Since Liu Yu cultivated the Nine Treasures of Stasis, his ears and eyes have become clear. He pricked up his ears, and although the two herb pickers were still some distance away from him, he had already put in their ears.

One of them said, "Second brother, how many years have we not been here to collect medicine?" The second brother replied, "It's been almost three years." If it weren't for that madman who ate all the dendrobium grass near our village, we wouldn't have come to this kind of ghost place to collect medicine. ”

The man said: "Yes, the shopkeeper Cui in the town has already sent people to the village several times, saying that if our village can't find dendrobium grass again, he will have to buy goods from other villages, and our village's wealth is gone." He patted his head, and then said: "Second brother, do you think that madman was sent by our opponent village to make trouble, they know that the whole Lijia Town belongs to our village, and the dendrobium grass is in the best condition, so they sent this person to deliberately make trouble and ruin our business." ”

The second brother shook his head and said, "Probably not! Someone has seen how that madman destroys medicine." It is said that he uprooted the dendrobium grass, regardless of the soil on the roots, and directly stuffed it into his mouth to eat, just like a wild man. If he was just sent by a neighboring village to destroy the dendrobium grass in our village, he didn't have to pretend to be like this. ”

The other nodded, "That's just as well." Or after we return to the village, we will discuss with the elders of the clan, and let the third master organize some young and strong guys, and find an opportunity to catch that madman and give him a good beating, so that he will not dare to make trouble again?"

The second brother sighed and said, "Sensei, Ah Si! When the four brothers of the Hou family went up the mountain to collect medicine half a month ago, they saw that madman. At that time, they blocked him in the mountains, trying to teach him a good lesson. was beaten by the madman alone, and the four brothers were beaten to cry and call their mother. The third child of the Hou family is still lying on the bed and can't get off the ground. After hearing this, Ah Si smacked his lips and said, "That madman is so powerful!"

As the two were talking, they walked only three or five steps away from Liu Yu. Liu Yu shouted through the crack in the stone: "Two uncles, you are good, save me!" The two herb pickers were startled when they heard this, and they glanced around but there was no one in sight. That Ah Si was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he hurriedly took out an iron hoe from the medicine basket, held it tightly in his hand, and said, "Second brother, no one has been here on this grass ridge for many years, didn't we meet a ghost!?"

Liu Yu shouted: "Two uncles, I'm not a ghost, I'm trapped in this stone." Please help me hoe this stone and get me out." When Ah Si heard him say this, he was even more frightened, and said: "Second brother, let's go quickly, this stone grows well, how can there be people in it? ”

The second brother said: "But when I listen to his voice, it really looks like a boy." That Ah Si said: "Second brother, I'm really scared, let's go." If you can't dig the dendrobium grass, forget it, it's a big deal to go back and tell the truth to the old people in the clan, just say that this inch of grass is haunted, and we really don't dare to come up again. ”

Liu Yu said: "This uncle, I am really a human, not a ghost. I fell down from the rock pit on the top of the mountain above, and then slid down the bottom of the pit all the way to here, I really can't get out, so I ask you to help!" When the second brother heard this, he said: "Where there is a rock pit, isn't that Wangjialing, there is some way from this inch of grass ridge." No way, no way!" he said, stepping back.

Liu Yu said: "Uncle, I don't know how long I've been sliding down, I'm stuck here anyway." That Ah Si grabbed it and said, "Don't you have to speak, you are a mountain ghost, you just want to trick the two of us to come over and eat it in one bite." Second brother, let's hurry back to the village, find Daoist Sun to calculate, and let him take his apprentices to do a ritual on this inch of grass ridge and go to the evil spirit here. ”

The second brother nodded in agreement and said, "Ah Si, what you said is extremely true. When I went back, I discussed with the third master, and asked him to order someone to kill the rooster, prepare the blood of the black dog, and let Daoist Sun bring it up the mountain in two days to do a great ritual. The two men ran back as they spoke, not daring to look back. The more Liu Yu shouted, the faster the two of them ran, and after a while, they disappeared.

Liu Yu looked at the few red flowers on the edge of the rock crevice, the petals were soft, and there were already some signs of imminent withering. I think that after this season, all the red mountains will wither, and it will be difficult for the bee to have such a convenient place to collect honey, and the honey he depends on will lose its source.

He was irritable all day, and until the evening, he didn't have the heart to cultivate the Nine Treasures of Removing Stasis. He lay in the rock chamber, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so he stretched out his head to look out of the crack in the stone, and saw the moonlight like silver, and the mountain grass swaying slightly in the wind. At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly came over, and lay down in the grass not far from him, and his hands picked up the soil one after another, as if he had found something in the grass.

The black shadow raised his hand, and Liu Yu saw through the moonlight that what he was holding in his hand was a medicinal herb. The dark shadow pulled out the herb and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with relish. Before he could finish eating, he found another plant and lay on the ground and dug it with his hands.

It seems that there are many of these herbs in the vicinity. The black shadow only circled around the area in front of Liu Yu's eyes, and he had already dug out dozens of medicinal herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. I don't know if he can fill his stomach with such a way of eating, he always keeps digging and eating.

Seeing this black shadow, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the madman mentioned by the two medicine pickers during the day. If this is really the case, it is not surprising that according to his way of eating, he can eat up the dendrobium grass all over the mountains. The black shadow crouched on the ground, chewing on the roots of the grass and not looking around.

Liu Yu shouted at him through the crack in the rock: "Hey, who is that, can you hear me?" The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and quickly stuffed the remaining dendrobium grass roots into his mouth, swallowed it, and said: "Who, that, who am I, who do you say I am?" He swayed in the direction of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said: "Then who, can you help me dig this rock crevice, can you hear me speak?" The black shadow tilted his ears sideways, his eyes were glazed, and said: "Can you hear, can't you hear, who am I? Who am I?" Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh when he heard him speak incoherently, but he refused to give up this glimmer of hope, and said: "I'm trapped inside, I can't get out, can you save me?"

When the black shadow heard this, it rushed over like the wind, and its movements were very fast, which frightened Liu Yu's heart. When Liu Yu looked for the black shadow through the crack in the rock, he was nowhere to be found. Just when he was feeling strange, a disheveled head hung upside down from the rock crevice, startling Liu Yu. The black shadow's eyes glared at Liu Yu like copper bells, and said, "Don't go out, I, I want to come in too!" Liu Yu said helplessly: "Then who, you scared me to death, can you not do this!" The black shadow said: "Okay, then you scare me!" Liu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, he scratched his head and scratched his ears, he couldn't do anything in the face of this madman.

The two talked for a long time, but Liu Yu said it dryly, and the madman didn't understand what he meant after all. The louder Liu Yu spoke, the madman laughed when he heard it. He was very happy in his heart, so he turned a few times in the grass, rolled a few more laps, and then attached himself to the edge of the rock crevice to listen to Liu Yu. Liu Yu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and kept silent, but the madman was still entangled and refused to leave. In the end, he simply used his body to block the rock crevices, preventing Liu Yu from looking out again, and the bees collecting pollination could not enter and exit.

Liu Yu said in his heart: "Hey, not only did I not find anyone to help, but I invited an ancestor, how can this be good!" He took out some honey from the beehive next to him, although the amount was small, but it was enough for him to eat for a day. He put the honey in his palm and said, "Who, if you will give up your body to the edge of the rock, I will give you candy." ”

When the madman heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "There is sugar, I want to eat sugar, eat sugar!" When Liu Yu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the madman finally understood a sentence. He tilted his palm into the crevice, and the honey dripped out of the crevice with his fingertips, and the madman brought his mouth to the edge of the crevice, and his tongue thrust in.
