Volume 1 In 2007, my grandmother gave me the golden silkworm poison Chapter 2 Qingxi Water Beast
The mountains are high, dense and dangerous, deep in the forest and sea, surrounded by clouds and fog. According to the guide Lao Jiang, the place is called Paiwogouzi and it already belongs to the primeval forest area. Except for a few herb collectors, generally few people come here. Even he,
I just heard the old man say it, but I have never actually been there. There are no roads in the mountains, just trails made by wild animals. After searching for a long time, we finally found a passage to the bottom of the ditch.
At this time, Lao Jiang suddenly said that there might be snakes down there, so no, we couldn't go down.
The third uncle squatted on the side of the road, looking at a small tree with two white marks cut out. He turned around and asked why he didn't go there? Are there snakes down there? No, those worms are probably hibernating now and he can't care about them.
Let's do it.
Just tell me what the reason is.
Lao Jiang looked at the deep ditch below. Weeds, moss, ferns and thorns covered the mountain. There was the quiet flow of the stream. It was as quiet as the world in heaven. He swallowed his saliva and said that he remembered it.
, Climbing Wogouzi is a dangerous place. He knew a friend whose father died here. How did he die? Tens of snakes eat his heart. When the body was collected, only a skeleton was left. Is it so dangerous? People in the older generation have said,
Grandpa Shennong lives here. These snakes are guarding Grandpa Shennong's tomb and cannot go down.
We laugh, who is Shennong? The so-called descendants of Yan and Huang, he is the legendary Emperor Yan, the Chinese sun god, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He was a figure thousands of years ago. It is said that he once established the capital in Qufu, Shandong, and his name was Shennong. He is also the Chinese
The god of medicine and agriculture in ancient times. Although I heard that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and visited here, if it is far-fetched to say that Shennong's tomb is located in Shennongjia, I think the people of Qufu will definitely be the first to refuse.
The third uncle said don't talk about this, can you add ten thousand more? If it works, go down, if not, you can go, we will go down by ourselves.
Lao Jiang thought about it for a long time and shyly agreed.
I originally had some respect and goodwill for this honest man from Hubei, but it was immediately wiped out by his behavior of raising prices while sitting on the ground. Walking down the path, the road is steep, and Lao Jiang, who overcharged me, worked very hard.
, walking in front, chopping weeds with a hunting knife, helping us clear a path. The native dog was jumping up and down and was very busy. However, it did not dare to approach me and looked at me from a distance.
, avoid it.
This animal is quite sensitive, but I don't know if it's because of Duoduo or the golden silkworm Gu.
Or both.
In fact, walking down this road and seeing the twigs and thorns piled up on the roadside, you can clearly find that someone has walked down here recently. This discovery is very exciting, but it also makes people feel uneasy.
I continued to fluctuate between disappointment and hope, and felt even more uneasy. Lao Xiao and his third uncle are people who have done a lot of research on traditional Chinese medicine, so along the way, they kept explaining to Zhou Lin and us the characteristics of some plants on the roadside and what can be done.
He took the trouble to explain herbal medicines and their uses in detail as we walked.
When he met someone with good looks, he would keep it in his bag.
Only then did I realize that the main reason why Zhou Lin followed him was that the master who was currently taking care of him was Xiao Yingwen, his third uncle from the Zamao Trail.
It took us more than half an hour to reach the bottom of the valley. There was a small stream here. We found a pile of bonfires with no residual heat on the pebble beach by the stream. After touching it, I was afraid that it would be there for a few days.
It’s time. It drizzled again yesterday and the ground was wet, making it even harder to find. In addition, we also found some plastic bag packaging of food, instant noodle crumbs and a cotton sock. Zhou Lin asked if his uncle had been here before
Right? The third uncle nodded and said that it should be, and he would look for it again to see if he could find anything.
So we looked around, and I looked along the stones along the river, wondering if there were any signs of running to the other side of the three- to four-meter-wide stream.
Ten minutes later, Lao Jiang shouted to us from the downstream 20 meters away, asking us to come and take a look.
We hurriedly walked over and surrounded them, and saw a few footprints on the shallow mud by the stream, which looked like human footprints, but were larger and had sharp claws. I knelt down and looked at the footprints carefully.
I tried to find some clues about the footprints. However, maybe it was because of the rain. Except for the stream that looked like a piece of green glass, all I could see were white and cyan pebbles. What kind of things were there?
The third uncle also searched everywhere, trying to find the mark left by his brother.
Zhou Lin still had sharp eyes. He took out some gray hair from a branch by the stream, and then showed it in front of us. We gathered together to discuss what kind of hair this was? Several people were inclined to think it was a monkey.
After all, there are many monkeys in the Shennongjia area, such as the golden monkey, which is an endangered animal. However, Lao Jiang became inexplicably frightened. He trembled and said, "What golden monkey are you talking about?" This is clearly the savage from Shennongjia. It must be
of.
Shennongjia Savage? This thing is quite famous. As far back as more than 2,300 years ago, the famous poet Qu Yuan left a poem "Nine Songs: Mountain Ghost" to describe this thing. In the sixty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been at least 400 of them.
