How can there be a smell of blood here?

The light of the fire in the distance flickered and flickered, faintly, and there was a chaotic sound. Xiaohua and I glanced at each other, and at the same time we slowed down our steps and walked towards the place where the fire came from.

The mountain here was upward, and soon our road came to an end, and the road ahead of us suddenly turned sharply, forming a downhill slope, and there was a stream on the downhill slope, which rose with the rain, and the water was fierce and murmuring.

In the crevices of the rocks by the stream, there are a lot of torches, probably poured with some kind of vegetable oil, and the torches will not be extinguished in the light rain. At the same time, more than a dozen middle-aged mountain people were braving the rain and washing things by the stream.

Xiaohua and I squatted down and watched between the boulders, and then I realized that the two bears we hunted during the day were actually moved by them to the stream, disemboweled, and a whole bear skin was stripped off, and the remaining six bear paws were also cut off, and all useful things such as bear bile were taken out, and the whole bear corpse was unrecognizable.

There were also some jackal corpses next to it, which were also skinned, and the jackals' corpses were thrown directly into the stream, down the river, and washed away.

I met and worked for a long time, and these villagers came to pick up the leaks. Most of the bear skins on the market now are imitation skins, and even so, they cost seven or eight thousand, while on the black market, a complete real bear skin can be sold for fifty or sixty thousand, and the value can almost rise four or five times when it is transferred to the manufacturer for processing.

I have come to understand after a little thought, these mountain people have lived here for a long time, miserable, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, in the depths of Wushan, rare and precious wild animals are no longer a few, they do not take the opportunity to get rich, are they not fools?

But they obviously also know that it is illegal to hunt and kill rare animals, so they sneak in the middle of the night to pick up the leaks, and they are probably afraid that a few of us will know.

At that time, they had done almost the same, led by a black-faced man, put everything into a bamboo basket, covered it with straw, and then more than ten people gathered together, as if they were discussing something, after a while, two sturdy men, carrying the bamboo basket on their backs, began to go down the mountain, it is estimated that they often do this kind of work, and there is already a way to sell the stolen goods, so they are ready to shoot overnight.

Not long after the two men left, the rest of the people also disposed of the bear carcass, and under the washing of the rain, there was no trace of it soon.

It seems that I don't have to worry about being reported by the people in the village, I guess they are still afraid of being reported by us.

Just when I thought it was over, these people should go home, in the mountains and forests below, suddenly there was a wolf howl, for the sound of the wolf, I am really too familiar, in Kunlun Mountain, I almost frightened when I listened, and formed an impression, that is, the wolf is particularly smart, particularly fierce, at this moment I heard the wolf howl, my heart sank, it's over, these villagers are about to lose their soldiers today.

Soon, a large pack of about twenty wolves slowly revealed, they were obviously attracted by the strong smell of blood before, and also formed an encirclement in advance, at this moment, the villagers' way down the mountain was blocked, behind them was a stream, if you want to escape, you can only cross the stream and run to the hiding place where Xiaohua and I are.

But this is a high ground, and it is estimated that before I could climb halfway, I was all bitten to death by wolves.

Xiaohua and I didn't bring any equipment when we came out, just to help, but also powerless, just when I was thinking about how to deal with the wolves, but I saw those mountain people, they were not afraid, they were close to their backs, tightly guarded.

Then I realized that each of them had a gun on his back, and strangely enough, it did not look like a homemade earthen gun made by the hunters in the mountains, but it was not like modern equipment either, and at this moment, the mountain people opened fire at the same time, as if they had discussed it.

This is the deep mountains and old forests, there is no need to avoid the sound of gunfire at all, the most peculiar thing is that these mountain people are not only extremely accurate marksmanship, but also the long barrel guns in their hands can also be fired continuously, more than ten people, more than ten guns, the wolves are powerless to parry, in the fierce gunfire, not long after, more than ten mountain wolves of all sizes fell.

The rest of the wolves were frightened, and after the wolf king let out a low howl, they fled one after another.

The whole battle took less than five minutes.

I was dumbfounded, Xie Xiaojiu obviously didn't expect it, his expression was surprised, his eyes flickered, obviously, this group of mountain people is not as simple as what we saw.

