Ye Haoxuan's heart was beating wildly. This spiritual energy was extremely rich, at least it was a rare herb that was old. He quickly ran to the cliff in three steps and two steps at a time, and carefully leaned on the cliff to take a look.
Sure enough, a wild ginseng was lying quietly on the edge of the mountain, and judging from the age, it must have been at least a hundred years old.
"Bring the rope, I saw something good." Ye Haoxuan said with renewed energy.
When she went up the mountain, she was well prepared. Niu Niu turned around and took out a hemp rope from the bamboo basket and handed it to Ye Haoxuan.
Ye Hao
We arrived about three meters down the cliff.
This hemp rope is made from the skin of a plant in the mountains. The skin of this plant is very tough. Even if it is burned with fire, the rope will not be burned for a while. Therefore, people in the mountains often roll some hemp rope in spring for later use.
.
After diving to the place where the wild ginseng grew, Ye Haoxuan took out the small shovel on his waist and carefully dug up the wild ginseng.
In fact, wild ginseng growing in such steep places is not common, and it is more common in the east. To encounter a century-old wild ginseng here is really like stepping on dog shit.
Ye Hao
You can use it to save lives.
After digging it out, Ye Haoxuan put the ginseng in his arms, then grabbed the hemp rope and climbed to the edge of the cliff.
Tang Bing was relieved to see Ye Haoxuan return safely. Although she was afraid of heights, Ye Haoxuan tied a rope to go down, so she had to overcome her fear of heights and ran to the edge of the cliff, looking at him with concern.
He looked at Ye Haoxuan, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
Fortunately, Ye Haoxuan was okay. After he came up, he took out the wild ginseng in his hand and showed it to Tang Bing.
"This is... a century-old wild ginseng?" Tang Bing was surprised. The ginseng was hidden behind a piece of moss. She didn't see it clearly. She wasn't surprised until Ye Haoxuan took it out.
"Haha, yes, I didn't expect to encounter wild ginseng of this level here. I can make a lot of money." Ye Haoxuan said with a smile.
"I can only say that you are lucky to have stepped on shit." Tang Bing said with a smile.
After digging the wild ginseng, I saw that the sky was getting dark and the sun was already a little bit west. It always gets dark early in the mountains. If you go back in the evening, it will be dark, and you will encounter some things in the mountains at night.
It was a large animal, so Ye Haoxuan and others planned to go back.
When she came, Niu Niu harvested two plump hares. She took out a few empty condoms from some hidden places. Although she didn't trap the hares, the condoms were no longer usable. There is a saying in the mountains that the rabbits have seen through you.
The trap you set needs to be moved to another place.
When Niuniu's grandfather was alive, she liked to go hunting with him, so she was considered a qualified hunter. She looked at some places, picked up the soil underground and smelled it, and determined which places were the only way for rabbits to pass.
, then nail the wooden stakes to the road, pull up the trap, and wait for the rabbit to take the bait.
"Niuniu, are there any large animals in your mountains?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, there are wolves in Xishan, but they are not a pack of wolves. We only see one or two occasionally. Last year our village chief even organized people to hunt wolves." Niu Niu replied.
The mountain to the west of the village is the tallest mountain. The mountain is strange and strange. Every evening, it always gives people a gloomy feeling. Moreover, it is far away from the village, so generally no one goes there if nothing happens.
"Besides wolves, are there any other animals?" Ye Haoxuan asked again.
"Yes, there are wild boars, but there are no other big animals. But I heard from the old people that there used to be a blind bear here, and several people were shot to death. Later, the government organized a team of people to trap it and capture it.
Already." Niuniu said.
"Ah, there are bears." Tang Bing was startled.
"Haha, that happened in the past. There are no more now. Even the wolves only had one or two last year, but there are more wild boars." Niuniu said.
"Niuniu, I think the mountains over there are relatively deserted. No one usually goes there?" Ye Haoxuan pointed to the mountains to the west.
"Basically no one goes there. I heard the old man said it's not good to go there." Niu Niu shook her head and said.
"What's wrong?" Ye Haoxuan's heart moved, and there was a bad feeling in his heart.
"I heard from the old man that the mountain where the mountain god lives is where the mountain god lives. We can't go there. If we go, we will be punished by the mountain god." Niu Niu said seriously.
"Mountain God?" Ye Haoxuan laughed dumbly: "Do you believe there are still these things now?"
"I don't believe it, but that place is indeed quite evil. My brother and the two sick people all went to that mountain when the accident happened." Niu Niu shook her head and said.
"You mean, all three of them have been to Sitting Mountain?" Ye Haoxuan said with a thought in his heart.
"Yes." Niu Niu nodded.
