Later, when it was almost dawn, I couldn't stay up anymore, so I fell asleep on the table in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the fourth child sitting across the table, holding my plan to kill people for a night, and glaring at me angrily.

"You kid can, you're good at it!"

"Fourth, this is a misunderstanding, you listen to my explanation......"

Before I could say anything, the fourth child slapped me first, and I was still buzzing in my head when everyone set off in a team.

At half past seven in the morning, Huang Cripple drove us to the foot of the north slope of the mountain, and began to hike up the mountain, this time the watermelon girl changed into an all-black running suit in advance, so that the speed of travel was a lot faster, but the concave and convex body shaping dress was even more provocative, especially the blue light Zhao, as soon as he went up the mountain, his eyes began to glow green, like a hungry wolf ready to ambush his prey.

At half past eleven o'clock at noon, we successfully arrived at the edge of the old dragon forest after a long journey, this is the first time in my life to enter the mountain, but I am no stranger to this place, only because the old dragon forest surrounds the north slope, it is the only way to dig ginseng from the north slope into the mountain, and most of the people who dig ginseng do not dare to venture into the hinterland of Changbai, so they hover in the old dragon forest to dig ginseng, casually dig some one-year-old three-flower, two-year-old horseshoe, and hurry to the bottom of the mountain to participate in the sale, but there is also luck, accidentally found a point of age of four-grade leaves and five-grade leaves, can blow for several years, So much so that in recent years, seventy or eighty percent of the wild ginseng sold in our industry came from Laolonglin, so this place is also nicknamed 'loading point' by us.

Laolonglin also has another name, called rope sleeve, which is related to a long history of the previous dynasty. A hundred years ago, the Qing Dynasty government issued a ban on retreat, prohibiting the Han people in the Guannei from entering the Changbai Mountain Realm, which is known as the "Land of Longxing", so as not to destroy the root of the dragon vein of the legendary Qing Dynasty, but there are still poor people who want to sneak out of the customs in order to make a living and risk killing their heads.

Of course, the imperial court will not ignore it, so it will send eight banners of heavy troops to patrol the mountains, and anyone who encounters mountain thieves will be killed.

Among them, there is a general of the Eight Banners stationed on the northern slope, who is quite notorious in the area of Changbai Mountain, named Su Hetai. At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty was shaky and unstable, and many people in the customs took the opportunity to pour into the outside of the customs like a tide, which was known as 'breaking through the eastern part of the country'. Among these people, the vast majority of them came to Changbai Mountain ginseng, so many of them fell into the hands of Su Hetai when they later broke into the northern slope.

Su Hetai is vicious, all the captured ginseng diggers, regardless of men, women and children, are hanged in the old dragon forest, the corpses are hung on the trees, in order to warn others, over time, the old dragon forest is hung everywhere corpses, listen to the old man said, at that time, not to mention the tiger wolf in the mountain forest, even the eyes of the mountain roe deer and the wild deer are red and red, because the dead eat too much flesh.

After the corpse was eaten by wild beasts, only rope nooses hung down from the branches of the trees scattered all over the mountain, hence the name.

After some rest, we entered the old dragon forest, and listened to the advice of the sixth master, added a thick coat to the body, used two sanitary napkins in the shoes as insoles, and wrapped the arms, legs and neck with the plastic wrap brought by the sixth master, and then smeared the mud under the roots of the old dragon forest.

Although they all did so, but the sixth master's words, at first watermelon sister, the fourth of us inexperienced young people are not believed, but after entering the old dragon forest, we found that we can't help but not believe it, the old dragon forest is like a big freezer with an open door, we are tired and sweaty when we go up the mountain, but once we enter the forest, I can't wait to wrap the down jacket directly, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants are innumerable, and if you are not guarded, you will drill into people, even mosquitoes are as big as your fingers, and you are so scared that the watermelon girl almost cried several times.

Later, when we finally passed through the old dragon forest, it was already the night after night, and I thought to myself, sure enough, everything was in Lan Lan Zhao's calculations.

Seeing that there was already a gloomy cliff in front of him, the sixth master of the sheepskin who led the team stopped and said to the watermelon girl: "Miss Wang, Hukou Ridge is steep and not suitable for night walking, I recently heard that there is a blind bear, I think we will spend the night here tonight, and we will leave at dawn." ”

The watermelon girl was already exhausted, and when she heard that she wanted to rest, she quickly nodded, so the sixth master of sheepskin began to skillfully command others to cut the dry grass and tie up the branches, and first set up three simple shacks in the open space, the watermelon girl and the fourth child slept one, the yellow lame man and the sixth master of the sheepskin slept one, and the little brother surnamed Bai and the blue light Zhao slept one.

Later, the sixth master asked me to dig a one-foot-deep ditch around the three shacks with a quick shovel, and poured the sulfur, lime powder and cinnabar I brought with me into it before we dared to rest.

This night, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to close my eyes, not only worried that the sixth master of sheepskin and Lan Lantern Zhao would harm the watermelon girl, but also afraid that the little brother surnamed Bai would suddenly pull out a knife that would be unfavorable to us, no matter which of them succeeded, the blood ginseng that could save my life could not be saved. I can't wait to take out an axe and chop up this scourge first, but when I think about it, Lan Lantern Zhao and the people's little brother are sleeping on my left and right, which of these two can I beat?

Later, I have survived four o'clock in the morning, everything is peaceful, nothing happened, I gradually relaxed my guard, and the fatigue of walking all day on the mountain road also hit instantly, my eyelids began to sink, and I gradually lost consciousness, but in this gap that seems to be sleeping, I vaguely heard a brisk running sound gradually drifting away, my heart said bad, and quickly barely opened my eyes to look to the side, sure enough, the blue light Zhao and the little brother surnamed Bai who were sleeping on both sides of me have disappeared without a trace.

For a while, I didn't know where I got the courage, and I wanted to run out to save people when I stood up, but only then did I find that I was soft and sore, and my brain was also dizzy, as if I had been drugged.

I hurriedly moved my hand to my abdomen with great difficulty, felt the blade of the axe inserted in my waist and pressed it into the flesh fiercely, the pain of the axe blade piercing the flesh made me instantly sober, and I quickly struggled to get up, ran out of the shack to see, as expected, the yellow cripple and the fourth child were still sleeping in their respective shacks, and the sixth master of sheepskin and the watermelon girl were gone.

"Damn, these two scum thieves are so fat!"

I scolded, the first one wanted to wake up the fourth child first, after all, we know each other best, and I have many helpers with her.

I didn't know that before I reached out to pat her, there was a hurried voice from the yellow cripple next to me-

"Shousheng cub! Shousheng cub! Come here! ”

I was stunned, and when I looked back, I saw the yellow cripple quickly coming out of the shack.

"Boss, something happened!"

I hurriedly ran over to help him, but when I got closer, the yellow cripple twitched over as soon as he got in the mouth.
