I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"If you are a mountain ghost, you can just tell us what you want. We have walked this road for decades, and we will continue to walk for decades in the future. We can bring you whatever you want. Maybe every time I pass by here in the future, I can sit down and have a cup of tea with you." The merchant said to Song You, "If you want to do evil, there are quite a few of us in broad daylight, so we are not easy to bully, and we are not stupid. I won’t be fooled by you, I’d better advise you to stop thinking about it and find someone else.”

"You misunderstood me, I'm really human."

"How to prove it?"

"It's true, why do you need to prove it?"

"Do you dare to point at Lei Gong?"

"There is a mountain god on this mountain, why point at Lei Gong?"

"Which mountain god? The villain doesn't know..."

"Forget it, which Lei Gong are you referring to?"

"How is Zhou Leigong?"

Song You smiled, and came casually: "Let's ask Zhou Leigong to enlighten me. If I am not a human being, I will be struck by lightning."

"..."

The merchants looked at each other again.

I knew in my heart that this kind of oath might not have much real effect, but Song You's face was kind, and his conversation was gentle and polite. Even if he was a ghost, he didn't look like a vicious one. It was a bay red horse, and they could swear openly, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, if the other party is really a ghost, who dares to attack them in broad daylight, and even turns into a group of people, if they think they are not shallow, then they can only consider themselves unlucky.

It's better to be gentle, don't provoke others, it's best not to have conflicts.

"Mister misunderstood! What an offense!"

"Where?"

Song You hurriedly said to them: "Everyone should be more cautious when walking in the barren mountains."

Even though Song You has encountered this kind of life-saving philosophy of traveling merchants many times, he still finds it interesting every time.

"Sir, you are not familiar with the road, but you dare to walk alone in the barren mountains. You are not a ghost, you must be an expert. I don't know where to practice?"

"I can't be called an expert, but a wandering Taoist who originally practiced in Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"There is another way to Pingzhou, why did you go this way, sir?"

"When we reach Xiangle County, we will take this route."

"There are monsters on this road."

"Be bold."

"Where did you sleep last night, sir?"

"There is no owner in the barren hills, and you can stay overnight everywhere."

"Sure enough, a master of art is bold."

"If you are calm in your heart, you will not be afraid of ghosts." Song You smiled and looked at the group of merchants, "Aren't you leaving too?"

"us?"

The merchant talked back and forth with Song You. Although he didn't relax his vigilance, he also felt that he was not like a ghost, and he was no longer on guard. Hearing this, he just shook his head and said, "We are used to walking, and we know where we can stay. We can walk faster someday." Somedays, you can walk slowly to the city or the edge of the military town. Second, we have no choice. This is the shortest road between Pingzhou and Xuzhou. Although the other road is easy to go, it is much farther , Although there are no goblins and ghosts on that road, bandits and robbers are not necessarily easier to talk to than goblins and ghosts, we are just earning some hard money, so there are so many choices."

"rational."

"Sir, have you heard that every year people walk this road and disappear inexplicably, and every year people encounter ghosts here?"

"Appreciate further details."

Song You looked at the group of merchants. The pot of ham and mushroom soup in front of him was still bubbling and steaming. He said to them, "Would you like a bowl of hot soup? Let's get some dry food."

The merchant immediately refused.

Song You picked up the banana leaves wrapped with wild fruits: "I also have some wild fruits picked from the mountains, do you want to try it?"

The merchant still refused.

Song You wasn't surprised, and didn't ask twice.

Walking among the mountains, when meeting strangers, no matter if they are humans or monsters, it is all right to chat for a few words, but no matter whether they are people or monsters, how dare they eat their food casually?

Gangsters have drugs, monsters have methods, and it is common to use dizzy methods on eating, drinking and drinking.

Song You just asked a symbolic question.

When the etiquette comes, that's all.

I just heard the tanned merchant say: "I don't know those who walk this road and see only the mountain but not the mountain. It doesn't matter if they are eaten by monsters or tigers and wolves. Walking on the edge of the cliff It doesn’t matter if you accidentally slipped and fell and fell to your death, who knows? I only know that my second uncle passed by here last year, but he saw countless goblins and ghosts.”

Immediately, a young man asked, "What kind of goblin? How did you meet?"

"It's not courageous! It's not restless!" The merchant shook his head, "I have been walking on this road for decades, and I have never encountered anything wrong, so I feel that there is nothing wrong. I walked slowly that day. When I arrived at the place I was supposed to go to, I thought about spending the night on the mountain, but in the middle of the night I felt light for no reason. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was sleeping in a market town. The lights were very bright, and there were stalls and stalls everywhere. In the storefront, people come and go, and everyone has a kind of lantern in their hands."

"What lantern?"

The boy opened his eyes wide and asked.

