Chapter 29 The Moon Worship
Early the next morning, I met Xiaodunzi at the station. Xiaodunzi was shocked when he saw Luo Jia at first, and asked me why I was with Luo Jia. I smiled and didn’t tell him. It's also complicated.

We started at about nine o'clock in the morning, until after three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Yangcheng, Shanxi, and then transferred to Manghe Town, which is the gate of the western mountains of the Taihang Mountains.

Luo Jia is obviously very familiar with this place. She led us to the easternmost part of the town. There are many grooms there. They are the aboriginal guides for the tourist attractions in Manghe Town. The shape is very flexible, and there is always a simple smile on his face, showing yellow teeth.

Luo Jia looked at the time, found a groom, pulled him aside and asked, "Will you go to Shuigoupo?"

The groom frowned and said, "Didn't you go to the Grand Canyon?"

Luo Jia shook his head and said to go to Shuigoupo. The groom looked embarrassed and said: "It is possible to go, but it is too far away and the road is not easy to walk. It is estimated that it will be late at night. At this price ..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Jia said simply: "The price is not a problem, you can mention it, as long as it is not too much, I can accept it."

The groom said yes, and readily agreed.The groom said that we would leave in half an hour and we could have dinner first.

While eating, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, but when I looked again, it disappeared again, and I didn't take it to heart.

After dinner, the groom informed us that we were ready to go. The strange thing was that when the luggage was put on a horse, the horse seemed to be frightened and kicked its legs several times, obviously not wanting to carry the luggage.

The groom tossed about for a long time, but the horse was dishonest, so the groom beat it severely with a whip, but when loading the goods, it still didn’t work, even if it was forcibly placed on the horse’s back, the horse would shake off Come.

At this time, Luo Jia said that it was impossible to change to an obedient horse. The groom responded, and planned to ride another horse that was a little older, but the result was still the same. At this time, the groom asked Luo Jia: "Girl, you What is in this luggage, this beast probably smells something that scares it."

Luo Jia was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and said, "I know what to do now."

As she spoke, she asked the groom to put down the luggage, took out a plastic bag from a suitcase, untied the bag, and grabbed a handful of something similar to brown sugar, but the smell was a bit musty, and it was not brown sugar.

Luo Jia asked the groom to take some concentrated feed, sprinkled the whole thing in his hand on it, asked the groom to stir it, and then fed it to the horses.

After the horse smelled it, it still ate the concentrated feed. After Luo Jia asked the groom to load the goods, the horse would no longer toss about. Xiaodunzi and the groom were dumbfounded. I am not surprised up.

After everything was ready, the horse team set out on the road. The groom called himself Old Man Sun, and said that if there were no accidents, the time to arrive at Shuigoupo should be around ten o'clock in the evening.

But who knows, on the way, an accident really happened.

When the horse team left the town and passed a village, Old Man Sun asked us to wait for him to get off at the intersection, and then hurried into a dilapidated courtyard at the entrance of the village. A few minutes later, he came out with something on his back, which was one and a half meters long It is long and tightly wrapped in cloth, but its shape looks like a shotgun.

Old man Sun came over and said to us: "Recently some people say that there are jackals infesting, and several people were injured by jackals. It's better to take a guy with you to be safe."

In the evening, the dirt road has turned into a rugged mountain road, with weeds on both sides of the road. After the sky darkened, Old Man Sun reminded us to pay attention to our surroundings, and report anything we saw or heard in time. .

Not far away, Luo Jia suddenly said to stop, I was taken aback, old man Sun asked what happened to Luo Jia, Luo Jia frowned and said that there was movement in the grass.I listened carefully, but there was no movement at all, but old man Sun quickly took out the shotgun and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, a wolf howled suddenly from the nearby grass, and the horse was startled. Old man Sun asked me to hold the rein, but I couldn't hold it.

Luo Jia said, get the luggage down first, and Xiaodunzi and I hurriedly got the luggage down. At this moment, a gray-white shadow sprang out from the grass and rushed towards Old Man Sun.Old man Sun reacted quickly and fired a shot.

At this moment, the five horses were completely frightened, they broke free from the reins in my hand, and ran away in a panic.

