After the divorce, I became a mountain god

“Do you know how many mosquitoes there are?”

Xu Bo'an thought that if there weren't many, he would find a way to step forward and slap the man to death.

Yan Shouyi shook his head and said, "We don't know exactly how many there are. We have encountered about thirty or forty of them so far."

Xu Boan frowned slightly.

As we all know, the mosquitoes that bite people are female mosquitoes.

Male mosquitoes rely on plant nectar, fruit, stem, leaf juice and other foods to survive.

Based on a one-to-one ratio, the mosquitoes encountered by Yan Shouyi and his men, plus the male mosquitoes that did not appear, would number nearly a hundred mosquitoes.

With so many mosquitoes staying in this place, they must be the real bullies!

It may not sound like a big deal, but you have to know that these mosquitoes are the size of calves!
Just imagine, seventy or eighty mosquitoes that big gathered together and stared at you intently.

How about it, is the visual sense here?
Yan Shouyi continued, "These mosquitoes are as big as calves, and each one is extremely ferocious and fearless of life and death. We have never faced such an enemy, so we were caught off guard!"

Mosquitoes are animals that live on instinct. Although they may be afraid, their IQ is not high and they are certainly not afraid.

What's more, in this year of severe drought, it is almost starving to death, so naturally it is not afraid of life or death!
Not to mention mosquitoes, even humans will become much braver and fight to the death when facing a situation where they are sure to die.

For example, the famous Battle of the Water is based on this principle!

Xu Boan asked again: "How many of you have been injured by these mosquitoes!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth with a sad face, and then continued: "This time, we dispatched more than 200 brothers to suppress the bandits. We divided them into five teams and marched separately. Each team has about 40 people. Now, half of the brothers in my team have been injured."

Hearing about the high number of casualties, Xu Bo'an said in astonishment: "What? So many people were bitten by mosquitoes? You are all armed. Even if these mosquitoes are powerful, they are only equal to you in number. How can you be defeated so easily by mosquitoes?"

Yan Shouyi said ashamedly: "We brothers were attacked by mosquitoes at night. By the time we discovered these mosquitoes, more than ten of us had been bitten by them. This was not just a simple bite, but they almost sucked all the blood out of a person! Some of our brothers were not sucked dry of blood because they discovered it in time. They only had a breath left, but they didn't live long!

The remaining dozen of us brothers could only fight and retreat along the way, but how could human legs compare to other people's wings, so several of them were killed on the way. We were lucky to hide here and escaped!"

The more Yan Shouyi spoke, the more sorrowful his face became, and at the same time he felt deeply remorseful.

The seven-foot-tall man had red eyes and seemed to be about to cry.

Xu Bo'an sighed and said, "Okay, now is not the time to be sad, and these things are not what you want to see. Cheer up, crying won't solve any problems!"

An attack during sleep is the most deadly.

While you are sleeping, it is a good time for the other party to take action.

Don't even think about resisting at this time, you will fall asleep directly on the Naihe Bridge in a dream.

In countless classic ancient battles, night attacks have always been a common strategy, which shows that taking action at night is indeed effective!
And everyone knows that mosquito bites are very light. If it doesn't make a few buzzing sounds in your ears, there will be almost no sound.

When you fall asleep at night, you naturally won't hear his calls. Xu Bo'an was often bitten by mosquitoes in the summer. Sometimes he woke up with several bumps on his body. When he felt itchy, he found that the mosquitoes had already flown away.

If someone sucks all your blood out in one gulp, you will never wake up in this life.

Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, I hope you can help! Although I know that to you, all the creatures in the mountains and forests are your people, but these giant mosquitoes have committed many evil deeds and their methods are cruel. If we ignore them and let them develop, these things will grow stronger and stronger, thus affecting the lives of more people! I believe you don't want to see these tragedies in the world."

He is worthy of being a leader, he is capable. Although this matter is reasonable, he is also on his side.

If we look at it from a purely neutral perspective, this is definitely moral kidnapping.

If the true form of this mountain god is a mosquito, and you instigate it to deal with its own kind, it will be furious!
Fortunately, Xu Bo'an is not a self-proclaimed saint, but a real person, so he naturally stands on Yan Shouyi's side.

