Savage Secret

() I originally thought that entering Shennongjia would be after the New Year at the earliest, but Li Yongsheng told us: "The sooner the better, it is best to enter the mountain when everyone is busy with the New Year, so as not to be on the mountain after the New Year. If there are tourists or hunters, then it will be inconvenient to move around.”

I have no objection!I have never paid much attention to how to celebrate the New Year.For the rich, basically every day is New Year’s Eve. For us proletarians, the feeling of the New Year’s Eve can best be described by a sentence in Li Qingzhao’s "Slow Voice": "Desolate and deserted. , Miserably miserable!"

When drinking together again in the evening, Li Yongsheng told us that his grandfather used to be an archaeologist. When excavating an ancient tomb in Chengdu decades ago, he found that the structure of the tomb was not only very strange, but even the tomb owner The long ones are very strange, it is the image of a human body with a tiger's head, and a pure gold box is pressed under the tiger's head.When they opened the pure gold box with anxiety, they found that there was only a human skin map inside, and the text on the human skin map was very old.They immediately reported the matter to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which attached great importance to the matter and successively recruited thousands of text research experts in China to decipher the map, and finally discovered that it contained the secrets of Shennongjia.In order to clarify this secret, the state has sent hundreds of people into the mountain several times. Once the people sent out entered the mountain, they seemed to have evaporated, and there was no news of them again.The country knew that this matter was very strange, so it blocked the news, and told the relevant people not to tell this matter.But Li Yongsheng's grandfather recorded this incident in his diary. After Li Yongsheng found out, he found his distant relative Tianyuan, hoping that Tianyuan could find a suitable person to enter Shennongjia with him. Tianyuan thought of Lao Niu and me.

We were in a hurry to enter the mountain, and we didn’t prepare much, so we brought some basic daily necessities, clothes, dry food, etc., and I also brought my favorite Latse Tibetan knife.This Tibetan knife was given to me by a friend who came back from Xizang. It is said that it is the first knife in the Tibetan area. It has a big name. It is a piece of cake for it to cut iron and gravel. It has always been as sharp as before, and because of it, I even found someone to learn the knife technique for several months.

According to the plan, we first took a bus to Yuandong Bay on the outskirts of Shennongjia, and then went into the mountains to find the legendary Shennong Cave.

Not long after getting in the car, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and I always wanted to sleep, so I just leaned on the back seat and fell asleep. I also had a muddled dream. There is a huge palace, the top of the palace is a row of huge shining pearls, and the bottom is paved with gold and jade, which is luxuriously decorated.Then I dreamed that the four of us were sitting on the high hall, with bright and delicious four-season melons and fruits in front of us, and a few rows of slim dancers dancing with long sleeves below, showing their charm.While eating, Tian Yuan smiled and rushed towards a beautiful woman, just when he met the beautiful woman, the beauty's eyes suddenly turned blood red, her face turned black, and the cute cherry grinned. It was divided into four petals, and two long fangs protruded from it. It was like a ferocious ghost. I screamed, and immediately grabbed the melon and fruit plate in front of me and threw it at the ghost-like beauty. , but felt a pain in my hand. When I looked down, a strange mouth was biting my hand. I shook it a few times and didn't shake it off, but I felt that I was getting weaker and weaker, and my body was paralyzed...

Suddenly, I heard a harsh brake sound, and my body rushed forward involuntarily, as if I had hit something.When I opened my eyes, I saw Lao Niu pushing the front seat with one hand and blocking me with the other, and then I heard someone in the car shout: "Driver, can you drive!"

The driver didn't speak, and was about to start the car and continue on. The conductor's younger sister hurriedly explained to everyone: "Something ran past the front of the car just now..."

A fat woman in her 40s immediately stood up and scolded her little girl, "Where is there anything on the way? If you don't know how to drive, don't make so many excuses! You almost threw me out, you know that? If this happens again, I won't ride in your car in the future!" Although the little girl was scolded, she still calmly apologized to the fat woman, and I appreciate her behavior very much.

"Squeak!" The car had just started and stopped again. Although the speed was not fast, the fat woman was caught off guard and fell into the compartment, and then heard the front windshield as if it had been hit by something, and there was a "crash", It was all rotten, and the driver crawled on the steering wheel with his head in his arms, not daring to move.Then, stones continued to be thrown into the carriage from the outside, causing chaos in the carriage.While hiding, the little girl of the conductor yelled at the servants: "Climb on the seat quickly and don't move around, and be careful not to be hit by stones."

The fat woman was no longer as arrogant as before, she stopped scolding when she got up, and hurried back to her seat, thrusting her head into her crotch.

Lao Niu, Tian Yuan, and Li Yongsheng and I were all sitting in the back row. The stone couldn't hit me, so I turned my head and looked out, only to find that it was getting dark.In front of the car on the left, two human-like black shadows screamed and jumped, bent over and grabbed stones on the side of the road and threw them into the car.

"What?" I immediately rushed to the edge of the car door, and the old cow followed.

"Dangerous, you can't get off the bus!" The conductor's little girl hadn't finished shouting, the two of us had already opened the car door and rushed towards the two shadows.

Seeing us, the two black shadows threw stones at us strangely, I quickly dodged and the stones flew past me.When I looked again, the two black shadows jumped one after another, climbed up the three-foot-high cliff next to me, and after they climbed up, they turned their heads and looked at me and the old cow again, before turning around and disappearing. Nainai, that is a cliff more than three feet high, and they climbed up it in a split second.

"Hey, you can't go down!" The conductor's little girl shouted again, and when she turned her head, Li Yongsheng and Tian Yuan were also coming down from the car door.

Tian Yuan shouted to us: "Brother Tie Yan, Brother Niu, what's going on?"

I stretched out my hands, smiled helplessly at Tian Yuan, and said, "It's just two little monkeys blocking the way!"

The window next to the little girl of the conductor was suddenly opened, she stuck out half of her head, and shouted to us in a trembling voice: "Hey, come up quickly, those are not ordinary hairy monkeys, those are two savages!"

When Lao Niu and I heard what the conductor said, we were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Little girl, you are so funny, if they are really savages, then I will catch them and play with them!"

The conductor saw that I didn't believe it, and saw that there were no more stones flying in, so he got out of the car bravely, pulled us into the car, closed the car door, and said anxiously to us: "I didn't lie to you, that's really a savage. Very powerful!"

I've heard that there are savages in Shennongjia, but I've never believed it. Now that the little conductor girl told me about it, I became interested and smiled at her, "Tell us about how amazing it is!"

The conductor sighed, and said slowly, "A few nights ago, at about eight o'clock, it was raining. A man from our village drove home from this road, and it was probably when he came here. Seeing something crawling in the middle of the road, he got out of the car curiously and saw a little red-haired monkey crawling and chewing a wild fruit in the middle of the road. He caught the little monkey and wanted to take it to At home for children to play. Just when he was about to get into the car, two savages jumped down from the cliff suddenly, the man stuffed the little monkey into the car, drove away, and the two savages chased after him After throwing stones for a while, he failed to catch up, but smashed his car. After returning home, the man was very angry at the smashed car, and hung the little monkey on the locust tree at the head of the village the next day. He was stoned to death, and then skinned and fed to dogs. At that time, many people advised him not to do this, but he refused to listen. That night, the whole village heard the roar of a very loud and sad monster, They heard the screams of people again. After dawn, everyone found that their family was hanging on the locust tree that killed the little monkey. Everyone had several blood holes on their heads and their chests were cut open. , the intestines are thrown everywhere, and now I think of it, I am afraid!"
