Changping Village is backed by Mianniu Mountain.

Mianniu Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and is vast and majestic. There are many peaks in the mountain, many of which are as straight as the sky, like a ladder to the sky.

Under normal circumstances, when villagers at the foot of the mountain go to the mountain to collect firewood and hunt, they usually travel through the mountain forests at the foot of the mountain or outside.

Even when Yang Ruoqing led the transport team over the mountains and ridges to Xiushui Town in the south, they tried to avoid those dangerous places. They would rather take a longer detour and climb more relatively low-lying peaks, and try not to touch the steep mountains.

.

The dangerous places in the mountains are inaccessible and wild animals are rampant.

But the place where Zhang Xiangzi was found this time was at the entrance of one of the dangerous places.

This place has a name, Partridge Ridge.

It is shaped like a partridge, with cliffs on both sides like a bird spreading its wings, and a narrow mountain entrance in the middle.

Zhang Xiangzi was lying in a pile of bushes at the entrance, and the blood under his body stained the dead grass and leaves on the ground red.

Yang Huazhong led a group of people with hoes and hatchets, and led about seventy or eighty local dogs in the village to the scene of the incident. When they rushed to the scene of the incident, they saw Zhang Xiangzi's broken body that had been gnawed by wild beasts.

More than a dozen men, including Yang Huazhong, couldn't help but vomited.

Yang Huazhong finally managed to stand firm and asked the villager next to him who reported the news: "This place is so remote, how did you find him?"

The villager said: "I have been hunting around here for the past two days. I heard that there were black bears in this area recently, so I dug a big trap and guarded it for two days. I came over to look at the trap before, but the black bear didn't see it but lay on the ground.

Lie down alone."

Yang Huazhong frowned. The villagers were indeed hunters in the village and made a living by hunting.

With a gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and walked closer to the bushes.

Behind him, most people did not dare to get close, but there were a few brave ones, such as Blacksmith Luo and Daniu, who followed Yang Huazhong into the bushes and looked around Zhang Xiangzi.

Blacksmith Luo shook his head, with a look of regret on his face: "It's such a shame that such a big young man, whose parents managed to drag him to such a big size, was chewed like this by wild beasts..."

Dan Niu also sighed: "It's such a waste to die. If he is carried back to the village like this, his family may not be able to bear it."

Chang Gen said: "You have to take him back if you can't bear it anymore. You can't let him die in the wilderness. This Xiangzi is seeking death. Even if he wants to escape, he should at least escape towards Qingshui Town. How can he escape into this deep mountain and old forest?"

Yang Huazhong's face was frighteningly gloomy, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I probably want to go over the mountains and ridges to the south. Back then, Zhang Lezi followed the transport team over the mountains and went to the south. Zhang Xiangzi also wanted to escape there, but he didn't know the way and ended up here.

coming."

As a result, he encountered a wild beast and put himself on the road to death.

The man covered half of Zhang Xiangzi's body with a large sheet he brought from home.

Blacksmith Luo said to Daniel Changgen: "Let's go get the stretcher over and get it down the mountain first!"

They turned around to get the stretcher. When Yang Huazhong covered Zhang Xiangzi with a sheet and stood up, he saw something falling on the grass beside him out of the corner of his eye.

The thing was stained with blood. Yang Huazhong's pupils shrank slightly, and he calmly picked up the thing and stuffed it into his pocket.

Soon, Blacksmith Luo and the others brought a stretcher over. No one else dared to touch Zhang Xiangzi and only dared to watch from a distance.

It was Blacksmith Luo, Yang Huazhong, and Changgen Daniu who worked together to lift Zhang Xiangzi onto the stretcher.

The others huddled together and watched from a distance. They saw that Zhang Xiangzi had only one leg left and no arms. They saw that a section of his intestines was dragged on the stretcher and was twisted several times by the big cow with a branch and stuffed back again.

into Zhang Xiangzi’s stomach.

Someone covered his mouth and retched again... and then the sound of vomiting came one after another.

The fact that Yang Huazhong led the villagers into the mountains to find Zhang Xiangzi had spread throughout the village, including the old Zhang family, when they set off.

Everyone vaguely heard that something happened to Zhang Xiangzi while he was escaping. No one knew exactly what happened, whether he was dead or alive, and there were different opinions.

So at this moment, when Yang Huazhong and his party came out of the mountain carrying a stretcher and just crossed the bridge over the river at the foot of the mountain, a large wave of villagers came out of the village opposite to watch the fun.

The leader is Huang, followed by his eldest son Daxiang and Daxiang's wife.

"Xiangzi..."

Huang shouted from a distance and stumbled towards this side.

The two villagers walking in the front were neighbors of Zhang Lezi's family. When they saw Huang coming, they quickly stopped Huang.

"Mother Xiangzi, don't go there and don't look at it."

It was okay if I didn't say this, but once I said it, Huang's whole body felt bad.

Previously, she had always thought that Xiangzi was found injured because he fell and broke his legs or something.

When she heard two neighbors say this, she was stunned for a moment and jumped up to look at the stretcher behind her.

"Why can't I look? That's Xiangzi, that's my son! Let me go!"

Ms. Huang shouted at the top of her lungs, but two neighbors forcibly dragged her to the side of the road so that the stretcher could pass by.

When the stretcher passed by, Huang first smelled the pungent smell of blood, and then saw a sheet covering the person on the stretcher from head to toe.

Under the stretcher, blood was still dripping.

Huang's body suddenly froze in place as if someone had cast a restraining spell. She stared straight at the stretcher passing by, her mind went blank and she couldn't move her eyes.

It wasn't until...until Daxiang's wails and the sharp cries of Daxiang's wife rang out from the crowd that Huang regained her soul and voice.

"Xiangzi, my son..."

She suddenly felt great strength, pushed the two neighbors aside, and chased after them like crazy.

One of the neighbors was pushed to the ground and hurriedly shouted to the stretcher carrier: "Ms. Xiangzi has passed, be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, the person carrying the stretcher was knocked away by Huang. The stretcher slipped from the man's shoulders, and Xiangzi's body also rolled to the ground...

The originally noisy crowd of onlookers suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

So quiet you can hear a pin drop.

The silence was broken by Huang's "Jie Jie"'s laughter, which was like a night owl.

Huang's hair was disheveled, surrounding Zhang Xiangzi's broken body, slapping her hands, dancing with her feet like a goddess performing a show, and smiling.

"Mother Xiangzi, what's going on? How can you still laugh?"

"This is not a real smile, this is because I can't bear the blow and I'm crazy..."

The crowd finally went crazy.

Zhang Daxiang rushed to Mrs. Huang and supported her. The man cried bitterly: "Mom, my brother is gone. Please show my condolences. Don't be like this..."

Huang's eyes were looking straight at Zhang Daxiang in front of her. When she saw her eldest son bursting into tears, she finally rolled her eyes.

Pushing Zhang Daxiang away, Huang threw himself on Zhang Xiangzi on the ground, picked up his bloody head with his ears and nose bitten off, and held him in his arms. His whole body was shaking, and tears oozed from his closed eyes: "
