Hundred Ghosts

The moment Lin Zi heard the news of Lao Zhang's death, he actually felt a sense of relief.

When things can't be saved, it's the best choice to settle the matter once and for all.

Calculating carefully, he has been here for more than a month, and spring has come very quickly. The front and back of the house are full of small white flowers, and the small buds are so fresh that water can be squeezed out, and there is a sense of new vitality when you look at it.

Lin Zi picked a bouquet of small wild flowers near his home and placed them as decorations at home. In spring, there were also many prey. Recently, Orion brought back many small things.

Lin Zi wiped the table clean, lit a fire and boiled rice, and took a basin of water to wash a large handful of Sophora japonica carefully.

What caught his attention the most was He Huai, that guy smelled delicious recently, a sweet scent of Sophora japonica, yesterday he saw several bees followed him home.

Lin Zi asked him what was going on, and he triumphantly said that he had blossomed.

Speaking of "blossom", Lin Zi couldn't help but think of a bud sprouting on his head, the buds grew and grew, and then grew into branches, and then blossoms popped out to fill the branches...

But in fact it is not like this. He Huai said that if he went to his body now, he would see the big locust tree in his body full of flowers, the flowers were like waterfalls, and the huge crown of the tree was white and stretched towards the trunk. With a kick, the flower buds will fall in clusters, like snow.

What he said made Lin Zi's heart flutter, but how could he go to that place now?

But... why did he think about kicking himself?

In the evening, the two of them came back, but their complexions did not look very good, and there was no prey in their hands.

Lin Zi thought that the two of them might be a little frustrated because they didn't find anything, so he comforted them and said, "Today I dug up a lot of wild vegetables, which can be fried with eggs. Why don't you go tomorrow? Why don't I clean it up tomorrow?" Take it with you?"

He Huai forced a smile at him, "I'll talk about this later."

"Then what's the matter with you?"

"Today...something happened."

It has been a month since he moved here. He went hunting with the hunters, and became acquainted with several hunters nearby. While hunting today, a hunter had an accident.

He was far away from the others at that time, and the other group of people only heard a scream. When he passed by, something ripped out his heart. The chests of the prey he shot were all torn apart, and only the heart was lost!

"The others didn't move at all?"

"I only lost my heart, the rest, even my liver and lungs are fine."

Lin Zi was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and after a while he murmured, "It only eats the heart, so it's not a beast after all."

Orion hurriedly asked, "What do you think, Brother Lin?"

Lin Zi smiled wryly and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know too well. There are many ghosts and ghosts living in the mountains and forests, and there are quite a few ghosts who eat their hearts alone. Why don't we go around the area where the accident happened tomorrow, maybe we can still see it?" Come out one or two."

Orion hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't! Don't, it's bad if something happens. If you want to go, I'll go there with Brother He. If we meet you, you can run away. Don't you think so? Brother He?"

He Huai didn't give him face, and said unhurriedly, "If we want to go, it's better for the two of us to go there. It's better for Brother Zhao to stay at home and help Brother Li's family with the funeral."

If it's a ghost, it's okay, Lin Zi can beat the opponent on the ground, if it's a beast, he can do it by himself, maybe he can eat fresh meat at night, it's more likely to cause accidents if he brings Zhao Orion together.

As they were talking, a group of people passed by the door crying. He Huai sighed and said, "The body has been brought back, but the family members should be heartbroken again."

"Life and death depend on fate, wealth and honor. There is no way to do this. Let's take it easy. Brother Zhao, do you want to go over and help?"

"Go, of course, why not?"

"Just go, take me with you." Lin Zi said.

Following Zhao Liehu to pay homage to the deceased, although Lin Zi really wanted to lift the coffin boards of the deceased...but with so many people here, he had to honestly put incense on the deceased.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Orion's young son was left in the main hall.

He is still too young to understand the parting of life and death, so his face is still sullen because he can't eat with the past.

"What's the matter, look at this little mouth is about to hang the soy sauce bottle."

"They won't let me eat! They ate it! They must let me stay here!"

"Do you know who's in the coffin?"

"It's my dad."

"It's been a long time ago. He is your father, and you are your father's only son. If you don't guard, who will guard?"

"Hmph, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't be his son!"

"You little idiot..." Lin Zi couldn't help poking his little head, "From now on you won't have a father... If someone beats you, no one will help you fight back, no one will hug you and hold you high, and give you a father when you are hunting. Bring Onoka."

"I..." Realizing that there was still this problem, he panicked, "I won't let my father die!"

Looking left and right, Lin Zi rolled his eyes and whispered to him, "Do you want to see your father?"

"think."

"Then you can do as I say later, okay?"

"Okay!" He tilted his head and asked Lin Zi, "If you do what you say, will you be able to meet my father?"

"Of course."

After the others finished their meal and helped him keep the vigil, instead of going to the kitchen to make food, he slipped out of the door quietly.

