Chapter 22: Are There Really Youkai?
But whether it's true or fake, I'm not the person concerned, and I can't judge, but Wu Lao Ghost flew up and down, shouting: "Really, really, it's true, there are monsters in this old forest." ”
I'm full of black lines, there are monsters in this old forest, what is this old ghost Wu excited about? However, in front of this crowd, I can't ask Wu Lao Ghost what he knows, so I can only hold back, I see that Brother Chengxin's appearance is also the same mind as me.
As for Lao Zhang, he glanced at Wu Lao Ghost intentionally or unintentionally, and finally said: "Lao Shen, I can understand what you mean, not to mention what this Wu Daring met, in short, he was scared sick, which means that the things in it are restless, so some 'sticks' came out to fight for land, but I always have to go in this deep forest, so I won't go back with you." ”
"What's wrong with this? Can't you go back at another time? Lao Shen pinched the dry tobacco stick and said worriedly.
"Well, I can't change it." Lao Zhang said sullenly.
This honest person has promised people's things, even if he spits on a nail, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire cannot be changed.
"Lao Zhang, it's not that I'm saying unlucky things, you said that you were going to go to this deep forest and die? We mountain people are not afraid of dying in the mountains, to say a cultural person, Chairman Mao came out to study for a while, didn't he say it? There is no need to bury bones in the ground, where is life not green mountains! But we're not afraid, the brothers and girls in this city are not easy to explain? Lao Shen persuaded Lao Zhang.
But I applauded Lao Shen's words, is this kind of pride the true character of a man in the mountains?
Lao Zhang smiled, patted Lao Shen's shoulder and said, "My heart is open, I told you just now, these little descendants are people with great skills, don't you believe it or what?" ”
"Cheng, then I won't ink, you can go. In the surrounding woods, we have set a trap, if you catch a roe deer or something, you are welcome, just get it to eat, leave the skin, and hang it on the tree. Save some effort to go into the deep forest, and when you come back, our brothers will have two cups. ”
"Done!" Lao Zhang agreed very directly.
Lao Shen said that he was not verbose, so he really didn't say anything, said a few words of greeting, and left with people.
However, when he said those words, we were bored, and Lao Zhang looked up at the sky and said, "Let's hurry up, we can walk to the edge of this mountain tonight, and we will be able to enter the deep forest tomorrow." ”
Lao Zhang said this, and we followed him, because when we met Lao Shen and his party, the relaxed atmosphere just now was gone, after all, the road ahead is vast, and no one has a bottom in their hearts, especially me, I understand it too well, I really met a monster, and it is my business to protect everyone.
Because the atmosphere was originally dull, I didn't ask Wu Lao Ghost anything, and now it's not the time to ask, and on the way, Lao Zhang deliberately spared the road and went to see Lao Shen's set under them, which is considered our luck, one of them has a cover, and it really caught a roe deer.
Lao Zhang knocked the roe deer to death with a wooden stick, dragged the roe deer to a place a mile or two away, and began to take care of the roe deer carefully.
In the end, we can't learn these skills, to paraphrase Lao Zhang's words, we have to dedicate most of our lives to this vast forest, in order to have this ability, I looked at it for a while, and then I remembered Wu Lao Ghost, so I waved at Wu Lao Ghost and asked him to come over.
Wu Lao Ghost was originally squatting in front of Lao Zhang, and was watching Lao Zhang take care of the roe deer with great interest, I waved at it, and its face immediately turned into a 'bitter gourd face', but immediately made a respectful appearance and quickly floated over.
This old ghost, afraid of me!
"Let's camp here tonight, have a meal, drink hot water, it's getting dark, I can't hurry, it's dangerous to rush at night in the old forest." Lao Zhang raised his head and said.
