After not picking a single fungus for a few days, Teng Dashan was a little frustrated. Not long after sitting down, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the mountain rain was coming.

Seeing that he couldn't walk, he simply opened his backpack, took out the tarpaulin, and built a small canopy for himself on the small trees around him, and the canopy was built on a high mound, and drilled into the canopy.

Teng Dashan took out the wine and bacon, took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and drank happily.

Dizzy, Teng Dashan heard a sound outside the shed, "What a fragrant wine!", thinking that it was also a person who came to collect mushrooms, he exhaled enthusiastically, "Come in to avoid the rain and drink two sips together." ”

But he shouted a few times, and no one came in, Teng Dashan curiously stretched his head out of the canopy to look, and gasped, in the twilight, a tall back sat under a tree not far from the canopy, dressed in a robe, not at all a normal person's dress.

Hearing the movement in the canopy, the back seemed to know that Teng Dashan had seen him, sighed and said: "I won't go in to disturb, the bottom of your shed is my residence, for more than a thousand years, you are the first person who can shelter me from the wind and rain." ”

Hearing it for more than a thousand years, Teng Dashan knew that this was an encounter, either a god or a ghost, and then he heard that the bottom of the shed was his residence, this must be a ghost, which god and immortal do not have a cave?

Teng Dashan almost fainted in shock, and he was trembling all over at the moment, just the feeling of trembling and wanting to go first.

Fortunately, Teng Dashan usually respects ghosts and gods, and more or less knows the etiquette of worshipping ghosts and gods.

He hurriedly spilled the wine in the cup on the ground, and said to the back: "Then I will toast you, I am here to collect mushrooms, I have no intention of breaking into here today, disturbing you, you don't remember the villain, please understand." I hope you don't hurt me, I still have three children in my family that I still need to raise. ”

The back listened to Teng Dashan's words, smiled and said: "You are too worried, and you guessed correctly, I am a ghost, but not all ghosts will harm people?"

Listening to the ghost's words, Teng Dashan's heart felt a little more at ease, and he dared to ask the ghost: "Then you have been here for a thousand years, haven't you been reincarnated?"

The ghost smiled again and said, "I'm used to being here alone, and I don't want to re-enter the world." Compared with the sinister world of people's hearts, I am very quiet here, and the flowers and plants here get along very well, the flowers and plants here grow naturally, and the flowers and plants do not have your greed, although I am a ghost, but I can live in harmony with nature, and then reincarnate, I am afraid that I will not be able to find such an environment. ”

Teng Dashan heard the ghost talk about people's greed, and couldn't help but think of the black hands that people in the village did not leave a trace of when collecting fungi over the years, and this is how it led to the inability to collect fungi today!

When the ghost said this, he was also a ghost with insight, and he secretly admired it in his heart.

So Teng Dashan said to the ghost: "Although people and ghosts have different paths, we can be regarded as acquaintances, you come in, let's have two cups together, I still have good bacon here, you can also taste it." ”

When the ghost heard Teng Dashan say that there was bacon, his heart was also moved, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, in order not to frighten you, I am still masked, you are not surprised." ”

Teng Dashan thought that it was just right, but said in his mouth: "Be polite, you are arbitrary." ”

The ghost knew that Teng Dashan was going into the mountains to collect fungi, and the ghost was very familiar with the surrounding terrain and vegetation, so he pointed out where there were fungi in Teng Dashan, where the fungi were big, and at the same time told him not to kill when collecting fungi, and the small fungi would stay, so that they could grow up, so that this fungus would not become extinct.

Teng Dashan had already agreed with what the ghost said before, and said now that he would definitely pay attention to this aspect in the future, control his desires, and leave a way for Xiao Fungus to live.

Teng Dashan asked the ghost if he had any unfulfilled wishes, and he was willing to do his best to help the ghost.

The ghost said, there is only one point, he was thrown here at the beginning, and he did not enter the earth for peace, he can only let the wind and rain blow for a thousand years, if he can bury his bones and let himself be buried in the earth when he leaves here, he will be grateful, and he will definitely repay him.

Teng Dashan listened to the ghost's request, and said without hesitation: "I don't need you to say that I will do the same." ”

One person and one ghost were too strong to drink, Teng Dashan fell to the ground drunk, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright, the sky was sunny after the rain, and the ghost did not know where to go.

Teng Dashan packed up the rain cloth and found a few bones under a tree where the rain cloth was attached, knowing that this was the remains of last night's ghost.

He respectfully dug a pit for these bones and buried them, bowed a few more times, and said that he would come here again next year, and he would definitely bring tribute to pay respects here.

Subsequently, Teng Dashan picked a lot of fungi according to the instructions of the ghost last night, and this time, he also followed the ghost's instructions, only picking the big ones and leaving the small ones, so that if he came here again in the next year, he didn't have to run the wrong road to look for them everywhere.

