There have been many strange things in the mountains since ancient times, so Hu was very careful when entering the mountains alone.
The first few days were really uneventful. Although I didn't find the legendary century-old ginseng king, I found a lot of other medicinal materials, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.
The most precious one is a "corpse ginseng" that is more than twenty years old.
Although corpse ginseng also has the word ginseng, it is not a relative of the little fascist family, but a fungus that grows on coffins.
If the fungi are less than five years old, the caps are not formed and look like a ball. The caps are not yet opened and the colors range from gray to red and black.
The mushrooms, which are about five to twenty years old, take shape and come in various colors such as gray, red, and black.
For those that are more than twenty years old, the mushrooms are relatively hard, and some are as hard as wood. The color is darker, almost the same color as black and charcoal.
Although "corpse ginseng" is so filthy, it is good at curing Sha diseases: five pounds and seven injuries, once this thing is decoctioned and taken, it will immediately cause sudden onset.
Its preciousness is evident.
When Hu Er discovered the corpse ginseng, there was also a wooden sign standing next to it.
There was a line of words engraved on the card crookedly, as if it had been dug out with fingernails.
"I give birth to my food, and whoever touches me dies."
The font is dark brown, resembling dried blood.
Hu Er, who had always been cautious, was not afraid when he saw this, but was relieved.
Because scaring fellow travelers is a common method used by many "mountainers", as you can see now.
When they encounter medicinal materials that are not old enough and cannot bear to pick them, and cannot keep them around all the time, they deliberately leave some scaring traces to scare away their colleagues.
When it is estimated that the time is almost up, I will collect the medicine myself.
This is also the reason why every time a magical medicine is released, it is accompanied by many strange legends...
After Hu Er carefully picked the whole corpse ginseng plant, he smiled and kicked down the "signature" erected by his "fellow".
But to be careful, he quickly moved away from the place.
If by chance a colleague arrives, some reasoning is inevitable.
In this deep mountain and old forest, even if the other party kills himself, no one will know!
He didn't notice that when he turned to leave, a vague figure slowly "floated" out of the coffin, waving at him...
That night something strange happened:
Hu Er, who was sleeping by the campfire, felt increasingly cold.
After waking up from the cold, I found that even though the bonfire was blazing, my eyebrows were covered with ice crystals.
"This damn weather..."
While complaining, Hu Er picked up the shotgun and walked far away to relieve himself.
Experienced mountaineers all know that they cannot relieve themselves near their campsite.
Firstly, it is unhygienic, and secondly, the smell will attract large beasts.
After walking a hundred meters away, Hu Er suddenly found an unusually tall figure standing not far in front of him.
Preliminary estimate is that it is more than two meters high.
Wearing white clothes and robes, the air is very cold.
Hu Er suddenly became alert, and the hazy sleepiness was immediately swept away.
He raised his shotgun and aimed at the opponent, shouting questions.
"My friend in front of you, who are you? Can you just say a word?!"
"We are just poor people who go to the mountains to beg for food. If I have offended unintentionally, I can apologize!"
"If you were traveling with me and pretended to be a ghost to scare me, then don't blame me for shooting!!"
As soon as Hu Er finished speaking, the figure in front immediately burst into cold, hollow laughter.
As the laughter rang out, he slowly floated backwards.
Hu Er's hair stood up when he saw this:
He realized that the "thing" in front of him was definitely not a deliberate attempt by his peers to scare him, but something real and dirty!
Laoshanke is definitely brave enough, but if you are not brave enough, you will not be able to eat "this bowl of rice".
Without saying a word, he raised the gun and released it.
Amidst the loud bang, the tall figure only shook slightly, and then slowly turned around.
When Hu Er saw his appearance clearly, he was even more frightened:
Because the other party has no facial features, all he has is a big pale face!
“It’s bad, I’m being shameless (Note 1)!!”
Hu Er turned around and wanted to run, but found that he couldn't move at all, as if every joint was rusted to death.
Not to mention moving, he couldn't even call for help.
At the critical moment when "Shameless" stretched out his pale hand and grabbed Hu Er's neck little by little, a rag suddenly fell from the sky and blocked the man and the ghost.
"Shameless" was stunned when he saw the rag, and then screamed in anger.
"Rag" didn't give in, but instead wrapped around Shameless.
One ghost and one cloth struggled together in such a weird way.
After a long time, Rag Bu was no longer a shameless opponent and was torn to pieces.
The phantom of a little hedgehog was pulled out of the rags by Shameless, and was held in the air by grabbing its neck with one hand.
The little hedgehog struggled desperately to no avail, and looked at Hu Er with tears in his eyes.
At this time, a childish voice sounded in Hu Er's ear: "I'm sorry, I can't protect you... Run!"
After the sound ended, Hu Er was surprised to find that he could move.
The old mountain guest knew that the little hedgehog in front of him had saved him, so without saying a word he picked up the shotgun and hit the shameless head.
But with just a wave of his hand, Hu Er felt dizzy.
Then he fell to the ground with a thud and passed out.
Before completely losing consciousness, he vaguely saw the little hedgehog breaking away from the shameless claws and fighting with it again...
Note 1, it’s shameless to recruit:
A saying spread in the northern land refers to a special kind of evil ghost.
People walking at night are easy to encounter. They are tall and shameless.
