The mountain has a very natural feel.

From the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, the trees that grow are some of the common miscellaneous trees.

But the mountainside went up to the top of the mountain, to the other end of the mountain.......

Everywhere I could see, there were peach trees.

In this season, the peach trees have already borne fruit, and you can smell the fragrance of peaches coming from both sides when you walk on the road.

It's a very natural aroma, not too strong, just right.

The Xiangjiang ghost was quite enthusiastic and helped me pick a few peaches, saying that it was for me to taste.

I have to say that it's quite delicious, especially sweet, and it's still my favorite crisp peach, which is very satisfying to eat.

Then he led me up the stairs to the top of the hill and to the place of his name.

It is a self-built old house, with only one floor, and the area is twenty or thirty square meters.

This house is definitely not young...... It's all made of wood, and it's not a brick house at all.

There is an earthen stove outside the house, the fire is booming, and there is a big pot on it, and I don't know what is cooking inside, but it smells very fragrant anyway, it should be soup, right?

When the Xiangjiang ghost walked over with me, the door of the house was pushed open, and the people inside also walked out and said hello to the Xiangjiang ghost.

"Sir."

I heard him call Xiangjiang ghost master, using this slightly old social style of the title....... I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The person who greeted the Xiangjiang ghost was not young, looking at the face, he was at least sixty years old, and his hair was a little gray, but it was not as white as the Xiangjiang ghost.

He was wearing a shabby undershirt and a hat on top of his head, and he looked silly when he laughed, and there was a kind of indescribable naivety.

But it's just a little silly to look at, actually...... I think this person is very angry, and he is definitely not an ordinary old man.

Evil spirit is different from murderous energy.

Murderous aura is aggressive, aggressive, and targeted, but this kind of evil aura is more like a temperament that has been cultivated over many years.

More frightening than murderous.

That's a kind of self-indulgence...... It's like a momentum that comes alive from a pile of dead people.

The most difficult thing to ignore is the knife pinned to his waist.

It is a ghost-headed knife wrapped in a cowhide scabbard.

It was long and heavy, like a special torture instrument used to cut off people's heads in ancient times.

The ghost head pattern on the handle of the knife is extremely hideous, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong, as if it has come to life, and it is grinning at the outside world.

"Sixth, what about cooking?" Xiangjiang Ghost asked, a smile on his face.

I couldn't take my eyes off the Xiangjiang ghost, and looked at the expression on his face very carefully.

Maybe the gaze was too direct, and the Xiangjiang ghost couldn't help but glance at me: "What are you looking at?" ”

"It's the first time I've seen you smile like that." I grinned.

It seems that Xiangjiang Ghost is also a very normal old man, it's not that he can't laugh, but he rarely shows his feelings.

"Who is this little brother?"

"The afterlife brought back from the outside." Xiangjiang ghost said, glanced at me, and introduced to me: "This is my old buddy, you call him the sixth master." ”

"Sixth master is good." I politely greeted others with a junior salute and introduced myself: "My surname is Shen, Shen Shi'an." ”

Hearing my words, the sixth master also laughed, squinted his eyes and nodded: "Okay, since the master brought you back, then you are not an outsider, and I will let you taste the craftsmanship of this old man of mine." ”

I don't know if it's my delusion or if that's the reality.

When this old man was talking to me, he looked at me strangely, always spinning around my neck, not knowing what he was looking at.

I thought there was something dirty on my neck, or something on it, but I raised my hand and touched it, but I didn't notice anything.

Seeing my action, the sixth master also looked a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and turned around to look at the soup in the pot.

"Why didn't those neighbors come along?" I asked curiously, and when I looked back, I couldn't find any trace of those "weirdos" just now.

The ghost of Xiangjiang walked to the earthen stove, looked at the soup in the pot, and said without looking back: "I'm afraid of life." ”

I'm also a little curious, what is boiling in this pot?

What makes soup so good?

When I got up and looked, the soup in the pot was milky white like milk, and the main course inside was some sea bass, no special ingredients.

There are onions, ginger and garlic, which look a little different from ordinary onions, ginger and garlic, and the specifications are a little larger, I guess they planted them themselves in the mountains.

If you don't grow it yourself, you can't go to the city to buy it when it's time to use it, right?

But it's really weird.......

The ingredients used in this pot of soup are very ordinary, but I don't know why, but the taste of boiling is surprisingly fragrant.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first time in my life that I have smelled such a fragrant thing, and I was not very hungry at first, but I was immediately hungry when I smelled it!

At this moment, a squeaky sound suddenly came from a distance.

As the screams got closer and closer, I could dimly see a dark figure moving in the woods behind the house.

Soon it was coming out of the woods, jumping straight onto the rooftop, and yelling at us from a high position.

It was a little monkey.

If I hadn't looked away, this monkey was very similar to the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey I had seen in books.

Not counting the tail, the body is about half a meter high, and the tail is about the same length as the body, which is also about half a meter.

Most of the hair on the body is grayish-black, but there are some places where the hair is grayish-white, and it looks extremely contrasting.

At first, I thought it was a wild monkey, but I saw the sixth master turn around and wave at it, and the monkey jumped down with a swish, climbed onto the back of the sixth master with ease, and then kept screaming at me.

Looking at the way it looks, it is quite hostile to me.

"This monkey is afraid of life?" I asked tentatively.

The sixth master shook his head and said, don't be afraid.

"And why does it scream so much?" I looked at the monkey in confusion.

"There's something behind you, so it's scared." Xiangjiang ghost said.

Hearing this, I subconsciously shuddered, and my heart hung in the air.

Fuck me.

Something is following me?? How many meanings does this mean??

Could it be that there is really something dirty that follows all the way....... That's not right, the injustices that are generally invisible to the soul are incapable, and even if they have the courage to follow me, they can't have the ability to harm me.

"Can you see that?" I asked cautiously.

Xiangjiang Ghost shook his head and said bluntly that he didn't see it, but he could vaguely feel that something was following me, and those things were not malicious to me, so he didn't mention it.

At this time, the sixth master seemed to understand the monkey's call, and said to me with a smile: "It says that there are many strange things following you, there are seventeen in total. ”

Seventeen.

I was instantly relieved to get this answer, but I also felt a little strange...... Isn't seventeen the wicked?

But why are they visible to monkeys and not to other creatures?

Squirrels, three-winged insects, and those immortals...... I don't seem to have seen the villains behind me, but if they did, they would definitely react.

"This monkey is not ordinary....... I muttered, taking a closer look at it.

No matter how you look at it, this monkey is just an ordinary Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey, and there is nothing special about it at all, except that the eyes are inexplicably bright.......

"It has become a spirit animal, but it has no other ability, but its eyesight is particularly strong." The sixth master smiled, raised his hand, and gently touched the neck of this golden monkey-nosed monkey, and the expression on his face became subtle, as if he was introducing his family to me, and his eyes were indescribably warm.

I was about to praise this monkey twice, but I only found that the sixth master was staring at me, and his straight gaze was rolling around my neck.

This is the second time.

His eyes and expression did not match very much, and there was a very abrupt sense of contradiction in it.

The face is still smiling, as simple as the smiling face of an old farmer, but the eyes are ...... But there was a feeling that a wild beast had seen its prey......

Dangerous.

It's true.

I feel that this old man is dangerous.

"What the hell are you looking at?" I raised my hand and touched my neck, looking at the sixth master very strangely: "I have dirty things on my neck?" ”

The sixth master smiled, seemed a little embarrassed, and felt that it was embarrassing to do this, so he scratched his head and explained, "That's not it...... I just feel like you're going to cut your neck......."
