But whether it's true or false, I'm not the person involved, and I can't judge. Instead, Old Ghost Wu was flying up and down, shouting: "It's true, it's true, it's true, there are monsters in this old forest."
My head is full of black lines. There are monsters in this old forest. Why is this old ghost Wu so excited? However, in front of this crowd, I couldn't ask Old Ghost Wu what he knew, so I could only hold it in. I saw Brother Chengxin's appearance, and he was thinking the same thing as me.
As for Lao Zhang, he glanced at Old Gui Wu intentionally or unintentionally, and finally said: "Old Shen, I can understand what you mean, not to mention who Wu boldly met, in short, he was scared to death. It means that the things inside are restless, so some 'sticks' came out to fight for the land, but I always have to go to this deep forest, so I won't go back with you."
"Is this...is this not easy to deal with? Can't we go at another time?" Lao Shen said worriedly, holding the tobacco stick.
"Well, I can't change it." Lao Zhang said dullly.
This honest man can't change his promise even if he spits on it and nails it, even if it's a sword or a sea of fire.
"Old Zhang, I'm not saying anything unlucky. You said you were going to go to this deep forest. What if someone is killed? We mountain people are not afraid of dying in the mountains. To put it bluntly, if you are an educated person, why don't you come out to study? Son, didn't you say that you don't need a graveyard to bury your bones? There is no place in life without green hills! But we are not afraid. It's hard to deal with the girls in this city, right?" Lao Shen persuaded Lao Zhang.
But I applauded Old Shen's words. Is this kind of pride the true nature of a mountain man
Lao Zhang smiled, patted Lao Shen on the shoulder and said: "My heart is open. I told you just now that these young people are very capable people. Do you not believe it or something?"
"Okay, then I won't leave the ink. You can go ahead. We have set a trap in the surrounding woods. If we catch a roe deer or something, don't be polite. Just eat it and leave the skin to hang on the tree. Just go up there. Save your energy and go deep into the forest. When you come back, we two brothers will make two cups."
"Sure!" Lao Zhang agreed directly.
Lao Shen said he didn't want to be verbose, so he really didn't want to be verbose. He said a few words and left with the others.
However, what he said made us feel bored. Lao Zhang looked up at the sky and said: "Let's hurry up and hurry up. We can reach the edge of this mountain tonight, and I think we can reach it tomorrow." We’re going deep into the woods.”
After Lao Zhang said this, we followed him. Because we met Lao Shen and his party, the relaxed atmosphere just now was gone. After all, the road ahead is uncertain and no one has a sure idea, especially me. I understand it so well. If I encounter a monster, it's my job to protect everyone.
Because the atmosphere was already dull, I didn’t ask Mr. Wu anything. It was not the time to ask questions when we were on the road. On the way, Lao Zhang deliberately spared Rao Lu and took a look at the trap Lao Shen and the others had set. It was our fault. Fortunately, there was a trap in it, and it actually caught a roe deer.
Lao Zhang beat the roe deer to death with a wooden stick, dragged the roe deer to a place a mile or two away, and began to take care of the roe deer carefully. I didn't see it clearly, but I saw him scratching the roe deer a few times. With the knife, he pulled, pulled, and stretched, and the skin of the roe deer was peeled off.
We can't learn these skills after all. To paraphrase Lao Zhang, we have to devote most of our lives to the vast forest in order to have this skill. I looked at it for a while, and then I remembered Mr. Wu, so I asked Mr. Wu The ghost waved and asked him to come over.
Wu Laogui was squatting in front of Lao Zhang, watching Lao Zhang take care of the roe deer with great interest. I waved to him, and his face immediately turned into a "bitter melon face", but he immediately made a respectful look. The appearance quickly floated over.
This old ghost is afraid of me!
"Let's camp here tonight, have a meal and drink hot water. It's getting dark now and we can't travel. It's dangerous to drive at night in the old forest." Lao Zhang raised his head and said.
