Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 183 177. Strange News in Zhangshan
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Xiao Liuzi was already on edge and extremely excited. Now, seeing this scene that was beyond his understanding, he was so frightened that he dared not continue fighting.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Xiao Liuzi threw the axe and bamboo basket in his hands to the ground, and rushed out using his hands and feet, groping his way down the mountain.

There was heavy fog, and it seemed difficult for the other party to track Xiao Liuzi, so there were no pursuers. However, Xiao Liuzi was still terrified at the moment, so how could he have any ability to analyze?

He could only stumble down the mountain with a glimmer of desire to survive in his heart. He bumped into things many times due to panic and was covered in bruises, but after all, he had been a woodcutter for many years and was quite familiar with the mountain paths, so he was not in danger of losing his life.

It took Xiao Liuzi almost two hours to climb the mountain, but less than an hour to get down. When he got down, the fog had dissipated a little. Although it was still difficult to see people in the distance, it was still no problem for him to have a normal conversation.

When the villagers saw Xiao Liuzi, covered in wounds and mud, they rushed forward to support him and asked what had happened.

But Xiao Liuzi was so frightened that he could not speak and could only stammer. In addition, when he returned to the safety of the village, he unconsciously let out the breath that supported him in his chest, so he simply rolled his eyes and fainted.

He was unconscious for several days, and even had a high fever and became seriously ill.

After several days, Xiao Liuzi slowly woke up and told his fellow villagers what he had seen and heard on the mountain that day. Everyone thought that Xiao Liuzi had inhaled miasma and was seeing hallucinations, or that he had mistaken passers-by for ghosts.

After all, if it was a mountain spirit or ghost, it would be easy to deal with, but how could a wooden man move by himself?
However, Xiao Liuzi was frightened to death, thinking that he could not have seen it wrong. He argued with the neighbors about it, and finally everyone agreed to go with Xiao Liuzi to see the scene a few days ago.

On the second day, Xiao Liuzi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, went up Zhang Mountain with several men from the village. They walked along the winding mountain path and came to the place where Xiao Liuzi had cut wood before.

Xiao Liuzi immediately saw the bushes where he had hidden that day, and hurriedly called a few people to go over. Sure enough, they found his logging axe and bamboo basket from the bushes, proving that he had indeed hidden there that day.

However, the other few people searched carefully, but did not find the mask that Xiao Liuzi mentioned. There were footprints on the ground, but they were all in the style of cloth shoes, and they could not make out anything. Xiao Liuzi could only go down the mountain with everyone in disappointment. The matter was also suppressed, and it was just assumed that Xiao Liuzi was dazzled that day and did not mention it.

After listening to the old man's narration, Feng Xi pondered for a moment. From a rational point of view, it was likely that Xiao Liuzi had made a mistake, or that this group of people had some ulterior motives, and it was not impossible that they dressed like this on purpose.

But Feng Xi always felt that it was not that simple. Controlling the wooden man sounded mysterious, but it was not impossible. And there was one detail that Feng Xi paid special attention to, that is, whether it was the old man or the people in the story, they all ignored the man who made the strange whistle.

If those whistles were commands similar to passwords, then everything would make sense...

"This happened a long time ago, right? Why did someone from your area report this to your father... Your Excellency two years ago?"

Guan Yinping on the side didn't have too many thoughts. She just wondered that if such a thing happened a few years ago and there was no evidence at the time, why did they suddenly report to Jiang Ling again two years ago?

"Oh...it's just a coincidence." The old man couldn't help but look bitter when he heard Guan Yinping's question, and answered slowly.

"When you were here two years ago, Jingzhou was quite peaceful, so the village was able to survive by selling medicinal herbs and game. There are many wild animals on Mount Zhang, and they are well-known in the surrounding area, so hunters from other places occasionally come here to hunt for game to supplement their family income.

There are few people in our village, and there are countless animals on Mount Zhang, so we naturally won't stop them. We just told him what happened to Xiao Liuzi and told him to be careful. I guess he didn't listen and went up the mountain with his gear, and even wanted to spend the night there and hunt all night."

The old man shook his head when he said this, as if he thought this ignorant foreign hunter was too bold.

Feng Xi did not say anything. The locals would definitely not be happy about this kind of thing. It was probably that bringing up the old account was mainly to scare the foreign hunter.

As for hunting at night, it is simply because they feel that the journey is too long and it is worthwhile to catch some prey at night. There is nothing surprising about it.

"As a result, this outsider happened to run into an evil spirit!"

The old man suddenly spoke, and raised his voice in a gloomy voice, but Feng Xi and Guan Yinping were not ordinary people. Their expressions remained calm as they watched the old man continue his performance.

Seeing that the two were indifferent, the old man could only smile awkwardly and continue to tell what the foreign hunter had seen and heard.

"According to him, this outsider set a trap in the open space in the middle of the night, hoping to catch some small creatures like rabbits, and he hid in the grass to avoid scaring the prey.

As a result, in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of a woman playing!"

The old man couldn't help shrinking his body when he said this. This is a bit creepy, and it can be regarded as a Chinese horror element. If you are a Chinese, seeing a woman in red in the middle of the night, especially with a veil on her face, you will probably be scared to death.

Nowadays, just hearing a woman laughing in the middle of the night is very scary. No wonder the hunter was so scared that he called the police.

"When the foreign boy heard the laughter, he naturally thought of ghosts and gods, so he hid in the bushes and dared not make a sound. As a result, he saw two figures carrying a sliding bar coming over, and the laughter came from the woman sitting on the sliding bar..."

Guan Yinping frowned when she heard this. Although she was a woman, she was also a warrior. She was naturally displeased to hear such ghost stories and thought that the locals were deliberately making things mysterious.

As for Feng Xi, he had experience in later life, so even if a woman in red was slapped on his face, he wouldn't be too surprised, let alone such ghost legends. It's not like he has never been to a holographic haunted house before.

"Let alone this foreign kid, even the locals like us can't stand this kind of shock, so I don't know if he stepped on a branch or screamed out of fright. Anyway, he told us that he was discovered by the other party, but the other party didn't get angry, but asked him to come forward to answer.

How could this foreign boy dare to disobey the other party at this time? What if this woman is really haunted by a ghost? If he follows her, he may have a chance of survival. So this foreign boy can only run over and kneel on the ground to listen to the questions from the woman on the slide. "

The old man sighed when he said this. Ordinary people like them had to kneel down and talk to the princes and soldiers, let alone ghosts and gods?
