Chapter 22: Don't Enter the Tiger's Den

Old Dad Ma said it was extremely tragic, while the little carpenter was a little silent.

It is true that after a person dies, he turns into dead objects such as zombies and evil spirits, without consciousness, emotion, no soul left in it, and is also controlled by others... This is nothing to the dead, after all, everything is over.

But for living people, it is very difficult to accept.

After all, you look at your former friends, relatives and lovers, and you turn back and raise your butcher knife at you. It’s really a torment.

The little carpenter couldn't help but think of Cheng Hanlai from the Yucheng Pao Brothers Association. He also got the secret method and became an immortal state. Although his soul was still there and he was free to move, his whole nature had changed. His five senses faded. He vomited like maggots for food that mortals regarded as delicious food, and was extremely greedy for bloody raw meat and rotten meat.

The constant struggle between instinct and reason put Cheng Han in a state of almost collapse.

Now, he saw something similar in this northeastern land, but this one was even more domineering, creating countless living dead...

After listening to the explanation of the Ma family’s father and daughter, the little carpenter sighed and said, “Okay, I understand.”

Dad Ma handed the letter back and said, "Two, you and others, if you need to wait and don't dislike it, you will stay here in Yingfutun for a few days and wait for someone to come back. I will ask the fourth girl to pack up a few rooms and stay for you. Or you can go back to the town first, and wait for Master Jingse to come back, I will tell him and then send someone to notify you..."

After finding out the identity of the little carpenter, Mr. Ma was quite polite to them.

The little carpenter thought for a while, then said, "I'll go back first and discuss with the people from the Grand Marshal's Mansion."

He was going back to discuss with Shi Qingsheng. As for Gu Baiguo, he would stay here to help Ma Dad prepare medicine so that his injuries could be relieved at this moment.

Mr. Ma didn't say much about the little carpenter's decision, but just repeatedly said thank you.

After leaving the room and coming to the yard, the little carpenter chatted with Gu Baiguo for a few words, and then Gu Baiguo signaled him to get some of the medicinal materials needed. In the past two months since he headed north, Gu Baiguo stuffed a lot of medicinal materials into the little carpenter's Luban secret seal.

Although there are not many of these things, they are complete enough and all they need.

After the little carpenter took out the herbs, he left Gu Baiguo here and connected with an old woman from the Ma family, while he left with Ma Sigu.

When he went out, he saw thick smoke rolling in the open space, the pile of wood was burning, and the raging flames swallowed up the bodies inside. The families next to him cried so hard that some had even fainted.

As for the shaman wearing bird feathers and wooden mask, he was already jumping and twitching.

When he returned to the gate of the village, the little carpenter called Shi Qingsheng and Uncle Yang to come and explained the current situation clearly to several people.

When he heard the names of Qiao Huhui, Erlonghu and Fengqiao Gang, Uncle Yang couldn't help but take a breath.

The little carpenter asked, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Yang said: "The Fengqiao Gang is in Shandong. I don't know this, but Qiao Huhui and Erlonghu are still quite famous in the area outside the pass. Not only are there many masters, but the leaders are all very famous, and they are also quite chivalrous. The only disadvantage is that they are not very tactful. When the old coach formed a team of masters, he recruited them several times, but they were all rejected..."

The little carpenter talked with Uncle Yang several times along the way and learned that he was from the old coach's expert team. He was seconded by Young Marshal Gong to form an old man.

This person has been monitoring various gangs and lakes in the Northeast for many years and is considered a very familiar person on the ground.

In this case, Qiao Huhui and Erlonghu are quite good.

The little carpenter said, "Dad Ma told me that we can have two choices. One is to settle here temporarily. He asked someone to clean up a few rooms and let us stay. In addition, we can also go back to Fengling Town first. When people come back, they will send someone to notify us..."

Shi Qingsheng said: "This is too far from the town. It's too late to go back and forth, so it's too late to stay here. It's easy to know what happens."

Uncle Yang did not answer the conversation, but asked the little carpenter: "What are your plans?"

The little carpenter said, "I want to take the third path."

When Shi Qingsheng heard this, he browsed and looked at him in surprise, and then said, "Are you going to go to that skateboard valley to take a look?"

The little carpenter nodded and said right.

Shi Qingsheng was speechless and said to him: "When you entered the village just now, Liu Shuai talked to a few people he knew. I listened to it. The person who ran back was frightened. He said that as soon as he entered, all kinds of monsters and evil spirits came out of the thick fog, such as skinned tigers, long-haired snakes, blood bats, etc., and dead people who could run without their heads... Having such things guarded the valley, touching them was simply looking for death..."

After hearing this, the little carpenter did not show any fear on his face, but calmly told him the judgment of Master Jiese and others.

