Chapter 51: Into the Belly of the Mountain


Early October is when the weather in Bohai Bay is the most pleasant.

It is neither cold nor hot.

The highest temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius and the lowest is around 12 or 13 degrees Celsius.

But in the old forests of Northeast China, the highest temperature every day is just above 10, while the lowest temperature has already reached below zero.

In order to keep out the cold, the second master asked Xing Wei and I to put on thick clothes when we got off the plane from Harbin.

But he himself is still the same, wearing a Tang suit to get rid of himself.

I feel that no one in the family is afraid of the cold, except me.

Er Ye said that the main reason why he chose to go into the mountains at this time was because the bears in the mountains have not yet hibernated.

They are now looking for food everywhere, and their weight has reached the highest peak of the year.

When I heard the second master say these words, I had an ominous premonition.

Didn't he say that he would bring me to practice?

Why did it suddenly involve a bear?

It was already past six o'clock in the evening when we entered the mountain, and the sky was getting dark.

Xing Wei suggested setting up camp on the spot and resting for one night before entering the forest.

But the second master disagreed, saying that we couldn't let him wait too long. .

By the way, who is so old?

I wanted to ask the second master, but he was talking to Xing Wei all the way and I couldn't get a word in.

As we walked deeper and deeper, after more than four hours, we could hardly see the complete road.

The ground was full of weeds and some vegetation that I couldn’t name.

But probably because we didn’t go deep into the mountain, the surrounding area was covered with weeds.

The trees are relatively sparse.

If I remember correctly, October 6, 2006 should be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The moon in the sky was very round and bright.

The whistling cold wind blew away the moonlight and also illuminated the road under our feet.

The second master looked at the full moon in the night sky and sighed: "If I had known, I should have come two days earlier, but I can't make it today."

At that time, Xing Wei was taking out a water bottle from his backpack and didn't answer the second master's words.

I saw the opportunity and immediately asked the second master: "What are you missing?"

The second master said as he walked: "We can't catch up with the darkest time in the old forest.

Alas, even though we entered the forest on a full moon night, it's useless if we can't make it to the forest farm."

This was a bit confusing, and I didn’t quite understand why he wanted to go into the mountains when the yin energy was at its heaviest.

I just asked him: “Who is so old?”

"You are so old," the second master said, "He is a hermit in this area and is familiar with the conditions in the forest.

Every time I enter the old forest in the northeast, he is my guide.

Xing Wei, don't leave."

Xing Wei heard the second master's words and stopped: "What's wrong?"

The second master raised his wrist, pointed at his watch and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock.

He's so old that he falls asleep as soon as midnight.

We will definitely not see him tonight.

Rest where you are."

Xing Wei glanced at the surrounding woods and asked the second master with some worry: "If you rest here, you won't run into a black blind man, right?"

The second master smiled and said: "We have just entered the mountain.

We will not encounter wild animals."

After saying that, the second master smacked his lips towards the moon again, with deep regret on his face.

This time we went into the mountains with ten large backpacks, two of which contained things for setting up tents.

I set up two tents with the help of Xing Wei, and the second master occupied one by himself.

Xing Wei and I lived in another one.

The second master is too big-hearted and doesn’t care whether camping in the wild is dangerous.

He falls asleep as soon as he gets into the tent.

Xing Wei and I can hear his snoring two or three meters away.

This was my first time sleeping in the wilderness.

I was not used to it.

I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Xing Wei was lying next to me, holding his head in his hands, crossing his legs, and staring at the top of the tent, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was not sleepy either, so I tried to talk to him: "Brother Viagra" "No," Xing Wei immediately interrupted me: "Don't call me that.

You should just call me Dawei.

Everyone in your industry calls me that."

I laughed a little awkwardly: "Looking at your accent, you must be from the Northeast."

"No," Xing Wei waved his hand: "My hometown is from Shanxi.

I never spoke Mandarin before I joined the army.

After I joined the army, I became a Northeast squad leader.

I followed him around every day, and my accent changed like this."

I was at a loss for words: "Didn't you say you brought a cook with you?

Why haven't you seen him yet?"

Xing Wei: "He went into the mountains in advance to find Lao De.

You can see him when he arrives at the forest farm.

By the way, there is something I have always wanted to ask, but I am embarrassed to say it."

"Just ask."

"Why have you been squinting your eyes since I saw you on the plane?

Is it because you didn't get any rest last night?"

I smiled: "I can't open my eyelids, it would be troublesome if I did."

Xing Wei shrugged his shoulders: "Everyone in your family seems to be like this.

Everyone is a little bit different."

Since he mentioned the Qing family, I couldn't help but ask: "Weiwei Wei, you see, I just returned to Lao Qing's house not long ago, and I still haven't figured out what the Qing family does.

So now I especially want to know, we What on earth do you guys do?"

Dawei curled his lips: "You old folks, your responsibilities in the industry are quite complicated.

People from a big family like you have many identities in the industry.

