"Then did those who got sick steal the sacrifice?" Yehaoxuan asked.

"Yes, apart from Po, who is not sensible and goes to play, the two adults, one is a bachelor and the other is a lazy person. Sometimes the family can't open the pot, so they go to steal sacrifices. As a result, such a thing happened." The village head whispered.

Yehaoxuan felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that there were really other problems here. He thought for a while and said, "have any of you ever seen the mountain god?"

"Well... No, but decades ago, just after the liberation, some people saw some steep mountains in the mountains, just like people. It is said that these are the servants of the mountain god. No one has really seen the true face of the mountain god."

Yehaoxuan nodded. Most of what the village head said came from the village. Even if he asked, he couldn't find out why, so yehaoxuan planned to stop.

After a while, several people came to the mountain pass. As the west mountain is usually less populated, almost no one has been here, so there are many thorns on the road, and the wild grass and other things on the mountain have buried the narrow path.

The whole is a barren mountain. The village head took the two people to the edge of the mountain and refused to take another step inside. He told ye haoxuan not to wander around in case he offended the mountain god. Then he left with some worry.

Yehaoxuan and jianglili walked up the mountain together. Yehaoxuan, with a sickle in his hand, cut off branches and other things in front of her from time to time. Jiang Lili was carrying a metal box. When she saw something suspicious, she came forward to take samples with tweezers.

In addition to his own medical kit, yehaoxuan also holds a home-made shotgun, because there may be some large animals in the mountains. He takes a shotgun to protect himself. Yehaoxuan doesn't want to meet a wild boar. He has no weapons, so he has to be close to the boar.

The mountain road was difficult to walk. When they came to the so-called mountain temple halfway up the mountain, it had taken more than an hour. Yehaoxuan's physical quality was good, so she didn't feel anything along the way, but Jiang Lili couldn't bear it. She was panting and almost didn't want to move her steps.

Yehaoxuan took the metal box in her hand and said with a smile, "sister Jiang, it's still early. Let's have a rest here."

Jianglili nodded. She sat down on a stone on one side and couldn't stop panting. Yehaoxuan handed over the water cup. Jiang Lili thanked her, then unscrewed the thermos and drank some water. Only then did she feel better.

Jianglili was also thirsty. She poured more than half of the cup of water into it. After she put down the cup, she remembered that it belonged to yehaoxuan. It seemed that she didn't bring a cup when she went up the mountain.

Her face flushed slightly, then she handed the cup and said, "sorry, Xiaoye, I didn't bring a water cup. You can have some."

"No, I'm not thirsty." Yehaoxuan smiled, took the water cup and put it in the medical box.

When yehaoxuan opened the metal box, he saw that some of the test tubes inside were soaked with some unknown small insects. These were all samples taken by Jiang Lili along the way. Yehaoxuan covered the box and said, "sister Jiang, are these things likely to spread viruses?"

Jianglili nodded and said, "yes, in fact, most insects in the world can spread viruses, especially this time. The viruses carried by these insects spread to primates, such as monkeys, and then spread to people. Therefore, if you want to find the source, you should start from these small insects."

Yehaoxuan sighed slightly. The task this time is not easy. There are not a few insects in the mountain. It is necessary to check them one by one. God knows when they will be checked. What he is worried about now is whether he can go back before Chen Ruoxi's big date.

Due to the urgency of time, when he left, he failed to give Chen Ruoxi a personal message to comfort her. Now it is estimated that Chen Ruoxi will hate himself. He subconsciously touched his mobile phone, but there is no signal in this deep mountain and forest.

Yehaoxuan had no choice but to put his mobile phone in his pocket. No matter whether he could find the source or not, his affairs could not be delayed. Half a month later, he must hurry back to the capital and finish the business in the capital.

At this moment, yehaoxuan looked tight. He waved to Jiang Lili and said, "sister Jiang, please stand up slowly and come here."

"What's the matter?" Jianglili was slightly stunned, but seeing ye haoxuan's nervous look, she knew that the situation was bad, so she had to look back.

"Don't look back. It's OK. Just walk over slowly." Yehaoxuan stares at jianglili's back and signals her not to panic.

The more ye haoxuan was like this, the more confused Jiang Lili was. She stood up in some surprise and walked towards ye haoxuan. Her legs trembled.

