405 The God of Niushan
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Han Feng and Xu Zilin arrived at Shenniu Mountain under the guidance of the old man. At first glance, the mountain was not big, but at the side facing Han Feng and Xu Zilin, the center of the mountain was hollowed out into a big gap. It was indeed strange that when other places were covered with a thick layer of snow, the entire Shenniu Mountain, which was not majestic, was just covered with a thin layer of snow, and many places even exposed the original gray-brown landform of the mountain.
There is also a dirt house at the foot of Shenniu Mountain. The dirt house is covered with cracks, and the spiders under the eaves are densely covered with spiders of different sizes and types are waiting patiently in the center of the spider web. Some have even died because of the cold winter. But such a black, toxic thing lying quietly in the middle of the spider web is enough to make people creepy.
Outside the earthen house is a small courtyard. This courtyard is different from the one in Niu Village Chief’s house. It has no stone walls, but is only laid out on the periphery of this earthen house that may collapse at any time, so it is listed as a small courtyard.
The yard is filled with rectangular wooden boxes, with small holes in the wooden boxes, and layers of worn-out bedding are wrapped around the wooden boxes. If they are closer, you may hear the occasional buzzing sound from the wooden boxes.
"This family actually raises bumblebees!" Han Feng was a little different. In this era when he couldn't even eat enough, it was rare to beekeeping as a profession.
The old man who led the way for the two of them had already left because of other things, and the next journey was only for Han Feng and Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin said: "Maybe it's the ancestral craft! During the Qing Dynasty, many beekeepers specialized in beekeeping and making honey, and provided it to the royal relatives and nobles. That is, this beekeeper was not here, otherwise we could ask him for a bite of honey to taste it."
Han Feng looked at the precarious earthen house. The wooden door was closed and there was a lock on the outside. He couldn't understand why the earthen house looked almost collapsed. Why didn't the owner repair it? Even if there was no material to repair it, he could live in the empty houses outside the village! Although the houses there were a lot of dust, they were safer than this dangerous house!
"Old Xu, there is a small road up the mountain there, let's go up here and take a look!"
Han Feng carried a hoe to lead the way, and Xu Zilin followed behind him.
As mentioned before, Shenniu Mountain is not big. In about half an hour, Han Feng and Xu Zilin arrived at the hillside of Shenniu Mountain.
The people stood in the hollowed-out part of Shenniu Mountain. They didn’t feel spectacular when they looked down from the mountain. At this moment, they were shocked when they stood in front of this huge vacancy.
The hollowed-out part of the mountain has an inclined surface, with an inclination angle of about 35 degrees. To give an analogy, it is like digging a huge step on the hillside of the mountain. Han Feng and Xu Zilin are standing on the horizontal plane of the steps, and then facing the inclined surface that is up to four or five meters high.
In late December, it had just snowed heavily again. In the morning, people were in the quiet forest and felt very empty and dead. But there was actually someone here. A man wearing a patch and wearing a pair of straw sandals was constantly digging the gap in the mountain with a hoe.
He turned his head, his face dark, slightly hungry, his eyes were sunken, his cheeks were thin, and he smiled at the two outsiders, Han Feng and Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin said: "What are you doing in fellow countryman?"
After a middle-aged man looked at Xu Zilin and Han Feng, he ignored the two of them and continued to bow his head to dig on the mountain. When he heard Xu Zilin's inquiry, he replied: "Uh, you're digging the bones of the sacred cow!"
"Then have you dug it up? Can you lend it to us? We are the Eighth Route Army, who came from outside the village. I heard that there is a Shenniu Mountain here and the bones of the Shenniu. I was curious and came here to take a look. We have never seen the bones of the Shenniu!"
"You are not the time to come. The bones of this divine cow are difficult to dig in winter. They can usually be dug in spring and summer. In recent years, there have been more people in the village, and the bones of the divine cow are becoming less and less common. I have been digging for almost a morning, but I still haven't dug a piece."
The man seemed very emotional and had a very stubborn personality. After saying that, he continued to dig the wall with a hoe, "Well, I will definitely dig up the bones of the sacred cow today."
Han Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and the place became more and more interesting. After hearing what the old man said, he and Xu Zilin didn't believe in the legend about the Shenniu Mountain, but as they got closer, everything around seemed to confirm this legend.
Could it be that there are really bones of divine cows in this Shenniu Mountain? And the efficacy of the treatment is so magical?
Han Feng and Xu Zilin looked at each other and almost thought of going together.
dig
Dig out a piece of divine cow bone and see what it is. This world is always full of wonders. If it really has that magical and amazing healing effect, it may be used in battle.
After thinking about it, I realized the huge effect of this. A soldier was shot through his body by a bullet and sprinkled a little of the divine cow bone powder. In less than half an hour, the wound was healed, and the soldier became energetic again and continued to fight against the enemy with his guns.
But just thinking about it in his mind, Han Feng abandoned this idea. He didn't know if it was ridiculous to come here, but at least this matter seemed very ridiculous to him.
"Old Xu, please dodge a little and I'll try digging." Han Feng raised the hoe high and smashed it hard on the mountain ground under his feet. Perhaps the soil was too loose and the hoe was deeply trapped in.
The middle-aged man who was knocking and beating next to him spoke, "Doll, you didn't dig the divine cow bones like this, you have to do it gently. Also, the divine cow bones are not usually stepped on under our feet. How could the divine cow be stepped on? The divine cow is very tall. If you want to get the divine cow bones, just dig it like me!"
Han Feng smiled at the middle-aged man, but did not pull out the hoe, but pried the hoe handle and turned out the piece of soil that was sunken in.
I was stunned... This was so lucky. The index finger was long, the two fingers were wide, and slightly bent, and the bone pieces that were almost rectangular were really dug out.
Han Feng took out the bone slice and handed it to Xu Zilin, and gestured for a look. Xu Zijin immediately understood it. He asked, "My fellow villager, please help us see if the bone we dug out is a divine cow bone?"
The man was stunned, looking at the bone handed over by Xu Zilin, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How did you dig it?"
Xu Zilin pointed to the deep pit on the ground that was dug out by Han Feng with a hoe, "It was dug in this pit."
"You are so lucky. You can actually dig up divine bones in this place. You are the ones blessed by the divine cow!"
As the two were talking, Han Feng from the other side suddenly said, "Old Xu, I dug another tooth here. Show it to my fellow villagers, what is this."
"The teeth of the divine cow! Oh my god, this kind of thing is not easy to dig. There are only those teeth in the divine cow. The people in our village have only dug two. How did you do it?"
Han Feng had no choice but to spread his hands and pointed to the deep pit dug with a hoe. This thing doesn't seem to be that difficult!
