Ten miles outside Jiangjia Village, at the foot of Python Mountain.

The Jiang brothers were hurrying away with a flat pole, a straw rope and a woodcutter.

"Brother, do you have to come all the way here to chop wood?" Jiang Wu shook his head, a little incomprehensible.

Jiang Yin said: "There are only some fruit trees left in the village, so I don't come here to get firewood." ”

"Then don't use it here, Python Mountain is evil!" Jiang Wu said softly.

Jiang Yin said again: "What is evil, the arbor forests of Python Mountain are all over the mountains, both high and thick, and it is best to use it to burn fires, besides, there are many people in the village, so you don't have to fight with others." ”

Jiang Wu asked: "But the terrain here is treacherous, and I heard that there are still many people bitten by poisonous snakes, do we really have to go up the mountain?" ”

Jiang Yin looked at the towering woods all over the mountains, pinched the woodcutter in his hand, and said to Jiang Wu: "What are you talking about, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the small forest outside the village has also been cut down almost, taking advantage of the sunny day, we will cut more firewood nearby, and it will be fine if we don't go into the mountain, alas......"

"Well, that's right, I see that the forest is flat, so let's go there." Jiang Wu pointed to the front right and said.

Jiang Yin nodded and walked over.

"Hey, there's a lot of gravel here, be careful......" Jiang Yin reminded Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu agreed, and cut it down under a green oka tree. In twenty minutes, the two of them had already made four bundles of firewood, and they were about to put their arms on their shoulders and rush back.

Suddenly, a voice came from the woods: help...... Help me......

"Xiao Wu ......" Jiang Yin stopped and looked at the voice.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Wu looked at the strange expression on Jiang Yin's face suspiciously.

"Listen, it's like someone is shouting for help, it's coming from that direction." Jiang Yin stretched out his hand and pointed, and a gust of wind happened to blow in front of him, blowing the branches and rustling.

Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Brother, it's the wind, no one shouts for help, only we will come to this place." ”

Jiang Yin disagreed, and said: "That's not necessarily, if someone is really injured here, wouldn't we have delayed someone's life." I heard from the village chief that there was just a mudslide on the mountain, what if someone was buried? ”

"What does the village chief know, he is confused, I heard that there are the most snakes and insects on Python Mountain, and they have become fine miles after a long time, specifically to charm young and strong young men like us, let's go quickly, the more I talk, the more cautious I panic, you see, the sun that was still round just now is now cloudy." Jiang Wu said with an oath.

"You also believe this kind of woman's nonsense, I, Jiang Yin, sit upright, and don't do anything bad in my life, what are I afraid of these ghosts and ghosts?" Jiang Yin was cautious, for fear that someone would be injured and trapped, so he didn't listen to Jiang Wu's persuasion and slowly walked to the depths of the forest.

For many years, almost no one approached the mountain, because there were many wild beasts, especially snakes, so in the eyes of the locals, it was equivalent to a "forbidden place", and sensational legends were circulated.

Jiang Wu had no choice but to follow. At this juncture, a gunshot rang out, which frightened the brothers to stop moving forward.

The two leaned together, looked around in alarm, and used a pyre in front of them.

Jiang Wu asked in a panic, "Brother, what...... What sound, is it gunshot? ”

Jiang Yin nodded and said, "Yes, I have heard this voice, when the devils swept our village, the gunfire did not stop for several days and nights, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." ”

"That'...... Then let's go, what if it's a devil? Jiang Wu reminded.

"Isn't the devil gone, how can it be ......" Jiang Yin finished speaking, and another cry for help came from the forest. This cry for help was loud and clear, and it made people's nerves tense when they heard it. Jiang Yin said: "It's not a devil, it's a Chinese." Then he put down the pyre and ran in the direction of the sound, and Jiang Wu also followed quickly. Sure enough, behind several large trees, there was a man with a dirty face, who was reaching out with a hand and clutching the trunk tightly, the pistol fell in front of him, and the rest of his body had been buried by the mud and rocks. I saw that the man's two eyes had become bloody holes, his face was full of scratches, his mouth was slightly open weakly, and the two lines of blood and tears had long been dry, as if telling his misfortune. Jiang Yin couldn't tell whether he was friend or foe for a while, he only heard Chinese, and he was eager to save people's hearts, so he stepped forward with an arrow, opened the kettle on his waist and poured him two sips. "Friend, what village are you from, what is your name, and why are you here?"

"I'm ...... I came to the local area to look for relatives, my name is Hao Chuan, I met bandits on the side of the mountain, and fled to the mountain in a panic, but I didn't expect to encounter a landslide, which is ...... Hao Chuan drank several sips ......of water, calmed down a lot, and continued: "Benefactor, do you have anything to eat, I've been hungry for two days?" "We'll get you out first, and when we get to the village, I'll let my daughter-in-law make it for you." Jiang Yin turned back to Jiang Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, come and help, the soil is frozen, first pry off the big stone with a woodcutter, and then see if you can pull him out." Jiang Wu agreed, squatted down and began to pry the stones, while Jiang Yin observed the position of the borrowed force on the other side. After a while, the mud and stones above Hao Chuan's shoulders had been cleared, and as soon as his purple neck came into contact with the cold wind, he exhaled cold air. The two didn't delay any longer, Jiang Yin bent over the ground, put Hao Chuan's exposed hand on his shoulder, hugged his armpit and lifted him up little by little. Fortunately, Hao Chuan's figure was petite, and as soon as Jiang Yin exerted his strength, he exposed most of his upper body very smoothly, and Jiang Wu was beside him to remove the clods of soil under him. Soon, Hao Chuan was rescued, trembling against the trunk of the tree, Jiang Yin immediately took off his cotton clothes and covered him. After Jiang Wu saw it, he pulled Jiang Yin and whispered: "Brother, this person is unknown, and he has a gun, what if he is a bandit, we really want to take him home?" Jiang Yin smiled and said: "It's all saved to this, is it too unkind to let him fend for himself here." Besides, are the two of us still afraid that he will be blind, you are too worried. Hao Chuan was blind and knew that this brother had a problem with his identity, and began to think about how to deal with it. Jiang Yin wanted to help Hao Chuan, but was stopped by Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu squatted down and asked Hao Chuan: "Who are you looking for, there are not many people surnamed Hao, there is only one person in our village, are you not his relative?" "Oh, it's Daddy Hao, he's not ......" Jiang Yin just wanted to speak, but Jiang Wu covered his mouth. When Hao Chuan heard this, his brain was like a motor, galloping quickly, to this point, if the other party pretended to be tempted, wouldn't he be in the trap, but thinking about Jiang Yin's words, is there still a variable. What should I say, seeing that waiting any longer will inevitably arouse their suspicions, so I wanted to bet on him, and said: "Yes, I am a distant relative of Daddy Hao, and I specially came to join him." "Then you know ......" Jiang Wu wanted to ask again, but this time he was stopped by Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin said: "Okay, if you have any questions, go back and ask again, if he doesn't freeze to death, I'll freeze to death." ”
