Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 170 Seven: Moth

The black cloth in Shen Ye's hand was smooth and thick, as expected, it was used to repair the roof.Layers of black cloth were superimposed, and the roof was finally covered tightly.

When Shen Ye jumped off the roof, he saw the rest of the people holding the remaining black cloth to seal the windows.Old man Hu frowned and shouted: "Don't waste it! Once the roof is repaired, we won't bring much!"

Shen Ye patted the dust off his hands, and walked to Old Man Hu.Old man Hu took a look at the roof, only to realize that this man was not lying just now, he really solved the roof by himself.Although he was a little appreciative, Old Man Hu still teased and said: "I can't see it, but you are very flexible."

Shen Ye ignored the other party's ridicule, and said bluntly: "Is this because I am afraid that something will be attracted at night?"

Old man Hu tilted his head, calmly: "You found out?"

Shen Ye said: "These stones seem to be flat on the surface, but there are still traces of corrosion."

When you get closer to the hut, you can find that the stone walls are full of potholes that look like they have been eaten by moths.As for the roof, traces of corrosion can be seen even more - don't look at the turf on the roof, there are also thick stone slabs under the turf.Such a stone house is full of potholes little by little, especially the roof, which is said to be hollowed out by insects and ants?Shen Ye didn't believe it.

Old man Hu didn't hide it: "Yes, if you didn't give me a lot of money, I really wanted to quit."

"What is it?" Shen Ye asked, even this optimistic old man was so scared.

Old man Hu paused for a while: "Moths." He glanced at Shen Ye and said word by word, "There are so many moths that you can't imagine."

"characteristic?"

Thanks to old man Hu's understanding of such a simple sentence: "According to what you say, it tends to light, heat, and is poisonous."

When he was young, he didn't know these terms. He only knew that those moths chased people, and once they were caught up, there would be no skin left on their hands and faces.What's more unlucky, then just save your life.Therefore, generally wealthy families would not run to the mountains during this season.Only old man Hu, who was poor since he was a child, was used to running in the mountains when he was a child, and after seeing too much, he could always escape with his life, and others let him go.

According to the locals, he is protected by the mountain god.

Shen Ye nodded: "I see."

Seeing Shen Ye's unhurried appearance, old man Hu didn't know whether to praise him for his calmness, or sigh him for being so proud that he has never seen a moth.

At this time, Le Wuyi was passing in front of the two with a large bundle of firewood in his arms. The firewood almost buried his whole body. I don't know how he carried it all the way steadily.In front of Le Wuyi is Xia Yize, who wants to help but has been rejected all the time, and behind him is Xie Yi, who has been robbed of all the firewood, with a helpless and funny face.

Except for those who "repaired" the house, the rest of the people were arranged to find firewood. When Le Wuyi and the others returned, the pile of firewood was as high as a person.

The firewood was piled in an open space not far from the hut, and there was no grass around it, presumably to prevent forest fires.Old man Hu entered the house, and soon took out two large cans of diesel oil.The two cans of diesel oil were black and covered with dust, and they must have been put up a long time ago.

After opening two cans of diesel oil, old man Hu poured all of it on the firewood. "Light it up at night." He simply threw the two empty cans into the woodpile. "We'll take back as many ice cubes as we can before it's dark."

After finally arriving at this hut, but somehow doing so many things, someone anxiously said: "You man! Just let us do this and that, and you should tell us first what it is for!"

Old man Hu scratched his black and white hair: "Do it first, is there any difference between talking now and then?"

"you!"

"Shut up!" It was Liu He who yelled at this time, "Do as the old man says!"

Seeing Liu He's worried face, the man shut his mouth.

Fortunately, there has just been a hailstorm, and it is very convenient for everyone to pick up the hailstones.It's a pity that some of them have already melted, and when they were thrown into the hut, they turned into water. It was wet, and with the dust all over the floor, it looked very muddy and uncomfortable.

The weather is still gloomy, with dark clouds moving fast, as if the next hailstorm or blizzard is brewing.Before evening, a man came back in a hurry. He had several bloody gashes on his face and many holes in his clothes: "A lot of moths! There are a lot of moths in the west!" The man exclaimed. .

If it wasn't for the moths landed on his face openly, causing a stinging pain on his face, this person still hasn't realized the weirdness of the moths that slowly appeared.

As soon as the words came out, the old man Hu who had been sitting at the door of the hut stood up in surprise, then looked up at the sky, and knew the reason - the sky was already cloudy, and the dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, it looked like it was night ?

