"Do you know how many mosquitoes there are?"
Xu Bo'an thought that if there were not many, he would try to come out and slap them to death.
Yan Shouyi shook his head and said: "We don't know exactly how many there are. We have encountered about thirty or forty so far."
Xu Bo'an frowned slightly.
As we all know, mosquitoes that bite humans are all female mosquitoes, that is, female mosquitoes.
Male mosquitoes rely on food such as nectar, fruits, stems, and leaves of plants to survive.
According to a one-to-one ratio, the number of mosquitoes encountered by Yan Shuyi, plus the male mosquitoes that did not appear, must have reached nearly a hundred mosquitoes.
With so many mosquitoes staying here, they are definitely a tyrant!
It may not sound like a big deal, but you must know that these mosquitoes are the size of calves!
Think about it, seventy or eighty mosquitoes that big gather together and stare at you eagerly.
How about it? Is the picture feeling coming?
Yan Shouyi continued: "These mosquitoes are as big as calves, they are extremely fierce, and they are not afraid of life and death. We have never faced such enemies, so we were caught off guard!"
Mosquitoes are just animals that rely on instinct to live. Although they are also afraid, they are not very intelligent, so of course they will not be afraid.
What's more, in this year of severe drought, it is almost starving to death, so naturally it is not afraid of life and death!
Not to mention mosquitoes, even human beings will become much more courageous when faced with a certain death situation and fight to the death.
For example, the famous Last Stand, this is the truth!
Xu Boan asked again: "How many of you have been injured by these mosquitoes!"
When Yan Shou heard this, he gritted his teeth with a sad expression, and then continued: "This time to suppress bandits, We dispatched a total of more than 200 brothers, divided into five teams, each with about forty people. Now half of the brothers in my team have been injured."
Hearing the casualties. With such a large number of people, Xu Bo'an said in shock: "What? So many people were bitten by mosquitoes? You are all armed people. No matter how powerful the mosquitoes are, they are just as numerous as you, so they can be easily defeated by mosquitoes. Well?”
Yan Shouyi said with shame: “Our brothers were attacked by mosquitoes at night. By the time we discovered these mosquitoes appeared, more than ten of our brothers had been bitten by these mosquitoes. This is terrible. It wasn't just a bite, but it almost sucked all the blood out of a person! Some brothers were saved from being sucked out of blood because of their timely discovery, but they still didn't survive long
< br>
The remaining ten of us brothers could only fight and retreat along the way, but how can a person's legs compare to others' wings, so a few more were taken away on the way. We were also lucky enough to hide here. Escaped! "
The more Yan Shouyi spoke, the more sorrowful his face became, and at the same time, he was deeply blaming himself.
The dignified seven-foot-tall man, his eyes were red, and he was probably about to cry.
Xu Bo'an sighed and said: "Okay, now is not the time to be sad, and these things are not what you want to see. Cheer up and cry sadly will not solve any problems! ”
Attacks in sleep are the most deadly.
While sleeping, it is a good time for the opponent to take action.
Don’t talk about resisting at this time, just sleep directly Go to Naihe Bridge.
In countless ancient classic battles, night attacks have always been a common strategy, which shows that attacking at night is indeed effective!
And everyone knows that mosquitoes bite people. It's very light. If it doesn't buzz a few times in your ear, there will be almost no movement.
When you fall asleep at night, you will naturally not hear his cry. Xu Bo'an Xia Tian. I was often bitten by mosquitoes when I was young, and sometimes I would wake up with several pimples on my body. Only when I felt itchy did I realize that the mosquitoes had already disappeared.
If you suck all the blood in one mouthful like this, you won't be able to wake up for the rest of your life.
Yan Shou gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa Mountain God, I hope you can help! Although I know that to you, the thousands of creatures in the mountains and forests are all your people, but these giant mosquitoes do many evil things. The methods are cruel. If you ignore them and allow them to develop, these things will become more and more powerful and affect more people's lives! I believe you don't want to see these tragedies in the world."
He is worthy of being a leader. He is a capable person. Although this matter is reasonable and reasonable, he is also on his own side.
From a purely neutral point of view, this is definitely a moral kidnapping.
If the body of this mountain god is a mosquito, and you instigate others to deal with your own kind, you will be so angry that you will burst into anger!
