Chapter 32: The Villain Mushroom

The fat man was obsessed with eating wolf meat, and pretended to be pitiful, I knew that I would never be able to say anything about the above problems, and I couldn't help but sigh and think: I don't know where he got those crooked theories?

When I saw that everyone's eyes were shining, I had no choice but to say "good", and I agreed with the fat man.

The fat man and the monkey unceremoniously began to do it, helping You Gui to pick up the wolf skin, and I never expected that the seventh master, who had always been gentle and elegant, would also move with him, and very skillfully peeled off the wolf skin of a wolf, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Where did this fake Taoist come from?

When the fat man and the others were skinning the wolf in full swing, Zha Ling'er suddenly jumped out from behind the tree and said to me happily: "Brother Sven, what do you think this is?" ”

I thought the little girl had gone to pick wildflowers, but instead of wildflowers, she showed me mushrooms of very strange shapes.

The mushroom that Zha Ling'er was holding in both hands had a light gray cap, like a human "head", and there were white "limbs" on the white stalk, which looked very similar to a human shape.

The appearance of the "little mushroom man" is very peculiar and cute, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When the fat man saw the little mushroom man in Zha Ling'er's hand, he immediately expressed his high opinion and said, "It must be a ginseng mushroom that will grow like this." Ginseng is like a human being and is a very precious tonic. This little human-shaped mushroom must have a very high nutritional value, so it is better to cook it in wolf meat and eat it together, it must be particularly fragrant. ”

After speaking. Regardless of my opinion, I asked for the advice of Guide You directly. "Brother You, do you think this mushroom is poisonous?"

Guide You holds the mushroom in the shape of a small figure in his hand. After carefully studying it for a long time, he said to the fat man: "Generally, brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, although this mushroom looks strange, but it doesn't seem to be poisonous." And I just looked at it carefully, and there are traces of ant bites on it, so it should be okay for people to eat it. ”

When the fat man heard this, he took the villain mushroom and waved it proudly at me as if he had eaten a king-sized reassuring pill, and threw it into the lunch box.

I looked at the ground in amazement. I found that when I was talking to Zha Ling'er, the fat man and the others had already dug a fire ring and lit the fire. And I just had a short conversation with Zha Ling'er, and I glanced at the mushroom villain a few times, but I didn't expect the fat man's hands and feet to be so quick and bold. Now it's too late to say anything, and I have to let go of all the fat man's actions.

Soon, a very tempting fragrance wafted from the iron lunch box, and I heard the sound of everyone swallowing.

On the trip to the north, the food and drink dew. Everyone inevitably lost a lot of weight. Today, I was finally able to have a decent meal.

The roast meat and broth on the fire were swept away by everyone, and the broth made from wolf meat and villain mushrooms was swept away by everyone. It's so delicious that there's not a drop left.

After the wolf meat was cooked, the fat man quickly buried the fire with damp earth. In case of wildfires.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone was finally able to sleep well. The smoke man's junior brother, the night owl, keeps vigil in the first half of the night, and is replaced by a monkey in the second half of the night. I don't have to keep a vigil tonight, thinking that I can finally get a good night's sleep.

Before going to bed, the fat man said that he was going to make it easier, and I told him not to go too far when it was dark. The fat man nodded and ran away, but as soon as he turned behind the tree, he hurried back, panting and saying to the people, "There are people." ”

As soon as everyone heard that someone was someone, they immediately put their weapons in their hands and looked around vigilantly.

I didn't expect that there were other humans in this wood, so I couldn't help but ask the fat man in surprise, "Who is it?" ”

The fat man took a breath and said to me, "Villain, not a big villain." ”

Hearing the fat man's words, everyone relaxed their guard, and looked at the fat man with a look of disgust, I also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him: "What villain, aren't you dazzled?" ”

The fat man said to me excitedly: "I am absolutely not mistaken, it is a little man more than an inch tall, there are two or three, just now in front of me, a smoke ran into the distant woods." ”

When Guide You heard what the fat man said, he immediately asked anxiously, "Do you see what clothes you are wearing?" ”

The fat man shook his head and said, "It's too dark to see clearly." But it seems to be wearing a small red and green flower jacket. ”

After hearing this, Guide You immediately patted his thigh and said, "Ginseng baby." ”

When everyone heard this, they were speechless in horror, and said in their hearts: Could it be that in the deep mountains and old forests of the Xing'an Mountains, there is really a thousand-year-old ginseng essence?

Wild ginseng is abundant in the old forests of the deep mountains of Northeast China, especially the ginseng of Changbai Mountain.

