"You brat, let me see, you have the recovery ability of a wild boar." As he spoke, Brother Chengxin deliberately patted my back. It hurt so much that I grinned, glared at him, and said, "What?

You call it the recovery ability of a wild boar? Can you please make it clear? Can you find a better metaphor?"

"Sorry, I can't do this." Brother Chengxin looked at me sincerely, which made my teeth itch and I wanted to slap him right away. Everyone was laughing, including Tao Bo, who had always been shy.

, also lowered his head and smiled.

I don’t know how to describe the heartlessness of this group of us. The timely return of Brother Chengxin and Xiao Chengqian means that we are about to leave for the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Do they really not care?

In fact, during these relatively peaceful days, my heart was not necessarily peaceful. I always had a premonition that a storm was about to come, and I had an indescribable heavy feeling that made me feel overwhelmed.

It felt like it was about to explode, but I still couldn't say it out loud, just so that everyone wouldn't worry.

But is this okay? Brother Chengxin was changing my dressing. A certain kind of medicinal powder he brought had a special effect when applied to the wound. The cooling and numbing sensation was particularly obvious. He was joking with me, saying

This is the real version of Yunnan Baiyao, the most powerful 'golden sore medicine' in the legend, but I frowned and kept thinking about it.

I felt that something happened this time, and I would not be responsible if I hid it from everyone. I was thinking impulsively, if I go alone in the most dangerous place, will I be accused of being an activist again?

The sky outside the window is a little hazy. Although it is hot this season, there is always a lot of rain. Does this weather also mean that our operation will not go smoothly this time? I admit that my thoughts are a little confused at this time.

In the afternoon, we checked out of the room and finally set off for Lake of the Ten Thousand Ghosts. Lu Shan got a van from somewhere, which made our trip easier.

In the car, Brother Chengxin handed me a bottle of medicinal powder. He said it was too late to prepare it into pills, and the effect of the powder was the same. He asked me to swallow a small spoonful of it with warm water every day.

He didn't say anything about the efficacy of the medicinal powder. When I opened the cork, I smelled a strong ginseng smell. There wasn't much medicinal powder. Such a small porcelain bottle only filled half of the bottle. It seemed like I couldn't take it a few times.

"With this weight, I can already laugh. I don't feel very good about this trip myself. I hope this powder can help you, and it will also help us." Brother Chengxin looked out the window, seemingly unintentionally.

He said it, but I can understand his mood.

Without saying anything else, I poured out some medicinal powder silently and cherished it, and swallowed it with the warm water in the cup I brought with me. At that moment, I did not exaggerate my feelings. I just felt it the moment the medicinal powder entered my stomach.

The feeling of nourishment for the soul, and this feeling is endless.

I almost moaned from the comfort, but inside I admired it very much. As long as there are suitable medicinal materials, the medical pulse can always be so extraordinary.

Originally, that small county town was close to Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. According to our original plan, this trip should have ended in a small village near Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts. It was a small village close to the lake. Most of the villagers were

Some fishermen who depended on the lake for food have changed now. We are going to another place.

And that place is a place close to the real "haunted place" of the Lake of Demons. It is very remote and there are no villages around it. There is only a small village four or five miles away. I heard that it is somewhat closed.

After all, the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts occupies a large area. Some places are more prosperous, but some places are more remote.

"This choice is helpless. Judging from the current situation, we should not stay in the lake for too long. It is safer on land. Therefore, we chose the place closest to that place." Lushan's stall

I opened the map and explained it to Chengyuan, because Chengyuan didn't quite understand why we chose the most dangerous place.

But I understand what Lu Shan means. If there is any secret hidden in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it should also be in that 'haunted' place. If we stay in that small fishing village as originally planned, then we can rent a boat and row to that place ourselves.

I'm afraid we will have to stay on the water for a long time. According to Lu Shan, it is actually quite dangerous for us whether we are on the water or above the water, at least it is not good for casting spells! Choose a place close to us, at least we don't have to be on the water.

Even if you stay for a long time, you can return to land in time.