"George!" he yelled, not looking like an old man at all, "all of you in! Light the fire!"

Hearing this, Liu He threw the ignited lighter into the diesel oil, and as soon as he raised his hand, he wanted to pull Xie Yi beside him.But Shen Ye was one step ahead of him, and had already pulled him away.Xie Yi looked towards the bushes not far away: "Wuyi and Yize haven't come back yet!"

Fortunately, Xia Yi and Le Wuyi were not far away. When old man Hu called out, he ran back following the sound.

"Master, Grand Master!" Le Wuyi did not forget to bring his "trophy" with him, and seeing Xie Yi standing at the door waiting for them, even though he didn't know what to do, he still urged, "Go in first!"

Everyone hid in the hut very quickly. Old man Hu took the remaining black cloth in his hand and shouted at Liu He and Huang Jue, "Is everyone here?"

Huang Jue counted and replied, "There is one more."

Liu He gritted his teeth: "There are three more."

Old man Hu said angrily: "Stop talking, don't go too far?!"

At this time, there was nothing to argue about. Fortunately, after a while, the remaining four people finally appeared in sight.But what followed them was a dark cloud, twisting and rolling towards them from both sides of the sky and the bushes.

"Move faster!" Old man Hu roared.

It's just that one of the four was obviously wounded, with blood all over his head and face.The other three dragged him forward, apparently slowing him down.

The two dark clouds were finally approaching, but there were countless gray-blue moths, densely packed and flying extremely fast, with countless gray-brown scales falling down as soon as they flapped their wings.Standing in the hut, everyone could smell the pungent smell.

Seeing that the dark cloud was about to catch up to the four people who were running back, suddenly, the dark cloud lifted up and rushed towards the burning fire.

The moths are like water falling into an oil pan, and there is a harsh "stinging" sound.Those moths ignite when they meet the fire, but they don't lose their determination to run to the flame.

It's no wonder that there are moths flying to the flame, but there are really countless moths in front of you, and you can't see the end at a glance.Everyone in the room couldn't help but sweat. Is such a dark cloud that can't be seen at a glance, and such a small fire, enough?

The four people whose lives were hanging by a thread finally came to the door of the hut, panting and pale.Old man Hu couldn't care less, he pushed the injured person aside and sealed the door with a black cloth.

The people standing by the door voluntarily helped, listening to the sound of "stinging, stinging" outside, looking at the fire that was almost submerged by moths, everyone was extremely efficient, but within a short while, the entire door was sealed up.

In the dark hut, someone had already turned on the flashlight. More than 30 people crowded into one room. Although the air was cold because of the ice cubes, the atmosphere was depressing.

Old man Hu threw the black cloth in his hand and almost collapsed on the ground: "Next time, I will definitely not take this kind of work." There are many people and the goal is big. When did he encounter so many moths before?

Even in a confined space, the sound of "cracking" outside is endless.

Liu Ziwei said angrily, "What's going on? Can we talk about it now?"

Old man Hu sat on the ground, ignored Liu Ziwei, and said to the man who turned on the flashlight: "You think it's not bright enough? Turn it off! Are you looking for death?"

"You!" Liu Ziwei said angrily.

Although the man looked ugly, he turned off the flashlight as he said.

Seeing that there was no light in the house, old man Hu said leisurely: "Young man, what's the rush? You've seen it too, it's a moth."

The room was dark, and everyone groped around to find a place to sit down.

Old man Hu said in an orderly manner: "This moth runs towards the light and towards people. It flies very fast. You have also seen its characteristics. It is more poisonous than toad spiders. Although there are every summer, there are not so many. It should be yesterday and today. These two hailstorms should wake them up." After speaking, he directed towards the direction with the strongest smell of blood, "The bitten place can't be used anymore, cut out the meat."

There was no answer in the darkness.

Old man Hu frowned: "Did you hear that?"

A beam of light suddenly lit up, but it was Shen Ye who turned on the flashlight and shone in the direction of the injured person.Old man Hu's veins were showing, he hadn't started to scold, but when he saw the man's appearance clearly, his feet went numb and he fell back again.

The person who still had the strength to breathe just now, now the blood has dried up on his face, his eyes are bulging, and there is white foam around his lips, he has died.

The author has something to say: I woke up this morning and saw landmines again, what a surprise!Thank you Qiqing girl and Fujimo girl (づ￣3￣)づ

Since Ah Tian is not a contracted author, it is not very clear how to deal with this mine, so everyone can leave a message full of favorites and tell me (づ￣3￣)づ
