Chapter 10 Strange Tales of the Mountains
In the next period of time, the villagers saw Lin Yang's busy figure at any time, on Cuiwei Mountain, by the Hongsha River, the young man firmly completed the task assigned by Ah Silly.
On this day, several uncles in the village took a few small stools, set up a wooden table, served a few bowls of wine, sat down under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and began to chat.
"What do you say about Xiaoyang during this time, every morning he gets up and runs to the Hongsha River, runs over and back, eats at noon, and runs to Cuiwei Mountain, at first I thought he was chopping wood, but every time he came down, he carried a basket of stones. ”
"What is this, my house is not far from Xiaoyang's house, I drank too much that night, passing by his door, I heard him roaring in the room, that voice is terrifying!"
"Are you thinking too much, in case the young people are energetic and exercise every day!"
"Hahaha, that's right, speaking of which, Xiaoyang is not too young, when I am so old, the baby is about to be born!"
"Hehe, Xiaoyang seems to have a little bit of that meaning to Ah Silly, let's make a match in the future and do this as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a contribution to the village, isn't it?"
After that, several uncles let out heroic laughter, took two sips of wine, and began to talk about their home affairs again.
At this time, Lin Shu's father drank a bowl of wine and suddenly interjected: "By the way, did you hear about a strange thing yesterday?"
"What's the matter? What strange things can we do in the barren mountains and mountains!" said an uncle indifferently.
"I went to Erzhuang's house to drink last night and heard it by chance, saying that Uncle Ma went to Cuiwei Mountain to collect medicine a few days ago, and he walked for half an hour a few steps! I heard that Uncle Ma was like entering a maze at that time, and he couldn't turn out no matter how he turned, hey, it's not weird!" Lin Shu's father said in a low voice.
"Didn't you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" someone wondered.
"I don't know! Later, I heard that Uncle Ma was tired and exhausted, and finally hit a tree before breaking out, and I also heard that Uncle Ma deliberately looked back after breaking out, and guess what he saw? He actually saw an old woman smiling at him!"
"I said, brother, don't scare people! It's broad daylight!" After hearing this, one of the big men suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he poured a sip of wine fiercely before his body warmed up again.
The other people also felt a little numb when they heard it, didn't they encounter a ghost?
Afterwards, all the uncles silently took a sip of wine, stood up and jumped, and relieved their inner emotions.
"Why don't we go to Uncle Ma's house now and ask? If this thing is true, this Cuiwei Mountain will not be able to go up in the future!" someone worried.
The people of Linjia Village basically rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, if this thing is really a ghost and a ghost, doesn't it cut off the livelihood of the people of Linjia Village?
"It's useless, I heard that Uncle Ma was scared a lot after he came back, and he didn't dare to go up the mountain, and today I followed the village chief to Hongsha Town to buy goods, otherwise there is no way to get sick in the village in the future." Lin Shu's father shook his head, quite worried.
After a while, several people stopped talking, and all of them bowed their heads and drank, silently thinking about the strange talk they had just heard.
Lin Yang carried the stones he had just taken down from the top of Cuiwei Mountain, and ran towards the entrance of the village out of breath.
These days can make him tired, but the effect is still very significant, at first he basically climbed back, and now he is tired, but he can still run.
He also felt that his body was constantly getting stronger, and he was secretly happy.
"Yo uncles, are you drinking here?" Lin Yang greeted a few uncles as he passed by the entrance of the village.
"Xiaoyang, have you just come down from Cuiwei Mountain?" a big man poured a bowl of wine, stood up, and walked towards Lin Yang.
"Yes, what's wrong? The sun is so good today, why don't you go to Cuiwei Mountain for a walk?" Lin Yang took a sip and said with a smile.
Lin Shu's father asked, "Have you encountered anything strange?
"What?" Lin Yang scratched his head, quite puzzled.
"Wait... Wait!
Suddenly, an uncle pointed behind Lin Yang, which was the direction of Cuiwei Pass.
Several other uncles also looked in the direction, and suddenly felt that their hands and feet were cold, and they were trembling and unable to speak.
"What's the matter, uncles, is there anything behind?" Lin Yang turned around and looked, and suddenly froze there.
At the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, a few hundred meters away, there is an old lady standing beside the mountain road, her hands drooping unnaturally, looking at the entrance of the village with a dry smile.
Finally, in the shadow of the trees, the old lady retreated into the forest step by step and disappeared.
"Gollum. A saliva-swallowing sound pulled everyone back from their horror.
"That's... What is that?" Lin Yang's body trembled, and he let out a weak voice.
Seeing this, several uncles told Uncle Ma what happened again, and persuaded: "Xiaoyang, Cuiwei Mountain is not safe during this time, don't go up!"
Lin Yang frowned and didn't speak, the old lady also saw it, I'm afraid I'm a little afraid, but if I don't go up to Cuiwei Mountain, what about the task arranged by Ah Silly?
