only in this mountain

Xiao Jinsong carried Jiang He back to the place where he lived. The door of the house was open and the light was on, and the yellow shirt was lying on the sofa in the living room playing with the computer.

Before I went to ask him for advice, he made fun of himself, but now he is looking for a solution to the problem by himself, so it is not uncommon for him to join in the fun.

Jiang He said angrily, "Why are you here?"

Huang Shan pretended not to hear, and at this moment, the two idiots happily led Zhang Huai back. Seeing Jiang He was still on Xiao Jinsong's back, Zhang Huai's thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

Jiang He wanted to get off Xiao Jinsong's back, but Xiao Jinsong deliberately refused to let him go, so Jiang He shook his shoulders and said impatiently, "Put me down quickly." I couldn't hold on to the ground and almost fell.

Zhang Huai supported him and asked, "Why did you hurt your foot again? Where did you go?"

Jiang He felt that the problem was not serious this time, and it was Xiao Jinsong who insisted on carrying him back. To Zhang Huai's question, he only said, "I didn't go anywhere, I tripped accidentally, and I didn't feel much pain."

Xiao Jinsong didn't know Jiang He's plan, so he immediately exposed his lie: "Brother Zhang Huai, Teacher Jiang is going to catch butterflies for you at night, and he plans to go again tomorrow."

Jiang He gave Xiao Jinsong a blank look, but he didn't want to act too abnormally in front of Huang Shirt. Jiang He didn't know how many supernatural powers this monster had, but there should be many things that he couldn't hide from his eyes. What he wanted to hide was probably something he had already known. It's clear.

Jiang He smiled smugly, but Zhang Huai didn't express too much. He didn't see any swelling or trauma on Jiang He's feet, so he asked him to wash his hands and go to dinner.

Xueqiu leaned close to Huang Shirt and told him what happened today, after he finished playing a game of Lianliankan, he raised his head and smiled at Xiao Jinsong: "They don't even care about my food, it's impossible for you to waste money. After finishing speaking, he closed the computer, got up and stretched while walking towards the door.

The first time Xiao Jinsong saw Huang Shirt, he didn't know who he was, stared at his back for a few seconds inexplicably, and felt that what he said was very unreasonable, who wants to eat?He's here to stay as a high-wattage light bulb!Don't give them time to be alone!

Xiao Jinsong really has a lot of backbone, Jiang He and Zhang Huai both told him to eat but he didn't eat.

After they finished their meal, Jiang He took the initiative to mention his broken bone and asked him how much he had spent on medical expenses.Xiao Jinsong took out the invoices and receipts he had prepared in advance and a small notebook for keeping accounts, and calculated with him for half an hour. Finally, he calculated that Jianghe should pay him 720 yuan and [-] cents.

"And my mental loss..."

Jiang Hezheng was heartbroken, and when he heard Xiao Jinsong's words, he couldn't help but blurt out: "I still think your words are a kind of harm to me. You have no three views and no lower limit. Spiritual loss is fine, but you have to make it up to me. "

Xiao Jinsong's purpose was not to ask for money. After Jiang He immediately added his WeChat and transferred the money to him, he had no reason to stay any longer.But before he left, he said that he would go catch butterflies with Jiang He tomorrow.

Jiang He told Zhang Huai what happened today, and also told him his conjecture, and with what Xueqiu saw with his own eyes, he felt that his doubts about Yang Lixing were basically confirmed. After all, the strange thing happened after Yang Lixing came. just started happening.

"Do you think he is a human or a monster? What is the purpose of doing these things? It won't be to suck the energy of children and then resurrect something under the ground, right?" I can't wait for tomorrow, I want to dig it up immediately The ground over there looked to see if there was anything buried, but was stopped by Zhang Huai.

Finally, until dawn, Jiang He led Zhang Huaiming's villagers up the mountain together, without Xiao Jinsong, who also slept late and forgot the time.

During the day, the butterflies are indeed black, and from a distance they look like the traces of a wildfire.

However, what was unexpected was that those villagers didn't notice the black butterfly on the ground at all. They didn't have the slightest doubt on their faces, didn't hesitate in their movements, and didn't say a word of nonsense. They quickly dug up the traces formed by the butterfly. one of the regions.It may be that although the digging area is wide, the aimless digging is not deep enough. They didn't find anything all morning.

