Chapter 55 Ginseng Doll
"Oh, I haven't had enough fun yet, why do I have to go back?" Cheng Yaojin muttered. It has been exactly three minutes since Cheng Yaojin fell in love with Liu Junshen, and the mysterious power began to disappear. Is this the legendary three-minute real man?
After Liu Jun accepted control of his body, he squatted down and gently poked the monster with his hand. The monster was actually trembling in fear. This was because Cheng Yaojin had cast a shadow.
"Can you understand what I'm saying? Let's go, I won't beat you up. If you see a human creature like me in the future, stay away, he may beat you up too"
The strange man raised his head and looked carefully. There were tears in his scarlet eyes. This monster seemed to have been beaten to tears. It was so miserable. The monster saw no reaction from Liu Jun and had no intention of beating him. He stood up and used his hands and feet to run away.
Liu Jun went to see Brother Lin first and helped him up. Just when he was about to help the fat man again, he stood up unsteadily. This fat is thick, which is anti-inflammatory. The fat man was thrown further by the monster just now than Brother Lin, and it looked like he was less injured than Brother Lin.
Just when they were about to pack up and leave, the monster rumbled back. Just when Liu Jun and the others looked at the monster in horror, thinking that he was coming back for revenge.
The monster picked up the dead wild boar and ran away in the direction it came from without looking back. This monster brother is as passionate and persistent about eating as the fat man.
Instructing the fat man to carry Brother Lin on his back, Liu Jun hugged the little fox and held things. It took three people an hour to arrive, but it took more than three hours to return. Although Brother Lin was not injured, he was swollen in many places and would not recover in a few days.
Back at the wooden house, Liu Jun lit a fire and clumsily made some soup. Several people gathered around the fire in silence.
"What are you looking for? I think what you are looking for is not an ordinary thing." Brother Lin asked after being silent for a while.
"Wild ginseng, refined wild ginseng" Liu Jun was not hiding it. After these few lives and deaths, it was obvious that Brother Lin was a trustworthy person.
"Wild ginseng, what will become of the wild ginseng that has become a spirit?" Brother Lin asked.
"Babies, children, old men, etc., most of them are in the form of children." Liu Jun recalled the classics he had read.
"Child, I have seen a very strange child. That child is very close to your second grandfather." Brother Lin hesitated and said.
"Can you tell me something? It's related to the death of my second grandfather. It's very important." Liu Jun looked a little happy. Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, the clues were here.
Your second grandfather doesn’t have any hobbies, he just likes to drink a little wine. So your second grandfather usually wanders around the woods during the day, picking up some wild mushrooms and fungus, digging some wild vegetables, and catching fish. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can also pick up frozen roe deer, rabbits, pheasants, etc.
Go back to the forest ranger's hut in the evening, take me to stew a pot of broth, put in some game and wild vegetables picked up during the day, get some wine, and have a delicious meal.
Just after I came here to live for a while, your second grandfather and I encountered something strange. Often when we are sleeping at night, we can vaguely hear the laughter of children. We hear it very clearly and very close.
But your second grandfather and I went out to look, but found nothing. Your second grandfather and I also find it strange that there are no people around here for dozens of miles. Where can children laugh in the middle of the night? But it’s impossible for both people to listen to this.
When we went out to patrol the forest in the morning, we found many small footprints on the snow around his wooden house. They looked a bit like those of children, but upon closer inspection, they didn’t look like them. The soles of their feet were very short, but they were obviously not large. Beastly.
Your second grandfather and I were a little scared at first. It obviously didn’t look like a human being. We thought it was a mountain god or a big yellow-skinned snake living nearby that had become a spirit. We were frightened for several days.
But as time went by, we discovered that this child actually had no intention of harming anyone at all, and would never come to disturb us. We just got along like this, and we were always in peace. Gradually, your second grandfather and I felt relieved and no longer had to worry about this matter. But then one night in the middle of the night, we cooked a pot of mushroom soup, put in a lot of wild vegetables, and it was delicious. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. We opened the door and saw a child of six or seven years old, wearing a red bellyband, carved with pink and jade, with two small braids standing upright, a small red flower on his head, and a pink smiling face. , very cute.
