Mr. Ma thought for a moment, his dark eyes rolled around a few times and then said: "Widow Zhao had grudges with many people in the village during her lifetime. I guess she was taken in by the Dragon King. This time it's

I came here to claim my life on behalf of the Dragon King! There is no good way. Let’s prepare to sacrifice to the Dragon King. Each family will prepare some cattle, sheep, pigs and ducks, and open the altar. I will do it myself. If I can’t calm down the Dragon King’s anger, I’m afraid the whole village will suffer.

!”

After hearing this, Village Chief Li took a deep breath with a look of embarrassment on his face: "The situation in the past two years has not been very good. Every household is in trouble. The cattle and sheep are the lifeblood of their family. I'm afraid

I can’t move everyone!”

Mr. Ma's eyes widened: "Which is more important, cattle, sheep, or life? I don't know what you are thinking!"

"Then... okay, I'll go talk!" Village Chief Li took a deep breath, seeming to muster up the courage.

"It's not enough to have cattle and sheep. In previous years, cattle, sheep, pigs and ducks were used to sacrifice the Dragon King, but it didn't calm the Dragon King's anger. Not this year. Three-year-old boys and girls must be used to worship the Dragon King! Otherwise, everyone in the village will die.

I'm going to die!" Mr. Ma thought for a moment and said, his face serious, and it was hard to tell what he really thought in his heart.

When I heard this, I felt a little unbelievable. What era are we in now? How come there is still a saying about using boys and girls to sacrifice to the Dragon King? That was something that was only done in ancient times.

Village Chief Li, like me, looked at Mr. Ma with a surprised look on his face, as if he was too shocked and didn't know what to say.

"These are two lives, and they have to be shot!" the bearded man said timidly.

Village Chief Li also said: "Our village has not done anything like this in a hundred years. Things are different now. If we do something like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to cover it up!"

Mr. Ma pondered for a while. I thought Mr. Ma would give up, but I didn’t expect him to go on to say: “Look for it from other villages, or go to the mountains to catch naughty children!”

"Go and catch the naughty kid! There is a Bear King on that mountain. Isn't it too risky! No one who went up to Xiongtou Mountain came out!" Village Chief Li looked surprised.

"Is there any other way?" Mr. Ma asked.

Village Chief Li and several other villagers did not speak, and the tangled expressions on their faces told me that they had no idea.

"What is a naughty child? Is it a human or a bear?" I asked in confusion.

Mr. Ma looked at me and explained: "The naughty child is a human being, but he was raised by bears. He has a ferocious temperament, cannot speak, and attacks people. He was abandoned by people! He is half human and half beast!"

Village Chief Li and Mr. Ma discussed it for a while and felt that this was the only feasible method. After all, the lives of the entire village were at stake, and even if there was danger, one must take risks.

I heard that Village Chief Li said that naughty children are usually on Xiongtou Mountain. If you want to find naughty children, you have to go up the mountain. Village Chief Li said that there is no need for me to follow. After all, I am not from the village and there is no need to go with them.

Regarding this risk, Village Chief Li doesn’t know the purpose of my coming. I have been looking for opportunities to go to Xiongtou Mountain these days, but I have never had the opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, and there are people in the village leading the way, I will naturally not give up. In my

Despite his strong request, Village Chief Li agreed.

But before setting off, Mr. Ma with the goatee refused to let me go to Xiongtou Mountain. The reason was that Xiongtou Mountain was very dangerous and I would drag everyone down.

I guess this guy was testing me. Although Village Chief Li is the head of the village, his words don’t seem to have as much weight as Mr. Ma, so I said: “Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down. Maybe there is someone who can help.”

I’m busy!”

Mr. Ma looked me over and said nothing.

Village Chief Li selected a few brave and energetic men from several villages, and Mr. Ma led the team into Xiongtou Mountain.

