Chapter 3 Dried muntjac
I gasped for breath, and only then did I get a clear look at the little girl.
Her complexion is slightly dark, her long hair is tied into a ponytail, her facial features are delicate and dignified, but her eyebrows are slightly upturned, and she exudes a spicy energy between her expectations.
I just wanted to express my gratitude to this young lady, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, scratched my head and asked, "I don't seem to have seen you, how do you know that my name is Cheng Yi?!"
The little girl's face turned red, grabbed me by the collar on the back of my neck, and lifted me up from the ground to stand up: "My name is Lang Nier, and my family lives in Liuding Mountain, my family and your family...... It's a relative. ”
In fact, when I was a child, I heard my parents say that I was engaged to the wolf fairy, and I also knew that the common surname of the wolf fairy was Lang and he lived in Liuding Mountain, but I never believed that this was true.
At this time, when I heard this strange young lady introduce herself, I let out a "chuckle" in my heart, and looked at the little girl again with wide eyes: "You...... You won't be my future wife, will you?! ”
The little girl's face turned even redder, and she raised her hand and slapped me on the back of the head: "My aunt and grandmother are engaged to you, this is called 'getting married', do you still have an opinion?!"
I covered the back of my head, for fear of continuing to be beaten, so I quickly waved my hand and said, "Don't you hit people, okay?" Actually, I think you'...... You're good! ”
"Count you kid still a little taste!" Lang Nier stared at me with her hands on her hips: "Don't come out to wander around in the future, hurry home!"
I was completely frightened by the momentum she exuded, and as soon as I heard this, I was pardoned, and I didn't even want a fishing rod, and ran home with oil on the soles of my feet.
This was the first time I met my "fiancée", and from that day on, I was deeply troubled.
My future wife is a little older than me, so I want the people in the tunzi to know, don't you laugh at me for being a "little husband"?
Besides, she has a violent personality, and if she marries her in the future, she will not be bullied by her all year round?
Whenever I think of this, I can't help but secretly wipe my tears.
Two years later, when I was 12 years old, I had gone from being a child to a teenager.
Ding Jiugong came to my house and told my parents that the test of the Tiger Immortal and the Eagle Immortal when I was eighteen years old must not be simple, and asked me to follow him to learn the Tao so that I can cope with the test in the future.
Naturally, my parents couldn't ask for it, so in my spare time after school and on weekends, I spent almost all of my leisure time in the mountain temple and followed Ding Jiugong to learn Taoism.
Don't look at Ding Jiu's sloppy and crazy on a fair day, but he really has the ability, divination and appearance, and proficient in feng shui, once I took advantage of his nap to play a prank, wanted to burn a few of his beards, but the oil lamp splashed his mosquito net, he actually used the method of "please God to come up", and jumped out of the fire unharmed.
On the evening of my eighteenth birthday, my mother cooked a table of good dishes and asked me to invite Ding Jiugong over for lunch.
As a result, I searched the entire mountain temple and didn't find the shadow of Ding Jiugong, only the note he left behind, which probably means that he has returned to the Jiuding Mountain Orthodox Palace, and asked me to be careful to deal with the upcoming test.
Halfway through lunch, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and black clouds covered the sky in the blink of an eye, and a heavy rain was coming.
My dad was worried that the cattle and sheep grazing on the hillside would be lost in the wind and rain, so he threw down his chopsticks and ran out of the house, so I quickly followed, ready to help my dad drive the cattle and sheep back to the pen before the rain.
The two men gasped and finally drove the cattle and sheep together, and when they were counting, a ram suddenly ran away and plunged into the forest on the hillside.
So I asked my dad to drive the cows and sheep home first, and I went to the ram alone.
The mountains and forests of the northeast are tall and densely grassed, and while listening to the cries of sheep, I groped forward with my senses, and before I knew it, I had climbed over the hill and came to a low-lying ravine.
At this time, the heavy rain was pouring down, the rain and fog were rising, the light was dim, I vaguely saw a stone tablet in front of me, and I approached to take a look, and the stone tablet was impressively "Black Wind Ditch" three mottled characters.
As soon as I saw these three words, I suddenly shuddered.
Legend has it that a few decades ago, someone mined here to dig coal, but the coal was not dug much, and the mine collapsed several times, and many workers died, and then it was completely abandoned.
That is, after that, this ditch is not very peaceful, there are resentful ghosts and ghosts all the year round, there are always "ghosts hitting the wall" things happen, many villagers come in and can't get out, and finally trapped in it, no matter how experienced the old mountain guest arrives here, he has to walk around.
Although I learned some secret techniques from Ding Jiugong, I had never practiced them after all, and I was alone, so I couldn't help but feel stunned at this time, and I turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, there were suddenly a few sheep cries in front of me, and I followed the sound, and saw my big lost ram wandering around the ditch, and then panicked into an old mine.
The mountain village area points to the field and livestock, this big ram is a breeding sheep, if it is lost, it will be a big loss for my family, and my parents will be distressed for several days.
Thinking of this, I suddenly had the courage to dispel my fear, and strode towards the mine, determined to bring the ram home!
The cave was dark and deep, but fortunately there were a few discarded pine handles at the entrance of the mine, so I lit one with a lighter and walked into it by the faint light.
There were many twists and turns in the mine, and there were many forks in the road, and I was in a daze, when suddenly there was a terrible howl of a big ram in front of me.
I hurriedly followed the sound to chase after me, but the scene I saw in front of me made my hair stand on end!
I saw that in the dim and cramped mine tunnel, more than a dozen skinny and ragged people were surrounding them, like wild beasts, frantically biting my big ram!
The strange scene, the pungent bloody smell, and the gurgling chewing sound are really terrifying!
Sensing the light of the torches in my hand, the strange men immediately stopped biting and rushed to me.
"Young man, we are miners trapped here, you can do it, take us out!"
They didn't attack me, but one of them begged at me, his tone sad, and the others whimpered and sobbed.
I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I listened to Ding Jiugong tell a story, and he once said that there is a ghost in this world, called "dry muntjac".
The so-called "dried muntjac" does not refer to dried muntjac meat, but a kind of zombie-like thing, which generally appears in underground mines, and the corpses and souls of the dead miners are nourished by the leylines, and they will beg to take them out of the mine when they encounter a living person!