This time into the mountain, Teng Dashan harvested more than ever before, and more than anyone in the village, and they were all large high-quality mushrooms.

Everyone asked him if he had found a new source of fungi, Teng

Dashan didn't hide his secrets, and told everyone about the valley pointed by the ghost, and told the ghost to tell everyone not to kill them, and leave the small one.

But there are smart people who have a small abacus, since Teng Dashan has left a lot of small mushrooms, then they go to that place to pick the small mushrooms, which is somewhat of a harvest.

So he entered the valley according to the direction Teng Dashan said, but when he entered the valley, he found that there was a fungus somewhere?

When the people who entered the mountain came back, they looked for Teng Dashan's back tent, saying that he was too bad and deceived them into running away. Teng Dashan was surprised, saying that he didn't tell a lie?

Every year after that, Teng Dashan went to that valley to collect mushrooms, and every time he could return with a full load, the family's economy gradually relaxed, which was all thanks to the blessing of being able to collect mushrooms.

But when the others arrived in that valley, they never picked a single fungus, because only Teng Dashan could control his desire when collecting mushrooms, and he didn't do anything black.

Other people are reporting the mentality of picking all the fungi, with such a mentality, there will be a strong murderous aura, before getting close, this murderous aura has forced the bacteria, and the fungi are estimated to have already fled, so they can't see a fungus, let alone pick one.

There is such a custom in Fengjia Village, if a minor child dies or dies of illness, he cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, but can only be discarded to the "death forest" outside the village, where he can be eaten by crows and wild dogs.

Feng Laohan is a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, because he suffered from leprosy when he was a child, not only disfigured, but also his right leg is a little sloping, and he has not yet started a family.

Although Feng Laohan is not from Fengjia Village, because he often goes there to sell things, he knows the customs of Fengjia Village, and every time he walks to the "Forest of Death", he will light a few incense sticks and stick them on the ground to worship countless dead souls.

A few days ago, Aunt Feng of Fengjia Village asked him to bring a few feet of flower cloth, and sent the cloth to Aunt Feng as soon as possible, and did not delay him to go to other villages to do business.

When passing by the "Forest of Death", Feng Laohan heard bursts of wild dogs barking and the hoarse cry of babies.

Through the mist, I saw a baby lying on the ground, its legs and arms, and next to it were four or five wild dogs baring their teeth and whirling back and forth, as if waiting for the child to breathe.

Feng Laohan picked up the wooden stick on the ground casually, beat the wild dog away with the stick, then unbuttoned his shirt, covered the child who was blue from the cold, and muttered: "The cry is so loud, I thought it was a male baby, but I didn't expect you to be a female baby." Hey, there are such ruthless parents in the world, throwing a good child into the 'forest of death', isn't this asking for the child's life!"

"Good boy, don't cry......" Feng Laohan patted the baby girl's back and coaxed softly.

As if she understood, the baby girl stopped crying, and stared at Old Man Feng with big eyes full of tears.

Feng Laohan knocked on the door of Aunt Feng's house with the child, Aunt Feng took the flower cloth, glanced at the baby girl, and then stuffed the money into his jacket pocket, and joked with a smile: "Brother Feng, when did you get married, your daughter-in-law even gave birth to a child, you are really fast enough." ”

Feng Laohan glanced at the baby girl, hesitated for a while and said: "Don't talk nonsense, who can take a fancy to me, an ugly and lame old man, this child belongs to a distant relative of mine, she is overborn, she is afraid of fines, and she is very lonely when she sees that I am alone, so she gave her to me to raise." ”

Feng Laohan asked a neighbor who had read a book for a few years to give the baby girl a name, Feng Xin.

Since Feng Xin came to the house, Feng Laohan is either looking for milk or changing diapers, although he is very busy, he feels very happy.

Feng Xin had a high fever when she was one year old, Feng Laohan took her to the village hospital, and the village doctor prescribed some antipyretic medicine and sent Feng Laohan away.

After taking antipyretics, Feng Xin's body was still hot, so Feng Laohan took her to the town's hospital again.

After a blood test, the doctor said, "The child has pneumonia and needs to be admitted to the hospital. With that, the doctor opened a prescription and handed it to Feng Laohan.

When Old Man Feng saw the prescription, he was stunned, he actually had to pay eighteen shell coins! He took out all the money in his pocket, and the scattered ones added up to only seven shell coins.

Old Man Feng hurried back home and found a worn-out box from under the futon, which contained his savings over the years. But even if you take out all the shell coins, there will be a total of sixteen shell coins, and there are still two shorts.

What can I do? I can only borrow it!

Feng Laohan knocked on the door from door to door, explained the situation, and begged everyone to lend him two shell coins.

Everyone persuaded Feng Laohan and said: "Lao Feng, Feng Xin is not your biological child after all, no one knows if she can provide for you in the future, it is not worth spending the coffin for her!"
