Chapter 457: The Secret in the Mountains
Although the villagers living around the Greater Khingan Mountains are as familiar with the mountains and forests as their own yards, and for many years, the villagers have continued to follow the habit of hunting and collecting herbs in the mountains.
But they also have some taboos that outsiders don’t know, such as not going too deep or some ancestors have warned them not to get close.
In ordinary people's eyes, the endless forests of the Greater Xing'an Mountains are like a sea full of vitality, with endless treasures, but only hunters familiar with the forests know how many creepy and terrifying legends are in this seemingly vibrant old forest.
In fact, many years ago, people from Aji and his village had no taboos when they went to the mountains to hunt. At least they felt that there was nothing wrong with going deep into the mountains and forests. After all, if you want to find rare medicinal materials and hunt rich prey, you must go deep into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Anyway, they have been through this for generations, and they have long been used to it, and they don’t think there is anything wrong or terrible.
However, as more and more people come to Taobao, people start to die in the forest every year, and even some veteran drivers are not spared.
So much so that when Aji and the others went deeper when they went into the forest to hunt, they could still see the relics of many people who entered Taobao.
So over the past few decades, an unwritten rule has gradually formed in the forest, that is, whether you are hunting or collecting herbs, you cannot go too deep.
"Hey, it's certainly risky to go into the deep mountains and forests to hunt and collect herbs. Isn't it normal to die occasionally?"
When the fat guy heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Aji.
Indeed, those old drivers who are exploring outdoors may have an accident when they go deep into the mountains and forests. Not to mention those who are not fully equipped with tools in those years, they have gone to the mountains to dig ginseng and herbs.
So everyone didn't think it was a risk-free job at the beginning.
"No, no, no, that danger in your concept is only in the conventional sense. In this deep mountain forest, there is something we cannot understand, which is terrible."
After being interrupted by the fat man, Aji shook his head and said.
"Oh? Is there any other name here?" The fat man raised his eyebrows and showed an interesting look.
"If you want to trace this matter back, it has to be said to go to the 1930s and 1940s, at that time..."
Aji showed a look of recollection on his face, as if he was recalling the stories passed down from his ancestors, and then said slowly.
In that era, war was still in progress, and the area of Daxinganling was still controlled by the Japanese.
At that time, the Japanese were arrogant and thought that occupying China was a foregone conclusion, so they completely regarded the Greater Xing'anling as their own territory.
Not only do we carry out various exploration and planning in the mountains and forests, but we also dig minerals everywhere, so we can still find many mine caves left by Japanese devils in the old forests of the Great Xing'anling Mountains.
At the beginning, in order to figure out the terrain of the entire Daxinganling, the Japanese used planes to survey the air. Logically speaking, this kind of flight with a detection nature is not about going to the battlefield to fight. As long as it did not encounter any extreme natural factors, this kind of flight mission should be very safe.
But when the plane was carrying out its first detection mission, he fell into the mountains and forests.
After the reconnaissance plane crashed, the Japanese immediately sent people into the mountain to find the wreckage of the plane. At the beginning, the Japanese ruled out dozens of puppet troops (that is, traitors) to go into the mountain to search, but as soon as this wave of people entered, there was no news and they thought they would suddenly disappear.
The Japanese were very suspicious. When they saw this, they thought that someone was engaged in guerrillaism in the mountains. So for the second search and rescue work, the Japanese sent a regular army.
But this way the problem arises.
The reason why the puppet troops were sent into the mountains was that most of the people were local and familiar with the mountains and forests. But when the regular army entered the mountains, they were not familiar with them.
So these Japanese devils caught more than a dozen strong laborers in the nearby villages and asked them to lead the way.
What is not so good at death is that Aji's ancestors are one of them.
Because the old driver led the way, the Japanese army encountered no trouble when entering the mountain, and the traces left by the previous team were also revealed along the way.
So the army followed these clues and went deep into the mountains and forests. After a few days, they saw a mountain, which was the "bald mountain" mentioned by the villagers later.
At that time, more than a dozen young laborers brought the Japanese army to the vicinity of Bald Head Mountain and began to search.
In the first few days, the entire team did not find any strange things, but because they did not cause any serious consequences, everyone ignored these trivial matters.
It was not until a few days later that the villagers discovered the plane at the foot of a mountain in Bald Head Mountain.
Although the villagers had no clear concept of the plane at that time, they only knew that it was a big guy who could fly in the sky.
But this did not prevent them from knowing how heavy the iron lump was.
So when they saw the plane, there was no strange scene that was shocked.
I saw the plane standing straight on the ground with its head facing down at an angle of ninety degrees to the ground, just like a magnet with strong magnetic force on the head of the plane was attracted by another magnet under the ground, and it was standing upside down on the ground in an unconventional way.
As soon as Aji's grandfather and his friends saw the plane standing upside down, they immediately felt an evil spirit.
In fact, let alone them, even the Japanese who were accompanying him were frightened by this wonder, and at the same time they felt it was very strange.
Because they followed the traces of the previous group of puppet troops, now they have found the crashed plane, so it is impossible for the valuable group of people to not find it, but why did they not go back to report it? And why did dozens of people disappear?
This is absolutely abnormal.
At that time, the Japanese also smelled something wrong here, so they stopped in place, pointed a gun at Aji and his ancestors, and asked them to go forward to see what was going on.
Under the threat of life, more than a dozen villagers had no choice but to pluck the courage to slowly lean towards the plane.
From the beginning, until when approaching the plane, this group of people did not show any abnormalities except that they felt that the surrounding environment was a little quiet and a little scary, but they just felt very uneasy.
A dozen people came to the front of the plane and looked around. After no problems were found, they walked around the back of the plane.
Just as I reached halfway through, more than a dozen people were stunned by the scene in front of me.
Because they saw dozens of people walking back and forth behind the plane.
They were like zombies, moving very slowly, and they looked back and forth on the ground with their heads down, as if they were looking for something.
You know, the season was already very cold!
Aji's grandfather and the others were wearing thick coats, and a gust of cold wind could make them tremble, and these people were astonishingly unable to feel the cold!
This is absolutely wrong!
