Taboo Master

Chapter 2 Mr. Ma

I realized that his voice was wrong, so I ran to the front to have a look, and my scalp felt numb, and I saw a pit dug by someone in the grass in front of me, and there was a decayed coffin in the pit Well, the coffin lid was open, but due to the distance and angle, it was impossible to see what was inside, but that putrid smell came from inside the coffin.

After all, the children in the mountains are still bold. The three of us looked at each other, curiosity was greater than fear, and we walked forward at the same time, wanting to see what happened.

When I got closer, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I looked down and found the clue soon.

The excavated soil next to this barren grave exudes a disgusting smell, but it is mixed with the dampness of the soil. It is obvious that this barren grave has just been dug up not long ago!

An inexplicable chill suddenly hit my heart, I just wanted to stop them, but it was already a step too late, Fatty Wang was the first to go to the grave, and looked inside.

"what"

Fatty Wang suddenly let out a horrifying cry, and staggered back. Liangzi saw it almost at the same time, but it was worse than Fatty Wang. He sat down on the ground by the grave in fright, opened his mouth wide in horror, and couldn't utter a word. .

Seeing this situation, I hurried up, covering my nose with one hand, trying to pull Ryoko up from the ground with the other, and left here quickly.

But just when I ran to pull Liangzi, the strong curiosity made me unavoidable, and I subconsciously glanced into the coffin.
At this glance, the cold hairs all over my body stood on end, my heart was beating wildly, and a strong sense of fear instantly enveloped my heart. I wanted to pull Liangzi, but even my legs went limp, and I sat on the ground with a thud !

In the coffin, there was only a human head that had begun to rot, and a shrunken thigh, exposed there. The human head was covered with rotten and blackened pits, and the messy gray hair seemed vaguely familiar.

My eyes subconsciously passed over the shrunken leg again, and I suddenly thought of someone, but before I could confirm who the dead body with only the head and thighs was, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

"You little kids, why are you running here in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that the mountain ghost will kill you?"

I suddenly turned around and saw a tall man in his 40s standing behind me, wearing a double-breasted coat, disheveled hair, thin body, and two knives hidden in his gloomy eyes.

This person spoke in a strange tone, gloomy and hoarse, but there was a terrifying scar on his face, which slashed from the left forehead to the right cheek, making his face look extremely hideous.

However, as soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart. Why does this person seem familiar?

When Fatty Wang saw this person, he seemed to have seen a savior. He was greatly relieved, and ran over and shouted: "Mr. There is a grave dug here, scared to death.”

This is the legendary Mr. Ma?I couldn't help but looked up at him a few more times, but still felt familiar.

But how could he be here?
This Mr. Ma only glanced at Fatty Wang, and then cast his eyes on me, as if he was inadvertently, but as if answering my inner question, he said indifferently: "I just happened to dig herbs here, and I heard your ghost screaming, so I came here Take a look, it’s all right, it’s just a grave, everyone is dead, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Wang Pang said: "But, that person only has his head and one thigh left, and all other parts are gone."

Mr. Ma didn't take it seriously, but walked towards Liangzi and me, and said blankly: "If it's gone, it'll be gone. People will die sooner or later. There's nothing to make a fuss about."

As he spoke, he grabbed both of our hands and pulled us up.

However, when he was holding my palm, his expression suddenly changed, he turned his hand and grabbed my wrist, lowered his head and stared at me with a strange brilliance in his eyes.

Mr. Ma firmly pinched my wrist with only three fingers. The strength was astonishing. My wrist hurt for a while, but I couldn't break free. I struggled and shouted: "What are you doing holding me, let me go!" .”

He was startled, then let go of his hand suddenly, I rubbed my wrist, took two steps back, looked at him at a loss, but saw a strange smile on his face, and said to us: "Come with me, I'll take you down the mountain."

Mr. Ma dragged out a woven bag from the grass behind him, and carried it on his back. It seemed a bit heavy, and it was bulging inside, and he didn't know what it contained.

