Chapter 123 Who knows if this day next year will be their memorial day?
"Fuck it, it's right there, can't you see it?"
Maogougou swallowed his saliva, pointed to the front right with trembling fingers, and cursed softly.
He didn't know why, but he felt that gaze was staring at him, which made him feel creepy and cold all over.
"Well, over there, I saw it too, woo woo..."
At this time, Huang Mingzhu was also trembling with fear. She stretched out her little hand tremblingly and pointed at that side.
A few people looked over and the scene before them suddenly changed for some reason.
In the dark forest, there was a vague white shadow standing there, which made people feel frightened.
"Ghost! There really is a ghost!"
Several people were so scared that they peed their pants and howled like ghosts.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha…”
At this moment, a strange and shrill laugh suddenly sounded, and then the white shadow was seen floating towards them without touching the ground.
Mao Gougou and others were so scared that they almost fainted.
"Fuck! Run!"
Someone yelled and turned and ran.
"Wait, don't run!"
Mao Gougou had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered what Huo Qinghuang said before she left, and shouted hurriedly.
But it was still too late.
The man had already run ten meters away, away from everyone.
The white shadow was originally floating in the direction of the hairy dog, and it seemed that it would soon rush in front of the crowd.
Mao Gougou and the others were frightened out of their wits, their pupils dilated with extreme fear. They wanted to run, but their legs felt like they were filled with drills, and they stood there unable to move.
Suddenly, a milky white light suddenly rose up from the ground. The white shadow couldn't stop in time and crashed into it with a "bang", letting out a shrill scream.
Bai Ying was injured and suddenly became angry. He suddenly turned around and rushed towards the man.
“Ahhhh, help!”
The man was so frightened that he ran around in the mountains and forests like a headless fly.
At this time, Mao Gougou and the others finally came to their senses from their fear, and thinking of the white light before, they hurriedly shouted to the man: "Come back! It's safe here!"
The man was already frightened out of his wits, and upon hearing this he subconsciously rushed towards them.
"Hehehe, where are you going? Just stay here with me..."
The white shadow was extremely fast and rushed to the front in an instant. He rolled up his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth in a sinister and strange arc, and stretched out a pale palm to grab the man.
At the critical moment, the man dived into the bonfire and escaped the disaster.
"Oh my god, that was a close call!"
He patted his chest, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Mao Gougou and others in shock, as if he had escaped a disaster.
The white shadow was unwilling to give in and kept patrolling outside the white light, but it could never break through the defense line.
Mao Gougou and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they were no longer sleepy. They sat around the campfire, staring at the white shadow vigilantly, praying in their hearts that their Master Huo would come back soon, and they felt like every second was a year.
On the big tree, Huo Qinghuang was dozing with one eye open and one eye closed.
Seeing that these people had become completely obedient, he closed his other eye and fell asleep peacefully.
After a thrilling night, the next morning, when Huo Qinghuang came down from the tree, she saw five pairs of big dark circles under their eyes.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Huo Qinghuang cleared her throat and asked knowingly, trying not to laugh.
When they saw Huo Qinghuang, it was obvious that they had not yet come to their senses. They looked at her blankly with lifeless eyes.
"Did you have a nightmare last night?"
Huo Qinghuang continued to play dumb.
"Woo woo, Master Huo, where did you go last night? There was a ghost, we were scared to death!"
The hairy dog finally came to his senses and burst into tears, as if he had suffered a lot of injustice.
These words seemed to turn on some kind of switch. The others couldn't help crying after hearing it, as if they were really possessed by ghosts.
Huo Qinghuang's eyes twitched slightly, and she looked away, unable to bear to look.
"Well, there are no ghosts in this world. You must have seen it wrong and scared yourself. Okay, clean up and continue looking for medicine."
She said something perfunctorily, waved her hand, and without giving them a chance to beg for mercy, she walked towards the depths of the forest.
A few people were skeptical and wanted to confirm it again, but unfortunately Huo Qinghuang had already left, so they dared not stay any longer.
"What should I do? My legs are weak and I can't move a step. How about we take a break before we go on?"
Huang Mingzhu said with a bitter face and pitifully.
"But Master Huo has already left, do you want to stay here and wait for the ghost to come find you again at night?
Or do you want to be retaliated by Wong Tai Sin and do not want to complete the task assigned by Master Huo?"
The hairy dog rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Although Master Huo's mission was a bit tiring, at least he was able to save his life.
If it fell into the hands of a female ghost or Wong Tai Sin, who knows if this day next year will be their memorial day?
Several people also understood this truth and silently got up from the ground.
Seeing that no one supported her, Huang Mingzhu immediately lost her temper and got up from the ground helplessly.
Next, they cheered up, followed Huo Qinghuang, and continued their journey to find medicine.
There were many difficulties along the way. Either they encountered steep slopes that were difficult to climb, or they were blocked by thorn bushes. Everyone's bodies were covered with scars, but they did not dare to complain at all.
Because they knew that this was the price they paid for saving their lives.
None of them were stupid, and they finally figured it out along the way.
Since Master Huo even has such immortal methods, who dares to say that there are no ghosts in this world?
So, they really saw a ghost last night!
Thinking of this, even if they were exhausted, they dared not slack off in their search for medicine.
Finally, in a hidden valley, Mao Gou Dog found a ginseng.
He shouted excitedly, "Master Huo, come and see, there is ginseng here! The leaves are exactly the same as you described!"
Everyone gathered around, wanting to see what ginseng looked like.
Huo Qinghuang walked over, squatted down, and carefully observed the ginseng, with a rare smile on his face.
"Although it's only a hundred years old, it's still rare. Be careful when you dig. If you accidentally cut the roots, the effect will be greatly reduced."
She reminded.
"Ah? Want us to do it ourselves?"
Mao Gougou was stunned and couldn't believe that Huo Qinghuang would actually let them dig ginseng.
"You found it, if you don't dig it, do you want me to dig it?"
Huo Qinghuang squinted at him, "Or do you want to pay a higher price?"
Mao Gougou and others shook their heads and said they would be careful.
They don't want to stay in Changbai Mountain for a moment. If they pay any more price, they will really collapse.
Several people began to dig ginseng carefully, fearing that they would accidentally damage this hard-earned treasure.
After some effort, they finally succeeded in digging out the ginseng, and everyone cheered.
Encouraged by this ginseng, they became more confident and continued to search for other medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests.
Although the process was still difficult, in order to complete the task and leave Changbai Mountain as soon as possible, they searched more attentively than yesterday.
As time went by, they also found some other precious medicinal herbs. Although the quantity was not large, it was still a gain.
Looking at their busy figures, Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but sigh that this free labor was indeed useful and much more efficient than her alone.
I don’t know where Xiaobai has gone. I haven’t seen even a trace of him from yesterday until now.
Huo Qinghuang secretly complained in her heart and decided to give it a taste of its own medicine.