I actually understand that this is going into the deep forest, Lao Zhang is a little uneasy in his heart, it is good to stay in this familiar forest for one more night, everyone has this kind of ostrich heart, why don't we? So, as soon as Lao Zhang said this, we all nodded quickly, Brother Chengxin motioned for me to ask Wu Lao Ghost what to say, and he went to set up a tent, Ruxue helped, and I stared at Wu Lao Ghost for a long time, and his face twitched all the time, and I said: "Old Wu, do you think that a few of us treat you honestly?" ”
"How can that? Brother Chengyi, don't you like to say that? Isn't that bad for my reputation? "Old Ghost Wu looked indignant, as if if I would continue to speak, it could dig out its heart to show me, whether it was true or not!
"But why didn't you tell us at the beginning that there were monsters in this old forest, and you had to ask Lao Shen to say it, so you mentioned this stubble, saying that it was true, really?" I asked with a deliberate tiger face, and then hurriedly added: "Anyway, we are also on your thief ship, and we still have to rush in this way, what do you know, just say quickly, if you want to hide anything again, we can turn around and leave, do you believe it?" ”
Listening to my words, Wu Laogui had a sad expression, and he couldn't wait to call himself a few big mouths like that, and scolded himself: "Let you talk too much, let you be cheap." ”
But I couldn't get it back, and I was 'frightened' by me, this old ghost Wu still spoke: "Actually, whether there are any monsters in this forest, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but today Lao Shen said this, which reminded me of the fact that I once followed the calf into the forest, it was he who led us all the way, but there were several places, he stopped, and disappeared all night, at first, we didn't ask, and later, this time there were too many people, and my eldest brother muttered in his heart, after all, our five brothers have no ability, Can you spend the night alone in the woods without being afraid? So I asked. ”
"What did you say?" I opened my mouth to ask, but I vaguely guessed what was going on in my heart, and this guess shocked my heart all of a sudden, but the truth was what's going on, what did I want to say from Old Ghost Wu.
"My eldest brother asked, and the calf didn't hide it, so he told us that there were monsters in this old forest, and they were active at night, and he went out to negotiate with those monsters, so that they would not harass us, or if they didn't listen, they would clean up and be obedient, and that's what he said. At that time, we respected him as our master, and we admired him in our hearts, this great ability, but how do you know this calf" Wu Lao Ghost gritted his teeth, and then added: "That's what I know, I really haven't seen a monster, anyway, it's all he says, who knows if that calf is?" ”
I didn't answer, but comforted Wu Lao Ghost two sentences, but the old boy was like no heart and no lungs, seeing that I didn't force me to ask, but comforted it two sentences, and then happily went to see Lao Zhang take care of the roe deer, I sometimes really doubt, this Wu Lao Ghost really put revenge at ease?
However, what I didn't tell Wu Lao Ghost is that he used to harm his cheap master, there is a great possibility, it's really not nonsense, I just guessed in my heart, he went to fight monsters at night, the purpose is not to protect Wu Lao Ghost, it may be to let these monsters when he opens the tomb, don't covet it, set up a prestige or something.
In this way, this middle-aged Taoist priest's ability is not small, at least I, there is really no way to negotiate with the monster, fight, that can still fight, the stupid tiger is still sleeping, why don't you have the consciousness of returning to your hometown? Another day, a big slap woke this guy up!
It's just that, thinking about it, I was secretly taken aback, when did I also take a calf in one bite and slap a big face, so full of Northeast dialect?
Thinking about it, I was happy, and I simply accompanied Brother Chengxin and Ruxue to tidy up the tent together!
At night, the bonfire was lit, and the roe deer skin was taken away by Lao Zhang and hung back on the tree!
On the bonfire, a big pot is standing, it is Lao Zhang stewed roe deer meat, he said that he always eats roasted things, it is easy to get on fire, occasionally eat stewed vegetables without fire, and the body is also warm!
The tent was set up behind us, it was a big tent that could accommodate 3 or 4 people, but in this forest, there was always a vigil at night, and it was still the old rule, the night before Zhang, the night before me, and the night after the heart.
This night, as always, it was quiet, except for the occasional cry of unknown things in the old forest, and the mood that had fluctuated just now because of hearing the monster had also calmed down, and tonight should be as quiet as the previous nights, right?
I looked up at the heat coming out of the pot, smelled the scent, and thought to myself.
