"Then, those are the evil spirits of hell, they came out of the underworld!"
Liu Han, who was reminiscing, was sweating profusely, his hands were shaking, and he wanted to grab the wine bottle on the table again.
"Uncle Liu, calm down!"
I grabbed the wine bottle and said, "Qingshan, hurry up, pour some tea for Uncle Liu."
"well!"
Liu Qingshan hurriedly poured a large bowl of tea.
Liu Han took it and drank it all in one gulp, then asked Liu Qingshan to pour another bowl, and drank half of it before he calmed down.
"That ghost came out of the river. I will never forget it in my life."
Liu Han's face was pale, and he leaned on the chair and gasped helplessly.
"I can see clearly that those are not human beings at all. They are all wearing clothes from the past. They have no flesh and blood and are completely skeletons.
"And each ghost has several hands. They grabbed those students and dragged them into the river of blood..."
The three of us listened quietly to Liu Han's story. From his tone, we could feel the horrific scene at that time.
Liu Han continued.
"Professor Luo was crying and shouting, as if he was crazy and wanted to rush forward, but the guard and I dragged him back. We didn't dare to ask for anything, so we jumped on the raft and ran away."
"It's really a ghost. It's so scary."
Liu Han kept tinkering with these words.
"Uncle Liu, calm down, it's all over!"
I poured Liu Han another cup of tea.
After a while, Liu Han's breathing slowly became steady.
"Uncle Liu, according to what you said, those people were all dragged into the Blood River Hell by ghosts.
Du Jun asked.
"Yes, those are the evil ghosts from hell. They captured them. Fortunately, those ghosts can't leave the vicinity of the Blood River, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape.
Liu Han held the tea cup and continued.
“We rowed the raft out of the valley, not daring to stop for a moment, until all three of us were so tired that we could no longer paddle.
"At that time, we had nothing but two guns. If I hadn't made marks along the way and knew some survival skills in the mountains, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back at all."
"You can guess what happens next."
Liu Han slumped on the chair.
"Although the man escaped, the three of us did not get any better.
“At first, I relied on the blood to return safely, but within a few days, all the sequelae occurred.
"When I close my eyes, those ghosts are there, grabbing those students and dragging them to hell... Hey, I have nightmares day and night. If it weren't for the alcohol anesthesia, I should have been admitted to a mental hospital a long time ago."
"I heard that Professor Luo and the others were not much better: the guard went crazy. Professor Luo stayed in the hospital for more than half a year. I don't know what happened to him afterwards."
"Are you going to go into the mountains to find a ghost town this time?"
Liu Han reluctantly smiled at us.
"Of course, Uncle Liu, although that place is quite evil, our brothers are not vegetarians either!"
Before I could say anything, Du Jun puffed up his chest.
"Uncle Liu, the two of us have experienced a lot of evil things like this, as well as things like monsters and ghosts.
"Let me tell you this! No matter how powerful the thing is, if he meets the two of us, he will let him go."
Du Jun took out the sheep's tooth amulet around his neck.
"Look at this, this is the trophy left by killing a strange sheep when we were in middle school. I'm not bragging, that sheep is more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
"There are also snake demons and centipedes, including what happened in our village two days ago. We also killed a zombie. If you don't believe me, ask Qingshan. He also knows."
Du Jun revealed all our glorious deeds in succession.
Liu Han's eyes regained their vitality, he nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Qingshan told me, but I forgot about this!"
"Okay, I like young people like you who are ambitious and daring to fight. Let's make an agreement. I will be your guide when we go into the mountains in the future.
"However, my old bones have been idle for a long time. If I want to really go mountain climbing, I must be fully prepared."
Liu Han turned to look at his son.
"Qingshan, I will practice with you starting tomorrow. Dad will teach you how to do it."
The more Liu Han talked, the more enthusiastic he became. Du Jun and I were also very happy. In any case, we completely tied Liu Han to our side, so that half of the treasure hunting in the mountains was completed.
During the following period, we officially entered the role of young people going to the countryside.
I go to the mountains every day to collect medicines, make pills, treat villagers, and regularly go to the town to receive medicines and hold meetings...
Liang Li and the others, including these ladies, became farmers with their backs to the sky and their backs to the earth.
Every day I go to work in the fields as soon as the rooster crows, and I don’t come back until after five o’clock in the evening. It’s already dark when the farming season is busy.
These people were so tired that they didn't even have the energy to curse. After eating, they fell asleep like dead pigs.
Only Lan Yue and Du Jun escaped.
Lan Yue was lucky because a teacher in Murakami was seriously injured in a car accident. I can't go to work for a long time.
Lan Yue's grades in school were outstanding, so she was designated as a temporary substitute teacher.
As for Du Jun, he would find a way at any time. He worked in the fields for seven days, and then used tobacco and alcohol to open up all the connections. He was given the title of external clerk in the village department.
At the beginning, Du Jun had no sense of presence, and he just beat up some village cadres.
But Du Jun was unwilling to be lonely. It didn't take long for him to organize all those selling herbs, furs, and local specialties in the village.
Take stock of the goods by category, sort them into three, six or nine, and then set a rigid unified price.
Then with his sharp tongue, he deceived the small traders who came to buy into big-headed flies.
The sales volume of the same quantity of goods was actually more than three levels higher than in previous years, which made the villagers fall into admiration.
Du Ershen's reputation once surpassed mine.
Even Wang Man was taken care of and given a light job so that she could have enough time to spend time with Du Jun.
It's a pity that Xiaolian can't see me every day. She has gone back to school and found an old doctor to learn basic knowledge in her spare time.
Zhao Zhiguo and Aunt Gu have long discussed that after Xiaolian graduates, let her learn Chinese medicine from me, and in the future the couple will open a Chinese medicine store or clinic.
I naturally wanted this kind of arrangement, and Xiaolian had no intention of taking the college entrance examination. She just wanted to be with me as soon as possible.
However, a small episode occurred during this period.
After my parents received the letter and found out that I had found a partner in the countryside, they were furious.
After finally passing the exam and moving to the city, your family expects you to come back to work and eat public food?
It would be a good idea for you kid to find a wife in the corner of the chicken foot.
Let’s not talk about delaying your return to the city? Even if you are really married, how ridiculous would it be for you to marry a daughter-in-law from the countryside?
And the burden is also heavy. You are not allowed to pull any of the seven aunts and eight aunts’ rural relatives, even if they have three heads and six arms, they will be hollowed out.
So when my dad brought this up during a party back in his hometown, all the relatives exploded. Only my aunt Yiyi Dao said a word for me.
