Chapter 4 First Acquaintance
There are a lot of dry and dead leaves in the tree hole. Deep in the tree hole, there is a huge object lying, about two meters high. The body hair on its body is very long, almost covering the whole body. It also emits a strong sour smell. The limbs spread out and lie motionless in the hole. The monster is scattered around it. It can be seen that it should be a type of omnivorous animal.
Mu Qingshan walked forward carefully, squatted down, and handed the honey in his hand to the monster's head. The monster turned his head and neck faintly, struggled to support his upper limbs, and tried hard to suck the honey wrapped in the leaves.
After eating all the honey in Mu Qingshan's hand, the monster seemed to have recovered some strength, and actually sat up and shone brightly in his eyes.
This monster is somewhat similar to humans, except that it has big hands and feet, thick hair, and looks like a long-haired giant. It seems that when it was young, it should have been a powerful man in Xiaoaoao Mountains. Although it is still majestic, it cannot hide its decay and old state.
Mu Qingshan smiled sadly at the monster. Although he was young, he often hang out in the mountains and forests and was used to the rise and fall of plants and trees. He knew that from birth to death, prosperity and decline was a necessary process for any life. This old savage had almost reached the end of his life.
There have been various legends about savages since ancient times in Shennongjia. There have been more than 3,000 records about "savages" in China. There are documents that can be found in the Western Zhou Dynasty that captured "savages" and paid tribute to King Cheng of Zhou.
In the Warring States Period, the great poet Qu Yuan wrote in his poem "Nine Songs: Mountain Ghosts": "If someone is in the mountains, he is surrounded by a girl with a litchi. He is both looking at and laughing loudly, and his son admires me and is good at gracefulness." The mountain ghost who "feeling and laughs" is very likely to refer to such a savage.
In the mountainous areas of northwestern Hubei, China, there are records of "savages" appearing in the local chronicles of all dynasties. In the Shennongjia area, hundreds of people witnessed "savages".
Savages have always been the most mysterious existence in Shennongjia, but it is strange that some people in ancient times could capture savages to pay tribute to Chaoge. In modern times, their weapons and equipment have been much more advanced than in ancient times, but fewer and fewer people can capture such mysterious humanoid creatures. Has they evolved after thousands of years?
Mu Qingshan took out half of the bacon pickled from the farmhouse from his back and made a gesture of eating.
The old savage stretched out his big furry hand and took it over, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, shook his head, threw the bacon aside, and stared at Mu Qingshan's eyes blankly.
Mu Qingshan was stared by the old savage for a long time, and couldn't help feeling a little bit. Just as he was about to exit the tree hole, the old savage rushed up. Mu Qingshan was also shocked. Unexpectedly, this dying old savage still had such great strength.
The old savage hugged Mu Qingshan tightly. Mu Qingshan originally wanted to struggle, but the old savage's body sensation was too heavy. Unexpectedly, the old savage grabbed himself in his armpit. He felt an indescribable strange smell hit his face. Mu Qingshan was so angry that he was fainted before he could react. The poor Mu Qingshan's last thought flashed through, unlucky, this old savage probably won't eat me!
In a trance, I felt like something was bitten on the back of my neck, and then something seemed to be injected into my body. However, this feeling was not annoying, it was warm and comfortable.
When Mu Qingshan woke up, he found that it was almost dark. He was obviously in the tree cave, so why did he sleep outside the cave?
Standing up, Mu Qingshan looked around and found that there was no change. However, he felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was lost. Touch the back of his neck, hey! There was really a wound, but fortunately the blood in the wound had solidified.
After gritting his teeth, Mu Qingshan rushed into the big tree hole again. This time, there was no one in the big tree hole. The old savage was gone, leaving only half of the dried bacon on the ground.
Mu Qingshan was a little depressed. Why did this old guy leave without saying goodbye? He even bit himself before leaving. It was so unrighteous!
After searching in the cave for a long time, no fun was found except for the animal bones and the dried cores of plant fruits. Mu Qingshan suddenly woke up, and it seemed that it was getting late! He hurried out of the cave. Sure enough, the sun was already sinking outside the cave, and there was no light in the jungle.
Mu Qingshan naturally knew that as soon as the night came, it was easy to get lost in the forest. It was difficult to deal with those fierce nocturnal carnivores alone, not to mention that those cows were still on the river bank, so they had to quickly lead them back into the cow pen. If the cow was attacked by wild animals, their responsibilities would be great.
I ran wildly, and the wind sounded in my ears. This time I ran very comfortable. My body seemed to be lighter than before. The road was very smooth, and I ran faster and faster. After a while, I passed through the jungle and ran to the river.
There were obviously fewer cow shadows on the river. Mu Qingshan was shocked and flowed across the river in two steps at a time and jumped to the oasis. Mu Qingshan himself had no worries, but these cows were from the village production team. Since childhood, the old cowherd educated Mu Qingshan, and would rather suffer losses than harm others because of ours.
After counting carefully, Mu Qingshan's heart suddenly calmed down. There were three yellow cows left on the river. One of them had a thick straw paper note hanging on the horns. Because it was cheap, all the children in the village used this thick straw paper to write.
Although Mu Qingshan has not been to school for a long time, he can still recognize a few words. He reached out to pick up the note and saw the crooked words on it and said, "Brother Qingshan, I am Erpang. My uncle has something to come to you. I will take the buffalo back first, and I can't carry the scalpers."
Erpang is the second boy of the village party secretary. He always follows Mu Qingshan’s butt with a handful of snot. Isn’t Erpang’s uncle the village chief? What did he ask me for? Mu Qingshan carried the big yellow cow with a hint of doubt, and soon, he drove the three cows back to the village along the way.
After driving the cow back into the circle, Mu Qingshan came to the door of the village chief’s house. The village chief’s house was very lively, and the house was brightly lit, and a four-wheeled iron lump was parked at the gate of the courtyard, which was so majestic.
Mu Qingshan was attracted by this thing at first sight. With his insight, of course he would not understand what this was.
This is the latest model of four-row Land Rover Off-road Vehicle. Like Mu Qingshan, the children in the village were conquered by this big guy without exception. Erpang was leading a few kids and rubbing back and forth on the bumper on the front of the car. There was a constant sound of tsk.
Mu Qingshan also wanted to go up and touch the shiny thing, but since these kids have pounced on him and went over again, wouldn’t it seem as unreliable as these guys? They are used to being alone. Although Mu Qingshan is very curious, he is not used to mingling with these kids.
The village chief’s yard is the largest in the village and the only three-story building in the village. When this big house was built, every household in the village had labor. Mu Qingshan was still young at that time, but the old cowherd brought him to eat the meal of moving.
The children of those days have grown into thick teenagers. This big house, which was once the most beautiful in the village, has faded its former makeup and looks a little old under the erosion of time.
It seemed that a few foreigners came to the yard. When Mu Qingshan heard these pure northern accents, hesitated. Should he go in?
Erpang was pressing his face to the bumper of the car. He saw Mu Qingshan at first sight and rolled over all the way. While pushing Mu Qingshan into the house, he shouted: "Uncle, I've brought Qingshan back to you!"
The sound of footsteps came from the door of the house. It was heard that the village chief's top-quality slippers were emitted. The village chief opened the door and saw Mu Qingshan with a smile on his face. He hurriedly came out and took Mu Qingshan's hand and said, "Come on, Qingshan nephew, come in quickly, uncle has something to discuss with you."