At this moment, yehaoxuan suddenly took a few quick steps, pulled her into his arms, and then his right hand flexed its fingers, popping through the air, and several thin filigree needles came out of his hands.

Ah

Jianglili blushed. Because yehaoxuan exerted too much force, she almost threw herself into yehaoxuan's arms. Because the weather is hot now, the two wear thin clothes, and the two people who stick together are embarrassed.

Yehaoxuan, in particular, felt a special feeling in his chest, which made him tremble. The woman's figure was too talented.

"Here, what's the matter?" Jianglili blushed like a ripe apple. With her mature charm, people could hardly wait to take a bite.

"There are snakes." Only then did yehaoxuan tell the truth.

"Ah... There is a snake..." jianglili screamed, rushed to the back of yehaoxuan, tightly hugged yehaoxuan's waist, and looked forward in horror.

Indeed, at the place where she had just sat, a black snake was nailed to a tree trunk by Ye haoxuan's filiform needle. The snake had a fleshy crown. The snake letter was bright red and the body was as black as ink. As a biologist, Jiang Lili recognized it as a five step snake at a glance.

This kind of snake is extremely toxic. If it is bitten, if it is not injected with serum within five minutes, it is basically a death.

Considering that there was a five legged snake behind her just now, Jiang Lili felt dizzy. If ye haoxuan hadn't found it in time, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.

Feeling her fiery body trembling, yehaoxuan smiled bitterly, "sister Jiang, it's OK. I've nailed it to the ground."

Jiang Li let the startled snake turn around again. Sure enough, the snake kept twisting and nailing several silver needles on its back.

Jianglili breathed a sigh of relief. Now she found that she was holding ye haoxuan tightly. Her face was not red. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little afraid."

"Sister Jiang, you are a biologist. You are not afraid of this thing." Yehaoxuan said with a wry smile.

"Even if I am a biologist, I am also a woman. Women are naturally afraid of these things." Jiang Lili blushed.

Yehaoxuan shook his head reluctantly. He went forward, took out the fish intestines, and cut off the head of the thing with his sword.

The snake's life was also tenacious. Although its head was cut off, its body kept twisting. It took five minutes to stop moving.

Yehaoxuan took out a test tube from the metal box, pinched the head of the five step snake, took out its poison gland from its sharp teeth, and then put in several silver needles to poison it.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Lili asked curiously.

"I have an intuition. I always feel that there is something strange in the mountain. The poison of the five legged snake can kill all primates. It is much easier to use this self-defense than a shotgun." Yehaoxuan explained with a smile.

Jiang Lili believed yehaoxuan's unique skill of flying needles. After all, the needles were still inserted in the tree trunk. It's unbelievable that these needles, which were as red as ox hair and as soft as hair, could pierce the tree trunk. Normal people really can't do this.

After resting for a while, the two men went up the hill again.

When they reached the hillside, a small stone temple appeared in their sight. This must be what tree people call the mountain temple.

But the temple is very simple. The temple body is made of rocks and the roof is made of straw. Strictly speaking, it is a straw shed made of stones.

As they walked along, they saw a big millstone at the front door of the temple, on which there were still some animal limbs. Jianglili stepped forward and looked at the animal's limbs carefully. It could be vaguely identified from the bones and body shape that it was a goat.

"This is a sheep. Is it a sacrifice?" Jianglili asked in some doubt.

"It should be a sacrifice. People here worship mountain gods at this time of year. They just worshipped before we entered the mountain." Yehaoxuan nodded and replied.

Yehaoxuan looked around carefully and saw that there were still some meat scraps left here. He was puzzled and said, "it seems that this sheep was eaten by some animal."

Jianglili took out her tweezers and picked up some leftover meat scraps. After a long time, the meat scraps had been dried. She looked around carefully and saw that the footprints of an unknown animal were faintly visible on the ground.

"There are footprints here. It seems that someone has been here." Jiang Li was puzzled. She took out a ruler, measured the residual footprints on the ground, and then drew the approximate shape and size of the footprints on the ground according to the shape.

"The two infected villagers came here. After the villagers finished their worship, the offerings were to stay here. The two people came to steal the offerings, but only half of the sheep was left, and the other half seemed to have been torn by some animal." Yehaoxuan said.
