I Returned From Star Sea

Chapter 10

2021-07-27

The eve of Chapter 10 Wufeng Mountain is not a tourist attraction.

It is just one of the many mountains in Yunnan Province. It has neither steep scenery nor legends of humanistic stories.

It took Yue Heng a lot of effort to find this wild mountain far away from the city.

He first found a taxi in the nearest county town that was willing to go into the mountain, and then took a small town near Wufeng Mountain.

Then I took three jumpers and came to a small mountain village along the rugged mountain road.

It took more than four hours before and after! The uncle driver who drove Sanbengzi told Yue Heng that Wufeng Mountain was surrounded by primitive forest. Most of the people in the village had moved out long ago, and the risk of entering the mountain alone is extremely high.

He kindly reminded Yue Heng not to take any risks.

Yue Heng expressed his gratitude and told him he was here to take pictures of the primordial natural scenery.

I won’t miss it.

After Sanbengzi sprayed black smoke and left, Yue Heng observed the terrain and landforms nearby.

Wufeng Mountain is composed of five rugged peaks.

The mountain is not high.

The entire mountain is covered by lush and green forests, and the ecology is very good.

The small mountain village is located below the second peak.

Yue Heng did not enter the village.

He took out a hatchet he bought on the way, moved towards the fourth peak.

Swinging down the weeds and vines in front of him, Yue Heng roughly explored the periphery of the fourth peak.

He didn't return to the entrance of the village until it got dark.

The mountain village is very quiet under the curtain of night, and there is no silhouette of the villagers’ activities.

As far as Yue Heng can see, the windows of the house are all black.

It makes people look at it and feel hairy.

This is obviously a largely abandoned village.

In fact, in the same mountain village, in the Divine Province can be seen everywhere, people are living in cities.

Yue Heng thought for a while, and walked into the village.

Without transportation, he is impossible to walk the night on foot back to the town.

The best choice is of course to stay in the village for one night.

As the so-called boldness of execution stems from superb skill, even in an uninhabited village in the mountains, Yue Heng dared to spend the night alone.

woof! woof! He walked several hundred meters along the path paved with stone slabs, and suddenly heard a bark in front of him.

Anyone?

Yue Heng's eyes shined immediately, and he could not help speeding up his pace.

Continue walking for a distance, and you will see the light from a village house in front of you.

Sure enough, there are still people living.

In response to the appearance of Yue Heng, the uninvited guest, the big yellow dog at the door barked even harder.

Yue Heng paused and heard someone shout something in the room.

Then an old man with hair grey-white walked out and touched the head of the rhubarb dog.

He saw Yue Heng with a look of surprise.

"Hello Grandpa."

Yue Heng took a few steps forward and asked politely: "Can I stay at your house for one night?"

Added another sentence: "I can pay."

The old man said with a smile: "The money is gone, you can come in."

He speaks with a strong voice. Local accent.

But Yue Heng can basically understand: "Thank you."

The old man's house is quite big, with three tiled houses and front and back yards.

Apparently everyone around has moved away, and the whole village seems to be left behind by him alone.

The old man drove the big yellow dog aside and enthusiastically invited Yue Heng to sit in the hall.

At this time, a grandma wearing blue indigo batik clothes walked out of the nearby kitchen.

She carried the bronze teapot and brewed a cup of hot tea for Yue Heng.

He smiled and said two words to Yue Heng.

Yue Heng does not understand.

"My mother-in-law let you drink tea."

The old man explained: "We grow the tea by ourselves, and it tastes good. You can taste it."

Yue Heng took two sips.

It's really good.

The old man said again: "young man, you haven't eaten dinner yet?"

"If you don't dislike it, just have some with us."

Yue Heng's hospitality is difficult, but I can only thank you again and again.

Senior is really enthusiastic and regards the stranger Yue Heng as a distinguished guest.

He instructed his grandmother to bring dishes to the table, and also brought home brewed rice wine.

Pull Yue Heng while eating and chatting.

Grandma's craftsmanship is not very good, but the bacon and marinated fish fried with peppers and mushrooms are quite distinctive.

With cold wild vegetables and sweet rice wine, Yue Heng can eat with keen interest pleasure.

After drinking a few glasses of rice wine, the old man's chat box opened.

It turns out that in this village, there are really only their old couple left.

All other villagers moved to live in the town or county, including his children.

Except during the New Year, very few people usually come to the village.

But occasionally there will be a few adventure buddies.

Senior obviously regards Yue Heng as a donkey, but he is surprised at the age of the latter.

Yue Heng looks too young.

The old man also told Yue Heng not to run into the mountains.

Because there is no one going up the mountain now, the original mountain road has long disappeared, and it is easy to get lost when entering.

The year before last three travel companions went missing after climbing the mountain. Fortunately, they were found by the rescue team from the county seat, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

"There are still wolves in this mountain!"

The old man said in a low voice, "I haven't seen it in several decades, but now it has appeared again."

He Tell Yue Heng that his brother-in-law was taken away by the wolf.

Back then, his mother carried his younger brother, who was only a few months old, into the mountains to chop wood, but was attacked by wolves.

The elder sister desperately resisted and survived, but the younger brother was nowhere to be seen.

Not even the bones were found.

Later, a hunting team was organized in the village and went into the mountains to wipe out the surrounding wild wolves.

The old man was once a member of the hunting team.

When it comes to the past, he is very embarrassed.

didn't expect After many years, the wild wolf appeared again.

ao wu ～

As if to confirm the words of Senior, a sudden howling of wolf spread far into the room.

The big yellow dog guarding in the yard barked immediately!

The old man complexion changed: "These beasts!"

Yue Heng suspected that if the Senior had a shotgun in his hand at this time, he would definitely charge ahead without the slightest hesitation.

Fight to the death with wild wolves.

What level of protected animals does the current wild wolf belong to?

Seeing Yue Heng’s expression a bit strange, the old man thought he was scared, comforted: "You don't need to be afraid of living here. These animals generally don't come to the village."

"I can't rush into my house if I come!"

Yue Heng sweats: "Uh..."

How could he be afraid of wolves, just thinking about if he encounters a wolf attack tomorrow .

Is it illegal to hack him to death? Self-defense should not be counted.

The wild wolf in the mountain howled a few times and then there was no more movement.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old man told his grandmother to tidy up his son's room.

Let Yue Heng rest.

This night, Yue Heng didn't sleep well.

A little bit of excitement.

Although Yue Heng's will has long been sharpened as a rock.

But he knows what he will face tomorrow.

It will be a miracle that will change the entire world! Being able to fall asleep is already very powerful.
