After getting in the car, the man wearing a Lei Feng hat kept urging me. It wasn't until we drove into the village that he looked at me and let out a long breath: "Thankfully I didn't let them find out, otherwise this matter would have been even bigger!"
I looked at him puzzled: "Brother, what happened? Why is there still a TV station car!"
The man was speechless: "Come to my house and sit for a while. I will tell you slowly that this matter is not easy to deal with now!"
After entering the door, the man briefly introduced himself. His surname was Cui, and he was an employee of this Forestry Bureau station. He would wait for the wood to come down and transfer it here. If the loggers in the forest were short of any living supplies,
, he is responsible for finding someone to deliver it. Generally speaking, he is a civil servant, with a serious salary of 800 yuan.
I sat on the edge of the Kang in their house and listened quietly to him. Mainly because I was cold and my brain hurt a little, so I had to take it slow. Naturally, Wen Xiaoni didn't have the patience to meet him, so she stood in the middle of the floor with a sad face.
: "Brother Cui, where are my parents now? How is my dad?"
"Your mother has gone into the woods to take care of your father. At first, our leaders didn't believe it when your mother said she knew this Mr. Ma who had been on TV. But now that he has actually been found, we feel confident."
I felt that I was almost relieved, so I raised my eyes and looked at him: "Brother Cui, what is going on? What happened to my Uncle Wen? Why are everyone from the TV station here?"
Brother Cui sighed helplessly: "Don't talk about it. Not only people from the TV station, but also archaeologists are here! Doesn't this delay our logging work? We have been told by above that this matter should be handled in a low-key manner, but
Now that reporters are coming one after another, he can't keep a low profile. Mr. Ma, you must take this matter seriously, otherwise, it will be a big trouble!"
"Don't talk about this yet, I want to hear the cause and result."
Brother Cui nodded and pointed at Wen Xiaoni: "Old Wen, that's his dad. The area they logged is in the deepest part of our forest farm, which is the virgin forest. They can only operate it with the help of horses and chain saws.
Even tractors can't enter that area sometimes. It's completely manual work. Their construction team only has ten people. Because of the difficulty, the completion of the work is not very high. However, the wood there is all rare raw materials. A single red pine can
It takes more than a dozen timbers to be transported than other construction teams..."
"Brother Cui, the key point."
I pointed out that I didn’t understand this stuff, and since time was limited, I wanted to hear him say something that I understood.
Brother Cui nodded: "Aren't Lao Wen and the others working in the primitive deep forest? There are many wolves and bears in the forest. Our Forestry Bureau is also equipped with tranquilizer guns and other necessary safety measures.
But three or four days ago, Lao Wen and the others heard something moving outside at night, which kept them from sleeping. As soon as they went out, they found that the horse had been bitten to death.
They thought it was a wolf, so they looked around with guns. They found something as tall as a child wandering on the snow. Lao Wen shouted, and the thing looked back at him. Everyone they saw said it looked like a monkey.
There was something with big, red eyes and a big trunk, and it stretched out like an elephant. No one among the three of them knew what it was. Old Wen was frightened and shot it. Who knew that the thing was shot?
It was fine for a while, but he immediately jumped over and bit Lao Wen. There were Lao Dan and Lao He around, so they went up to help, and the two of them were also scratched. They said that the thing was very strong and long.
Although it was small, several men couldn't get rid of it, and then it ran away, and then something happened to Lao Wen and the three of them..."
I listened to what Brother Cui described and searched silently in my mind. If the person in the dream had taught me, then the thinking engine should be able to search it out.
"What did my dad bite me?"
Brother Cui sighed and looked at her: "Don't worry, we don't know what it is. At first, none of them took it seriously. They were just wondering about the monkey they had never seen before. There was no phone signal there, so
I was waiting to be informed in the morning that my horse had been bitten to death. Without the horse, I couldn't pull the wood. It turned out that the monitor of their construction team, Lao Chen, who had been a lumberjack for more than 20 years, said that they might have gotten into trouble with the mountain.
I'm fine, I have to leave quickly, otherwise I won't be able to leave, but how can I leave in the dark, so I have no choice but to wait until morning.
But that night, Lao Wen started to make arrangements. Sometimes he was noisy and cold, and sometimes he was hot. In the morning, he tried to get him down the mountain, but he couldn't move at all. He would bite whenever he touched him. Has anyone been bitten?