Seeing that he did not listen to the advice, Shi Qingsheng said with a wry smile: "Thirteen, I know you are very powerful, but as the saying goes, 'A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', you can just wait for people to come back in this village. There is really no need to take that risk..."

But the little carpenter said, "What if they can't come back? What if they are trapped?"

Shi Qingsheng said helplessly: "It is still unknown whether Master Jingse can help you cure hidden diseases. In fact, you can't just listen to Wang Baishan's one-sided words..."

The little carpenter said seriously: "Brother Qingsheng, I have decided, please don't persuade me anymore."

Shi Qingsheng saw the little carpenter with a serious look on his face, sighed, and then said, "Since that's the case... Then, I'll go with you."

Uncle Yang next to him interrupted and said, "You are the captain. If you go, what should these people do?"

Shi Qingsheng turned his head and said to Uncle Yang: "On the team, please help me take care of you..."

Uncle Yang smiled and said, "You are the captain appointed by the young marshal himself. Those people only accept the warrants and do not recognize my old face. Let's do this, let me accompany Mr. Gan. First, I have more experience and can deal with it on the spot when encountering things. Second, I am very curious about this matter..."

His volunteering made both the carpenter and Shi Qingsheng a little surprised, but Uncle Yang was very persistent. Shi Qingsheng said a few more words and finally nodded.

Then the little carpenter found Gan Wenfang and talked about his preparation to go into the mountains.

Gan Wenfang is a self-protection-oriented person. As the little carpenter expected, she chose to stay in the village and waited for them to finally return.

The little carpenter thought about it and told Gan Wenfang that he had asked Shi Qingsheng for help. If he couldn't come back, Shi Qingsheng would help him send her back to the northwest at that time so that she would not have to worry too much.

Hearing this, Gan Wenfang solemnly said to the little carpenter: "Take care."

After everything was negotiated, the little carpenter returned to the Ma family mansion with Ma Sigu and talked about his decision with Dad Ma. Dad Ma nodded and said nothing.

However, when I persuaded Gu Baiguo later, I had some trouble.

The little carpenter also repeatedly explained the importance of helping Mr. Ma and others who were also poisoned to suppress evil poisons, and even made Gu Baiguo look stern, which at least made Gu Baiguo give up the idea of ​​going with him.

After everything was finished, the little carpenter went to the place where he was placed, met with everyone, and then briefly communicated with Uncle Yang, and prepared to leave.

At this time, Ma Sigu came over and blocked the two of them.

She then told the two that they didn't know the way, so she came over to help as a guide and took them to the skateboard valley at the foot of Xifeng Mountain.

The little carpenter refused without hesitation: "No."

Ma Dad gave birth to five sons and two daughters. Except for the eldest daughter who got married far away, as well as the third son Ma Laoxi and Ma Sigu, the other children either died early or died at the hands of evil spirits.

If Ma Sigu followed them to the danger this time and had any accidents, Ma Laoxi would not come back, I am afraid that Ma Dad would have no children.

So he didn't agree.

Ma Sigu was annoyed and immediately became arguing with the little carpenter. He first said that the other party looked down on him as a woman, and then told the little carpenter that you two outsiders had no guide and could not even find the way...

She talked a lot, and at this time, someone came out from the side and said, "I'll be the guide."

When Ma Sigu heard this, he looked back and was a little shocked: "Shishou Brother Liu?"

Liu Shuai walked up and said to the little carpenter: "I heard it when you discussed it in the room. I have been here half a year ago. During the search, I have been to Xifeng Mountain and even to the entrance of the skateboard valley, so I came to lead the way, there is no problem..."

The little carpenter and Uncle Yang looked at each other, then said slowly: "Are you sure you want to go?"

Liu Shuai nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go."

Ma Sigu persuaded him, "Brother Liu, it's very dangerous over there now..."

Liu Shuai said sincerely to her: "Second aunt, I heard about the matter that Yingfutun went to the town to discuss with my uncle. But I didn't expect it to be like this, so I'm sorry. I must be obliged to make up for my merits this time. I hope you don't get me wrong about me as a coward..."

Ma Sigu's eyes were red and he said, "How could that be?" I always knew that Brother Liu Shuai, you are a man who stands tall and upright."

After waiting for the two of them to say a few words, the little carpenter nodded and agreed to Liu Shuai.

Ma Sigu has a saying that without a guide, it is difficult for them to find the location of the skateboard valley based on the map and other people's descriptions. Even if they find it, it may take too much time.

So Liu Shuai's joining is indeed a timely help.

After the settlement here, the three of them bid farewell to Yingfutun, and then did not ride horses, but took a walk from behind the village, and then went into the deep mountains and dense forests.
