Chapter 119 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
Tang Gumeng trembled all over, let go of his hand, the wooden stick slipped down, took a step back, and bumped into Xi Rong behind him.

Xi Rong groaned when he was hit, and his eyes fell on Tang Guyeng.

"What's wrong?" Xi Rong stretched out his hand, grabbed Tang Gumeng who was about to fall, and asked worriedly.

Tang Gumeng pretended to be calm and replied: "It's okay, there was a black shadow running past just now, and I was taken aback unexpectedly, it's okay now, let's move on."

"Stand still," Xi Rong said, bent down to pick up the small wooden stick just now, and looked through the grass, but found nothing.

"It should be a pheasant or a wild rabbit. We disturbed them, so we rushed over, don't be afraid." He turned around to comfort Tang Gumeng, and Xi Rong pushed aside the grass on the other side to look.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Xi Rong turned around and asked, "This time I will go ahead, so follow along."

"Okay", Tang Gumeng nodded.

Xi Rong walked in front, holding a stick in his left hand and behind him in his right hand, pulling on Tang Gumeng's sleeve.Tang Guyeng looked at the road under his feet, and followed closely behind Xi Rong.

Accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, the two walked forward gradually.

As it went deeper, the surrounding became more and more silent, Tang Guyeng couldn't help but grabbed Xi Rong's hand.

"It's okay, I'm here." Sensing Tang Guyeng's nervousness, Xi Rong comforted softly.

As he said that, he paused for a step, getting closer to Tang Gumeng.

"Are there really wolves and tigers in this mountain?" Tang Gumeng looked for a topic.

Xi Rong carefully explored the way, and replied: "There must be wolves. I have seen them before, at least three, but they may be on the other side of the mountain. The chances of encountering them are not too high. I am not sure about the tiger, but the villagers You shouldn't be telling lies!"

Tang Gumeng Qi Qiran: "Then we have to be careful, when I came out, shouldn't I bring an ax?"

Xi Rong smiled: "The ax is quite heavy, and it will be a drag. I brought a saber, so it should be fine. Anyway, if you encounter it, you should leave quickly and leave me alone."

"That won't work, we came together," Tang Gumeng said with great loyalty.

Xi Rong gave a low laugh: "If you don't go first, how can you find me a rescuer?"

"Oh yes."

While talking, Tang Guyeng relaxed a lot, and started chatting with Xi Rong.

Tang Guyeng said: "This is the second time I have come to such a deep place."

Xi Rong: "When was the first time?"

Tang Gumeng looked around: "Ten years ago, when I just remembered, there was a boy in the village who turned 12 and was brought here to salute."

"Come to salute in the deep mountains and old forests?" Xi Rong was a little strange.

"Yes, this is a unique custom in our village. When a boy reaches the age of 12, he will be taken up the mountain by the elders of the village, and he will salute and unlock in a small temple to show that he has grown up."

"The mouth of the temple is usually not placed in such a deep place?"

Generally speaking, the purpose of building temples is to offer sacrifices, and most of them are located in places where believers can easily arrive. It was the first temple to be built in deep mountains and old forests.

When things go wrong, there must be a demon, Xi Rong smelled something unusual: "Do you remember where that temple is?"

Tang Gumeng shook: "I don't remember, but I remember walking for a long time before arriving."

"Let's just look for a temple. I guess there is a big problem there."

"Uh-huh"

Tang Gumeng followed Xi Rong a little bit deeper, his walking feet were weak, so he could only sit down and rest.

"Are there really tigers and wolves in this deep mountain? For so long, I haven't even seen a small animal," Tang Gumeng said.

Now, Xi Rong said with certainty: "Yes, the quieter the mountain, the more likely it is that ferocious beasts will emerge. There are no other small animals. The biggest possibility is that most of the animals in this place have become food for ferocious beasts."

Tang Gumeng gulped down his breath: "Really? Don't lie to me."

"It's better to be careful with the experience left by our ancestors," Xi Rong said.

Tang Gumeng screwed on the kettle: "Then let's go quickly, find it early, and leave early."

"Well, after you rest, we'll go."

Tang Gumeng stood up immediately: "I've rested, let's go."

"Ah - woo", there was a roar of tigers, from far to near.

Tang Guyeng stopped and looked around: "Did you hear anything?"

"It's the roar of a tiger", Xi Rong's answer confirmed Tang Guyeng's guess.

"But it's far away from us, don't worry," Xi Rong's explanation made Tang Gumeng heave a sigh of relief.

"Can you tell where it is?" Tang Gu Mengzhan asked.

"Northeast direction, let's go in another direction, so as not to run into each other from behind," Xi Rong said, then turned his head and walked in another direction.

The two walked aimlessly in the huge mountain, Xi Rong looked at his watch, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, but he still didn't find anything.

"what--"

Tang Gumeng screamed, Xi Rong was pulled by gravity and took a big step forward when he turned his head. He reached out and grabbed a branch before barely standing still.

"How is it? Are you injured?" Tang Gumeng's hand was tightened, and he asked worriedly.

"I sprained my ankle, but my feet are solid, let me go first, and then find a way down," Tang Gumeng said with difficulty, standing on tiptoe.

"Are you sure?" Xi Rong worried that Tang Guyeng said it on purpose, and asked again.

"Yes, my toes just hit the ground."

Xi Rong didn't let go immediately: "Well, I'll let go slowly, and tell me after you're sure that your feet are firmly planted."

After finishing speaking, Xi Rong bent down and slowly moved his arms down.

"I'm standing firm." After a while, Tang Gumeng's voice came.

"Okay, then I'll let go." After Xi Rong finished speaking, he let go of Tang Guyeng's hand: "Stay where you are and don't move. I'm going down now."

"it is good"

The place where Tang Gumeng fell was a bush. Xi Rong couldn't see what was going on underground. For safety's sake, he didn't jump directly. He continued along the path ahead and walked about 30 meters before he saw the way down.

When she got to Tang Gumeng's side, she saw Tang Gumeng squatting on the ground, a bush half a meter high blocked her.

Xi Rong pushed aside the bushes and squatted down: "Come up first, find a flat place to see your injury."

"it is good"

The sudden fall made Tang Gumeng seriously injured, not wanting to worry Xi Rong, so he endured it all the time, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Lying on Xi Rong's back, Tang Gumeng leaned his head on his shoulder, and said embarrassedly: "I'm dragging you down today."

"It's okay, let's find a flat place to check the injury, and then go out directly", Xi Rong gave up the thought of investigating further.

"En", Tang Gumeng replied in a muffled voice, feeling a little sorry, and looked up into the distance.

Suddenly, Tang Guyeng patted Xi Rong's shoulder: "Xi Rong, I saw it."
