We were amazed at the knife's reaction, wondering why he suddenly became so irritable. I looked at Liu Jiangtou with an inquiring eye, only to see that Liu Jiangtou was still smoking a dry tobacco pouch and didn't say a word for a long time. But the knife's face changed abruptly, and he pointed at us and drank: "After eating, you can leave, there is nothing you want here!" ”

After the little knife finished speaking, he turned his head and entered the house, leaving us and others stupid on the spot, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while. After a while, Liu knocked his head on the cigarette bag and pot, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, my grandson is not sensible, don't blame him." Forget it, leave him alone, eat and eat! ”

Where are we in the mood to eat, lest this matter be so yellow, so I had to ask carefully: "Liu Jiaotou, what the hell is going on?" ”

"It's a long story!" Liu turned his head and sighed and said, "The Fulongling that the knife said is an extremely dangerous place. It is said that a long time ago, there was a legend that there was a divine dragon in it, and it often came out to make trouble. The erupting fires often burn the surrounding mountains and forests to the ground. Later, a god came, subdued this dragon, and suppressed it in this mountain. So there is the name of this Fulongling. The place was shrouded in miasma for many years, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside. More than 10 years ago, there was an expedition team that wanted to go into the mountains and ask for a tour guide in our village. At that time, no one wanted to go, and the father of the knife wanted to earn this money, so he took the risk of taking these people in. As you can imagine, those people haven't come out until now. Father Knife is dead inside, that's why as soon as he hears about that place, he strongly opposes it, he is afraid that we will die in it and won't be able to get out. ”

I see! We all looked at each other and thought to ourselves, should we run for nothing this time? I turned my eyes to glance at Yang Guangtong, and saw that his brows were furrowed, the chopsticks he pinched clicked, and his heart was broken, this guy was probably going to take a risk.

Sure enough, he listened to Yang Guangdao: "Liu Tuotou, can you tell me the specific location of Fulongling, and I will go by myself!" No matter what, for the sake of my grandfather's illness, I have to break through the sea of swords and fires. ”

When I heard this, my heart was greatly touched, and I said in my heart, this is really a filial son! So he also said: "It's too dangerous for you to go by yourself, I'll go with you!" ”

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Everyone responded one after another, just like the place they were going to be a fun scenic spot, not a dangerous place of death, lest they should be left behind.

Yang Guangtong was very moved, but he obviously didn't want us to take risks for him, so he said: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's too dangerous to go this time, and I don't dare to let everyone take risks for me, so I took everyone's kindness!" ”

I said: "Brother Yang, don't treat us as outsiders, we are all people with unique skills, and we have experienced any kind of danger, don't worry, we are here, and we will keep you safe and sound." ”

At this time, Liu put his head into the cigarette pouch pot and said openly: "Okay, okay, don't fight, let's go together." Don't look at my old man's age, but when it comes to climbing mountains, you may not be as good as me. Well, for the sake of your filial piety, I will be a guide for you and take you there! ”

With Liu leading the way, of course we are happy. But when I thought about it, I felt that it was inappropriate. This journey is dangerous, in case Liu has a head with three long and two short, the knife will not eat us! So they rejected his kindness, and only begged him to give us a specific route, and we could do the rest ourselves.

Liu turned his head and said: "You young people don't want to earn anymore, let me ask you, can you tell what kind of wild ginseng is a hundred years old?" Do you dig ginseng? What should I do first when I encounter ginseng? What to do again? You know what? You don't understand, even if you meet a century-old ginseng, you will be in trouble! So, you can't do without my old trick! ”

As soon as Liu said this, all of us were stunned. He's right, we don't know anything about putting mountains. If it weren't for Liu, we really don't know where to start. Yang Guangtong was still worried, so he asked, "That...... What about the knife? ”

Liu listened to this, sighed, and deliberately raised his voice to speak, so that the little knife in the room could hear: "Alas! You don't know, since my son died in it, I have always wanted to go into the mountains to see, and if I have the opportunity, I can bring back my son's body and bury it in the ancestral grave, which is also a wish of mine. It's a pity, old man, I'm old, and others don't want to go with me, so of course I can't go alone. Now that you are so young and willing to go, how can I give up this opportunity! This time, I must find my son's bones! Take him home! ”

When Liu turned his head to this, he burst into tears. When we all heard this, we were all sad. Kaka and Wu Qingqing even wiped away tears. Poor white-haired people send black-haired people, the sorrow of the world, but that's it!

Everyone was infected, and they all said: "Liu Tuotou, don't be sad, even if you can't find ginseng, it is also a merit to be able to recover your son's bones, no matter what, we will help you!" ”

At this moment, the door of the knife's room suddenly opened, and the knife came out of the house. I saw that there were tears on his face, and he thought he had just cried. He glanced at us and said in a dumb voice: "I'll go pull a few red ropes, and let's go to the mountain together tomorrow!" ”

The transformation of the little knife was pleasantly surprised, and when they saw him go out, everyone came back to their senses, and they were all very happy!

Liu turned his head and shouted, "Eat!" Rest early after eating, and get up early tomorrow to put the mountain! ”

The crowd cheered and immediately set off. A gust of wind swept away the food on the table. Then everyone arranged their beds and prepared to rest. There weren't many beds, not enough for so many of us. Luckily, we all brought tent sleeping bags and were looking for an opportunity to go camping, which came in handy now. Liu put the head of the house, and with a sleeping bag, it can make up for a night.

We packed it up, and listened to Liu talk about some precautions, such as the person who put the mountain cannot be an even number, but only a singular number. Because I am afraid that if there are two people, one person will be greedy for money. It can't be four people, because "four" is the same as "death", which is unlucky. Pay attention to go to single back and double! Because I dug up ginseng, it is counted as a person, which means double. When you enter the mountains, you must not talk and scream, because if you call for something, you have to take it. For example, if you come across a snake on the road and you shout that there is a snake, then you have to hold the snake. For example, you can't sit on a big tree stump, because that's the seat of the mountain god!

The mountain people can't say the word "no", for fear of bad luck. The mountain people call the dried antlers and dried roe deer horns "dry search", and when they see bad luck, it indicates that they are busy working in vain. Smoking is called "taking fire", resting is called "taking squatting", eating is called "taking rice", sleeping is called "taking sleep", and changing residence is called "taking the house", which means that it is all to get ginseng. Digging ginseng is called "pinching the rice pocket", "not opening the eyes" is also called "not pinching the rice pocket", and cooking is called "serving the pot".

In short, there are many rules, and so on. We made a secret note of it. Liu turned his head and talked to us about the anecdote of his young time, and it was getting late, so he went to sleep.

I was lying in my sleeping bag, and I could see the bats flying outside through the window, and I felt a throbbing in my heart for no reason, and I always felt a little restless—
