old scheming

The trees in the black pine forest are densely packed, one after the other, and the one with the largest distance between the two trees can only allow one person to pass through. For some reason, Su Mu thought that if the tree in front of him broke in the middle, he would not smash it without moving. to himself, because the tree next to him will block it for him.

The pine needles and cypress leaves are layered on top of each other. It is estimated that it is already noon, but the sun still does not shine in, and the forest is extremely cold.

Liu Dawan heard something tricky from Mr. Huacun's mouth, and walked towards the grandpa and grandson in disbelief, looking down at the ground, surprisingly quiet.

There was only the rustling of pine needles in the forest, it was so quiet that Su Mu felt that his breathing was unnecessary.Suddenly, Liu Dawan knelt on the ground with a plop, crying loudly.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Su Mu took two steps and saw a piece, no, a pool, no, one, not at all... Su Mu was at a loss for words, his stomach was overwhelmed, and he didn't know how to describe the lump in front of him.

The blood-red meat balls may have been pecked by eagles, the ground was damp, and many maggots crowded around inside, even chirping.The one in front of Liu Dawan's eyes is still a little complete, and the outline of a baby can be vaguely seen. From head to toe, it has been peeled off cleanly, including the skin on each finger. A bloody mass of flesh.

Su Mu vaguely remembered that in the summer vacation of his freshman year, Fatty Wang, who was studying medicine, talked eloquently, saying that the baby's internal organs were soaked in formalin, and the opening in the stomach of the corpse was like a switch. Close it again... The female professor's hobby is to peel off the blood vessels in the corpse one by one without interruption, dry them and mount them in a photo frame for collection.

Su Mu only felt a little disgusted when he heard it at the time, but what he saw in front of him was a kind of fear that sent a chill down his spine.

The gangsters are outrageous, how can strangers just sit and wait for death!

There was silence in the forest, Liu Dawan's crying gradually weakened, he pulled out the pink silk handkerchief from his arms, and covered the lump of flesh and blood, which was his daughter's face.

"My condolences, Ye Sheng."

Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Chief Hana came over and patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.He ordered Hua Xiangrong again, saying: "Rongrong, take the corpse back, be quicker with your hands and feet, it won't be good if you disturb the Goddess of the Mountain."

"Mountain God Empress?"

"Hush! That empress is not easy to worship. She basically responds to every request, but if you accidentally touch her reverse scales, I heard that you will definitely cramp and skin your whole family before you stop." Hua Xiangrong said to help her Grandpa went to sort out the corpse together.

Su Mu looked at Hua Xiangrong, who had a normal face, he felt chills even for a man, but she could be as calm as Miss Xin Yi.

He couldn't help feeling that this might be a bug in Chang Ge's design of the game. He only cared about the coolness of the protagonist, and the cannon fodder, especially the female cannon fodder, was all to advance the plot of the game.

If things go on like this, if one day sees a woman grabbing a toad with her bare hands, Su Mu feels that she will probably be surprised.

When Mr. Huacun and his grandson were tidying up the corpse, Su Mu opened his palm, and a jade earring was lying on his palm. Since he had just picked it up on the ground, there was still a lot of dirt on it.

The jade body is transparent and exquisitely carved, and one can tell it's worth a lot at first glance. Su Mu always thinks he's seen this pendant somewhere before.

He met here, a woman, a wealthy family, big ears, double chin, fat, holding a fly swatter...

Thinking of this, Su Mu's heart seemed to jump in his throat, he suddenly clenched the pendant in his hand, speechless.

She thought that her husband's family was rich, and she had no culture, so she was a bit like a rude local tyrant in the modern population, but she didn't want to do such cruel things, so what was her motive?

"Our great writer, Lu Xun, who deceived hundreds of millions of middle school students, once mentioned a term—human blood steamed bun." Su Mu thought about it, and only thought of one possibility.

So Su Mu pretended to chat with the village head, and tentatively said: "Mr. Hua, I went to deliver Guan Gong's portrait to Wang Yuanwai a few days ago, and I smelled a very fragrant herbal smell in his house. I think it was your prescription. ?”

"That's natural." The village chief was very proud. "Except for me, there is really no successful doctor in ten villages and eight villages."

"I can see it." Su Mu flattered: "I don't know what the prescription is?"

"He was hesitating that day, and he only said that he had insomnia and headaches, so I just prescribed him a prescription for calming the nerves." The village chief felt a little strange after speaking, so he asked Su Mu, "Why are you asking this?"

Su Mu thought for a while, if he said he also suffered from insomnia and dreamy, Su Guyao would probably expose him on the spot, so he made up a slightly more reliable one, "Haha! This junior thinks the fragrance of the medicine is refreshing and refreshing, so I want to do it too. One to eat."

Sure enough, the old village head blew his beard and stared, "Hmph! That medicine can be eaten indiscriminately!"

Su Mu laughed dryly twice, but his throat tightened slightly.When did he smell the fragrance of medicine at Yuanwai's house, but it was just nonsense, and he didn't expect that his vague guess turned out to be true.

Wang Yuanwai suffers from a strange disease, and he can only be cured by using medicine like a baby... Perhaps, he is not as ignorant and cruel as "Hua Laoshuan". He is afraid of retribution, so he asks someone to draw Guan Gong at home.

