3019 Help
“Little girl, follow me closely.” Wanyan s.h.i.+san said and lifted onto his toes on the ground. He quickened his pace and chased after them. He didn’t subdue those little ghosts at once but followed them leisurely instead.
Feng Jiu followed behind and walked along the path until she entered the dense forest in front of her. As soon as she entered the dense forest, she felt that the air was a bit cold as the sunlight was unable to s.h.i.+ne into the dense forest and it made the light inside the forest darker.
She raised her eyes and looked inside, but in a blink of an eye, Wanyan s.h.i.+san had disappeared. There was only silence all around with only the breeze blowing. The fallen leaves on the ground rolled along the ground and the branches and leaves on the trees made a rustling sound when they collided.
“Wanyan s.h.i.+san?”
!!
Feng Jiu called out and slowed her pace as she walked inside. It was only a brief moment, where had he disappeared to? When she stepped inside the forest, there was no obvious path to follow, and soon after, she was lost and unable to leave the forest.
“Wanyan s.h.i.+san?”
She called out, then she stopped and looked around. As far as she could see, apart from the trees, there were some weeds that were half the height of a person. Just as she was about to walk back, she saw a earth spirit ginseng moving around on the ground. Her eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but hold her breath and followed it.
After she had walked some distance, she felt something following behind her. So she turned her head and saw a dirty child, well, ghost, following closely behind her. When he saw that she had turned around, he hid behind a tree in panic.
“Why are you following me?” Feng Jiu asked, her voice was soft because she was afraid of scaring the ginseng plant in the ground that she was about to grab.
“You can’t go in there.” The little ghost said timidly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu was slightly surprised and said: “I wasn’t going to go in, I want to catch that!” Her hand pointed to the ground where the earth spirit ginseng was hiding between the gra.s.s, with only a small red flower exposed.
After she had spoken, she saw that the little ghost had hesitated, then stepped forward cautiously. His figure became transparent gradually. Finally, he walked round to her side and the earth spirit ginseng, and he squatted down and reached out and pulled out the earth spirit ginseng.
Feng Jiu looked at the little ghost in astonishment as she watched it looking at the earth spirit ginseng in its hand. After it looked at Feng Jiu again, it stretched its hand out and handed it forward: “For you.”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but was stunned for a moment. After she recovered from her surprise, she took the earth spirit ginseng and saw that it was two fingers wide and was shaped like a human. There was an ostentatious red flower that bloomed from the head of the ginseng. She took a rope out and tied the earth spirit ginseng, then she planted it in s.p.a.ce.
Only then did she look at the little ghost that was standing timidly in front of her. After thinking for a while, she asked: “Why are you not afraid of the sun?” How did such a small little ghost dare to show up in broad daylight?
“Ah!”
At that moment, a shrill scream sounded, the voice was sharp and ear-piercing as it spread through the forest and made one s.h.i.+ver involuntarily. At this moment, the little ghost ran towards the sound.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu followed behind. After they skimmed through the trees and weeds, they came to a place and saw a middle-aged man in a grey robe who was kneeling down with a ghost in his hand. The ghostly figure swayed from time to time, as if it was about to dissipate at any moment.
The little ghost who had helped her pick the earth spirit ginseng earlier, ran over crying when it saw this scene. At this time, some ghosts on the side were shouting but didn’t dare to approach. And at this moment, the middle-aged man waved the horsetail whisk in his hand.
