Chapter 205 9. So-so legends

Another two hundred miles to the west is said to be the mountain of Manqu. There are many gold and jade on it, and there are many bamboo arrows on it.Yishui flows out of Yan, while the east flows into Luo.There is a beast, its name is the belly of a horse, its shape is like a human face and a tiger's body, its sound is like a baby, and it is a cannibal. —— "Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing" There is a manqu mountain here, and there is a beast in the mountain, the name is horse belly, the appearance is a human face, the body is like a tiger, the sound is like a baby crying, and it can eat people.

Obviously, this kind of horse belly is the "sloppy" in folklore later, and now we often say, so-so, that is what we are talking about.This thing is clearly an intelligent creature that evolved from a tiger to a human, but unfortunately became extinct later. The reason why horse belly disappeared from all corners of the country probably has something to do with it cannibalizing people indiscriminately, right? This story tells that in ancient times, there was a young man who ran alone into a barren valley, chose a barren area where not a blade of grass grew, and practiced basic skills hard in hiding.What basic skills?I don't know, what I said here is not very clear. In short, after a period of hard work, this young man finally has a successful career. He is going to walk out of this poor mountain valley and return to human society. .

Unfortunately, this young man only focuses on the research of professional skills, and knows nothing about the dangers of human society. He was immediately targeted by the old chief. In fact, the old chief has been staring at him for a long time, knowing that this young man has figured out a brand new scientific research result, which can advance human civilization a big step forward.So the old chief greeted him enthusiastically: "Hello, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, go home..." Without any explanation, he led the young man into his house. Young people are inexperienced. After being downed by the old chief for three cups of old wine, he immediately told everyone his research results. After the old chief figured it out, he added some poison to the wine and poured it down to the young man. When the young man kicked his legs, he died.

Then the old chief called a meeting of the people in the tribe and said: "Hello everyone, I have a great news to tell you. After studying day and night and forgetting to eat and sleep, I finally completed such a scientific research achievement. I have worked hard and done so. It is not easy." ..." But this matter was known by some people, and the truth of the matter was slowly spread, and was vigorously suppressed by the old chief, and finally formed such a so-so story.
