The three brothers seemed to have long been accustomed to spending the night in the mountains.
They used a hatchet to cut out several slots in the tree, wrapped them with ropes, and made a simple hammock, which was just right for them to put their bodies in the tree without falling off.
Come down.
In the camp, a total of eight tents were set up.
Ten followers were paired up in pairs, occupying five of them, and the old Taoist priest occupied one.
Shi Xuanhe and Granny Gu took one, and I had one by myself.
After the distribution was completed, I felt a little strange.
Those ten followers were all virgins.
Is it really okay if men and women live together like this?
I can accept all of this, close the tent, and they can do whatever they want, but it's a bit weird for Shi Xuanhe and Granny Gu to be in the same tent.
The tent is not big, and is standard for two people.
In other words, it is just right for two people to lie in side by side.
My whole body goes numb when I think of those things on the ghost mother-in-law.
I am really curious as to how Shi Xuanhe is going to spend the night with her.
My tent is in the middle, with the old Taoist priest on the left and Shi Xuanhe and Granny Ghost on the right.
This arrangement obviously regards me as a key protection target and is afraid that I will be injured.
After setting up the tent and eating, I glanced at the three mountaineer brothers on the tree.
They were sleeping peacefully and looked very comfortable.
Shi Xuanhe and Granny Ghost never moved.
They just sat in silence beside the tent in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
I'm tired after walking all day.
He went back to the tent, and the old ghost stayed in the talisman without any movement.
Ruohan and I had a brief exchange.
All I need to do now is do nothing and just follow the team.
The night in the mountains is very noisy, with insects chirping and beasts roaring.
Various sounds are mixed together, making it difficult to fall asleep.
I turned over and over about what happened today.
Ever since I met the three-headed mandrill, the behavior of these three mountain people has become more and more weird, and there are more and more things that are questionable.
They are completely different from the simplicity when they first met.
The weirdest thing is the ghost sending off the bride.
This is Si'e Mountain, which has been sparsely populated since ancient times.
How could a ghost come here to send off the bride?
I looked carefully at the costumes worn to send off relatives.
They were all costumes from the Republic of China period.
Their appearance in the mountains meant that there was probably a stockade in the mountains, and all the people in the stockade were dead.
Judging from the familiar actions of the three mountain people.
This is not the first time they have encountered ghosts to see off relatives.
I even have some doubts that they deliberately led us here.
But the old Taoist priest didn't speak, so I had no reason to speak.
I just watched.
After thinking about it, I fell asleep.
"Ming, wake up, wake up."
I don’t know how long it took, but I was woken up by Ruohan’s murmuring.
I opened my eyes and was about to ask, when Ruohan put his hand on my mouth and pointed outside the tent.
I listened carefully, and the buzzing of insects around me disappeared.

The mountain became very quiet, but there was a strange rustling sound.
I turned around carefully.
Looking out through the gap at the entrance of the tent, it was pitch black, and except for some shadows, nothing else could be seen. rustle rustle I wanted to see again, so Ruohan covered my mouth and nose.
Following Ruohan's strength, I lay down.
The voice had already reached my tent and stopped.
A figure came in through the tent.
The rustling sound just now was the sound of walking.
The figure was standing between me and Shi Xuanhe.
The three mountain brothers once said that no matter what sound they heard, do not climb out of the tent, and the old Taoist priest agreed.
With his nod, it was impossible for those followers to come out.
Shi Xuanhe and Gui Granny are also unlikely.
The footsteps were very heavy and obviously not either Shi Xuanhe or Gui Granny.
Ruohan and I looked at each other, and she slowly shook her head and told me not to move and to lie down.
I held my breath, stopped thinking, relaxed my body, and lay down quietly.
The footsteps sounded again, and the people outside the tent came to the front from my side.
Ruohan put a finger on my mouth and shook her head at me.
She and I looked at each other, and I understood what Ruohan meant.
She told me not to move.
Inside the tent, the shadow slowly expanded in front of me, imprinting my entire body in it, and he was coming closer.
Through the cracks in the tent, I saw a rotting face.
There is also a pair of dark red eyes.
"grass" I cursed secretly, wasn't I looking for trouble for myself?
If I hadn't turned my head over just now, I wouldn't have had to face these dark red eyes and this rotten face.
The rotten face came closer and closer, although I held my breath.
But I could feel a rotten atmosphere coming into the tent, and I even saw a hint of ferocity in those dark red eyes.
I clenched my fist and quietly touched a wooden thorn with my hand.
If he came closer, I would take the initiative.
"Ahem" That face is getting tighter and tighter.
Just when I couldn't help but take action, there was a coughing sound from the tent next door.
It was the ghost mother-in-law.
Hearing the cough, the rotten face quickly moved away and targeted the tent where Granny Ghost was.
After holding it for a long time, I slowly let out a breath, and a question flashed in my mind, why did the ghost mother-in-law want to help me?
I don't think the cough just now was an accident.
There are no such coincidences in the world, especially for an old ghost like Granny Gui.
I looked sideways.
The man had already walked outside Granny Ghost's tent and slowly squatted down.
"Grudges come and go, dirty money guides the way, the road ahead is long, let's go, let's go."
Just then.
A strange singing came from the tree, it was the voice of the mountain man boss, and with the sound, there was the rustling sound of paper money falling.
The man who was bent down in front of Granny Ghost's tent slowly stood up and looked up at the paper money falling in the air.
He reached out and grabbed it.
It wasn't just him, there was another rustling sound all around.
They walked out of the darkness and picked up the paper money falling from the tree.
I also smelled the familiar rancid smell at this time, just like the powdery smell I smelled during the day.
I suddenly understood why those mandrills had expressions of disgust on their faces.

It's possible that they didn't dislike us, but rather the rotten people hanging around our tent.
Through the gap, I could clearly see their clothes.
They were wearing straw sandals.
The clothes on their bodies could only cover the key parts of their bodies.
Most of the exposed torso was rotten, but the most serious thing was the face, which was the only one that was intact.
The only thing is their eyes, which are almost the same dark red eyes.
I stared at the corpses outside the tent.
They picked up the paper money, lined up, walked into the darkness, and gradually disappeared from my sight.
Mandrills, ghosts sending relatives, and now there are more carrion corpses.
And we have only been walking in the mountains for a day now, and when we reach the depths of Mount Si'e, I don't know whether these things were brought in by us or by the three mountain people.
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
I want to see what happens next.
For the first time, I am looking at things from an outsider's perspective.
I am really looking forward to it.
At dawn the next day, we got up and packed our tents at the urging of three mountain men.
I specifically glanced at the tent next to me.
The expressions of Shi Xuanhe and Granny Gu were very natural, as if they didn't know what happened last night.
"You should know what happened last night, right?"
Before setting off, the third mountain man smiled strangely and asked loudly.
"Don't say you don't know, who are you fooling?
My eldest brother sang so loudly, and the rotten smell is still there."
Before we could answer, the third mountain man started asking and answering his own questions.
"What do you want" The old Taoist priest asked with a smile, his tone still calm.
"Add more money, add 50% to the original amount."
The third mountain man stretched out his palm and compared it in front of the old Taoist priest.
"Okay."
The old Taoist priest agreed without even thinking about it.
The third mountain man was in a daze, as if he didn't expect the old Taoist priest to agree so quickly.
"good" The next moment, he reacted, put on his backpack, and winked at the other two mountain men who had been staring at us.
"Let's go, let's go.
Hurry up today.
You've caused too much trouble.
If this continues, you'll have to pay more."
The mountain man boss spoke, with a hint of greed and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
I rubbed my nose.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
These three mountain people actually had murderous intentions towards us