Many people have witnessed Shennongjia savages, but so far, no organization or individual has caught a living body. There is no strong proof in the world, but it gives this forest area more fantasy, mystery and...
Fascinating attraction.
When Lao Jiang said this, Zhou Lin became excited. He said, what are you afraid of? It's not a bad thing. If it is true, we will catch them directly. When the media exposes them, your place will be very famous, and we can also be very famous.
Make a fortune. Lao Jiang looked at Zhou Lin in horror and said, how can you say that? What is a savage? He is the darling of the mountain forest and the gatekeeper of the mountain god. If you catch him, how can he be good in the future?
Have a good time?
By then, I am afraid that people who have not yet become famous will not know what they will look like after death. I am afraid that their bones and dregs will all turn white!
When Lao Jiang mentioned Grandpa Mountain God, my heart skipped a beat: Another Grandpa Mountain God? If it were an ordinary mountain spirit wild monster, I wouldn't be afraid of it, but if this Shennongjia wild man is as capable of confusing people as a dwarf mule,
And it can repel insects, so I don’t care about others and retreat first. I asked why the savages are the gatekeepers of the Mountain God Grandpa... You are now Shennong Yandi, and now you are the Mountain God Grandpa, what kind of trouble are you going to make?
Zhou Lin said that was the case. The money had already been added once and could not be added a second time. Money was hard to earn and shit was hard to eat. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Now that we have reached the bottom of the valley, Lao Jiang is riding a tiger and is unable to get down, so he has no choice but to nag and say, let’s talk it over first. Don’t curse, be full of respect for the things in the mountain, and don’t talk nonsense, so as not to offend the mountain god. We saw him
That said, give him a step down and say okay, okay, who's brain is broken and it's okay to curse others?
Old Jiang pulled the native dog in front of the fire, sniffed it, and then let go of it. It was like a yellow line, barking all the way and running to a place upstream. Old Jiang then chased it, saying that the dog said:
, must have made a discovery, so I ran as fast as chasing a rabbit, go, go, keep up.
We just ran along and headed upstream along the stream from where we just came.
The dog ran until the end of a turn, then barked at a large fallen tree. The main trunk of this big tree was more than ten meters long, four people could hug each other, and straddled both ends of the creek. The trunk was pitch black.
It was hard to understand. But my third uncle ran up and touched it and said it was a locust tree. It was an old locust tree and it was hundreds of years old. However, it was struck by lightning. Well, it was not long, probably in the recent period.
He smelled it for a while and said what does it smell like?
When he reminded me like this, I immediately realized that there was a very strong odor in the air here. It was the smell of rotting meat, the smell of corpses, which smelled so bad that it smelled like food in my stomach.
I started to writhe and wanted to vomit. Of course, this was just a thought. I don't know how many times I have smelled a similar smell, and I got used to it after a while.
We followed the smell and climbed up the big tree. Before we saw anything, we heard a voice in the air shouting: "Fuck, what a bad luck! What a bad luck!"
It was Mr. Tiger Cat, the fat parrot, who was talking. He ran away somewhere just now, but now he came out again.
As soon as we heard this, we knew there would be nothing interesting. We climbed over the tree trunk and looked down. We saw two naked corpses, one man and one woman, lying in the grass four or five meters away from the stream.
, all of them have no heads, and the palms and soles of the limbs are all missing. They are all white. The belly, from the neck to the lower body, has been artificially cut open, and the skin has been peeled off, revealing the bloody human flesh and the empty body.
All the internal organs inside the chest were missing. It rained two days ago, soaking the body until the skin and flesh turned white. The blood on the ground was semi-solidified, like pig red in the vegetable market.
On the two headless corpses, white maggots were writhing.
In winter, there is still a clump of flies lingering around. I don’t know where they came from. The black corpses are competing with maggots for food. There are crows noisy in the air, making depressing calls. There are thorns not far away.
There was a thin crawling sound in the grass, which seemed to be coming from the diners who had just left this gluttonous feast.
Well, Zhou Lin couldn't bear it any longer. He knelt on the tree trunk and vomited down the food from last night and this morning. After being processed by his stomach for more than six hours, the food became sour and smelly.
The odor of corpses that had drifted over was mixed together, making it particularly unpleasant. The guide Lao Jiang couldn't bear it any longer and rolled down the tree. Holding the trunk of the tree with his hands, he and Zhou Lin became brothers in distress and vomited freely.
Me, Zamao Xiaodao and his third uncle were standing on the trunk of the tree. A gentle wind was blowing in, carrying the smell of corpses, but our faces remained unchanged.
Whose body are these two?
Just as we were questioning, the local dog that had been barking at the end of the tree trunk suddenly whimpered a few times. Then we heard the water splashing and hurriedly turned around to take a look. We saw that the local dog was bitten by a black-brown monster nearly two meters long.
He grabbed his neck and dragged him down into the stream.
The monster's body was smooth and covered with mucus, its limbs were short and flat, and its nearly one-meter-long round tail stirred up the waves. As it sank, the turbid water submerged its figure.
