Without stopping, we reached the east end of the village.

Li Kui was walking when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the tree stump by the roadside.

really.

Standing on the tree stump was an old man with a white beard. Who was he other than the second uncle?

At this time, the second uncle had already posed, with his legs together and upright, his two arms naturally separated, raised above his head, towards the red moon, with his eyes closed and motionless.

At first glance, it looks like an old tree with only two branches.

What's terrible is that the second uncle seemed to be so into the drama that he actually took off all his clothes and stood naked on a tree stump posing, as if he was engaging in performance art.

"Second uncle?"

Li Kui stepped forward and called softly.

The old man with the white beard was motionless, his breathing was extremely light, and his chest only rose and fell slightly, as if he was asleep.

"Awesome, I can even fall asleep standing up..."

Li Kui was speechless for a while.

In the whole village, only the second uncle looked harmless, and Li Kui was willing to talk to him a few more words.

But the second uncle just wants to be a tree quietly.

Li Kui came to the field, picked vegetables and some fruits, and then walked towards the river.

In the muddy water in the shallows, there were many huge fish stranded. Some were flopping around, and some turned over on their bellies.

Li Kui found a big black fish.

The body is about 1.5 meters long, the snout is short and blunt, and the mouth is large. The mouth is opened, revealing rows of sharp fangs.

This kind of fish has few spines, firm meat, and delicious taste. Most importantly, it is rich in nutrients. It can remove blood stasis and regenerate, nourish and recuperate, build muscle and blood, and promote wound healing. It has high medicinal value.

All in all, very complementary.

"The last few times I came here, I always wanted to catch snakehead fish, but unfortunately I couldn't find it."

Li Kui was overjoyed, went over and grabbed it with an iron hook.

"Puch!"

Before Li Kui could get closer, the big black fish started twisting wildly and burrowed its head into the mud. Soon, most of its body was out of sight, and its tail was exposed in the muddy water and swung rapidly.

Li Kui jumped out and reached out to grab the fish's tail.

Unexpectedly, with a splash, the big black fish stirred up the muddy water, turned around suddenly, raised its head, and opened its mouth to bite.

Li Kui was startled and quickly retracted his hand.

But he still took a moment and was bitten by the big black fish on his sleeve.

The big black fish shook its head and tore at it. The huge force made Li Kui stagger and almost fell into the river.

It was pricked, and the sleeve was bitten.

The teeth of the big black fish were too sharp, and Li Kui's clothes were too old and torn, and half of them were torn off in one go.

Li Kui fell back and fell on the grass.

The big black fish continued to bite half of the sleeve, but he didn't care and swallowed it into his mouth, which was a cruel stroke.

Li Kui's face darkened, he glanced around, picked up a wooden stick as thick as his arm, raised it and started beating.

Bang bang bang!

The wooden stick rose and fell, hitting the black fish, causing the big black fish to tumble.

Silt sprayed everywhere.

Li Kui's face and clothes were soon covered with mud, and his eyes were somewhat excited, as if someone who had been suppressed for an unknown amount of time had finally found a punching bag to vent his anger.

After a while, the big black fish was smashed until its belly was opened, and it lay there motionless.

Li Kui took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.

He threw away the wooden stick, stepped forward, pierced the fish's gills with the iron hook, and dragged the big black fish ashore.

"We have the fish and meat, we can go back."

Li Kui dragged the bamboo basket back and immediately felt the difference, "My strength seems to have become stronger."

I don’t get tired as easily after dragging heavy objects.

The life attribute has been increased to 6 points, there is no disease on the body, and the physical fitness has undoubtedly improved.

“It’s good to be healthy and healthy!”

"What will happen if I increase my health to 10 points, or even 100 points?"

Li Kui's eyes were bright and he couldn't help but think about it.

The way back is not to go back the same way.

Dragging a heavy bamboo basket, he could not go directly across the field, so he had to go around along the river bank.

Soon, he saw a wooden bridge across the river.

This is a wooden bridge leading to the outside of the village.

In Li Ergou's memory, after crossing this wooden bridge and walking more than ten miles on the mountain road, you can reach your grandparents' house.

A few days before the red moon came, grandma accidentally fell into the river. She couldn't swim and almost drowned. After being rescued, she had a fever day and night and became seriously ill. She was in critical condition.

After hearing the news, Li Ergou's parents immediately went to take care of him and never came back again.

Li Kui looked at the wooden bridge and couldn't help but recall his experience a few days ago.

He wanted to escape from the village to find his parents. It was his first escape and he took the wooden bridge road.

"Try again." Li Kui put down the bamboo basket, walked step by step across the wooden bridge, crossed the river, and reached the other side.

He looked back and saw that the bamboo basket was on the other side.

It can be said with certainty that he had already crossed the wooden bridge at this time, and then he walked forward along the mountain road.

After walking a few steps, I looked back to confirm that I was getting farther and farther away from the wooden bridge.

Everything is normal.

Can't see any problem.

Until we are far away...

The wooden bridge is completely invisible.

Li Kui began to mark trees and rocks with a sickle. Occasionally, when he came across a small tree, he cut it directly and placed it across the road, blocking the way back.

Just go forward like this.

while walking……

Li Kui suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, his mood suddenly hit rock bottom.

He ran forward, and soon!

The wooden bridge appeared in front of him again, and the bamboo baskets were placed on the other side without any change.

Came back out of nowhere!

"The ghost of the special meow beats the wall..."

Li Kui was a little frustrated, sighed, returned to the other side, and dragged the bamboo basket home.

"Er Gouzi, come here and help me."

As soon as Li Kui arrived at the entrance of the village, a familiar voice came from the old man with a white beard.

"Second uncle, what's wrong?"

Li Kui put down the bamboo basket, walked to the tree stump, and looked up at the motionless old man.

The second uncle drooped his eyelids, raised his hands and said, "My back is a little itchy, please help me scratch it."

Li Kui was speechless for a while.

"It's so itchy, scratch it quickly, scratch it quickly..." the second uncle urged, but his body didn't move at all.

Li Kui walked around behind the tree stump and asked, "Where is it itchy?"

Second uncle: "My whole back feels itchy."

Li Kui raised his hand to scratch.

Then, he suddenly found that there were many ants crawling on the second uncle's body, and said in shock: "Second uncle, there are ants on you."

"I know." The second uncle chuckled, "This is a good thing."

What a fart!

Li Kui quickly slapped the ants with his hands.

But the moment his hand touched the second uncle's back, Li Kui was stunned in vain.

He was stunned for a few seconds, then touched the second uncle's back again and stroked it gently.

The second uncle is very old and his skin has deep wrinkles, which is normal.

However, Li Kui never thought that those wrinkles would be as rough and cold as tree bark to the touch.

He carefully looked at the second uncle's body, slowly lowered his head, and focused his eyes on the second uncle's feet.

Then I saw the second uncle’s feet. The soles of their feet were embedded in the wooden pillars as if they were melted, and they actually grew together with the tree pillars.

The second uncle laughed and said: "It's good to have ants on my body. These little cuties think of me as a tree. I will soon turn into a tree, ah ah ah..."
