It is true that people who work in the martial arts industry should not believe in gods, demons, or monsters, but should respect and advocate science. However, since I grew up, my elders in my family often talked about these things, so in this regard, I can only try not to believe them. But if I really encounter something, I will still maintain the thinking that it is better to believe it than not.

Originally I thought that I should just respect ghosts and gods and keep my distance from them, but after being provoked by Song Yingchun, I really wanted to prove something.

"Oh, I thought our brother Zhou Bo was a man of great stature, but I didn't expect that he is so big and capable, yet so timid. It really makes me look at him in a new light!" Song Yingchun said with a laugh.

That won’t do. I have a bad temper and I can’t stand being mocked.

So I said, "Come on, I'll take you there, but don't cry, I'm not responsible for comforting you."

After saying that, I took her past the Western Zhou stone statues holding bronze weapons, and walked straight forward. Soon we arrived at the entrance of the cave. It was still the same, made of rocks. There was still some lingering cave wind in the cave entrance, making a whistling sound. I put my ear close to it, and soon I heard the mysterious footsteps again.

I asked Yingchun to listen. We both put our ears against the mountain wall. Besides the sound of dripping water and wind, we could also hear a strange sound of footsteps. It was definitely the sound of people stepping on the ground. It could not be any other sound.

I saw Yingchun's face change slightly and she looked a little proud, which fully proved that I am not a timid person.

After the proof was completed, when I was about to take Yingchun away from here and away from this kind of right and wrong that should not be touched, Yingchun shushed me and gestured for me to continue listening.

I plucked up my courage and listened again, and I heard not only footsteps but also voices. It was unclear, but it was definitely a human voice, and a woman's. The voice was thin and the tone was gentle, and at first glance, it sounded familiar.

The cave must be empty and deserted, so the man's voice sounded long and ethereal. Not long after, the woman began to hum a song, and the tune sounded familiar.

I was so scared that I collapsed to the ground. Song Yingchun came over and helped me up, saying, "Is that my sister?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "It can't be that. If it is, then wouldn't it be your sister's ghost?"

"No matter whether she is a ghost or not, we can find out by breaking down the wall. Even if she is a ghost, she is still my sister and she won't eat us." Song Yingchun said anxiously.

I shook my head. Perhaps it was because I was influenced by too many stories told by adults when I was a child. I was very sensitive to this and was afraid of getting involved and causing endless trouble.

Yingchun was just about to continue knocking on my door when I heard a whistle from above, and it sounded particularly urgent. I panicked, thinking that something had happened to Yunwen, so I hurriedly went up the stone steps to the isolated peak with my gun in hand to look for Yunwen without paying any attention to this side.

"Zhou Bo, come quickly! They are here to grab the food!" Yunwen shouted.

I rushed over quickly and saw many sea eagles coming against the wind, all coming to steal food. The tent frame had been torn to pieces, and the animal skins had been poked with holes. The beef hidden inside had been reduced a lot. A huge gash on Yunwen's back was torn by the eagle's claws, and the blood was flowing out!

Bang!

When the sea eagles heard the noise, they immediately scattered, circled and flew away without staying.

I went over to support Yunwen and brought her to the safe area on the cliff. Her wound was very serious. The eagle claw had hooked into her shoulder blade. If the wound was deeper, it would have affected the muscle tissue and even the blood vessels in the body.

She gasped, holding the bloody wound tightly, her pretty face turned pale with pain and tears flowed.

"I saw them snatching food just now, so I took a stick to drive them away. Who knew that one of them would pounce on me and hook me directly. I didn't have the ability to deal with it. I'm really sorry. You said that food is life, but I couldn't keep it. All the beef was snatched away by them. I'm sorry." Yunwen said while crying.

I felt so distressed that I quickly said, "Fool, no matter how important food is, it is not as important as your life. Next time they come to grab it, don't force it if you can't win, understand? Blow the whistle immediately, don't be stubborn."

She sobbed, nodded and said, "Yes! I will listen to you!"

I held her in my arms and she cried on me. She was so fragile, but she still insisted on being strong to protect the food. I didn't know whether I should say something to her or thank her, but what I felt most was love in my heart.

Looking at the wounds on Yunwen's body and the mess on the ground, I also thought that after all, I am not Bigfoot who lives on the top of the mountain. I don't have its ability to subdue those eagles, hawks, vultures and the like that steal food. I can't do it, and neither can Yunwen and Yingchun. After all, this mountaintop is not suitable for human habitation.

Today these sea eagles know that we are easy to bully, and they will attack us again next time. They are the overlords of the sky, and it is obviously foolish to fight against them. After all, the main battle power has always been in their hands. They can choose to attack at any time, and our chances of winning are not great except to defend and dodge.

I don't have many bullets left. I just fired one, and now I only have four left. After these four are used up, no matter how good this M16 is, it will be just ordinary rotten iron. At most, it can be used as a hammer to smash things. It will be even more dangerous to deal with a situation like today.

This made me think that the top of a mountain is not suitable for us to live in. I also understood why the adult predecessor who came from the Western Zhou Dynasty lived in a cave instead of on the top of a mountain. And the stone statue holding a weapon might also be used to scare away birds of prey such as eagles.

Song Yingchun hid on the stone steps and didn't dare to come up. I quickly said, "Yingchun, come up quickly. The birds of prey are gone. Let's move all the food and supplies from the isolated peak to the cave near the next level of the mountain. Hurry up."

"Have you figured it out?" Song Yingchun shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. I have to help Yunwen downstairs and treat her wound first." I said.

"Then call my sister out quickly. Even if she is a ghost, she knows medical knowledge. She will teach you how to deal with the wounds caused by eagle hooks. These birds of prey are warm-blooded animals. If they are injured, they are likely to be infected and carry the rabies virus, so it must be done by a professional." Song Yingchun said.

"Yingchun is right. The eagle's claws may carry the virus. We need to use soap leaves to clean the wound and disinfect it as much as possible. But what does that ghost thing mean?" Yunwen asked.

"This is a long story. Let's go down first to prevent the sea eagle from coming back," I said.

Of course I know that the rabies virus is extremely scary. It is often said that once a patient is infected, he will suffer from respiratory and circulatory failure within seven days, and is 100% fatal. This was told to me by a comrade from the medical team when I was on a mission before. Although the Eagle Claw may not necessarily carry it, I cannot underestimate this problem. Otherwise, if Yunwen really dies in vain because of it, I will have a mental breakdown.

I took Yunwen down the mountain and found soap leaves among the herbs in the snakeskin bag. I quickly used a metal cup to get a cup of clean water from the spring, crushed the soap leaves, wiped Yunwen's wound, and then washed it again with water. It was a simple treatment first, but it was completely insufficient. After all, the rabies virus would lurk in the body. If the rabies vaccine was not given, there was about a 50% to 60% chance that something would happen.

Yunwen leaned against the entrance of the cave. I let her rest for a while, and then Yingchun and I quickly moved the supplies. Except for the wooden ox and horse, all the other items were moved down.

And I thought about Yingchun's words, and felt that they made sense. Bailu was a medical expert. Even if it was really a ghost, if it could speak, maybe it could provide some advice. Even if it continued to pester me in the future, that would be that. Besides, we really needed to open up the cave.

Because apart from this, the top of the mountain is uninhabitable.
