Chapter 55, Men...disgusting

As night falls, the back mountain is shrouded in shadow, which is very different from the scenery during the day.

At this time, two figures were shuttling through the night.

Zhang Yaling was leading the way in front, her movements were agile, sometimes going straight, sometimes zigzagging.

Lu Yue followed closely behind with a steady pace, secretly marveling at the extraordinary ability of this "living navigation". He had tried many times during the day but failed, but now he could easily avoid the wormhole.

"Lu Yue, there are mushrooms there."

Zhang Yaling was sharp-eyed and took Lu Yue's hoe and basket and ran over.

Lu Yue did not rush to follow. Instead, he stood still, blending into the night, holding his breath, blending into the surrounding environment, and silently watching Zhang Yaling's cheerful figure.

His purpose was to fish and wait for the rabbit to come to him.

Just wait for other ghosts to smell the treasures and appear.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, Lu Yue has plenty of time.

As time passed quietly, it was eleven o'clock in the evening in a blink of an eye.

Lu Yue had been lying on his stomach with his eyes closed for an hour. His breathing was steady and his body was relaxed. Apart from the fact that he didn't snoring, it could be said that he was no different from being asleep.

Suddenly, a slight rustling sound broke the silence.

Lu Yue's ears twitched slightly and he opened his eyes suddenly, but he still did not act rashly.

Fishing requires patience!

There are too many wormholes here. If the fish doesn't bite the hook, it will easily leave. Lu Yue doesn't want to be called an air force guy.

One second... two seconds... one minute...

In the darkness, a short old man walked out of the shadows.

The old man slowly approached Zhang Yaling, with a kind smile on his dry face, and tried to imitate the kind elder next door and said, "Little girl, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

“Mushroom picking.”

Zhang Yaling looked up with clear eyes. As she spoke, she showed the mushrooms in the basket to the old man, with an innocent smile on her face.

A glimmer of greed flashed in the old man's turbid eyes.

"Little girl, old man, I'm a little hungry, can you give me some?"

"No."

Zhang Yaling refused straightforwardly.

The old man's face twitched, and then he took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket.

Under the thin moonlight, the coin was stained with blood, but as the old man turned his palm over, the bloody ten dollars turned into a brand new hundred dollars.

"I'll pay for it."

Hearing the word "money", Zhang Yaling instantly perked up, looked at the hundred-yuan note carefully, took it with a smile, and handed the mushroom in her hand to the old man.

The old man licked his lips and swallowed it in one gulp. Perhaps it was too fast and he didn't taste anything. He saw Zhang Yaling continue picking mushrooms, and in the blink of an eye he took out a blood-stained banknote and used a trick.

"I'll buy some more."

Zhang Yaling took the money and put it in her pocket, then picked a big, round black mushroom from the basket.

"The smell of natural treasures really fascinates ghosts..."

The old man licked his dry lips, put the mushroom into his mouth and tasted it carefully, but found that the taste was different from what he imagined. It tasted a bit bitter and a little sandy... But in the end he attributed it to the taste of natural treasures.

Natural resources and treasures are not only beneficial to extraordinary people.

It is also a great tonic for ghosts, and eating it regularly can help them grow in strength and transform.

Then the old man took out money again to buy mushrooms.

Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Yaling collected more than a dozen bloody banknotes, all of which were "hundred-yuan bills", but in fact they were five or ten yuan.

The old man also harvested a lot of natural treasures.

As I ate, my belly began to swell.

"Old man, do you have any money left? I have a lot of bamboo shoots here. I'll give you ten bamboo shoots for one." Zhang Yaling's voice sounded, and she began to actively trade.

The old man smiled even more brightly, touched his swollen belly, and realized that the little girl in front of him was a fool.

When he felt his pocket, he found that there was no banknote.

Then he picked up a leaf and turned it into a hundred-dollar bill in the blink of an eye.

"Here you go. Give me the bamboo shoots."

"I don't want it. It's a leaf."

The old man's twisted smile froze instantly, with mushroom residues still remaining in the gaps between his exposed black teeth. He didn't react for a long time.

Lu Yue, who witnessed the whole process, shook his head secretly.

He naturally knew what was going on.

You thought you made money, but in fact you were cheated.

That’s right, Zhang Yaling just tricked a ghost!
From the very beginning, Zhang Yaling saw clearly that the bloody banknotes were not hundred-yuan notes at all, but just ten yuan. The reason she accepted the transaction was simply because the mushrooms she gave to the ghost were not real mushrooms.

But rotten soil and stones.

The stones were sharp and hard.

Zhang Yaling's ability to be obsessed is not limited to humans.

This was also the ability that Lu Yue had experienced when he first met Zhang Yaling. After such a long time, he did not expect that Zhang Yaling's ability had improved again and he could actually deceive a ghost silently.

"Do you have any more money? Just this ten dollars will do."

Zhang Yaling shook the "hundred-dollar bill" in her hand vigorously.

"You can actually see through me. You are not a human. What did you do to me!!!!" The old man came to his senses, his face was like a dark cloud, so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"Tell me first if you have any money left?" Zhang Yaling blinked at the old man.