Fortunately, Xu Boan is not a mosquito saint, he is a real person, so naturally he is on Yan Shouyi's side.
Eliminating mosquitoes and saving our little people can gain people's admiration and even incense and willpower, so why not do it!
Thinking of this, Xu Boan asked Yan Shou: "Yan Shouyi, where is this place now?"
Yan Shouyi said hurriedly: "This is a temple halfway up the mountain. , originally I had no hope, I just temporarily hoped that the doors and windows could block the intrusion of those terrifying giant mosquitoes. I didn’t expect that the plaque enshrined here is actually your honor, so I dare to ask you to see it and help me. I will uphold justice and save my life!"
As Yan Shouyi finished speaking, several people behind him also spoke up and begged Grandpa Mountain God for help!
Xu Bo'an smiled helplessly after hearing this, and waited for these people's voices to become quieter before asking: "I'm not asking you where this temple is? I'm asking you where this place is! You guys are hiding here. "Is it safe?"
In Xu Bo'an's opinion, it is difficult for such a rotten house to resist such powerful mosquitoes.
Looking up briefly, the dilapidated roof is a good way to get in and out.
These frightened little guys only focused on checking the fastening of doors and windows, but they forgot that mosquitoes can fly, and the roof is also an important attack channel!
Now we need to figure out where this place is so that we can better start implementing mosquito control operations according to relevant opportunities.
Hearing Xu Boan's emphasis, Yan Shou raised his hand and pretended to cough, hiding his embarrassment.
After the coughing stopped, Yan Shouyang bowed his hands towards the statue and introduced: "This place is called Feipu Cliff, which is one of the thirty-two main peaks of Yushan Mountain. Because in the early years, there was a spectacular scenery between this peak. The waterfall flows straight down, hence the name. "
Hearing that this place is also one of the thirty-two main peaks of Yushan, Xu Boan's heart suddenly moved.
In this way, this place is still the boundary of Yushan. Seriously, it is my own territory!
No wonder Yan Shouyi was able to summon himself here.
In this way, my territory has expanded by another peak!
This is good news.
Xu Bo'an said casually with a smile: "Well, yes, Fei Waterfall Cliff is a good name, but you just said that there were waterfalls here in the early years, does that mean there are no waterfalls here now?" As soon as he asked, Xu Boan realized that it was unnecessary for him to ask this question.
In the past few years of severe drought, the groundwater can hardly be recovered, and the rivers have become dry and cracked. It is strange that the waterfalls can remain as normal!
Sure enough, Yan Shouyi explained again: "Back to Grandpa Mountain God, because of the continuous drought in recent years, the Feipuya Waterfall has long stopped flowing, but there are still some depressions on the shady side. Some muddy water, like a swamp. We have seen several places on the way here!"
Hearing what Yan Shouyi said about the accumulation of some muddy water in the shady depression, like a swamp, Xu Boan understood this again! This is where giant mosquitoes gather.
After all, mosquitoes mostly live and gather in places with high humidity, dampness, concealment, and poor ventilation.
This place is suitable for them to survive and reproduce!
Xu Bo'an asked: "When you encountered these giant mosquitoes, were you around the mud pond in this depression?"
Yan Shou nodded and said: "Grandpa Mountain God is really good at predicting things. Yes, we were attacked around there! We marched there in a hurry and consumed most of the water we brought. We found a place around the quagmire and prepared Taking advantage of the shallow soil around us, we planned to drain some clean water.
I didn’t expect that there were so many giant mosquitoes there! And these guys were not afraid of people at all, but they were very excited when they saw us. You can rush towards us directly!”
Xu Boan didn’t think this was very curious.
You must know that this is a year of drought. There are few animals in the forest, and there are even fewer animals that can be sucked by them.
From the perspective of the victims, although mosquitoes are hateful, they are still trying to survive!
These mosquitoes have spent every day hungry.
Now someone finally breaks in. In the eyes of these mosquitoes, it is the time when the canteen is open for dinner, so they will pounce on them and bite people!
It’s just that ordinary mosquitoes just suck blood from the mouth, and a bite will basically make you squirt. This giant mosquito is like a vampire, sucking all your blood in one go. It's terrible!
"There are giant mosquitoes like the ones you mentioned around my temple! I would like to meet them first!"
Xu Boan said casually, without any fear in his heart.
