When he woke up, Ah Shui found that he had fallen through the layers of leaves and landed on the edge of the wet swamp. But for some reason, he didn't fall to his death, and no animal ate at his body when he was unconscious. And when he struggled to endure the pain all over his body and straightened up, as soon as he lowered his head, he suddenly found that the collusion of spiritual ancient money on his waist had faded the glow of the treasure jade and slowly turned back to ordinary bronze.

"Could it be that it was the thing that saved my life?"

Although the answer is unknown, fortunately, Ah Shui still walked out of the rainforest without danger.

After going out, the immortal Ah Shui hired people to shuttle back and forth through the rainforest several times, but he could no longer find his way back to Laoshan. One of the most promising attempts, almost breaking through the barrier of the rainforest, and even seeing the meadow at the foot of the old mountain from a distance, only to encounter an earthquake without warning - after the earth cracked one after another, the collapsed cracks in the ground also drove Ah Shui and others back to the rainforest...... These countless coincidences are as if someone is playing tricks in the dark.

In the end, he couldn't bear the longing for his good friend, and the obsessed Ah Shui had to go to Myanmar, where the strongman was like a forest, and lied that the ancient village was full of priceless crimson jade, and said that he had moved the big drug lord Pei Cha, who was interested in seeing his fortune, and asked him to contribute money, and he would not hesitate to kill heavily, but also help him climb over the rainforest.

Then, after Ah Shui personally led the technical team to successfully modify the prototype of the two "Jungle Pioneers", he couldn't hide his joy and encouraged Pei Cha to go out in person, vowing to rush back to Laoshan before the rainy season this year, even if it was crushed!

As a result, during a route expedition, Ah Shui and his entourage encountered the terrible forest python and were chased by three big snakes in a big circle, only to meet Linda and me on this side of the rainforest. We also know very well what happened next.

Listening to his exaggerated expression, I instinctively questioned the sincerity behind his acting skills, and was about to find a few doubts to complain about his bragging, but found that the ghost monkey "Xiao Shi" on Ah Shui's shoulder was motionless! Oh my God, what he said was all true!

All right. Perhaps, before, he was not so bad.

While I was still lamenting that creation made people, Jin Siniang had already stood up, and while she was noncommittal to Ah Shui's story, she symbolically looked at the sunset that set in Pi Valley, and had already beckoned us to follow the blind man, and rushed to the ancient village in the middle of the dome of the main peak.

In fact, not only Jin Siniang, Linda, Ah Xia and others, including me, actually have the same idea in their hearts: is it true or false? Wouldn't it be better to see for yourself?

Thinking of this, everyone was speechless all the way, and marched quickly for more than an hour, and finally under the leadership of the blind man, they saw the walled gate looming in the mist under the moon. Under the bright moonlight, the quiet ancient village did not become tranquil because of the baptism of the moonlight, but because of the air-dried corpses that swayed with the wind from time to time, it looked a little gloomy.

Walking closer, I really saw the true face of Lushan Mountain in the ancient village: I saw that down the top of the mountain, in a leeward slope, there were twenty or thirty large and small earthen houses in a row due to the situation, and the outer wall of the earthen house was already covered with lush plants.

Seeing that the blind man had ignored Alu's shouts and rushed towards the dilapidated ancient village that had been separated for more than 30 years, Ah Xia and I also had mixed feelings. From the outside, the ancient village integrated with the verdant mountains has a kind of independence and harmony between heaven and man, but because of the catastrophe many years ago, the depths of the old street that are still full of murderous atmosphere, is there really a panacea that can heal my injured leg? Who knows.

Together with Zhengxiong and Alu, after helping the blind man and Ruan Xiaodao bury the scattered corpses in the village, we also gathered in the tulou in the middle of the village. While we were burying the dried corpses in the depression at the foot of the stockade, Ah Xia had already followed Linda to find lamp oil and helped Jin Siniang relight the oil lamp in the old house of the blind man.

The blind man had not yet entered the house, and when he saw the light that seemed to be a world away, he had already stood where he was, and refused to move again. I know that he must have remembered the scene when he was a child and his father climbed the mountain to collect medicine and make a fire to cook in the ancient village, so he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he only left Alu to accompany him, and he and Zhengxiong followed Ruan Xiaodao to push the door into the house.

Unexpectedly, the inside of this quaint and simple old house was unexpectedly comfortable, the windows on the earthen wall were slender, the walls were thick, and although the mountain breeze at night was sharp, it only blew in a little, and was blocked by the plants hanging upside down in the window, and the ones that touched the face were almost negligible. It's really an ingenious design! After sitting down, I took the jerky and hot water handed over by Ah Xia, I also admired this simple and practical ancient house, I didn't expect that this blind clansman would enjoy it! If one day, I could stay with Ah Xia in this unique and majestic place, what a wonderful thing it would be.

