Chapter 123: The Strange Man on the Mountain
Early the next morning, Su Qingyun went up the mountain with her master to collect medicine, and while going up the mountain road, Su Yajun said: "Qingyun, I think you are quite able to endure hardships, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future!" ”
"Giggles!" She panted and climbed up, and couldn't stop laughing when she heard this: "Master is saying that I am a person who has been entrusted by heaven, and I must first work my muscles and bones and work hard for my mind!" ”
"That's a good thing to say!" Su Yajun was surprised when she heard this: "How good is my family's apprentice cheap Fu family's boy!" ”
"I love to hear that!" She squatted down with a smile and dug up a banlan root: "Master, your greatest advantage is that you like to tell the truth!" ”
Su Yajun saw her happy appearance, and silently swallowed the latter sentence, "But if the Fu family kid's leg disease is cured, you will be Gao Pan!" ’
There are really few people who know medical skills here, and even if they do, they only know some of the more common anti-inflammatory herbs, such as dandelions, which have been dug up, so the two of them can only go up a little, and when they come to the halfway up the mountain, they see a lot of good medicinal materials.
In autumn, the fallen leaves on the trees fell into a thick pile on the ground, and Su Qingyun used a small stick to pull the dead leaves on the ground while walking on the road, her eyes wandered around, and then she saw some cyan marks on the soles of her master's raised feet: "Wait Master!" Lift your feet up and I'll see! ”
"Ahh Although she was puzzled, Su Yajun still raised her feet and asked her to bend down to check, and then saw her and said with a smile: "It's a green head fungus!" ”
After speaking, she lowered her head and looked carefully on the ground, and sure enough, she saw a blue-headed fungus hidden under the dead leaves in the place she had just passed by, but it had been completely trampled on, she took the remaining little umbrella and said distressedly: "Master, you have trampled on it, do you know how difficult it is to find blue-headed mushrooms?" You've broken one! ”
Looking at the thing in her hand, Su Yajun felt that she must not know this thing: "Qingyun, this fungus is poisonous!" I can't eat it! ”
"Ahh Poisonous, she said with a smile: "Master, this kind of blue-headed fungus is not poisonous, you see it is petite and delicate, umbrella-shaped." The limbs are as white as clotted fat, like the beautiful legs of a young woman's jade and plump. The blue-green hijab has a beautiful shape and a colorful pattern, which is lovely. It's going to be poisonous, I've eaten it! ”
Her serious appearance made Su Yajun puzzled: "The fungi in the mountains only eat tree fungi and never eat anything else, because some people will die if they eat it!" This one you said will have more blue-headed mushrooms if you go inside, and there will be red ones! ”
"Then let's go and see!" She looked overjoyed, Su Yajun had no choice but to take her over, and she asked while picking: "Master, how do you know that there is here!" You seem familiar with this place! ”
"I walk around every year, so I'm familiar with the area!" Seeing that she only picks the blue ones and not the red ones, she asked, "Qingyun, don't you want the red ones?" ”
She looked at the red fungus next to the green head mushroom, which was called cochineal, with white legs and bright red hijab. From a distance, it looks like a woman's red and shy face, which is very eye-catching, but: "This is called cochineal, you can't eat it, this one is poisonous!" There is another one that is very similar to it, but it is not poisonous, but I don't know it, so I don't want to be red! ”
Hearing her say this, Su Yajun simply squatted down and picked together, anyway, the medicinal materials are enough, now you might as well bring some food back, they walked all the way inside, just when they were squatting under the tree to pick, Su Qingyun seemed to hear someone talking, and stopped what he was doing,
Looking up, I saw that the straight towering trees were rustled by the wind, and the sunlight sparsely passed through the dense leaves and fell onto the pile of withered yellow leaves. Only a few bird calls were heard occasionally.
'Click! Suddenly there was a sound, which frightened her heart, and she looked over and found that it was a gray rabbit that had been fluffy, and seeing that she was frightened, Su Yajun stood up: "What's wrong with Qingyun, or let's go back!" After a while, at noon, when the sun is big, poisonous snakes will come out. There are enough medicinal herbs, and there are enough blue-headed mushrooms that can be eaten! ”
"Master, no! I just heard someone talking! As soon as she finished speaking, she and Su Yajun fell into silence, and the two of them thought that what Granny Long said was the unjust soul of the person who was burned to death.
"Impossible!" She was the first to say, "Maybe it was ...... just now," and before she could finish speaking, she heard a voice speak.
"Hard!" It was a man's voice, Su Yajun hurriedly pulled her to hide, and then saw a man who was not confused pulling a handcart, this was going up the mountain, and the road was steep, even if he pulled it with a donkey, he might not be able to come up, and now he was pulling it up the mountain with great difficulty.
The cart was packed with bags of things, and there was a cardamom girl pushing the cart upwards in the back of the car, and the two worked together to make the cart move up little by little.
