Chapter 12: An Eventful Season

The dawn pierced the belly of the night, tore open a piece of skin, and exposed the blood-red entrails to the heavens and the earth. The smell of burnt meat echoed over the ruins, and a crow's cry shattered the deathly peace. The horrible ashes of last night were swallowed into their stomachs, and no one knew what was going on, and no one cared.

"Damn man, almost burned your grandfather."

By the lake deep in the mountains, my grandfather wiped his dark little face and cursed with dirty words in his mouth. Children born in the countryside are all wild children, where there is someone to take care of, they know how to take care of themselves when they are used to being wild. Eleven or twelve years old is the age of growing up, and my grandfather tossed all night, and soon his stomach became hungry.

This deep mountain is full of wild fruits, and my grandfather has been arguing about these wild fruits since he was a child, and he naturally picks them to fill his stomach. With the sweet spring water and sweet fruits, my grandfather hadn't eaten so much for a long time. After solving the problem in his abdomen, Grandpa Tai lazily lay on the bluestone by the lake.

But my grandfather's heart couldn't be calmed for a long time, and last night's total still made him palpitate.

The big house is on fire, and Grandpa Tai is already preparing to leave this place. But the moment he passed by the grass baby, he suddenly changed his mind. Before, the grass baby deceived the corpse, and my grandfather heard a lot about the strange gods in the countryside, so he naturally knew it. Looking at the white hair that came out of the grass baby's body after that, now if you think about it carefully, you can guess that the grass baby has become a white zombie.

But what happened later became more and more weird, the white hair on the grass baby turned black at some point, and the grotesque shouts in the mouth were even more creepy. Grandpa Tai didn't know what was wrong with the grass baby at this time, but he clearly knew that if he couldn't solve the grass baby, it would be terrifying.

Before the man left, a fire must have been put in order to produce grass babies, but Grandpa Tai was afraid that he would leave a future trouble. If you don't have the experience of just writing things before, my grandfather will definitely hide as far away as possible, for fear of getting into trouble. But after what happened before, my grandfather has changed. Woe, it's been too much, and the so-called dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. And his life went back and forth several times in the Ghost Gate, and the things that were lost and recovered were the most precious, and he didn't want to go to the Ghost Gate again.

Therefore, Grandpa Tai turned around again, pulled out a gold-inlaid black knife and stabbed it into the back of the grass baby. The grass baby is also strange to say, at this time, she didn't resist, and after being cut off by her grandfather, she fell straight down.

Seeing that this problem was solved, Grandpa Tai naturally did not linger and walked towards the dog hole in the kitchen. Grandpa Tai couldn't believe that he had solved the monster in front of him so easily, and he still glanced at it before leaving. The grass baby waited straight for the fire to be devoured, without resistance or struggle, even if the grandfather didn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him and couldn't help but believe it.

Some people say that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. Even though Grandpa Tai's heart was as delicate as silk, he ignored a lot in the chaos. He didn't notice that the messy thing under the grass baby's skin was gone, and he didn't know what was splashed on the human skin on his body when he went down.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Grandpa Grandpa gritted his teeth and soaked the human skin in the water tank, then put on his clothes and climbed out of the dog hole. Fortunately, there was that layer of human skin, and after suffering for my grandfather, the smell of burnt flesh wafted out. Grandpa Tai only felt that his mouth was slipping, and he grunted down his throat, like an instinctive reaction when he saw the food.

Grandpa Tai only felt a numb back, and crawled out of the dog hole with a rolling belt, and then shook off the human skin he was wearing.

"It's too evil." Grandpa patted his chest desperately, and it took a long time before he could breathe.

After relieving himself, Grandpa Tai only felt that his nerves were about to break, and he didn't want to think about those things anymore. Just stared blankly at the big house that burned red, and suddenly felt a panic in my heart. He didn't know where he was going, it was impossible to go home, there would be a first time to be changed, there would be a second time. Escape? Where to flee, there is famine everywhere.

