Chapter 12: The Ghost Upper Body
"I'm X, didn't you say you could just turn a corner! How many fucking turns has this made! "After six or seven minutes of trotting all the way, the cheap guy couldn't stand it anymore.
The fat cow panted and replied, "I...... I mean a big turn, little ...... Little bends don't count ......"
"I ...... Damn, you didn't say it earlier! How far is it to go? "I was anxious when I heard it.
"Old ...... Boss, just ...... It's just ahead......"
After running for another two minutes, I finally came to a wooden house that was already a little dilapidated, there was no one else around this wooden house, and I looked a little lonely there, there was a big tree in front of the house, and under the tree it seemed to be a vegetable patch, and the door of the wooden house was hidden, and the dim light came out through the crack in the door, and some new long wooden benches could be vaguely seen stacked in the doorway.
"To ...... It's here! You wait for me outside, and I'll get the saw. The fat cow said, pushed the door and entered the house.
The lowly and I were already too tired to breathe, so we pulled out a bench from the door, placed it on the ground, and sat down to rest.
There was a conversation between the fat man and his father in the house, I didn't hear anything about it, but the big tree in front of the house attracted our attention, the tree was about seven or eight meters high, it seemed luxuriant, with the breeze blowing, the leaves of the tree made a rattling sound, as if someone was clapping their hands, it looked very special, but because the sky was too dark, I couldn't see the true appearance of the tree.
"Brother Yu, what kind of tree is this! It's kind of interesting! ”
"How do I know, don't say I can't see clearly, even if I can see clearly, I don't know!"
As he spoke, the fat man came out of the house carrying a large wooden saw, and dragged a burlap bag in his hand, which seemed to be intended for the peach. Unable to continue studying the tree, the lowly and I immediately stood up, and without saying a word, the three of us trotted all the way to the abandoned earth temple.
When we ran back to the peach tree, we found that there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and under the moonlight, the whole peach tree seemed to be covered with a strange and hazy veil, and when I looked up, I couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing that I suddenly stopped, I asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
I settled down and replied, "It's okay, let's get to work!" ”
The fat cow brought a saw, which can be pulled by two people, in order to save effort, I and the cheap one person grabbed one end of the saw, and began to get busy.
With this big saw, it was much easier for us to see the tree, and the movement was much faster.
After a while, with a "crunch" sound, the tree began to tilt to the side.
"The tree is falling! Get out of the way! I shouted loudly as I pulled the cheap Wagyu Fat Man backwards, and before I had run a few steps, I heard a commotion behind me, and when I looked back, the huge peach tree had fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, the fat man immediately rushed over with a burlap bag to pick up the peach on the branch, and I and the cheap man were too lazy to care about him, and stepped forward to continue sawing the trunk, such a big tree, it is impossible to drag it all away, not to mention that the main trunk of the peach tree is only needed to build the peach sword.
After some hard work, I and I finally sawed down a tree trunk of uniform diameter, a meter and a half long, enough to make several fine mahogany swords, and although we were tired and sweaty, we looked at this trunk with excitement. The fat man also had a good harvest, and he took advantage of the sawing time of the two of us to pick half a sack of peaches.
The peach tree is relatively heavy, such a large peach trunk, if it is carried back from the suburbs in the south of the city, I am afraid that I will have to lie down with the cheap, not to mention that this matter has to be hidden from Huang Yixian, so where to hide this trunk has become a headache for us.
Even if you hide it well, you may be discovered, and you may be picked up and burned as firewood.
It doesn't seem appropriate to dig a hole in the ground and bury it, after all, it's wood, the underground moisture is too heavy, it won't take a few days, I'm afraid it should be insects, not to mention that this is still used to build a peachwood sword, and it can't be contaminated with the qi of the earth.
I discussed with the cheap for a long time, but I couldn't come up with a suitable method.
At this time, the fat man said in a low voice on the side: "Old ...... Boss, if you run out of saws, I'll take them back. ”
The cheap waved his hand a little impatiently: "Go!" Didn't you see that we were discussing business? Don't meddle! ”
I looked at the fat man, and suddenly my brain was excited, I slapped my thigh violently, and said loudly: "Why are we so stupid!" You can take this stump to the cow fat man's house first! ”
"Yes! Hehe, why did we forget about you kid! The cheap party still had a tired expression towards him, and now he immediately changed his smiling face.
The fat cow didn't seem to react yet, he looked up at the two of us in a daze, and opened his mouth, "Huh!?" "Yes.
