Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 211 Annual Ginseng
An unknown mountain.
No one knows the exact location of this mountain.
Because it is in the deepest part of the forest.
As far back as they could remember, the villagers knew that they could not set foot in the deepest part of the forest.
There are also some people who are not afraid of death and simply don't believe in superstition. They think that the resources in the deep forest where no one has ever set foot must be richer than those outside, and as a result, they never return.
Even if they managed to come back, they would be crazy and die mysteriously within a few days.
Therefore, the villagers living around here never dare to go into the deep forest.
Manager Liu and his group were originally roasting a fire and cooking.
When they were halfway through cooking, the men in black who were sitting at the front entrance of the cave suddenly stood up and walked towards them.
Shopkeeper Liu thought they were hungry, so he said, "Brother, are you hungry? The meal is not ready yet. Please wait a while."
It's really strange. For the past half month, these men in black have been ignoring them. They don't even respond to ten questions they ask, and they always stand far away from them.
Only when they are lost and can't find their way will they see these men in black come looking for them.
The man in black came and stood in front of them. His eyes, which originally had some color in them, now became very empty, and he looked at Manager Liu with a stiff expression.
"Time is up."
The sound was like a craftsman sawing a tree with a saw, unbearable to the ears.
This sound doesn't sound like a human sound.
Shopkeeper Liu didn't understand what the man in black meant and looked at him blankly.
"What? What did you say? What time is it?"
The others also raised their heads and looked at the man in black with a confused look on their faces.
"Time is up."
"Time is up......"
"Time is up."
The man in black kept repeating what he had just said.
It felt like their ears were being tortured, and Manager Liu and the others' ears were buzzing.
The man with a matchmaker mole on his face scratched his ear and said, "What time is it? Can you tell me more clearly? Or is it time for you to eat? Then go ahead."
"That's right, we're not running around." The man with a big face and thick lips muttered.
The other man glanced at the man in black and said, "Manager Liu, could it be that these people saw that we had already arrived and wanted you to pay and leave early?"
When Manager Liu heard this, he felt that it was somewhat possible, otherwise these men in black would not have kept repeating the phrase "time is up".
"Brother, can you leave tomorrow? I'll pay you in the morning. It's too unsafe here at night. I'm sorry to bother you for another night."
"That's right, if you leave tomorrow, we'll give you more money."
The man with a matchmaker mole on his face waved his hand and said very proudly.
However, these men in black did not react at all. Their facial expressions did not change at all, they were very stiff, and they looked at them with empty eyes.
Manager Liu and his men were frightened by the looks of these men in black.
The crackling of the fire was particularly loud in the sudden silence.
Under the dim warm light, Manager Liu and the others saw from those stiff faces...
Those faces were bluish, which was not the normal skin color of human beings.
Manager Liu and the others felt a sudden buzzing in their heads and their faces turned pale.
His body was cold and he couldn't move, his eyes were wide open.
The man in black standing in front pulled a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's time, go in and find ginseng."
This time the sound wasn't as bad.
In an instant, Manager Liu saw the man in black's face turn red.
Shopkeeper Liu and the others blinked their eyes, shook their heads vigorously, and looked up at the face of the man in black again.
The face is rosy.
It seems they were mistaken.
"Can't ginseng be found during the day? How can we find ginseng in the middle of the night?" The man with a matchmaker's mole on his face rolled his eyes and turned his head away from the man in black.
He hugged himself tightly with his hands, shrunk his nose, and moved to the front of the fire.
It was strange, why did he feel even colder after these people came?
The man in black still had a smile on his face, "Thousand-year-old ginseng only comes out at night."
These words sounded as if the ginseng had become a spirit, running all over the floor.
The man with a matchmaker mole on his face muttered to himself and didn't react for a moment.
"Thousand-year-old ginseng!"
Shopkeeper Liu frowned and said, "Are you saying that this ginseng has become a spirit?"
There is a saying among the people that the longer ginseng is stored, the easier it is for it to become a spirit, so when picking ginseng, you have to tie a red rope around the roots to prevent it from running away.
Could it be that this thousand-year-old ginseng has really become a spirit?
“Thousand-year-old ginseng!!!” The man with a matchmaker’s mole on his face finally reacted and jumped up from the ground.
Thousand-year-old ginseng!
There really is a thousand-year-old ginseng!!!
If this is sent to the capital to be presented to the emperor, wouldn't his official rank be promoted?
"The time has come, the thousand-year-old ginseng will be out." The man in black spoke word by word.
Every word was irritating the nerves of Manager Liu and the others.
"Then let's go quickly. What if the ginseng runs away?" The man with a big face and thick lips also looked excited.
Thousand-year-old ginseng is hard to come by.
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and decided to go in now.
"Let's pack up and go in now."
Without delay, they put out the fire immediately. One of them held a torch and followed the man in black into the cave.
The cave was damp and had an unpleasant smell. There was the sound of dripping water in their ears. I don’t know if it was because they were in the cave, but Manager Liu and the others could always hear some sounds.
It seemed to be whispering in my ear, but when I listened carefully, there was no sound.
"Shopkeeper Liu, did you hear any noise?" The man with a big face came to Shopkeeper Liu and looked around vigilantly.
The light source of the torch is limited and you cannot see the surrounding environment.
"Master Geng, I heard it too, but it should be normal. No one has ever been to this cave. It should be the echo of our footsteps." Manager Liu comforted Master Geng.
Master Geng looked at the man with a matchmaker's mole on his face with a skeptical look and asked, "Master Li, did you hear a voice ringing in your ear?"
"What sound? I didn't hear it." Mr. Li turned his head with a confused look on his face. The firelight distorted Mr. Li's face. Mr. Geng looked at his face and felt something strange in his heart.
Numb all over...
The cave seemed very big, and it took several people half an hour to walk out of the cave.
As soon as they came out, Manager Liu and the others immediately covered their eyes.
I couldn't open my eyes because of the strong light outside the cave.
"What's going on here?" Master Li exclaimed.