It happened like this after a while, and everyone was scared. Lao Dan and Lao He didn't have any symptoms at first, so they rushed down the mountain to the hospital. But something went wrong in the hospital. After all kinds of tossing, whoever moved and bit the other was unconscious.
I don’t know. He kept kneeling down and said that he had offended the mountain god. In addition, he bit a nurse. After biting the nurse, the nurse started to act abnormal. Wouldn’t this matter become a big deal? So the TV station did this
Someone came to interview and asked if there was that thing called a snowman or a savage on the mountain.
Oh my god, this person is so panicked. Isn’t it urgent from above? Lao Chen understood and said that he had to find a witch doctor. He had encountered this with other logging teams before, and it was just like this. The witch doctor he found was
It was promising, but the witch doctor Lao Chen knew had passed away a long time ago, so he asked two witch doctors here. One said he had never heard of it at all and didn’t understand and wouldn’t read it. The other said it was a mountain spirit.
Don't offend me or anything. She didn't dare to show it, and the more she talked, the more mysterious she became. Lao Wen was awake and confused for a while. When he was awake, he heard our words and said that he knew you. Then we contacted his wife, and that's it.
It’s happened.”
Brother Cui spoke for a long time, and I kept thinking with a serious expression, Mountain Spirit...
"Mr. Ma, to tell you the truth, this is a good time to harvest in winter. In one or two years, the mountain will be closed, and you won't be able to harvest anymore if you want to. But now that this incident has happened,
All the construction teams are scared and everyone went on strike and went down the mountain. Now we don’t even dare to think about the losses!”
"What kind of loss are you talking about? What should I do with my dad? Did you just throw my dad into the mountain alone?"
"We also want to get your dad down. The key is that he bites. Now we can only tie up your dad and another person who was bitten by your dad and got sick. Lao Chen, Lao Xu and your mother are there.
Looking at it, we are also anxious, haven't we tried our best to find a solution? Who knows what your father has offended!"
As he said this, Brother Cui shook his head: "Now our leaders are getting angry, and some big leaders in the city have spoken out. If this matter is not understood, it will have an impact on tourism. Now the boss of the hospital
Shan, Lao He, and the nurse who was bitten were all put in the isolation ward. They were also checked to see if they had been bitten by some infectious animal. No matter what it was, the media had already been alerted.
, this matter must come to an end, whether it is a mountain spirit or that savage, you have to come up with an explanation, right? Mr. Ma, why was I afraid that the reporters from the TV station would see you just now? I just calculated that this matter did not come out.
We can't make a big fuss now, otherwise, I'll have to be laid off."
"Mandrill."
I suddenly opened my mouth and glanced at Brother Cui: "Based on the symptoms and the appearance you described, it should be a mandrill.
"Mandrill?" Brother Cui was startled, "Is it a mountain spirit? Is it an evil thing like a ghost?"
I knew it in my heart, so I stood up and said, "The so-called demons, demons, demons, mandrills, and mandrills refer to mandrills. It is right to call mountain spirits the things that become spirits in the mountains."
But if you say it’s evil, it shouldn’t be evil, but it’s too spiritual.
Brother Cui looked at me in confusion, "No, I don't understand, what are you talking about?"
I looked at him expressionlessly and said: "魑, is about ghosts that harm people, mei is a ghost that seduces people, 魍 is a legendary monster, 魉, and 魍xiang are both from legends."
Monster, Mandrill, is a drought monster, which refers to a monster that can cause drought. Mandrill, you have never seen a monster in the main mountain that can attack people. It is said that there are many with one leg, but in fact, that is not necessarily the case. Mandrill, it is a ghost monster. It is also said that it is in
The words "harmful things in the water" contain a lot of legends or existence of spirits that you don't know about. The key point is that you only need to remember the mandrill. Because it attacks people and has a bad temper and is extremely powerful, it can only
That’s it.”
"Then, what should we do?"
I tilted my chin slightly: "Take us there first. It's useless no matter how much you say, but I have to make it clear. I can show this to the reporters, but I don't want to be interviewed or disturbed by the reporters."
.”
"I understand, I understand, and we won't let this matter be shown on TV. Don't worry, as long as this matter is over, our leaders will solve it clearly."
I nodded: "Then don't waste time, let's go."
"Jiaolong." Zong Bao came to my side and whispered: "You can really see it, but I have never heard of a mandrill."
I glanced at Wen Xiaoni's worried face and gently opened her mouth: "Don't worry." (To be continued)
