As the sun sets and night falls, a group of people and a large black mastiff dog are walking along a mountain road overgrown with wild trees and weeds.

Last time I mentioned Cuiyun, a girl from Zhang Orion's family in Cishan Village. After finding Chen Xiaofeng from Lao Zhen's family, she described that her father and uncle had no food at home. The father, who was originally from Orion, took his brother to go there.

Hunting deep into the mountains, hoping to catch some wild animals such as hares and roe deer, which can be used as food rations.

But now that the New Year is approaching, Cuiyun's father and uncle went to the mountains, but there was still no news for three days. Cuiyun then went to find Lao Zhenren to come out to save people, because Cuiyun's father and uncle were probably chasing wild animals and entered the mountain.

Went into the large swamp forest deep around the mountain.

This place used to be an ancient battlefield, where many people died, and there is a bottomless swamp deep in the forest. If you fall into it, even if you are a great god, you will not be able to escape.

Ordinary villagers would not dare to enter this gloomy place. They are not afraid of the swamp beasts in the forest. They are even more afraid of the mountain monsters and ghosts among the sparkling willows. Therefore, it is inevitable to find the Taoist leader for such things.

The old man came forward.

However, the old man happened to go up the mountain to collect precious herbs this time, and he would not be able to come back for ten days and a half.

Chen Xiaofeng then asked the village chief, Uncle Li, to borrow five strong militiamen, including militia captain Ma Dazhuang, as well as a large mastiff named Heizi from the village chief's family.

Although Chen Xiaofeng himself knew that with his half-hearted skills, he could still cope with monsters, but if he really met someone with higher moral standards, it would be a bit suspenseful. Fortunately, there are so many people, and there are so many people.

Having such a big hound around makes him more courageous.

It means that the bright sun has set like this, and the entire surrounding mountains are gradually shrouded in darkness. The primitive jungle that still looks so refreshing during the day is now adding a bit of eerie color to the darkness.

The surrounding towering ancient trees look so weird, like tree demons baring their teeth and claws, which makes people's scalp feel numb. What's more, there are several howling wolves and ghost sounds coming from the mountains from time to time.

Everyone had goosebumps all over the place.

Although Cuiyun is a girl who grew up in the mountains, going into the mountains at night is nothing new. At most, she can just walk around the cemetery at the end of the village a few times, competing with those playful wild girls to see who is bolder, and then leave the village.

It was the first time I had walked through the surrounding mountains.

Cuiyun was attracted by the gloomy nature of the primeval jungle at night and kept pressing against Chen Xiaofeng, making Chen Xiaofeng extremely embarrassed in front of all the militia brothers.

However, Cuiyun can be regarded as one of the most iconic girls in the village. Although she is not as good as the girls in the city who wear heavy makeup, she still has the appearance of a classical beauty. Therefore, Chen Xiaofeng, the most handsome boy in the village, also

I felt blushing, my heart was racing, and I felt uncomfortable all over for a moment.

Everyone had been walking in the primitive jungle for a while, and the sky was getting darker and darker. In addition, the black clouds above their heads had been covering this generation for more than half a year, and there were no moon or stars at all.

At this time, the militia captain Ma Dazhuang proposed to camp on the spot and wait until dawn tomorrow to start looking for people. Otherwise, everyone had already left the village far away and entered the primitive jungle area where wild beasts often haunt. If they were to encounter some blind bear in the dark,

, ferocious beasts such as jackals may not survive even if they have a shotgun in hand.

Because the eyesight of animals is much stronger than that of humans in this dark jungle, if you are in the dark and others are in the dark, a surprise attack will take you a few lives even if the whole army is not wiped out. So everyone made up their minds and went to find

A bonfire was lit in a place where the weeds were relatively shallow.

Before leaving the village, the old village chief brought some dry food, mushrooms and other food from home to Chen Xiaofeng and others. In this year of severe drought, the village chief's family still had some inventory.

Everyone put the mushrooms in an iron basin and sprinkled some wild vegetables, wild onions and other ingredients. There was no salt or other seasonings. However, the wild mushrooms picked in the mountains were really fresh when paired with the wild onions.

Incomparable, the fragrance can probably be smelled from more than ten miles away.

Everyone then roasted the dry food they had brought over the fire, and it tasted different. Then Ma Dazhuang took a cornmeal bun and threw it to Heizi. There had been a drought for many years, so what kind of meat could he give him to eat?

However, Heizi didn't seem to open his eyes to look at the dry food at all. He let out a "hum" and ran away. The angry Ma Dazhuang yelled: "You bastard, I gave you food that is not enough for everyone, why don't you give me back?"