The jackal was probably also frightened by the gunshots, and there was no movement, nor the howling of the wolf.Old man Sun began to complain that he should not take our job, and lost five horses. Luo Jia said that she would pay for it, and asked old man Sun to lead the way, and we walked to Shuigoupo.

Old man Sun said, there is still half of the way, and I am afraid that it will be past twelve o'clock.Luo Jia said unhappily, you just lead the way, and I will give you an extra 500 yuan.Only then did Old Man Sun agree, and walked forward with a shotgun, while Xiaodunzi and I walked behind with our luggage.

The moonlight is good tonight, we can barely see the road without a flashlight, and we stop and go along the way.It was about ten o'clock, and I felt something under my feet. When I picked it up, it turned out to be a grimace mask, which was very similar to the mask worn by Chen Laogou's men before.

I hurriedly told Luo Jia about this, maybe Chen Laogou came after him.Luo Jia frowned and thought for a while and said, probably not, be careful and adapt accordingly.

At this moment, the howl of wolves sounded again, and this time the howls of wolves continued one after another. I estimated that there were dozens of wolves in fear.Old man Sun was also terrified, and complained, what the hell did I meet today? Why are there so many wolves.

On the other hand, Luo Jia said in a heavy tone, "I'm afraid we may have encountered a rare wolf worshiping the moon!"

I thought it sounded weird, and before I had time to ask what it meant, the little pier next to me asked it first.

Luo Jia said coldly: "I don't understand if I tell you, don't run around, we are in trouble." She took out a white candle from the luggage bag I was carrying, lit the white candle with a lighter, and then Let Ye'er grab a handful of wormwood leaves, spread them on the ground into a circle about ten centimeters in diameter, and then light the dried wormwood leaves with a candle.

After the wormwood burned, she blew out the flame on the wormwood in one breath. As soon as the flame went out, a puff of white smoke rose up, and the white smoke rose less than half a meter high, and then began to float down. Gathered on the ground, just like that layer of cloud.

This phenomenon obviously frightened us silly, and Luo Jia's complexion also became ugly at this moment. Suddenly, the candle in her hand seemed to be blown out by a gust of wind, and the cloud of white smoke on the ground also dissipated immediately. Get up, and within a few seconds, it's all gone.

Luo Jia said in shock, "Everyone be careful!"

At this time, suddenly a gray shadow came out from the grass nest about two meters away from Old Man Sun, and rushed towards him. Old Man Sun's reaction speed was also fast, and he directly charged at the white shadow with his gun After firing a shot, there was a bang, and the thing was knocked to the ground without making a sound. With the help of the light, it could still be seen that its body twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

Old man Sun smiled triumphantly, and said, "I'm old now. When I was young, my reflexes were quicker. I didn't need to shoot. I could just use the butt of the gun to overturn it."

As soon as he finished speaking, old man Sun yelled.

When he called, he was looking down at his elbow. I quickly asked him what was wrong. He turned his head and said as he walked, "This beast didn't bite me, but it scratched my arm with its front paw, leaving a bloodstain. son.

As he said that, he came back and let us have a look, but at this moment, there was a sound behind Old Man Sun, and he hurriedly turned his head nervously. I was dumbfounded by the light of the headlight on his head. The dead jackal that was still lying on the ground was gone now, in the blink of an eye.

You say it's weird or not, just now he was shot, convulsed a few times, died, and now he disappeared.

Old man Sun thought it was nothing, smiled and said: "Maybe it's another jackal, he dragged it away, forget it, it's not worth getting a paw just to beat a jackal, let's go on the road. "

But at this time, Luo Jia told everyone not to leave in a hurry, saying that there was something strange.Hearing this, old man Sun rushed to load the shotgun with iron sand and gunpowder.This kind of gun is laborious. Every time you fire a shot, you need to change the gunpowder and iron sand. It is very troublesome. Once you encounter a large number of jackals, it is really useless.

Luo Jia said at this time: "Pour out the iron sand quickly and refill it."

Old man Sun said: "Girl, this is an earthen gun. You don't understand it, it's just pretending to be like this." I wondered, does Luo Jia also understand this thing?

Luo Jia said: "It's not the problem of filling, but the problem of iron sand. Those things are not normal things. Ordinary iron sand doesn't work at all. Hurry up!"

At this time, Ye'er also pointed to the distance and called out, saying that there was a shadow moving over there.