Eliminating mosquitoes and saving our little people can gain people's respect and even prayers, so why not do it!

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an asked Yan Shouyi: "Yan Shouyi, where is this place now?"

Yan Shouyi said hurriedly: "This is a temple on the hillside. I didn't have any hope at first, but I temporarily hoped that the doors and windows could block the invasion of those terrifying giant mosquitoes. I didn't expect that the plaque enshrined here was actually the honorific title of you, the Mountain God, so I dared to ask you to see it, help me to uphold justice, and save my life!"

As Yan Shouyi finished speaking, several people behind him also spoke up and begged the Mountain God for help!

Xu Bo'an smiled helplessly when he heard this. He waited until the voices of these people became quieter before asking, "I'm not asking you where this temple is. I'm asking you what this place is! Are you safe hiding here?"

In Xu Bo'an's opinion, it would be difficult for such a rotten house to resist such powerful mosquitoes.

Just look up and you will see that the dilapidated roof is a good way in and out.

These frightened little creatures were only concerned with checking the tightness of the doors and windows, but they forgot that mosquitoes can fly and the roof is also a very important channel of attack!
What we need to do now is to figure out exactly where this place is so that we can better start implementing mosquito eradication operations according to relevant opportunities.

Hearing Xu Boan's emphasis, Yan Shouyi raised his hand and pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment.

After the coughing stopped, Yan Shouyi bowed to the statue and introduced: "This place is called Feipu Cliff, one of the 32 main peaks of Yu Mountain. It got its name because there was a spectacular waterfall cascading down between the peaks in the early years."

Hearing that this place is one of the 32 main peaks of Yu Mountain, Xu Bo'an's heart suddenly moved.

In this way, this place is still the territory of Yushan. Seriously speaking, it is our territory!
No wonder Yan Shouyi could summon himself here.

In this way, my territory has expanded a lot!
This is good news.

Xu Boan smiled and said casually: "Well, yes, Feipu Cliff, this is a good name, but you just said that there was a waterfall here in the early years, which means there is no waterfall here now?" As soon as he asked the question, Xu Boan found that it was really unnecessary for him to ask this question.

In the past few years of severe drought, groundwater is almost impossible to salvage, and the river channel has dried up and cracked a lot. It would be strange if the waterfall could still remain normal!
Sure enough, Yan Shouyi explained again: "To answer the Mountain God, due to the continuous drought in recent years, the Feipu Cliff Waterfall has long been dry, but there are some depressions on the shady side that have accumulated some muddy water, like a swamp. We saw a few on the way here!"

When Xu Boan heard Yan Shouyi say that there was some mud and water accumulated in the depression on the shady side, like a swamp, he realized that this was the gathering place of giant mosquitoes.

After all, mosquitoes mostly live and gather in places with high humidity, damp, hidden and poor ventilation.

This place is just right for them to survive and reproduce!

Xu Boan asked, "When you encountered these giant mosquitoes, it was around the mud pool in this depression, right?"

Yan Shou nodded and said, "Grandpa Mountain God is really good at predicting things. That's right, we were attacked in that vicinity! We hurried there and used up most of the water we brought with us. We found a place near the quagmire and planned to drain some clean water because the surrounding mud layer was shallow.

I didn't expect there to be so many giant mosquitoes there! And these guys are not afraid of people at all. They are very excited when they see us and rush towards us directly! "

Xu Boan didn't think this was very curious.

You have to know that it is a drought year now. There are few animals in the forest, and even fewer animals that can suck their blood.

From the victims' point of view, mosquitoes are hateful, but they are also trying to survive!

These mosquitoes have been spending every day hungry these days.

Now someone has finally gotten in. In the eyes of these mosquitoes, it is the time when the cafeteria opens for lunch, so they will definitely pounce on you and bite you!

Ordinary mosquitoes simply suck blood, and a bite will basically just leave a bump on you. But this giant mosquito is like a vampire, it will suck all your blood in one go, and it can be fatal!
"Around my temple, there are those giant mosquitoes like you mentioned! I'd like to go and meet them first!"

Xu Boan said this casually, without any fear in his heart.

