This mountain is called Savage Mountain. As the name suggests, there must be savages in this Savage Mountain.
It is said that many years ago, two herb collectors, an old man and a young man, went into a canyon called "Gui Jian Chou" at the foot of the mountain and searched for some rare medicinal herbs along the deep canyon.
The master and the apprentice went in from the morning and did not come out until dark. Everyone speculated that they must have encountered some kind of accident in the mountains. Some said that they might have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, while others said that they They must have encountered savages, or were probably attacked and hijacked by savages... There were different opinions for a while, but no one knew what terrible situation they encountered inside, and all these theories were just groundless speculations without conclusive evidence. !
Many days passed, but there was still no news from the master and the apprentice. Just when everyone thought they had been buried in the mountain, the two men magically appeared by the stream at the foot of the mountain. However, these two people had disheveled hair, many scars on their bodies, and their clothes were in tatters. They looked like two wandering beggars, holding water to drink by the stream.
This scene was seen by an old farmer working by the stream. He came closer and took a closer look. This sight shocked him greatly. Aren't these two the master and the apprentice who had gone to the mountains to collect herbs for many days and disappeared without any reason?
The old farmer's heart suddenly pounded. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen a ghost. He was so frightened that he dropped the hoe on his shoulder and ran away as if for his life. He shouted that there was a ghost as he ran. The two people were also frightened. After a jump, you looked at me, and I looked at you, with a blank look on my face.
They wanted to stop the old farmer, but then they suddenly came to their senses and leaned forward to take a look at the clear water. They saw the shadows in the water with disheveled hair and mud on their heads. What are these two evil ghosts?
Besides, the old farmer ran out a mile away in one breath, panting heavily, quietly turned around and looked back to make sure that the two beggar-looking people by the stream had not caught up with him. Then he relaxed and slowed down, and he made up his mind. He calmed down and thought about how to tell the people in the village about this strange scene.
He returned to the village and told the village chief about the strange things he had seen. The village chief was dubious about his words, and then summoned a few strong and bold young men to go to the stream to check. They quickly came to the stream, only to see the two People are still lingering by the stream.
By this time they had washed off the dirt on their bodies, and when they got closer and took a closer look, they confirmed that these two people were the old and young masters and apprentices who had gone to the mountains to collect medicine for many days. Seeing that they looked like neither humans nor ghosts, everyone was confused. Very shocked.
After some questioning, it turned out that the two of them entered the canyon that day and slowly entered a deep forest. However, in the dense forest that blocked the sky and the sun, they encountered several tall monsters with gray hair all over their bodies. The monster has hands, feet, head, eyes, ears and nose, and is just like ordinary people, except that its body is taller and stronger than ordinary people.
At that time, those weirdos were eating a wild boar in the forest. When the master and apprentice suddenly saw the scene in front of them, they were so frightened that their legs went weak. They thought they had bumped into a ghost, and they ran away without thinking. After being discovered by the monsters, they immediately dropped the wild boar in their hands and chased them with strange screams. The monsters moved quickly and were caught by them before they could run a few steps.
The two masters and apprentices were so frightened that they had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy, hoping that these monsters would not hurt their lives. After the monsters caught the two of them, they saw that they looked similar to themselves. They did not deal with them like wild boars. They just found rough vines and tied them tightly to the trunk. They looked at the two of them curiously from time to time. , the strange "Woo-Woo" sounds coming out of their mouths seemed to be the communication between their companions, and the master and apprentice could not understand what they were talking about.
Seeing that these monsters would not hurt themselves, but had no intention of letting them go, they had no choice but to beg them to let them go. The monsters ignored them and looked at them for a while, then went back to their own business. Carve up the wild boar.
He put the decomposed wild boar meat in front of them and wanted to feed it to them. When the two saw this bloody scene, their stomachs were already churning and they vomited frequently. They unconsciously vomited on the ground in front of them, including bile. Most of the day passed like this, and the two of them were hungry and thirsty, thinking that they would die like this and be buried in this deep mountain and old forest.
Unconsciously, night fell, and the coldness in the mountain forest was overwhelming. The two people were shivering from the cold, and unconsciously fainted. It wasn't until the sun shone into the forest the next day that they slowly opened their eyes amidst the sound of birds. What they saw was a field of colorful flowers and greenery, and a smell of wild beasts assaulted their nostrils. It turned out that they were covered with the furs of various wild beasts. Tiger skin, python skin, brown bear skin. They couldn't believe their eyes.
It turned out that the monsters were worried that the two men might be frozen to death by the cold night, so they found many animal skins to cover them to keep out the cold. Not only did the two people not freeze to death, they actually felt their bodies were heating up after waking up. The strong fishy smell made them extremely clear-headed. However, they had not had any water or food all day and night, and their stomachs were empty and they were unbearably hungry and thirsty. If this continues, even if they don't freeze to death, they will starve to death. They only rely on their weak strength to call each other. After receiving responses, they know that each other is still alive, and they feel a little excited in their hearts, which also adds to the excitement. The courage to find a way to escape. They tried their best to rub against the tree trunks to loosen the vines that were tied to their bodies. Resisting the terrible hunger and the strong smell, they finally pulled the animal skins away. At this time, the sun shone all over the dense forest. Those monsters disappeared. The ground was littered with messes, the wild boar's blood had dried up, and bones and hair were scattered everywhere. It was obvious that the monsters finished eating the wild boar and then left.
What puzzled the two people was that these monsters did not hurt them, but they did not want to let them go. What was the purpose of tying them to the tree trunk? Now, those monsters have left, and the most important thing now is to try to escape as soon as possible. We must escape from this old forest before those monsters come back, so that we can have hope of survival. The two of them were grinding with all their strength while discussing an escape plan. The vines on their bodies were tight and hard. After grinding for a while, there was no sign of loosening. The two had to continue grinding desperately, for fear that the monsters would suddenly come back. After dawdling like this for a long time, their clothes were worn to tatters and their skin was bloody, they finally loosened the vines that tied them.
The two people suddenly felt sad, hugging each other and crying. After crying, the two of them fled along the mountain road they came from. The place they walked when they entered the mountain was not marked. They wandered in the forest for a while, and then returned to the original place. They clearly remembered that they entered the forest from this direction when they came, but for some reason, they turned back to their original place after walking for almost an hour. The situation in front of them could not help but frighten them. If this continued, they might never be able to get out of this forest. The two of them were hungry, scared, and anxious. As time passed by, if those people came back here again, they would have no chance to escape.
Just when he was at a loss, the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and caught a glimpse of the sun shining. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he thought that he should walk in the direction of the sun. The sun rises in the east. If he walks in the east direction, he will surely be happy. I can get out of this old forest.
The two then limped forward along the direction of the sun. After walking for about three hours, they finally arrived at the ridge where they entered the mountain. After several days of hard walking, the two finally walked out of the devil's cave-like mountain, out of the deep canyon, and came to the stream at the foot of the mountain.
