The lord of Su Zhai asked Liang Shirong, "Have you picked all those medicines?" ”

Liang Shirong patted the bamboo basket and nodded: "I picked it." ”

Su Zhai Lord: "Great! That's great! ”

After entering the house of the owner of Su Zhai, Liang Shirong put down the bamboo basket, poured those mountain herbs on the ground, picked up those mountain herbs, and introduced: "This is the mountain tree, this is the black fungus, and this is the raspberry...... These are mountain herbs for anemia. ”

Liang Shirong divided these mountain herbs into several portions as paired portions on the spot, taught Su Zhai how to decoction, and then how to give Su Yujia to take.

"Okay, I'll do as you tell me tonight." That night, the owner of Su Zhai went to decoct the mountain herbs for Su Yujia to eat according to Liang Shirong's instructions.

After a few days, Su Yujia took five or six doses of medicine in a row, and her spirit seemed to be better, and her drowsiness was not as serious as before; But it can be seen that his illness has not yet been cured.

Liang Shirong went to Yunpai Village to visit the next day, and saw that although Su Yujia's condition had improved, he could not be cured further, so he shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Seeing Liang Shirong's demeanor, Su Zhai knew that he was not Langzhong who was a doctor after all, so he couldn't blame him.

At night, the lord of Su Zhai saw his son's sickly appearance, thinking that he would grow old year by year, although his heart was burning, but he had no idea.

On this day, Liang Shirong came to Yunpai Village again, and the owner of Su Zhai told him: "I don't know why, in the middle of the night last night, there was a cry of mountain ghosts outside, and my son was so frightened that he got into the quilt and curled up tremblingly, not daring to move. ”

Liang Shirong remembered that when the owner of Su Zhai met, he mentioned that Su Yujia was afraid to see a ghost at night, thinking that this was his nightmare nonsense, so he didn't take it to heart.

The owner of Su Zhai continued: "Hearing my son say this, I listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a child's cry coming from outside the cottage. I forced my composure and walked out of the entrance of Yunpai Village, and there were indeed bursts of cries from mountain ghosts. ”

Liang Shirong: "Did you really hear the cry of the mountain ghost?" ”

Su Zhai Lord: "I heard it with my own ears, the cry of the mountain ghost came faintly from the dark and dreary mountain stream, you can't help but believe it!" ”

Liang Shirong asked, "Is the cry of the mountain ghost really like the cry of a child?" ”

"Yes," Su Zhai nodded, and said conclusively, "The cries of those little ghosts are sometimes high and low, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which sounds creepy and terrifying. ”

Liang Shirong: "Is it so serious? ”

Su Zhai master: "In the middle of the night, which family's children will run to Longtan to cry?" So, my heart was clenched all the time, and I couldn't close my eyes and sleep peacefully at night. ”

After dawn, the owner of Su Zhai, who had not slept all night, went to the village to ask door to door. He traveled all over the village, and no family took their children to Longtan in the middle of the night. On the contrary, the villagers' answers made the owner of Su Zhai even more frightened: "My family also heard the cry of a child from Longtan in the middle of the night, which was too scary." ”

"yes, I was so scared that I locked the door tighter. My children were so scared that they hugged me all night before they could sleep. ”

"Is this a little ghost?"

"I wonder which house the little ghost on the mountain went to do evil?"

Master Su Zhai: "My family, and even other people in the village have heard it clearly, and I will definitely not be wrong this time." ”

After hearing this, Liang Shirong tightened his lips, fixed his eyes and pondered, touching his memories of a past incident in Huangmei Dongchan Temple, after thinking for a while, he naturally had a little speculation in his heart, and said to the master of Su Zhai: "Have you gone to Longtan to find out?" ”

The face of the master of Su Zhai was afraid: "I asked the most courageous person in the village to go out and find out." But as soon as he came out of the village, when he heard the cry, his feet were so frightened that his feet went limp, and even the urine was pulled down and his crotch was wet. Yo, even if you make a water tank as a guts, no one dares to go to Longtan at night. ”

"Could it be ......" Liang Shirong said this, and stopped talking again.

