The mountain is so high that it is very difficult to climb up. Especially when he heard that he was about to reach his destination, the last breath he had been holding in his heart could not help but finally relax.
I could hold on a little longer, but once Xiao Mi and Sun Siyan sat down, they were unwilling to move even half a step. No way, we had to rest in place for a while.
The little gentleman pointed to the mountain that was not too far away from us and said, "This place is very steep, and the physical strength of these little girls has reached the limit. I don't know if I can pick this ginseng doll. I think there are many of you here." Let's rest for a while! If you have enough physical strength, don't waste time, let's go up first!"
Gu Zhen nodded in agreement, panting heavily, unable to utter a word.
I looked at Xiao Mi, she was sitting on the big rock, she didn't want to move at all, so I agreed to Mr. Xiao's proposal.
"Alright, Miss Sun and Junior Sister can stay here to rest! Shisan, you stay too."
I glanced at Thirteen, she paused for a moment and quickly understood what I meant, nodded, "Okay!"
Gu Zhen belongs to Mr. Xiao, I know exactly how capable Xiao Mi is, although I don't know how much capable Sun Siyan is, but I guess it won't be much better than Xiao Mi. She is a member of the department, but not a person with special abilities. She probably belongs to the same group as Uncle Heiying.
Just in case, I have to ask Thirteen to stay and help take care of him.
As for me, with Xiaobai following and Su Muyan behind me, even if Mr. Xiao plays tricks, I can still handle it for a while. At this point, I have to think twice about any decision I make.
Mr. Xiao didn't raise any objection to my arrangement, he was anxious to find the ginseng doll. I didn't delay, I picked up Xiaobai, followed him and Hu Xiaojun to continue climbing to the top of the mountain.
Su Muyan asked in my ear, "Why are you so bold, you went alone?"
I smiled and said in a low voice, "Isn't there still you! Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their benefits cut through gold."
Mr. Xiao suddenly turned around and stared at me, "Think I'm deaf and can't hear? How about checking the time when you're flirting? And you, don't hide, show up if you want!"
After Su Muyan was told by Mr. Xiao, she stopped hiding. Seeing Su Muyan, I immediately put Xiaobai on the ground and took Su Muyan's hand, unable to restrain the yearning and joy in my heart.
Xiaobai stared at me innocently with big watery eyes, extremely wronged. But now that I'm pretty, you can't blame me for being ruthless. This little guy can definitely understand my admiration for Su Muyan. I think that my little thoughts with it should coincide with each other.
Hu Xiaojun coughed softly, "Sir, we are just ahead."
This night hardly rested, if I hadn't played well when I was a child, and I was used to being wild in the countryside, I wouldn't be able to survive now. I rubbed my two almost numb legs and looked at the direction of Hu Xiaojun's fingers. Visually measuring the distance, it was about a few minutes.
Xiaobai had rushed to the front alone a long time ago, and sat on a rock beside him to stop.
"Xiaobai, go see what the ginseng doll looks like!" Xiaobai obediently grunted and ran away.
In recent days, Xiaobai is no different than when I was with me, but now he is more and more obedient, he can understand everything I say, and he will obey some simple instructions I gave him.
It is said that dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings. The IQ of a dog is equivalent to that of a three-year-old human child. I think Xiaobai is much smarter than a dog. In Beijing, it had a very good relationship with a black back raised by Uncle Guo Zi. He will also follow the example of Uncle Guo Zi and command the black back.
I am very satisfied with Xiaobai's receptivity, and I know that he also wants to see the ginseng doll. That's why I let it go first. I didn't expect it to run around the top of the mountain, and then ran back disheveled with its tail between its legs.
It plunged into my arms, as if seeing something terrible.
I laughed at it for everything, but it's just too timid. He would panic at the slightest sign of trouble, and he didn't have the courage of the Monkey King at all. After all, the white ape and the monkey are close relatives, and Xiaobai doesn't know who he looks like.
Hu Xiaojun walked ahead first, Mr. Xiao glanced at Xiaobai and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Probably scared by some little beast!" I rubbed Xiaobai's head and guessed.
Mr. Xiao nodded without asking further questions.
"Xiaobai won't do this for no reason, is there any danger ahead?" Su Muyan worried.
I firmly believed in Su Muyan's words, and I was about to ask Hu Xiaojun to wait, but Mr. Xiao also climbed onto the bare stone at the top.
Through the overlapping branches on both sides, the sun rises from behind the clouds and mist. The sun pierces through a piece of green and sprinkles mottled and sparse bright spots, which also seems to be covered with a layer of fog.
It's not hot at the top of the mountain, but it's not as cold as it is at night. Every time I took a step, Xiaobai would hug me tightly, as if he didn't want me to move on.
"It's not right!" Su Muyan said cautiously.
I watched Mr. Xiao standing on the top of the mountain, bending over to study something, but Hu Xiaojun was nowhere to be seen. Mr. Xiao turned his head and smiled at me, beckoning, "Come up quickly, I found it."
The sun shines on his face, and I can clearly see his excitement and satisfaction.
Su Muyan stopped me, "Do you really want to go up?"
