In the air, there seems to be a gray-brown stench, strong and pungent, everything around, those shabby clothes, and old boxes, etc., seem to be covered with a thin layer of fluffy yellow dust, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like, it's more like something has been left for a long time, the mildew that grows on it, and the whole room seems to be full of death, which makes people despair.

The master was about to reach out and lift the futon, but Shi Laosan grabbed his wrist, Shi Laosan shook his head cautiously, and signaled the master not to open it. The master hesitated for a moment, withdrew his hand, but took the talisman knife out of the yellow cloth bag, and bent down to lift the bedding. ”

This shouting seemed to be said to Shi Laosan and me, Shi Laosan was originally frightened by the master to lift the futon, and before the master's words fell, he turned around and rushed out, I didn't know why, so I had to retreat.

After a long time, I turned around in shock and walked slowly to the door, where I found Master standing in front of the bed in a daze, his eyes fixed on the man under the futon.

Is that still alone?!

It was a terrified voice that sprung up within me. On the bed, a man with a strong stench lying there quietly, his mouth slightly open, his eyes half-closed and half-closed, his face was sallow, and even his whole body was sallow, what was even more shocking was his skinny body, I am afraid that he was skinny, and he could not describe the current person, but it was more appropriate to describe him with skin and bones.

But it didn't matter, and when I saw a maggot flipping its head out of his lap and slowly squirming out of the hole in his skin, I felt a wave of nausea, couldn't take it anymore, turned around and retched on the door frame.

That person must be the second baby's brother Shi Shan, Shi Shan at this moment, there is almost no good place in the whole body, and his legs are full of holes arched by maggots, countless maggots crawl around in the holes, and his chest is sunken, as if he hasn't eaten for a long, long time. But there seemed to be a slight breath between his noses, supporting him to live hard.

Is that still a person? It seems to me that Stone Mountain is almost a hundred, if not a thousand, times more painful than a dead man.

Master stared at Shi Shan's body quietly for a long time before he asked coldly, "Why did he become like this?" What's going on?! ”

Shi Laosan stood behind me, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but tremble and said: "What else can it be, just because Shi Shan caught something that shouldn't be caught in the ghost forest a while ago, it caused a monstrous disaster, alas, this is his life, and it is also the life of us ordinary people, who can blame it...... Mr. Yang, you are a member of the Dao Sect, if there is anything you can do to alleviate his pain, please be merciful and save Shi Shan! ”

According to what Shi Laosan said next, it turned out that Shishan became like this, but it has an amazing story.

Shi Shan and Shi Erwa are two brothers who depend on each other, their parents died early, Shi Shan is both an elder brother and a parent, and finally pulled his younger brother and his second baby to the age of fifteen, but he is almost thirty years old, and the people in the village see that Shi Shan is so delayed, and he doesn't have to find a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life, so Shi Laosan is looking for someone to tell Shi Shan a matchmaker and find a girl to live. The so-called emperor lives up to his wishes, and this one is touching and touching, and he really touched a marriage for Shishan.

The other party is a girl from the Longjiazhai village more than ten miles away, over 20 years old, and she has not found her mother-in-law's house, nothing else, the girl is just ugly, otherwise it will not be Shishan's turn, right? But this poor family, it is already good to be able to find a family to make do, after Shi Shan heard it at the time, he did not object, only said that there can be a girl at home to take care of, and he can also give his younger brother and the second baby a more complete home, and he didn't think much about anything else.

However, Longjiazhai is not a poor village, it is a very rich village, even if the girl looks a little stumbling, but it is not without requirements, Shishan wants to marry someone back, but also needs to be hired, what specific dowry is needed, the man needs to go to the woman's house to sit together and discuss, and bring wine and meat to the woman's aunt and relatives to eat. Not to mention going to negotiate the dowry, even if it is the first trip to bring the wine and meat, you can't get it out.

There is no way, Shi Shan wants to go hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, and then sell the animal fur for some money, and replace it with wine and meat to discuss the next hire, as for what to do when the next hire, it can only take one step at a time, and at the moment, there is no other way, if you don't even have the ability to get that bit of wine and meat, what else can you say?

There are many wild animals in the ghost forest, and everyone in this Miao village knows about it, but very few people dare to go in to hunt.

It is rumored that in the ghost forest, there are not only ghosts, but also mountain spirits, some people have gone in before, but they have not come out for several days, and finally the family took a large group of people to go in and search, and they brought back a pile of bones, and since then, that forest is a ghost forest, and no one dares to enter it again.

There are even other village sacrifices saying that the ghost forest is a cursed place, and whoever dares to enter it will not only be difficult to get his life back, but even if he can pick up his life home, it will be uneasy for people and animals, and there will be disasters, so no one dares to go in.

