Chapter 30: Ghostly Citrus

My father had just harvested two more baskets of citrus from the country.

I took one, peeled it, stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it.

After chewing twice, he spit it out.

"Daddy, this fruit is rancid!" I shouted.

"How? I took it from Euphorbia Village. The father didn't believe it, so he peeled one, and after eating it, he threw the citrus to the ground in anger.

"I'm going to go down to the village and ask for clarification!" Father said angrily.

Euphorbia Village, not far from Jiangjun County, has several hills, surrounded by orchards, and a variety of citrus sweet oranges.

Obviously, the father thought he had been fooled and received a batch of rancid fruits.

I'm a little worried, the matter of the Yin Soldier Stone Statue faintly makes me feel very uneasy.

My father had already pushed out a bicycle and was about to ride it out, but my mother couldn't stop it, so she had to shout to be careful.

"Daddy!" I chased after him and handed Jiang Qixi's small wooden sword to my father.

"Why do you bring this, I'll go to the next village!" Father was suspicious.

"The baby asks you to take it, you take it, Chun Lingzi knows how many miles better than you!" Mother persuaded.

The father finally stopped being stubborn, pinned the little wooden sword to the waistband of his trousers, shouted, rode his bicycle, and walked away crookedly.

Not long after, Ma Xiaoting stood in front of the fruit stall again.

"Chen Xichun! Stupid stupid stupid! ”

I walked out with a wry smile and looked at Ma Xiaoting, "You're going to do it again today!" ”

"Come and eat the fruit!" Ma Xiaoting smiled, and quickly reached out to pick up a citrus from the side.

I politely handed over a few more, and Ma Xiaoting happily caught it, peeled it off and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hey, Chen Xianchun, this smell ......"

"What! It's delicious! I grinned.

Ma Xiaoting was not as angry as I imagined, but frowned tightly. After a while, he spit out a sentence that scared me, "This citrus smells like a ghost." ”

Ghostly? It's ghost again!

The last time I was touched by Principal Jiang who was wearing human skin, Jiang Qixi asserted that I had a ghost smell on me. Could it be that these two big baskets of citrus have also been touched by ghosts?

"Ma Xiaoting, could you be mistaken!" I asked in a deep voice.

Ma Xiaoting shook her head, "We people who learn Taoism, this is the most basic skill, and it shouldn't be wrong." Chen Xichun, where did this fruit come from. ”

"Euphorbia Village."

"Euphorbia Village? It is said that the weapon of Chai Hu, the halberd, is left there, and it can no longer be found, so it is called the Euphorbia slope, and later gathered many people and became a village, which is called Euphorbia Village. Ma Xiaoting said lightly.

I didn't expect a small Euphorbia Village to have so many stories, I originally thought that Euphorbia Village was just a nice place name, rich in citrus sweet oranges.

I suddenly remembered that my father had gone to Euphorbia Village. To seek justice, two baskets of ghost-stained citrus justice.

"Hurry up! Let's go too! Ma Xiaoting exclaimed.

I nodded, and was about to turn around and go out when I saw my mother picking fruit in the small warehouse.

I paused and remembered the time I had been possessed by my mother.

"Ma Xiaoting, can you help me watch my aunt in the store?" I looked at Ma Xiaoting and asked.

When Ma Xiaoting heard this, she was shocked, "Chen Xichun, do you want to go by yourself?" You're a yin guest, how do you get it? ”

"How can I not go? I'm not a coward anymore, and besides, I still carry lightning strikes. I replied.

Ma Xiaoting thought for a while, "Why don't we wait for a while, I can't say that my uncle will go home immediately." ”

"Can't wait." I looked up and looked at the sky, Jiangjun County these days, it was getting dark very quickly.

"I call my daddy to help ......"

Before Ma Xiaoting's words were finished, I had already run out.

All along, I feel that I am a sinner, like a lonely star, anyone who gets too close to me will be very miserable by me, Jiang Qixi, mother, and now it is my father's turn.

What exactly are you going to do! What to do! If you really find it, you can come to me yourself!

I ran wildly, along the country road outside Jiangjun County, took steps, and panted and ran in the direction of Euphorbia Village.

Ran to Euphorbia Village, and the sky was dark.

I stopped, took a breath, and pulled the lightning strike wood out of my arms.

Looking around, as far as the eye can see, there are trees and shadows of trees, and only occasionally on the top of the slope, some lights are on.

I didn't know which garden sold the fruit to my father, so I had to ask one garden after another.

After asking for a long time, I asked the whole village, but no one said that he had seen his father. My father would often go down to Euphorbia Village to harvest fruits, and ordinary villagers would recognize him.

I gritted my teeth, if my father hadn't come to Euphorbia Village, where would he go! Those two baskets of ghostly citrus were obviously the source of my father's anger.

In front of a new house, an old man, sitting on a small bamboo stool, waved at me.

After a moment of silence, I walked over.

"I've seen Boss Chen, I've seen it." The old man pursed his lips and said.