"What's wrong! Wouldn't it work!? ”
"Okay! Yes! Let's go! ”
The fat man threw the half-sack of peaches on his shoulder, picked up the saw with one free hand, and walked forward, while the cheap man and I carried the peach stake one by one and followed behind.
I didn't know that I hadn't taken a few steps, and suddenly a low sigh came from behind me, and it seemed to be accompanied by a faint whisper, I suddenly felt that my hairs were about to stand up, and the cheap was even more frightened, and almost didn't throw the peach stake to the ground, and we suddenly looked back, but there was not even half a figure.
The fat man, who had always been slow to react, didn't know what was going on, he walked a few steps and saw that the two of us didn't follow, turned his head and asked, "What did you just say?" "He thought I was talking to the cheap.
"Tell me you're big! Come on! ”
The two of us didn't care so much, carrying dozens of pounds of peach wood stakes actually rushed up on the sheep intestine path, and the fat cow who was originally walking in front fell behind the two of us, and he shouted loudly while chasing: "Boss, what's wrong!" Ay! Wait...... Wait for me ......"
We ran to the door of the fat man's house in one breath, and then stopped, we were already too tired to do anything, and sat down on the ground with a paralyzed butt, and I realized that because I had been carrying the peach stake, one shoulder had been completely numb, and my arm was also sore and painful.
"Old ...... Boss, you...... What are you running? Difficult...... Was it discovered? "The fat man still didn't understand what was going on.
The cheap gasped and replied, "No...... It's not that someone has found out, it's ...... It was discovered by a ghost......"
When the fat cow heard this, he was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground, "Ghost! At...... Where......"
"Don't listen to cheap nonsense, where is the ghost in this world!" The fat cow man is timid, and I am afraid that he will be frightened.
While we were talking, the fat man in the house heard it and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you talking to, soldier?" ”
The fat man hurriedly replied: "Harmony...... And classmates too! ”
"Your classmates haven't come home so late, it's past nine o'clock, let them go back early!"
As soon as I heard it, it was more than nine o'clock, so I hurriedly stood up and pulled the cheap who was still sitting on the ground: "I'm X! We've got to go back! Otherwise, Huang Yixian would have to be beaten to death! Then he turned his head to the fat man and said, "This peach stake will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and you can carry it to your house, and no one can touch it!" We'll come back tomorrow! The fat man nodded desperately as if he had received some important task.
Leaving the fat man's house, I and the cheap man followed the road we came, trotting all the way by the moonlight.
From the south of the city to the north of the city, there are five or six miles of land, even if we trot back, I'm afraid it will take half an hour, and when we get home, it is estimated that it is more than ten o'clock, when I think of such a late hour, my mind immediately appeared Huang Yixian's terrible face and the ruler in his hand specially used to beat my ass, and my heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Huang Yixian usually rarely beats people, but if he starts, it is really ruthless! Once I secretly took the cheap to swim in the river, and was discovered by Huang Yixian, my ass was opened by him, and I could only sleep on my stomach for several days.
In fact, this road is not the only way to go home, but we are not familiar with this area at all, so since we are from this road, it is naturally more reliable to go back from this road, so as not to be in the middle of the night, in case it is a big trouble to go back to the road.
The ruins of the Land Temple stood alone in the overgrown clearing, looking at it from a distance, it looked like a lonely tomb, and my heart couldn't stop beating wildly when I thought of the strange sigh just now.
I glanced at the cheap, only to see that his face was pale, like a blank piece of paper, and his body kept shaking, and his forehead was oozing beads of sweat, I thought he was running too fast, tired, and was about to ask if he wanted to rest for a while, but he suddenly screamed, fell to the ground and convulsed, which scared me a lot.
"Cheap, you...... What happened to you! ”
I hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out my hand to help him up, but his strength was suddenly amazing, and he threw me aside. Looking at his face again, it had become a little hideous and terrifying, his eyes were red, and they bulged out.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, secretly screaming that it was not good! Isn't his appearance the symptom of the "ghost body" described in the book!?
Thinking of this, my mind suddenly went blank, although I had almost memorized the "Yin and Yang Mystic" handed down by my master, but when it came to this point, I was a little overwhelmed.
The was rolling back and forth on the ground, and from time to time let out a terrible scream, and I was too anxious to do anything, but I didn't dare to come forward to help.
What to do! What am I going to do!? This kind of thing can be big or small, if you don't do it well, you can take a cheap life!
I desperately tried to think about the way to deal with the "ghost upper body" recorded in the book, but I was so nervous that I couldn't think of anything for a while.
