Five years ago.

The group set off into the depths of the jungle with various farm tools and sticks.

Because they've heard that something strange has happened here lately.

The farmhouses located around Zhiyun Village are often robbed at night, and even in the middle of the night, black shadows are seen constantly flashing from the sky, which plunges the entire village into an invisible haze.

Although no one has been attacked since the incident, or what has evaporated from the world, the roosters and dogs bark at night, and the people who make trouble are panicked, and there is no peace all day long.

Who can stand this?

It's not.

Hu You, the newly appointed head of Zhiyun Village, came to this back mountain with some sturdy men in the village to try his luck to find the upsetting guy.

It's not something to be obsessed with, otherwise something might go wrong.

Didn't he, the newly appointed village chief, collapse directly?

Everyone didn't seem to find anything strange along the way, it was still a desolate scene of barren mountains and mountains, grass and trees.

This should also be the place where they planned Zhiyun Village, but there were too few young strong men, so they had to maintain only one inch and two acres of land.

But this is actually enough, as long as everyone can eat enough and not starve to death, then this village is a qualified village.

And that's what the people in the village thought about the same.

There weren't so many unnecessary roundabouts, not so many rivalries, and the whole village was like a big family, spending almost centuries helping each other.

Hu You used the stick in his hand to push away the waist-high weeds in front of him, there was still nothing wrong, and said lightly: "That's strange, for now, there are not even a single extra footprints on the mountain road within a radius of ten miles, how can there be any thieves?"

Hu You looked back at the messy footprints of his group, looked at the front of him again, and fell into deep thought.

Some villagers said that there were some monsters and ghosts flying around here, but he knew that where did the ghosts come from in this world, it was just a strange talk made up by the novelist with the pen in his hand combined with some anecdotes, he grew so big, trekked through mountains and rivers, and even a person once broke into the dark cave in the back mountain, and in the end he didn't see anything, nothing happened.

So far, Hu You doesn't even believe in the existence of the immortals flying around.

So dare to conclude that someone must be playing tricks.

But at the moment, it's a real headache.

The sturdy man on Hu's right side was carrying a big axe handed down from his ancestors, and spat on the ground fiercely: "Don't let me catch this dog thing that stole my chicken, otherwise I will directly send him to the sky with an axe, so that he can have a good birth in the next life, don't do some sneaky things here, it's really unlucky!"

Say this at any time, but the men behind him are all laughing at this man named Yu Feng.

During this time, it is true that his family is the worst.

If you want to say what a miserable method, you can't really say it for a while.

But if Yufeng's home is on the road to this barren mountain, it will make people smile.

Isn't this the fate of a thief, no wonder Yu Feng is so angry at this time.

I heard that it was not only the stealing of a few old hens in the yard, but even some grain and grass were also served in a pot, which is called a vigorous and resolute action.

There are many times when the thief ran to someone else's house to steal something, and turned it all over Yufeng's house, once or twice, it was okay, and every time it was like this, it couldn't help but make people laugh.

Hu You, as the village head, needs to have absolute impartiality, in the face of the robbery case of Yufeng's family, he should have an attitude of accountability, but now even he wants to laugh out loud, but the identity of the village chief can only hold back a smile, and his face changes in the world are varied, and it is wonderful.

Yu Feng's face turned red and roared behind him: "You people don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, the most important thing now is to quickly find that dog thing, and then slaughter it directly, it is a scourge to stay in the world." ”

Hu You smiled: "Okay, okay, just talk about it, if it's really human, we really can't do anything, after all, hateful people must have pity, as long as they can be convinced, it is also a good way to let them stay in Zhiyun Village and live with us." ”

Yu Feng didn't speak, just sighed and nodded.

Hu You said: "Okay, look for it nearby before dark, and if there is no result, go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

Everyone nodded, and they scattered to continue the work at hand.

Passing by a stream, Hu You patted his somewhat sore waist, looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, inform everyone to prepare to go down the mountain." ”

Yu Feng was nodding his head, but found that Hu You sighed lightly, swept to his side and walked to a boulder, and didn't get up for a long time after squatting.

Yu Feng stepped forward, poked the axe in his hand to the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Village Chief, what's wrong?"

Hu You moved his body to the side, Yu Feng's original movements froze instantly, his brows were tightly locked, and he stared at the ground tightly.

There, there seems to be an unnatural depression.

The shape is more like a figure lying flat on the ground, and it looks like a strong man.

Here's what's weird.

There is only such a humanoid pothole in a radius of dozens of paces, and there are no footprints around.

If there is, it is also a long series of footprints that Yu Feng and the village chief Hu You came here, all the way from the depths of the jungle to here.

Hu You looked at the surrounding environment and said loudly: "Let's go back first, and look for it near here tomorrow." ”

Yu Feng picked up the axe and nodded: "That's the only way." ”

Let's get out of here first.

Hu You picked up the stick on the ground, straightened up, and looked carefully at the bottom of the shallow human-shaped pit for a while.

I don't know how long it took before I shook my head and left here reflexively.

After Hu You found the location of everyone, one of them ran to Hu You with a strange face and said: "We found a father and daughter, the little girl is about five or six years old, and his father may be dying, we can't bear to see them freezing and starving here, and want to wait for them to be in Zhiyun Village, but the little girl seems to be reluctant, so we came to ask the village chief's opinion, I don't know how to deal with this matter." ”

The village chief Hu You's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after blurting out a sentence without thinking, he hurriedly asked this person to lead the way.

"It's important to save people!"

Barren mountains and mountains, with complex structures and rugged terrain.

After climbing and wading through mountains and rivers for an unknown number of times, I came to the ground where the man said the father and daughter were.

Pushing aside the weeds, you can see a girl in a dirty white dress kneeling in front of a man with an ordinary face, her body trembling slightly, as if she was crying.

Hu You didn't approach for the first time, but laughed softly: "May I ask if there is anything we can do to help your father and daughter, we live in a nearby village, if you set off immediately, you will definitely be able to go to the village before sunset, there is a person in our village who has medical skills, maybe he can help you." ”

The girl looked up, and the delicate outline of her face and her teary eyes really surprised these old and rough men who did some hard work on weekdays.

I'm a good girl, and I really deserve the word exquisite in this life.

However, the girl just hugged the man lying on the ground tightly, and did not reply directly to Hu You's words.

Hu You continued: "If you continue to lie in this wilderness, maybe there will be some problems, it is better to go to the village with us, rest assured, the people in the village are very good, they will not hurt you anything, and they can also save your father, this is not good, why nest in this place, maybe it will make your father's injuries worse, this is the result that no one wants to see." ”

The girl glanced at her father's slightly frowning, pale face, and bit her lip as if she was struggling with something.

Then he said softly, "Okay." ”
