Qin Shanlin saw the young man standing up and knew who he was. This afternoon, the Party Secretary came to his house to look for him and said that Qin Xiao's ashes should be buried in the Qin family's ancestral tomb. The commune director came in person, but he refused. What's wrong with the commune director? As long as you are a descendant of Qin Kangyuan, even the director of the Revolutionary Committee would not give you face.

This guy stood up now and agreed first. He was worried about the safety of his grandson.

"can!"

Zhong Yuemin did not say much and returned to Qin Ling.

"Zheng Tong, Jianguo, go back and grab our stuff. Hurry up, let's go to the back mountain to find out what's going on."

"Yuemin, are we really going?" Ermao said.

"What, are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't tell me there was a ghost. Fine, today I will deal with both the leopard and the ghost together."

A few of them went back to get their tools. After a while, they lit torches, and used pickaxe handles, engineer shovels, shovels, and ropes. These were all bought in Xi'an shopping malls. Items like engineer shovels were not available in small cities. Then they headed towards the back mountain. With them leading the way, the rest of the village followed suit, some lighting torches, others lighting kerosene lamps. In the pitch-black night, the winding mountain road was like a fire dragon stretching across the ground.

The back mountain is not far from the village, and it takes only about ten minutes to reach the outskirts. When we got there, we saw dense forests and overgrown weeds. During the day, the branches and leaves in the forest were colorful, but now there is only the creepy black and no other colors can be seen. A mountain breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. The dark forest was like a black hole, exuding weirdness, creepiness and loneliness!

Qin Zhong took the semi-automatic gun hanging on his shoulder.

"Director Zhong, I'm more familiar with this terrain than you are. I'll go in with you. Everyone, follow closely and don't get lost. Silly boy, you'll be the last one in line."

Qin Han also had a gun in his hand and nodded, "I know, Dad!" He went to the end of the team and then stepped into the dense forest on the back mountain. There were also some brave villagers watching on the side, but the main attraction was the one thousand yuan. It didn't matter whether the child was dead or alive, as long as they found him,

With a gritted teeth and a desperate effort, dozens of people followed behind, holding torches, and entered the forest.

Qin Zhong and Zhong Yuemin walked in the front. He held a machete in his hand. There was no road ahead. He used the machete to chop the thorns and bushes in front of him.

"Uncle Qin, aren't any people from the villages near the back mountain coming here? There's not even a mountain road."

"Yes, you seldom come?"

Qin Zhongdao:

"Look at the terrain. It's on the shady side. Even in broad daylight, around noon, the sun can shine a little, but it's very short. It's dark most of the time, not to mention at night. Our Qin family's ancestral tomb is on the southern slope in front of the village. This side is what I told you about before. Some people who committed crimes or died suddenly outside and couldn't enter the ancestral tomb were hastily buried here. According to the older generation, these are lonely ghosts. After death, they can't be reincarnated and can only wander in this world."

Zheng Tong and the others who followed him got goosebumps when they heard this. Although they were fearless, they were a little scared when they found themselves in such a place with graves, ghosts, and ferocious leopards.

The team continued to go deeper. After about half an hour, the team that followed them in disappeared. They could hear the sounds just now, but now there was no movement at all. They didn't know if they got separated or went in another direction. Now they were the only team left.

Zheng Tong said:

"Uncle Qin, this back mountain is connected to other mountain ranges. Looking for a leopard in this deep forest is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will take a long time to find it."

Qin Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There's nothing I can do. Leopards are very fast. I think this kid..."

"Help, ah..."

A sudden shouting sounded from the front, as if it was from another team. Zhong Yuemin took the lead and rushed towards the source of the sound. Qin Zhong and others followed closely behind. "Hua Hua Hua..." His right hand kept chopping away the dense branches and leaves that were thrown at his face.

When they arrived at the place, the man who was shouting for help was crawling towards them, looking terrified.

"There's a leopard... a leopard, a leopard!"

"Where is the leopard?" Zhong Yuemin, with a machete in hand, looked around and found nothing unusual.

"Just you?"

The man got up from the ground, still in shock. "There were three of us. The other two might have been killed by the leopard, or they might have escaped... escaped."

Seeing the man's cowardly look, Zheng Tong said, "Is the gun on your shoulder just for show? Shoot!"

"It's... too fast. I can't see clearly."

As soon as the words fell, “Swish!”

A dark shadow suddenly jumped out of the bushes ahead, and then quickly disappeared into the dense forest on the other side. It was impossible to see what it was, but one thing was certain, it was definitely not a human.

"Shh!"

Then it sprang out, and I could vaguely discern some of it,

Leopard prints, spots, and eyes glowing green-blue, it was undoubtedly a leopard, and it was quickly attacking them.

Qin Zhong raised his gun and fired, "Bang!" but missed.

"Oh!"

Another shot, but still missed. The leopard was right in front of him. The ferocious leopard head, with blood dripping from its mouth and sharp fangs, was terrifying. However, Zhong Yuemin was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit and his blood was boiling.

"Uncle Qin, stop fighting!"

Then he rushed forward, threw away the machete in his hand, and roared:

"Well done!"

The leopard is a natural speed player, agile and quick, but relatively weak in strength. Zhong Yuemin saw through the leopard's movement and directly hit it with his body sideways.

Man and leopard met in mid-air,

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, he was stronger than the leopard and knocked it into the bushes on the side. He also rushed in quickly. The leopard seemed to feel that he was difficult to deal with and ran away. He had been looking for this beast for a long time, so how could he let it go? He chased it. The man and the leopard were chasing each other in the dense forest. He found that the leopard was getting slower and slower, and the blood dripping from the ground was getting more and more. The leopard was injured. Maybe the shot from behind by Uncle Qin just now hit the beast.

When they chased the leopard to an open space, the leopard had disappeared. Zhong Yuemin scanned the surroundings with high alert, certain that the leopard must be hiding somewhere. At this moment, he heard a child crying, "Woo woo woo..." In the dark woods where there was no one around, the sound of a child crying made his hair stand on end. He followed the sound and found it came from the roots of a big tree that was as thick as a man's embrace. He found a tree hole inside after pulling away the vines and weeds. He squatted down and looked inside. There were two male corpses lying on the edge of the hole. There were bloody holes bitten on their necks and they were motionless. They were dead. There was also a child of fifteen or six years old sitting there crying loudly. Apart from the blood on his body, he seemed to be fine.

Next to the child, the leopard he had just been chasing lay on the ground, its green eyes fixed on him, its belly heaving violently, with a hole on one side, blood flowing, its intestines spilling out, and a low, suppressed roar coming from its mouth, ready to attack at any moment.