The mountain road was rugged. We walked for more than an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain. Xiongtou Mountain is not very high, about 700 to 800 meters, but it is very big. I estimate that it will take at least two hours to reach the mountainside. When we were preparing to go up the mountain,

Suddenly a black jeep appeared at the foot of the mountain. We stopped and looked at it for a while. The car drove slowly and stopped seven or eight meters away from us. A woman and four men got out of the car, and there were

There was an old man with gray hair and glasses, who looked like a scholar. The remaining two men were taller and shorter, the taller was thin, the shorter was strong. They were wearing camouflage uniforms and leather boots, and the two of them were carrying large bags.

Don't know what's inside.

The woman stood in front, wearing sunglasses, cyan sneakers, a camouflage vest, and a ponytail. She looked very delicate and quite pretty. The woman and the old scholar whispered a few words, and then turned their attention to

The woman here seemed to have some status. The scholar nodded. The two men behind him did not speak. The woman walked towards me and us with a smile. She held the sunglasses in her hands. Her smile was full of intimacy and was quite charming.

Her appearance makes people feel a little fond of her.

I didn't know what the group of people were doing, so I didn't say anything at the moment, but looked at the woman in front of me cautiously.

The woman glanced around and then fixed her gaze on Mr. Ma. She seemed to think that Mr. Ma was someone who had the right to speak here.

"Excuse me, is this the way up the mountain?" The woman smiled, her voice sweet and sweet.

Mr. Ma rolled his eyes in a circle, raised his goatee, and smiled, showing his yellow teeth: "We are walking here, but the mountain road is winding and the car cannot drive up it! What do you want to do up the mountain?

?”

"We are from a TV station. We heard that there are brown bears in Xiongtou Mountain. We want to shoot a documentary. There are black bears in Sichuan, but we have never seen a brown bear! If we can film it, maybe it will cause a sensation!"

The woman laughed.

After saying that, three people came over behind him.

I originally thought Mr. Ma would refuse. After all, we went up the mountain to catch naughty children. If people from the TV station were following us, it would be difficult for us to do so.

But Mr. Ma’s words were beyond my expectations: “Hey, we happen to be going up the mountain, so just follow us!”

"Okay, thank you then!" The woman waved to the three people behind her, and they followed behind carrying equipment.

I asked Village Chief Li with my eyes. Village Chief Li understood what I meant, glanced at Mr. Ma, and shook his head helplessly.

The queen said to me: "Let's go first!"

I don't know what this guy's intention is. I hope he has a plan and has no choice but to follow the team.

The mountain road was rugged, and the way up the mountain was even more difficult. Before going very far, there was no road and there were thick bushes, so we had to split trees to walk.

After walking for more than an hour, my legs felt uncomfortable. If Mr. Ma hadn't told me to rest, I would have collapsed on the ground.

The woman looked very relaxed, her face was not red and she was not out of breath, and she seemed not to have expended a lot of energy.

I secretly thought that this woman is not a simple woman. I am afraid she is not a pampered reporter from the TV station like she said.

After a while, the woman suddenly turned to Mr. Ma and asked, "My name is Ye Qing, what do you call me?"

"My surname is Ma. You and I are all called Mr. Ma in the village. I know a little bit about Yin Yang Feng Shui. This Village Chief Li and the others are all young people in the village!" Mr. Ma seemed to have an extraordinary affection for this woman.

Passionate, I discovered that no matter how old a man is, he likes young girls.

Ye Qing seemed to understand Mr. Ma's thoughts and immediately smiled: "Mr. Ma, how long do we have to go before we see the bear?"

"It's hard to say. The trees in this forest are too dense. Generally bears won't appear here. We have to go further and get into a wider forest to see them. Whether we can see them depends on the opportunity!"

The gentleman pondered for a moment and then looked around and continued: "It is getting dark today. As we walk through the forest, there is a hut in front of us. It was left by the hunters who went up the mountain in the past. Now that the government no longer allows hunting, the hut is still there.

Where, you can rest there for the night and continue walking deeper tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Ye Qing frowned and didn't say anything. I saw her and the old man wearing glasses next to her look at each other, and then nodded. I didn't know what the exchange of their eyes meant.
