Seeing the jackal charging towards me with its fangs and claws bared, my eyes immediately lit up, and the expression on my face became extremely excited.
Just now I was telling Mr. Lame that I wanted to hunt a jackal and roast it whole.
I didn't expect one to come so soon.
When the jackal pounced in front of me, I quickly turned sideways to avoid the jackal's sharp claws. At the same time, I stretched out my palm and punched it suddenly, hitting the jackal on the head.
"Ouch..."
The jackal howled in pain after being hit by me. It looked like a kite with its string broken. It flew more than a meter away and hit the stone wall next to it before rolling to the ground.
The jackal quickly got up and walked towards me, shaking his head.
But he was shaky when he walked.
Just like Sun Laizi played too hard with girls last night, and the next day he was showing off when he walked.
"cough……"
Before he had even taken two steps, the jackal opened his mouth wide and coughed up bright red blood.
The jackal stood still and looked at me with fear in its greedy eyes. Then it turned around and wanted to leave.
After taking a few shaky steps, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Then he kicked his legs and died.
"sharp!"
Sun Laizi burst into laughter with excitement. He did not expect that my explosive power would be so terrifying. I could kill a jackal with just one punch.
"Master Lame, you are in luck. We can roast wolf meat tonight."
I smiled and looked up at the woods in front of me.
Jackals are social animals and never hunt alone. At this time, there were still four jackals entrenched in the woods.
The four jackals looked at us with ferocious glances.
In the end, he didn't act rashly.
The pack of jackals turned away and disappeared into the woods.
Watching the group of jackals leave, I felt surprised and said: "The resources here are rich. Jackals are in groups. If we are here, it will be difficult to see one in a lifetime."
"If we get to Shennong Mountain, there will be even more ferocious birds and beasts."
Sun Laizi smacked his lips, took a puff of cigarette and said, "But the biggest threat in that area is not those ferocious birds and beasts."
"The biggest threat is the mountain spirits and ghosts in Shennong Mountain, right?"
"correct."
Sun Laizi said, "Moreover, Shennong Mountain is very evil. Even the local residents do not dare to venture into the depths of Shennong Mountain."
"How evil?"
"I can't explain this matter in one or two sentences. I'll explain it later when we get to Shennong Mountain."
Sun Laizi smiled and said: "Although neither of us has the strength of half a bucket of water, I have made many friends with the local residents. If we ask them to lead the way, we can escape safely."
After the two of us chatted, we continued on our way.
I was carrying Ji Guyue on my back and the jackal in my hand.
This jackal is fat and strong, weighing nearly sixty pounds.
But even if I carry Ji Guyue on my back and a jackal in my hand, I still don't blush or breath, and I walk very easily.
Just my stomach growling with hunger.
I've been a little unusual these past two days. I get hungry very quickly and have to eat four or five times a day.
The amount of food is three times as much as before.
I usually eat two bowls of rice, but now I have to eat six bowls.
Yesterday I ate at Boss Li's restaurant. Boss Li was shocked and even Sun Zizi was shocked. He didn't expect that I could eat so well.
Today I was on a mountain road and I finished all the dry food I brought.
Including Ji Guyue and Sun Laizi's share.
"Chang Sheng, are you hungry again?"
Sun Laizi was walking in front of me. When he heard my stomach growling, he looked at me strangely and said, "Half an hour ago, you ate five steamed buns. Why are you getting hungry so fast? You are almost going to be a meal." Yes, have you been able to eat like this before?"
"I didn't eat so much before, maybe my appetite has improved these days."
I smiled bitterly and asked: "How long until we reach the village where we will stay?"
"Coming."
However, after we had driven for more than half an hour, Sun Laizi stopped and pointed to the mountainside a hundred meters ahead.
And I looked up and saw a village halfway up the mountain.
The size of the village is not large, similar to our Zhutou Village, with a population of only forty or fifty households.
The houses built are mud houses made of mud.
The roof of the mud house is covered with thick thatch.
Although a mud house like this is simple and crude, it is warm in winter and cool in summer and very comfortable to live in.
Because our house is like this kind of mud house.
"That's Jimao Village!"
Sun Laizi smiled and said, "I have a friend in Jimao Village. We will settle down in Jimao Village tonight."
"Master Cripple, you have really great connections. We have been friends all the way."
"If you have many friends, this road will be easier."
Sun Laizi smiled proudly and led us to Jimao Village.
The location of Jimao Village is precarious. There is an abyss ten meters away from the entrance of the village. There are no guardrails, which is a great safety hazard.
There is also a tattered stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village, with the three words "Jimao Village" engraved on it.
The village is very quiet, there are no dogs barking.
We walked into Jimao Village after taking a quick look, and saw a little boy lying in the grass.
The little boy was only seven or eight years old, with only skin and bones remaining on his skinny body, looking like a mummy.
"Why is this doll so thin?"
Sun Laizi frowned and walked over and shouted several times, but the little boy didn't respond and lay motionless in the grass.
"Why don't you make any noise, baby? Are you asleep?"
Sun Laizi turned the little boy's body over. When he saw the little boy's face, his pupils suddenly tightened and the expression on the old face froze.
The little boy is dead.
After death, their eyes were wide open, showing a very frightened and painful expression.
We looked at it and suddenly gasped.
"This child died an unnatural death."
I looked at him and said, "He is as skinny as a stick, and his skin and flesh are shriveled. This is obviously because the evil spirit has drained away the yang energy."
As I was talking, I saw a centipede crawling out of the little boy's mouth.
More than one centipede.
Three centipedes crawled out one after another.
These three centipedes were all black and as thick as an adult's little finger. After crawling out of the little boy's mouth, they quickly disappeared into the grass and disappeared.
"What's going on?"
I looked at it in surprise and said, "How come there are three centipedes crawling out of this baby's body?"
"He was not drained of his yang energy by evil spirits."
Sun Laizi frowned and said, "It was poisoned by someone else. The centipedes that crawled out of the doll's mouth just now were all centipede poisons."
"Centipede Gu?"
I was shocked.
"correct."
Sun Laizi nodded, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly ran towards the village.
When I rushed over, I saw Sun Laizi standing there like a dumbfounded chicken, looking around, eyes wide with shock.
As far as the eye could see, Jimao Village was littered with corpses.
Both men and women, old and young.
The death was miserable.
The corpses of the villagers were just like the little boy at the entrance of the village. Their shriveled bodies were only skin and bones, and their faces were full of pain after death.
The bodies of some villagers had bloody scratches on their heads, and their fingernails were covered in blood and hair.
Some villagers were lying on the ground with their limbs bent.
There is no doubt that the villagers in Jimao Village were all poisoned to death by others.
Then before dying, they all experienced inhuman pain.
This scene is so tragic that it reminds me of our villagers in Zhutou Village, who were slaughtered to the point of leaving no chickens or dogs alive.
Now something like this happened again in Jimao Village.
Even though the villagers here are neither relatives nor relatives of me, they still make me surge with grief and anger, spreading in my heart like a spring.
In the mud embryo room next to it, I saw the dead woman at the door, with a baby in her arms.
The baby, only two to three months old, was also killed.
"Even the baby is not spared. Who is so heartless?"
Sun Laizi was very sad and his whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ma De, is it the Miao Gu clan? But this is impossible..."
"Miaojiang Gu Clan?" I looked suspicious.
