Chapter 5262 Giant?
“Brother Zuo, this is the place where Zhang Xiangzi’s accident happened in our village.”
The two stopped at the entrance of a narrow valley, and Luo Fengtang pointed to a place a few steps ahead. The bushes said to Zuo Junmo.
Zuo Junmo glanced around, seeing the bright moon above his head, the mottled shadows of the trees all around, and the cold moonlight casting a quiet and cold light.
The night view in the mountains is really good, but it’s a pity that he went into the mountains tonight for ‘night hunting’ and did not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery.
"I'll go over there to check." Zuo Junmo pointed in a direction as agreed before.
Luo Fengtang nodded and went in another direction.
Soon, Luo Fengtang whistled towards Zuo Junmo.
"Fengtang, what did you find here?" Zuo Junmo rushed over immediately and asked.
Luo Fengtang pointed to the grass at his feet: "Brother Zuo, look."
Zuo Junmo squatted down, "Human footprints?"
Luo Fengtang nodded: "This footprint looks like a human, but it is bigger than a human foot. Even your and my feet are not as big as this footprint."
Zuo Junmo stretched out two fingers to measure, and thought for a moment, He stood up and gestured in front of himself: "If we estimate based on the size of the footprints, this person should be two heads taller than us."
Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows. The height of the two of them was in the sky. Among the men below, no matter whether they are from the south or the north, they are all the best.
If someone is two heads taller than the two of them, it’s really hard to imagine what kind of person that would be?
Based on those weird stories Qing'er told her daughter before, could it be that she is a giant?
"I grew up in this mountain. I have seen a lot of gorillas and monkeys, but I have never seen any giants!" Luo Fengtang said.
Zuo Junmo also had a serious look on his face, with a hint of excitement about the unknown flashing through his eyes.
Compared with Zuo Junmo’s excitement and anticipation, Luo Fengtang was calm and cautious.
There are all kinds of strange things in this world. His daughter-in-law Qing'er is a soul from a thousand years later, so Luo Fengtang is no longer surprised by these strange things.
He had only one purpose in going up the mountain this time, which was to find out the monster and then destroy it to clear the way for the villagers.
"Brother Zuo, look at these footprints going crookedly forward, let's follow them." Zuo Junmo raised the sword in his hand and pointed at a series of distant footprints on the ground and said to Zuo Junmo.
Zuo Junmo nodded happily: "Okay, when I catch that monster, I must strap it down the mountain and let the villagers see it!"
Luo Fengtang nodded: "That's right. Naturally, but before that we must be cautious.”
The two followed the footprints left by the monster and entered the canyon, finally arriving near a lush forest.
The footprints suddenly broke off.
"The soil in that area was wet before, and the monster just left its footprints. Now the ground is dry here, so there are no traces left." Luo Fengtang said.
Zuo Junmo looked around, "The footprints disappeared here. The monster might be near this forest."
"Fengtang, have you been to this place before?" Zuo Jun Mo asked again.
Because he found that Luo Fengtang seemed to be distracted since he arrived near the forest.
Luo Fengtang came back to his senses, looked at Zuo Junmo in front of him, and sighed. "I had never been to this forest when I was hunting, but I came twice later. Those two times made me happy and sad. After many years when I went back to the mountains again, I never wanted to come here again."
“Why?” Zuo Junmo asked again.
Luo Fengtang raised his hand and patted a big tree next to him: "When Chen'er was maliciously stolen, Qing'er and I almost turned Mianniu Mountain upside down in order to find the child."
< br>"Later, I heard someone say that there is a village in this mountain. One day, a middle-aged man came with a child in his arms and asked people about the child's parents."
"We were so happy that we came here to look for the middle-aged man, but he had already left early and completely lost his trace in the mountains. We were disappointed and sad at the same time. Between the joy and the sadness, we almost collapsed."
"From then on, looking for the roads Chen'er walked, the places he visited, and the inns he stayed at, not only It’s me, and I’m afraid that Qing’er doesn’t dare to think about it, let alone go through the sadness again!”
After hearing Luo Fengtang’s words, Zuo Junmo was also deeply moved, and even to this day! , although Chen'er has been reunited with Feng Tang and the others, the bitterness and blood and tears in Feng Tang's words tonight made Zuo Junmo feel the same.
"Fengtang, don't think too much. It has been so many years. What's more important is that now that Chen'er has returned successfully, your family will never be separated again."
Left Jun Mo came to Luo Fengtang, raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
Luo Fengtang nodded.
Zuo Junmo added: "I also know how much of a shadow that incident caused to you and your wife, but the past is the past. People should look forward and cherish the present is the most important thing."
Luo Fengtang nodded again, he turned around and pointed to a place east of the woods: "There is a small village over there, not big, ten They looked like several families. Qing'er and I went there twice to find Chen'er. "
Zuo Junmo looked at the direction of the village and said, "The giant is near that village. I wonder if we will go to the village to cause trouble?”
“How about we go to the village and try our luck?”
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Let's go this way!"
The two of them walked around the forest, and could vaguely see the direction of the trail extending ahead. Sure enough, there was a house hidden behind the trees.
When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, Luo Fengtang suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Junmo asked.
Luo Fengtang didn't say anything, just stared at a pit on the ground a few steps away. There were several corn cobs scattered next to the pit. The pits on it showed that they had been chewed and thrown on the ground. of.
"This pit..." Zuo Junmo hesitated.
Luo Fengtang said: "Someone sat out of this pit."
"Sit out?" Zuo Junmo was even more surprised and hurriedly went over to look at the pit.
"It is true that ordinary people cannot escape such a pit, but it would not be difficult for a giant with big footprints." Zuo Junmo said again.
"But, did it chew off all these corn cobs? Judging from the core, these corn cobs are not raw, but cooked. Could it be..."
Zuo Junmo didn't say the next words, but his guess made him feel terrible.
Luo Fengtang also frowned at this time, "It's cooked? Could it be that this person can roast corn on the cob by himself?"
Zuo Junmo said: "Eighty percent of it is roasted by himself. With his temperament of eating people and biting them until their entrails fall out, no living person would dare to give him roasted corn on the cob. "
Luo Fengtang nodded, "If this giant monster can really make a fire to roast corn cobs, it will be really not simple. It cannot be lumped into the same category as other mountain beasts. We must also behave accordingly. Be more cautious and ensure nothing goes wrong!”
