Chapter Seventy-Seven: Mantou Mountain

Although Mantou Mountain is not far from Chenjia Village, the mountain is continuous and wide, and it is not easy for the three of us to find the Huang family's nest in the mountains and forests of Nuoda.

In addition, it was already early now, so naturally there was no delay, so I immediately interrupted the bickering between Ning Nanxi and Li Hai, and took them to the direction of Mantou Mountain.

After leaving the village, all the way to the south, you can see the Mantou Mountain 100 meters away, this mountain is hundreds of meters high.

The mountains are lush and green, and the vegetation covers the entire mountain, and it is almost impossible to see where the rocks are.

Since I was a child, I have heard the older generation in the village say that Mantou Mountain is the forbidden mountain of Chenjia Village, although the mountain is rich in products, in addition to the beasts in the forest, there are some precious plants and medicinal materials, but the people of Chenjia Village rarely dare to go to Mantou Mountain, and the reason for this has to start from more than 40 years ago.

According to the old people in the village, more than 40 years ago, a family with a surname surnamed Wai came to Chenjia Village, and they came here from other provinces to avoid debt collection.

The head of the household is named Guo Jianguo, who was in his forties when he came, and he also has two sons, one of whom is in his early twenties named Guo Tianxiao, and the other is eighteen or nineteen years old named Guo Zhenxing.

After the father and son came to the village, they asked the village chief for a piece of land to build a house to live in, but at that time, the stones near the village had been lightened, and there were no extra stones to build a house.

The village chief thought that it would not take many stones to build a house, so he agreed, and then Guo Jianguo, father and son, entered Mantou Mountain with tools.

Since the Guo family is a small family in our village, no one notices them at all, so the villagers don't pay attention to it.

After about three to five days, the villagers realized that something was wrong and found the village chief and said that Guo Jianguo's father and son had been in the mountain for several days, but they had never come out.

It stands to reason that Mantou Mountain is not far from Chenjia Village, how can it be possible to stay in the mountain for so long.

After hearing the news, the village chief secretly pondered and felt that Guo Jianguo's father and son might have a problem.

At that time, the system was not perfect, and the level of social development was relatively backward, so many people would choose to make a fortune, and tomb robbing was one of them.

The village chief suspected that Guo Jianguo and the three of them did not come to Chenjia Village to settle down at all, and it was very likely that they entered Mantou Mountain to find ancient tombs.

The reason why they claim to go into the mountains to quarry is to hide people's eyes, but in fact, it is logical to go into the mountains to search for treasure.

At that time, although the level of education was generally low, but people's ideological consciousness was very high, the village chief knew that tomb robbery was a crime and a crime, so he summoned the villagers to plan to go into the mountains to find Guo Jianguo and the three of them, and if they found that the other party was really a tomb robber, they would be arrested and handed over to the police station for processing.

At that time, there was no wave of entering the city, so there were many young and strong laborers in the village, and the village chief gathered twenty or thirty young men and walked towards Mantou Mountain.

Just when everyone came to the foot of Mantou Mountain and was just about to go up the mountain, suddenly a villager in the crowd found that there seemed to be a person lying on the ground not far away, and he informed the village chief of the matter, and the village chief immediately took someone to check, and when he came to the person, he took a closer look, and it was Guo Jianguo who fell to the ground.

At this time, Guo Jianguo no longer had a good place on his body, he was covered in blood, his clothes were torn out dozens of cuts, his skin was scarred, his face was covered with mud, and his unkempt appearance looked even more miserable than a beggar.

When the village chief saw that it was Guo Jianguo, he immediately sent someone to help him up, and then fed him some water, and after about ten minutes, Guo Jianguo slowly opened his eyes, but when he saw the village chief and others, his face did not show a happy look, but showed a panicked look, his eyes couldn't help dodging, his body was constantly trembling, and he kept shouting the word monster in his mouth.

Seeing that Guo Jianguo had woken up, the village chief hurriedly asked Guo Tianxiao and Guo Zhenxing where they were, Guo Jianguo was like crazy after hearing this, and kept shouting that they were dead, and he also took out a severed palm and a human ear from his arms.

After seeing the stump in Guo Jianguo's hand, the village chief knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly sent the villagers to carry Guo Jianguo back to the village, intending to ask him clearly after he was raised, but what the village chief didn't expect was that Guo Jianguo was like crazy after returning to the village, and kept yelling, saying that they were attacked by monsters, and his two sons were killed and cooked on the fire by monsters.

The village chief couldn't believe Guo Jianguo's words, but he also muttered in his heart, he has lived in our village for decades, and he has never seen a large beast in the mountains near our village, and other villagers have not seen it, in this case, how did Guo Tianxiao and Guo Zhenxing die, could it be that they really met a man-eating monster?

Although the village chief was puzzled, it was not good to continue to ask when he saw Guo Jianguo's appearance, so he had to let him rest first, and planned to wait until he was conscious before asking carefully.

However, Guo Jianguo did not give the village chief a chance, and he hanged himself with hemp rope that night, and when he found out, he was already stiff.

