939: Uphill
Hearing Xuanwu's voice, Lao Wang in the distance hesitated for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and immediately said happily, "Hey, it's Lao Xuan, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"Yes, it's me. I'll bring a few apprentices here to pick some medicinal materials."
Xuanwu said, then walked forward and stood with the people coming from afar.
Only then did Xiao Yu and the others see that the old Wang mentioned by Xuanwu was actually an old man, but the old man looked only in his sixties, younger than Xuanwu.
The old man was wearing a white-washed military uniform and a hat from an old rural man, looking quite energetic.
As soon as the two met, they asked about their well-being. They were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. Finally, with Xuanwu's introduction, Xiao Yu and the others realized that these two men met during the process of collecting herbs. They have been around for more than 20 years now, so their relationship is so strong.
"Come on, it's not so lively in my mountains for a long time. Come in and sit down."
"Haha, okay, I haven't eaten the wild game you made for a long time. I miss it very much, and I still miss it very much."
Xuanwu seemed to be several years younger at this time, like a retired soldier, meeting his old comrades who had been in charge for many years.
"Old Xuan, I didn't expect that you are old and can still bring such a large group of disciples. They are all handsome men and beautiful women. It's amazing, amazing."
When he entered the house, he took advantage of the faint light and the old man named Lao Wang started to look at Xiao Yu and others, and then went to boil water and said he wanted to cook for them, but was stopped by Xuanwu.
Xuanwu also knew that he was following a group of tails, and he came here just to pull this old friend who had been with him into the mountain with him, so as not to suffer unintentional disasters.
But now it is midnight now, let alone entering the mountain, even walking, you will fall and fall. It is impossible, so you can only rest here.
"Master Xuanwu, let's go outside and you are chatting."
The room was very small, with only a table, a bed, a kitchen or an open-air thatched house. Such facilities were indeed simple enough, so Xiao Yu said he would go outside.
Xiao Yu, Ghost Corpse, and Qinglong sat on the steps, smoking their own cigarettes, enjoying the quiet process.
In the distant valley, two cars were coming quickly, but when the cars were still two kilometers away from Xiao Yu and the others, they suddenly stopped.
"Father Huaxia has not moved anymore. He should be resting. What should we do?"
A yellow-haired man was holding an electronic device that looked like a tablet in his hand. On the map above, there was a small red dot flashing.
"Get out of the car, don't make any noise, follow."
The Western man in charge gave the order, and everyone threw the car on the side of the road, holding weapons in their hands, and quickly ran forward.
The men were like wind, and they were very fast, without any sound. Soon, they arrived a thousand meters away from Xiao Yu and the others.
"Very good, Xiao Yu and the others are all here. If we put down a fire, will we burn them to death directly?"
A man with a hooked nose lay on the ground and whispered.
"No, there must be a reason why Father Huaxia came here. Since he came here, then wait a little longer, maybe there are treasures."
A few yellow-haired men were lying on the spot and discussed it slightly. Then one of them retreated. The remaining few people quickly stood up, and then moved their bodies, like big rocs, and flew directly to the branches of several big trees.
Xiao Yu and his friends sat at the door, seemingly chatting, but in fact they were on guard, afraid of sudden attacks by the person they were following.
"Guess who they are?"
Qinglong leaned on Xiao Yu's back and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, no matter who it is, I dare to chase after it here, so I must not let it go."
"Tomorrow, I will take them into the mountains and someone will help us explore the way, which is not a good thing.
"It's right, but it should be peaceful tonight."
After the three of them finished speaking, they fell into silence again. After a while, the uncle named Wang walked out with a plate of melon seeds and said that there was nothing to eat in the mountains, so that everyone should not be disgusted.
That night, Xuanwu and Uncle Wang talked for a long time, and they didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Xiao Yu sat at the door, practicing while paying attention to the movements around him. He sat for the whole night and nothing happened.
At six o'clock in the morning, Uncle Wang got up early. Before Xiao Yu and others knew it, they cooked a big boar legs. In the mountains, only this little food could be used to entertain people.
It is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat water is not wrong at all, but there is only so much food. Not every time I go up the mountain to hunt, I can catch prey. Meat is very precious.
A few hours later, everyone ate wild boar meat, and then, under the guidance of the uncle, walked up the mountain.
It's just now autumn, but the mountain looks very desolate. The weeds on both sides of the mountain road are half a height, as if no one has ever entered the mountain, which has caused the desolation of the mountains.
Moreover, the dead branches and leaves on this mountain are very thick. When you step on some places, you will make a gurgling sound, like a swamp.
"Old Xuan, the mountain has not been peaceful recently and is very dangerous. Don't go to the deep mountains, just take a walk outside."
Uncle Wang walked not far away and pulled Xuanwu and said in a low voice.
Seeing the other party's solemn look, Xuanwu immediately stopped walking, "I feel something is wrong. When I came a few years ago, there were many people going up the mountain here. Now it's just now that autumn is coming, how could it be so desolate? What happened?"
Xiao Yu and others also surrounded him and wanted to hear what was the reason that made the mountain people dare not go up the mountain!
"Oh, it's hard to describe it. A few years ago, there were many returning farmland to forests. Large areas of mountain land turned into plants. Many wild beasts that left were back somehow. Last year, two villagers went up the mountain and were directly bitten to death by leopards. Someone saw that there were tigers and bears in the mountains. You said, who dared to go in!"
After the uncle said this, Xiao Yu and the others understood!
Compared with those ferocious beasts, human life is really weak.
"So that's the case. Don't worry, this time I'll kill those things and avenge you."
Xuanwu's swearing swearing.
If a monk wants to kill a few wild beasts, isn’t that easy to capture?
"Hey, no, killing is illegal, just be careful, it's okay."
If a wild beast kills people, there is no need to die, because he is a wild beast and has no wisdom!
But if a person kills a wild beast, it will be sentenced, so people will still choose to give in to the wild beasts.
"Let's go, you're following me, it's okay." Wu Xuan held Uncle Wang's hand. If they weren't for the older of them, it would have made people suspect that they had a lot of gay love.
"Be careful, don't fall behind."
The sound came down from the top of the mountain, and a team of eight people disappeared into the mountains with their backs.