I've made it a point to eat it whether you like it or not, you stupid dog will starve to death."

Chen Xiaofeng said: "Okay, Brother Ma, I don't care about your multi-grain steamed buns. Hurry up and pick them up and let's keep them."

Ma Dazhuang picked up the cornmeal steamed buns angrily, sat back on the fire and munched on the steamed buns with mushroom soup. After everyone had finished eating, and still feeling a little unsatisfied, he suddenly heard a burst of sound in the weeds not far away.

The noise made Cuiyun frightened and jumped into Chen Xiaofeng's arms with an "ouch!" At this time, Ma Dazhuang and other militiamen quickly raised their shotguns and stared nervously at the swaying weeds.

Chen Xiaofeng comforted Cuiyun and pulled out the mahogany sword from behind. Although this mahogany sword cannot be compared to those sharp steel blades, when used in the hands of Taoist descendants, it can also chop thorns and vines, comparable to steel. It is said that it has been blessed by Taoist saints.

The mahogany sword that has been made is stronger and sharper than the steel knife forged from fine steel, but we will not mention whether this is the case for now.

Chen Xiaofeng slowly walked to the weeds with his mahogany sword. Although he himself felt a little cautious, there were five shotguns behind him to protect him. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

I saw Chen Xiaofeng holding a mahogany sword with one arm, ready to poke at the grass to see what was inside. At this moment, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the grass. It looked like the head was full.

It's four to five feet long, so even if it's not a blind bear, it's probably like a jackal, tiger, or leopard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xiaofeng moved his luck to Dantian and stabbed out with his sword. Just when the sword edge was about to hit the unknown black shadow, Chen Xiaofeng finally saw the true face of the thing that was coming towards him. He quickly took back the peach wood sword and pointed behind him.

Ma Dazhuang and others shouted: "Everyone, please don't shoot, they are not wild beasts, they are fucking sunspots!!!"

Ma Dazhuang and other militiamen were already concerned. When they heard Chen Xiaofeng's shout, they were almost frightened and fired their shotguns. They saw the big mastiff Heizi coming out of the grass with two dead hares in his mouth, shaking his head and tail.

Chen Xiaofeng showed his goodwill in a coquettish way. Although this black guy brought game meat to these people who had no stomach for oil, he really shocked everyone.

Only Cuiyun walked over and took the hare from Heizi's mouth. She used her hands sparingly for a while, causing Heizi, the big dog, to crawl straight into her arms.

Afterwards, Cuiyun eviscerated and skinned the two dead hares. One of them was thrown directly to Heizi as a reward for bringing game to everyone. The other one was roasted directly on the fire.

Get up! Cuiyun took out the remaining mushrooms and stuffed them into the hare's cavity. After a while, the scent of the hare, accompanied by the mellow aroma of the mushrooms, spread to all directions, making Chen Xiaofeng and the militiamen salivate.

To say that this girl from the mountains is pretty good, whether it’s housekeeping or housework, or being able to go to the mountains and rivers, is not a quality that those pampered young ladies in the city can possess.

After everyone had a delicious meal of grilled rabbit with mushrooms, leaving the big mastiff Heizi to keep watch around, the others made a straw nest with weeds and lay down on it to sleep.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but Chen Xiaofeng suddenly heard the urgent cry of the big black mastiff and hurriedly woke up Ma Dazhuang and several other militiamen. He saw Heizi rushing towards the shadows behind some towering ancient trees not far away.

Ma Dazhuang and Chen Xiaofeng kept shouting, "It's probably because our roasted rabbit was so fragrant that it attracted the blind bear in the woods. But there are so many of us, and we're not afraid of what the blind bear can do if we blast it with several shotguns."

What a big fuss."

Then a militiaman was left on the spot holding a shotgun to protect Cuiyun. The rest of the people, together with Chen Xiaofeng, held up their weapons and slowly marched towards the place where the black blind man was roaring. They planned to shoot the black blind man as soon as he showed his head and beat him into a sieve.

.

However, among all the people, only Chen Xiaofeng noticed Heizi's abnormality. According to common sense, although this kind of large mastiff dog with a strong body would not necessarily gain any advantage if it were to bite Heizi one-on-one, but

He is not so afraid of the bears in the mountains.

I saw that although the big mastiff Heizi kept barking at the shadow of those ancient trees, his whole body was trembling, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and even his bark seemed so confident.

Insufficient, obviously there is a hint of fear.

