Chapter 31 31. Ghost Story
Naturally, Lovey gave the task of guarding the ice wolf Anus to Lanlan.
Lodel repeatedly warned Lanlan that if Anus bit anyone or made a mistake, she would be held jointly responsible.
"Anus has never bitten anyone, and it can understand what people say!" Lan Lan gently touched the ice wolf's big head with a look of trust on her face.
Anus whined and wagged his tail.
During the rest of the journey, everyone started to get familiar with this giant blue and white wolf and gradually let down their guard against it.
After all, it is not common to find a monster that is willing to be a good tow truck driver.
The team moved forward for a while.
Laudel ordered them to set up camp by the stream to rest. Lanlan and Anus jumped into the lake to help catch fish. Fortunately, they caught a large light red fish.
Lan Lan skillfully used a knife to scrape off the fish scales and remove the inedible internal organs, and then turned the fish into a pot of delicious fish soup.
"What kind of fish is this?" Lovey thought the fish was delicious.
"We are called Red Fish." said Lan Lan.
"How many red fish?"
"There are a lot of them, in streams and rivers everywhere. But redfish are quite smart and not easy to catch."
After everyone finished eating, Lan Lan dutifully cleaned up the dishes and took them to the stream to clean them with linen.
After lunch, the team continued on their journey, and gradually the stream and the road began to move away.
Tina said goodbye to everyone: "Lord, from now on, Lanlan and Anus will be in your care."
"Don't worry." Lowe nodded.
Tina took over the cart. Lanlan did not forget to put the two bags of wheat back.
"Can we reach the Ice Wolf Village by following this stream upstream?" Lodel held her waist with both hands, and the breeze blew the silver hair on her cheeks.
"Yes, our village is at the confluence of the creek and the Bedo River." Lan Lan watched Tina's back getting farther and farther away and replied softly.
The ice wolf Anus raised his head and howled, bidding farewell to Tina.
Lovi said to Lodel, "I need someone to go to Dam Village and help me count the population."
"Do you want to notify every village? That would be a lot of work."
"Well, it's a bit troublesome. Please help me."
Lodel called Li over and said, "Have you been to Dam Village?"
“Yes.”
"Inform the mayor of Damm that the lord has requested a census. Bring back the results."
"yes."
Li calmly accepted the task and went to ask the logistics team for food.
Twenty-seven new recruits, twenty-two of whom were added to the ranks that had suffered casualties. Now, Li only had five people under her command, including herself.
Will there be any problems if five people go there? Luo Wei felt inexplicably depressed.
I opened the map and looked at it. If I walked further, there would be a small road on the right. I would walk along the small road for two hours and I would reach Damu Village.
Silently suppressing his thoughts, he focused on the scenery along the road. The boredom soon disappeared without a trace.
It's a nice sunny day, everything is so beautiful.
However, there are always times when you get bored and tired.
Luo Wei's heart moved: "Lodel, have you ever seen a ghost?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lodel glanced.
"Let's chat. Don't you feel bored?"
"I don't think so, Lowe. I suggest you don't be too curious about ghosts."
"Why?"
"Ghosts in this world really exist, they are not fictional. They like to suck the human spirit. They are a kind of dark creature." A look of reminiscence appeared on Lodel's face, "It is impossible for ordinary people to become ghosts after death, unless they are very obsessed. And you spellcasters are likely to become ghosts after death.
Ordinary ghosts are just a kind of mental field or momentary memory. They have no independent consciousness and will disappear after a period of time. Ordinary people don’t need to be afraid of them at all, but some ghosts with particularly strong obsessions will not dissipate. They can absorb fear by making people have nightmares to make up for themselves. Then they will have stronger abilities and become evil spirits. "
"Is the evil spirit powerful?" Lowe showed an interested expression.
"It's very difficult for ordinary people to deal with it. But for spellcasters, it's easy to deal with it. You don't need to be afraid at all." Lodel said lightly.
"Master, do you want to hear a story?" Lanlan wagged his tail, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What's the story?"
"A ghost story."
"You tell me."
"This is what my mother told me when I was little. One day, a woodcutter who went to the mountain to collect firewood accidentally got lost. She was very anxious. As the sky got dark, she still couldn't find the way home, so she had no choice but to spend the night in the mountain."
Lan Lan was talking excitedly, when she suddenly noticed that Luo Wei's expression looked a little strange.
Luo Deer also noticed it and raised his hand to signal the team to stop. The next moment, a pure black silhouette slowly emerged from the shadow behind Luo Wei.
Lan Lan got furious and screamed, "Ghost!"
Lovey and Lodel were not very surprised because this was not the first time.
The black outline stretched out gracefully, revealing the outline of Evelyn's figure.
"Good afternoon, my child." She sent mental waves to Lovey alone.
"Mother! Do you have something to talk to me about?" Lowe responded with a mental wave.
"You let Mosophie come back. I'm worried about you." The black silhouette came close to his face. There was a black mist on his face and no expression could be seen.
"It's okay, I'm doing fine." Lowe stepped back slightly.
"Where are you now? When are you planning to come back?"
"I'm on my way to East Guard City. It will take me more than half a month to come back."
"Do you want me to ask Mosophie to come to you?"
"No, you let Mosophie rest for a while. I'm fine."
"The little girl you brought back has quite a talent. Mosuofei said you wanted to take her in as your disciple."
"That's what happened."
"I'll take her in as my disciple."
"Do you have time to teach her?"
"I'm planning to relax for a while recently, so it won't be a problem for me to teach her some basics. You have to take this child seriously. She may become your assistant in the future."
"I will"
After a brief mental conversation, the shadow turned into mist and dissipated.
Luo Deer looked at Luo Wei without moving his eyes away: "Mother, what do you want?"
"It's okay. She asked me when I would be back, and said that she wanted Mosophie to come and see me, but I didn't agree." Lovey selectively concealed the matter of Misha.
Lodel didn't ask any more questions and waved his hand to signal the team to move on.
Luo Wei looked at Lan Lan mischievously, "Continue telling the story?"
Lan Lan tucked her tail between her legs in fear, "Master, what on earth happened just now?"
"Ghost! She said she wanted to play hide-and-seek with Lan Lan at night."
"It's a lie. Ghosts won't come out during the day when there are many people around."
"I will do it if I say so"