It's just that a very weird smell came out of the bag, and I frowned. This smell is a bit spicy and has a herbal scent, but there is a faint smell of corruption mixed in the middle.

Mr. Ma turned his head and left. The three of us didn't know the way, so we hurriedly followed. Now getting out of the mountain is the most important thing.

After walking for a while, Wang Fatty followed behind Mr. Ma, but he didn't dare to get too close, and asked flatteringly, "Uncle Ma, what are you carrying?"

"This is my medicine." Mr. Ma said without looking back.

"There are so many, it took a long time to pick them, right?"

Mr. Ma didn't speak this time, he just hummed with his nose.

Fatty Wang couldn't stop staring at the woven bag, and asked as he walked, "I heard from my dad that Uncle Ma has to go up the mountain to collect herbs for a few days every month, isn't it very hard?"

"They all said that Uncle Ma is amazing, he is a genius doctor"

"Uncle Ma, are you alone? Is there any help at home?"

Fatty Wang kept asking, but after he rambled on for a long time, what he answered was still a meaningless nasal sound.

I can already see that Wang Fatty is trying to seize the opportunity to take the initiative to get close, and I wish Mr. Ma could accept him as his apprentice. You know, Mr. Ma's magic medicine can be sold for a lot of money.

However, Mr. Ma was obviously not interested in him, and was quickly annoyed by his chatter. He stopped suddenly, took out three small pills from his arms, handed them to us respectively, and said with a blank face: "This It’s medicinal candy, very sweet, I’ll give it to you, the mountain is high and the road is far away, it will give you strength after eating it.”

Both Wang Fatty and Liangzi were overjoyed. In their eyes, this Mr. Ma was like a living fairy. The candy given by his old man, let alone medicinal candy, was there any reason not to eat it?

The two medicine candies were put into their mouths respectively, but I held them in my hand, with some hesitation.

Immediately, Mr. Ma turned his eyes to me, suddenly showed a very kind expression, and said to me with a strange tone in his voice: "They all ate it, why don't you eat it? This is a good thing, I never take it out selling."

Fatty Wang and Liangzi also urged me: "Eat it quickly, it's really sweet. Uncle Ma gave it to me. It's a good thing."

I couldn't refuse, but I felt an inexplicable resistance and disgust towards this medicine in my heart, so I had to throw the medicine candy into my mouth, but pressed it with my tongue, then raised my head and smiled and said, "I took it, thank you, Uncle Ma." .”

Mr. Ma's eyes stayed on my face for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was smiling, and the huge scar on his face squirmed, which made people feel horrified.

He turned his head slowly and continued walking forward.

But when he turned his head, Wang Pang and Liangzi didn't notice, I secretly spit out the medicine candy and stuffed it into my trouser pocket.

On the tongue, there is an indescribable taste, it is indeed very sweet, after careful aftertaste, but there is a strange taste, numb, astringent and sour, just like the schisandra in this mountain, taste it again, and suddenly feel a fishy smell The smell, and then a nausea surged up in his throat like a flood.

Fatty Wang and Liangzi didn't seem to react at all, and walked happily in front.

I endured it and followed them without saying a word. I had already made up my mind that I would give this so-called medicinal candy to my grandpa when I got back, and let him identify what it was.

However, after walking not far, Fatty Wang and Liangzi suddenly fell to the ground one after the other, twitched twice, rolled their eyes, and then stopped moving.

I was taken aback and didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that this mysterious Mr. Ma gave us poison? !
Mr. Ma suddenly turned his head, with a sinister smile on his face, how could he still have the kind look just now!

In a panic, I was quick to think, and imitated the appearance of the two of them, rolling my eyes up and lying on the ground.

At the same time, I quietly reached out and squeezed the purse hanging on my chest.
But immediately, my mind was also confused for a while, and my consciousness gradually lost.

In a trance, I seemed to hear Mr. Ma's grin.

"Hey hey hey, this is really a narrow road to Yuanjia."
