Ji Erzhu led Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu, and soon walked out of this gloomy wood.

However, out of the woods, Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu didn't seem too happy.

Because they are still in a state of being lost.

Ji Erzhu scratched his head, looking at the two forks in front of him and didn't know how to choose.

"It's weird, I remember I've been to this place before, why have I never encountered such an intersection?"

Wan Lin took a few steps forward, lingered in front of the two forks for a while, and sighed softly, "Alas, these two forks look no different, even the growth of plants is about the same. I'm afraid we're going to have to take a gamble. ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked around and said suspiciously: "It's really strange, why are there only three of us here?" It's a good time to pick mushrooms, so why isn't anyone else here? ”

Ji Erzhu's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that we encountered a 'ghost hitting the wall'?" ”

After listening to Ji Erzhu's words, Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu also changed their faces one after another.

Wan Lin didn't believe in any "ghost hitting the wall" before, but now he has to doubt the situation in front of him.

Fu Xiaojiu also took a few steps forward, came to the middle of the two forks, and then said to Wan Lin and Ji Erzhu: "Regardless of whether we have encountered 'ghosts hitting the wall', I have a way for us to go out, I don't know if you two want me to try."

"Lady, what can you do?" Wan Lin immediately asked, he believed that Fu Xiaojiu would definitely be able to come up with a good idea.

Ji Erzhu was very pessimistic, and said depressedly: "If you encounter 'ghosts hitting the wall' at night, just wait until dawn." But we encountered 'ghosts hitting the wall' during the day, can we still find a way to get out? ”

"I'm just giving it a try."

After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and bent down, pinched his nose with one hand, and pointed to the ground with the other and began to circle in place.

"What are you doing here?"

Ji Erzhu was frightened by Fu Xiaojiu's strange movements, thinking that she was performing some mysterious ritual.

Wan Lin didn't expect Fu Xiaojiu to make such a move, but he still believed in Fu Xiaojiu's ability, and said calmly: "My lady is ghostly, she must have her way." Let's just wait. ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, Fu Xiaojiu had already turned around several times.

"Stop."

Fu Xiaojiu opened her eyes after shouting, her face was facing the fork in the road on the left.

The fork on the left is covered with a thin layer of mist, while the fork on the right has good visibility, and if you judge by your eyes alone, everyone will choose the right way.

But Fu Xiaojiu still feels that seeing is not necessarily believing, and he still has to trust his intuition.

"Let's go this way."

Fu Xiaojiu said affirmatively, as if he had seen the end of this road.

"Okay, let's go this way!" Wan Lin believed in Fu Xiaojiu's judgment very much, and walked to Fu Xiaojiu's side without hesitation.

Ji Erzhu looked at the foggy and gloomy left fork in the road, and said hesitantly: "Can this road work?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu turned around and said, "Uncle Ji, if you don't believe me, take another path." ”

Ji Erzhu looked on the other road, and after hesitating for a moment, he still kept up with Fu Xiaojiu's pace.

"You just believe me?" Fu Xiaojiu asked Wan Lin in a low voice.

Wan Lin looked down at her and shook her hand a little harder, "You are my lady, of course I believe you." ”

Fu Xiaojiu's heart immediately felt warm, and he blushed shyly.

If it weren't for Ji Erzhu following behind them, Wan Lin would definitely steal incense.

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu looked at each other with a smile on their faces, but Ji Erzhu's mind was always tightened with a string, constantly vigilantly observing the movements around him.

The scenery on this road is no different from the rest of Dajingzi Village, and there are some mushrooms scattered along the roadside.

But Ji Erzhu's heart was still hanging in his throat, for fear that something would suddenly appear in front of him as he walked.

Suddenly, Wan Lin pointed ahead and said, "Lady, you see that someone seems to be coming in front." ”

In the thin mist, several figures gradually appeared.

"What?" Ji Erzhu was almost frightened.

Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin looked back at the same time, feeling strange that Ji Erzhu had such a big reaction.

"Uncle Ji, are you okay?" Fu Xiaojiu asked with concern.

"No, it's okay!"

Ji Erzhu forced himself to calm down, secretly clenched the dagger on his waist, and stared at the front.

"Can there be mushrooms on this road?"

A slightly complaining woman's voice came from front of them, and the vague figure in the fog gradually became clearer.

Ji Erzhu's breathing was about to stagnate, and he immediately pulled the dagger out of his waist.

Out of the fog were three women carrying baskets and small shovels.

When the woman who walked in front saw Fu Xiaojiu and the others, she hurriedly asked, "Have you picked mushrooms?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu shook his head, "There are no mushrooms on this road, and it's not easy to walk, we almost got lost, it's better for you to return the same way." ”

Wan Lin said cooperatively: "We just encountered the 'ghost hitting the wall', and it was not easy to get out, this road is very evil, you three women should not go." ”

'What?' Ghost hitting the wall'? ”

Wan Lin's warning worked, and the woman who asked the question had a frightened look in her eyes.