The Northeast dialect calls ginseng "big stick mallet", which originates from the taboo spread of digging ginseng. There are many taboos and rules for digging ginseng, one of which is that after digging ginseng, they will tie a red rope to prevent the ginseng from running away. In fact, the word "ran" here refers to the meaning of making a mark. Why do you want to make a mark, generally because the ginseng has not grown up, make a mark, in order to dig later, but also to inform others that this ginseng has a ginseng. In the rules of digging ginseng, others cannot dig the wild ginseng of the ginseng master, which means that you have no chance to participate, and if you do not follow the rules, you will be punished by the mountain god.

There are countless Chinese folk myths and legends about ginseng in the deep mountains, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth for many years and becoming a ginseng baby.

I never thought that we would be here and were fortunate enough to meet a once-in-a-lifetime ginseng baby. In the myths and legends about ginseng babies, there are two points that are not the same, one is that the ginseng babies are wearing red pockets and green leaf skirts, and the other is that eating ginseng babies can live forever, and even become immortals, or come back to life.

There is a detailed record of ginseng in the "Shennong's Materia Medica", which says: "Ginseng, sweet and slightly cold, mainly tonifies the five organs, calms the spirit, calms the soul, stops palpitations, removes evil spirits, brightens the eyes, and is happy and intellectual." Wear for a long time, light and prolong. Taking ordinary ginseng can achieve a variety of effects, such as taking the thousand-year-old ginseng that can turn into a ginseng baby, maybe it can really be immortal.

Everyone was interested when they heard that the ginseng baby appeared in the woods, and felt that even if it was just a glance, it could be regarded as an eye-opener.

Usually at this time, I will say that the fat man is dazzled, so let everyone rest as much as possible, and don't take it seriously.

But, for some reason, I was also interested, and I don't know if it was because the dinner was too rich, but everyone, including me, looked as if they could kill a cow with one punch, and were very energetic, so they followed the fat man to the place where he said he saw the dwarf.

As a result, everyone lay behind the grass and trees and searched for a long time, not to mention the ginseng baby, not even a single ginseng leaf. In addition to weeds, it is fallen leaves, and it does not look like ginseng at all.

At this time, everyone thought that the fat man must have been dazzled before, so they got up from the ground and walked back.

Zha Ling'er pouted and walked to my side, as if she wanted to spit bitterness on me, complaining that the fat man was talking nonsense. As soon as she came to me, she hugged me, and immediately frightened me, and said to herself: What is the matter with this girl, how did she become so bold?

I looked down at Zha Ling'er, who was holding me tightly, only to see her look forward with a frightened expression, and then whispered, "There is someone behind the tree." ”

I hurriedly looked in the direction that Zha Ling'er was staring, and saw that behind the tree illuminated by the moonlight, there was indeed a person hidden, but it was a very short person, who was secretly watching everyone.

I took a deep breath and said in my heart: There are really ginseng babies, and now we are really lucky. hurriedly pulled Zha Ling'er, tiptoed, and quietly walked to the tree where the ginseng baby was hiding.

Suddenly, a figure jumped behind me, and I was suddenly startled, thinking: Is someone trying to rob my ginseng baby? For some reason, as soon as this idea came up, the anger in his heart ignited, and he immediately reached out and touched his waist, and found that he was not carrying a vajra peg, so he had to pick up a wooden stick and copy it in his hand.

The ginseng baby hiding behind the tree was long gone, and I saw that the person who ran in front of me was a monkey, and I couldn't help but glare at him at once. As a result, the monkey glared back at me without care, and said with obvious provocation in his eyes: Whoever catches it will be whom!

I couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and I just wanted to rush forward, but I was held tightly by Zha Ling'er, and it was difficult to move quickly. In the blink of an eye, the monkey jumped forward, as if he had found the ginseng baby again.

At this time, I also found that there seemed to be several ginseng babies wearing red pockets and green skirts in the woods, jumping happily everywhere, and everyone couldn't help but scatter and chase out.

At this time, I felt that it was strange to catch my Zha Ling'er, and dragged me down to catch the ginseng baby, so I pushed her to the ground, and then said "in the way" viciously, completely ignoring Zha Ling'er who sat on the ground with teary eyes and looked at me with a look of shock. Thinking only of it, he went into the dark woods to find the traces of the ginseng baby.

Suddenly, someone rushed up behind me, pointed it at the back of my neck, slashed hard, and I passed out.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the grass, my upper body stripped of my clothes, my body full of silver needles, and next to my face, there was a large pile of vomit.

My head was dizzy and not very clear, and when Zha Ling'er saw that I was awake, she turned around and called out the name of the cigarette man.

The cigarette man walked up to me, squatted down and opened my eyelids to look at it, then pulled out all the silver needles inserted in my body, and then said to Zha Ling'er, "Feed him some water." ”

Zha Ling'er helped me up and handed the kettle to my mouth, only then did I realize that there were two other people lying on the grass, namely Zha Qiye and Night Owl, who were also naked and covered with silver needles.

I took a sip of water, and then asked Zha Ling'er in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" (To be continued......)