Due to the change in itinerary and the fact that some roads were not easy to walk, it was already late at night when we arrived at our destination.

This is the small village closest to that place. When we arrived in the middle of the night, the village was already quiet, except for the continuous chirping of insects and the occasional barking of a dog.

I got out of the car, stretched out, and looked up at the sky. The stars here were twinkling. This was a scenery I hadn’t seen in a city for a long time. It reminded me of my childhood.

At that time, I saw the bright starry sky in Zhulin Xiaozhu and the village where I lived.

How nostalgic!

I felt a little emotional in my heart. It was the sound of our car that broke the quiet rural night here. I sensitively noticed that due to our arrival, several houses at the entrance of the village had already turned on their lights.

"Go and ask over there. Such a large group of people cannot sleep in the open air. Let's see if there are any villagers' homes that we can use." The person who spoke was Xiao Chengqian. The boy looked tired. He seemed to be anxious and wanted to find a place.

I took a good bath in hot water and had a good sleep. After all, I just came back with Brother Chengxin and hurriedly came here again.

"That's right, let's go and ask. If it doesn't work, let's live in two places. By the way, the fog in this village is really heavy at night." Brother Chengxin is also making arrangements.

Hui Gen'er, this kid, wanted to live with me and Ru Yue no matter what. The memory of his childhood is indelible. At that time, I was his brother and Ru Yue was his sister. At that time, we were still in a deserted village.

.

The passage of time always makes people sigh.

We were lucky. The first family we met was willing to take us in, and the room was enough. There were two huge bedrooms, which solved our needs, because the situation of this family was a bit special, with an old woman taking care of us.

A child lives here. The child's parents work in other cities, while the child studies far away and only comes back once a month.

The old woman was a kind and taciturn old man. Seeing that we were tired from the journey, after agreeing to take us in, she hurried to boil a large pot of hot water for us. Xiao Chengqian followed the old man to the kitchen and forced him to give us a thousand yuan.

The money frightened the old man. She said that she had never taken so much money in her life, and she felt uneasy holding it. She blushed and retreated, but she couldn't defeat Xiao Chengqian.

Chengyuan is extremely capable because he has taken care of Brother Yuan Yi all year round, and Chengzhen is also very capable because he has lived a wandering life with Uncle Wang for many years.

While Xiao Chengqian and the old man were pushing back and forth about money, they had already rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen. They said they wanted to buy some rice, noodles, vegetables and meat from the old man and make a meal for themselves, but the old man shouted at them.

He repeatedly refused: "I've given you a lot of money, but if I give you more, I won't take you in."

This makes me sigh that there are not many such simple people left in the countryside today.

Chengzhen and Chengyuan were busy, and we grown men and Ruyue (representative of those who couldn’t work) were resting in the room, chatting casually with the old man. Brother Chengqing accidentally said: "Auntie, what are you doing here?"

It’s a bit cold at night, with this heavy fog.”

The old man said: "Yes, it is very foggy at night, so don't walk around at night. This is the characteristic of our village, which outsiders don't know. Our villages are close to the lake. Over the years, I have heard that those places come to visit the lake.

There are a lot of people there, and many villages are rich, but our village is not so good. Firstly, it is remote, and secondly."

We looked at each other in confusion. According to the existence of the outer protection formation, there should be no problem in the village here. Could it be that this place is also affected?

"What's the second thing?" Xiao Chengqian was impatient and couldn't help but ask.

There was a little hesitation on the old man's face, and then he said: "It's nothing, it's just that we rural people have many taboo rules, and here there are special rules and so on. Are you here to travel?"

The old man changed the topic calmly, which made us stunned again. Brother Chengxin responded quickly and said: "Yes, we are just here to travel. We don't like to go to crowded places. We thought this is

Isn’t it the most peaceful one?”

The old man shook his head and said: "This is not a good place for tourism. I heard that there is a special place for tourism and sightseeing. Just like I have traveled far before, and I have been to Mount Emei, there are not mountains and plains there.

Those who walk randomly must always follow the road. Don't be greedy for anything new, just stay one night and then leave. Why are you traveling to this lake?"