After dealing with the wolves, everyone had a smile on their faces, and there was a lot of wolf blood on their faces, and the smiles looked extremely hideous in the firelight. Soon, they skinned the wolf with swift movements, and then, under the leadership of the black-faced man, they quickly walked back towards the hiding place of me and Xiaohua.

I chuckled in my heart, and immediately wanted to retreat, but at this moment, due to the rain overnight, the rocks and soil have been loosened, and Xiaohua and I lay on the spot for a long time, and as soon as we moved, there was a gravel rolling down, and the black-faced man was startled and shouted: "Who! ”

Immediately after that, everyone unleashed their speed and quickly rushed towards the high ground where we were.

Xiaohua and I hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran, more than ten people and more than ten guns, God knows if with their ruthlessness, will they kill people, or don't take their lives as a child's play.

There was mud in the mountains, and we ran all the way down, leaving a lot of footprints, so that sooner or later we would be caught. Xiaohua hissed in her mouth, pulled my arm and turned around, and began to run between the rocks, where there were all rocks of different sizes, towering ancient trees burst out from the cracks in the stones, and there was no dirt in sight, we ran wildly between the rocks in the rain, and there was a shouting sound behind us.

Soon they realized that it was not from the village, and then they began to release their guns, which had a range of four or five hundred meters, and although they were at a distance, there were still guns that hit the stones, and God knows if the next shot would happen to hit us.

I had never given hope to my luck, and suddenly I even had the heart to jump into the river.

It is full of ancient trees that have grown for thousands of years, dense, thick trunks, the more you run in, the denser the trees, at this moment, Xiaohua suddenly buckled the raised nodules on the tree, and after a few scurries, the body was completely hidden in the bushes, the trees here, almost all of them are next to each other, he climbed this tree, can be transferred to other trees at any time, and the night is dark and rainy, hidden inside, it is simply blessed.

But I don't have the skills of Xiaohua, I have six or seven meters of bare tree trunks, and he will reach the top in a few scurries, and I guess before I can climb up, I will be shot on the spot by the mountain people.

Secretly scolded, I just slammed a little and desperately rushed to the mountains and rocks and trees, but just a few steps away, there was a sudden crisp sound in my ears, and then my waist tightened, and the whole person was lifted.

The body took off in an instant, and a huge pulling force came from above, and almost instantly, I was pulled off the ground, and the whole person was suspended from the trunk of a tree six or seven meters high.

At this time, I found that what was wrapped around my waist was a bronze chain the thickness of a child's fingers, and I was shocked, and when I turned around, I saw a stuffy oil bottle, which was leaning over a branch, and he glanced at me, pulled the chain, and motioned for me to go over.

I was being caught on a large tree trunk at the moment, and I didn't care to speak, so I quickly turned over and rode on the tree. My heart was still pounding, looking at the stuffy oil bottle, I immediately wanted to ask him, why did he come here in the middle of the night, confess leniently, resist strictly.

Just as I was about to speak, the stuffy oil bottle stretched out his hand and covered my mouth directly, without even looking at me, his black hole-like eyes stared down tightly. I immediately understood what he meant, and I didn't dare to speak, but when I looked down, I saw that the fire had already reached below, and more than a dozen people ran under the big tree with torches and guns, and suddenly, not just someone, shouted: "The moss here has been trampled on, and they have run that way." ”

After shouting, a group of people all held torches and continued to chase forward.

Moss stepped on? Strange, I didn't run forward, huh?

I subconsciously glanced at the feet of the stuffy oil bottle and found that the soles of his hiking boots were all blue-green marks. I immediately understood, after a long time, the stuffy oil bottle had already found out that Xiaohua and I were being chased again, and he still had time to set a trap.

The light of the mountain people's fire soon disappeared into the darkness, and at this moment I heard the sound of the branches of the trees rattling in my ears, and the little flower slid down the trunk of the tree, looked up at the two of us, and said, "If you want to spend the night in the tree, I will not accompany you." ”

Fuck.

With a scolding, I tore the bronze chain around my waist and slid down against the trunk of the tree. The mountain people found out that something was wrong and would soon chase them back, so we had to get back to the stockade before they did, otherwise it would be easy to be suspected.