Jiang He quietly asked Zhang Huai, "Why aren't they surprised? They are all so psychologically sound? Every time the hoe hits at least a dozen butterflies, is it really not important whether there are dead butterflies or not?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Huai said: "Actually, I didn't see the butterfly you mentioned very much. I can only vaguely feel that there is a cloud of fog on the ground."

"No way? Why is it like this? But Xiao Jinsong has seen it."

"I don't know, but I won't lie to you."

The villagers went home for dinner at noon, and Jiang He wanted to stay here alone to continue digging. Anyway, Zhang Huai couldn't see him, so he might as well let him go home and cook for himself in the afternoon.Zhang Huai refused without even thinking about it, leaving him alone in this barren place facing the sun, even if there was no potential danger, he still felt distressed.

Running back and forth wasted some time, and I called a few more people in the afternoon, and continued to expand the range and depth along the central point, until I was about to dig into the rock formation, but I didn't see anything.Everyone was panting from exhaustion, but they didn't understand the purpose of doing so.

As the sun gradually went down, black butterflies were still flying and circling above the opened land. Somewhere there began to be a little blue fluorescent flashing, and then the whole group of butterflies turned blue.

The villagers decided to go back, Zhang Huai thanked them one by one, and when the villagers left to look at Jianghe, he was half kneeling on the ground with his head up and staring at one direction.Before he said anything to him, he looked down at the stones in the soil like a daze.

"Xiaohe——" Zhang Huai was worried about what was going on with Jiang He, so he quickly jumped down from the pit to him, but Jiang He only picked up an oval-shaped stone from the mound. He interrupted Zhang Huai excitedly, saying : "What a beautiful stone!"

From Zhang Huai's point of view, it was just a stone with a smooth surface but no special features, but from Jiang He's eyes, he seemed to see the changing colors of that stone that should not be seen by ordinary people. He could guess the reason if he thought about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated because he couldn't feel the same way as Jiang He.

Jiang He didn't notice Zhang Huai's abnormality, and he was still holding up the stone to look at the remaining skylight: "There seems to be something inside..." In fact, the stone in his eyes has only one main color, which is very pure turquoise green, but But sometimes there is a trace of black on the surface like ripples on the surface of the water.

The touch in his hands is not as cold as ordinary stones, so he gave it to Zhang Huai to let him feel it, so Zhang Huai thought of another question: "You told me that the day you came to Nanxing Village, Phoenix took the Mountain God Stone. Given it to you, what is the Mountain God Stone like?"

Jiang He's glasses were broken and he couldn't see clearly at all, but he only vaguely remembered the red light shining. "I don't remember exactly what it looked like, and I was forced to swallow it without taking a closer look in my hand. Do you think the incident in the village has something to do with this stone?"

Zhang Huai shook his head to express his uncertainty: "Let's stay away from it, wrap it in clothes and hold it for me."

After returning home, Zhang Huai found another box to lock the stone, and Jiang He felt warm in his heart when he saw his cautious appearance.

After a tiring day, Jiang He fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow after washing. He slept very deeply, but he was very restless. So-so.

"Kaka——" The subtle sound was close at hand, as if the ice surface had cracked out of thin air, extending to the middle of the lake.

After being quiet for more than ten minutes, suddenly there was another loud bang from the sky, the bed board trembled, and Jiang He suddenly sat up in the darkness: "Thunder is coming! It's going to rain!"

Zhang Huai hugged him and was about to comfort him that he was dreaming, but he smelled an unfriendly smell in the air.Jiang He had to turn on the light with a "snap", jumped off the bed and said to the second idiot angrily, "You dog, can't you even bark?"

The second idiot tucked his tail between his legs, thinking that if he urinated in the room again, Jiang He would definitely hit it, and screamed miserably: "I'm afraid!"

Jiang He ignored it, opened the door and rushed to the living room. Zhang Huai's stone box was still there, but the lock was opened, and there was nothing inside.

Just as he was feeling annoyed, Snowball's voice came from outside the window: "Jiang He! Come out!"

Together with Zhang Huai, they opened the door with a flashlight and walked around to the back of the house, only to see Xueqiu standing on the shoulder of a humanoid yellow shirt, waving his arms and calling them to hurry up.

"Brother Huangshan made a trap and caught a big guy!"

The flashlight shone on that "big guy", and after seeing what it was, Jiang He felt a little complicated.

I thought it was such a powerful monster, but it was just a goat.

But no matter how Jiang He questioned him, the goat remained silent, as if he couldn't understand human language.

Stretching out his hand to poke the goat's head, it started to "bleat".