"Your brother is so young and the mountain is so far away. Will he also go there?" Tang Bing asked with some confusion.
"My younger brother is always a bit wild when it comes to running. He said he went to the mountains to get something called colorful fruits to dye his nails, but he had a fever when he came back," Niu Niu said.
"What did the other two people do there?" Ye Haoxuan asked.
"Then I don't know. The two of them didn't have any family members. They went there together one night and fell ill afterwards." Niu Niu shook her head and said.
Ye Haoxuan nodded. He looked thoughtfully towards the west mountain and made up his mind to take some time to take a look at the mountain. He was convinced that there must be something wrong with the mountain.
While she was talking, Niuniu had already unharnessed five or six hares. She clapped her hands, picked up the big bamboo basket on her back, and was about to go down the mountain.
But her expression changed, and she looked in surprise at a few balls of animal feces on the ground in front of her.
"What's wrong, what kind of animal feces is this?" Ye Haoxuan asked in surprise.
"This belongs to the wild boar, but they only come out at night. It's a bit early for them to come out now." Niuniu said uncertainly.
"Wild boar?" Ye Haoxuan's expression changed. The wild boar is a difficult thing to deal with. Its skin is like the armor of the sky. If it goes on a rampage, it will be a pig-shaped tank. Now the three of them don't have shotguns in their hands. If they encounter it, I'm afraid they will be killed.
There will be trouble.
"Look, the feces was just pulled out. Let's go quickly and don't run into it." Ye Haoxuan said with a tense expression.
Niu Niu nodded, not daring to stay here, but as she walked quickly, the big bamboo basket behind her seemed to be a bit in the way.
Ye Haoxuan couldn't help but take the big bamboo basket from her back, put it on his back, and then pulled Tang Bing away along the way down the mountain.
But before the three of them had gone far, there was a violent tremor in a bush in front of them. Accompanied by a squeaking sound, a brown wild boar dug its nose into the ground and dug out some plant roots while eating.
Came over.
The expressions of the three people changed, and they gasped involuntarily, especially Niu Niu, whose face turned a little pale.
The pig in front of me weighs more than two hundred kilograms. It is covered with brown fur, especially the layer of pig hair on the back of the head that stands upright. It looks very three-dimensional, like
It's like carrying a row of steel spikes on its back.
Especially the two fangs on his nose give people a creepy feeling.
There is a saying in the Northeast that one pig and two tigers are often used, which means that one wild boar is less dangerous than two tigers. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that wild boars are difficult to deal with.
In particular, the pig in front of me looks like a boar, with its two tusks curved upward. The image is very similar to the image of the pig in "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons" when the pig first went crazy.
Ye Haoxuan believes that if it can stand up, there will definitely be people shouting, "Look, the pig has a hyena."
Ye Haoxuan held Tang Bing with one hand and Niu Niu with the other, and slowly backed away. When you encounter something like this, you'd better not turn around and run away. That will make you more trouble. It's best not to mess with it and wait for it to eat.
Just leave when you are full.
It's just that this wild boar was swaying a little bit, as if it were a drunk person. It walked in a figure-eight stride and stared at the three people with its blood-red eyes.
"It's not good, it has eaten monkey wine." Niu Niu said with a trembling voice.
"What is monkey wine?" Ye Haoxuan asked in a low voice.
"It's a kind of wild fruit in our mountains. It contains alcohol, but it has a fragrant smell. Wild boars often eat it by mistake, which means they are drunk now." Niu Niu replied in a low voice.
Ye Haoxuan was slightly startled, knowing that he was in trouble this time. A drunk wild boar is actually not much different from a drunk person. They both go crazy with alcohol. It seems like he needs to stretch his muscles today.
Since entering the Huang-level ancient martial arts cultivation level, except for Li Yanxin, he has not met a master of the same level, so he is not sure where his strength has reached now.
If the wild boar in front of him really started to fight, he had no idea how he could compete with the ancient warrior, but now there was no way out. If this guy really pounced on him, he would have no choice but to fight.
The wild boar glanced at the three people in confusion. Its eyes were a little red after accidentally eating wild fruits. It stretched out its nose and squeaked towards the three people. It seemed that its head was not clear and it could not figure out who the three people in front of it were.
What's the origin?
Seeing this wild boar, Niu Niu was a little overwhelmed. She had grown up in the mountains, and wild boars were not uncommon, but this was the first time she had seen such a big wild boar.
Tang Bing looked slightly panicked. Ye Haoxuan squeezed her hand twice, telling her not to be afraid. Tang Bing took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Suddenly, as if the wild boar had remembered something, it let out a scream like a killing pig, raised its hooves together, ran forward fiercely, and pounced on several people.
