Chapter 129

He was dressed sloppily, smelly and desperate. In short, he was a walking corpse. If there were any other possibility to kill me before that, I wouldn't stick to my face and find Xu Changfu.

"How many people followed them into the mountain?"

"Four, no, it should be five. Plus their own people, the exact number is twelve." Xu Changfu immediately pointed to the charcoal left on the earth stove and said, "judging from the charcoal left after burning, I'm sure that their group has stayed here for at most three days."

We know the situation of mountain closure by heavy snow, and everyone in the town knows that if we hadn't happened to find a breakthrough in Xu Changfu, we would still stop wandering in the town. However, when it was not in line with the right time and place, except for our special circumstances, another group of people ventured into the mountain to collect ginseng. Moreover, they hung a heavy reward and hired local guides. The price offered was as high as more than 200000. Not to mention the cold weather and hard to find snow nowadays, even if they are really lucky and want to earn back more than 200000 reward price, how many ginseng should they take so that they won't lose

But anyone who has a brain can also see that there is an obvious loss business

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Seeing that I was distracted, Jiang Yilong pushed me and asked, "younger martial brother, what do you think?"

I waved my hand and said, "nothing."

The thatched shed withstood the wind and snow, but the temperature inside was not much better. In addition, it was dark now, and there was little physical energy left after traveling all the way. Seeing that we didn't continue to ask about this matter, Xu Changfu quickly put down his hunting gun and took the large tank on the earth stove outside to wash it with ice and snow, A pot full of frozen snow was set on fire in the earthen stove. Firewood crackled and burned for more than ten minutes, and there was a feeling of greenhouse in the straw shed.

We ate dry food and it was not early. In addition, we had to continue on our way tomorrow. We simply sat around and slept on our clothes.

But at this time, I didn't feel sleepy. My mind couldn't help thinking of the group of people Xu Changfu said before. It may be the movement I made that woke Xu Changfu. He leaned close to me and said, "Xiao Qi, are you worried about being preempted by them?"

I nodded and said, "a little."

He smiled and said, "Hey, you can put a hundred hearts on this."

"Why?" I said.

"Although bailigou is piled up with sticks and hammers, the geographical environment is special. In addition, there is no human habitation in the deep mountains and forests. If it doesn't work well, it will lead to human life. Outsiders don't know, and no one in the local people will take the risk."

"You're not taking us to bailigou yet."

"That said, I think they must just pass by. At most, only two or three percent of them may go to bailigou. Forget it. It's not early. We have to catch up for most of the day tomorrow and have an early rest."

Xu Changfu stopped paying attention to me, moved away and slept against the pillar.

I don't know how long later, a strange noise suddenly woke us up from our sleep. While we were still confused, Xu Changfu was very dignified. Before we asked him, he picked up a burning firewood on the earth stove, took a shotgun and left the hut. In a few minutes, there was no movement outside the hut, but Xu Changfu did not return.

"What the hell is he doing?"

"I'll go with you."

Just before I got up and went to the door of the thatched shed, I was unprepared. Suddenly, there was a bang of a gun. I was surprised. It was obvious that Xu Changfu had just shot.

"Uncle Xu..."

After shouting several times, Xu Changfu didn't reply, but just as I opened the hut door tremblingly, Xu Changfu bumped into me. "Uncle Xu, did you put the gun just now?"

Xu Changfu was livid and nodded.

Roland said, "well, what kind of gun did you shoot? It scared us all."

Jiang Yilong said, "Uncle Xu, don't be stunned. Just say something."

Xu Changfu looked at the four of us and held it for a long time before he said, "why don't we go back now."

His casual remark caught us off guard again.

"Go back? Now?"

Xu Changfu affirmed, "yes, it's now."

Roland was about to scold Xu Changfu. I hurriedly asked, "is something wrong?"

"We're being watched."

"Being watched?"

"If you don't go back the same way now, you may have to kill people."

Xu Changfu said a few sentences in succession, but he couldn't connect at all. We were confused and didn't understand the situation at all.

"Haven't you asked me before why even our local people dare not come to the place where bailigou sticks and hammers are piled up." Xu changfuton said: "It is said that there is a monster called blood monkey in bailigou. It has a green face and tusks. It has infinite power. It specializes in eating people and drinking blood. Some ginseng collectors have been to bailigou before. Anyway, few can come back alive. Later, bailigou has become a taboo for our local people."

"Blood monkey?"

"Just now when I went out, I saw a snow monkey nearby. If I was lucky, I should have hit it."

"Blood monkey, hey, it's new. It's the first time to listen to it." Jiang Yilong suddenly became interested and said, "since you hit it, it's half dead now. Otherwise, we'll go out and find the blood nearby. I'll see what the blood monkey looks like at the end."

Xu Changfu said in a deep voice, "Oh, Xiaojiang, it seems that you don't quite understand. In fact, I don't know whether I hit it or not. Even if it's right, I'm lucky. I shot it just now, but I'm sure I didn't kill it. Therefore, we should leave here right away."

I said, "why?"

"Because blood monkeys live in groups and have a strong sense of revenge. It's difficult to deal with one. If they come to a group, they won't tear us alive."

"So powerful?"

"Don't think that the blood monkey is just a legend, but a fact."

We don't know whether Xu Changfu exaggerates deliberately or seriously. However, it's not easy to come here now. We can reach bailigou in half a day, so it's naturally closer to our goal. Now let's go back the same way. Roland naturally wants to, but the three of us insist.

Xu Changfu has been waiting for our answer. I thought for a long time, but I couldn't make up my mind for a moment. I simply said, "Uncle Xu, calm down first and don't be nervous. Well, tell me where the blood monkey was found just now. I'll go out with my senior brother and make a decision at that time."

"It's in the forest in the East, no more than 100 meters."

I let Xu Changfu stay in the hut. After all, he has a shotgun. He can resist any sudden situation for a while. Jiang Yilong and I each took a half meter long machete, left the hut and looked for it according to Xu Changfu's position.
