I looked in the direction the old ghost was pointing, and saw that under the pine forest in front of me, above the snow, there was a little warm yellow light flickering. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because there was a distance, I couldn't tell what it was, but since the old ghost said there was a situation, he went over to take a look.

This distance is not far away, it is not close, when we came to the front, the thing has long been out of strength, lying there as if dead, we went up to look, only to see that between the two pine trees, there are a few red ropes entangled, arranged into a net, and around the red rope net, there are things like realgar, cinnabar, etc., distributed in powder form beside them.

It's a space cup-sized thing, it looks like a little doll, with a head and legs, fat, and pink, but you can still see the skin texture of its plants.

I heard the faint sound of a bell, looked left and right, and saw that a golden bell was shaking on a branch not far away.

It is pure gold.

Could this be the trap set by Wang Mang's uncle and nephew?

What is this principle?

I didn't understand it for a moment, but I seemed to sense someone coming, and the thing actually squirmed, looked up, and opened its eyes to look at us.

I say it's like a little doll, but it's a little bit out of proportions compared to a normal child.

The head is too big, and the body is big enough, but the limbs are a little disproportionate.

If it is ginseng essence, these hands and feet are just roots.

Small is also normal.

But because of this, the appearance of this gadget is particularly cute and cute, and people can't help but love it.

The old ghost and I have seen all the old things in any scene, and I just like this thing and like it, but Xiaomier can't stand this, and said to me: "Dad, it's so pitiful, let it out?" ”

I hesitated and glanced back.

If there is no accident, this thing should be the live ginseng baby that Wang Mang's uncle and nephew are looking for, that is, the little ginseng essence.

The layout here is also specially made by others who have spent time and energy.

This is the fruit of other people's labor, and we don't say hello to it, so we release this thing, isn't it a little bad?

As soon as I hesitated, Xiaomi'er's eyes turned red.

Her tears softened my heart.

Xiao'er is a sensible child.

Since she came out of the mountain with me, she has always been very well-behaved, never had to worry too much about me, and even threw me in Jinmen for so many days, but she didn't say anything to complain, let alone ask me anything.

This is the first time she has talked about it, and I can't help but think of the fierce dogs she raised over there.

She's a natural fond of these little things.

My side was hesitating, but the old ghost didn't care so much—Wang Mang's uncle and nephew were just strangers to us; Besides, this little ginseng essence is born to raise, it is not easy to get to this point, if because of people's selfish desires, they lose their lives, which is really a little unfair to it.

So the old ghost stepped forward, parted the complicated red thread, and pulled the little thing out of it.

The little thing came out, stiffening and motionless, as if it were dead.

As a result, when the old ghost handed it to Xiao'er, the little thing actually became extremely sensitive at this moment, and jumped suddenly, but it fell into the snow and disappeared.

Seeing this, the old ghost was a little annoyed, and snorted coldly: "You still want to run in front of me? ”

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, but the little ginseng baby who had escaped into the snow was slowly resurfaced like a carrot.

It was frightened, trembling and squeaking, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Xiao'er couldn't stand it a little, and hurriedly said to the old ghost: "Uncle old ghost, don't treat it like this, you freak it out......"

The old ghost said I didn't hold it, and it ran away.

Xiao'er said that I just want you to save it, and if it is willing to go, let it go, and I don't need it to accompany me.

The old ghost was stunned for a moment, and said to her seriously: "Really? If you take this thing, it's very replenishing, right? ”

Xiaomi'er nodded very resolutely, said yes, let it go.

The old ghost smiled, let go of the little thing, and then said to it, "Do you hear, this young lady is called Xiaomi'er, and she asked me to rescue you." ”

As soon as the thing hit the ground, it disappeared immediately, and I thought it was gone, but the little thing appeared seven or eight meters away, and came out with a small head.

Its eyes were swarthy, and it stricken, and then it looked at us.

It seems to understand human speech, so it doesn't fear us too much.

Xiaomi'er waved her hand at it and said happily: "Little ginseng, you have to be obedient, don't run around, if you catch someone next time, no one will save you?" ”

After doing this, Xiao'er was very satisfied, and she walked a lot more energetically.

We went on and walked for several miles, and all of a sudden Millet ran back, and I said, what's wrong?

