The years of reselling the haunted house

In order to bond with the three Danqiu little ghosts, I also picked a lot of dog's head mushrooms and prepared to cook them for them at night.

Next, Ma Su got into the tent to rest.Fatty and I lay directly on the rock.

We were thinking about our own thoughts, and from time to time we let out two small sighs.

Indeed, what happened recently was too disturbing and made our hearts extremely heavy.

After eating, Tie Zhu returned to his silly and cute appearance, chasing two butterflies on the grass for a good meal.To be honest, this guy is usually stupid, and he really can't see anything magical about it.

But looking at Tie Zhu playing in the grass, the sun is shining on the grass, unknown wild flowers are all over the mountains, and the wind is full of fresh air and the fragrance of grass and flowers.

If you remove those unpleasant things, this is really a good place to relax physically and mentally.

As long as there is sunshine, there will be no haze in the world.

In such an environment, we all had a good night's sleep and felt comfortable.

But some good things don't seem to stay forever.

We waited at the station throughout the day until it got dark.All the beauty in front of our eyes, as the night slowly falls, slowly disappears in front of our eyes.

Especially when the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky, the warm and warm forest also became extremely cold.

The temperature seemed to drop several degrees immediately.

In order to keep warm and protect ourselves, the fat man and I lit a fire.

The flames warmed our bodies and made us feel more at ease.

In this jungle, whether it is for the beasts or for some dryads, the day and the day belong to two worlds.

I don't know when those Danqiu brats will appear, and I dare not sleep.Just guarding the fire, observing the surrounding movement from time to time.

Fortunately, we have iron pillars, so we don't have to worry about guarding.After all, no matter how sharp our eyes are, they are no match for Tie Zhu's keen sense of hearing and smell.

Tie Zhu was lying on the grass not far from the fire, and it was also dozing off at the beginning.

As the night fell, it raised its head from time to time, listening to the surrounding movement with its ears closed.

Especially after nightfall, I observed that Tie Zhu was even more dishonest.Especially one of its actions seems to be a little bit wrong.

Every once in a while, it raises its paws and slaps vigorously on the grass.

This kind of action has been going on for a long time.

But I didn't see anything unusual around me, so I moved over curiously.

When I got close to the iron pillar, by the light of the fire, I suddenly found a pool of blood on the grass in front of the iron pillar.

The blood should have just been dyed, and the color is blood red.

I was shocked and subconsciously thought that Tie Zhu was injured.

But Tie Zhu behaved normally and showed no signs of injury.As a result, at this moment, Tie Zhu raised his paw again, and slapped down heavily on a place in front of him.

Now I saw it right, in the grass, it seemed that there was a fat bug that was slapped to death by the iron pillar.I even saw the bright red blood spurt out after the insect was shot.

There are worms in this grass.

I quickly greeted Pang Dahai and asked him to call Ma Su out of the tent.

With a flashlight on, Ma Di also approached Tie Zhu, and searched carefully through the grass.

It turned out that in the grass, close to the ground, there were two pink worms that looked like earthworms and crawled up from the ground.

Their bodies were billowing, and just as they got out of the ground, they were slapped by Tie Zhu.

With a bang, the body of one of the insects was slapped and blood splashed out.It's that bright red blood.

Tie Zhu slapped one dead, then raised his paw to slap the other one.

Ma Su hurriedly stopped it, stared at the remaining worm, and said, "Good guy, this thing has shown up again. This should be the poisonous earthworm that Grandma Zhang said. It is this thing that made me and Dahai Zhong move." of?"

I nodded, and saw that the worm was indeed very similar to our common earthworms, almost identical in appearance.

It's just that the body of this poisonous earthworm is actually full of red body fluid.And it is poisonous.

From this, I also thought about why there was a pool of blood where Tie Zhu was lying on his stomach that night.That should be the same as what we saw today, Tie Zhu used his big claws to slap the poisonous earthworms to death one by one.

I asked Ma Di: "Old Ma, what is this thing, do you recognize it? Is it called poisonous earthworm?"

Ma Di shook his head: "It's definitely not. Poison earthworm is just a name given by Mrs. Zhang and the others. If I'm not mistaken, this should also be an annelid oligochaete animal. It belongs to the same family as ordinary earthworms. It The scientific name is Ruan Chan. The Ruan of Ruan Lingyu, the Zen of Zen Rang. But people generally call it used to it, and some say it is called Ruanzhi, but this name is more appropriate for it itself, soft worm.”

"Ruan Chan? Such a strange name? This thing poisoned you, so it has poison on it?" I stared at the worm that survived under the claws of the iron pillar, and asked curiously.

Ma Di shook his head: "It's not poisonous."

As he said that, Ma Di stretched out his hand and pinched the Ruan Chan in the grass.

Ruan Chan twisted violently in Ma Di's hand, and I could see two black spots on its head, which should be Ruan Chan's eyes.

Pang Dahai leaned over and questioned: "Old horse, isn't it? If this thing is not poisonous, how could it be tricked by the two of us?"

Pang Dahai and I were like two ignorant students, staring at Ma Di eagerly.

