Nan Shi followed the old man with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The humus soil on the ground was too soft, and it had rained again. Judging by the geographical location, it was estimated that the rainwater on both sides had poured down, and the ground was like a swamp. If Nan Shi hadn't been wearing rain boots, he would definitely have run away right now.

It's not that he doesn't want to run away, it's mainly because there is no signal in the mountains, the place is too remote, and he can't get in touch—if he knew it, he would have called Qinglan or Qingying to follow.He could open the ghost path and go back directly, but there is still an old man here, it would be bad if he scared someone.

Nan Shi was aggrieved, but he could only follow along.

The two walked for a while, when Nan Shi suddenly took two quick steps and came under a pine tree, shouting, "Uncle - Uncle, come and see, can this be eaten?"

Nan Shi used a trekking pole to push away the weeds on the fungus, revealing a piece of light brown fungus inside. The fungus grew up to a standard, the pole was white, and the canopy covered with light brown from the center. Dripping, once the weeds are uncovered and the light shines, people can't help but swallow their saliva.

The old man came over and fiddled with the alpenstock, nodded and said, "My son is very lucky! This piece is full of milk fungus, let's pick it, it's just for lunch!"

Nan Shi immediately laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared, the old man picked some grass and put it in Nan Shi's basket, signaling that he could do it.This thing is much more attractive than chicken fir, Nan Shi settled the battle in a short time, he was about to tell the old man to go, but he looked around and found that there was no one there.

He sensed it, and found that the old man was more than ten meters to the east of him, and there was a height difference there, so he didn't see it.

height difference?Did the old man fall down again?

Look at his face today, it's okay, he doesn't look like he's going to be unlucky.

Nan Shi thought about this, but his body took a step ahead, and he ran over to look for someone. Sure enough, the old man was sitting below, holding a bunch of purple-brown fungus in his hand. When he heard some movement behind him, the old man shouted Said: "Don't come here, it will be fine soon."

"Purple beef liver! Delicious!" said the old man, he had already plucked the last few flowers and threw them into the back basket, and then climbed up.

Nan Shi reached out his hand in a timely manner, and let the old man stand still: "Uncle, you didn't even call me, I thought I was lost!"

There was a hint of joy on the old man's face, obviously because he had just gained a lot: "Hey! If you get lost, stay where you are, I will definitely find you!"

Nan Shi was about to answer, when suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Boy, let go quickly! What are you holding?!"

Nan Shi heard the sound and turned his head to look, and saw the old man standing two meters behind him, looking at him with horror on his face: "Quickly let go! Come here! This is not a mandrill!"

Nan Shi looked at the old man he was pulling again, and the joy on his face had turned serious: "Son, don't listen to him, who knows what he is...I'm responsible for bringing you up the mountain, I have to take you down safely—go, let’s go back the same way, and not go down!”

There was an old man standing in front of Nan Shi, and an old man standing behind him. The two were exactly the same in height, shape and face, but the old man behind him looked embarrassed, which fit his appearance after rolling down a high slope.

The old man behind shouted: "Don't listen to him! Come here! I've been looking for you for a long time! Just now we rolled down the slope, how can a normal person be unscathed?!"

The old man in front of him also said: "Let's go, hurry up! Don't talk to him!"

Nan Shi gave the old man in the back a meaningful look, and then grabbed the old man tightly: "It seems that the road ahead is not easy, let's go back!"

Unexpectedly, that embarrassed old man walked up quickly with a limp, and grabbed Nan Shi's sleeve: "Don't go, it's a mandrill! If you go with him, you will die!"

"Put your mother's shit on!" The old man cursed, "Let go of your paws!"

"You just let me loose your claws!" The embarrassed old man also cursed.

The two actually quarreled. Nan Shi looked at the embarrassed old man thoughtfully, turned around and grabbed him: "Go, I'll go with you."

The embarrassed old man was overjoyed, and grabbed Nan Shi's arm with his back hand and led him into the woods. Another old man hurriedly chased after him, but saw Nan Shi turned his head and made a silent gesture to him.

Hush

The old man looked at the backs of the two leaving, and stomped his feet heavily.

***

In fact, Nanshi didn't walk very far with the people, it was only 200 meters, but the forest was dense, which made it seem as if they had walked a long way. It shined on the two of them.

The path is very narrow, one side is an upward dirt slope, and the other side is close to a 75-degree angle downward, which is very steep.

The old man in a state of distress stopped in his tracks. He held onto the tree trunk and panted, "I almost lost it! I was really scared to death... Let's rest here for a while, I just sprained my ankle when I fell down."

"It's not a big deal, don't panic." Nan Shi stood aside and stretched facing the sun. He was indeed tired. The rain boots were covered with mud and they were heavy when he walked. He stomped hard Stamping his feet, trying to shake the mud off, the old man said, "What was that just now! I've lived on the mountain for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen it... Hey! It's not surprising, it's strange and self-defeating!"

"En." Nan Shi replied lightly, touched the water, came out and poured half a bottle down with his head raised.