I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, Chen Jiawang is my father, where did he go, I have been looking for a long time." ”

The old man looked left and right, then raised his hand and pointed to the old hill behind Euphorbia Village.

"Baby, let me tell you something, your father went to the mountains over there. Originally, there was no fruit on the hill over there, and when it was planted and died, it was sown, and the soil was like blood, and after digging a few shovels, water would flow out like blood. I don't know why, the week before, when suddenly the dead citrus tree was full of fruit, and yesterday your father came, and saw that he was glad, and went up alone to harvest it. I wonder if he'll go up today. ”

I hurriedly thanked me and ran to the other side of the hill.

"Baby! Baby! The old man shouted from behind.

I turned my head.

The old man stared at me for a moment, and said to me in a very depressed tone, "There are ghosts on the mountain, and none of us dare to go to that mountain." ”

Hearing this, I paused, then held the lightning strike wood and continued walking.

When I walked to the bottom of the mountain, I found that my whole body was wet with dew, and I didn't know how there was so much dew in the night.

The old man at the foot of the mountain is right, this is also an orchard, due to the inaccessibility, the original small mountain road has been covered by thorny grass.

I stopped and looked at a citrus tree in front of me. A dead tree, without leaves, without young branches, just a few citrus, pressed against the dead branches.

I don't know why my father looked away in the first place, went up the mountain, and collected the ghostly citrus.

A nightbird skimmed over my head, hissed, and I slung the lightning strike wood across my body and walked cautiously.

Turning one dead tree after another, I finally saw a faint light in the deep forest.

Suddenly, I heard my father's voice of joy.

I hurried to speed up my feet, ran to the light, and saw a room.

A house made of dead branches, the specifications are extremely incommensurate.

I reached out and knocked on the wooden door. Father's laughter was close to my ears.

"Who?" A hoarse voice came from inside the room.

"He who reaps the fruit." I whispered, holding the lightning strike behind my back.

The people inside looked very happy, and I heard the grinding sound of mopping the floor.

The door opened, and an old woman with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks stuck her head out, and squinted at me.

"Go into the house, go into the house, there will be fruit in the house!"

I quietly followed the old woman into the house, and found my father sitting on the floor, crying and laughing.

"Daddy." I choked up and shouted.

My father turned his head and smiled even more when he saw me.

"Daddy!" I shouted again, and this time, my father ignored me and turned to look at the old woman.

"Sit, sit. Soon there will be food. The old woman grinned, and walked inside.

Inside the house, there was the sound of sharpening knives.

I was startled, looked for an opportunity, slowly moved to my father's side, and pulled him by the hand, trying to help him stand up.

"! Didn't you see me chatting with Sister Zhang! Gua baby! My father yelled at me, grabbed a piece of gravel in his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

I heard the sound of my teeth shattering, and my heart ached.

The father was fascinated.

The old woman, with a sharpened knife in her hand, came out and squinted at me.

After thinking about it, I simply took out the lightning strike wood and slapped it on the table.

When the old woman saw this, she screamed, disappeared in place, turned into a black-skinned toad, and jumped into the depths of the night.

The whole wooden house collapsed in an instant, and I rushed over, holding my head in front of my father.

"Daddy!" I shook my father's body desperately.

My father was shaken so much that he vomited, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, a few centipedes, a few mountain mice, and even a small green snake.

After a while, my father finally came to his senses.

I asked him what was going on.

"When I went up the mountain, I originally wanted to say that she wanted to invite me to dinner...... "My father smiled bitterly.

I was angry, and I stood up, looking for the abominable toad, but I could not find it.

As I picked up my father and walked down the hill, I suddenly saw a figure peeking out from behind a dead tree.

A figure that doesn't move.

The moonlight pushed away the clouds and fell onto the hills.

I looked at the figure.

On both sides of the figure's mouth, there is a pair of extremely exaggerated fangs, a nose like a hook, and a face full of dead blue pleated skin.

Yin Soldier Stone Statue!

This is the second time I've seen the Yin Soldier Stone Statue! In just a few days, I met twice!

Under the general county, there is a ghost gate.

I thought of Ma Xiaoting's words, my scalp was numb, I didn't dare to linger any longer, so I hurriedly picked up my father on my back and stepped on the thorny grass to go down the mountain.

Behind him, there was the sound of gravel being dragged away.

The Yin soldiers are chasing me!

I gritted my teeth, held the lightning strike wood in my hand, and lifted my back to prevent my father from tumbling off his back.

Running quickly to the bottom of the mountain, the sound of rubble flying gradually disappeared, and when I turned to look again, there was a dead silence behind me.

I wonder why the Yin Soldier Stone Statue suddenly stopped chasing? Could it be that you are afraid of the lightning strike wood in my hand?

The night was too dark to find my father's bicycle, so I didn't care, so I continued to carry my father on my back and walked to Jiangjun County.

When I passed by the old man's house, which had pointed me out, I took a look and saw that it was in a dilapidated state.

There were so many strange things that I didn't dare to linger and gritted my teeth and walked forward.