Ma Di thought for a while, and then explained: "This thing is an egg-laying annelid. After it hatches underground, it has been breeding underground. When it becomes an adult, it will break out of the ground. So although their larvae live in the They are underground, but they can't live underground for a long time after they grow up. Every once in a while, they will pop up. They crawl out of the ground. They don't like shade and cool, but like warmth. So the fire you lit just now, put the Ruan Chan underground attracted."

Ma Su is really well-informed, such a small bug, he can also speak clearly and logically.

Then Ma Di took out a small glass bottle from his bag, put the Ruan Chan in his hand into the bottle, and said anxiously: "This kind of Ruan Chan likes warmth. Apart from this kind of heat, I especially like it..."

Chapter 670

Ma Di pointed to me and Pang Haihai: "I like the warmth of your body. So they will get in through your nostrils when you are asleep..."

When Ma Di said this, Pang Dahai and I were shocked, and our noses also felt itchy.

Pang Dahai covered his nose and said, "Old Ma, are you for real? When we were at Grandma Zhang's place, this thing wouldn't be real..."

Ma Di nodded: "It's not wrong. Look..."

As he spoke, Ma Su shook the glass bottle in his hand.The Ruan Chan inside, after such a short period of time, actually became smaller in size.It was about the size of an earthworm just now, but now it has shrunk to the size of an embroidery needle.

"Ruan Chan has a skill, shrinking body. In fact, it's not considered shrinking, because this is what they look like. Just now, it's just a natural reaction of the body just emerging from the ground."

Now I really believe what Ma Su said.If it was the way it was just now, we wouldn't feel it when it got into our nostrils.If it is this body shape as thin as an embroidery needle that sneaks into our body silently, we may not really know it.Even if your nose is itchy, you don't expect worms to crawl into your nostrils.

This kind of insect is really hard to guard against as Grandma Zhang said.

Thinking of this, Pang Dahai and I sneezed several times at the same time.Subconsciously rubbing his nose.

Ma Di didn't think so, and continued to talk: "After this thing penetrates into the human body, it will release a substance that will not kill the person immediately, but will immediately tense the muscles of the human body. At the same time, the heat of the body is gradually absorbed. Take it away. So they are not poisonous, but enough to kill people..."

"Old Ma, what you mean is that the two of us got into this kind of Ruan Zen, and then our bodies will become tighter and tighter, and at the same time, the heat in our bodies will be gradually taken away, until the heat in our bodies is exhausted. time, will die?"

When Pang Dahai heard this, he asked tremblingly.

Ma Su nodded.

I recalled the scene at that time, and said: "Yes, the situation of the two of you was the same as what the old horse described. The muscles in your body were stretched like stones. I guess you might not be able to get in with a needle. But It frightened me, but after I fed you the dog's head mushroom soup, your condition eased. This is also thanks to Grandma Zhang."

Ma Di went on to say: "Yes. When we were making soup for the little ghost of Danqiu these two days, we thought we would drink some of it ourselves. We are always on guard against this kind of Ruan Zen. Now you two listen to me and stay near the fire Keep searching, grab Ruan Chan once you find it, and put it in this glass bottle for me."

I was taken aback: "Old Ma, what are you doing catching so many bugs?"

Ma Di said: "I know that this kind of Ruan Zen can kill people, but they are also an extremely precious medicinal material. I want to take them back and send them to the experimental base for research. See if I can extract some medicinal herbs. useful things."

Ma Su is like this, no matter what kind of situation he is in, he will never forget his old profession.

The fat man and I saw that the insect was indeed not poisonous on the surface, so we boldly searched the grass on the ground with a flashlight, and helped Ma Di grab more than half a bottle of this kind of Ruan Chan.At the same time, we also picked a lot of dog head mushrooms.

Then we packed up our tents and belongings.Because it is estimated that it will not be long before the kid Danqiu will continue to set off and take us to find the third uncle.

After finishing these tasks, I took a look at the sky, it should be close to midnight again.

I quickly set up the aluminum pot and threw the collected dog's head mushrooms into the aluminum pot to cook.Soon, the pot of water turned blood red.The strong sour smell radiated out again, making people sick.

Since we had just seen that kind of Ruan Chan, Fatty and Ma Di were also afraid of being tricked again, so they held their noses and each drank a little.The rest continued to boil, and finally there was half a pot of soup left, and I put the pot on the edge of the grass.Those are for the three brats.Although there are not many, but conditions dictate, we can only use this to show our good attitude.

Not long after I put the aluminum pot over there, I heard chirping calls from the grass in the distance.

It's the cry of the little devil named Danqiu.

Tie Zhu beside him stood up abruptly, and let out a low growl in the direction of the sound.

I comforted Tie Zhu.He squatted down and carefully observed the movement in the distance.

By the moonlight, three small figures loomed on the edge of the grass.They seem to be deliberately keeping a distance from us, allowing us to see, but not clearly.

Their figures swayed for a while, and suddenly they flashed in sight, and then disappeared suddenly.

Tie Zhu barked in a low voice, and ran towards the distance.