After all, he came to help Yan Shouyi through the mountain temple. On his own territory, don’t even mention mosquitoes. Even if it’s a dragon, you have to coil around it. Even if it’s a tiger, you have to lie down!

What’s more, Xu Bo’an has no physical form in there, so even a mosquito won’t have a chance to bite him!
Those mosquitoes can't bite the clay statues in the mountain temple.

Yan Shouyi awkwardly stretched out his hand to point the way, saying: "It's in a depression in the mountain stream not far away on the opposite side. Grandpa Mountain God, are you going to avenge me?"

Xu Boan snorted lightly, then stood up and went up to the dilapidated roof. The next moment, as expected, Xu Boan's sight rushed directly out of the mountain temple.

Sure enough, the rules I summarized are still very reliable.

As long as the roof is connected to the outside, you can see the scenery outside.

After Xu Bo'an raised his sight, he looked down from a bird's eye view, and a huge mountain suddenly came into his sight.

The surface of the mountain is covered with a thick layer of gravel, which is rock that has been dried and cracked by the wind for many years. Several large cracks on the rock are like the open lips of a thirsty earth, silently expressing its desire for water.

The sun scorched the land mercilessly, and every grain of sand seemed to be trembling and emitting waves of heat.

The vegetation on the mountain is sparse and withered, struggling to draw a trace of life from this barren land.

A few tenacious shrubs, whose leaves have long curled, still hold on to this piece of land. Their existence has become the only sign of life on this hill.

The wind, bringing dryness and heat, swept across the mountain top, raising clouds of dust, as if it was a sigh from nature.

Just this one glance seemed to activate Xu Boan's old memories. Xu Boan suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen this place before, but the place in his memory was not like this at all!
The former Feipu Cliff was once the most bird-loving and flower-filled place in the Yushan Mountains.

This mountain was once famous for its spectacular waterfalls. The water rushed down from the top of the cliff like a white silk hanging on the wall, shaking the valley with a sound, nourishing the creatures around it and painting a vibrant landscape painting.

However, with the passage of time, the drought over the years has quietly changed the appearance of this place like a ruthless sculptor. The once roaring and majestic waterfall is now only silent and desolate.

The exposed rocks, without the caress of the flowing water, appear particularly rough and cold, quietly telling the story of past glory and present desolation.

Below the waterfall cliff, outside the originally lush pool of water, the dry riverbed is now cracked, like the thirsty lips of Mother Earth, longing for a drop of sweet rain.

The originally lush vegetation around has gradually withered due to the depletion of water sources, and has been replaced by patches of yellow and bleakness. Occasionally, there are a few tenacious lives struggling to survive in the cracks, looking particularly desolate and tenacious.

Xu Boan only felt a sense of sadness emerging from his mind.

Well, it seems that this is the memory of the former Yushan Mountain God. I just don't know where those mosquitoes are hiding now!

Xu Boan was looking for those giant mosquitoes here seriously. Inside the mountain god temple, he saw Yan Shouyi kowtowed several times to the honorable throne of the mountain god with a firm and resolute look on his face!
Yan Shouyi bowed his head, raised his head and clasped his hands, saying: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for avenging my brothers! I know that I have committed a grave sin, so I will commit suicide today to follow my dead brothers, so that I won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!"

As soon as Yan Shouyi finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the distant wall.

A clever soldier rushed over quickly and hugged Yan Shouyi's waist fiercely, shouting, "Deputy Yan Qian, what are you doing? This has nothing to do with you! This is the first time everyone has seen a mosquito this big. Everyone can only say that it is just bad luck."

Yan Shouyi wiped the tears from his eyes and choked up as he said, "I brought all these brothers with me. Now they have not even seen the bandit den, have not made any achievements, and have not brought honor to their family, but they have already encountered such a tragedy. Moreover, many of them came with me from Shanyang Order. After such a disaster, how can I go back with dignity? It is better for me to die."

The brothers were killed half way before they even started. This was really disheartening.

What's more, these people are Yan Shouyi's old subordinates, and many of them are even from Shanyang County!

How could he face the wives and children of his subordinates again? He could only die to atone for his crime! (End of this chapter)
