Old man Jing Shou was quite particular. He hired two young men who stayed in the village to be responsible for clearing the road ahead and providing supplies needed to climb over the mountain. In addition, he also led two local native dogs and hounds, and his little

The grandson also followed.

Brothers Lin Kun, Tongshan, and Long Benxiang brought their belongings and followed them. Normally, they would have to wait until early the next morning to set off, but Mr. Jing Shou said that he had known about the mountains behind the village since he was a child.

Climbing on it, you can take Lin Kun and the others there with your eyes closed. Now you can use the flashlight light to move forward at night, wait until nearly midnight to set up camp and rest, and then continue to set off at dawn the next day. In this way, the next day's evening

Then you can completely get out of this mountain.

When we first entered the mountain, dusk was thickening on the horizon. The mountain forests were tall and dense, and the thick vegetation became more and more difficult to walk as we went deeper. Fortunately, there were two local young people in front of us to open the way. These two young people said they were young.

, are actually in their thirties. They don't look strong, but they are very strong. This is the result of years of doing farm work.

When the sun went down, the group's march slowed down. In the woods at night, there were many rustling sounds, including those made by wild beasts, some made by Kun Chong, and some made by trees in the forest. During the day

Sometimes these sounds exist, but people walking among them don't pay much attention to them. In the dead of night, every sound can be amplified by the silence.

Lin Kun and Tongshan walked in the middle of the team, followed by the Long Benxiang brothers and three brothers. Lin Kun had Xiaohai Holly on his shoulders, Xiao Huihui followed beside him, and the big snake and two other rattlesnakes followed secretly.

The grandson of Mr. Jing Shou was originally quite afraid of Xiao Huihui and Xiaohai Holly, but children also have natural curiosity. He slowed down as he walked, came to Lin Kun, and asked him about Xiao Huihui and Xiaohai Holly.

The question is, after it was determined that Xiao Huihui was a wolf and Xiaohai Holly was an eagle, the fearful light in the little guy's eyes was covered up by surprise and admiration, and he looked at Lin Kun with eyes filled with admiration.

People are kind-hearted. For a child from the countryside, the most he can learn is the cunning and short-lived behavior of a small farmer. He likes to use a few curse words when speaking. It is not necessarily because the child is a bastard. On the contrary, he himself feels that this is very majestic.

After chatting for a while, the little guy told Lin Kun that his name was Isutamaru. His parents had gone to work in the city and had not been back for several years. He and his grandfather had always been dependent on each other. He felt that he was more precocious than the children in the village.

, he longed to become an adult quickly so that he could go to the city to work and be with his parents.

When Isudamaru talked about his parents, his face looked very excited. He said that his father was the strongest man in the village, and that his mother was the most beautiful woman in the village.

He took out a letter written by his parents from his bag and showed it to Lin Kun.

The handwriting on the letter was very sloppy, and it was a thick stack. Isudamaru really hoped that Lin Kun could read the letters from his parents. These letters were precious things to the little guy, and he really hoped that Lin Kun could read them.

, regarded Lin Kun as a friend.

Isudamaru raised the flashlight high and helped Lin Kun shine it. Lin Kun spread out some of the letters. The handwriting on them was very sloppy. Perhaps Isudamaru's parents didn't read many books and lived in remote areas all their lives.

People in rural areas, even in island countries with a high level of education, may not have read a few books for most of their lives.

But after reading a few letters, Lin Kun felt more and more something was wrong. The contents of the letters were single, almost always telling the same thing, and many of the sentences were not fluent. Even if Isudamaru's parents had never read a book,

, but after staying in the city for many years, at least the cultural level should have improved.

Lin Kun raised his head and looked at the old man Jing Shou in front of him. Old man Jing Shou turned his head from time to time and saw Lin Kun looking towards him with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Lin Kun read the letters one by one carefully, and Isudamaru reminded him from time to time, "Uncle, be careful, don't damage the new one my parents gave me, be careful..."

The first half of the night went smoothly, which surprised old man Jing Shou and the two young men. When they found a camp beside a stream in the middle of the mountain, Lin Kun and old man Jing Shou sat together, and old man Jing Shou watched.

Xiao Huihui and Hai Dongqing on the side murmured: "It's really strange. Maybe it has something to do with them two."

As he was talking, there was a rustle in the grass, and the big snake and its two rattlesnake brothers came out. Old man Jing Shou immediately added: "There are them too."

After saying that, old man Jing Shou looked at Lin Kun, "Young man, are you a great animal trainer?"

Lin Kun called the big snake over and touched its scales. The big snake coiled in front of him. Lin Kun smiled and said: "I'm not an animal trainer. They are all my friends. Old sir, you think it's strange."

, you mean what’s weird?”

Lin Kun took out the cigarette and handed it to old man Jing Shou. Old man Jing Shou took the cigarette and put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, opened his big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a good smoke."

Lin Kun took out his lighter and lit it for him. Old man Jing Shou took a puff of his cigarette and looked like he was enjoying it. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the dark surroundings and said, "This mountain is Devil's Mountain.

Yes, there are many wild beasts in the mountains here. Those wild beasts appear and disappear, and they suddenly appear and attack. It is difficult for people to move in this place full of thorns.

We can't escape or hide, but we just heard some noises along the way, but no one jumped out to attack. So I think it must have something to do with the wolves, eagles, and snakes you brought with you. The alertness of animals

They are all very tall. They must have felt the danger and therefore did not dare to come out. Otherwise, the two native dogs and hounds I brought would not be able to deter them at all."

Lin Kun looked at Isutamaru, who was playing with two local hounds not far away, and said: "Old sir, are your son and daughter-in-law really working in the city?"

The old man Jing Shou stopped holding the cigarette, with a sad expression on his face, and he let out a long sigh. With this sigh, he seemed to be getting older, "My son and daughter-in-law are already gone."

No more, there was an accident the first year they went to the city. I asked someone to secretly transport their ashes back to their hometown for burial. Considering that the child was too young, I never told him. I just hoped that he would be able to bear it when he grows up.

, and tell him that he is already an orphan."

Tears fell from the eyes of old man Jing Shou. The most cunning and cunning old man in the village was like a skinny and sad old wolf.

Two young men tied up fish in the book. There were big fish swimming in the mountain stream. These big fish had not seen people for months. When the flashlight shone down, they were already sleeping. Just use the tree to catch them.

The harpoon made of twigs can be stabbed accurately.

The smell of grilled fish came to his nostrils. Tongshan and the two young men started working together. While grilling the fish, they made gestures to communicate with each other about their barbecue experience. Although they couldn't understand what each other was saying, they made a haha ​​from time to time.

laughing out loud.

Long Benxiang and his three brothers had been sitting in front of a temporary tent. In front of them was a small fire with a small iron pot for making soup. In the pot were wild vegetables picked from the mountains.

Mushrooms and the first two fish caught.
