Frightened by throwing the mirror, I looked back sharply, and there was a girl standing by the door frame of the room, holding a dinner plate.

I quickly picked up my phone and took a photo, this girl was wearing a big braid, wearing a small red short-sleeved, big eyes and long watery eyes, but the fly in the ointment was that there was a large birthmark on the left side of his face, which was very eye-catching.

The girl laughed when she saw that I was afraid, and opened her mouth and said:

"At first glance, you are from the city, you are so timid"

I looked at her suspiciously and asked:

"Who are you?"

The girl came and put the plate beside the bed and said:

"My name is Liu Shuilian, I was instructed by Brother Wu to come, and I will deliver all your meals in the future, just call me Shuilian"

I glanced at the plate, which contained a bowl of rice and a small plate of stir-fried vegetables.

Before Lao Wu left, he said that he dragged his friends here to take care of me, but I never expected Lao Wu to entrust me to this inconspicuous little girl in front of me.

After saying that, Shuilian took out a bundle of candles from the placket of her clothes, and after taking out one and lighting it, there was finally some light in the room.

After I turned off my phone flashlight, Shuilian sat down on the edge of my bed.

"Is it fun in town?"

"Well, it's ok"

It was late, and I didn't want to talk to her, so I replied.

Shuilian smiled and pointed to the food and said:

"You eat, leave me alone, I have to take the dishes and chopsticks back after eating."

She was really waiting for the rice bowl, and I picked up the rice and ate it when I heard it.

A girl came to bring me food at night, and it was a little embarrassing to ignore her, so I said while holding the dish:

"I heard Lao Wu say that your village is called Huaihu Village, the scenery is so beautiful, and the mountains are really high."

"Maybe it's pretty good, I grew up in the mountains and never entered the city, I'm tired of seeing them, but I like our mountains very much, there are a lot of rare treasures in them"

"Huh? What baby, what else is there besides mountain vegetables and wild fruits? ”

I'm saying this a little abruptly, but this girl has a very hearty personality and doesn't seem to care.

"There are so many treasures, medicinal herbs, animal skins, and ......."

The girl paused at this point, and suddenly her eyes lit up again, and she said:

"And the ginseng doll?"

"Ginseng dolls?"

The girl said with a wistful face:

"Yes, it's ginseng, a hundred years and thousands of years of people will turn into human form when they become fine, so they are called ginseng dolls"

I smiled when I heard this, thinking that this girl was really naïve, so I put another mouthful of food in my mouth and said:

"Well, ginseng doll, did you catch it and eat it?"

The girl's head tilted, and the big eyes reflected in the candlelight were clear and clear.

"Of course I'm here to eat, my dream is to catch a ginseng doll"

I saw this girl's immature cuteness, and I couldn't help but be interested in chatting with her.

"Well, don't you see that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea in Tang Guo's grandmother just ate a thousand-year-old He Shou Wu and became an immortal, and you also want to become an immortal when you catch a ginseng doll?"

"No, you see, this birthmark I brought in my next life covered half of my face, and I just wanted to eat a ginseng doll to cure my face."

Shui Lian said and covered the left half of her face with her hand, she was still grinning just now, and she suddenly became depressed and pitiful when she mentioned it.

I took a closer look at the big birthmark on her face, it was crimson in the light of the candlelight, I remember hearing a friend who studied medicine said that the birthmark brought by the next life is not impossible to remove, but the best time for treatment is when you are young, and the birthmark will grow after adulthood, even if it is manually removed, it is easy to leave dark marks.

I shook my head and said:

"Eating ginseng may not be effective, when you have the opportunity, you should go to the city to see a doctor, do an operation or something, maybe you can get rid of it"

Shuilian looked at me and smiled and said:

"Eating ginseng dolls must be effective, it was Mrs. Qiu herself who told me"

At this point, I just stripped off the food and put the rice bowl and chopsticks on the plate with satisfaction.

Shuilian was very happy to see that I had eaten it all, picked up the plate and stood up and said:

"Okay, you can rest if it's not early, and I'll bring you food tomorrow morning."

"Well, thank you," I replied with a smile.

Shuilian picked up the dinner plate and turned around and was about to go out, thinking about it and turning back and saying:

"By the way, I'm going to go up the mountain tomorrow morning to find a ginseng doll, will you go?"

Mountain?

Although I grew up in the countryside, my family's mountain is not much bigger than Tubao, and I have never climbed a mountain as high as Huaihu Village.

It's okay to stay here anyway, it's better to go up the mountain with her tomorrow to play, thinking of this, I nodded.

"Okay, then you come to me tomorrow morning, and I'll accompany you up the mountain to find a ginseng doll."

Shuilian answered with a smile and went out.

After chatting with this girl about a meal, I suddenly felt in a good mood.

She lives in this small closed mountain village, although she has no mobile phone, no computer, and no access to all kinds of new gadgets, but there is no complicated intrigue in the city, no unpredictable conflicts of interest, and she still lives a very happy and positive life.

Of course, I just listened to the ginseng doll she mentioned as a joke, and the stalk in the TV series, this girl actually took it as her own lifesaver.

I made my bed again, cleaned up briefly, and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, before I got up, this water lotus girl came to me happily.