"Hurry up, let's go, follow up." I greeted, carried my belongings on my back, and chased towards the iron pillar.

Ma Di and Pang Dahai each took something and followed closely behind.

I ran to the location where the aluminum pot was placed, and found that the pot had been buckled on the ground with the bottom up, and the soup inside had been wiped out.It seemed that the three little ghosts had eaten their fill, and after finishing the soup in the pot, they continued on their way.

I asked the fat man to carry the pot back, and let the iron pillar follow in front of us, and we started our evening journey again.

It turned out that we optimistically thought that with Danqiu kid leading us, we should find Third Uncle and the others soon.But we didn't expect that our situation of resting during the day and traveling at night would last for several days in a row.

Every day is the same process, and the whole process is not only tiring, but also boring.

In addition, due to the blocked vision at night, we were also in a state of embarrassment when we were moving.The clothes on his body didn't know how many holes were scratched by the branches.Except for the tighter protection of the face, the rest of the body was scratched and covered with tiny scratches.

After three days, we are exhausted.The night of the third day was another tight night. When the sky brightened, Tie Zhu yelled at us, prostrated himself on the ground, and sent a signal that the target had stopped.

We finally stopped this tracking as well.

Ma Di was so tired that his face was covered with sweat, his facial features were dislocated, and he looked a little out of shape.

Ma Di's physical strength may not be enough to support him to run for so long, but he followed us to this side with his strength.Seeing Tie Zhu lying down, he also sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and opened his mouth for a while, and then said weakly: "It can't be done. It seems that dissatisfaction is always going to die. My old bones are afraid I have to explain here. These two legs, and my old waist, are now as if they are not mine. It will kill me."

Chapter 671 Firm Faith

Since I came into contact with Ma Di, the Ma Di I know is a guy who never accepts his old age.Whether he is on the podium of the university or in his laboratory, he has always worked hard and never said anything convincing.

But today, for the first time, he actually confessed that he was old.

Fatty and I were very saddened to hear this.Let an old man in his 60s follow us here and run all the way in the mountains at night.Although the old horse didn't have a single complaint in his mouth, I felt very sorry when I heard it.

I hurriedly found a slightly open place and let everyone settle down first.

In fact, Pang Dahai and I were also exhausted, feeling like our bones were about to fall apart.One can imagine what the body of an old horse feels like.

The three of us first lay on our backs in the grass, and no one spoke for a long time.

In the end, when the sun rises and shines directly down, people can't open their eyes.Only then did I say: "Do we have to change the plan a little bit, it's not the way to go on like this."

Pang Haihai also said: "Who says it's not? If this goes on, sooner or later these brats will torment us to death. You say, we can't communicate with those brats, why do I feel that they are unreliable? Seeing us But I have already run to the deep mountains, but I haven't found any clues about the uncle. Don't end up missing the uncle, and our own affairs have been delayed."

I shook my head: "But the problem is, what else can we do but trust them? And we haven't been able to slow them down. This is really a problem..."

At this time, Ma Di, who was resting a little bit, said: "Don't worry, my old bones are not broken yet, I can hold on, take a rest during the day, and continue on the road at night."

Pang Dahai waved his hand: "You can pull it down. You can hold on, but I can't. These little devils are like urging their lives, and I don't know whether they can really find the uncle, or wander around in this forest. I said, we can't pin all our hopes on them."

I still didn't give up, took out third uncle's towel again, and tried to let Tie Zhu smell it.Tie Zhu is still indifferent, it seems that there is really no trace of the third uncle nearby.This also made me wonder if the three Danqiu brats would lead us to find Third Uncle.Are they leading us on the road to find the third uncle?

If the three Danqiu little ghosts have been following the instructions of Grandma Zhang, then they are undoubtedly leading us to find the third uncle.It's just that at least from the current point of view, we haven't shortened the distance with the third uncle because we have been driving for several nights in a row.

Because if he was close to the third uncle, since Tie Zhu could find Chu Liuyan's bloody robe by smelling Chu Liuyan's sheets, he would definitely be able to find clues to the third uncle from the smell on the towel of the third uncle.

Based on this inference, it is certain that the distance between Third Uncle and us at this time should be far beyond the range of Tie Zhu's sense of smell.

So could it be that the three Danqiu little ghosts didn't take us to find the third uncle at all?After all, there is no more communication between us and the three little ghosts.

Fatty has always had this question.

In the past few days, the route that the three little ghosts have taken us has been irregular.It seems to us that we are walking around completely, and sometimes it even feels like we have been walking in circles.

But it can't be said that they didn't try their best.In the past few days, those three little ghosts have formed a perfect understanding with us.

We cook a pot of dog's head mushrooms for them every night and put them a little farther away from us.And they come out to eat near midnight.After eating, they would chirp a few times to signal us, and then they continued on their way.

At this time, Tie Zhu will call out and lead us to follow.

From midnight to dawn the next day is the time for us to travel.They took us non-stop.

We all rest during the day, and we don't know where Danqiu will hide during the day.Anyway, we didn't find any trace of them around.

And we will use the time in the morning to search around for food and water sources, and basically rest in the afternoon.