Seeing the animal skin Miss Xin Yi was holding, Jin Xiao rang the alarm. As Su Mu thought, she was just a bug of Chang Ge, so what happened to the animal skin in her hand?What kind of person is her eldest sister who loves civet cats?

At this moment, Head Hua and Hua Xiangrong had almost cleaned up the corpses, and they were wrapping them up in white cloth.

Suddenly, a thought made Su Mu's hair stand on end: Miss Xin Yi gave Uncle Zhou really... an animal skin?

The five of them got ready and were about to go back. The head of Huacun, his father and grandson, were in front, Liu Dawan was in the middle, Su Guyao was next, and Su Mu was at the end.

Perhaps it was because the people in the same group were walking in front, Su Mu always felt that someone was following them and staring at them, but when he turned around, there was nothing.

As he was walking, Su Mu heard a "click". He looked up and found that none of the four people in front of him responded.He asked strangely: "Did you hear any sound?"

"Yes, I have!"

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little panicked before, but everyone heard it.

"Isn't it just the little squirrel jumping around looking for pine cones!" Only Ting Rongrong continued.

"No, it seems to be the sound of a branch breaking." Su Mu tried hard to find resonance among his peers.

"That's normal! The ground here is full of fallen dry branches. It's normal to step on them!" Rong Rong replied, not forgetting to tease Su Mu, "Big brother must have been frightened by this scene!"

Su Mu wanted to say something again, but men like to save face in front of women, Hua Xiangrong made him feel embarrassed when the little girl teased him for being timid, but he really felt that the noise was from above his head .

He shook his head, maybe he was really nervous, so he had no choice but to comfort himself and move on.

Suddenly, I felt that Rui Xiao tightened, almost strangling his wrist, and then there was a "click".Su Mu raised his head in an instant, only to see the bucket-like thick tree trunk snap off in the middle, and hit Su Guyao's head straight.

Before it was too late, Su Mu jumped, threw Su Guyao to the ground, and held him in his arms.

From the back to the front of the chest, Su Mu experienced the difficulty of making a living by crushing the boulder in his chest, and a fishy sweetness rose in his throat, and he didn't know anything.

***

"System, are you there?"

"Where are you here! Dear! Is there anything I can do for you?"

"What if I hang up in the mission?"

"Kiss, it's okay! It can be revived with blood."

Su Mu was excited for a while, "So I now have the indestructible body of the Immortal King Kong!"

"Honey, there are side effects!"

"What side effects?"

"I don't know yet! We'll have to experiment to find out! Dear."

Damn, I’m just a test case, Su Mu was furious, “I thought the system was changed after hearing your strong customer service attitude of a certain treasure! The results are all the same.”

"That's right! Dear, we are serviced by divisions, and I am the service system of Black Pine Forest. This will ensure that we provide all-round services and there will be no lag problems! Five-star praise will also give you random gifts. !"

"Really?"

"Really! Dear."

"Hehe, bad review!"

"Honey, don't do this!"

……

Su Mu felt that he was hit by a big tree, as if he had traveled back to the winter when he was eight years old.

It was a rare winter in the imperial capital, and it snowed heavily for several days in a row. My mother bought the thickest down jacket in the mall and wrapped him up like a bear.

After copying Fatty Wang's homework, he happily walked home. At that time, he didn't know what a serious illness was or what pain was.

Chang Ge squatted outside his villa, with a layer of snow on his hair and eyebrows, like an old man with a white beard.

"Why don't you go in? Aren't you cold?"

"Mother Zhang went home to see her grandson, and the keys were taken away by her parents."

"Oh! How pitiful." Xiao Su Mu took off his down jacket and put it on Chang Ge's body, and went home foolishly.

That night, he had a high fever of [-] degrees. That was the first time he had a heart attack since he was a child. Only then did he realize that he was different from other children. He could not play snowball fights with them, or even take physical education classes.

What made him most angry was little Changge, who bought two buckets of ice cream for him before his fever subsided, causing him to enter the emergency room again.

At that time, Xiao Su Mu always thought that he was deliberately hurting himself, but now that he thinks about it, maybe he just wanted to buy something to express his gratitude!

"It's really stupid, just help me copy two more homework when I was a child!"

Su Mu looked at little Changge beside the hospital bed, feeling anxious.

……

Su Mu didn't know how long he had been in such a daze, he felt that his fingertips were always being pricked by needles, and his chest was hurting against his back.Finally, he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

Realized that he was still Su Muzhe, still in that thatched hut.

Seeing him waking up, the people around him stood up abruptly, ran out with a thump, and then walked back slowly, holding a bowl of medicine in both hands, and the full overflowed into his hand.

"Old Man Hua... Hua, Grandpa Hua asked you to wake up and drink this bowl of medicine."

Su Guyao kept his head down until Su Mu took the medicine.

"Hiss! It's hot!" Su Mu sat up with difficulty, and as soon as he took the medicine bowl, it became extremely hot, and quickly put it on the bed.

It was so hot just after touching it, so Su Guyao brought it over... Sure enough, Su Mu saw his hand hanging by his side trembling slightly, and the overflowing soup burned his fingers red.

"You..." Before Su Mu's words came out, Su Guyao rushed to the front and said, "I made chicken soup, and I'll serve it for you."

"Master."

The last sound was so low that it was almost inaudible, making Su Mu think it was his own illusion.