"Come here." Lin Zi beckoned to him, "Look at the bell on my hand, wait a minute, I'll shake it and you will take one step to the west, and you will stop after seven steps, do you understand?"

"understood."

"Then you stand where you are and call your father, three times 'Are you back yet'."

"and then?"

"Then you don't have to worry about it,"

"So I can see my dad?"

Lin Zi smiled awkwardly, he didn't dare to say this, anyway, he could see it, and whether this little guy could see it would depend on the fate of ghosts.

Lin Zi looked sincerely, "This way your father can see you."

"..."

He did as Lin Zi said, walked around and shouted three times, when the bell rang, Lin Zi turned around, and his father was standing in front of him.

"Little bastard, why don't you hurry up and watch over your father's spirit! What if the ever-burning lamp goes out?"

Before seeing anyone, his aunt pinched her waist and chased him, insisting to call him to guard the mourning hall.

"Go, go!" Lin Zi said, "I'll ask your father to look for you later."

He had no choice but to go back three times at a step, and the tip of his ear was pinched by an adult.

When the ghost saw the woman treating his child like this, he yelled anxiously, "Sister, let go! The child's ears can't be squeezed..."

I just don't know why but I can't take a foot, and my body seems to be fixed in place by something.

After the stranger left, he looked left and right to see if there was anyone else, Lin Zi hurriedly pulled him back and asked, "Brother Li!"

Seeing Lin Zi, the ghost smiled heartily, "Brother Lin? Where's Brother He from your family? That guy is too thieves, he hacked our two rabbits! This is not allowed, if you make it into food, you must call Fuck me, do you know?"

"Of course, but I'm afraid we won't have this chance." After a person died, it was difficult to reflect that he was already a ghost, and he couldn't tell him clearly. Lin Zi smiled reluctantly, "Brother Li, think about it carefully, during the day What's going on here."

He tapped his fingers on his head and thought for a long time, "I seem to be hunting today. When I walked to a trail and saw something that looked like a bear with black fur, I chased it. I wanted to determine its old den and call the nearby brothers. Get up and grab..."

The critical moment has come!

Lin Zi held his breath, "And then?"

"That guy suddenly turned around and ran towards me. It's not a bear! It has three eyes and it's covered in hair! It's scary...and...did I die at its hands?"

"Yes," Lin Zi led him into the house, "Look, that is your mourning hall."

The fleshy ghost covered his face and wept uncontrollably, "I'm leaving, what will the two of them do!"

"Don't worry, I'm going to do business today, which one of the neighbors didn't help? As long as He Huai and I are still here, there will be a sister-in-law if we have a meal." Lin Zi returned to the topic, "But having said that, I mainly want to ask you , the thing that hurt you is really what you said?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Zi stroked his chin and said slowly, "I think you have met a ghost."

"Ghost?"

As the name suggests, the biggest characteristic of this kind of ghost is that it grows hair all over the body, and the colors are black, red, white and so on.

Not only are they covered in long hair, but they also have three eyes. They like to eat human hearts and animal hearts, and even often go to people's homes to hurt people!

But it is worth mentioning that its strength is similar to that of a human.

It depends on whether you can beat him.

"Your body will be kept here for two or three days. Brother Li, why don't you go back and see your child, your child misses you..."

Miss the snacks you brought.

"Oh good!"

Lin Zi's face was solemn, and he had better go and see it by himself tomorrow.

On the second day, Lin Zi went deep into the woods with He Huai, holding the bow and arrows on his back, leaving Zhao Orion to take it with him at home.

Before leaving, Zhao Liehu was very reluctant, "Hey, why don't I go?"

"The road is too far!"

"You can't catch the boar when it comes out!"

"You might even be kicked out by wild boars!"

"Really, I'm an honest man, I won't lie to you!"

Lin Zi just ignored him, this guy just didn't want to wash the dishes and cook!

After following He Huai for more than an hour, they stopped at a fork in the road. Lin Zi wiped off his sweat and couldn't help asking, "Do you usually run so far?"

He Huai said, "No, I came here only because of the large number of people."

Lin Zi thumped his leg and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's too far away, you two don't want to be with him in the future..."

"Usually the two of us run farther than here!"

"..."

Forget it, you two should follow along.

After resting enough, Lin Zi got up and looked for the ghost nearby. Yesterday's murder scene was still there, and there were several bloodstains on a piece of open space, which made people uncomfortable to look at.

"Go ahead and take a look." He Huai suggested, "Look at the haystacks in front of you are falling to the left. I think there is something pressing over there. Let's catch up and have a look."

As a hunter, He Huai's vigilance has improved a lot. They chased all the way, and finally found another puddle of blood in a wild field, and three deer whose hearts had been taken out were lying on the puddle of blood.

He Huai squatted down and poked the deer, his expression changed, "The blood is not solidified, and the deer's breath is still warm, which means he hasn't gone far, be careful!"
