Diao Laosi said:

"Tuwazi, didn't I tell you that Wang Da Nao didn't listen to my advice and took his men to Wohu Ridge to find that hot spring valley?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Did you encounter a wild animal?"

Diao Laosi shivered nervously, shook his head, and said:

"That's not all! When I was helping Heitian today, Big Fool Liu came back on his own. He's lost an ear, and he's even sillier than before."

This silly Liu had a fever when he was a child that damaged his brain, and he's been mentally challenged ever since.

However, he has a lot of strength.

He would help anyone in Shanghewan Brigade whenever they needed help.

He never hides any wrongdoing when doing work.

I'll take care of you as long as you provide a meal; I'd work myself to death without slacking off.

Yesterday morning, Wang Da Nao and his two brothers took me into the mountains.

That's a good idea. Take him along and be responsible for carrying the antelope back, then give him some of the meat.

Wang Da Nao was completely captivated by the scenery when he visited the Hot Spring Valley last time.

Where can you find such warm weather in the dead of winter?

There are also wild antelopes in the mountains and forests. If you hunt three or five of them, you'll have a good year!

Although Diao Laosi advised him to ask Lu Yao before going.

But Wang Da Nao didn't dare ask, fearing that Lu Yao would say he wasn't allowed to go.

Lu Yao has a high reputation now, and everyone knows how capable he is.

What if Lu Yao says you can't go but you still go? Wouldn't that offend Lu Yao?

So, Wang Da Nao simply took his two younger brothers, Wang Lao Er and Wang Lao San, and the three of them, along with Da Sha Liu, worked as laborers.

They went into the mountains with bows, arrows, and javelins.

As a result, after two days and one night, Big Fool Liu came back.

He doesn't speak very clearly to begin with.

He was so frightened that he was trembling all over and couldn't explain himself.

He rushed back to Diao Laosi's house and cried incessantly.

They were carrying a bag, which they used to carry flatbread when they went into the mountains.

When Diao Laosi took it and opened it, he was so shocked that he screamed "Oh my god!"

Inside was a bloody human head.

Upon closer inspection, the guys realized that this head model was none other than Wang Da Nao Tou's.

They quickly asked Big Fool Liu what had happened.

After an hour of questioning, Da Sha's fragmented and incoherent descriptions finally came to light.

They crossed the Wild Boar Forest but encountered no prey along the way.

But when they reached Wohu Ridge, before they even found the hot spring valley, they encountered several roe deer.

So they chased the roe deer all the way to a valley.

The valley is covered with large and dense forests.

They've chased this far, but the Wang brothers haven't given up.

They then split up to search.

Big Fool Liu, carrying a bag of dry rations, followed Wang Da Nao's group.

Wang Lao Er and Wang Lao San are in a group.

After wandering around in the mountains for more than an hour without finding any roe deer, they also couldn't find the second and third roe deer.

Wang Da Nao was very anxious.

They took Silly Liu back to continue the search.

As darkness fell, two tigers suddenly appeared in the woods.

The two were so frightened that they ran back as fast as they could.

In their panic, they scattered and ran off in disarray.

Big Fool Liu ran into another valley.

A fire was found in a forest full of pine trees.

Upon closer inspection, there was a pile of gnawed bones next to the fire.

There was also a stubby foot.

It turns out that someone was roasting and eating human flesh.

There was a human head on the ground, which Foolish Liu recognized as Wang Lao Er's head.

Startled, Silly Liu got up and ran away.

I ran around in a daze until dawn.

We returned to the mountains where we had previously searched for roe deer.

Upon seeing a pool of blood ahead, I went over to take a look and found a mutilated human skeleton.

There was also a bloody human head, which belonged to Wang Da Nao.

Silly Liu was terrified.

They quickly ran away again.

However, remembering the old folks' saying that people should be buried in the earth to rest in peace after death, and that fallen leaves should return to their roots, he mustered his courage and went back, putting Wang Da Nao's head into the bag of dry food.

The dry rations were lost along the way.

I carried this bag back home.

Suddenly, I heard the roar of a tiger behind me.

He ran as fast as he could.

Then I heard thunder in my ears, and my ears hurt.

He didn't dare stop, he just kept running and running.

Later, he really did run back home.

Diao Laosi vividly recounted the incomplete story of Da Sha Liu.

Lu Xiaoqian had heard it once before, but when she heard about roasting human flesh, she still leaned against Ding Mei and held Ding Mei's hand tightly.

Lu Yao wasn't afraid, but he did become nervous.

The act of roasting and eating human flesh must have been committed by humans.

Humans are the only species that cooks their prey before eating it.

So who could it be?

The Oroqen people live by hunting, but they are not that cruel.

They are warm and hospitable, with simple and honest customs; it's impossible for them to kill someone and roast them for food.

Moreover, the Oroqen people went to the Wild Boar Forest last time because they were looking for Imana.

Imana's father, Batu, once left himself a map of their village.

They are in the northern part of Dahuan Mountain.

The Great Ring Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and it takes at least several days or even more than ten days to get there.

Moreover, they mostly hunted in the Xing'anling area north of the Dahuan Mountains.

The last time I came here was the first time I had ever traveled this far.

Who could be so vicious?

Are there still bandits in the mountains?

The presence of a ferocious beast was within Lu Yao's expectations.

Because older people often say that hunters dare not go north of Wohu Ridge.

There are countless jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards there.

If the weather warms up, there will be countless pythons, venomous snakes, mosquitoes, and strange ants.

Even the military dared not go.

But the information about roasting human flesh is truly shocking.

Big Fool Liu managed to escape.

The three Wang brothers all died tragically in the mountains.

Lu Yao's plan was still to make a living off the mountains and use them to make his first fortune.

Moreover, now that he is the militia company commander, he cannot ignore the safety of the surrounding people.

He stood up and called to Diao Laosi, "Come with me to Shanghewan Commune. I want to see Sha Liu."

This is indeed a big deal.

If it were just a wild animal, it would be easier to deal with.

Wild animals have their own territories and rarely migrate to unfamiliar areas.

After passing through the Wild Boar Forest, wild animals will gradually become more numerous.

But humans are different.

If there is indeed a dangerous person hiding deep in the mountains, then there will be endless trouble in the future.

In his previous life, Lu Yao did not make money by developing Da Huan Mountain. When he returned from abroad, Da Huan Mountain was a scenic area, and the development had only extended to Rabbit Ridge.

Wild Boar Forest is a nature reserve.

No one has been there since.

But in this life, Lu Yao wants to use Da Huan Mountain to make his first fortune.

Start earning money ahead of time.

How can you develop a mountain if you don't understand its conditions?

Uncle Ba and Gou Shengzi wanted to come along, but Lu Yao didn't allow it.

They were all sent home.

Then, holding a flashlight to light the way, he rode his bicycle with Diao Laosi on his back to the Liu family's house in Shanghewan.

We arrived outside the house of Big Fool Liu.

There were only mud walls and no doors; a row of mud-brick houses had been home to generations of the Liu family.

Two of the rooms had lights on at that moment.

Lu Yao had a bumpy journey home and then rushed here, because he needed to urinate.

He said to Diao Laosi, "Go knock on the door, I need to go to the outhouse first."

There was a convenient spot in the corner of the yard: a small open-air hut made of corn stalks.

It was also used by people in the countryside to store manure.

Lu Yao walked over with a flashlight.

It was dark in the corner of the restroom, and Lu Yao slammed the flashlight switch on.

"Ah! Who's there? Someone's there!"

A young woman's voice startled Lu Yao.

Without thinking, I shone the flashlight over there.

My God, what a white half of his butt!
