Monsters, there are indeed monsters in this mountain forest, but this monster doesn't seem to like to eat people, but likes to eat local vegetables.

Bai Li shook his head and decided that it was better to inform the villagers to leave the mountain forest first. Before she could lift her head, she heard an angry voice. When I looked closely, there was an old man with a strange appearance and a bit of joy, who was fiercely directing Uncle Dong and the villagers to pick vegetables. Before she could speak, the old man beckoned to her very unceremoniously, "Come on, girl, cook!" ”

"Who is he, so fierce?" Bai Li asked the child closest to her.

"Your master." While picking the vegetables, the child said to Bai Li: "Why did you sleep well, and when you got up, you didn't even recognize your master." ”

"My master!" Bai Li looked at the strange old man: "When did I have a master?" ”

As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, he was swept into the water by a sudden gust of wind. Just as she tried to struggle to get up, a stone fell from the sky and landed just in front of her, smashing up a string of water splashes on her face, making her look more and more embarrassed.

"Who, who threw the stone?" Bai Li staggered, and almost fell into the water, and through the shaking ripples, she saw the face of an old man. Trying to stand still, he looked up and shouted at the strange old man, "Hey, is it the stone you lost?" ”

"The little girl is rude, she wants to call the master." The old man stroked his beard, picked up a tall stone, and stood up.

"In broad daylight, what kind of relatives do you old man recognize. When did I recognize you as a master, and when did you accept me as an apprentice? ”

"Forgot? Don't remember? The old man stretched his neck and leaned closer: "Forget not to worry, just think about it slowly." ”

"Bai Li, he is really your master." Just now, the child waded over: "His surname is Tao, and he lives in this mountain forest." Do you remember the first time you went up the mountain? If you hadn't met your master, how would you have been able to walk out of this mountain forest, and how would you have known that there is a stream here, and these edible vegetables. ”

"What does it have to do with him, I ......," Bai Liyuan wanted to say, she knew from which corner the old man came from. But because of the lack of memories of the original owner, especially the memory of the original owner when he first went up the mountain, she didn't dare to swear that she would never know this old man.

"You, really my master?"

"You girl, you really don't have rules." The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Li: "Forget it, for the sake of you cooking and eating for the master, I won't worry about you for the time being." By the way, do you want to know why your Huaxi Village has been in drought for many years and there is no grass? ”

"Drought is drought, where is why?" Bai Li tugged at his wet clothes.

"I know, I know." It was the same child who came over again: "Because God punished the people of Huaxi Village, so there was not a drop of rain in our village for three consecutive years." ”

"Punishment? Why? ”

"Because of the village chief." The child lowered his voice: "What my mother said, said that it was because the village chief had eaten people, so God wanted to punish him." And because he is the head of our Huaxi Village, he has to punish the people in our entire village. ”

"Your mother is not right, the drought in your village has nothing to do with your village chief." The old man stretched out his hand and flicked it on the child's head: "The reason why your Huaxi Village is drought is not because God is punishing you, but because there is a monster hidden in this mountain forest. ”

"What monster?" The child asked, wide-eyed.

"Drums." The old man said mysteriously, "This monster, it's called a drum." ”

"Drums?" Bai Li looked at the old man and rolled his eyes, and made a beating action by the way: "That drum was played?" ”

"You don't believe me, do you?" The old man rolled his eyes: "Tell you, I have investigated all directions, only your Huaxi Village has fallen into drought, and this drought is three years." If there is a drought for many years, there must be an evil cult causing chaos, and this evil is the drum. If it weren't for the aura in this mountain, this drum would be trapped in the mountain for the time being. You guys, maybe what's become. ”

"Are there really monsters in this forest?" The village chief sighed: "What can I do about this?" First, we don't know where this monster called the drum is hiding. Second, even if we knew, we wouldn't be able to defeat it, and we wouldn't be able to subdue it. ”

"You can't find it, and you can't take it." The old man touched his beard proudly: "You can't, I can." ”

"Old man, can you subdue this monster?" The village chief jumped out of the stream excitedly.

"Yes, yes, but why should I help you, little old man. You know, that drum is very fierce, there are no relatives and no reason, why should I help you villagers in Huaxi Village to take this risk. ”

"How can it be that you have no relatives and no reason, isn't your old man Bai Li's master?" The village chief laughed with him.

"Yes, yes, you are not Baili's master, you are a teacher for one day and a father for life. Bai Li's father, you have something to say. The other villagers also began to help.

Seeing this, Bai Li's father hurriedly pushed his wife. Bai Liniang looked up at Bai Li, waded through the stream to her, and said softly: "Li'er, hurry, call the master." ”

"What you just said is true?" Bai Li asked, the appearance of the monster he had seen before came to his mind: "You really know where that monster is, and there is a way to destroy it." ”

"Yes." The old man nodded in affirmation.

"Okay then, from now on you will be my Baili's master." Bai Li said reluctantly: "Don't dare to say anything else, I'll take care of cooking for you first." ”

"Just have your girl's words, which of you wants to fight monsters with me?" As he spoke, the old man jumped out of the stream and walked deep into the forest. Bai Li pursed her lips and followed closely behind the old man. Dong Li, as well as a few young men from the village, also followed.

The rest of the villagers, although they also wanted to watch the excitement with the past, but when they thought about the two words monster, they were a little afraid of death and took their feet back. The village chief of Huaxi Village was also among those who stayed behind, but for the sake of face, he still stood on tiptoe and said in his throat: "You go to fight monsters, we will collect this local vegetables, and then go back to the village and wait." That one...... When you come back from fighting the monsters, we'll make you food. ”

No one paid attention to the village chief's words, and they followed the old man through another forest to a cave. The cave seemed to be very deep, and when you looked at it from the outside, you could only see a dark patch inside. If you get closer, you will feel a chill rushing out from the depths of the cave, and there is a strange smell that cannot be explained.

"Is the drum hidden in this cave?"

"Yes, the monster is hiding in this cave." The old man bent down and glanced into the cave: "That guy is sleeping." ”

"Sleep? That's exactly what went in and it turned out to be. A villager shouted, "I really didn't expect to find the source of the drought in our village so smoothly." It doesn't matter what kind of drum it is, just kill it. ”

"You're quite a hero, or you can go in and kill and see." The old man glanced at the man, stretched out his hand and pointed into the cave: "Oh, go in from here, go straight to the head, and the thing you see is a drum." ”

"Just go, you don't dare to me." The villager said as he walked to the cave with his chest straightened, but as soon as he took two steps in, he fell back with his legs limp. "It's not that I don't dare to go, it's that I forgot to take the guy, I have two hands empty, and I can't kill the monster."

"I've got a machete." Dong Li took off the machete pinned to his waist and handed it over.