At that time, your second grandfather asked him curiously, whose child you are, and why you are out so late. This little boy said that he is a neighbor to us. I smell your food is very fragrant today. Can I have a taste? As he spoke, he made a gesture of swallowing.
At that time, your second grandfather and I were so clever that we were so frightened that we trembled all over. Because there are no residents around us at all. I'm afraid this is the unknown spiritual creature, but it looks so well-behaved and doesn't seem to be harmful at all.
Your second grandfather and I also happened to drink some wine at that time. As the saying goes, wine makes people bold, so we were not too scared at the time. After a while, we managed to calm down.
So we invited the child to come in and sit down, adding an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks. Your second grandfather took another wine glass and asked the child if he wanted to drink. The child nodded and said, I will just drink a little today. It has been a long time since I drank.
When we heard this, we were even more sure that this child was not a normal person. Just by looking at his red cloth pockets and linen shorts, we knew that no normal child would wear this on such a cold day.
However, we were not afraid at all, so we started drinking with the child and cut a plate of rabbit meat, but the child seemed to only eat vegetarian food and did not eat meat.
We ate together for several hours, chatting about everything. The child heard your second grandfather say that when he was young, he served as a soldier, fought in wars, went to the DPRK, and even visited places like Beijing and Haishi. The child was very envious and said, "You guys are so nice and you can walk everywhere. I have never been out of this mountain and I don't know what it's like outside."
At that time, we told the child to take him out for a look. The child shook his head and told us that he couldn't go out. Later we also drank too much and fell asleep directly. When I woke up the next morning, I thought I was dreaming yesterday, but when I got up and looked at the table, there was really an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks.
We were convinced that it was not a dream, but we were not afraid at all, because we knew that the thing was really not bad, and it would be nice to just chat with us to relieve our boredom.
The child didn't show up for several days. One morning, when your second grandfather got up early and went out, he saw some pecans, wild fruits and mushrooms at the door, wrapped in a few green leaves. Neatly placed at the door.
Knowing that this was a return gift from the child, I fell in love with the child even more. One night a few days later, the child knocked on the door again. Your second grandfather said thank you for the food he sent last time. It was delicious.
The child's face turned red and told us that we can't eat your food for free, be careful, you just like it. Your second grandfather also asked me to buy some wild bamboo shoots and southern fruits for the children to eat when I went out. The children seemed to have never eaten the things I brought back, but they said they liked them very much. The children seemed to like them very much. Eat bananas, oranges, etc.
That’s it. Your second grandfather and I went out to patrol the mountains during the day to pick up some mushrooms, wild vegetables and the like. We would come back in the evening to cook something delicious and wait for the kid to come over to eat together. The kid often brought us a lot of things from the mountains.
After we became familiar with each other, the child directly called your second grandfather Grandpa Liu, and called me Uncle Lin
The things the children brought to us are far better than what people can pick in the woods. It's better, we often sell it when we can't finish it, and use the money from the sale to buy wine and fruit and take it back to the mountains to share with the child.
One time, the child took something like a root and gave it to me and your second grandfather each. We ate it. Our bodies felt warmer and better. Only then did we realize that what the child had given us was an incredible treasure. Later, your second grandfather was too drunk and accidentally told the story, but he didn't think anything of it.
This life was originally quite good, comfortable and comfortable. Maybe the news about the roots spread, and a group of people came to the forest. When they found us, they asked if there were old ginseng here. They also told us to give the ginseng we were looking for to them and tell me. Grandpa two million.
Your second grandfather and I actually suspected that the ginseng they were looking for was the child who often looked for us, but none of us said anything. No matter whether the child was ginseng essence or not, we couldn't let them take it away. After getting along for a while, we also developed feelings for each other.
