After two days of rest at Baldy’s house, we entered the underground forest again.
It's just that last time it was with Captain Xiao's consent, so this time it can only be done secretly.
Baldy didn't know why we went in. He just thought we were looking for that mysterious race. He insisted on following us, but Zhao Dashun refused to let us go.
"Seven pounds, please wipe my back, I can't reach it."
I squeezed the anti-mosquito ointment onto my hand and helped Li Ning and Zhao Dashun apply it evenly. I wonder if it was the snake gall that played a role, but the skin on Zhao Dashun's back became smoother.
"Brothers, this time when we go in, don't call each other's names in the forest!"
The reason why Li Ning was impersonated by a demon last time was because we committed a taboo, which is to never call each other by his or her real name in the deep mountains and forests.
There are a lot of mountain spirits and ghosts in the woods. If a kid hears it, he will pretend to be the person whose name you called and trick others into using him as a substitute!
You can call me nicknames, but don't call me Lao Zhao or Lao Li.
So before entering the underground forest again, the three of us had a heated argument about giving each other nicknames.
"Brother, listen to me. If you are good-looking, you will be called Damei. Even the kid will think you are a woman, but when you look at it, hey, why are you a man? Hahahahaha!"
Li Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Brother, please listen to me, just call me Lao Deng..."
These two people are both good at asking for names. I didn't want to participate, but they both decided to call me Huang Gou'er. I had to put aside my personal qualities!
In the end, the bald guy who sent us here suggested that the three of us just call each other Menchahu, Menn nosehu, and Broomstick.
The three of us avoided other tourists like thieves. Liu Longfeng took us to the village where we were yesterday. When we got there, the houses were empty.
Pushing open the wooden house, you can still smell the smell of rotting bones. No, how could they move so many bones so fast?
"Let's go see that tree!"
After finding the big tree where I hid yesterday, Li Ning rushed to rummage through the grass under the tree. I told him about the snake gallbladder. He also had a good impression of Zhao Dashun and naturally hoped to dig up more rare treasures to extend his life.
"Nothing!"
After rummaging around for a long time, I didn’t even see a single long grass. The rumors couldn’t be trusted!
Just as we were about to leave, there were slight footsteps behind us. When we turned around, there was nothing.
I spread my legs, bent over and looked back from my crotch.
"ah-"
"What's going on? Qi... a broomstick!"
Li Ning was about to call my name in a hurry, but luckily he responded in time.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
The childish voice was still eerie, and the little doll I saw also put away its blinders. appear before us.
The little doll is less than half a meter tall, wearing a red bellyband, with a bare buttocks, a bunch of hair tied with a red rope on his head, and his mouth is red, and his mouth is much redder than normal!
The most disturbing thing is his old face!
"Thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Legend has it that a thousand-year-old ginseng will turn into a child and run around in the mountains.
The child in front of me is definitely not a normal person, but it is definitely not a thousand-year-old ginseng!
The book records that hundreds of years ago, ginseng diggers who ran into the mountains built a ginseng doll temple using the bodies of children who died young in order to worship the mountain gods.
And each ginseng doll's small temple has a copper coin hanging on it. The little thing in front of you has a copper coin hanging on its bellyband!
"Don't look at him, this thing is evil!"
As soon as Zhao Dashun finished speaking, he opened his huge mouth and swallowed the little baby. After a moment, he spat out a copper coin.
"Liu Longfeng! Why did you eat it, you two-armed man?"
Huang Tianqi flew into a rage, and we were all surprised that he had such a big reaction, but this Liu Longfeng is real, you should give Mr. Huang a bite.
"If it's not enough to fit between your teeth, I'll give it to you next time!"
"Eat your sister! Can you fucking eat this thing at will? Huh? Have you ever seen a single ginseng baby in any mountain?"
"I don't have a sister! I'm just a stupid brother who doesn't want to wait for the immortal land of Changbai Mountain. He insists on being a guardian immortal for others, and he puts a hundred years of cultivation into a small life."
Huang Tianqi’s words reminded me of the second half of the book’s account of the Ginseng Doll Temple. Generally, at least a hundred or so child corpses were used to build such a temple!
"Damn it! You're in trouble!"
etc! Why does the brother with the shell on his head feel so familiar to me?
"Uncle! Are you Mr. Liu's eldest brother?"
Li Ning reacted faster than me. He hugged Liu Longfeng's big snake head and slapped it against it.
But according to the age of these old immortals, is it inappropriate for you to call Liu Longyun "Master" and then call Liu Longfeng "Uncle"? He has to be the uncle no matter what (second tone).
Liu Longfeng threw away Li Ning in disgust. Li Ning had never seen Liu Longfeng transform into a human being, otherwise he would be even more shocked!
But right now, we are afraid that we will offend these ginseng dolls in the mountains!
Liu Longfeng didn't take it seriously. Although it was the first time he encountered this thing, he was used to being domineering in this forest, and he would take off another hundred little dolls without fail.
Huang Tianqi looked at his cynical look and was so angry that he asked me to remind Li Ning to stay away from Liu Longfeng to avoid being implicated when he was struck by lightning.
"Hey - why is there someone here? Did you see a little baby running over?"
A man and a woman ran over. They were panting from exhaustion while carrying hiking bags. It looked like they were tourists.
