Jiulongyan has nine twists and turns. Zhou Qishan and the two old men crossed the mountain road and entered a dense forest.
The situation here is similar to that of other mountain peaks. One foot is deep and the other is shallow. Occasionally, you can see wooden planks placed by local villagers in the forest. Many of them have decayed and cannot withstand the force.
"Due to the humid climate in our area, fallen leaves have accumulated. They are like this in many places. They are soft and fluffy. Fortunately, it is not like the Northeast area we have been to. It is also like this over there, but they are all big smokey bubbles. If you fall into them,
People can be covered up,
I heard that there was a young man from the division next door who fell in here and died..." Zhou Qishan was a little emotional when he saw it.
The old man beside him snorted, as if thinking of the past, and shook his head.
The old man's footwork was very solid. He was carrying the old woman on his back, and he was still walking as fast as he could on the uneven ground.
The sky gradually darkened.
Zhou Qishan suddenly heard a series of low calls coming from not far away.
The old man on the side said: "Are there many wild animals in your mountains?"
"It's okay. There are not many ferocious beasts in southern cities. At most there are snakes. There are a lot of snakes here. If you live in a village, you have to worry about snakes crawling into the yard. You basically have to drink realgar wine in the middle of the year." Zhou Qishan explained.
"Then leave it alone, it's probably a kitten."
The old lady had a good conscience. She listened carefully for a while and suddenly said: "It sounds like something is wailing. Is there any small animal injured?"
After hearing this, the old man felt a little helpless, but he still said to Zhou Qishan: "Young man, why don't you delay for a while and I can accompany the old lady to see you?"
"It's okay, I'm also curious about what happened, so I'll go with you." Zhou Qishan said with a smile.
They followed the sound and parted through the dense forest, and soon a large bloodstain appeared on the grass, as well as some traces of torn fur.
Following the blood trail, Zhou Qishan and the others soon saw a nest of dying foxes. They were just adult foxes protecting these little beasts. One of them had died not far away, and the other one was already dead.
She looked closely at the outsider, but she also had many scars on her body, especially a deep wound on her face.
"What's going on?" The old man was also stunned.
Zhou Qishan checked the surroundings and said, "It should be a lynx. Although we don't have any ferocious beasts here, there are still some like lynxes. This thing can't tolerate sand in its eyes and will retaliate. It especially doesn't like foxes and gray wolves.
Anyone who sees it will be bitten to death,
This thing is extremely ferocious. If it attacks by surprise, even people will be knocked down by it. These foxes may have dug out dens for lynxes..."
The three of them all took a look at the fox den. Two of the cubs were indeed missing, and the rest were trembling in their mother's arms.
When the old man came closer and took a look, the female fox immediately became furry and bared her teeth at the old man, "My dear, you are still so fierce. I see that this fox is bleeding all over the floor. From the looks of it, she probably won't survive for long."
These cubs are probably in danger, and they will become dinner when the lynx comes back."
Zhou Qishan walked forward, and the old man shouted: "Be careful, don't get bitten by this beast..." But before he finished speaking, the fox moved its nose, as if it smelled something, and actually closed it slightly.
Eyes lowered, Zhou Qishan continued to inspect.
Zhou Qishan didn't know what happened, but his technique was still very deft. "They're all skin injuries. I'll bandage them a little. They'll be fine in a few days. It's not that serious. The blood in this nest is
Basically they belong to another fox.”
Zhou Qishan's hands and feet were so numb that he bandaged the fox's wound. The fox actually didn't move. The two little foxes in the nest actually climbed out and licked the back of Zhou Qishan's hand under the watchful eyes of everyone.
"Hey?! That's weird. Did you also become a fox?" The old man looked at it in amazement.
He himself didn't understand why, and he didn't care whether these foxes understood or not, he said: "While it is peaceful here for the time being, you should quickly find another place to hide, so as not to be visited by other little animals again.
"
The little fox nodded in understanding, took a final deep look at Zhou Qishan, picked up the two cubs, and quickly ran into the forest without looking back.
The group of three then continued on the road. Fortunately, the woods here were not very dense. After such a delay, they took a detour. After more than two hours, they got out of the woods.
Zhou Qishan looked at the smoke-filled villages not far away and said with a smile: "You have to come early in the evening in the mountains. It's not that easy to walk around Jiulongyan. It takes a whole day. The village in front is called
'Liangbian Village', where can we go and find a fellow villager to spend the night?
Liangbian Village is still relatively close to the outside. There is a guest house in the village, but I don’t know if anyone is watching and cleaning it.
There will also be tourists coming here, although they are all tourists who come here because of the reputation.”
The two old men nodded after hearing this.
Zhou Qishan grew up on Jiulongyan since he was a child and knows everything about this place.
Entering the village, he met a child. Zhou Qishan wanted to ask for directions, but the child, who looked to be five or six years old, stretched out his hand. Zhou Qishan smiled and said: "Child, do you want some sweets? My brother didn't bring any.
, how about I come and show you the way next time? You can help my brother show the way..."
As a result, the child actually stared straight at Zhou Qishan.
The old man on the side couldn't stand it. He took out a fifty-dollar bill from his pocket and slapped it on the child's hand. "You silly boy. You are obviously asking for money. How old is this kid?
Do you want candy? Think of it like you were a kid, so easy to fool..."
As a result, the child opened his mouth and said: "You stupid old man, fifty is not enough, come and get some treatment!"
The old man was stunned and looked a little embarrassed. He muttered, "Why are all the little kids so smart these days?" After saying that, he touched a fifty and put it in the child's hand.
Zhou Qishan also felt a little sad that people's hearts have become outdated, but he still asked: "Child, is your guest house still open?"
"It's already closed, and the dogs don't live there. We have rooms at home, why don't you stay with us? It's cheap for you, five hundred per person, including food and drink." The child smiled like a morning glory.
Zhou Qishan thought to himself: Why is this village so dark? This idiot might as well just go and rob it.
"I know there is an earth temple nearby. Let's go there and deal with it in one night." Zhou Qishan thought for a moment and remembered that there was indeed a mountain temple not far away, but no one visited it and it was basically abandoned.
Zhou Qishan patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "There are a group of fat sheep behind you. Just slaughter them as hard as you can. After passing this village, there is no such store."
Zhou Qishan looked to the rear. Those wealthy young people had already appeared, and the village was not far away.
The old man pointed at Zhou Qishan and said with a smile: "You are not a good guy, let's go, let's go to the mountain temple to deal with it all night. Think about it, Xiaolian and I met at this place."
The old lady patted the old man and seemed a little embarrassed.
Zhou Qishan looked at the sky and said, "Let's walk around the village first to see if there is anywhere we can go. The mountain temple is a bit rundown. If there are people to live in, we'd better stay in their homes."