Seeing that Lin Yang bowed his head and didn't speak, the uncles thought that he had listened, so they stopped talking.
Towards evening, the village chief finally came back with Uncle Ma, and without even returning home, he went straight to the gong in the center of the village and struck it.
Bang Bang Bang!
Whenever there is something important to announce in the village, the village chief will ring this gong and summon all the villagers to come and discuss it.
Hearing the sound of the gong, all the families put down what they were doing, and rushed to the center of the village with the children and the elderly, Lin Yang also came, and Ling Yufei also followed the third aunt here.
Seeing that the people were almost here, the village chief took a sip of water to moisten his throat, looked at the noisy crowd, and shouted: "Quiet! What the old man wants to say next is very important, it is related to your lives, you listen carefully to me!"
"Presumably some people in the village already know something, I repeat it here, now our Cuiwei Mountain has a strange situation, someone encountered a ghost hitting the wall on the mountain, and also met a strange old lady, this old lady is not from our village. After speaking, the village chief gave up his position and let Uncle Ma on the side tell everything that happened that day.
After Uncle Ma finished speaking, the villagers were terrified, and some children were directly scared and cried on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, several big men also came out and told everyone what happened at the entrance of the village today, and the villagers believed that Cuiwei Mountain could not be gone now.
"In addition, there is another thing, I heard about it with Lao Ma in Hongsha Town today. Ten days ago, the fishermen of Hongsha Town went to the Hongsha River to fish, and suddenly the river was monstrous, and the momentum was terrifying, and several fishermen were killed, and only one escaped back, and now they are also crazy, talking nonsense all day long, saying that they have seen monsters. In short, it has not been peaceful recently, everyone can stay in the village with peace of mind, and arrange people to patrol the village entrance every night in the future, so as to prevent any children from running out of the village without being sensible, so be it!"
After the village chief finished speaking, he said that everyone could dismiss the meeting, and the villagers returned to their homes worried.
When night fell, Lin Yang lay on the bed alone, thinking about what the village chief said today, and also thinking about how to complete the task that Silly had arranged for him.
Thinking about it, he fell asleep.
Knock knock.
A knock on the door woke Lin Yang up, at this time it was completely dark, Lin Yang didn't know what time it was, but it was all at this time, no one would look for him anymore, right?
Thinking of the old lady he met at the entrance of the village today, Lin Yang shuddered.
"It can't be a ghost knocking on the door!"
Lin Yang's scalp was numb, and he picked up a wooden stick tremblingly, cautiously leaned his back against the door, and asked, "Who... Who?"
As a result, after waiting for a long time, the knocking at the door did not stop, but no one responded to him.
Lin Yang's heart was already half cold, and he wanted to shout for help but was afraid of stimulating this old ghost, so he could only secretly cheer himself up and prepare to make a move.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Yang quickly opened the door, holding the wooden stick in both hands, and jumped up to hit the figure at the door.
"Bah! the old monster eats me with a stick!" Lin Yang screamed and waved away with the wooden stick.
"Who do you say is the old youkai?"
Ling Yufei at the door had a kind smile on his face, holding Lin Yang's stick in his hand and directly crushing it.
"Ahh I thought the old lady was here!" Lin Yang reacted and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoyang! what's going on!"
At this time, several patrol uncles who heard the movement rushed over with torches, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Ling Yufei sitting on Lin Yang's bed, while Lin Yang was standing on the side.
"Oh, hahaha, you keep talking!" The uncles left again with a lewd smile of 'I understand', but Lin Yang looked confused, what are you talking about? I'm scared stupid!
"It's alright, you'll see the old lady soon. After those people left, Ling Yufei took Lin Yang's words.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yang was puzzled.
"You go to the mountain now, look for the waterfall we went to before, there is another cave in the waterfall, there should be a spiritual grass in it, bring it down for me, and the remaining half of the tree Juyuan Fruit, bring it down together." ”
"Now, go up the mountain?"
Lin Yang thought that he had misheard, and said to Ling Yushou with a flattering smile: "Silly... No, Sister Ling, don't tease me, don't I go up now to find death!"
"I don't know if others will go up and die, but you will definitely not die, and at this time, there are no wild beasts on the mountain. Ling Yufei didn't care about Lin Yang, standing in front of the window, staring at Cuiwei Mountain.
"How is it possible, the night is the time of the wild beasts, and the old lady... You're so powerful, why don't you go?" Lin Yang asked suspiciously
"If I go, that thing will run away, and I will let you go naturally for my reasons. And if you can't overcome this difficulty, don't cultivate in the future. Ling Yufei said that he was about to walk out of the room.
Seeing this, Lin Yang became anxious and didn't let himself cultivate, how could this work!
"I'll go! you wait for me!" With that, Lin Yang took a firewood knife and ran out.
Ling Yufei also returned to Lin Yang's bed and began to meditate, waiting silently.