After dinner, Jin Siniang naturally did not forget to let Ah Shui lead the way to the crumbling ancestral altar in the center of the village, on the top of the highest slope. And everyone, including me, is actually eager to know in their hearts, will the ghost monkey that appeared in Ah Shui's story still be there? The little real on Ah Xia's shoulder naturally seemed to sense what we were thinking, and as soon as he heard that there was actually his kind here, he immediately put his hand on the pergola and looked around-sure enough, these quirky little guys are all masters who are eager for friends.

When I came to the altar, sure enough, there was a stone cave on the pedestal that Ah Shui said was hiding the ghost monkey. It's just that there is still the shadow of a ghost monkey in the cave. The blind man touched it, and told us how it could be a monkey's den, but a hole for a fire, a place for the torch in the center of the altar to be fired. And the ghost monkey that Ah Shui said may just feel that it is leeward and warm, and it is just a temporary nest.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask the blind man, could the ghost monkey that Ah Shui met be the one raised by his father when he was a child? As soon as he heard my question, he immediately responded to me with a wry smile of vicissitudes: "How is it possible." Don't look at the ability of these elves to reach the sky, their lifespan is actually very short. It only takes less than two years for a ghost monkey to reach adulthood from birth, and the time to survive in this world is generally no more than ten years. ”

I see, a few decades may not be a long time for us humans, but for these elves who are favored by ghosts and gods, it is a vicissitudes of life.

Thinking about it, Ah Xia had already followed Linda and Jin Siniang to climb up to the ancestral altar successively, and came to the mysterious Gu Ding, I was also curious to come over when I saw this, and couldn't help but widen my eyes, and looked into the Ding that was blown by Ah Shui——

It's just that I polished my eyes and looked at it a few times, but Dingnei was still dry and exhausted, where was there any shadow of the Santu River!

"You, are you fooling us?" In addition to being disappointed, I was also a little angry Ah Shui Sheng whetted our appetite, but in the end, I showed this to everyone?!

"Strange! Didn't my father say that the waters of the River Styx would not dry up in this world? The blind man was also shocked when he heard this, but he was still young when he sacrificed with his father, and many important occasions were watched from afar, but most of the details had not had time to remember one by one, and he had been forced to leave his hometown, at this moment, when he encountered this situation, he could only frown and put on a helpless expression.

"Perhaps, someone stole it." It was Linda who spoke, and there didn't seem to be a trace of disappointment on her face, but rather a little absent-minded. Seeing that there was no expected good show, Linda also yawned lazily, Gu Zi walked to the old house, and only left a sentence: "After a day of walking, I'm tired, go to sleep first." If you find anything, tell me Ming'er! ”

Looking at the back of Linda, who was doing her own thing, leaving alone, the rest of the people had no good way, Jin Siniang saw that everyone was sleepy, so she had to make up her mind to continue the investigation at dawn. On the top of this strange mountain, Ah Xia and I naturally obeyed the arrangement, and when we saw Sister Jin leaving, we also followed the army hand in hand to return to the old house of the blind man, and slept on the mat and clothes.

I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up in a daze, and just when I remembered that it was convenient, I realized that I didn't have the urge to urinate. Could it be that the mountain wind is too harsh and blows me awake? While I was wondering, I suddenly heard a slight noise in the darkness—poof, poof—sounding like the footsteps of a man walking barefoot with his shoes off! And, judging by the sound, the voice was coming towards me!

I just wanted to shout to scare the visitor, and suddenly I felt a strange fragrance wafting into my nose, because it smelled so good, I instinctively took a big sip for a while, only to feel that it was similar, but I couldn't remember it, racked my brains and searched for a long time, only then I suddenly remembered, isn't this the box of flower clay prepared by Ruan Xiaodao?! It's just that, although I found the way, it was still too late, so I had to watch the black shadow swagger up to me and touch me.

I wanted to resist, but I only felt my eyelids drowsy and I was fighting vigorously, and my whole body was so weak that I couldn't move at all, so I had to let someone take out the string of psychic ancient coins that I had hidden in the inner bag of my jacket, and went straight to open the door and go to the courtyard.

At first, I thought it was Linda who drugged - after all, this woman also had a criminal record - but as soon as it seemed that the person took the ancient money that Linda gave me, I immediately had a suspect in my heart.

At this time, the moonlight was hitting the figure's face, which confirmed my guess: You are really obsessed, Ah Shui.