"It's just a very ordinary lantern, with no shape. It has nothing to do with the lantern. It's the people carrying the lantern." The merchant said, "At first glance, I think these people are people, but when you look closely, where are they people? gone?"

"what is that?"

"Fairies and ghosts, there are all kinds of things, most of them have turned into humans, but do you think, who would come here in the middle of the night to catch the fairies and ghosts?"

"and after?"

"My second uncle was frightened into a fool. Later, a ghost in a police uniform came to find him and talked to him. How could he still speak? Then he was taken out by the ghost by his clothes. In the end, the first The next day, Lao Xu and his team passed by there, and they brought him back when they saw my second uncle by the side of the road." The merchant said, "I got seriously ill when I came back, and I'm fine now, but don't say leave again This way, even if asked him to go around the village at night, he would not dare, and every time we have dinner with us, he would tell us about it.”

"real or fake?"

"I don't think it's fake. This road is inherently evil. I heard that people have encountered similar things before." The merchant paused, calmly, "But the goblins and ghosts are not necessarily bad, just like me. The second uncle met, obviously he accidentally broke into someone else's place, but the others didn't harm him, didn't do anything to him, and brought him out instead."

"..."

Song You felt that the merchant seemed to be pointing at him, and for a moment he thought it was funny and interesting.

The two teenagers opened their eyes wide, listening with gusto.

The merchant told them again: "So when you take over our work in the future, please remember, don't walk at night, don't sleep in the mountains, or you will run into ghosts, and you may not have such good luck."

After a short pause, he added: "It's really impossible to meet them. You must remember that goblins and ghosts are just like people, and most of them are reasonable. Don't offend others, don't provoke them, and be respectful and polite to them." , people will not easily harm you."

OK, click again.

Song You didn't say anything, just served a bowl of soup.

The two teenagers had endless aftertaste and nodded repeatedly.

One of the young men was bold enough to look at Song You and asked tentatively, "Have you ever heard of something similar, sir? Didn't you encounter it last night?"

"I've heard people talk about it. They say that they open here in the second, fifth, eighth, and late winter months." Song You only answered half of the answer, and then looked at the middle-aged merchant, "But you are right. When walking in barren mountains, you should try to avoid walking at night. If you can’t avoid it, you should cover your head tightly at night. Remember that ghosts and ghosts also have intentions, don’t treat them as scourges or dirty things as soon as they come up.”

"you do not say……"

The eyes of the middle-aged businessman flickered, thoughtful.

It wasn't until he heard this sentence that he confirmed that the Taoist in front of him should not be a ghost anymore, and even if he was, he should be a kind person.

Then he said:

"It's just that I don't know the time when the ghost market opens. How did the sir know?"

"It's also heard, I don't know if it's true or not." Song You shook his head with a smile, "You can try to avoid it in the future, or you can tell it to the traveling merchants on this road, but don't spread it too far, lest those Idiots who yearn for ghosts and spirits come here specially, if they encounter danger."

"yes……"

Song You raised his head to drink the soup.

After adding ham, the soup is really much fresher, and even the color of the soup has changed a little. It's just a pity that the old hen should be used as the soup base, and the mushrooms and ham should be boiled in, it will be delicious.

This happened to be the last bite.

After Song You finished drinking, he went to the mountain spring to wash the dishes.

When they came back, the group of merchants had basically rested enough, and they didn't want to stay any longer, so they wanted to continue on the road.

Song You then stopped by the side of the road to say goodbye to them.

"Let's go first!"

"Farewell!"

A procession of men and mules passed him.

The dark-faced merchant couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

This person and a girl are naturally strange.

If it is said that the person's complexion is fair and clean, without signs of wind and sun, it can only be said that his voice is dusty. But the girl was extremely beautiful, her skin was so white and glowing, there was no trace of tanning or redness, and there was no dust or dirt on her face, which is extremely rare for children these days, let alone walking in the mountains , Sleeping in the open.

There are many immortals, gods and ghosts in Pingzhou, and ghosts often haunt this mountain. It is normal to think of them as ghosts at first.

As for now—

It's not a ghost, it's an expert!

It's just what the Taoist said at the end...

At this moment, the merchant saw the Taoist turned around to pack his things, wiped the pots and bowls and put them into the quilt bag, and then put the quilt bag on the horse's back, and a simple lantern was hanging on the quilt bag.

Isn't today the end of February?

The Taoist turned to look at him.

The merchant was stunned for a moment, and wanted to quickly look away, but suddenly stopped, and instead cupped his hands in that direction.

"What's the matter, Uncle Yang?"

"nothing."

"Why did you hand him over again?"

"Let's go."

The businessman shook his head, still feeling that way in his heart——

This little gentleman is either a ghost or an expert.

It's just that no matter whether you are a ghost or an expert, you can be called a god when you have Taoism, conduct, and sincerely help others.