The two women standing next to her looked at the misty path behind Fu Xiaojiu, and they also showed frightened looks.

One of the women said, "Let's not go." There are enough mushrooms in the basket, so don't be too greedy. ”

"Well, that'll do." The woman who questioned her had no choice but to dismiss the idea of moving on.

Fu Xiaojiu asked, "Eldest sister, where did you come from?" ”

The woman replied, "We are from Dajingzi Village." You're not from this village, are you? Hey, isn't that Second Uncle Ji? ”

Ji Erzhu, who was recognized by the woman, had already put away the dagger.

"Isn't this Lao Liu's daughter-in-law?" Ji Erzhu relieved himself from his fear and said hello to the woman.

The woman asked curiously, "Who are these two?"

"The two of them are friends of my niece, and I brought them here to pick mushrooms." Ji Erzhu is quite slippery when he talks nonsense.

The woman looked at their baskets and baskets, and asked, "Why is there nothing in your baskets?" ”

Ji Erzhu said without changing his face: "The two of them said that they came to take mushrooms, but in fact, they came to wander around." I took them around, but I didn't expect to get lost in the fog. ”

The woman didn't see that Ji Erzhu was lying, and said jokingly: "You old man, a native of Dajingzi Village, can still lose someone's family!" Okay, let's all go back, this road is mad to see. ”

Everyone returned together, and several women muttered, "It's really evil, we don't seem to have seen this road before." ”

Ji Erzhu's mood was completely relaxed, and he began to calmly analyze the reason for getting lost.

"Maybe we patronized the mushroom picking, walked too far, and didn't take the path we are used to, so we got lost. But I can now see which way back to the village, and we're definitely on the right track this time! ”

The woman agreed: "Yes, what Second Uncle Ji said is right, if you don't say that people can't be greedy, it's almost enough." ”

After walking for a while, Ji Erzhu said, "You can go back to the village by following that road, and I'll take the two of them to find mushrooms." ”

The woman also instructed them: "You must be careful, don't get lost!" ”

Ji Erzhu nodded, and took Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin to a small road.

"Uncle Ji, where are you taking us?" Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously.

Ji Erzhu pointed ahead and said, "Didn't I say before that I was going to take you to find Crystal Orchid?" We almost got lost just now, and I was blinded, but now that I can find my way again, I'll take you on to find it. ”

Ji Erzhu led the road in front with confident steps, and Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin also felt that this path was walked out by many people at a glance, and there should be no problem.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Ji Erzhu stopped and said to the two of them, "It's here." This is where I have found the Crystal Orchid twice before, and I wonder if there will be a Crystal Orchid again. ”

They had only walked on the path that had been walked out for a while, and then Ji Erzhu led them to a corner, where they were now had a lot of low bushes, which were obviously damp and cold compared to other places.

But Fu Xiaojiu didn't feel a chill in her back this time, and her eyes immediately focused on the bushes.

Fu Xiaojiu asked, "The crystal orchids were all found under the bushes, right?" ”

"Yes, that's where I found the Crystal Orchid." Ji Erzhu said, came to a bush and began to rummage.

Fu Xiaojiu quickly observed all the bushes around him, and there was no crystal orchid in the distance.

Wan Lin also walked over to a bush, and a strange smell of damp and rotten smell immediately hit Wan Lin's nose.

"Ahh

Wan Lin couldn't help but sneeze.

"Did you smell something unpleasant?" Fu Xiaojiu walked over and handed the handkerchief to Wan Lin.

Wan Lin took the handkerchief and wiped his nose, looked at his feet and said, "The taste here is very strange, and the taste of Crystal Orchid is really unique." ”

Fu Xiaojiu chuckled, "Hehe, things that are born from decay often have very magical effects, as long as they don't grow on corpses, I can accept them." ”

Fu Xiaojiu also lowered his head and began to look for Crystal Orchid.

If you want to find the crystal orchid in the bushes, you must keep your head down and carefully open the bushes, which will test both physical strength and endurance.

The three of them were seriously looking for the crystal orchid, but seeing that the large bushes in front of them were about to be turned over, they still didn't see the shadow of half of the crystal orchid.

"There doesn't seem to be a crystal orchid here."

Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but say with some frustration, and slowly straightened his waist.

"Oops."

At the moment when Fu Xiaojiu straightened his waist, the small shovel in his hand suddenly slipped to the ground, and Fu Xiaojiu immediately took a step forward and bent down to pick up the shovel.

Fu Xiaojiu's hand touched the shovel, and he let out another exclamation.

"Oh my God!"

Wan Lin hurriedly looked at Fu Xiaojiu and asked, "What's the matter, lady?" Did you find a crystal orchid? ”