After all, he is helping Yan Shouyi through the mountain temple. On his own territory, let alone mosquitoes, you have to coil up for me even if it is a dragon, and you have to lie down for me even if it is a tiger!
What's more, Xu Bo'an has no physical form inside, so mosquitoes won't even have a chance to bite him!
Those mosquitoes should not bite the clay statues in the mountain temple.
Yan Shouyi awkwardly stretched out his hand to point the way and said: "It's in a depression in the mountain stream not far across the way. Grandpa Mountain God, are you going to avenge me, the villain?"
Xu Boan snorted lightly, then stood up and went up to the broken roof. The next moment, as expected, Xu Boan's eyes rushed out of the mountain temple.
Sure enough, the rules I summarized are quite reliable.
As long as the roof is connected to the outside, you can see the scene outside.
After Xu Boan raised his sight and looked down from a bird's eye view, a huge mountain suddenly came into view.
The surface of the mountain is covered with a thick layer of gravel. It is a rock that has been dried and cracked for many years. There are several large cracks on the rock, like the open lips of the thirsty earth, silently The ground speaks of a desire for moisture.
The sun is mercilessly scorching this land, and every grain of sand and stone seems to be trembling, emitting waves of heat.
The vegetation on the mountain is sparse and withered. They are struggling, trying to draw a bit of life from this barren land.
A few stubborn shrubs, whose leaves have long been curled, still stick to this land. Their existence has become the only sign of life on the mountain.
The wind, with its dryness and scorching heat, swept over the top of the mountain, kicking up bursts of dust as if it were the sigh of nature.
Just this glance seemed to activate Xu Bo'an's past memories. Xu Bo'an suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen this place before, but the place in his memory was not like this at all!
The old waterfall cliff was once the place with the most singing birds and the fragrance of flowers in the Yushan Mountains.
This mountain peak was famous for its spectacular waterfall in the past. The water rushed down from the top of the cliff, like white water hanging on the wall, the sound shook the valley, nourished the surrounding creatures, and painted a picture of vitality A vigorous landscape painting.
However, time has passed and successive years of drought have quietly changed the appearance of this place like a ruthless sculptor. The once roaring and majestic waterfall is now only silence and desolation.
The exposed rocks, without the touch of water, appear particularly rough and indifferent. They quietly tell the story of the glory of the past and the loneliness of today.
Under the cliff of the waterfall, outside the originally lush pool, the dry river bed has cracks, like the thirsty lips of Mother Earth, longing for a drop of nourishment.
The originally lush vegetation around it has gradually withered due to the depletion of water sources, and has been replaced by patches of withered yellow and desolation. Occasionally, there are a few tenacious plants struggling to survive in the cracks, which looks particularly desolate and tenacious.
Xu Boan only felt a sense of sadness emerge from his mind.
Well, it seems that this is the memory of the former mountain god of Yushan. I just don’t know where those mosquitoes are hiding now!
Xu Boan was here carefully looking for those giant mosquitoes. Inside the mountain temple, he saw Yan Shou kowtow several times to the honor of Grandpa Mountain God, with a resolute and determined look on his face!
After Yan Shou kowtowed, he raised his head and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God, for avenging our brothers! I know that my sins are serious, so I committed suicide today to follow my dead brothers, maybe on the road to hell." Don’t be lonely!”
As soon as Yan Shou finished speaking, he stood up suddenly and rushed towards the far wall.
A clever soldier rushed over with quick eyes and hands, hugged Yan Shouyi's waist tightly, and shouted: "Mr. Yan Qian, what are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with you. Ah! This is not the first time for anyone to see such a big mosquito. Everyone can only say that they are in danger."
Yan Shou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with sobs: "These brothers. I brought them all out. They have not yet seen the bandit den, they have not made any meritorious service, and they have not yet honored their ancestors, yet they have encountered such a tragedy. Moreover, there are many of them who came with me from Shanyang Order. , after suffering such a disaster, how can I have the dignity to go back? I'd better die."
The brothers lost half of their troops before the victory was achieved. This is indeed a bit frustrating. It's cold.
What’s more, these people are still Yan Shouyi’s old subordinates, and many of them are even fellow townsmen from Shanyang County!
How could he have the face to face the wives, children, and children of these subordinates? The only option is to die as an apology! (End of chapter)
