Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 98 Lishan Town

...

After simply bandaging the wound on his body, Li Mu picked up the crutches that fell on the ground to support his body and continued to rush towards Lishan Town.

He didn't have much zhenqi left in his body at this time, and he was already hungry after this hard work, and he didn't have much strength in his body, so now he was just supporting his body to go on the road.

It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down. It took Li Mu more time and energy to go down the mountain than he did to go up the mountain. In addition, his body is weak now, and his traveling speed is much slower.

As soon as he arrived in Lishan Town, Li Mu's embarrassed appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.

He is now wrapped with cloth strips on his body and hands, the cloth strips soaked in blood are still a little black, his hair is messy, his face is covered with dust, his clothes are torn into strips in many places, and he is standing in the town with his self-made crutches The mouth is particularly eye-catching.

"Didn't you, young man, come from Banjialing?"

Among the people watching Li Mu, an old man sized him up and asked.

"Bantam Ridge?"

Li Mu didn't know where the Bantiao Ridge he was talking about was, so he looked at him puzzled and asked.

"It's the mountain in the back! It looks like a human foot from a distance, and the mountain is not high, so I gave it short feet."

The old man pointed behind Li Mu, and then explained to him, but Li Mu turned his head and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, from here, the outline of the mountain he came to was like a foot on the ground, and then he suddenly realized.

"That's right, that's where I came from!"

After confirming that Banjiaoling is the mountain he passed by, Li Mu nodded and answered the old man.

The look in the old man's eyes changed instantly, he was shocked and puzzled, as if he didn't understand how he could come down the mountain alive.

"You... didn't encounter anything on the mountain?"

"Uh, old man, what do you mean?"

"Oh, it's the mountain ghost! That mountain has been haunted by mountain ghosts recently, and no one who walked that way has come back alive!"

"You young man is really brave, to dare to go this way!"

The old man lamented Li Mu's boldness, but he didn't know that Li Mu didn't know anything about Aigaoling, otherwise he would rather take a detour.

"I'm from another place, so I don't know there's something wrong with this mountain, but I haven't encountered a mountain ghost, but I've met a tiger that has become a spirit!"

"My whole body is injured because of it!"

Li Mu found a place to sit down. His body, which was so hungry and thirsty and had lost too much blood, couldn't bear it anymore. If he stood up again, he would probably fall to the ground the next moment.

"Hey! The tiger has become a spirit? Then you are amazing! You can escape from the tiger's mouth."

When the old man heard that the tiger on the mountain had turned into a spirit, he stared at Li Mu with wide eyes. He was shocked that he survived from the tiger's mouth. Tigers are inherently terrifying, so how fierce would a spirited tiger be!

Residents of these towns have never seen a tiger become a spirit, it is a folklore handed down from generation to generation, and they all surrounded Li Mu when they saw a tiger that became a spirit.

"How big is the spirited tiger?"

"That must be as big as a big buffalo!"

"Fart, a buffalo is only as big as a house, I guess!"

"Just kidding, where is it hiding in such a big house? Wasn't it discovered a long time ago?"

The scene was chaotic for a while, except for the first question asked to Li Mu, they were asked and answered by themselves.

"Hey, you said that this fine tiger was caught to make wine, so you can't...hehe!"

When a man with red cheeks and nose mentioned this, he thought about it and laughed. Everyone present seemed to understand what he meant by coincidence, and suddenly the topic went off track, but the old man looked at these in a bad mood at first. said the man.

"Catch? Go grab one and see? Are you grabbing him or it grabbing you? It probably won't fit your teeth!"

"There are so many people, and no one said to show the backhand to see the wound, junior, you go to my house, and I will give you medicine."

The old man pointed at Li Mu's injury and blamed these people. He was still injured and only gossiped around others. No one thought that he needed to heal his injury, completely forgetting that he was the first person to stop Li Mu.

"Thank you, old man, I can walk without help."

Seeing that the old man was coming to help him, Li Mu quickly signaled that he could do it, so he followed the old man to his house, followed by a group of people eating melons.

"Tsk, your wound is really deep!"

The old man's home was not far away, and he arrived within a few steps. When he took off the cloth strip in his hand, he looked at the scars on it and sighed in surprise.

Li Mu was in a hurry at the time, and the scratch on his hand was a little deep. Now the blood on the wound had solidified, the old man took out the medicine powder from home and sprinkled it lightly on it.

"Has the wound been bandaged? Brother, there is some food here. When you are better, come and eat something."

While Li Mu was bandaging, a person leaned in from outside the door, looked at Li Mu and the old man and asked.

Li Mu was very moved by the enthusiasm of the residents in this town. They actually bandaged up a stranger like him and offered to give him food.

After Li Mu bandaged the wound, he came out of the house, and there was indeed a meal on the table outside.

"Brother, you eat first, we have already notified the mayor, and the mayor may come to understand the situation with you!"

The person who brought him food just now said to Li Mu, because Li Mu was the only person who came from Bianjiaoling in the past few days, so everyone in the town was curious about the spirited tiger he mentioned on the mountain.

Before, they thought that there were mountain ghosts in Anjiaoling, and they organized people to check it before, but they didn't even see the appearance of the mountain ghosts, and after losing a few people, the mayor ordered the road to be closed, and no one could Take this mountain road, but change to another road that is farther up.

Li Mu was the first person to come down from the mountain alive after the road was closed, which gave them hope for reopening the mountain road, otherwise the road would remain closed, and the impact on the town would be quite large.

After Li Mu had eaten his fill, the weakness of his body finally eased, and at this time a group of people came outside, headed by an old man with gray hair in fancy clothes but well-groomed.

"Mayor!"

People in the yard stood up and greeted the old man as he came over.

"Is this young man from Banjialing?"

The mayor looked at Li Mu, and then asked the old man. After the old man nodded for confirmation, he walked up to look at Li Mu carefully and asked.

"Can the younger generation tell me about the situation on the mountain?"

The mayor looked at Li Mu with some hope in his eyes. Li Mu organized his words and told the mayor of Lishan one by one about the tiger spirit and the ghost he encountered last night.

"There are still ghosts! You must be an ordinary person if you can come down from the mountain in your later life?"

The mayor glanced at the iron sword on Li Mu's waist, and asked meaningfully.

"To be honest, I am a disciple of Maoshan, and this time I was ordered by my master to deliver a letter to an elder."

Li Mu cupped his hands towards the mayor and replied, and the mayor's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Mu was a descendant of Maoshan.

"It turned out to be an expert from Maoshan, so please ask the boss, is there a way to get rid of this tiger spirit?"

"This Bantam Ridge is an extremely important thoroughfare in our town. Ever since there was a problem with the Bantam Ridge, the caravans outside thought it was too troublesome to take a detour. Either they diverted to other places, or they increased the fare with us. This tiger If the essence is not eliminated for a day, this road will not be reopened for a day!"
