Tomb Bride: A Millennium Immortal Jade Face Beauty

"Let's go! Keep up!" I called to the three of them to trot all the way to Toad Ridge.

The reason why Hama Ridge got such a name is purely because of its noisy frogs in summer. People in the village often go to the Ridge to dig for toads when they catch up with Tiantou in winter. There is another name for this toad in the Northeast, called "Hash". Ant", is said to also come from Manchu.There is a mountain spring on the ridge, which flows in from the direction of Guanyinge Reservoir. The water traces are clear, and it flows all the way to the village, irrigating this large area of ​​cultivated land.

Many people in the mountains in the Northeast make a living digging hash ants. This thing is a treasure in the mountains, especially toad oil, which can be sold by gram, and it is also a kind of soft gold.As long as the toad is thawed, it will run to the ditch on the mountain, find a big tree and burrow into the soil under the tree. After burrowing in, cover the top with mud and go into hibernation. It also maintains its body temperature for warmth. , usually a large nest hibernates together.

If a master digger of toads in the village is right, he can dig out more than a hundred toads with one shovel. Each toad is thin, and the toxins and fat in the body have almost been turned into heat in the winter and not sent to the body, so You can eat it directly if you grab it, the meat is tender. Fried Hash ant is also a famous dish in Northeast China.

I remember when we were young, Uncle Hai said that every year we planted the land in the village, we could not earn as much as catching hash ants in winter.Moreover, the reason why this place is named Hamaling is also because the toads in Hamaling can't be caught no matter how hard they are caught, they go back and forth. The custom of digging toads in winter has been around for hundreds of years, but this toad can't be dug no matter how hard it is. After that, no matter how much you dug up and sold in the market, in spring, the mountains will be croaking again.

But of course there are no toads in winter, and we didn't bother to look for toads in the ditches in the middle of the night. We only hoped to find Uncle Hai sooner.I knew in my heart that this group of people was probably doing it for the Fuxi gossip righteousness left by the sage Yin-Yang. If they got their hands on it, Uncle Hai's old fate would be considered a confession.

Seeing that we have already reached the foot of the ridge, rows of pines and ancient cypresses stand in front of us, and a pine branch looks like a piece of rag hanging under the moonlight.The four of them took a closer look, and it turned out to be a piece of yellow paper, which happened to be in the shape of a paper figurine's arm.

"Not far, just ahead!"

The four chased into the mountains while shouting Uncle Hai's name.It's strange to say that the footprints are clearly stretching forward, but we didn't hear him answer us even though we shouted. Could it be that he has been attacked?Impossible!Even if the old man pointed out the cemetery of Saint Yin-Yang for them, they would still have to dig a few shovels to find out, right?

"Rat, give me the telescope!"

Mouse quickly took out my military binoculars from his backpack. I turned on the night vision infrared function and looked up the mountain.Sure enough, just as I expected, about 500 meters in front of us, Nagada is at most [-] meters above sea level, and a shambling old man was running up the mountain with several men in black straddling him.In the binoculars, the old man's steps were very firm, while the feet of the men in black were very light, as if they were rubbing on the snow, and there was no trace at all.
