The man was short and stocky, with thick eyebrows, and at first glance he looked like a man, but his eyes betrayed him. The squeaky eyes are enough to show that he is a profiteer.

Lu Yufeng approached him and asked to rent a guide and five donkeys. I don't have a problem with renting a guide, but I don't know how to rent a donkey.

I said in my heart that we were going to go into the valley, and we were still walking on a winding mountain road, so would it be convenient to ride a donkey? It's better to walk.

can see that Lu Yufeng's appearance is very resolute, there must be his reasons.

The four of us didn't mix too much, and kept a certain distance from them, and the two brothers exchanged words for a while, and finally the profiteer sighed and said, "Okay, I'll rent it to you at this price." ”

He deliberately raised the tone so that we could hear it, as if to say, how much we are cheap.

In fact, his words didn't make me feel anything, but the word "also" aroused my vigilance. What does the word mean? Someone entered Panshan early and went to Meishan Village.

After Lu Yufeng negotiated with the profiteer, the profiteer collected the money on the spot, and it was really not cheap, so he rented this thing and asked for 3,000 yuan.

He took us to the donkey farm again, and found an old man who looked fifty or sixty years old, and asked us to call him Uncle Shi, saying that Uncle Shi was the guide and would lead us down the mountain safe and sound [up or down? 】。

I have the impression that it is the uncle who spends the money, but in front of Uncle Shi, he has become the uncle, and he also urged our five customers to hurry up, and he tried to come back before dark.

Lu Yufeng frowned after hearing this, and asked Uncle Shi, "I heard that it will take half a day to walk the mountain, let alone half a day, and it is already noon, old man, how can you come back before dark?" ”

Uncle Shi was too lazy to explain, and he was smoking a dry cigarette while leading the donkey for us.

There were more than a dozen donkeys in this donkey farm, and I found this old man very interesting, looking for those old, weak, sick and disabled goods. I just can't figure it out, isn't it more efficient for the five of us to rent donkeys instead of buying donkeys, and he makes some good ones for us to ride?

But the old man is too weird to talk, and we can't ask anything.

Then the old man led the way, and the five of us rode donkeys to follow, and just like that left the village and ran towards the winding hills.

As soon as I entered the mountain, my whole mood became very good, we were next to the ridge, walking the winding mountain road, looking at the green color of the valley on the other side, and listening to Uncle Shi humming a country tune, very pleasant.

Even the five of us started talking and laughing, but as we got deeper, we talked less.

Because the road was getting narrower and narrower, at last the donkey's four hooves barely stood on it, and they were nervous when they had a little more space. We also lined up in a row, Uncle Shi first, Chu Chengliang, Wan Xiaobao, Pan Zi followed, then me, and finally Lu Yufeng.

And if I look down at the bottom of my body while walking like this, I can see the valley under my feet, which is three or five hundred meters deep, not that I am afraid of heights, but that if this donkey misses, I will have to fall down with it and see the king of Hades together.

I couldn't help but ask the question I had thought about before, "Why don't we get off the donkey and walk instead?" ”

Lu Yufeng and Uncle Shi rejected me together, Uncle Shi preemptively explained to me that he didn't ride a donkey or was not afraid, so he pointed to the valley and said, "Young man, have you noticed?" The mountain road under our feet is an inclined plane, and after a while there will be more fine soil and gravel on it, and these donkeys will not go wrong, but if you walk and take a wrong step, you will fall to your death, but I am an old guide, listen to me. ”

I nodded along with the others, and I understood.

At the current rate, I guess Ah Feng is right, we really have to walk all afternoon, and I don't understand why Uncle Shi is so sure that he can rush back to the village before dark.

I've been riding a donkey for so long that I really want to close my eyes, at least so that I don't have to worry about the donkey falling down.

But in total, if you close your eyes like this, you won't have time to react to any danger, and it is likely to backfire.

We walked for another hour, and there was an occasional strong wind on the mountain road, and there was a sudden buzz in the distance.

The sound was a mess, not a single one, but a group of things. Guess it's a hornet.

I chuckled in my heart, in such a narrow meeting place, we also encountered wasps, the consequences were unimaginable, especially when the donkey heard the buzzing sound, he seemed very irritable, and said that I rode this one, and from time to time I also shaved my hooves.

I was so frightened that I didn't know which one to look for, while doing my best, I stroked the donkey's mane vigorously, and said silently in my heart, Brother Donkey, Uncle Donkey, you must hold on, while looking up into the distance, waiting for the appearance of the bee colony.

Uncle Shi didn't react much, he whistled and stopped the five donkeys, and then he looked up slightly and looked into the distance.

Lu Yufeng was behind me, and I took advantage of the time to look back at him, wondering what he thought.