Su Yajun was about to go out to help when she saw it, she quickly stopped him, and then shook her head, although she was puzzled, Su Yajun still stopped in place, watched them go away, and then asked in a low voice: "Why don't you help them!" ”
"Master, do you remember what Granny Long said about the people of Thousand Shadows Town, as long as they leave the village, they will be wronged and asked for their lives?" She whispered, staring at the two in front of her.
"You suspect them of being murderers!" Su Yajun was a little amused, thinking that it was impossible for the two people who had worked so hard to push the cart just now to commit murder.
"Hurry, it's gone, let's follow quietly!" Seeing that the person was about to disappear, she hurriedly pulled the person to follow,
Then he said, "The road under this mountain is the only path out of Thousand Shadows. But there are many dangers in the mountains, how can there be people living in the mountains, the things they pulled just now should be the daily necessities they went down to buy, but they can't pull them up, why do they still live in the mountains! ”
This made Su Yajun also start to doubt, generally even Orion does not live in the mountains, and even if there is, it is just to build a casual house in the mountains, in case it is late or there is something wrong to rest.
They followed them to the deepest part of the mountain, where there was a built house surrounded by a fence of thick logs, and when the two men came to the door, the man shouted to the inside, "Son, come out and help." Then I saw a woman hurrying out of the room to help push things in.
As soon as he entered, the man fell to the side and rested on the ground, scolding in his mouth: "I'm tired, I've really stayed enough in this ghost place, and when the matter is over, we will leave here and leave this ruthless town with Erniu." ”
Seeing that it was not early, Su Yajun stopped her and left, she had already seen the destination, she followed him without struggling, and came just in time to make lunch.
"I'm going to wash it!" Wang Cuicui walked to the well with vegetables, Su Yajun was cutting medicinal herbs, and when she saw it, she asked, "Do you want me to help?" Seeing her shake her head, he went on with his own work.
"They have such a good relationship!" Granny Long was stir-frying, looking at Su Yajun from the window of the smoke and said.
"My master and my wife have a really good relationship!" Su Qingyun said while cutting the green-headed mushrooms, because none of them had eaten it, so she had to do it herself, she was a little hesitant, and finally pretended to be casual and said: "Granny Long is what I want to ask the name of the person who was burned to death!" ”
"Ahh Granny Long was taken aback: "This ......" Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Su Qingyun hurriedly said: "I'm just curious, if I can't say it, forget it!" ”
"You help us like this, since Miss Su wants to know, I'll tell you!" Granny Long looked at her and wondered, so she said, "Actually, his name was not taboo after his death, and after such things happened in Thousand Shadow Town one after another, his name slowly became a taboo!" No one has ever said the name Hong Erniu again! ”
"His name is Hong Erniu!" Su Qingyun was taken aback, and Granny Long was startled: "Yes, it's called Hong Erniu, at that time, these Erniu were still many girls in this village who wanted to marry!" Good growth, diligent and diligent, and will make money. Alas, what a pity! Thinking of the rest of the matter, Granny Long sighed and went to get busy.
Su Qingyun pondered while lowering her head and cutting things, when she was on the mountain, she obviously heard which man said what Erniu, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she continued to ask: "Is he the only one in the Hong Erniu family, Granny Long?" ”
"That's okay!" Granny Long said while adding firewood: "He also has parents and a younger sister!" However, when the people in the town were killed by Erniu's unjust soul, his family moved away, and the row of shops outside was repaired by Hong Erniu with his own money! Then rent it to people in the same village for business at the lowest price. ”
In this way, it seems that this Hong Erniu is a very good person, and when she heard this, she was already sure that the family on the mountain should be Hong Erniu's family: "Granny Long, do you know where accidents happen when people in the village go out?" ”
"It's on the only trail to get out of town, and the mountain next to it was bought by Hong Erniu at that time, so there is a saying that it is Erniu's ghost!"
After hearing this, she also understood the heart of the Hong family on which mountain they would live, and when it came to being haunted, who would dare to go to the mountain that was bought by Hong Erniu, thinking of this Hong Erniu, she couldn't help but regret: "Granny Long, you shouldn't impulsively set fire to Hong Erniu!" ”
Granny Long was stunned, but didn't say anything, Su Qingyun didn't want to blame anyone, she just felt sorry that Hong Erniu died of people's ignorance, and at night she was alone in the yard, and it was going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the moon in the sky was getting rounder and rounder. It's time for every family to be a member.
"Qingyun, you're like this!" Su Yajun came out to relieve herself and saw where she was sitting alone, and when he came back after solving his physiological needs, where was she still there, so he stepped forward to ask.
Looking at Su Yajun, she rarely had doubts: "Master, I don't understand something!" ”
"Tell me about it!" Seeing that she was really puzzled, Su Yajun sat down opposite her.
Su Qingyun told Su Yajun everything she knew about Granny Long today, and after listening to him, she said, "Since you have confirmed that that family is Hong Erniu's family, what are you worried about?" ”
