After going back, at the dinner table, Yue Erpao was rarely listless and had no appetite, and his sick appearance frightened Jin Qinghua to quickly touch his head: "Isn't it a fever, why is your face ugly." ”

"Jin Xianxian, it's okay, the second cannon wants to lose weight, and he will eat it when he is hungry."

These words made Yue Erpao cast a resentful look.

Waiting for the next morning, the old Taoist priest had already asked Lan Ruling to take them into the mountain, in view of the boat people and their couple's flow boat was too big, everyone carried their bags and rented a small boat to go to the denser river, and when they crossed countless villages and could no longer see people, Baixian Gou had already arrived.

Look carefully, there are four or five wild mountains around Baixian Valley, strange rocks are craggy, verdant and dense, karst caves are all over, flowers are full of wilds, it is like giant animals sitting together, forming a semi-circular river beach, the river bank with interlaced teeth connects the wild mountains, as if a hedgehog lying in the valley with a round ball.

Half of the river beach and half of the waterhole, the sky is blue into the water, and the mist fills the mountainside,

On the highest mountainside, a row of plank paths like ladders can be seen spreading from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountainside, and the thatched roof exposes the hole, hanging like a fist on the mountainside.

"That small hole is my meditation place, if I usually want to consult the Taoist scriptures, I will come here to meditate, no one will disturb me, it is very quiet, wait a while, we will go into the cave and wait, calculate, if the hedgehog is still here, it is time to give the cubs, and they should run out to prepare the food that the cubs want to eat."

"Most hedgehogs are photophobic and only move at night, so we may not be able to move for a day, and we have to be patient."

After speaking, the old Taoist priest led everyone up to the plank road and walked into the thatched house where he cultivated, which was originally a half-hole, and he bound it tightly with a wooden board, forming a thatched cave house, and the roof was covered by stone flakes and weeds and only exposed the eaves, which was hidden and safe.

Yue Guanchao looked at the thatched cave house, about the size of two or three private houses, with a carved stone bed and stone stove, and a stone bench and stone table, and there was nothing else.

"Old Taoist, you really suffered, you didn't even lay a straw mat?"

There is only a stone-carved pillow on the stone bed, and there is nothing else, Yue Guanchao looked at the old Taoist, and was a little curious about him in his eyes, you have to say that he has no desires and no desires, this old Taoist priest always likes to eat something good, but when it comes to cultivation, it has become extremely difficult, which really makes him not understand.

"Then why can't I stand the suffering, I can stand the wind and food, and I can have a stone house and a stone bed, which is very satisfying for me."

"If you meet those mandrills, you won't be here too, will you?"

Yue Guanchao remembered that the old Taoist priest did mention the matter of the thatched house when he was young.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and retorted: "That's not it, that mountain is still going southwest, I just went there to pick herbs, and then I strayed into the territory of the mandrill, and the mandrill in this place dare not come!" ”

"Why?"

"Could it be that the White Immortal is also a mandrill!"

"That's right, the white hedgehog is a disciple of the White Immortal, and ordinary apes, mandrills, and beasts don't dare to provoke."

After speaking, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes and meditated, no longer talking to these young people, and quieted down for a moment, and there began to be a flurry of movement around him, and they kept watch for a day, and finally heard the chirping after dusk, and the old Taoist priest instantly opened his eyes when he heard this voice: "The hedgehog is coming." ”

Yue Guanchao put away his carelessness, picked up the telescope and opened a small opening near the doorway, stretched out the telescope and peeked down.

Tonight the moon stars are scarce, the sky is fine, the moonlight is thrown into the pool, the streamer is like broken glass, the nearby mountains and bays are bright, even if there is no oil lamp, you can see the flowers and shrubs underground, the surrounding crickets and insects are noisy, in this night restlessness, some grass on the edge of the waterhole suddenly swayed and moved.

With such a great force, at least the wild cats and wild dogs were moving in it, Yue Guanchao instantly became nervous, staring at the movement of the grass, and calmed down.

In the blink of an eye, the grass parted into the ridge, and a white hedgehog ran out of it.

This hedgehog, just by its size, can be regarded as psychic!

Ordinary hedgehogs are half the size of an arm, but the hedgehog in front of them is bigger than a domestic cat, with a round body, yellow and white prickly hairs on the waist and back, red eyes like jewels, a red and round nose that is exposed, and white belly and white hair, which is really different.

The belly of this white hedgehog is bulging, and at first glance, it looks like it has cubs, and it is very difficult to walk up and down, and something is trembling and trembling.

"Since you're going to give birth, what are you going to do when you run out, isn't it safer to lay cubs in the shack!"

Yue Guanchao felt that when most domestic animals give birth to cubs, they will generally return to the familiar shack circle, but the white hedgehog is completely different.

"Hedgehogs love to be clean, usually lick their hair, white hedgehogs are even more cherished fur, it is afraid of laying cubs in the nest, dirty their nests, simply go to the river to lay cubs, then directly wash by the river and then go back."

Before the two of them finished speaking, the hedgehog had already begun to collect the deciduous dead grass and fine wool vines nearby, and the little paws were digging small holes in the ground, and the fallen leaves became a temporary nest.

Then, the hedgehog nested into the nest, the thorns on his body continued to explode, raised his neck and chirped, and there was another noise in the grass, and a gray hedgehog also appeared around.

The hedgehog was larger, the size of a house dog, its eyes were black, like black buttons inlaid on gray fur, its paws were black and shiny, it looked majestic, and its eyes were shiny and shiny, and it was constantly circling around the white hedgehog, and its eyes were vigilant and made a very strange purr.

"What a taste, this is!"

When Yue Guanchao was observing carefully, a smell entered his nose, and he looked at his companions around him, who also smelled it, and looked at each other without knowing what to mean.

"This is the breath emitted by the hedgehog, which can expel the poisonous insects of the beast within a radius of several miles, as long as the beast smells this smell, it is easy not to dare to show up, the closer it gets, the more dizzy and numb it becomes, this smell will disappear after the cubs, you just bear with it."

The old Taoist priest can bear it, Yue Guanchao can't leave at the opening, this breath can't hide if he wants to, he can only be forced to inhale, it smells as if the old musk and rotten wood are burning together, and when it reaches the throat, it becomes a bloody and spicy smell, which makes people retch.

"It's delicious."

"It smells good enough to drive out wild beasts, but this smell has pros and cons, and it is likely to attract beasts that are not afraid of them."

The old Taoist priest paused, and his tone became solemn: "For example, a fake wolf dog!" ”

False wolf dog, also called badger eight dogs, is a kind of wild beast badger in the countryside, there are wolverine, pig badger, dog badger, honey badger, and weasel badger, among them, rural areas are mostly wolverine, pig badger, dog badger.

Some people died, but not completely......