Hi, actually I have been dealing with the Jin family in the past two years.

I don’t have many opportunities, and I can’t tell you what you do.

Anyway, every time I see the second master, he is either going to the grave or somewhere to kill corpses and ghosts, so I always think that the old man’s family did it.

The matter may be similar to that of Soul Retreat Village.”

I said: "In recent days, I have often heard Er Ye and the others mention the Soul Retreat Manor.

What does the Soul Retreat Manor do?"

Dawei thought about it for a while before speaking: "It's just a visit to the tomb, a corpse or a ghost.

I can't tell.

Anyway, it's similar to your family."

The words he said were the same as those he didn't say.

But I also roughly know that the day I take over Erye's stall, I'm afraid I will have to go to the grave often and deal with evil corpses, ghosts and the like.

I really don’t understand why our family is so rich, so they insist on engaging in such a profession despite having a good life.

At this time, Dawei patted me: "Go to sleep quickly.

With the temper of the second master, he will have to get us up before dawn tomorrow morning and rush on the road."

With that he got into his sleeping bag and was soon snoring.

I looked at the roof of the tent and kept thinking about what the second master said to me when we entered the mountain.

"At this stall, the bears in the mountains are at their fattest time of the year.

Well, the black blind guy can't do it.

He's too weak.

At least he needs to find a big guy with brown hair."

What does the second master mean by this?

Why is he looking for a bear?

Thinking about this over and over again, I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

Dawei was right.

With Er Ye's fiery temper, it was absolutely impossible for us to sleep for too long.

At around four o'clock in the morning, he picked us up.

After a hasty breakfast, we continued to move towards Heading deep into the woods.

Five of the ten backpacks were full of food, but these were only enough for me and the second master to eat for one day.

The second master’s appetite was almost half of mine, and Dawei’s appetite was only one-third of the second master’s. .

So while eating breakfast, Dawei kept staring at me with extreme astonishment.

Until I stuffed the last bite of compressed biscuit into my mouth, he yelled: "You can feed seven or eight people by yourself."

Don’t you feel sick to your stomach?”

To be honest, I don’t even know why I never suffer from indigestion even though I eat so much every day.

And since my body shape became what it is now, my weight has hardly changed no matter how much I eat, and I don’t know why I’m eating it.

Where did all the stuff that went down go?

After driving non-stop for most of the day, we finally approached the hinterland of the mountains.

Ever since there were more trees around, the second master kept looking around.

Dawei didn't chat with the second master anymore, and every time he walked, he would Stop and look around.

Seeing that the sky was starting to turn yellow, the second master became a little impatient: "Where did that old man die?

Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

While the second master was talking, Dawei suddenly raised his gun.

I looked along the muzzle of Dawei's gun and found something running deep in the forest.

It moved very fast.

I couldn't see clearly what it was.

I could only roughly tell from the outline that it should be A wolf or fox.

When it moved, Dawei also moved the muzzle quickly.

For a moment, the shadow in the distance paused, and Dawei immediately seized the opportunity and pressed the trigger.

嘡 With a dull gunshot, an old tree in the distance was hit, and a large amount of sawdust flew across.

The black shadow that had been huddled under the tree just now disappeared.

Dawei frowned and said to the second master: "Something's wrong, maybe it's evil."

As soon as Dawei's words fell to the ground, there was another rapid "shoot" sound in the distance.

Dawei immediately turned the gun and was about to press the trigger, but the second master stretched out his big hand and blocked him with the palm of his hand. muzzle.

Dawei looked at the second master in confusion, and the second master smiled at him: "Don't shoot, you are too old."

After that, the second master shouted into the depths of the forest: "Stop pretending to be a ghost and come out quickly."

The sound of "Xissuo" sounded soon.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old blue-gray wolf running towards us.

Just when it was about to arrive in front of me, my vision suddenly blurred for a moment.

When my vision became clear again, the old wolf was nowhere to be found.

An old man wearing a blue-gray cotton-padded jacket suddenly appeared.

Appeared in front of me.

What I have to say is that this man has a very distinctive appearance.

He has a long nose, a long mouth, a chin longer than a shoehorn, and a pair of thin eyes that are shining brightly.

Just by meeting his eyes, I feel like I feel uncomfortable all over.

I quickly lowered my head and looked away, but then I saw his tattered old cotton-padded jacket.

It was covered with patches of different sizes.

There was also a hole on the waist, and a few strands leaked out of it.

The cotton hung so softly on it, as if it was about to fall off at any time, but it just couldn't.

Anyway, everything about this person in front of you makes you feel displeased.

You don’t know whether he deliberately made himself like this, or whether he has this kind of virtue in the first place.

The old man raised his hand, pointed towards me, and asked the second master: "He is your apprentice."

The second master first said to him: "He is a boy from the Fengyu family.

He can be regarded as my half-disciple.

They are all his own children anyway, and they are not usually treated as masters and disciples."

After that, the second master said to me again: "This old man is old.

He has no name, he only has this nickname
