I am Fugui

Chapter 46

When he came to the mountain, Xu Fugui looked down at his feet wearing straw sandals. They were bruised and purple from the cold, and they were pitch black.

He chuckled, he had almost the same appearance in his previous life, even worse, after all, he was still wearing a coarse cloth coat, which kept him warm.

However, cold hands and feet are unavoidable, especially the feet, which are warm and clean only after the feet are scalded at night.

"Young master, look." Laishun took out several washed potatoes from his arms, and even brought a small packet of dried chili on oily paper.

Xu Fugui's eyes lit up, he picked up the hatchet, "Light the fire first."

I found a lot of dried bamboo poles nearby, cut them into one-meter lengths and piled them together, put the dried bamboo leaves of Nanzhu under them and lit them with a match.

The dry bamboo leaves burn rapidly as soon as they are ignited, and the temperature is transmitted, and the dry bamboo is also ignited.

Seeing this, Laishun put the branch he found on top of the dry bamboo.

Although the branches are not easy to ignite, they burn longer, and the temperature of the ash left behind will not dissipate quickly.

The fire became bigger, and there was a crackling sound coming from the fire. Xu Fugui and Laishun put their hands on it, enjoying the fire.

During this period of time, I was really tired. I had almost no free time from morning to night. I got up before dawn to go to the county town to sell. When I came back, I had to cook new lo mei and take care of the field.

Fortunately, there are children from the village to help with the work. Yesterday I dug up all the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the field, and there will be no more work in the field from now on.

At this time, it is the time when the countryside is free.

After warming by the fire for a while, Xu Fugui yawned, and the warm light of the fire actually made him a little drowsy.

"It doesn't matter, just sleep for a while."

Xu Fugui picked up the hatchet, cut a bundle of surrounding hay and placed it next to the fire to make sure that the fire would not ignite the hay.

Then he took a few thick wooden sticks and put them on the fire, folded his hands on his chest, lay down on the fire and closed his eyes, and Laishun did the same.

The cold wind blew the earth, the birds were playing in the forest, and the firelight reflected on their faces. After a while, Laishun's snoring sounded.

This time, I slept in a dark and sweet sleep, I haven't had such a comfortable nap in a long time.

If the fire hadn't been extinguished and the cold wind hit, he still couldn't bear to wake up.

Looking at Laishun, this guy has rough skin and thick flesh, and the fire will not affect his sleep, and the snoring is loud.

Put the dried bamboo and bamboo leaves back into the fire, strike a match, the fire is quickly ignited, and the fire is re-ignited, releasing blazing warmth.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. He fell asleep and completely lost the concept of time. He only knew that it was not dark yet.

In the future, the potatoes he brought along were buried in the fire. Picking up the hatchet, he walked far away and began to chop wood.

All he looked for were branches the size of an adult's arm. After cutting them, he carried them back and put them in the yard to dry. After drying, they became firewood.

"Snapped!"

The sound of cutting down trees awakened Future Shun, he rubbed his eyes and managed to recover.

He also picked up the hatchet, looked at the direction the young master was chopping wood, yawned, and chose to walk up the mountain.

Xu Fugui glanced at him, and Laishun disappeared after a while.

There are no roads in the mountains, but if there are many people walking, the road will naturally become a road.

Wide and narrow can only allow one person to pass through, the right side is close to the hillside, and the left side is lush bushes, which may fall if you are not careful.

For those urbanites, these roads may make their hearts tremble, but for Laishun who grew up in the mountains, at least they will not slow down, not to mention walking on flat ground.

On the mountain of their Xu family, there is a water paulownia tree. This kind of tree is very fire-resistant, and after drying, the smoke from burning is not large, so it is very suitable for heating.

Half of these water paulownia trees are wild, and half are replanted after being felled by the ancestors of the Xu family. They don't usually manage much, and they are almost the same as wild ones.

The trunk of the water tung tree is very thick, and there are many branches extending upwards. A tree can burn for a long time when it is cut back.

After Laishun arrived at the woods, he spat into the palm of his hand, and when he was about to chop, his ears moved suddenly, and his eyes looked outside the boundary of the Xu family.

In that direction, there seemed to be a faint cry of a woman.

Laishun didn't know if it was his own illusion, he calmed down, his scalp became numb in an instant, and he held the hatchet tightly in his hand.

"It's broad daylight, won't I encounter unclean things?"

After Laishun said that, he couldn't help taking two steps back, and the sound of his breathing became heavier.

In their village, almost every place has something to do with dirty things. I don't know if people are too idle to make it up, or if someone really saw it with their own eyes.

Especially on this kind of mountain, it is said that I don’t know how many people were hanged to death, and their ghosts shuttled through the mountains and forests, crying all day long.

At this moment, Lai Shun couldn't help recalling these ghost stories told by the villagers, and his heart became more and more frightened.

But curiosity inevitably emerged at the same time, making him want to go over to find out.

He rolled his eyes, turned his head and ran down the hill, returned to the place where the fire was just now, suppressed his voice and shouted: "Young master, young master, come up quickly."

Xu Fugui stopped his movements and looked at him expectantly, "Did you find the pheasant again?"

Laishun shook his head, "No, you will know when you come up."

Xu Fugui put the branch in his hand on the ground, picked up the hatchet, and walked towards him unhurriedly.

After being accompanied by someone, Laishun's courage came immediately, and he walked in front to lead the way and arrived at the water tung tree forest.

"Master, listen, is there a woman crying?"

After Xu Fugui was reborn, his eyesight and hearing were much better than ordinary people's. He didn't need to say anything, he heard it as soon as he came, and he heard it very clearly.

"Your mother, did you call me here to hear women cry?" Xu Fugui scolded.

This kid must be afraid of meeting ghosts, so I took him to have a look.

In broad daylight, what would a grown man be afraid of? It's not a dark night.

There are fart ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of, some people are scarier than ghosts!
He lived a full hundred years in his previous life, and he didn't believe in ghosts in this world at all. On the contrary, he had seen many people similar to evil ghosts, especially during the time when the wind was blowing, all kinds of minotaur ghosts appeared.

Laishun touched his bald head, and said with a chuckle: "Master, let's go, let's go and see which girl is crying, it's just scary in broad daylight."

"Let's go, maybe it's your kid's marriage."

Xu Fugui took a step forward, and Laishun ran in front of him, "Master, I'm going to find out the way, if there is a ghost, let him suck my yang energy, you run quickly."

"Tch, if there is a female ghost, we two brothers will deal with her directly, and let her know what it means to be sinister."
