Chapter 598: Cannibals on Yinming Mountain
"It's a pity that Tianhong has a problem with his sanity, if we take him to the wind again, I'm afraid it will aggravate the injury, and the three demons such as Mochen have been beaten back to their original form, and they can't fly with them at present, so we can only be fortunate in Yiyang."
It's okay.
I smiled at the two of them, gritted my teeth and picked up Tianhong, and the three of them found their way to climb the mountain again.
Fortunately, I have often exercised in college over the years, so the foundation of my body is still very thick, although I am not as amazing as Xue Yan and Xuanyuan Chang, but it is not a big problem to walk a few miles on my back.
After climbing the thorny mountain for a while, the three of them had come to the halfway point of the mountain, because the mountain was not particularly far from the town, so people often came to cut wood, and even some of the travelers who came from the curtain occasionally camped on the mountain, and after a long time, several trails were developed on the mountain, so that although I was carrying a person on my back, it was not difficult to walk.
Someone!
Xian'er suddenly lowered her voice alertly, and at the same time stretched out her hand and pointed to the forest in front of her, signaling us to silence.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were only a few wisps of sunset in the sky that were still struggling to fall, but the jungle was already a little dark, so although Xian'er reminded me that there was someone ahead, I raised my eyes and saw nothing.
"You two stay here first, and I'll go to the front to find out the situation and see who is still staying on the mountain so late."
Out of prudence, Xian'er gently put the luggage on the ground, and at the same time motioned with her eyes to us not to leave, and then bent and climbed alone into the forest ahead.
"Yiyang, are you afraid?" Snow Goose sat on the edge of the grass next to her and asked with interest.
I heard the words and looked around, only to see that the mountain at this time had completely fallen into the night, the sparse moonlight sprinkled from the trees into the forest, and occasionally the mountain birds flew over the trees overhead, startling a burst of insect chirping, and the quiet environment carried a few wisps of romance, but also a little crisis.
At that moment, he lowered his voice and replied softly: "I'm not afraid, it's just that this forest looks quite quiet, but there may be a crisis lurking in the jungle, so we must be careful." ”
After a while, there was already a sound of footsteps in the forest ahead, and occasionally there were a few conversations.
With curiosity, I stared at the forest ahead with the snow goose, looking forward to what kind of sacred person this person who appeared with the fairy would be.
About thirty seconds later, under the light of Xian'er's flashlight, a rural man about forty years old followed Xian'er out of the forest to the south.
"Xian'er, ...... is this uncle?"
"Oh, let me introduce you."
Xian'er's eyebrows fluttered and said: "This is Uncle Liu, he is an old hunter in the mountains, and the sound we heard just now is actually him hunting." ”
Then Xian'er pointed to me and Xue Yan, as well as Tianhong, who had fainted, and explained to the so-called Uncle Liu: "Uncle, these two are my good friends, the unconscious person on the ground is sick, we took him to Yangmingshan for treatment, but he got lost on the mountain, can you show us a way to Yangmingshan?" ”
"What, you want to go to Yangmingshan in the middle of the night?" The hunter named Uncle Liu asked with some horror.
From his tone, I seem to feel that there is something weird, could it be that there is something strange on this mountain?
At the moment, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle, our friend is not lightly ill, and we need to treat him as soon as possible, so we can't delay any longer, so we can only go up the mountain overnight, I don't know if there is any danger on this mountain?" ”
Orion glanced at the three of us with puzzled eyes, then fixed his gaze on Tianhong's body, and after a moment of silence, he reminded softly: "If you keep walking from this path, you will see a mountain cliff in about an hour, and after turning over the cliff, you can reach the boundary of Yangmingshan. ”
But......
"But what, if you have something to say, please say it directly!" Snow Goose calmly reminded.
The old man paused, and then said in a frightened and worried tone: "Although Yangmingshan is not far from our town, very few people have been to the mountain since ancient times, and I heard from my father's mouth that there is a race of cannibals living on that mountain, and there are devils who can devour everything!" ”
"Ah, really?"
Although I asked him if it was true or not, in fact, I had already decided in my heart that this was a story that fooled a three-year-old child, and what kind of cannibalistic race was all a lie, and it was not credible at all.
In my worldview, the only cannibals in the world should be the primitive tribes living in the Amazon Valley.
However, the old man replied unexpectedly: "There really is, there were people who were not afraid of death who went to Yangmingshan before, but basically they never returned." ”
"If I hadn't met you, I would have gone down the mountain by this time, this mountain is very dangerous after nightfall, not to mention that those cannibalistic races will come, even the wild dogs and wolves and poisonous snakes hidden in the mountain can tear the three of you who seem to be pampered to pieces!"
After saying that, Orion didn't talk to us anymore, but just packed up his luggage and the prey he had caught today, and quickly ran down the mountain, looking at the situation, he didn't want to stay for a minute.
After Orion left, the three of them pondered the truth of his words.
Therefore, if there is no wind, there must be a self.
I don't think he can be trusted, but it's not just a fabrication.
After being silent for a while, Xue Yan took the lead in asking, "What now, do you want to move on?" ”
Absolutely!
Xian'er replied without hesitation: "Time waits for no one, we have been delayed for three days from Chancheng to Qingshui Town, if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that even if Zhiren Zhima is found in the end, Tianhong may become dementia because of the damage to his sanity for too long, and he will regret it at that time." ”
Well.
I nodded in agreement and said, "Xian'er is right, let's get to Yangmingshan as soon as possible, and then set up a tent on the spot for the night." ”
"As for the cannibal races that Orion is talking about, and the wild dogs and wolves that will tear us apart, I don't think we can be trusted, but we should be vigilant."
Since Xian'er and I both nodded yes, then Snow Goose naturally wouldn't say anything more.
What's more, she has never been a timid and afraid person, thinking that she once lived alone in a mass grave in Xiangxi, with ghosts and wild dogs as companions all year round, and she has never seen her afraid, just sitting on a small barren mountain in front of her, she naturally will not take it to heart.
