The three of them moved very quickly, and within a short time, they lit a bonfire, set up a pan, poured all the meat dishes that Old Liu Tou had sent a few hours ago into the pot, and served a pot of chowder.
A few minutes later.
In the pan, the aroma is overflowing.
Smelling this smell, the three of them started to devour the food without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye.
One pot of food was almost completely destroyed.
At this time.
'Those golden-haired monkeys should be nearby.'
Glancing at the pan with a little food left, Ding Ze muttered silently, and then, calmly, he moved his eyes slightly and looked behind him.
Look at this.
moment!
Eyes meet!
I saw two golden-haired monkeys that were indeed a bit too big, like experienced thieves, approaching step by step, almost silently.
At a glance...
Ding Ze smiled, and at the same time, he quickly pulled out the second pistol that he had taken out of his backpack not long ago and inserted into his waist. Then, with the muzzle facing the sky, he pulled the trigger and fired three shots!
'Bang bang bang!'
Gunshots rang out suddenly.
Immediately.
Lao Chi and Wu Xie, who were immersed in cooking, as if they had transformed into professional cooks. Their attention was focused on the pan. They were both shocked. They quickly turned to look at Ding Ze, with horrified expressions on their faces: "╰(
*°▽°*)╯!!!”
at the same time.
'Squeak, squeak, squeak!'
The two golden-haired monkeys, who were only about three meters away from the three people, were naturally frightened. They let out a burst of piercing screams, moved rapidly, and fled back at high speeds.
'Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!'
The next second, an even more piercing scream suddenly came from above the heads of the three people.
Hear the sound.
Ignoring Wu Xie's panic and doubts, Ding Ze immediately raised his head upwards, his eyes moved quickly, and he quickly looked at the dozen golden-haired monkeys standing on the rocks above, focusing on the largest monkey king!
"Bang bang bang!"
When his eyes fell on the Monkey King, Ding Ze didn't waste any time. He moved towards the Monkey King, pulled the trigger again, fired three more shots, and then shouted.
"Get out of here! Otherwise I will eat you!"
A roar came out.
'Get out of here, otherwise, I will really kill you.' As an animal lover, Ding Ze really didn't think so after knowing that these golden-haired monkeys just wanted to grab food, not kill them.
He was willing to kill. So, at this moment, he was really worried that these golden monkeys would not leave just for a bite to eat...
Fortunately.
Facts almost immediately proved that his worries were unnecessary.
Only seen.
Accompanied by the smell of gunpowder smoke...
Also accompanied by roars, gunshots, and screams from the mouths of a group of golden monkeys...
The monkey king, who bared his teeth and had a slightly distorted fur face, moved, screaming "Zhi Zhi Zhi" while running wildly along the rock wall towards the distant forest!
The Monkey King withdrew like this.
A group of golden-haired monkeys also moved away one after another, screaming and running away.
A moment of effort.
The monkeys then disappeared into the forest, and only the sound of "Zhi Zhi Zhi" continued to be heard as they went further and further away.
-----------------------
"Hey," seeing the monkeys running away, Ding Ze breathed a sigh of relief silently. Then, he put away his pistol and smiled at Wu Xie and Lao Chi, who still had a confused expression on their faces, and deliberately sneered.
quipped.
"I'm telling you, you two, in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, you can't just focus on eating... From time to time, you have to pay attention to the surrounding situation..."
"If I hadn't discovered this in time, you would have been severely beaten by those monkeys."
Hear this.
Wu Xie and Lao Chu blinked together and came to their senses, with a look of shame on their faces.
The two were speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Ding Ze stopped immediately without saying anything. He just picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, "Don't be stunned. Let's eat quickly. After eating, we should leave quickly and try to reach our destination before dark."
"Monkeys are very smart animals and can easily hold grudges. They might come back to take revenge."
"After dark, in the forest, we may not be their opponents."
Ding Ze said, stuffing a mouthful of fat meat into his mouth.
Wu Xie heard this and picked up his chopsticks to eat, "Brother Ding, did those monkeys just want to steal our food?"
"Well," Ding Ze nodded, "I will teach you a trick for free. Remember in the future, in the virgin forest, no matter it is day or night, it is best not to eat food that emits fragrance. Because the fragrance will attract all kinds of food.
animal……"
"We were lucky this time. We only attracted monkeys, not big ones like pythons."
Wu Xie: "I learned it."
"Brother Ding, it's you - you have rich experience," Lao Itch followed and flattered.
Ding Ze smiled and stopped talking.
-------------------
The three of them hurriedly destroyed the remaining food in the pan, then without any further delay, Ma Liu packed up their things, put on their backpacks, and headed towards the depths of Jiazi Valley.
Time passes quickly.
Unknowingly, the draft in Jiazigou became louder and louder... The whistling sound became more and more like the howling of ghosts and wolves...
'It's indeed a bit spooky,' Ding Ze couldn't help but thought as he listened to the strange noise, then raised his head slightly and looked upward.
Only seen.
Just like what is described in the original work, when you look up like this, the sky you can see has obviously shortened a certain width.
It seems as if the entire sky has really condensed into a line...
Ding Ze looked a little fascinated.
Wu Xie noticed and raised his head.
"Brother Ding, is there anything wrong with it?" Wu Xie asked after looking for a few seconds and finding nothing unusual.
Ding Ze heard it and came back to his senses, "No, I just think this place is very strange."
"It is indeed very strange," Wu Xie agreed. "At the same time, it is also depressing enough. Don't you think it looks like the tops of the cliffs on both sides are going to collapse at any time?"
After hearing the words, Ding Ze had an idea and decided to tease Wu Xie, "Comrade Wu Xie, through contact over the past period of time, I feel that you do have signs of bad luck, so please stop being so talkative, okay? I
I don’t want to be inexplicably hit to death by rocks falling from the sky because of your crow’s mouth.”
Wu Xie was speechless: "..."
Ding Ze saw this, smiled, took out his cigarettes, and handed one to Wu Xie, "Just kidding, you are a bit too serious, you should relax a little."
Wu Xie took the cigarette and sighed without making a sound.
At this point, the short interlude ends.
The three of them moved forward in silence again.
We walked silently for about ten minutes.
Wu Xie suddenly raised his head and glanced at the sky above, where the width was further shortened. He raised his eyebrows and asked Lao Itch with a solemn tone, "Lao Itch, the sky above is getting narrower and narrower. Is there any danger ahead?"
Will it be completely dark?"
Lao Itch shook his head, "How could it be? There is always light ahead, don't worry."
Wu Xie was silent and looked around with a somewhat ugly expression.
Take a look.
Wu Xie suddenly heard a voice again, "This ghost place, the further you go in, the darker it gets. By the way, Lao Itch, that old Liu Tou, did you tell you about the legend of the Yin soldiers in this Jiazi ditch last time?
