Then three figures emerged from the darkness of the night, revealing their appearance in the light of the campfire.

The leader was a middle-aged man in sackcloth, his skin looked a little red in the firelight, but Li Si could still see that his skin should have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it was a little dark.

And the same was true for the other two young men.

"This young man, excuse me, we are a nearby medicine picker, and when we saw that you had a bonfire, we came to you." The older middle-aged man arched his hand and said apologetically to Li Si.

Li Si was wearing a strong suit at this time, so it was understandable that this middle-aged man thought he was a young man.

"Collecting medicine in the mountains so late?" When Li Si saw the middle-aged man say this, he also believed it a little in his heart, so it corresponded to their skin color. But he still had some doubts in his heart, after all, these people collected medicine in the middle of the night, and they always felt unlikely.

After all, there are so many demons and monsters in this world, aren't you afraid of encountering ghosts when collecting medicine in the middle of the night?

"Oh, that's right, the herbs near our county have been almost picked, so we often go to the mountains to collect herbs, and we often sleep in the mountains." The middle-aged man explained.

"Then aren't you afraid of meeting ghosts?" Li Si frowned and asked.

"Haha, we believe in the god of the mountain, so naturally we are not afraid. With the mountain gods protecting us, ghosts can't hurt us. The young man on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, and at the same time proudly showed the tattoo on his wrist.

When Li Si saw the tattoo on his wrist, his eyes froze, and this tattoo turned out to be a tiger drawn with a few strokes.

"Obuchi." The middle-aged man glared back at him, and then said to Li Si: "We have the protection of the mountain god, so there will be no ghosts in the mountains and forests to harm us." ”

"This young man, I don't know if we can rest here for one night, we can't find a suitable camp in the middle of the night." The middle-aged man continued.

Li Si thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's convenient to go out and meet people, so you can sleep here." ”

With that, he walked over to the tree in front of him, sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep.

But in fact, he didn't completely close his eyes, and his eyelids only left a slight slit, and then took out the gossip mirror and secretly shone at these people, and found that these people looked as usual, not some demons and monsters.

Of course, Li Si doesn't believe in the gossip mirror very much now, after all, it has missed it once in Zhang's mansion.

But at least now the possibility that these people are demons and monsters has decreased a lot, and he is much more relieved.

"This young man, we are the medicine pickers in Mengting County, my name is Tu Feng, his name is Xu Dayuan, and his name is Miao Qingan." The three herb pickers found a clean place and sat down, and then the middle-aged man began to introduce himself with a smile, and also introduced the two young men.

The young man who sneered before was Xu Dayuan, and the young man who had been silent and looked like a stuffy gourd was Miao Qingan.

Li Si, the county seat of Mengting County, had a little impression in the memory of the original owner, this is a county near Fengmen County, so it is not surprising to meet these three people here.

"My name is Li Si, and I am from Fengmen County." Li Si opened his eyes, glanced at the three of them, and then said.

"Brother Li, can I borrow your bonfire, we didn't eat at night, we want to cook some food." The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment.

"Yes, feel free, the firewood is over there." Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Li Si clicked down, and then pointed to the neatly piled firewood pile on the side.

"Okay, thank you brother." Tu Feng smiled, arched his hand, and then got up and walked to the pile of firewood.

When he reached the pile of wood, he saw the smooth cut in the firewood, and his face changed, and the pupils in his eyes shrank.

But Tu Feng reacted quickly, and immediately pretended that he hadn't found anything, and picked up a pile of firewood and went to the bonfire as usual.

He picked out two longer pieces of wood from the firewood, and then took out a knife from the medicine basket.

He first used a knife to dig a groove in the top of two logs, then he took a small hoe and dug two pits on either side of the campfire, he inserted the two logs into the holes, buried the earth, and compacted the ground with his feet.

After burying the stick, he shook it with his hand on the two pieces of wood to make sure it was secure.

At this time, Miao Qing'an walked to the pond to wash vegetables when Tu Feng was doing things.

Only Xu Dayuan was left yawning boredly.

"Anzi, have you washed it?" Tu Feng walked up to Miao Qing'an and said to Miao Qing'an, who was still washing vegetables.

"Just wait a minute." Miao Qingan said while washing vegetables, his voice was hoarse, as if his voice was not very good.

Later, after Miao Qing'an finished washing the dishes, he walked side by side with Tu Feng with the pot.

On the way, he looked at Tu Feng, winked, and motioned to Li Si.

Tu Feng patted him on the shoulder and shook his head slightly.

Then they went to the campfire, took the sticks they had prepared, put them through the iron pot, and began to boil.

"Brother Li, how did you come to this mountain?" Tu Feng added firewood to the bonfire and asked Li Si.

Li Si frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said, "I have a deceased who died here, and I am here to collect his body." ”

Hearing Li Si say this, the three of them looked stunned and exchanged glances with each other.

"How did your friend die here?" Xu Dayuan asked a little strangely.

"He is also a medicine collector like all of you, but he was unlucky to collect medicine and fell off the cliff and died, and he has not found his bones until now." Li Sixin was talking nonsense, he felt strange from the tattoo on Xu Dayuan's wrist before.

In addition, Xu Dayuan, the three of them said that there was a mountain god to protect them, and other ghosts did not dare to harm them.

Li Si felt that the tiger that killed Cao Qing was very likely to be related to this mountain god, and even this tiger was a mountain god.

Therefore, it is inconvenient for him to directly say the real cause of Cao Qing's death.

Hearing Li Si say this, the three herb pickers were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were a little unpleasant.

"It is really dangerous to collect medicine, and my father and my grandfather both fell from a cliff and died while collecting medicine." When Xu Dayuan heard Li Si say this, he suddenly remembered the past, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Hmm." Miao Qing'an's words were few, but his face also showed a complicated look.

"Hey." Tu Feng sighed and said helplessly: "In this world now, it's good to be full, this is fate!" ”

"Brother Tu is right, it's good to be able to eat a full bowl of rice." Xu Dayuan shook his head and sighed: "At least my family has never been hungry since I became a medicine picker." ”

"If I fall to my death that day, I'll be satisfied." Xu Dayuan said with a smile.

Li Si listened to what they said, and his heart was not very comfortable, he had been here for almost half a month, and he also knew something about this, knowing that many people's goal was just to eat enough and dress warmly.

But many people can't do it.
