On the way here, the old man told me that I could reach Shennong Mountain only by walking thirty miles. But it turned out that it took two days and two nights to walk thirty miles.
This is more than thirty miles away?
"You still don't believe it? It makes me seem like I like to lie to people?"
Sun Laizi looked around, pointed to a mountain on the side of the road, and said, "Did you see that mountain? That is Peach Blossom Mountain in Huangmiao Village. This mountain is called Peach Blossom Mountain."
"Peach Blossom Mountain?"
I looked up and saw that Peach Blossom Mountain was full of fruit trees.
They are all peach blossom trees.
It is July now, and the peach blossom trees are full of peach fruits. The red peach fruits are as big as fairy peaches.
And the fruity aroma is overflowing, making people greedy just looking at it.
"Master Lame, let's pick peaches and eat them."
After traveling for a day and a night, there is no need to be wary of the corpse king Xi Shi. If she wants to find us, it will undoubtedly be unrealistic to find a needle in a haystack.
As for the rations we brought, I finished them in one meal this morning.
It's noon now, and I'm so hungry that my eyes are black.
There is no way.
My appetite is really good now. It’s like a starving ghost reincarnated. I eat three times more than before.
It is probably because Xi Shi and I exercised too much in the past few days.
As the saying goes, there are no bad plowed fields in this world, only exhausted cows, toiling day and night, and he is also the King of Corpses. No one can resist this.
Even if I could resist it, it would still be very exhausting.
but.
As the amount of food doubled, my belly also got bigger.
Originally, I was hungry for seven yuan.
Now my belly is as round as a pregnant woman who is three months pregnant.
If it continues, I will probably develop a beer belly.
If you don’t eat, you’ll feel hungry. If you eat too much, you’ll get fat.
This is such a suffering.
I touched my round belly and was already as hungry as a frog croaking.
And Sun Laizi took us to Peach Blossom Mountain very quickly.
There are peach trees all over the mountain, and the fruity fragrance is overflowing.
I picked several red and large peaches from the peach tree, and then tasted one first. I found that the peach tasted crisp, sweet and delicious.
And it also has a scent.
This is my first time to eat such delicious peach fruit.
"How is the taste?"
Cripple Sun looked at me with a smile and said, "Did it surprise you?"
"The peaches here are really delicious."
I devoured it.
"Don't just eat for yourself."
Sun Laizi said angrily: "Your wife is watching you eating and her mouth is watering."
Damn it.
Why did I forget my wife?
Turning around to look at Ji Guyue, I saw her looking directly at the peach I was eating, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"I'm sorry, wife."
I said awkwardly: "I just ate by myself and forgot about you."
Then I picked several red and big peaches for Ji Guyue.
Ji Guyue took the peach fruit and took a bite. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked excited.
Then he giggled while eating.
My wife is a very picky eater, and even she likes the peaches here. You can imagine how delicious they are.
"The peach fruits in this Peach Blossom Mountain are all wild."
Sun Laizi was eating peaches and said to me: "I came here twice before but didn't get any. This time we are lucky. In this season, the peaches are just ripe."
I was surprised that it was still a wild peach fruit.
While we were eating, we saw Ji Guyue smacking her lips, nibbling on the peach fruit, and pointing into the peach tree.
I looked up and saw someone standing where my wife was pointing.
The man was hanging from the tree, his legs dangling off the ground.
When I looked carefully, I noticed something strange. The man hanging on the tree had his neck pierced by a peach blossom branch and hung up.
It had been dead for a long time, and the skin and flesh of the body were shriveled and dried into a mummy.
He is still an old man, with gray hair, about the same age as Sun Laizi, wearing a tattered rough leather coat.
The old man died miserably.
Maybe it was Lai Taoguo who had such an accident.
But what I didn't expect was that even though the people had been dead for so long and their bodies were dried in the sun, no villagers found them.
You know, it's only three miles away from Huangmiao Village.
"What are you looking at?"
Sun Laizi asked me.
"You lame man, you can see for yourself."
I pointed.
Sun Laizi looked up and immediately saw the old man whose neck was pierced by a peach tree branch.
All of a sudden.
His eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
He walked over quickly.
I followed with Ji Guyue, and when I came to the corpse, I looked at it for a few times and then asked: "Crippled Master, is this old man from Huangmiao Village?"
"That's right, he is from Huangmiao Village."
Sun Laizi took a breath and said: "His name is Liu Xiazi, and he is still a good friend of mine. When I first came to Shennong Mountain, it was because I met him and took me to their Huangmiao Village that I got to know Huangmiao. Villagers of the village.”
"And the two times I went to the mountains, it was Liu Xiazi who took me there."
When he said this, Sun Laizi was already choked with sobs.
His eyes were filled with old tears.
He did not expect that when he came to Huangmiao Village for the third time, his former friend would have such an accident, and his neck would be pierced by a peach branch.
He was already in his 60s, yet he was still found dead in the wild, dying so miserably.
This made Sun Laizi feel very sad when he thought about it.
"He is highly respected in Huangmiao Village and has good marksmanship. He is an old hunter in Shennong Mountain."
Sun Laizi wiped his old tears and said: "He also told me that when he was young, a tiger came down from Shennong Mountain to eat the children in the village. Then he chased the tiger to Shennong Mountain and killed him. It took a day and a night to hunt it down.”
When the old man talked about Liu Xiazi's past, he couldn't control his emotions, and his eyes were full of sadness.
At this moment, a dark wind blew in Peach Blossom Mountain.
Next second.
Next to Blind Liu's body, a hazy figure suddenly squatted beside him.
And that figure seemed to be the dead soul of Liu Xiazi.
"Blind Liu?"
Looking at Liu Xiazi's dead soul, Sun Xiazi became even more excited. He wiped away his old tears and said, "I didn't expect that such an accident would happen to you. When we meet again, we will be separated by yin and yang."
"Lame Master, can you still see me?"
Liu Xiazi's soul looked at Sun Xiazi with an excited expression and said, "I knew you were a capable person."
"Stop praising me."
Sun Laizi said sadly: "Why are you so careless? Why did you pierce your neck with a branch of a peach tree?"
"When this person is unlucky, he can choke to death even if he drinks water."
Liu Xiazi took a deep breath and said, "But I didn't die in an accident, but I was killed by Huang Taixian in Huangxian Temple."
"Wong Tai Sin?"
When we heard these words, we were all shocked. We did not expect that Liu Xiazi died in Peach Blossom Mountain and was actually killed by a weasel spirit.
"what on earth is it?"
Shocked, Sun Laizi frowned and asked.