The old man said again: "Don't be afraid, let's go down the mountain and go to the Town God's Temple to worship. Misfortunes and blessings depend on it, and part of our luck today is also part of it...Hey! Do you think there is a fungus over there?!"

The old man pointed to the hillside ahead, his face was full of joy, Nan Shi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that there was indeed a big fungus on the steep downward slope, with a bright red canopy and a white stem. Yellow folds, about the size of a washbasin, look extremely attractive.

Nan Shi got up and walked to the side of the road to look at it, and asked curiously, "You can't eat it after seeing it?"

"You can eat it, you can eat it." The old man repeated: "As long as it is cooked, you can eat it-you don't understand, it's only fun to eat something that is a little bit poisonous!"

"Boy, I can't get off this leg, you go down and pick it off?"

At some point, the old man had already walked behind Nan Shi, with a weird smile on his wrinkled face, and he raised his hand to push Nan Shi down.

Suddenly, Nan Shi's figure changed, and he tightly clamped his wrist with one hand. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You brought me here just for this?"

At this moment, the old man's face was folded downwards like melting ice cream, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were distorted to the point where he was disfigured, but Nan Shi was not afraid, he twisted and pushed him with his backhand, and pushed him to the front , which is where the sun is strongest.

"Why——! Let go of me——! Let me go! It's so hot!!" The old man screamed and frantically tried to pull out his hand, but Nan Shi stood still, his fingers clasping the opponent's hand like a steel bar. Hand Bones - The skin has melted away, leaving only the bones.

Nan Shi glanced at the hand bone lightly: "It's disgusting."

"Let me go! It's so hot!" The old man was still screaming, raising his hand above his head to try to cover the sunlight that was cast on his head. With that little shadow, his face stopped melting, but the place where there was no shadow was still the same. is constantly melting.

"I'll ask again, that's why you brought me here?" Nan Shi set a time for himself in his heart, and if the other party still can't say anything useful at the end of the time, he will settle the matter on the spot ——It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, isn't it?

"No! No, no! Ahhh, I'm going to be sunburned to death!" The old man's voice became more and more sharp, and a wind came from the forest, bringing a trace of coldness into Nan Shi's hair.

"Tell me."

"Let go of me first!" the old man shouted.

Nan Shi asked back: "Could it be that I am begging you to do something?"

In fact, as soon as the old man came out, he recognized that it was a ghost pretending to be a ghost. The real old man was a local, and with the blessing of the mountain god, there would be no ghosts to get close to him. Most of the people who died here were locals, not ghosts. This kind of life-threatening, everyone knows the basics, today I scare your children, tomorrow your ancestors will scare my children, what are you making a fuss about?It's all neighbors in the neighborhood and you have to be shameless?

But Nan Shi's main purpose of following the ghost was that he saw that the ghost didn't seem to be buried. He thought it was the ghost who wanted to ask him to help bury the body, or call the police, so he followed him.

Now it seems that there is no need to do good deeds every day.

The old man's outer skin has almost melted away, revealing Onimoto's face, and there is another face underneath his face, except for his face being black and blue, he looks quite young.

The ghost screamed: "Can you let go of my hand first! The most painful thing is over there, okay! Thank you, big brother!"

Nan Shi was taken aback, oh yes, he seemed to be wearing a magic weapon when he went out, no wonder the bones of the other party's wrists that were in direct contact with him came out.Nan Shi took advantage of the situation and threw him into the shadows, "Speak well."

The ghost who had regained his youthful face gasped, and said honestly: "Boss, listen to me, boss, I really didn't intend to kill you. Pushing down here is a small pond. I have cleaned up all the stones, and absolutely no one will die, at most a minor injury."

"And then?" Nan Shi asked angrily: "Should I call the police or what? You know there is no signal here, right? If something happens, you can't go down first and report it to the local judicial department? You have to come and drag the living , can you afford to be responsible if something goes wrong?"

The young man said obediently: "...That's right, Black and White Impermanence passed out, and I haven't woken up yet."

Nan Shi: "...?"

He continued: "I was quite happy when I saw that Black and White Wuchang came to pick me up, and then the area where I died had a lot of fungi, so I made them a skewer of fungus, and they still haven't woken up after eating it. "

Nan Shi was stunned for a while, before saying, "...how many days?"

"It's been two days, will ghosts die if they eat red umbrella①?" The young man looked aggrieved, "I'll be fine if I eat it, why can't they eat it? I won't be arrested for poisoning government officials in the underworld, right?" ?”

"……how could I know."

Nan Shi said with a strange expression.

He thought the man should have died of food poisoning.

The author has something to say:

Red Luo umbrella: A highly poisonous fungus, it looks very attractive, but it is poisonous, and the scientific name is not clear. I remember that the mushroom picker I chased up was very deadly. According to him, some The local X Luo umbrellas (and Qingluo umbrellas, yellow Luo umbrellas and Bailuo umbrellas) are edible, but some places cannot eat them, and I don’t know what science is
