At that time, I was so frightened that I opened my mouth to scream as soon as I came to my senses.

Fortunately, the yellow cripple's hand reached over in time and blocked my mouth violently, and I knew that he was also awake.

"Don't scream, corpses can't be cheated."

Seeing that my emotions gradually calmed down, the yellow cripple tentatively let go of his hand.

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?" The corpse of the woman...... Female corpse ......"

Huang Cripple didn't wait to speak, he heard Lao Li Tou trembling beside him: "Huang Ye, why don't you forget it......"

It turned out that he was also awake.

I heard Lao Li Tou say again: "There is a law in the mountains, the old rules of Changbai can't be broken, the yang doesn't go to the yin, and you can't live and die!" ”

Lao Li Tou's words, I have heard it in the shop all these years.

The Changbai Mountain diggers have their own set of mountain rules, no one dares to break them from ancient times to the present, and there are two most important rules -

First, the yang does not go to the yin. The number of yang is single, the number of yin is double, where the number of digging ginseng is not the number of yang, it must not enter Changbai, and the visitors can bring the ginseng into a double return, a ginseng is both a body, a leaf is a person, and the offender is coming;

Second, there is no way to live and die. The bones of the ancestors, the people of this day are killed, all the bones and flesh of the corpse fall into the mountains and forests are not allowed to go out of the mountain, others can have their lives to go down the mountain safely, the corpse is out of the matter, the bones and souls are wronged, otherwise there will be ominous.

Lao Li wiped away his tears, and then said: "Huang Ye, you have been collecting the mountain for so long, if you get into trouble this time because of my affairs, how can I be worthy of those old brothers back then?" ”

Lao Li Tou said this sincerely, obviously he really didn't want to drag the yellow cripple into the water.

Huang Cripple didn't think so, waved his hand and smiled: "Why do you want to say this foreign talk? If you can help her settle this yin debt, it will also be regarded as a virtue, just to make up for the lack of conscience we committed back then......"

As soon as he heard this, Lao Li suddenly lowered his head, only choked.

The yellow cripple looked at me again, and saw that I was still staring at the direction where the female corpse ran away, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, you will get used to this kind of thing slowly......"

"Habit? Uncle, don't tease me, I can't get used to it. ”

"If you can't get used to it, you have to get used to it, think about how many days you have to live, if you want to save yourself, you have to learn to save people first......"

Huang Cripple got up as he spoke, and I hurriedly followed and asked, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

Huang Cripple smiled and asked, "You and I sprinkled a circle of lime around the shack, really to avoid insects and beasts?" ”

It dawned on me and said, "I see!" Did you already know that she could run, and deliberately let her step on the soles of her shoes to show us the way? ”

Huang Cripple smiled after hearing this, and said: "Even if you have a little talent as a longevity cub, I was afraid that I wouldn't see her go when I fell asleep, so I made more preparations." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked forward with the Suo Bao stick, and Lao Li and I hurriedly chased after him.

I heard the yellow cripple say again: "That girl is not a corpse, at least not to that strength now, she just saw the light of day after three years of burying her bones in the mountains, and suddenly sucked the moonlight, arousing the residual obsession in her heart......"

"What obsession?" I asked.

"If you get lost in the mountains for three years and suddenly go out one day, what do you want to do most?" Huang Cripple asked rhetorically.

"Home, of course." I didn't even think about it.

"Yes, she wants to go home too." After saying this, the yellow lame man walked forward, shaking his head and muttering-

"It doesn't rot overnight, and it hates for a while; It is not rotten for a year, and the grievance is seven inches long; Three years and twenty-one inches of resentment, one inch and eighteen steps, every step is hell; Shousheng cub, how much is twenty-one eighteen? ”

"Uh......"

I broke my hands and was just about to count, but Huang Cripple smiled: "Don't count, it's three hundred and seventy-eight, that girl can run up to three hundred and seventy-eight steps, our grandfather and son will chase her in the direction she ran away, and it won't take long to find her." ”

"What if she turns the corner?"

"She can't turn a corner, and the ghost doesn't hit the wall and the corpse doesn't take a detour, this is an old saying, you remember it well."

The yellow cripple had a confident expression when he spoke, and his words were quickly verified.

We followed the direction of the female corpse and searched all the way, and after walking about 300 meters away, we looked ahead by the moonlight, and saw the female corpse lying on the ground, motionless.

I hurriedly asked Huang Cripple and said, "Uncle, she doesn't seem to have run enough for 378 steps." ”

"It's not good enough, it's hard enough."

Huang Cripple said and squatted next to the female corpse, pressed the throat of the female corpse, and seemed to confirm that the female corpse would not run again, and then said: "I used the Suo Bao stick to slap it, and she ran out of a total of three hundred and five steps to the southeast, and the southeast is Xun, and the woe is Huanglong, and it is a resentful corpse that has been dead for about three years......"

Huang Cripple frowned tightly, pinched in his hands for a while, and kept babbling in his mouth.

Seeing that he looked attentive, I didn't dare to disturb, so I asked Lao Li Tou next to me: "Uncle Li, what kind of wind is my Uncle Huang smoking?" ”

Lao Li Tou glared at me and said, "Don't talk nonsense! This is the number of magic, Huang Ye is calculating where the home of this female corpse is. ”

"Can this still be calculated?" I was a little shocked.

Lao Li nodded and said: "Of course you can, how many steps does the female corpse take, how long she has been dead, where she has gone, these have a fixed number, and you can read the heavenly machine by extrapolating the number of magic......"

"My Uncle Huang still has this ability?"

"Where is this? Silly boy, meeting Huang Ye is a blessing for your eight lifetimes, you still have to learn more......"

When I was talking to Lao Li Tou, Huang Cripple suddenly greeted -

"Lao Li, I haven't been in the mountain for too long, you can help me think about it, from now on go straight west for thirty-eight and a half miles, what is the approximate place?"

"Thirty-eight miles...... Half ......"

Lao Li pondered for a while, thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said busily: "It's the Qian family camp!" There are three villages and one town nearby, and there are people living in such a palm-sized area. ”

"It seems that this matter is out there," Huang Cripple groaned, and said: "Lao Li, I have to trouble you to carry the corpse back to the shack, let's go down the mountain in the morning, and send the corpse to the Qian family camp to understand everything......

Lao Li Tou hurriedly responded, picked up the female corpse and followed us back.

I don't know how far I went, and the yellow cripple who was leading the way in front suddenly raised his hand and said, 'Slow'.

Lao Li Tou and I hurriedly stopped, at first I didn't know what was wrong with the yellow cripple, until I looked forward by the moonlight, and three vague humanoid black shadows faintly appeared in the shade of the trees in front of me, staring straight at us, I was shocked in my heart, and my heart said that it was broken, this is to meet the dirty things in the mountains.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the deep mountains and old forests, there are many dirty things in the mountains, and many ginseng diggers who go to the mountains have encountered it, so when they go to the ginseng shop to hand over ginseng, they often mention it after tea and dinner.

But this is the first time I've met it in person.

I didn't know what to do, so I saw Huang Cripple holding a Suo Bao stick and hugging the three black shadows, and said in a suppressed voice: "The unicorn has three ridges and three mountains, and the dragon has nine hornless seas, if you know my identity, you sell a thin noodle, I can't pay it yet, but I will leave an explanation......

As he spoke, the yellow cripple gave me a meaningful look, his expression mixed.
