Chapter 39: Buy Your Ginseng
It was about ten o'clock in the evening, and sure enough, someone appeared, and as soon as the sun set, people came back from outside, but the attitude of those people towards the two people tied to the tree was strange.
Those people just look at them, and some even treat them as if they were air, as if this happened from time to time.
"Hey!" Shen Jiong came over and asked, "Can't these people see us?" ”
"Maybe it's really invisible!" Wei Shuyan sighed and said, "It seems that the so-called poisonous miasma in this mountain is the kind of special drug you just said, the purpose is to prevent the living from approaching the village, and those medicine pickers who are said to have died of the poisonous miasma are also estimated to have been tied up here, as for what happened to them in the end, I don't know." ”
"It won't all be ......," Shen Yan guessed.
Wei Shuyan: "It's not impossible. ”
This village is not like it was only established in recent years, and no one outside knows that there is such a strange village here, there are only two possibilities.
One is that none of the people who came in were able to get out. The second is that the people who go out voluntarily shut up, and no one has ever revealed a trace of information.
If it's the second point, then how did they manage to keep everyone under control?
If you want to know this, you can't do it.
"Auntie, eldest brother, eldest sister......" Wei Shuyan wanted to try to call people passing by, but no one paid attention to her.
Eventually, they saw the little kid who was following them yesterday.
"Hey, hey. Come over to me, little brat," Wei Shuyan shouted.
Instead of listening to her, the child grimaced at her.
Shen Yi shouted: "Come here, Brother Shen Yi will give you candy to eat." ”
When the child heard the sugar, he seemed to recall something in his mind, and his body ran towards Shen Ji without obeying.
Shen Ji asked him, "Little friend, can you tell my brother what kind of place this is?" ”
The little kid gestured with his eyes, indicating that he needed candy to answer.
Shen Yi pursed his lips and smiled helplessly: "This kid is better than you." ”
Wei Shuyan cut off.
The child took out a candy from Shen Ji's arms, put it in his mouth, and ate it with relish.
Shen Ji took the opportunity to ask, "Can you answer my question now?" ”
Child: "My sister won't let me talk to strangers." ”
Shen Jiong: "How can we be strangers?" If you think about it, the first time you meet is a stranger. But we've met for the second time, and some people can become friends when we meet for the first time, and we can all become confidants. ”
Wei Shuyan pricked up her ears, and the useful information she has heard so far is the "sister" in the child's mouth.
However, Shen Wei is very good at coaxing children, and he is a monk who doesn't speak, so it's almost the same as being a human trafficker.
The child nodded, as if agreeing with Shen Jiong's statement, and just when Shen Ji thought she was going to succeed, the child said: "My sister said that people from outside are bad people, and I won't be friends with bad people." ”
Wei Shuyan couldn't help but ask: "People who come from outside, do outsiders often come in here?" ”
"There were a lot of people coming in, but they were all driven away by my sister, and the people who were bound here were all heinous bad guys." The innocent look of the child's clothes.
Although Wei Shuyan is not a profiteer, she is also unprofitable, interests are paramount, and she has also had a lot of lives on her hands, but she has always felt that she is still some distance away from being heinous.
Shen Wei is even more so, he often raises donations for disaster relief, not to mention killing people, even ants are reluctant to pinch to death all the time, how can he be called heinous.
"Boy, who do you say is heinous?" Wei Shuyan shouted, frightened the child and took a few steps back, crashing into a woman with Aunt Hong behind her. The child turned around and saw the woman in red, hugged her big thighs, and called out to her sister.
"Xiao Shengzi, my sister said that you can't talk to bad people, why do you still eat other people's food," the woman in red moved the candy out of Xiao Shengzi's mouth, Xiao Shengzi looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to resist.
The woman in red was followed by several other people, all dressed like the villagers here.
"It's been so many years, and it seems that you still haven't given up." She walked over, walked up to Shen Jiong, and pinched his chin, "It's a pity to be so skinny." ”
"Female benefactor, what do you mean by what you just said?" Shen Wei held back the pain that his jaw was about to be crushed.
"Female benefactor? Are you a monk? The woman in red seemed a little surprised, she looked Shen Ji up and down, "No, you have hair, you lied to me." ”
"I didn't," Shen Wei immediately denied, "I'm a lay disciple, and lay disciples all have hair, and sooner or later, I will shave my head one day." ”
"Shaving?" The woman in red didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.
"It's just shaving your hair." Shen Wei explained.
The woman in red: "But the monks will not get married, and there is a woman by your side." ”
"I'm his sister." Wei Shuyan rushed to speak, "I came to the mountain to collect medicine this time." ”
The woman in red walked over to Wei Shuyan's side, and there was a red vertical line between her minds, which seemed to be a sign of some kind of identity.
The woman didn't seem to believe her very much, she turned her head and asked Shen Jiong, "Is that so?" ”
Wei Shuyan prayed in her heart: At this time, he can be offended.
When the woman in red saw Shen Wei nodding, she relieved herself.
This woman seems to have some obsession with the identity of a monk, which she can feel from her conversation with Shen Ji just now.
Moreover, from the beginning of her attitude towards them, it seems that there have been people who have made them unfortunate before, just now Xiao Shengzi said that the people who collected the medicine were just driven away, and Wei Shuyan thought of this, so she was in a hurry to confirm the identity of their medicine pickers.
The woman in red ordered someone to untie the vines that trapped them, but Wei Shuyan still felt weak.
The woman in red ordered someone to bring the things that had been taken from them, and said, "You don't look like medicine pickers, this girl is full of weapons, but she seems to have come to kill people." ”
"Sister has good eyesight, we are not professional medicine pickers," Wei Shuyan knew that this person didn't trust them so easily, "My brother and I are from Jiangling, only because my sister's life is hanging by a thread, I heard that there is a medicine in the depths of this Ten Thousand Poison Valley, called Blood Vine Rose, which may save her life, so our sister and brother will venture into the mountain." ”
"Is that so?" She looked at Shen Ji again.
Shen Yi just nodded dumbly.
"I see, there are countless blood vines around here, but if you want blood vines to exert their effects, you have to feed them with blood, and you are willing to do so." The woman in red hummed a few words through her nose.
"She's my sister, I think if something happens to Xiao Shengzi, you will disdain everything." Wei Shuyan said firmly.
The woman in red looked at Shen Ji again.
Wei Shuyan smiled: "You don't believe my words so much, is it because I bought your ginseng at a low price." ”