"I can't leave him alone!" I looked at Mr. Xiao and said, this time I am counting on him, if there is any danger, I can't leave him and Hu Xiaojun alone. Now that I feel that there may be some kind of danger, I have prepared in advance, and it will be more convenient to evacuate when the time comes.
I stood in front of the mountain wall and looked down at the mountain. I couldn't see the people at the bottom of the mountain. I had already reached such a height before I knew it, which was a bit scary. I felt around my body and found a section of red rope, then took out a yellow talisman and tied it to the most conspicuous place on the only way up the mountain.
Xiao Mi knows the talisman I drew. If there is danger, this can also remind them not to continue to come up.
After finishing these, I carried Xiaobai and Su Muyan to the summit.
The bottom of the mountain doesn't look particularly steep, but it's only when I come up that I realize this place, and I need to observe carefully for a long time. But there is nothing on it. I don't know where the ginseng doll Mr. Xiao said is. What's strange at this moment is that I didn't even find Mr. Xiao and Hu Xiaojun.
Xiaobai hugged my neck and did not let go, humming and screaming non-stop. Suddenly, a figure attacked from behind me, grabbed my neck, and dragged me several meters away. He was dizzy from the sudden suddenness.
Only then did I realize that Mr. Xiao was standing on the edge of the cliff, reaching for something, as if he had reached a point of ecstasy, and didn't notice me behind him at all.
I grabbed the arm of the person who attacked me and tried my best to throw him over the shoulder, but his strength was much stronger than mine, and in the end I could only slam on his toes.
The man didn't seem to think that I would do this, he groaned in pain, and the strength in his hands weakened, I called out to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai immediately jumped onto the man's shoulder, scratching his face non-stop,
Su Muyan pulled me to hide aside, only then did I see that the person in front of me was actually Hu Xiaojun.
I touched my sore neck from his pinching, and said in displeasure, "What are you crazy about? I won't snatch your ginseng dolls. As for such a black hand!"
Hu Xiaojun wanted to catch Xiaobai, but Xiaobai was too nimble, he bounced around his shoulder twice before slipping back to me. Hu Xiaojun stared at me with anger in his eyes, as if he didn't know me at all.
"There is something wrong with Xiaojin, this person seems to be different from before."
I noticed it too, and I immediately became vigilant, "It's not right, Mr. Xiao doesn't seem to know we're here at all. Yan'er, look at what Mr. Xiao is doing."
Su Muyan nodded, "Be careful yourself!"
I slipped my hand into my pocket quietly, and I still have some ways to deal with ghosts, but to deal with people, except for the little self-defense skills taught by Guo Zishu, I am really not sure that I can fight against Hu Xiaojun in front of me.
I was restrained by him just now, and I didn't feel any evil spirit in him. Could it be something unclean? Could it be that some external factor changed this person
Sweat dripped from my forehead, and I was vigilant, worried that someone else would take advantage of it.
Hu Xiaojun twisted his neck, made a few crisp sounds, pinched his hands back and forth a few times, one step at a time, and then ran towards me. I can't fight, but I can still run.
Dodging Hu Xiaojun's punch, I ran away immediately.
Su Muyan yelled at me, "It's not ginseng baby, it's belladonna, Mr. Xiao has lost his mind! Hu Xiaojun must have been poisoned by this thing too. Xiaojin, go!"
My head buzzed, this thing is still fresh in my memory, but why is this thing in Changbai Mountain? I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran down the mountain with Xiaobai in my arms, but was stopped by someone.
There was Hu Xiaojun in the back, and I had nowhere to go.
The person in front of me stared at me with great interest, and looked at me carefully, "Oh, isn't this Zhuang Jin! Hahaha, we are really destined! I didn't expect to meet again here. By the way, I let you think about it." What do you think about the matter? Do you want to join us?" Chen Maosheng laughed.
And standing beside him was Gu Yueman.
The premonition in my heart is not very good. I am afraid that the purpose of their coming here is also Qi Lu, and it is not only Qi Lu.
"Gu Yueman, Master Gu said that as long as you are willing to go back, he is willing to bear the consequences with you." Compared with the two, I chose to try to persuade Gu Yueman, but the result was obviously useless.
Gu Yueman sneered coldly, and gave me a disdainful look, "I've had enough of that place, and now I know why people live in this world! It's to fulfill the wish in their hearts! Do you have a wish? Gu Yueman glanced sideways at Su Muyan, "I almost forgot, you also have shady wishes!"
I was very disgusted by her words, and secretly clenched my fists.
"Tsk tsk, I'm starting to protect my own woman now, ha ha! Miss Gu, it seems that you have poked someone's sore spot. Look, you have the intention to kill you!" Chen Maosheng provocatively said.
"Only by her? Hmph!"
At some point, Su Muyan had already stood behind me, and the smile on Chen Maosheng's face became even more rampant.
"It's different after the dark marriage! Miss Gu, I'll leave this female ghost to you! Zhuang Jin is restrained by Hu Xiaojun. As for me, I'll just go and see that little gentleman, ha ha!"
