When Qin Xiao followed Old Man Zhong, he secretly never stopped reading and practicing calligraphy. Even when he was in Jiazi Prison, he learned a lot of anecdotes about unofficial history and folk tales from the literati incarcerated there.

He was quite familiar with mandrills.

It is a kind of monkey that lives in the mountains, but it is very ferocious. People even regarded the mandrill as a ghost at one time.

It is reasonable to see mandrills in the Changling Mountains. After all, it stretches for hundreds of miles and there are no rare and strange animals.

However, a group of hunters followed a martial artist who claimed to be a ranger to hunt mandrills. Not only did they not succeed, but they killed and injured several people. This was a bit strange.

Qin Xiao had even seen a picture of a mandrill and knew that although the beast was ferocious, it was not something so many people could do nothing about.

"Uncle Han, are the mandrills attacking you on their own initiative?" Qin Xiao asked.

Uncle Han hesitated for a moment and then said: "That's not true. The first time a few people went hunting in the mountains, they happened to run into the mandrill. According to them, the mandrill didn't hurt them at first. But the mandrill was very dangerous.

It’s so rare, they think if they can capture that mandrill, it’s worth a few bears’ skins.”

Qin Xiao suddenly understood and thought that it was the hunter who angered the mandrill, which made the mandrill become furious and hurt people.

The mandrill is inherently irritable, so it's okay not to provoke it. Since you want to capture it, it will naturally make it hostile to hunters. After that, the hunters will hunt again, and the mandrill will certainly not be lenient.

"No matter what, that mandrill must be eradicated." A hunter said: "If it doesn't die, we can't kill the blind bear. Then we will be the ones who die."

Although everyone knew that what he said was reasonable, everyone understood better that with the current manpower, they were no match for the mandrill. To express their resentment at this time was just to show off their words.

"Uncle, why don't we go back and call more people, find people from the surrounding villages, and let's go there together." One person suggested: "Let's all prepare enough bows and arrows. When the time comes, we will lie in wait and shoot arrows together."

It’s dead.”

"If we want them to help us, we must allow them to hunt here in the future." Uncle Han said: "There are not many blind bears. What will we do if they come here to steal bear skins?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

After eating dry food, Uncle Han went over to take a look at Yangwa's father's wound. He came back and said to Qin Xiao: "My son, this medicine of yours is really a panacea. It is so miraculous that there is no bleeding at all. Yangwa's father has recovered it."

Saved a life."

The hunter on the side patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wazi, you saved Yangwa's father's life this time, why don't you just come back to the village with us and hunt with us in the future, it is much better than wandering around. Don't

Not to mention, if you follow us, you can still have a good meal."

Qin Xiao was startled, thinking that even though he had no real destination at the moment, it would be a good idea to follow this group of hunters. However, this was still within Zhen County. If there were too many young people in the village, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?

Although the young aunt attracted the attention of the Zhenhou Mansion to the east, and even made the Zhen family suspect that they were going to the pass, this did not mean that they would be safe if they went west.

The Zhen family will probably send people to search everywhere in Zhen County for his whereabouts.

If the arrest warrants are distributed everywhere, and people in the village know that the Zhen family is looking for a young man, they may not reveal the news to the outside world.

He was hesitating when he suddenly heard Uncle Han say: "Chang Sheng, where are you going?"

Qin Xiao looked over and saw a hunter who was less than thirty years old standing up. This man never spoke and his face was always ugly.

When everyone ate dry food, he didn't take a bite.

"Liuzi's body is still in the mountain. I want to find it and bring it back." Hunter Changsheng said.

Uncle Han frowned and said: "You are his cousin, I can understand his mood, but we really can't go there at this time. We all know that mandrills are active in that area, and it is easy to meet them. And after passing these few times, there are many people on the other side.

The mandrill must be regarded as our enemy, if it discovers...!" His expression was solemn, and the next words were not spoken, but everyone knew what the outcome would be.

"There is only his mother in Liuzi's house." Chang Sheng said: "When a person dies, his body cannot be seen. How can I explain to his mother?" He picked up his bow and arrow and took the iron fork in his hand: "You don't need to worry about me.

Go and find it yourself. If you don't see me back in the village tomorrow, help me take care of the house more in the future."

The companion next to him grabbed his arm: "Chang Sheng, are you looking for death? The sixth son is already dead, and his mother still needs to be supported by you. If you go like this, what will happen to you two if something happens to you?"

Others also tried to persuade him, but Chang Sheng was determined to leave: "Uncle, Liu Zi didn't want to go up the mountain with him. It was because I was worried about the lack of manpower, so I persuaded him again and again before he agreed. He was killed by a mandrill, and I couldn't save him.

, but if you can't even take his body back, how can you live in the future? You don't have to worry about me." He bowed his hands to everyone and said, "If you really have something to do, I need you to take care of me at home. I'd like to thank you all here."

Qin Xiao thought that Chang Sheng was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and was quite courageous. He knew that the mountains were dangerous, but he still dared to go there.

Seeing the hardship, everyone couldn't help but a hunter in his forties finally said: "Let's go, I'll go with Chang Sheng, and I'll have someone to take care of me."