Seeing Liang Shirong's expression, Su Zhai asked strangely, "Could it be anything?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Liang Shirong knew that it would be futile to tell the master of Su Zhai at this time, so he waved his hand and replied.

Lord Su Zhai: "Little brother Yarong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liang Shirong's eyes jumped with a few bright lights: "I'll go to Longtan in the middle of the night today to check it, and there will naturally be an answer then." ”

The lord of Su Zhai asked in astonishment: "You go to Longtan in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of mountain ghosts?" ”

Liang Shirong laughed: "I'm afraid of mountain ghosts? I think it's the mountain ghosts who are afraid of me. ”

Master Su Zhai: "Do you want to bring any weapons for self-defense?" ”

"Weapons? No! Liang Shirong waved his hand, "You just need to prepare a torch for me." Master Su Zhai, do you dare to go with me? ”

Lord Su Zhai's teeth gritted his mouth and thought steadily, the water that seemed to be boiling in his heart was churning, and finally he made up his mind: "Okay, if you dare to go, I will go with you with my life." My precious son's life is my life. I can do anything to save him. ”

Liang Shirong thought for a while: "Since you are willing to go, then you can ask a few bold people in the village to follow us, if there is anything, it is easy to take care of it." ”

The lord of Su Zhai agreed: "The most courageous in our village should be my nephews Su Hanqiang and Su Hanwei, I asked him to go with you tonight." ”

Liang Shirong: "Okay. ”

Night has finally fallen.

Su Hanqiang held a bow and arrow, and Su Hanwei and several sturdy villagers held hunting forks and other equipment, and came to the house of the owner of Su Zhai on time.

Liang Shirong had dealt with Su Hanqiang not long ago because of the sika deer, so they can be regarded as acquaintances.

"Let's go!" Liang Shirong waved his hand, took Su Zhaizhu, Su Hanqiang and other people, lit torches, walked out of Yunpai Village, and walked in the direction of Longtan.

The sound of insects in the mountains and forests is dense, and the fireflies are swimming in the mountains and forests, adding a bit of mysterious atmosphere to the mountains.

The group of people came one foot high and one foot low, and finally came to the vicinity of the waterhole. Liang Shirong made a gesture to keep quiet, and everyone tiptoed towards Longtan.

Suddenly, there was a burst of children's cries from the side of Longtan.

The owner of Su Zhai was so frightened that his face changed greatly, and he turned around and wanted to flee back, but was stopped by Liang Shirong.

Liang Shirong whispered: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Su Zhai's voice trembled: "There is a little ghost crying." ”

Although Su Hanqiang and the villagers who came with him were strong, they had serious superstitions and believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world, so when they heard the cry, their legs were weak, and some of them wanted to run back.

Liang Shirong gave them courage: "Where are there ghosts in the world? With me in front, don't be afraid, just follow me. But when we got to the pool, everyone tried to keep it quiet. ”

"Okay, let's go after you." The lord of Su Zhai patted his chest, calming down his frightened heart a little, and together with those villagers, he followed Huineng forward tremblingly.

The clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the clear sky was like a huge piece of incomparable blue silk that spread out.

At this time, the bright moon is like a plate, smearing a layer of silver brilliance on the surrounding mountains, flowers and trees.

Almost by the bright moonlight, people can read the small block letters of the book.

Liang Shirong took the group of Su Zhai masters and quietly came to the waterhole.

A waterfall cascades down from the high rocks like a white stream, crashing into the raised rocks in the pool, causing a wave of spray.

Liang Shirong pressed the torch down and shone it down, the water in the pool was not deep, and there was a spring water in the stone cracks at the bottom of the pool, "ding dong, ding dong" gushing straight up, forming a turbulent whirling water flow.

The crowd stood quietly by the edge of the pool and observed.

The cries of children suddenly sounded from the pool.