I tried to go back, but the old ghost stopped me, saying that the little thing was following.

Yes?

I was stunned for a moment, and looked back by the moonlight, but saw Millet stop under a pine tree, crouched on the ground, and a meter away in front of her, the little thing poked its head out of the snow and was cautiously looking at her.

I couldn't help but ask, "This little thing, followed us all the way?" ”

The old ghost laughed and said probably.

What do I mean?

The old ghost said curious, such a mountain spirit and wild monster, when he first became a spirit, he only knew how to suck the morning wind and rain dew, and he was talented, but he didn't know how to practice, and he probably had curiosity about everything in this world.

I said I didn't expect you to understand this, have you encountered it before?

The old ghost said that I had not slept in the mountains and forests before, and I had seen something like this, but at that time my temper was not good, so it was good not to provoke me, so I provoked me, and I was directly caught and stewed to drink.

We were more than ten meters apart, but the little thing seemed to be able to hear the conversation here, and as soon as the old ghost finished speaking, the little guy shrank his head and disappeared again.

Xiaomi'er stood up angrily and shouted at the old ghost: "Uncle old ghost, you are so bad, you scared it." ”

The old ghost shrugged his shoulders indifferently, yes? Stop playing, we have to hurry.

I nodded, yes, we have to cross the border before dawn, go to Paektu Mountain, stop being playful, or we will have to rest for another day.

Although Xiao'er had the heart to play with this little thing for a while, she also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not make any more trouble.

As we continued walking, the snow in front of us was getting deeper and deeper, and we started to move faster on our snowboards.

And at this moment, suddenly a sharp voice came from the dark woods.

Squeak, squeak......

How does this voice sound like the call of the little ginseng elf?

We all stopped, and Xiaomi'er ran in the direction where the sound came from without hesitation.

Half a minute later, we came to a mountain nest and saw two dark shadows in the snow.

My heart skipped a beat, and I stopped Xiao'er and told her to stop.

Xiaomi'er didn't listen to me, but rushed straight away, and at this time I could also see that the little ginseng baby caught these two black shadows.

Seeing that Xiaomi'er was about to rush closer, a person over there suddenly waved his hand, but a large fire ignited.

The flame was so hot that it jumped so high all of a sudden, that Xiao'er was a little surprised and dodged back.

The flames, which were more than a foot high, converged after a few seconds, but turned into a torch, and by this light I could see the two men in the nest of the mountain.

It was actually Wang Mang and Wang Qijiao, the uncles and nephews who had been separated from us for a short time.

The old ghost was the most protective of the short, and when he saw Xiao'er falling to the side, he rushed to them at once, and yelled at them: "What are you doing, are you trying to scare the child?" ”

Wang Mang held a torch in his left hand and a gold silk cloth bag in his right hand, and the contents of the cloth bag kept squirming and making a "squeak" sound.

That thing is probably the little ginseng baby that we let go and followed us all the way.

Seeing us gathered around, Wang Mang sneered and said that I had heard the story of the farmer and the snake before, and I always thought it was just an idiom allusion, but I didn't expect it to happen to me, which is really emotional......

I saw that the old ghost had a tendency to go berserk, so I hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and said that I would deal with it.

The old ghost looked at me, nodded, and said okay.

He stood back, but his eyes became more and more fierce, a little scary.

I stepped forward and arched my hand, saying what do you mean by Brother Wang?

Wang Mang stared at me and said Luo Ping, you ask yourself, you are in the wilderness of the snowfield, spending the night in our supply cave, I didn't drive you away, I didn't say anything ugly, and even invited you to eat barbecue together, this matter has been done benevolently, right?

I said calmly, "We are very grateful for Brother Wang's generosity. ”

Wang Mang said But you guys are good, I know that I am catching this thing, and I have worked hard, the two of them have been busy for many days, and finally it is good luck, and I got one, but I also released it to you, do you admit it?

I said that the sleeve was indeed untied by us, but it was ......

Wang Mang didn't wait for me to finish, he waved his hand directly and said: "Our two masters got the news, and when they arrived, there was nothing, so they could only follow your footprints all the way, and with great effort, they finally caught this thing again-what's the matter, are you going to grab it?" ”

His face was cold, waiting for us coldly, while Wang Qijiao next to him had a murderous look on his face.
