Mountain and Sea Demon Tomb Chapter 3 Alder Cannibal Tree (1)

At least 20 kilometers into the mountains from the county seat, we negotiated with a peasant family to hire a horse-drawn carriage to take us into the mountains. Along the way, the fat man happily sang "Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River", and stood at the front of the carriage with one hand across his chest and the other behind him to make a forward posture, and after a while, the smell of horse-drawn was smoked back, and he sat beside me honestly.

I said to the fat man, "Little Fatty, you sang our army with high morale just now, why don't you continue to sing?" The fat man glanced at me and said, "What does this horse eat in the morning, it smells so bad that I almost vomited all the cumin mutton I ate at noon, and if it does, what a pity!" Me: "What is cumin mutton, if you really spit it out when you stand there, when we come back, I will invite you to eat Shanhaiguan's special 'muddy pot', I can't let you perform for nothing." ”

The fat man said hatefully: "Old Hu, you lack virtue, if you want to see the fat man's jokes, there is no way!" But the muddy pot sounds pretty good, and I think this can be put on the agenda. "The farmer who was driving the car laughed as he listened to me and the fat man laughing nonsense, and Shirley Yang was commonplace. While the fat man and I were slamming each other, the carriage came to a halt, and the farmer turned back and said, "It's here." ”

Shirley Young gave the money and told the farmer to wait here for us to come out. If there is really a big tomb here, we have to go back to the county seat to buy a guy first, just with our bare hands, we really don't know how to enter the tomb. Shirley Yang asked the farmer as he left, "Uncle, do you know any strange things or legends in this mountain?" ”

The farmer replied with a smile: "You female doll, you have nothing to do in the ravine." Even our locals don't go into the mountains lightly, so it is better to give me more hoes and weeds in the wheat field when we have time. But be careful, I haven't heard of anyone in this place for years, and there may be some wild wolves or poisonous snakes or something. Shirley Yang saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he said yes and beckoned us to go into the mountains.

This mountain is full of tall poplars and cedar trees, and in late spring and early summer, it is the situation of lush foliage, and the birds in the forest are singing gradually, and the light and shadow are mottled, which is a very moving scene. The fat man picked up a long branch and stuck it on the ground before taking a step, and asked me as he went, "Old Hu, will there be big smoke bubbles in this forest?" "The large smoke bubble is formed by the accumulation of a large number of fallen leaves on the ground and decay, containing a large amount of gas and liquid, and the surface is covered by fresh fallen leaves, and it is impossible to get out if you accidentally step on it and sink into it, and it is called "quicksand in the forest". I replied, "Probably not, there aren't so many fallen leaves now, and it stands to reason that it can't be a big smoke bubble, but it's better to be careful." Chubby, I order you to be the vanguard of our army, walk in front of the team, and use the golden hoop stick in your hand to inspect the road ahead for our army. The fat man said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Hu, I am also the deputy commander, and it is no problem to survey the terrain for the team, but at least I should say that I am the first soldier to voluntarily, don't always give orders, which makes me unable to raise my head in front of the American advisers." ”

Shirley Young chuckled and walked beside me. After walking for more than ten minutes, a small river appeared in front of me, which was the river drawn on the map that crossed the feng shui land, and it was necessary to cross this river to reach the empty space. The river is not in a hurry, the river is shallow and crosses, the river surface is about three meters wide, the fat man does not want to wet the newly bought military hook leather shoes, he says that he does not pedal the water to cross the river, he just scrapes together a few big stones and throws them in the river, and crosses the river first by stepping on the stones. Shirley Yang slipped and almost sprained his foot as he crossed the river. I could only help her slowly.

When I got to the other side of the river, Shirley Yang said to me, "Old Hu, do you smell anything?" "I sniffed and didn't smell anything, but I knew Shirley Young wasn't a fussy person, and she had a point in asking. Shirley Yang said: "As soon as I entered the forest, I felt that there was a sweet aroma in the air, very faint and faint, at first I thought it was the smell of wild flowers in the forest, but I just looked closely, and there were no flowers in the forest except for trees. And when I was crossing the river just now, I don't know why I suddenly felt dizzy in my head, so I almost fell. ”

Hearing Shirley Yang say this, I quickly sniffed cautiously, and sure enough, I found that there was a sweet aroma in the air, which was very charming, and people couldn't help but want to smell it a few more times. Just as I was gulping down the sweet scent, I suddenly felt dizzy in my head, and then I wanted to scream. I thought to myself, maybe it was poisoned, so I quickly bit my tongue, and the pain was accompanied by the smell of blood in my mouth, and I cleared up a little, only to find Shirley Yang standing beside me, looking wooden and silently weeping. I panicked, I had never seen her cry, what happened to her today. I hurriedly went over and shook her, and Shirley Yang slowly came back to her senses and said to me, "Old Hu, this aroma is poisonous!" I just felt delirious and wanted to cry. ”
