Chapter 150

Will Wuhuishan eat people?Yan Wanwan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he looked very interested, "Can eat people? Mountains can also eat people?"

"Girl, don't think I'm joking, this Wuhui Mountain is really evil. I've heard the old man in my family say since I was a child that there are mountain ghosts living in Wuhui Mountain, and the mountain ghosts have a family of servants who serve it. , with Yingluo Gorge as the boundary, further inside is the private realm of the mountain ghost, anyone who tries to trespass will be punished by the mountain ghost."

"At first, I thought it was a lie made up by the ancestors. It must be that the Yingluo Gorge is more dangerous and the wild beasts are rampant. In order to prevent the world from taking risks, I made up this lie. But Our family has always abided by the words of our ancestors, and generations have never crossed that line."

"Until 20 years ago..." Hu Yonggui stared at the jumping flames, his eyes were dazed because he was caught in memories, "Although our family mainly lives on collecting herbs, Wuhui Mountain is uniquely endowed with many rare medicinal materials and Timber. Occasionally, people who want to go into the mountains to find specific wood and medicinal materials will hire us to guide them, just like...you two."

"That year, a group of people came and said they were the largest spice merchants in Jiangbei. They heard from nowhere that there might be valuable agarwood in the mountains. They came to my house to lead them the way and gave a lot It is said that the whole mountain will be searched. That amount of money is too much for our family, and my father has to be moved."

"Besides, my father, like me, probably thought that the story of the mountain ghost was just a lie, so he agreed to this errand, and for the sake of prudence, he brought all the brothers below me into the mountain."

"But who knows, it was the only exception that time, which offended the mountain ghost..." At this point, Hu Yonggui's face was pale, and his eyes were full of horror, "Mr. Yan, Miss Yan, don't think these absurd things It’s unbelievable, if you’re not afraid of [-], just in case, what do you think?”

Hu Yonggui rubbed his hands vigorously, "At first I was selfish and worried that if I said it, I would not be able to make this deal, but when I got here, my conscience really couldn't bear it. Both of you are good people, I can't just watch you go to your death! "Hu Yonggui persuaded him sincerely.

Yan Wanwan and Yan Zheng still looked calm, Yan Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Uncle Hu for your kindness, but we have a reason to go, so we can only live up to Uncle Hu's kindness."

Hu Yonggui rolled his throat twice, watching them hesitate to speak, and finally saw that the expressions of the two were always calm and determined, and the full words came to their lips, leaving only a sigh.

"Uncle Hu, you just said the legend of the mountain ghost in Wuhui Mountain, did those spice merchants have an accident with your family 20 years ago?" Yan Wanwan asked with a smile.

"It should be!" Hu Yonggui rolled his throat with difficulty.

"Should?" Yan Wanwan was suspicious, and exchanged glances with Yan Zheng instead.

"When they were found, there were only severed limbs left. Except for a few people who could barely recognize their faces, others could only be judged from the broken fabrics and other traces. I collected the bones of my father and brothers. They Those who stood outside also took their men away, and they have not been seen since."

Seeing the pain on Hu Yonggui's face, Yan Wanwan knew that he had mentioned his sadness, so he felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry."

Yan Zheng sighed with a smile, "Uncle Hu, since the legend of the mountain ghost has a long history, and something like that happened 20 years ago, everyone should pay more attention to Yingluoxia, but how did I hear that the 13-year-old A few days ago, officers and soldiers and many unidentified people entered the mountain?"

When Yan Zheng said these words, his tone was very casual, but his eyes were fixed on Hu Yonggui's face, not letting go of even the slightest change in his expression.

Hu Yonggui really froze slightly.

Yan Zheng didn't realize it, and continued to ask with a smile, "I'm really curious about Wuhui Mountain, so I inquired a lot about it before I came. Wuhui Mountain was surrounded by water, and it seems that people died later?"

Hearing this, Hu Yonggui finally came to his senses trembling slightly, but he seemed to be shocked. When he moved his hand, he touched the flames, burned his skin, and felt the pain, so he pulled his hand belatedly. When he came back, with a "hiss", Jing raised his eyes and looked across the fire.Both Yan Zheng and Yan Wanwan looked over the fire with curiosity on their faces. The shapes of their eyes were different, but the expressions in their eyes were very similar. They were both curious and full of sharp inquiries.

Hu Yonggui's heart froze slightly, and he answered in a tense voice after a long while, "I don't know what happened that year, but the officers and soldiers did surround Wuhui Mountain, and no one was allowed to approach, probably for about a month, officers and soldiers They gradually withdrew. Before the withdrawal, there was a strict order that no one was allowed to go up the mountain. For almost three years, all the mountain passes were guarded by officers and soldiers. Many families in this town lived on these mountain products. They've almost lost their livelihood."

"But it is said that there are many forks in the mountain of Wuhui, and the forest is deep and dangerous. If you are not familiar with the mountain road, it is easy to enter. How did these people and officers and soldiers enter the mountain of Wuhui? Didn't someone invite Uncle Hu or someone else? Leading the way?" Yan Zhengxiao asked slightly, but there was a thorn in every word.

Hu Yonggui choked, his eyes were wide open, staring at the jumping flames as if in a daze, he didn't speak for a while, Yan Zheng and Yan Wanwan didn't rush him, they just smiled and looked at him slightly.

I don't know how long it took, there were several crackles in the fire, sparks splashed, Hu Yonggui parted his lips and laughed, "I didn't expect Mr. Yan to inquire so carefully, but since Mr. Yan knows all these things , don’t you know that the officers and soldiers gave the people in the town a gag order before they left? Don’t say that I don’t know anything, even if I know, I can’t say it. It will make things difficult for me."

"It was just a long night of boredom, so I led Uncle Hu to tell us about ancient times. If Uncle Hu didn't tell us, we naturally couldn't force you to embarrass you. It's our fault. I'm sorry." Yan Wanwan laughed Circus.

The smile on Hu Yonggui's face finally faded, "I don't know why you two entered the mountain, what should be said, what should not be said, I have said a lot, but I still can't dissuade you, then I won't do anything unnecessary I will send the two of you to Yingluo Gorge in the future, if you still insist on entering the mountain, then I will have to part ways with you as we agreed earlier."

After Hu Yonggui finished speaking, he stood up, "After talking for a long time, it's getting late at night. I'm no better than you young people. I'm a little sleepy now, so I'll go to bed first. You two can do whatever you want." Even if he turned his head and walked to the other end, he was not far away, and chose a gentle and dry rock wall.

Yan Wanwan and Yan Zheng watched as he picked up firewood again, lit a fire, and lay down next to the fire with his clothes on. Neither of them spoke for a while.