But the stone mountain, which has been hunting in other mountains without success, has no way to think about it, so he secretly dared to enter the ghost forest, hoping to have some harvest in the ghost forest. Who knows, he actually went in for three days and three nights, and the villagers of Stone Village were anxious to go in to find someone, for fear that Shi Shan would die inside, and only a minor brother and second baby would be left, how could he live......

But on the evening of the fourth day, Shishan miraculously returned to the village, and not only that, but he also hunted a lot of prey, and among them, there was a mountain spirit. The mountain spirit looks like a red-faced little monkey, but it is a scholar walking, with a straw hat on his head, Shi Shan said, he didn't want to provoke the mountain spirit, but the trap was accidentally caught one, why this red-faced little monkey with a straw hat is a mountain spirit, because it is in the area of Miaojiang, not a well-known animal, it has a common name in Miaojiang, called dwarf mule.

The dwarf mule is a legend that spreads in the Yungui area west of Xiangxi, the legend is that this mountain elf is extremely intelligent, and always elusive, it is not easy to find it, and it is also said that the straw hat on the head of the dwarf mule is a kind of spiritual grass weaving, this kind of spiritual grass can live people's lives, but also can resist being tricked, with this straw hat, anyone under the Gu, can not work, very magical, many people want to catch this dwarf mule, in order to be the straw hat on its head.

Shi Shan grabbed a dwarf mule, this is still worth it, the straw hat is a priceless treasure, if it touches a rich man, I am afraid that no matter how much money I have, I am afraid that I can give it up. Sell this dwarf mule, specify that it can be exchanged for some money, and maybe the matter of hiring can be solved. The people in the village were surprised and delighted, of course, they were still happy, and they were all happy for Shishan.

But as the old saying goes, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and the matter of Shishan catching a short mule was quickly spread out, and almost all the villages within a radius of dozens of miles knew it, as the so-called people must be at ease if they have no wealth, and if they are white, they will be red-eyed, that is, in the night seven days ago, a person came to Stone Village. This person can be regarded as rewriting the fate of the Shishan brothers, of course, it is not for the better, but for the worse.

There is a Jiwei Mountain around Longjiazhai, there is a Gu master on Jiwei Mountain, called Long Po, her reputation in the vicinity is very loud, and many people take out their belongings to support her, she has also helped a lot of people, but this Long Po has a characteristic, never sees guests, almost goes up the mountain to find her people, just put things at the mouth of the cave, and then leave by themselves, and the next day what they want to do has been done, and Long Po and her person, never show up, very mysterious.

If you want to meet Long Po, unless you can have something that makes her look good, such as rare herbs, and rare poisonous insects, she can't talk about it. And the one who came to Stone Village seven days ago was none other than this mysterious dragon woman.

She came to the door of Shishan's house on crutches, just knocked on the door with her crutches, and the latch was automatically disconnected, and she walked slowly into the courtyard and went straight to Shishan.

Without saying anything, Long Po directly took away the dwarf mule, and gently knocked on Shi Shan's body three times with a cane, and said with a smile that Shi Shan is a blessed person, and the mountain spirits are willing to associate with him, if there is something at home, you can go to Jiwei Mountain to find her, but the thing that knocks on the mountain door must be two dwarf mules, otherwise it will be useless to go.

Don't look at the three gentle strokes, almost killed Shi Shan, just after Long Po left, Shi Shan immediately fell to the ground, until now this appearance, the villagers are suspected that he was Gu by Long Po, but who dares to deal with that Long Po, you must know that her Gu skills are some famous, the villagers are afraid, but they don't want Shi Shan to die! So Shi Laosan saw that Shishan was about to be unable to survive, so he had to take a few villagers to the ghost forest to desperately find a dwarf mule.

Erwa is a sensible child, and he wants to save his brother even more, but Long Po's condition is that two dwarf mules will bring them over to help, and the meaning of this is self-evident, which is obviously a threat to them to exchange two dwarf mules for Shishan's life. The second baby followed Shi Laosan and them into the ghost forest, who knew that the shadow of the dwarf mule was not found, so they ...... I was bitten on the leg by something, and these two brothers are really unlucky!

"Xiagu?" Master frowned.

After Shi Laosan said this, he nodded heavily: "Shi Shan's designation is that he has been Gu, and we all know that the way Long Po has been Gu is very strange, sometimes he can't see anyone at all, he has already been Gu, and Shi Shan was knocked three times by Long Po, isn't it Gu?" ”

The master frowned again and said, "I know this, but since you have lived in Miao Jiang all the year round, do you know what kind of Gu this is?" ”
