Chapter Twenty-Three: I Advance and Retreat, I Retreat and Disturb the Enemy
This time I went north, and I originally brought enough food. However, because we lost one of our backpacks for food when we encountered danger before, and because of the repeated detours, the time we traveled was greatly extended, so we encountered this starvation day, which was as difficult as famine.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to set up a weasel.
In the old forests of the Moriyama Mountains in the northeast, there are many yellow skins, but they are not easy to catch. Rabbits and snakes are easy to catch, but if there are few of them, you can only fight the idea of yellow skins.
The fat man said that the yellow skin is too fine to deal with, and the yellow skin is too evil, and if we don't get it right, we will suffer. Besides, there must be a trap to catch the yellow skin, and it takes chicken feathers and blood, and now we have no tools to set traps, how to trick it into being fooled?
I thought about it for a while, and now there is really nothing to passively set traps to deceive, so I can only take the initiative and try my luck by digging holes.
The fat man felt that there was no other way at the moment, digging a hole was the easiest and most direct way, maybe he was lucky enough to dig out the vole's nest, and then meat and vegetables would not be a problem. Voles love to store food in the cave when they enter the winter, such as corn, chestnuts, and other grains, and the voles themselves have delicious meat and high fat content, which is a good calorie supply. If you can dig into the vole hole, it is equivalent to making a windfall.
Everyone's thoughts are very beautiful and innocent, but the reality is unusually cruel. The teammates, who bent over and ran their legs thin, carpeted tightly in the surrounding woods for more than an hour, but found nothing, not even a small mouse hole.
As night fell, everyone held the flickering candles, and continued to bend down and bow their heads. Keep searching in the woods.
Suddenly, a black figure burst out from behind the tree in front of me. "Uncle, are you looking for me?"
A terrible ghost voice suddenly sounded from the side. Raising my head suddenly, the cyan face that was close at hand made me gasp, and my mouth opened wide in horror, and after pouring a breath of cold air, I hurriedly closed it, and almost bit my tongue.
The ghost-like little ghost secretly appeared again, and I was shocked into a cold sweat. Hurriedly retreated, away from the trees that the imp had leaned out of.
In the dark and unknown woods, one ghost after another screamed, "Uncle, are you looking for me?" ”
A black figure leaned out from behind the tree, with its mouth wide open, revealing a mouthful of tiny fangs, almost biting my arm. The little floral padded jacket that the imp wore yesterday. It has turned into a tattered rag like a rag, and his face has become even more bruised, faintly revealing a black gas, and his face is hideous and smiling. Like a greedy and insatiable demon.
In just one day, the resentment and evil thoughts of the little ghosts seemed to increase a hundredfold, and the terrifying aura became tangible and tangible. Heavy pressure on everyone's hearts and shoulders, people can't help but doubt. Behind the strange changes of the little ghosts, is there anyone secretly making trouble?
It is not known whether someone is secretly playing tricks. However, there was no doubt that the evil ghost was coming, and everyone immediately opened the posture and took out the "Heavenly Master Ghost Talisman" from their arms.
Because of the previous terrifying experience, in order to prevent the little ghosts from attacking again, the seventh master distributed the charm to everyone's hands in case they were needed.
The crowd held the charm and retreated, always ready for battle. A swarm of swarthy imps jumped up and down on the snow, chasing behind everyone, like long black tails growing on their bodies, and they couldn't shake them off. The evil imps have started a triumphant and disturbing way of fighting with us, which is about to exhaust us and emaciate, and want to completely drag us down.
This move is really ruthless, and the people who are so hungry that their eyes are already shining, where do they still have the strength to run, so they simply concentrate in front of a tree, holding the yellow charm, ready to give it a go.
The fat man swallowed his saliva and said to me: "Lao Zheng, why don't we eat fried ghosts tonight!" ”
If these little ghosts could eat them, I would have swallowed them all in my stomach, and there was no need to fry them at all!
The little ghost, who was better than a monkey, saw the dozens of talismans raised in everyone's hands, and immediately disappeared again. The people who could only look at the empty woods and couldn't stop smiling bitterly drank the northwest wind, and tears were about to flow out.
The imp has run away, but we still have to continue our work of finding food. The people who were so hungry that their bodies were weak, their hands and feet were weak, and they were about to fall to the ground and could not get up again, suddenly they were very lucky to be pitied by God, and found a small snake hole under a big tree.
The monkey exclaimed excitedly, "Great. ”
As a result, he was immediately covered by the fat man, "Shhhh ”
I reminded the crowd with some concern: "The snake that wakes up from hibernation is the most dangerous, because it has accumulated poisonous juice for a winter, and if it is bitten at this time, it will immediately die." ”
The fat man, whose eyes were red with hunger, took what I said as the wind in his ears, and told the monkey to take a long branch and stab it into the hole, and then he stood at the mouth of the cave, and as long as the snake dared to show its head, he took up his sword and ended the battle.
The bonfire was raised in the cave sheltered from the wind, and the action of putting on the yellow skin was over before it began, and the people who drank a large pot of snake soup, holding their round bellies, said with great gratitude: "At last I have come back to life."
The python caught like a pie in the sky, after eating a meal, there is still a large piece left, made into jerky, and it can last for a while.
It's just that the tireless little ghost seems to be completely eyeing us, and he comes to report almost every night, and he is as punctual as clocking in and out of work, and the day never falls. We cleaned up a few of them with the help of the yellow charm, but the others were still as nimble as monkeys, and they ran away without a trace when they couldn't beat them.
I was always worried that the master of the mechanism would shoot again, but I didn't expect that at this time, the flying mischief provoked a group of imps with farts insects, and these imps are constantly evolving, before we shook the yellow talisman in our hands, they all ran away, and now they will fight us for a few rounds, and it seems to be becoming more and more powerful, which can be seen from their gradually changing appearance. This makes people worry, will they evolve into terrifying ghosts who are not afraid of Huang Fu at all?
Sensing that the little ghosts were not right, I asked Seventh Master if he had any opinion on this matter?
Seventh Master's answer was very concise, just three words, "I don't know." ”
I gave him a disdainful look, then turned my head to the cigarette man, only to see him immediately shake his head. (To be continued......)
