Chapter 9

I tried my best to breastfeed, holding the watermelon girl and slamming left and right in the woods, hoping to get rid of the thing, but before I could run a hundred meters, when I turned back, the thing was already within two steps behind me, and I wanted to pull my neck with a flick of my arm.

And at this time, by the sparse moonlight in the forest, I finally shook my head that had been drooping while the thing was running, and saw the face of the thing clearly, which didn't matter, so frightened that I almost staggered and fell to the ground with the watermelon girl in my arms.

That thing is both a person and not a person.

said that he was a human because that thing did have a human face, and it should look like a middle-aged bearded man in his fifties, saying that he was not a human because his original human-like face was completely ulcerated and edemous at this time, and even the skin and flesh on his forehead and face were gone, leaving only a large piece of rotten flesh with exposed bones and green hair.

Frightened by his appearance, my legs went limp, and I ran more slowly, and when the thing saw that it was getting closer and closer to me, it suddenly raised its hand and began to scratch at my back, and I could clearly feel his slender nails scratching my back, making my back hurt fiercely.

I said in my heart that this is over, although I knew that this time it was dangerous to enter the mountain, and even thought of various possible ways to die for myself in advance, but I really didn't expect this.

The more I think about it, the more desperate I become, and a huge sense of fear hits my heart, and I can't wait to throw the watermelon girl on the spot, turn around and fight hard with that thing, so I'm a gentleman, but after all, how easy is it to do?

Just then, a young boy who was in a hurry came from in front of meβ€”

"Boy, get down!"

Although the voice was immature, it gave people an inexplicable sense of trust, and for a while I seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, holding the watermelon girl and quickly bending over, and rolling forward with the momentum of the watermelon girl.

As I rolled forward, I saw a white shadow sweeping past me, rushing towards the monster behind me.

I rolled on the ground four or five times with the watermelon girl in my arms, and when I stopped, I didn't care about the pain all over my body, I turned my head to look behind me first, and at this time, the white shadow had knocked the monster into the weeds beside me, and the weeds made a loud noise, and the sound of fighting and the howl of the humanoid monster was endless.

Suddenly, a puff of black smoke rushed out of the grass and straight through the night sky, and after ten or so seconds, the black smoke melted away, and I heard a loud noise, and the white shadow came out of the grass and landed steadily, and I recognized that it was the little brother surnamed Bai who went up the mountain with us, at this time he was holding a bloody short knife in his right hand, and carrying a round black thing in his left hand, and was walking towards me.

"You kid is so fast, I almost can't catch up!"

The little brother wiped the blood splashed on his face, shook his hand forward as he spoke, and threw the round thing in his left hand directly at my feet, I looked at it and was startled, it was actually the head of the humanoid monster, and there was a yellow paper talisman full of charms on his forehead.

When I stared at the head and was panicking, the little brother was already squatting beside me, reached out and touched it in his arms, took out a small yellow paper bag and handed it to me: "You take this glutinous rice flour to wipe the scratches on your back first, otherwise the corpse poison will enter the body, and the swelling will hurt you to death in the morning." ”

"You, why are you here?" I took the yellow paper bag and asked tremblingly.

The little brother smiled and said coldly: "I was there before you carried the axe to save Miss Wang, if you didn't rush out at that time, I would have saved her, those two scum really thank you, it's not that you are killed halfway, neither of them will survive tonight......"

"You've been there for a long time?" I asked, "Then why didn't you do it sooner?" I was almost stabbed to death by Lan Lantern Zhao! ”

The little brother said coldly: "What I want to save is Miss Wang, what does it have to do with me whether you live or die?" ”

After the little brother finished speaking, he ignored me, got up, sat up the watermelon girl who was still unconscious, and began to check the injuries on the watermelon girl.

Fortunately, there were only some bruises on the watermelon girl that I fell out, and the little brother breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to me again: "I can pick up a life today, count your fortune and great life, remember it for me in the future, if you encounter any emergencies in the mountains, don't worry about it, the affairs of Changbai Mountain are not something you can manage, and some you can't think about it, like him......"

The little brother said and pointed in the direction of the grass.

I looked at the human head on the ground again, and asked the little brother, "What the hell is this thing?" Don't tell me someone is trying to scare me. ”

"That's the boss." The little brother replied: "This thing is not common in this realm, I am afraid that this thing came out of the Yin Bing Ditch by mistake, but I didn't expect us to run into it." Fortunately, it was me who met me, and there was no major incident, if other ginseng-digging teams ran into it, or let him wander down the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable......"

"What's the header?" I asked again.

The little brother replied: "Ginseng has aura, the longer the year, the more spiritual energy is, so more than a hundred years of old ginseng around, often gather some snakes, insects, rats and ants to absorb aura, over time the old ginseng is contaminated with poison, it will be transformed into a living toadstool, similar to the corpse pot of practicing Gu in Xiangxi witchcraft, but it is more poisonous than that, if people eat it by mistake, they will not die and go crazy......

"Presumably this kind of madness?" I panicked and said, "So, this is really a big living person?" ”

The little brother shook his head: "He used to be a human, but now he doesn't count." Ginseng can replenish qi, poisonous ginseng enters the body to absorb people's essence, replenish people's qi, people's lives are sucked in, but the qi is still there, what do you say? ”

I thought for a while and said, "People fight for a breath, corpses are afraid of breath, and they are still angry when they are dead, so won't they become fucking zombies?" ”

"It's almost, but it's better than that, it's a ghost."

Seeing that I was scared, the little brother picked up the head of the person on the ground and threw it into the distance, and continued: "Everyone's physical fitness is different, and the willpower is different, so the reaction after eating poisonous ginseng is also different. And when we encounter this kind of lowest, the body is not dispersed by the qi of the poisonous ginseng, and it can't go up, and after death, it turns into a walking corpse that keeps its head down, and there is no purpose in going around in the mountains by relying on the obsession in the heart before death, called the head press. I look at his appearance, it should be the person who walked the mountain in the mountains to dig ginseng before, accidentally hit the Yin Bing ditch, and accidentally ate poisonous ginseng to cause this trouble, encountering this kind of best treatment, cut it along the throat, release the qi in his body, and it will be over......"

Listening to the words of the little brother surnamed Bai, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Little brother, how do you know so much?" ”