Lu Yufeng was also a little nervous at this time, but he was able to suppress this emotion, he glanced at Uncle Shi coldly, and made a waiting gesture to me.

About a cigarette had passed, and something unexpected appeared in the distance.

A strange man in a cloak, a large straw hat, and a gauze scarf around his face appeared, and he was holding a large sealed basket with small holes in it, from which the buzzing sound came from.

In other words, the hornets are all in the big basket, and this man is really brave and bold, and he is walking on this mountain road, holding a basket, and he is really not afraid of slippery feet.

When he saw the five of us blocking the way, he stopped, covered by a veil, and I couldn't make out his expression.

Uncle Shi shouted first and said to the stranger, "Hey! Friend, let's go on top, why is it good to go the wrong way? ”

The strange man was very direct, leaned over the ridge, lifted the basket high, and turned his head to look at us.

His meaning is obvious, he just stood still, let's go first, but I always feel that with him in the way, can the road be used?

Uncle Shi didn't have any worries about this, he turned around and emphasized to us, "Five guests, don't move for a while, don't move around, I'll take the donkey team, just go over slowly, he is a beekeeper in Meishan, don't worry, even if this bee flies out, it will never bite." ”

I don't believe Uncle Shi's words, and I said in my heart that the strange man himself is tightly wrapped, and he said that he doesn't bite people, who believes it?

But now I can't help it, Uncle Shi blew a whistle, and the donkey automatically followed.

I felt a lot of pressure, and my head was overflowing with big beads of sweat. I watched the same as watching a movie, watching Uncle Shi pass by the weirdos first, followed by Chu Chengliang.

During this period, the strange man was very interesting, he kept looking at us, and when Chu Chengliang just passed by, the strange man also spoke, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where did you come from?" ”

Chu Chengliang replied without thinking about it, "North, Wuzhou." ”

The weirdo lowered his head and asked no more. The next ones to pass by were Wan Xiaobao and Pan Zi.

When Panzi passed by, there was a small accident, and a strong wind suddenly blew. I don't know if the current environment is more important to my concept, I feel that this wind is simply too demonic, and it is not too much to describe it as flying sand and rocks.

The donkeys were a little commotional, and Uncle Shi hurriedly shouted to let the donkeys stabilize, the strange man was nothing, and he didn't move much. All five of us unconsciously blocked our eyes.

I had closed my eyes and closed them, but I was scared and forced them open again.

In an instant, the corner of the strange man's scarf was blown open, and I didn't see what he looked like, but I saw three moles on his left cheek, arranged in a zigzag pattern.

I was shocked in my heart, and I shouted a bad word in my voice.

Because Lu Yufeng said last night that these three moles represent the enemy, that is, the Meishan killer, he suddenly appeared here, and he was holding a bee basket, the meaning is obvious.

He first took a look at us to confirm our identity, and when we were far away, he would definitely call the hornets out and play some tricks to get the hornets to chase us and sting us.

I said in my heart, how vicious is this killer's intentions? And I shouted this sentence just now, which also made everyone look at me, and Lu Yufeng asked what was wrong?

I stared at the killer holding up the bee basket, and thought to myself, I broke him now, and there was no benefit at all, otherwise he would release the hornet, and we would be desperate, and the best would have to end together.

I had an idea, and I covered my eyes and hummed, saying that my eyes were lost just now, and I was so uncomfortable.

Lu Yufeng and Pan Zi both comforted me, Wan Xiaobao was cold, and he didn't say anything at all, the most annoying thing was Chu Chengliang, he actually snorted. Obvious mockery of me.

But I don't care, as long as I can make the mistake I just made and make it right.

I quietly reached for the waistband of my trousers and took out the stick.

Now the flint is tucked into the handle, which at first glance does not look like a weapon, and I immediately hid it in the cuff of my left hand.

I plan to use the electric shock function on the slinger to secretly stun the killer and try to resolve this crisis.

After Panzi passed, it was my turn next, Uncle Shi shouted from afar, and the donkey under me walked slowly.

Little by little, I passed by the killer, and I waited for it, and I looked at the big basket by the way.

So close, I could see a lot of wasps lying on the holes in the baskets, but they couldn't really get out, and as long as I was sharp for a while, the bees wouldn't pose a threat to us.

I silently cheered myself up, and just as I was about to leave the killer and he was standing behind me, I acted.

I took out the slinger and pressed the switch on it, and the crackling sound sounded, and the electric sparks came out, and I almost stabbed him.

The killer really didn't expect me to do this, it seems that he didn't react, and he couldn't dodge. But I really didn't think of it.

At this time, the donkey under me went wrong. Perhaps frightened by the crackling of electric sparks, it screamed and ran forward.