At that moment, my grandfather saw the deep mountains in the distance. Only there can have its own place. Indeed, there is a lot of food hidden in that deep mountain, and you can only live when you are full.

Grandpa Tai pondered that the fire was also terrifying, and it would not be long before someone from the village would come over. I didn't want to be discovered by those people anymore, and I didn't have the strength and energy to deal with them, so I ran towards the mountains.

Finding the way is naturally familiar to the country baby, and Grandpa Tai soon stood in front of a cloud of white fog, not daring to take another step forward. This is a taboo in the township, because this deep mountain looks like it is green and wonderful all year round. But the ancestors passed down the word that there is a mountain god living in this deep mountain, and those who enter it must not die well. The villagers are also superstitious, for fear of provoking the anger of the mountain gods, so they naturally dare not enter this deep mountain.

What's more, every village has to perform sacrifices every year. It is said that it is a sacrifice, but it is nothing more than inviting a wizard to dance the great god while driving pigs and sheep inside. It is also said that the evil door is also called, and every time the pigs and sheep who rush in will start to bark a few times, and soon there will be a dead silence. The villagers would bow down and say something inexplicable to the sorcerer, but everyone believed that the mountain god had received the sacrifice.

Grandpa's group of children is the most skinny, and they don't listen to what adults say, do they still care about these mountain gods who can't speak clearly? But then something happened that made all the children around the area afraid to go any closer to the mountains.

This happened five years ago, when my grandfather was only six years old. At that time, the leader was a child named Leather Monkey, fifteen or sixteen years old, the child king of the village. This skin monkey is irritable by nature, likes to fight the most, and his attack is very dark, and the adults who started to go crazy have also suffered at his hands. But this monkey is good to children, leading a group of dolls, large and small, and has never been bullied by people from neighboring villages. Therefore, the children in the village are jealous and admiring the skin monkey, and the status of the skin monkey is naturally echoed.

It happened in the autumn, the village was not harvested, the adults could not eat, and the children were naturally hungry. One day, a baby named Loach said to the monkey: "Brother Monkey, you see that our babies have one meal a day, what should we do if we go on like this?" ”

The leather monkey is also a righteous person, and he feels uncomfortable looking at a group of dolls who follow him. Many dolls are skinny and bony, staring at the big gurgling eyes, and they are monkeys without hair.

"Let's go, let's find some wild fruits to cushion our stomachs." With a wave of his hand, the monkey led a group of monkey children into the forest.

Adults can't eat enough to eat the idea of those fruits, what else will be left for the children? After searching for an afternoon, the children lowered their heads one by one, and their stomachs screamed desperately.

The leather monkey couldn't hold back on his face, touched his head, and said, "Don't worry, look at the deep mountains." This deep mountain is green all year round, and there may be a lot of wild fruits in it, as well as cattle and sheep. ”

As soon as these words were released, the monkey children were not afraid of heaven and earth, and they were hungry. It's like a group of howling sheep seeing the grass, and the monkey children are anxious to go to the mountains to pick wild fruits.

But the loach had a lot of eyes, shrunk his neck and said, "The adults say that there is a mountain god living there, so you can't go?" Besides, where are the cows and sheep that we can catch? ”

"What are you afraid of, the mountain god is also a god, can you see that we are hungry? Besides, this mountain god collects our cattle and sheep every year, and we can always drink soup when he eats meat, right? "The leather monkey himself is also playing the drum in his heart, but he is used to authority, where is he used to being questioned by others?

"Yes, what are you afraid of!"

"We are all babies, and the mountain gods won't blame children."

"That's it, Brother Loach, don't follow if you want to coax you, we'll tell you when we come back with a delicious meal and spicy drink." As soon as the monkey child heard the call of the monkey, he immediately started to coax.

This loach is also the number two person in the child, so he naturally doesn't like what others say, so he doesn't object to anything.

So, a group of people rushed towards the deep mountains, and the six-year-old grandfather also followed.
