Chapter 157 Caught a Ghost
From the bushes on the other two sides, one left and one right, there were also figures slowly stalking out, forming an angle with the person behind him, blocking his way to death.

"It turns out... Uncle Hu is that ghost? You think that although my daughter is looking at it openly, why do you have to use the power of ghosts and gods? You don't know. You scared little Azhi enough last night, how brave you are." The little girl is crying!" Yan Wanwan broke a branch from the tree, squeezed it in her hand and shook it, looking at the person in front of her with her back facing her, and said with a smile, but there was something in her clear eyes. A little bit of thin ice is floating, but there is no smile at all.

"That's not right! Didn't Uncle Hu say to abide by the precepts of the ancestors and never step over the Yingluo Gorge? Why did he appear here now? Oh no... Uncle Hu must have been killed by the mountain ghost Have you caught it? Right now, you really have become a little ghost under the seat of the mountain ghost for him to send, so last night, you didn't even know Azhi, and scared her to tears?" Yan Wanwan said with a look of horror, then The expression was a bit exaggerated, which made Shao Yu sneer, as if she disliked her bad acting.

Yan Wanwan heard the sarcasm from the snort, and immediately rolled her eyes.

Hearing Yan Wanwan's words, Hu Yonggui finally showed two points of despair on his face, "Miss Yan, you don't need to provoke me with words, you may have seen through me a long time ago, so you will not be surprised at the moment, but I thought I was hiding something deep, but in reality I was nothing more than a clown."

"However, I'm a little confused. I think I'm cautious. Where did the two of you find out? Could it be because of the things I did after entering the mountain that aroused your suspicion?" Hu Yonggui asked, his eyes falling on Yan Yan. Wan Wan and Yan Zheng clearly excluded Shao Yu from the "two".

Yan Wanwan and Yan Zheng looked at each other, and Yan Wanwan smiled and said, "At first, we only suspected that the person who led the way for the court 13 years ago was also a person with knowledge of mountains, and he might even be a member of your Hu family. After all, back then, your family The people said that they are all dead, but the corpses have long been mutilated, whether they are dead, or whether they are all dead, probably only you... No, maybe even you don’t know.”

"But at first it was just suspicious, until the night when I was staying at your house, Ah Zhi casually mentioned that Grandma Hu was seriously ill, and the medicines she used seemed to cost a lot of money. I was the most curious person, so I went to have a look. Seeing the medicine that the grandma of the Hu family took, I was really shocked. The medicine that grandma of the Hu family usually drinks contains several rare and precious medicinal materials. My husband roughly estimated the price. It costs seven or eight taels of silver, and the medicine is changed every two days. If you drink it for a long time, it will cost more than 100 taels for the medicine of the Hu family's grandma. Even if your Hu family has assets and relies on the ability to know , It is absolutely impossible to find rare medicinal materials in the mountains to afford such an expense."

"So...you must have something else to gain." Speaking of this, the smile on Yan Wanwan's face was completely hidden on his lips.

"It turns out...you have suspected me since then." Hu Yonggui smiled wryly.

"Uncle Hu is kind-hearted, and he took good care of us along the way. You deliberately lured a snake to bite Shao Yu, just to let us know the dangers in the mountains and retreat in spite of difficulties. We didn't know what to do, and defied uncle's good intentions." Yan Zheng bowed in Hu Yonggui's direction.

Shao Yu was a little surprised, was it because of Uncle Hu that he was bitten by a snake?

The expression on Hu Yonggui's face became even more bitter, "I didn't expect you to even discover this."

"It's just a guess." Yan Zheng's tone was still gentle and modest, "I think the medicine bag that Uncle Hu gave us is different from the one that Shao Yu gave. Ours can really avoid snakes and insects, but Shao Yu's can attract snakes and insects. Therefore, after the accident, you will rush to take back the medicine bag, just to destroy the evidence."

"Uncle Hu saw that my wife was nervous about Shao Yu, so he started to attack him, thinking that if he was injured, we might go home."

Yan Zheng spoke eloquently, but Shao Yu felt depressed when he heard it. He might not only see that Yan Wanwan was nervous about him, but also that he was the weakest link among them, so he was the one who picked him, right?Shao Yu really didn't know whether he should be angry that others thought he was weaker, or whether he should be angry that he had to admit that he was the weakest among them.

"Yes, I just didn't expect that you would still not change your mind." Hu Yonggui glanced at Shao Yu and sighed.

"So Uncle Hu took advantage of the situation and agreed to let Azhi stay and take care of Shao Yu, thinking that he could stop one by one. As for me and my wife, you can figure out a way later. Moreover, I am afraid that Azhi didn't know Hu Uncle's plan, therefore, Uncle Hu also wanted to keep Azhi, but he was afraid of being careless, if Azhi was allowed to take risks with us, it would be bad." Yan Zheng's tone was flat, his eyes were clear and he glanced at the few people, obviously It was a guess, but it seemed that he was watching all of this and saw it clearly.

"It's just that I didn't think that what my wife and I were looking for would not be changed no matter what. Uncle Hu had no choice, so he had to think of another way."

The other people present already knew what this other idea was. Shao Yu was silent, looking at Yan and Yan who had calm faces, and at Hu Azhi who was crying uncontrollably, and pursed his lips tightly. Horn, all these things, he was belatedly aware of them.

"It's just that Uncle Hu probably didn't expect that A Zhi and Shao Yu would chase after them regardless of their illness. However, it would be easier for you to do things when A Zhi came." If it wasn't for A Zhi's help, How could this "hell" thing come true so easily?
When Hu Yonggui heard the bitterness on his face, he became even more serious, "Actually, I also know that pretending to be a ghost to scare people is not a good way, but there is really no other way. Although Wuhui Mountain is huge, if you continue to walk inside, It is inevitable that something will happen. Since you have already exposed everything, I have nothing to worry about. You guys, listen to my advice, don't go on, turn around! Otherwise, it may be too late." Hu Yonggui's face was dignified, his tone It is more sincere.

Yan Zheng's eyes darkened, and he said softly, "There are no mountain ghosts in Wuhui Mountain, right?" It was Hu Yonggui who asked this question, but Hu Yonggui pursed his lips and did not respond.Yan Zheng has already heard the answer from his silence. "However... there must be something more terrifying than mountain ghosts in this mountain, which makes Uncle Hu so afraid. But... what is it?"

As Yan Zheng asked, the eyes of several people also fell on Hu Yonggui, including Hu Azhi.

Hu Yonggui rolled his throat twice, and it took a long time for a wry smile to appear, "I don't know. As Miss Yan guessed, 20 years ago, my father and brothers were all dead. But it wasn’t until 13 years ago that the imperial court came and came in and out of the mountain freely. After a large number of officers and soldiers withdrew and the weather calmed down, I found an opportunity and sneaked into the mountain.” Although there are officers and soldiers at each mountain pass The guards were not removed until three years later, but he is from the Hu family, so there are plenty of ways to enter the mountain.