I actually understood that we were going into the deep woods. Lao Zhang felt a little uneasy after all. It would be good to stay in this familiar forest for one more night. Everyone has this kind of ostrich mentality, so why don't we? So, when Lao Zhang said this, the three of us nodded quickly. Brother Chengxin signaled me to ask Mr. Wu what he was talking about, and he went to set up the tent. Ruxue helped, and I stared at Mr. Wu for a long time. His face twitched, and then I said, "Old Wu, do you think we are not being honest with you?"
"How can that be possible? Brother Cheng, you don't want to say that? Isn't this ruining my reputation?" Wu Laogui looked filled with indignation, as if if I kept talking, he would show me his heart. , is it true or not
"But why didn't you tell us at the beginning that there were monsters in this old forest? Only after Old Shen told us did you mention it and say it was true, really?" I asked with a deliberately tigerish face, Then he quickly added: "In short, we are also on your pirate ship. We still have to rush inward. What do you know? Just tell me quickly. If you want to hide anything, we can turn around and leave. Do you believe it?" "
Hearing what I said, Mr. Wu had a sad expression on his face. He looked like he wanted to call himself a big mouth, and scolded himself: "I made you talk too much, and I made you talk mean."
But he couldn't take back what he said and was frightened by me again, so Old Ghost Wu still spoke: "Actually, I haven't seen any monsters in this forest with my own eyes. It's just that Old Shen said this today." His words reminded me of the time I followed that kid into the woods. He led us all the way, but he stopped at several places and disappeared all night long. At first, we didn’t ask , later, after this happened too many times, my eldest brother started to mutter in his mind, after all, the five of us brothers don’t have much ability, how can we not be afraid of spending the night alone in the woods? So I asked. "
"Then what did you say?" I asked, but I vaguely guessed what was going on. This guess made me shocked. But what was going on? What was going on? What Old Ghost Wu said.
"My eldest brother asked, and the kid didn't hide anything. He told us that there are monsters in this old forest, and they are active at night. He went out to negotiate with those monsters, so that they would not harass us, or else If you listen, you will clean it up. You will always be obedient, that's what he said. At that time, we respected him as our master, and admired him in our hearts and mouths. He was so capable, but how could we know that this kid... ." Old ghost Wu gritted his teeth, and then added: "This is all I know. I have never seen a monster. Anyway, he is talking about it. Who knows whether that kid is talking nonsense?"
I didn't answer, but I comforted him a few words, but the old boy seemed heartless. Seeing that I didn't press him, he comforted him a few words, and then happily went to see Lao Zhang to take care of him. The roe deer is gone. Sometimes I really wonder, is this old ghost Wu really worried about revenge
However, what I didn’t tell Mr. Wu was that his cheap master who once harmed him was very likely. It’s not nonsense. That’s what I guessed just now. He went to fight monsters at night, and the purpose was not The purpose of protecting the five old ghosts Wu is probably to prevent these monsters from coveting him when he opens the tomb, and to establish a prestige first.
Calculating it this way, this middle-aged Taoist priest is quite capable. At least I can't really negotiate or fight with monsters. What about the awareness of returning to your hometown? Another day, big slap photo to wake this guy up!
However, when I thought about it, I was secretly surprised. When did I start talking so much in Northeastern dialect
Thinking about it, I felt happy, and I immediately accompanied Brother Chengxin and Ruxue to pack up the tent!
At night, the bonfire was lit, and the roe deer skin was taken away by Lao Zhang and hung back on the tree!
On top of the bonfire, there is a large pot on which Lao Zhang stews roe deer meat. He said that always eating grilled things makes it easy to get angry, but occasionally eating stew does not cause excessive heat and keeps the body warm!
The tent was set up behind us. It was a large tent that could accommodate 3 or 4 people. However, in this forest, we always have to keep vigil at night. It is still the same old rule. Lao Zhang will stay the night before, I will stay the night, and Brother Chengxin will stay the night after. .
This night is as quiet as ever. Except for the occasional screams of unknown things in the old forest, the mood that was ups and downs because of the monsters just now has calmed down. Tonight should be as quiet as the previous nights. Bar
I looked up at the steam coming out of the pot, smelled the fragrance, and thought to myself.