His dark red tongue came out of his mouth, his eyes were as wide as bells, and the white walls of the room were covered in blood and the word monster.

Although I don't know what happened, this incident caused a stir in Chenjia Village.

The villagers were so panicked that they didn't dare to go out during the day, and they closed their doors as soon as the sun set.

In the end, the village chief had no choice but to promulgate village rules, no one was allowed to go closer to Mantou Mountain, let alone go up the mountain to pick medicinal herbs or hunt, and once found, he would be severely punished.

Therefore, for decades, almost no one went to Mantou Mountain, and Mantou Mountain has become a forbidden place in the mouths of the villagers of Chenjia Village.

When I was young, I was haunted by this unsolved mystery for a long time, and I dreamed of wanting to know what happened to Guo Jianguo's father and son in Mantou Mountain, and what monsters they encountered.

Now that I think about it, it is very likely that what they met is the yellow skin that has become a fine man, and it must have inadvertently provoked the yellow skin, so they will be retaliated against.

The three of us have come to the foot of Mantou Mountain, and when we look up, because no one has been here for decades, there is no road on Mantou Mountain at all, and all the places up the mountain are covered with vegetation, and it seems that if we want to go up the mountain, we must first open up a new road.

"There's no way into the mountains here, so we can't walk through this dense forest, right?" Li Hai looked at the dense woods in front of him and said helplessly.

"No one has come to this mountain for decades, so the trees on the mountain have not been pruned, and the road into the mountain will naturally be covered after a long time, but don't worry too much, there are only three of us, as long as we open up a narrow road into the mountain, there should be no problem." As I spoke, I stepped forward to remove the blocking trees.

"Don't be in a hurry to enter the mountain first, we have already discussed it when we came, Mantou Mountain is very likely to hide the Huang family's nest, you and Li Hai must be covered with goose dung on our bodies, now we have come to Mantou Mountain, and we don't know where the Huang family's disciples are hiding, so we must prepare in advance." Ning Nanxi looked at me and Li Hai said.

As soon as these words came out, Li Hai and I both looked at Ning Nanxi, and their faces showed embarrassment.

"Putting goose droppings on your body now? We're just at the foot of Mantou Mountain now, so we shouldn't meet the disciples of the Huang family, right? Li Hai looked at Ning Nanxi and asked.

Ning Nanxi glanced at Li Hai with a blank look, and categorically rejected his words, saying that we have now reached the Mantou Mountain Realm, and the disciples of the Huang family may appear at some point.

If you do meet them, you won't have time to rub goose droppings on your body at that time, so you must prepare in advance so that you can avoid being in a passive state when you meet.

Although there is resistance to the matter of wiping the body with goose dung, Ning Nanxi has been promised this matter before, and this is a life-saving move, what is it compared to his life to make his body full of stench.

Then I looked at Li Hai and said: "Lao Li, Miss Ning is also thinking about us, do the two of us have other skills, if we really meet the disciples of the Huang family, wouldn't we have to wait for death, since this goose dung can save your life, then don't rub it in, or I'll give you a sample first." ”

Although I said it proudly, when I actually walked to the barrel, I still refused in every way.

In particular, the smell of goose droppings made my stomach churn, but because Ning Nanxi and Li Hai were watching from the sidelines, I couldn't flinch from the battle.

Holding his breath, he picked up the iron spoon in the barrel and scooped a spoonful of goose droppings, closed his eyes and poured the goose droppings on his head.

For a moment, something sticky landed on top of his head, then slid down his scalp.

While I could still hold my breath, I poured seven or eight spoonfuls of goose droppings on the top of my head, until my upper body was almost covered with goose droppings, and then I began to apply it with both hands.

After about a minute, I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I could only start gasping for breath, but the moment I resumed breathing, the foul smell rushed directly into my nastrils, down my nose to the top of my head, and for a while I felt my stomach tumble and my mouth began to retch.

"Hurry up and spit out before you go up the mountain, and then go into the mountain to look for wild fruits to eat after you get used to the smell on your body, if you keep enduring it, maybe you won't be able to bear it at some point, and the sound of vomiting is likely to disturb the mountain spirits." Ning Nanxi looked at me and said.

Hearing this, I hurriedly ran to the side of the tree, and held on to the branch and vomited, fortunately I didn't eat at noon, but even so, the morning meal was still vomited by me.

After vomiting, I felt a lot more comfortable in my stomach, and the original pungent and foul smell felt much lighter, and it seemed that I had begun to get used to the taste.

After smearing the goose dung all over my body, I turned my head to look at Li Hai and said, "Lao Li, I have already finished giving you a sample, now it's your turn." ”

Li Hai glanced at me with disgust, covered his mouth and nose and said: "I never dreamed that I would be able to have close contact with goose droppings in this life, Chen Mo, this time my buddy took this risk, but it was all for you, don't forget to invite me to dinner when you go back to the city." ”

Hearing this, I was speechless for a while, in this disgusting environment, Li Hai can still think about eating, there is indeed a set.

I smiled at Li Hai and said, "No problem, when we go back to the city, buddy will invite you to eat stewed goose in an iron pot!" ”
