Seeing Lao Wu like this, I already felt that this matter was not simple.
"Um……"
I didn't hide anything and told everything about yesterday when the little old man showed up and sold ginseng until evening.
Old Wu frowned deeply: "That was not a dream, and those people were not human beings, they were ginseng ghosts!"
He continued: "The mountaineers have their own rules. Failure to follow the rules will lead to death. Once they die, they will be lost in the mountains and forests forever with deep resentment, wandering around some big sticks, and become
Ginseng ghost."
After a pause, he stared at me closely: "As for blood ginseng, it uses the flesh and blood of dead people as nourishment. It is an extremely yin thing. It absorbs too much resentment and death, and it will breed in the body in about fifty years.
Ginseng ghost!"
"Once you are entangled by these ginseng ghosts, your yang energy will be exhausted within a month at most, and you will die completely!"
"Those spots on your face are the best proof. They will dissipate on their own in a few hours, and then form a mark on the back of your neck, turning from red to black. The moment it turns completely black, it will be your death!"
Hearing what Lao Wu said, I was so frightened that I sat down on the sofa, my heart beating wildly.
"How do you know so clearly?"
I looked at Lao Wu, my eyes full of despair.
Old Wu let out a long sigh: "Do you still remember your grandfather and your father?"
My eyes widened: "Could it be?!"
My grandfather and my father died under mysterious circumstances. From death to burial, it was all handled by Old Wu. We never even saw the corpses.
He nodded: "I didn't let you see it in the first place because I was afraid that the blood ginseng ghost would haunt the Li family. Who would have thought that what was coming would be impossible to escape!"
My eyes were red: "Why on earth is this!!"
Old Wu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "Because your grandfather has offended others..."
Hearing him say this, I suddenly thought of the old man who sold me blood ginseng.
You bastard, you killed my grandfather and my father, and now you want to kill me!
Damn it, I am trying to make my Li family the last one!!
"Is it the old man from yesterday?"
I stood up with a swish, grabbed the hatchet and walked out the door.
But Lao Wu suddenly kicked me, kicked the hatchet out of my hand, and then slapped me hard!
He glared at me and cursed: "You're looking for someone to take revenge like this. Don't you think you'll die quickly enough? Think about how you can live for more than a month first!"
With this slap, Lao Wu woke me up.
I threw away the hatchet and slumped on the ground, my heart filled with despair.
Seeing me like this, Lao Wu took a puff of his cigarette and sighed: "I have been looking for a solution over the years, but it's a pity that the old man and my eldest brother failed to catch up."
He patted my shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't die for the time being!"
"Go back and have a good sleep, and follow me into the mountains tomorrow!"
After throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stamping it out, Lao Wu looked at me and said.
"I'm almost dead, are you still in the mood to do some bad things?"
I glanced at Old Wu with dissatisfaction and showed no interest in going into the mountains.
He glared at me: "I think you look like a slut! If you don't want to go see your grandpa and your dad early, just stop talking nonsense!"
Hearing what he said, I suddenly became energetic: "So, Old Wu, you have something to do?"
He glanced at me: "You are the only onion left in the Li family. If you are going to die so early, the old man must not lift up the coffin board and slap me in the face!"
After saying that, he gave me a hard look and left.
After a while, he came back and threw me an old notebook.
"Take a good look. This is your grandfather's hiking diary. Don't embarrass the old Li family when you go out!"
I was stunned for two seconds, until Lao Wu's figure disappeared from sight, and then I looked at the notebook in my hand.
After flipping through a few pages, I threw the notebook aside.
It’s said to be a hiking diary, and it must be written about the bad things that happened during my grandfather’s years in the mountains.
It's so urgent now that I'm not in the mood to watch it.
Of course, what I didn’t know was that the contents of my grandfather’s notebook later saved me time and time again.
It wasn't until dark that Lao Wu returned to the store, bringing along some snacks and a bottle of wine.
Maybe I drank too much, I don't know when I fell asleep.
All I know is that I still woke up from the cold.
This makes me feel a little scared.
I didn't know it was a ginseng ghost last night, so I didn't feel anything.
Now that I know that I am definitely afraid, I have been trying not to sleep.
If Lao Wu hadn't been lying next to me sleeping like a pig, I would have opened the door and run away.
If I want him to know, he will definitely have to call me a coward again.
There is no way, people are afraid of ghosts, this seems to be an eternal law.
I don’t know what time it was, but I couldn’t hold on in the end, and I saw those pale-faced people circling around me again in my dream.
They looked at me with a weird smile on my face. It was as scary as it seemed, and it scared me awake.
I looked at the time, it was exactly six in the morning, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unconsciously, my body was wet with cold sweat.
After I went into the house, changed my clothes, and collected some daily necessities, Old Wu slowly got up.
"Remember, you have to obey me in everything after entering the mountain, otherwise I will still say the same thing!"
Lao Wu looked at me seriously and said: "Kiel will break your bones!"
I nodded heavily, knowing full well the deadly danger hidden in the mountains, so I didn't refute.
After having a simple breakfast, Lao Wu and I packed our bags and walked out of the city.
There is a place outside the county called "Sandaokou".
In the middle of the crossroad, a Trumpchi M8 with a local license plate was parked under a big tree.
Lao Wu yelled at the car: "Where are the people? Where have they all died?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door opened with a swish, and three men got out of the car.
He is not a strong man, but his dark tendons make me ashamed.
"Sister-in-law!"
The three of them shouted in unison, and then hurriedly came over to help Lao Wu get the bag, leaving it to dry aside for me.
Lao Wu didn't seem to want to talk to me. He said "get in the car", opened the door and got in.
That's what I call depression. How could a big living person just be ignored?
"What a waste of time, hurry up and get in the car for me!"
Seeing that I was still standing outside, Lao Wu stuck his head out of the car window and shouted.
I glanced at him, threw my bag into the car and got in.
"drive!"
Lao Wu said to the driver.
"Sister-in-law, why are you interested in bringing melon eggs today? I begged you for a long time and didn't let go."
In the back row, a young boy with a crew cut looked sour in his voice and gave me an unfriendly look.
"I don't have time to bring raw melon and eggs. This is the green onion from my old Li family. It's called Li Hongqi."
As soon as Lao Wu finished speaking, the three of them turned to stare at me.
"Snapped!"
"Let's see if your mother knows how to drive and watch the road!"
The driver was slapped in the face by Old Wu, who stared at him, and turned his head back in disbelief.
"It may be dangerous to enter the mountains this time. Scar, Dayong, and Tiger, all three of you can show me your skills!"
Looking at the people, Old Wu continued: "Hongqi has blood ginseng..."
He looked very serious: "Maybe Madashan!" This chapter has been completed!