"If you have money, wait until I kill you and your money will be mine." There was a flash of greed and cruelty in the old man's eyes, and his face was distorted with anger to become even more terrifying.

"There's someone behind you." Zhang Yaling reminded.

"Little girl, this trick won't fool ghosts!!!"

"It didn't lie to you, there is someone behind you." The old man was shocked, and before it could turn around, Lu Yue attacked from behind.

Bang!
With one punch he pierced through the opponent's body. The kidney energy in Lu Yue's body erupted like a volcano, with magma gushing out, instantly igniting the Yin energy in the old man's body until he died.

A reminder sounded in my mind.

At this time, Zhang Yaling hurriedly ran to the other person's body and started searching.

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Change the money. It can be used after washing it."

Lu Yue: “…”

Only then did he remember that Zhang Yaling came from a poor family. Although she was greedy, she was also thrifty and had the habit of picking up water bottles. One of her special skills was money laundering.

Zhang Yaling finally stood up with some disappointment, obviously she didn't find the money.

At this moment, Lu Yue let out a light exclamation, his eyes attracted by the other party's corpse.

Walking quickly forward, I saw that the old man's face had inexplicably appeared a series of shocking scratches, which were deeply engraved into the flesh, looking extremely tragic.

This familiar way of dying...

First came the corpse seamstress and the corpse carrier, and then the old man in front of him.

The way of death is so consistent, who is behind it?

Lu Yue frowned and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Lu Yue, there are bamboo shoots over there, come with me."

In the distance, Zhang Yaling waved her snow-white arms and shouted.

Lu Yue's thoughts were pulled back.

The most urgent thing is to deal with the real business.

So he followed Zhang Yaling into an empty grove of trees.

The night was dead silent and the cold wind was howling.

About half an hour later...

Zhang Yaling was digging bamboo shoots with a hoe. Not far away, a young man slowly appeared with a strange and stiff smile on his face.

"Little girl, what are you digging at this late hour?"

"It's delicious. If you want, you can buy it with money." Zhang Yaling took out a bamboo basket to show off. It was full of rare treasures.

Greed flashed in the young man's eyes, and he stared at the bamboo shoots: "I have no money, but these things are all mine, and you are mine too..."

"Lu Yue, it has no money." Zhang Yaling shouted at the top of her voice.

The young man was confused.

"You have no money but still want to get free food and drinks. You are courting death!!!"

Lu Yue, who had been hiding nearby, attacked with a powerful punch and quickly killed the ghost who had come to chat with him.

Not long after, Lu Yue and Zhang Yaling moved to another place.

"Where did you come from, little girl? Why are you wandering around outside in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of meeting bad guys? I'll take you out."

"Do you have money?"

"Money? I never use that."

"Lu Yue, he has no money!!!"

boom! ! !
Lu Yue’s figure rushed out, and another ghost fell to the ground.

In the following time, similar situations continued to occur. Lu Yue and Zhang Yaling worked together perfectly. In just one night, Lu Yue killed four ghosts, and Zhang Yaling also loaded a basket with small bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other natural treasures...

There was only one thing that puzzled Lu Yue.

These ghosts were all extraordinary beings in their previous lives. It seemed that they escaped from the ruins, but they seemed to have encountered some danger after escaping.

Leading to death in the back mountain and death in the same way.

At daybreak, Zhang Yaling, who strictly adhered to the eight-hour night shift system, refused to work overtime, even in the face of the temptation of mushrooms.

Losing Zhang Yaling is like losing a guide dog.

Lu Yue had no choice but to accompany the other party back into the forest.

As soon as he stepped into the village entrance, Lu Yue felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

There was a noise coming from the front. The village guard named Chu Tian was in tattered clothes, drooling from his mouth, and looked like an idiot.

Jiang Lin and his group anxiously called out Chu Tian's name, but there was no response.

Wasn’t this village guard supposed to have his soul out of his body to investigate the village in the past? How come he ended up in this state after being gone for one night?
When Lu Yue approached, he was secretly shocked.

Because he saw several familiar claw marks on Chu Tian's face.

"Man, gross."

"There is nothing good about men."

"All men deserve to die."

Chu Tian had a dull expression and was muttering to himself.

After saying that, he picked up the axe beside him and started chopping below himself.

Thanks to Shanhai Buliangyue, book friend 20230225064048101, the young master of Liujiabao, and Xuan Yuxie for their monthly tickets.

Today, my reading suddenly plummeted. I guess I will never get a good recommendation position again.

PS: The first 48 chapters were changed. The official gave Lu Yue the title of consultant, which means cooperation, but not joining the official. It is roughly equivalent to the status of the deputy captain, but without power. He is rewarded for solving supernatural events...

My original plan was to cooperate. Maybe there was something wrong with my writing style. It definitely didn’t mean to have one foot in both. I was worried that some readers would be extreme and think that not joining would mean having no contact with the official forever, which was not in line with my outline.

But some readers are right. The protagonist has made contributions and should be given some honor.

One more thing to add. Under the premise of not changing my outline, I will listen to some suggestions, but not others. I hope you understand. I have said too much and I think I will be scolded. I will skip this.