"Could it be a mistake?" Jiang He was a little skeptical, maybe because he couldn't hate cute animals naturally, and by the way, he felt that goats were so weak and pitiful that they couldn't do bad things.

Huangshan said with a smile: "It's just a mistake. Anyway, it's your sheep that appeared behind your house. I'll kill it and roast it tomorrow."

Jiang He's mood was even more complicated: "You are an animal yourself, don't you have any sympathy for your own kind?"

"It's true that I am a spirit cultivated by animals, but this just shows that I have jumped out of the natural law of being killed and taken away by human beings. I am no different from you humans now, and I have never seen you eat pigs, beef, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish. I’m hesitant. Let’s not talk about you, let’s talk about animals, Snowball is a natural carnivore, if you want sympathy, let him starve to death first.”

Jiang He couldn't refute Huang Shirt's words, so he had to say, "Okay, I'm a hypocrite, but I don't like mutton, so if you want to eat it, you have to do it yourself."

Huang Shan thought for a while and said: "I like to eat fresh ones, such a big one can't be kept for a long time, you send the sheep to Butcher Zhang for money, and leave me a leg of lamb, the liver and intestines can be given to Xueqiu and you dog."

Jiang He was about to believe his nonsense, when he suddenly heard Xue Qiu say, "Brother Huang Shan, the sheep is crying."

"I do good deeds with all my heart, why did it end like this? Are you being too cruel?"

It was the first time he heard animals speak human language, and Zhang Huai actually looked around, wondering if anyone passed by just now.Jiang He took his arm and smiled secretly, thinking that he must comfort him later.

"You said you did good deeds, but why did you come here to steal from me at night? What about the stone? Where did you hide it?" Jiang He poked the goat on the head again, telling you to pretend that the "baa baa" just now Can't he hear that he learned it on purpose?

The goat suddenly changed from the state of a sheep lying on the ground to a human shape, and Jiang He was not mentally prepared to fall to the ground.

"Secretary Yang..." Zhang Huai stared blankly at Yang Lixing pulling up Jiang He, forgetting to react.

The man turned into a goat said: "I am not a secretary. This man overturned his car into the river. I pulled him ashore and repaired his broken body. In the end, he was still rotten, so I I just became his appearance and helped him continue to live. I didn’t do those children’s things, and I helped you get them back every time. I came here tonight just to get back my lost cultivation. When I came here, the contents inside were gone, but there was still spiritual power left on the shell."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to show them. There were only fragments of stone in his palm. Although it was still turquoise green in color, the color was much dimmer, and the black lines no longer flowed. It was as quiet as stagnant water.

"what is this?"

"The butterfly cocoon thousands of years ago, I always wanted to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, so I turned into a monster. Maybe it was too lonely. Recently, I suddenly started to suck the blood of children. When I went to stop it, my cultivation base was sucked away. At least, I was able to turn into a butterfly today probably because I also sucked your blood, if you don’t believe me, look at your middle finger."

Jiang He stretched out both hands, and finally saw a very tiny red spot on his left middle finger.

"Didn't you say sucking children? I'm already an adult."

"That's right, you are not a child, but the aura in your body is more abundant than all the children combined, and you can smell a very attractive smell when you get close, not only me, but any spirit who sees you wants to eat it you."

"Didn't you say you are vegetarian..."

The goat spirit felt aggrieved again: "Yes, I have always adhered to the nature of a herbivore and never touched meat. I have been eating grass and drinking dew honestly for many years since I became a spirit. I have never done anything bad, so you can't eat me. "

Jiang He really didn't want to see a middle-aged man in his 40s crying, so he quickly said, "Don't eat or eat, don't worry. But, you said that butterfly ran away, will it continue to suck human blood? "

The goat spirit didn't answer, and the yellow shirt on the side said: "No, it has fulfilled its long-cherished wish to be free, and the next practice will be very easy."

"That's good." Fortunately, it didn't cause irreversible consequences, so let it go.

After the trouble was solved, Jiang He's spirit relaxed immediately, he yawned and said, "Since we're all fine, let's all go back and rest."

The goat spirit grabbed Jiang He's sleeve and begged, "I... can I bite you?"

"No." Zhang Huai held Jiang He in his arms and firmly refused for Jiang He.

"Oh." The goat spirit turned around desolately, and turned back three times at a step, before disappearing completely within the range of the flashlight after a long time.

Huang Shan was a little regretful: "Oh, the good leg of lamb is gone."