I lay on the quilt and nibbled on the big steamed buns she brought, chatting with her without saying a word.

Isn't going up the mountain just to play.,This girl really takes it seriously.,It's a strong urge me to get up and set off.。

I finished eating the steamed buns and crawled out of the quilt lazily, and the water lotus was mysteriously threading the needle on the side.

When I saw this, I thought it was strange and asked her:

"Girl, what are you doing with needle and thread, you want to sew clothes for me?"

Shuilian smiled and handed me a thin needle with a red thread thread and said:

"It's all up to you to catch a ginseng doll, if you see a ginseng doll in the mountains, you have to find an opportunity to stick this needle on him, no matter where he runs back into ginseng, we can find it along this red rope"

I let out a long sigh and nodded my head in a pretended understanding.

I rolled the long red thread into a ball of yarn and stuck the needle in it and put it in my pocket.

The two of us set off on the first rays of the morning to look for ginseng dolls.

It was too dark last night to look carefully by candlelight, but I took a closer look at her this morning.

Oops, this water lotus girl is beautiful, white-eyed, big-eyed, and really good-looking, if it weren't for the nasty birthmark that covered half of her face, she would be a complete beauty.

Before I could praise her, this girl praised me first.

"You people in the city just look different, you're so handsome, by the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

I almost fell on my head when I heard her say this.

My appearance is a public face that can't be found in the pile, except for my mother, she is the second to say that I am handsome.

I smiled and replied:

"My name is Li Yao"

The water lotus girl laughed at the two dimples and said:

"How long are you going to live in our village, if you don't leave in a hurry, follow me up the mountain every day to find a ginseng doll, and the two of you can find a better chance."

I smiled and asked:

"Do you have to go up the mountain every day to find a ginseng doll?"

"Yes, I have to come every morning and then go down the mountain before noon to cook and have been doing it for a year."

"Been holding out for a year?"

Although I think it's ridiculous to find a ginseng doll, I really admire the perseverance of Shuilian.

"By the way, what did you say last night, what did Mrs. Qiu tell you to find? Who is she, why do you believe in her so much?"

Water Lotus nodded and said:

"It's Mrs. Qiu, she is the big baby in our village, I begged her for a month to let her show me how to cure this birthmark, and she told me about the ginseng doll."

I heard the words silently felt worthless for the water lotus, what Mrs. Qiu, I guess I was annoyed by the water lotus, so I just found an explanation to Tang Sai in the past, but I didn't expect to be taken seriously by this stupid girl.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Shuilian continued to say after a while:

"Do you know, Mrs. Qiu in our village is amazing, she has no children and no daughters to plant four plots of land, we have never seen her work in the field, but she takes care of each piece of land very well, the crops do not produce insects, and the grass does not grow in the ground"

I couldn't hold back a sneer.

"Girl, what's so amazing about this, maybe this old lady has serious insomnia and works in the middle of the night, so you can't see it during the day."

Shuilian said seriously:

"No, she still has a lot of skills, don't you believe I'll show you when I'm free."

The two of us chatted all the way, and before we knew it, we had entered the mountains and forests.

Shui Lian glanced left and right at me and said:

"Brother Li, you wait for me here first, I'll go over there to see if my father buried anything in the beast clip yesterday."

I nodded, and the water lotus went to the other side of the hill.

The air in this deep mountain and old forest is not generally good, and I am used to absorbing the haze of the city, which is finally fresh and fresh, and I feel that the whole person is instantly refreshed.

I closed my eyes, opened my arms, and embraced nature, enjoying all the beauty when I heard the sound of the grass around me.

I opened my eyes curiously.

There was a little boy standing in the grass not far from me!

Where did the little boy come from in the early morning of this barren mountain and old forest?

The little boy looked to be four or five years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing only a small red belly pocket.

When they saw me, they weren't afraid, they just stood there quietly and didn't move.

"Little brother, why did you run up the mountain?"

The little boy did not speak, but still stood there as calm as an adult.

Ay?

It's strange, to be honest, such a big kid is very timid, and he is very scared when he sees strangers, why is this kid so calm?

Besides, in the woods on this hillside, it was early in the morning, and there was no shadow of his parents at all.

Ginseng dolls??

, no, in this world, there are really ginseng dolls that have become sperm?

I took a deep breath, I don't know!!

There are even ghosts in this world, and no one is allowed to make ginseng into essence, and the ginseng doll really let me meet it!

The child didn't move, but my heart was churning, I remembered the red thread needle that Shuilian gave me, and quickly took it out of my pocket, and cautiously walked into the little boy.

"Little brother, are you lost, don't be afraid, my brother will take you home"

I said as I moved forward.

At first, the little boy didn't move, just tilted his head to look at me, and when I was less than five meters away from him, the boy suddenly turned his head and ran back desperately.

"This kid is such a little thing, he runs so fast, he's really a ginseng doll!!"

I cursed in my heart, and quickly chased after me with all the strength to eat.

After chasing him for a minute or two, I finally got close to him again, and I reached out and hugged him, but I didn't expect him to be very flexible, and he found a hole and got out.

Although he slipped away from the crook of my hand, I was not discouraged, but full of confidence.

Because at that moment just now, I had already pierced the red thread needle in his red belly pocket.
