Our initial analysis was correct. Jinjing was the Jiaolong Pond. We spent a frightening night in that water cave the night before. There is still a huge clam shell left at the entrance of the water cave, with the shell half open.

, the carrion inside has long been eaten up by the sharks.

I looked at my watch, and it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. Dabao said that we must hurry up, otherwise we would be in danger if we ran into those black blind men or that man-bear in the mountains in the middle of the night.

There was nothing to say on the way. Dabao led us along the river bank all the way north and over two mountain ridges. The last four of us finally returned to the village with our tired bodies at around six o'clock in the evening. The village had been blown up, and the old man

The secretary called all the young adults at the edge of the dirt road at the east end of the village. They were all armed with shotguns, hounds, and torches, and were about to go into the mountains to look for us. Fortunately, we got back in time.

The old secretary saw that the three of us were covered in blood and our faces were so red from the cold that we couldn't scold them in front of the villagers, so he had to let everyone disperse.

As soon as he got home, he immediately scolded Dabao and asked him why he came back so late, and why he didn't come back from the east end of the village but came up from the mountain? Didn't he know that there was a zombie riot just now and the sun was shining?

Does Shan have to come back? He said Heleng words in front of us, we are all distinguished guests, it doesn't matter if Dabao lives a humble life, if we have any shortcomings, we can't explain it to our ancestors.

Dabao has a good heart. I was afraid that he would spill the beans. I had already told him on the way not to mention that we went to Junbie Pavilion and just mentioned that we encountered a man-bear at the foot of Xiazi Ridge, so we went all the way down the mountain to the west, and then followed the

He went to the Songhua River to find it. Dabao also knew that Junbie Pavilion was a forbidden area, and was afraid that his father would beat him, so he had to lie.

After dinner, the old secretary called the three of us to the east room and said, "I have to remind you guys, don't take it seriously, but I'm doing this for your own good."

I quickly asked Lanzi to translate politely: "Whatever the old secretary said, we have been annoyed a lot. You don't have to worry about it. Just treat us like Dabao. We should talk about it and scold us when we should."

He said that this afternoon a letter came from the police station on the other side of the river. The identity of the tomb robber who was killed on the dirt road leading to the mountain at the east end of the village last night has been determined. He was from Jilin. His family has been contacted to identify the body. The forensic doctor determined that he suffered from excessive blood loss.

He died, but his body contained corpse poison, which means that the rumors of zombies in the Yilhuri Mountains are definitely not wrong. He also asked a few of us to stay for a few more days and take enough photos to leave as soon as possible. There must be no zombies in the mountains recently.

Peace.

I thought to myself that it was lucky that Dabao kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything about what happened to us that day, otherwise the old man would have been scared to death.

However, talking about what we saw and heard on this trip, we remembered something that we should ask him for advice, so we asked: "Old Secretary, when we were at Xiaziling, we saw two strange pine trees through the telescope. The trees were as tall as clouds and their crowns covered the sky.

And I saw a man-bear in the mountains patting the tree trunk with his paws, and soon something like a petal fell from the tree. What is that?"

The old secretary said that this pine is called Yunli pine, and it is a species that only grows in the Greater Khingan Mountains forest area. This kind of pine tree has strong vitality and can often survive for thousands of years. However, it was over-harvested during the Qing Dynasty and this tree species is almost extinct now.

His understanding of the vegetation in the Yilhuri Mountains shows that the two we saw are probably the only two still alive in the world. This kind of Yunli pine has a strange life form. In winter, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and in spring, the needles will appear.
