Chapter 279
Looking at the purse of the pretty good embroiderer in his hand, Shu Ying looked at the Chunniang who was chattering in front of him, begging her for help while constantly threatening her. Finally, after seeing that the people from the Ji family couldn't bear to see, Shu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Chun Niang doesn’t have to follow them through the rock forest, nor does she have to send Xiu Niang away, otherwise Shu Yan would have to suffer a lot.
The sun at noon began to change, and Yanshi began to signal everyone to set off. After waiting for the male owner of the Ji family to get on the ox cart, he signaled the convoy to start walking. After leaving the Ji family's yard, he followed the avenue in the direction of the stone forest directly towards the rocky forest.
The male owner of the Ji family is Ji Liuye, which is an extremely easy-to-remember name.
Ji Liuye is in her fifties this year, with two sons and two daughters.
The eldest son has married and lives in the yard next to them. However, he has never had children for many years of marriage. Therefore, the eldest daughter-in-law was rolled by many people in the village, and he couldn't raise his head at the Ji family. Regardless of whether it is okay, he is stuck at home and almost never goes out. So Shu Ying and the others stayed at the Ji family overnight and never saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ji family!
The second daughter of the Ji family, Bianxiu Niang, the third daughter Chunniang, and the fourth son are also a son. Now they live with Ji Liuye and the others, and they have not yet said they will separate from each other.
Speaking of Ji Liuye, when he was young, he was also a good hunter in the village. He often followed the men in the village to catch various beasts, or picked some genius treasures back, and went to the county town to exchange some silver for the family expenses. Ji Liuye was also a very strong young man back then. After tasting the sweetness, he naturally put his mind on it. Then, gradually found that there were fewer treasures found on the mountain and less money in his pocket, so he put this idea into the rocky forest.
When it comes to that rocky forest, no one knows where that place used to be.
In the impression of the villagers of Ji Village, the rocky forest seems to have existed for a long time, but when they really enter, they can come out safely, but there are not many people in each generation.
There are many legends in that rocky forest. Some people say that a hundred years or more ago, many people died in it, so many evil spirits and ghosts were left behind. As long as a stranger enters, the ghosts in the rocky forest will wake up, and then be fascinated by the minds of the stranger, allowing them to stumble around in the rocky forest. In the end, they either die in it madly, or they are a little lucky, and escape from it when they go crazy, and they can only become crazy people for the rest of their lives.
Some people also say that there are actually some kind of ferocious beasts and monsters living in that rocky forest. After discovering that a new person has entered, they will come out to chase the new person until they kill them. And those with better luck, although they can or leave, are scared out of their courage and go crazy for the rest of their lives...
There are many versions of legend, and people's imagination is endless.
So, no one can really explain what the situation is like in that messy forest.
However, because every time a stranger enters, there will be no good results, so gradually the rocky forest becomes a forbidden area in the village, making all the villagers afraid to approach.
The reason why Ji Liuye was able to enter twice was actually because he was lucky and was forced to that point again.
As Ji Liuye said, when he first ran into the rocky forest, he was chased by a group of wild wolves at night. He was desperate and got into the rocky forest. Finally, he climbed a high stone, and he escaped. Then he waited until dawn, and then got off the rocky forest. After walking in the rocky forest for several hours, he walked out with great luck.
However, Ji Liuye was lucky in disguise because of this time. He found an old ginseng that had been at least a hundred years old in the rocky forest, and sent it to the county town. He sold a lot of money, but made a fortune.
Afterwards, Ji Liuye also wondered whether he could go to the rocky forest to see if he could find more treasures and make a fortune.
But in the end he gave up.
Not only because of the advice of the elderly in the village, but more because Ji Liuye thought of the scene where he had been walking in the rocky forest for a long time but had not found a way out. He felt that if his luck was a little worse at that time, he might have encountered something...
So, if you escape from death, why bother to get in for money? He still has family members to support him.
After giving up the idea of going into the rocky forest again, Ji Liuye has not been close to it for many years. Until a few years ago, his mother was seriously ill and needed her eldest son to discuss marriage. After there was no money turnover, Ji Liuye thought of the rocky forest again!
Just try again, maybe you are lucky and everything at home can be solved...
This thought was like the crazy vine, and it quickly entangled the willow leaves, and finally drove him to step into the rocky forest again by chance.
And this time, Ji Liuye walked in the rocky forest for two days before finally coming out.
"I still remember that when I came out, I found a small river to drink water. When I saw myself in the water, I was shocked by the shock!" Ji Liuye looked relaxed, but his eyes were solemn, "I looked like I was hungry for a long time, and there seemed to be only skin and bones on my face... That rocky forest is really scary!"
"Then did you find what you wanted that time?" Yanshi looked at Ji Liuye with inattentive expression and asked curiously.
"Ahem, I found it naturally." Ji Liuye nodded with a hint of a hint, and then said to Yanshi: "I found two ginseng that had been more than a hundred years old and a piece of agarwood, and I exchanged a lot of silver."
"So, there are a lot of good things hidden in that rocky forest?" Yanshi said with interest.
"It's because there are good things hidden, but I have to have my life to get them!" Ji Liuye couldn't help but sigh and persuaded, "In the past few years, there are no less than ten people who have accidentally entered the rocky forest in our village, and they all have not come back alive..."
"But you went twice, you are still alive!" Yanshi smiled and said to Ji Liuye with a serious look on his face, "This is either luck or your ability!"