Changsheng said gratefully: "Uncle Kan, you...!"

"Don't say it. After all, I am more familiar with the situation in the mountains." Uncle Kan sighed: "When you are running away, you are always a helper."

Uncle Han finally said: "We can't help it. Too many people will make it more troublesome. Changsheng, you and your uncle Kan must be careful when you go there. It would be better if you can bring back Liuzi's body. If that's not possible,

, but also to save his own life."

Qin Xiao also knew that retrieving the corpse must be very dangerous. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but he admired Chang Sheng very much. After thinking about it, he said: "How about I go with you?"

Everyone was a little surprised.

Qin Xiao didn't think it was just a whim. He had blood pills in his body. After taking them, his eyesight and sense of smell were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

After all, mandrills are not ghosts. As long as he has enough vision and sense of smell, he can easily detect a mandrill when it appears nearby.

Changsheng is a person who values ​​love, but Qin Xiao can also understand from a few people. After the death of the six sons, there is still my mother, and Changsheng also has a family. If this person really has three shortcomings, his family will be entrusted to the villagers.

, and after all, he was not as well taken care of as he was in this world.

Qin Xiao knew that it must be very dangerous for these two people to go up the mountain, so he was determined to help them. Even if the bodies could not be recovered, with his extraordinary ability, he could help them detect the danger early and at least keep them alive down the mountain.

Meng Zimo had saved him from danger back then and had a chivalrous heart. He naturally admired Meng Zimo. He just felt that it was difficult to win now. Since he had the ability to help, he might as well take action.

"Boy, mandrills are no joke." Uncle Han said, "That beast is too ferocious. If you encounter it, your life will be in danger."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I have a bright nose, so go with me. If the mandrill appears, I might be able to find it early."

Foolish uncle

He thought that if Qin Xiao really had this ability, it would be a good thing to follow him. He hesitated for a moment and said to Changsheng: "Changsheng, what do you think?"

Chang Sheng shook his head and said: "This little brother saved the sheep's father and was kind to us. Now that we are going up the mountain, there are many dangers, so it is better for him to stay. Uncle Han, just take him back to the village and take good care of him."

"

Qin Xiao heard what he said and thought that this man had a good heart. He still remembered asking Uncle Han to take him back to the village and said with a smile: "Brother Changsheng, I know that the mountains are dangerous. I am not trying to be a hero. I am just following you to become a hero."

Helper, you don’t have to refuse.”

Uncle Kan said: "Chang Sheng, since my little brother has such good intentions, let him follow us."

Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then hugged Qin Xiao and said, "That's a lot of work."

Qin Xiaodao: "Brother Changsheng, let's agree on one thing first. If you go into the mountain and I notice something is wrong and tell you to leave, you must not stay. You must listen to me."

"Okay." Chang Sheng nodded and said, "It would be better if we could find Liuzi, but if it doesn't work, we have to save our own lives."

A hunter came forward and handed the iron fork in his hand to Qin Xiao and said: "My dear, take this iron fork."

Qin Xiao knew that in the mountains, it was always better to have weapons in hand, so he was not polite and took the iron fork. Uncle Kan also carried his bow and arrows and took an iron fork. The long victory was not delayed, and he led Uncle Kan and Qin

Xiaobian went up the mountain, and all the hunters were a little uneasy when they saw their figures disappear.

The mountains were densely forested, and Uncle Kan was quite familiar with the roads. He led the way, while Qin Xiao and Chang Sheng followed behind with iron forks.

In the middle of the night, it was very dark inside the mountain. Fortunately, there was a moon in the sky. The moonlight scattered through the gaps in the leaves, so I could barely see the road in the mountain clearly.

Qin Xiao knew that after entering the mountains, the most dangerous thing was not just mandrills. There were many ferocious beasts in the mountains. If you were not careful, you would be in trouble if you encountered tigers and leopards, so he was very careful.

However, Uncle Kan is an old hunter and is very familiar with the situation in the mountains. If there is a wild beast nearby, he will naturally detect it early. It is for this reason that Uncle Kan offered to go up the mountain with him because he was worried that Chang Sheng was too young.

,no experience.

As we walked deeper and deeper into the mountain, the sounds of howling wolves and tigers came from time to time. Qin Xiao didn't feel much about it at the bottom of the mountain. But now that he was in the mountain, he felt a little cold on his back, and he felt a little bit nervous about following them up the mountain.

regret.

However, I offered to follow him up the mountain, so I was naturally embarrassed to look back at this time.

While the two of them were not paying attention, Qin Xiao took a blood pill. Soon, his vision and sense of smell improved rapidly. As far as he could see, he could still see a long distance in the dark.

After walking in the mountains for more than two hours, Uncle Kan stopped and turned around and said, "Not far ahead is the place where mandrills hang out, so be careful."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao immediately tensed up and looked around. The steps of several people were lighter, walking through the forest with their waists bent.

There were many thorns and vines in the forest. Fortunately, Uncle Kan was experienced and familiar with the roads, so the journey was smooth. Qin Xiao asked himself that if he had been alone in the mountains, he would have been lost among the thorns and vines and could not find a way out.
