Chapter 8 The Bird Calls for Death
I walked over and gently helped Jin Baguio zip up the sleeping bag, but I couldn't help but stop halfway through. Perhaps, the light of the firewood is too charming, perhaps, it is the recent big supplement is too powerful, and I have some blood gushing blood, or perhaps, this is the legendary "food and clothing and thinking about what", anyway, I uncontrollably, moved the hand on the zipper to the sleeping bag, and the fingertips touched the skin on her back, and gradually slid down.
"Yikes!" Baguio was awakened by my hand slipping, suddenly turned around, protected his body with a sleeping bag, and asked vigilantly, "Yifan!" What are you doing! ”
"Uh...... I'm sorry," I didn't defend anything, blushing, "you're so good-looking, I couldn't help touching it." ”
"Oh...... That, how long have I been sleeping? Baguio got up, also a little embarrassed, and had nothing to say.
I looked at her watch (I didn't have one) and said it was only nine o'clock in the evening.
"I can't sleep," Baguio said with a smile, wrapped in a sleeping bag and sitting up, "You can chat with me." ”
I nodded, sat cross-legged on the soft hay, and pretended to be calm and used a stick to pluck the firewood more vigorously: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Tell me the story of you and that ginseng sister, aren't we going to meet her tomorrow, I want to know about it in advance, so as not to have nothing to say."
When I was in the new room of the hotel before, time was limited, I just briefly told Jin Biguio about Miss Ginseng, and since she asked, I told her in detail about the events of the past half a year.
Jin Baguio listened with great interest (probably mainly because she thought it was a little incredible), and when she talked about her grandmother's tying of ginseng upside down, and then, when something embarrassing happened in her sleep, I deliberately expressed it vaguely, but Baguio pondered for a while, still understood, and asked me with a wicked smile: "How old were you at that time, do you have that ability?" ”
"Anyway, not before." I say.
"Then you keep emphasizing that it's in a dream,......" Baguio tilted her head and asked, "Then in the end, Miss Ginseng, has she become a real person?" ”
I blinked, the question stumped me because I never thought about it to this level.
"Probably not, right?" I speculated, "She said that she was dug up by her grandfather before she became a refined person, and said that when she cured my illness, she would have to go back to Lao Yuling and continue to cultivate for a while, huh...... So that young lady should be just a dream, not an entity. ”
"Now, will she become a physical entity?" Baguio asked again.
"Didn't Mr. Hao say that she has turned into a human and gone down the mountain!" I say.
"Then how can you find her!" Baguio frowned, skeptical of my approach.
I rolled up my sleeves and revealed the red rope: "Anyway, she told me at the time that she wanted to go to her, so she took this red rope to Lao Yuling, she must have known that she was about to turn into a person and leave, since she left me this kind of words, she has her way, for example, to leave a few sentries and the like, to help her deliver the news." ”
"Mallet?" A gleam flashed in Baguio's eyes.
I nodded, "I think it should be." ”
"Stick mallet bird" is a kind of mysterious bird associated with ginseng, and people who often go to the mountains to collect ginseng know that once they hear the call of the stick mallet bird, then it is likely that there will be a "good old ginseng" or more than "eight pint leaves" nearby.
However, the more the best old ginseng, the more fierce the poison around (generally for the guardian of the poisonous snake), so, often hear the mallet bird call, on the rash sound to pick ginseng people, many can not come back, over time, "the mallet bird calls to urge people's lives" will spread, as soon as the mallet bird calls, people if they are not fully prepared, they have to run away, otherwise, the small life will be gone.
Of course, along with this strange thing, most of the people will produce a more strange "legend", there is a local superstitious saying, saying that this mallet bird is a ginseng picker who was bitten to death by the ginseng snake, this bird is very bad, in order to reincarnate, it deliberately seduces a new ginseng picker to come, falls into the trap of the poisonous snake, and then, the new person who is bitten to death will become a new mallet bird, and so on. There is always a bird and a snake, which form CP and guard the ginseng.
"I've heard the legend of the stick mallet bird, if that's the case, then let's go to Lao Ou Ling tomorrow, will it be dangerous? What to do if you encounter a poisonous snake? Jin Biguio asked worriedly.
"I haven't thought much about it," I told you the truth, "but I can still deal with ordinary poisonous snakes, not to mention that the jackets we both wear are relatively thick, and even if we are bitten by a snake, we may not be poisoned." ”
Jin Biyao nodded: "If you say so, I'm not so afraid, I really envy your children in the mountains, they know more, and they know more." ”
I straightened my back slightly, enjoying the feeling of being worshipped, but Jin Biguio changed her words and said, "If I grow up in the mountains, I must know more and know more than you!" ”
"Why?" I asked, puzzled.
"Because I'm smarter than you!" Jin Biguio laughed.
“…… You dare to call me stupid," I feigned annoyance, "see that I don't beat you!" ”
"Humph! With your little body, can you beat me? Jin Baguio was not convinced.
"You're welcome!"
"Come on, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Jin Biguio provoked, I really scuffled with her, leaving seven points of strength, using three points of strength, and frolicking with her, but Baguio was trapped in the sleeping bag and couldn't stretch, and was quickly subdued by me and suppressed.
"Have you taken it?" I asked smugly.
"Hmph, that's not fair! If you have the ability, you let me drill out and fight again! ”
"Come on!" I lifted her arm and pressed her, Baguio paused, suddenly unzipped, and got out of the sleeping bag, her movements were really agile, and before I could react, she reflexively pressed me under me, and used her limbs to lock my limbs firmly - a common move used by children in fights.
"Have you taken it?" Jin Biguio "uses his own way to give back to others", and he seems to ask me provocatively.
However, my attention was not on the question of who had subdued whom, and my eyes were completely locked on the person who had subdued me.