After Chen Xiaofeng noticed the unusual behavior of the big mastiff, he stopped Ma Dazhuang and several other militiamen, and said: "Brother Ma, everyone stop for a moment. I think something is fishy. Look at that black man trembling with fear. If he sees

Ordinary ferocious beasts and the like will never be able to frighten a big hound that stands taller than a person like this. You guys are here with your guns raised to cover me. Brother, go ahead and take a look!"

When the militia captain Ma Dazhuang heard this, he hurriedly stopped the three militiamen. Because everyone in the village knew that although Chen Xiaofeng from Lao Zhen's family did not have the profound Taoism of Lao Zhen, he had learned a lot from Lao Zhen since he was a child.

Taoist magic.

Seeing that he was acting so cautiously, he was afraid that the thing in the woods not far away might be some kind of mountain beast or wolf, or it might be some kind of mountain spirit.

Even though the militiamen were not afraid of wild beasts, they still had a strong sense of fear when encountering these evil things. So Ma Dazhuang and several militiamen squatted down on the spot, loaded the shotguns and blunderbuss with ammunition, and waited.

Whenever there was any movement on Chen Xiaofeng's side, they opened fire together.

Chen Xiaofeng was alone, holding a peach wood sword inlaid with a dragon, and walked step by step into the darkness of the towering ancient trees. However, at least ten or twenty minutes had passed, but no movement was seen from Chen Xiaofeng inside.

Ma Dazhuang and other militiamen who were squatting outside had their legs numb from squatting, so they had to stand up and listen to the captain: "Brothers, isn't Chen Xiaofeng from this old man's family encountering something difficult to deal with?"

I went into a deep tree and didn't come out for a long time. Didn't I fold it inside?"

When everyone heard what the captain said, they all broke out in a cold sweat. They all thought that Chen Xiaofeng was probably in danger. Although these big-bodied militiamen were not afraid of jackals, tigers, and leopards, if they encountered those in the woods,

There is no way to deal with unclean things. After all, all the lads from Lao Zhen’s family have gone and never come back. We’d better take Cuiyun and escape quickly. Where can these people still be alive when that thing shows up?

.

Although the matter is like this, the militia captain Ma Dazhuang has been a hot-blooded man since he was born. How could he abandon his brothers and run away on his own?

Although he was also afraid of the evil things in the woods, he still had the courage to scold his militiamen: "You are such bastards. A kid as young as Chen Xiaofeng is braver than us. He dares to go out alone at night."

Yin Linzi, why are you old men who eat three meals a day so stubborn? If something happens to Brother Chen, how can we go back and explain to the old village chief and the old master?"

"Everyone in the village, if someone encounters an evildoer or something, it's not the old master who has exposed it for you. Are we worthy of them just leaving like this? Originally, our ancestors demolished other people's Taoist temples, which was immoral enough.

Lao Zhen’s family has such a precious baby. If he dies in the mountains like this, we will probably be in debt to him for the rest of our lives. Please cheer up, and I and I will go in and find Brother Chen.”

Although the three militiamen were scared, they immediately felt guilty after being scolded by the captain. They had no choice but to hold up their shotguns and walk with the captain into the forest. At this time, they were waiting by the campfire.

Cuiyun and the militiamen saw that Chen Xiaofeng and his entourage had not come back for so long, so they took the big mastiff dog Heizi and searched for them.

Ma Dazhuang did not let Cuiyun follow them at first, because according to Feng Shui, women belong to yin. If he followed this group of big men, he would destroy the masculinity of these people and make it easier for them to get involved with evil things. However,

It was indeed unsafe to leave a little girl there by herself. So in the end, Cuiyun was asked to follow Heizi behind the group so that they could take care of each other if something happened.

Just when everyone was about to reach the entrance of the dark forest, they suddenly heard a commotion in the dark forest. They were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. They quickly stopped and raised their shotguns to observe the movement in the forest.

.

I saw the commotion in the dark forest getting louder and louder, and the hurried footsteps getting closer and closer.

Ma Dazhuang hurriedly called the militiamen behind him to get ready, and even the big mastiff dog Heizi began to bark wildly into the woods. Ma Dazhuang's heart almost jumped out of his throat at this time, for fear that what ran out of the woods was not Chen Xiaofeng but someone else.

Evil stuff. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Ma Dazhuang suddenly roared: "Brothers, shoot and fuck!!!"

As soon as the militiamen heard the captain's order, they raised their shotguns and were about to open fire. At this moment, they saw a figure running out of the dark woods. As he ran, he shouted: "Don't shoot, it's me, hurry up."

Damn it, run away, I can’t stand it!!!”

The primitive jungle in the dark night is full of dangers. When everyone heard Chen Xiaofeng's voice, they didn't know why this kid could run so fast. They thought he had encountered some kind of monster?
