A group of people enter the mountain for a month and leave the mountain for half a month.
Standing in front of the supreme leader's village gate, Long Piaopiao stretched.
"Huh~ I finally came out. I've only been eating solid food for the past few months, and my mouth has almost faded away."
Zhang Qishan looked at Long Piaopiao's appearance and shook his head helplessly.
When the old man heard that Zhang Qishan and the others had returned safely, he came out with a look of disbelief on his face and stared in Zhang Qishan's direction with empty eyes.
"You came back alive? Where is the baby?"
Long Piaopiao sneered.
"Of course he came back alive. Do you want us to die in the mountains? As for the baby, of course he came back with us."
The baby of the Zhang family made a perfunctory babble when he heard someone care about him.
The old man's face changed greatly when he heard the baby's voice.
"What did you do to the mountain gods!?"
Long Ling smiled.
"Mountain God? That disgusting thing was of course killed by our clan leader."
After listening to Long Ling's words, the old man almost lost his breath and muttered to himself.
"It's impossible, it's impossible. Sangwu is so powerful, he won't die like this, no, no."
Long Piaopiao was a little confused.
"Sangwu? Do you know the mountain god?"
Zhang Qishan said calmly.
"Leader, I think you'd better invite us into your room and tell us everything you know."
The old man nodded in despair and relief, staggered and invited a few people into the village and brought them to his bamboo house.
Zhang Qishan asked his soldiers to guard the outside with Qiqiao Linglongtu, while he took Long Piaopiao, Zhang Rishan, Qi Tiezui, Long Ling and others into the bamboo house with the old man.
Several people sat around the table in the old man's house.
The old man slowly told a story about him and the mountain god.
A long time ago, a beautiful girl holding soil in her hands and wearing animal skins appeared in the old man's village. She was the local girl who was killed by Zhang Qishan and Long Piaopiao.
He was still a young man who had just become the leader at that time. He fell in love with the girl at the first sight. As the supreme leader of the Eighty-Two Village, he certainly knew that this girl was the legendary man-eating monster. , a local girl.
Every time he mustered up the courage to kill the girl, he couldn't do it when he saw the girl's pure eyes.
It was the first time that the native girl entered the human world and she didn't understand anything. She didn't know how to dress, how to use chopsticks, and she didn't understand human language.
The young leader patiently taught her everything. He named the girl Sangwu, which means the most beautiful flower in the Miao village.
Later the two fell in love.
The young leader held a grand wedding for the girl that was unique to the Miao people. He personally led the girl to the bridal chamber.
Everything was wonderful at the beginning. They lived happily together for twenty years. They hunted together in the mountains and forests, cooked together, and slept together. No matter what they did, two people who loved each other had to stick together.
Until one day, the native girl who had become a young woman became pregnant.
The leader was very happy. He originally thought that after twenty years, they would not have any more children. The sudden surprise made him ecstatic.
But the native girl cried and told him that she was leaving.
Because from the moment she becomes pregnant, the native girl will gradually turn into a monster that only eats human flesh, and the children she gives birth to will also be monsters.
The leader collapsed. He begged the girl not to leave, and to abort the child. He could not want the child, but he could not lose his most beloved person.
But women always love their children very much. Even if she is a monster, she also loves her children very much.
She gently caressed her slightly swollen belly and cried while rejecting the leader's prayer.
She promised the leader that in five hundred years, a local girl like her would be born again in the Qiqiao Linglong soil. She would be her other self and would return to the leader's side.
But the leader is just an ordinary human being and cannot live this long.
The native girl told him that she would give her human sacrifices every year in the future, because she only liked to eat human flesh after becoming a monster. Every fifty years, she would bring her a baby, and she would use the accompanying longevity grass to extend the baby's lifespan. Pass it on to the leader, but longevity grass has side effects. It can only transfer a quarter of the baby's life span to him, and it cannot make him look younger. His organs will still age slowly.
Fifty years was too long, and the lifespan of an ordinary person simply could not keep him going, so he set his sights on a small group of Zhang family members who settled in Eighty-two Village, because he knew that the lifespan of the Zhang family would be It was a long time, so he began to contribute Zhang family babies.
In order to protect the local girl, he also made up the legend of the mountain god and the story that a leader once tried to rebel against the mountain god, and in the end all the babies in the village were kidnapped.
Later, as his body got older and older, he became blind. Blind, he could no longer find his way into the mountains, so he had to ask Zhang Qishan and others who were also members of the Zhang family to help him remove the last Zhang family member in the village. If the baby is sent to the mountains, the Zhang family will live a long life. The native girl will transfer the life span of the Zhang family and the Zhang family baby to him, so that tribute will no longer be needed for hundreds of years to come.
After listening to this story, everyone was quiet for a long time.
Finally it was the old man who broke the calm.
"I have lived for more than four hundred years. Now that Sang Wu is dead, he will no longer have life to pass on to me. I can't wait for Sang Wu in two hundred years. You can kill me at any time."
After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Rishan and Long Ling had already taken out their weapons and were ready to make a move.
Long Piaopiao and Zhang Qishan stopped the two of them.
Zhang Qishan said slowly.
"If you can guarantee that the Eighty-two Villages will help us fight against Japan in the future, I will spare your life."
The old man said lifelessly.
"I have no hope of living."
Long Piaopiao pondered for a moment.
"We brought out the Qiqiao Exquisite Soil, and it seems like there are living things moving inside. It can accompany you until the end of your life."
The old man shouted in surprise.
"Really? Where is she?"
Zhang Qishan ordered people to carry the Qiqiao exquisite soil in."
Qiqiao Linglongtu felt the old man's breath and began to tremble violently.
The old man caressed the soil gently.
"I promise you that the Eighty-two Village will not provide any help to the Japanese in the future. If necessary, the Eighty-two Village will also help you fight against the Japanese invaders. From now on, you will be my guests in the Eighty-two Village. "
After saying this, the old man stopped talking and just looked at Qiqiao Linglongtu tenderly with his dull eyes.
Long Piaopiao and the others did not bother them and quietly retreated.
The group returned the baby to his parents, rested for a few days in the Eighty-Two Village, and then embarked on the journey back.
Later, it was said that after Long Piaopiao and others left, the old man stayed in the house for two months without going out. It was not until two months later that the old man went out of the room, but the pile of exquisite soil with seven orifices mysteriously disappeared.
There was another legend about this old man before
This old man never sleeps. Every night, he will sit down facing the mountain and look at the mountain with his blind eyes until the sun comes out.
Year after year, no one saw him sleeping. His behavior was considered to be waiting for someone. He seems to have been waiting for someone to come out of the mountains...
