Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 2729: Young Master Jiu

“My surname is He, and my name is Shu. May I know how I should address Your Excellency?” The middle-aged man asked, and came to sit by the fire in front of the young boy.

“You may call me Young Master Jiu.” Feng Jiu said without raising her head.

He Shu nodded his head upon hearing this: “Young Master Jiu, you’re here alone, I wonder where are you headed?”

Feng Jiu raised her eyes and glanced at him with a smile on her lips, and she said: “I’m just walking around for fun.”

The entire He Family were startled, walking around here for fun? Who would have believed it? This was not a place for fun, if you weren’t careful, you could die here.

When He Shu was about to ask something else, he saw that the young man had hung the white jade gourd he was playing with around his waist and then leant against the tree and fell asleep. When he looked at the tree again, he realised that although the tree had been chopped, it looked like it was dehydrated.

When he saw that the other party wasn’t interested in talking, he didn’t say anymore but got up and walked back to his group and sat down amongst them. He said to everyone: “Hurry up and rest, there is a long journey ahead tomorrow!”

That night, surprisingly, nothing happened. Feng Jiu opened her eyes in the middle of the night and looked around only to see a few ghosts floating around but didn’t dare to approach.

She supposed, with the strength and masculinity of those people, how would a few ghosts dare to come forward?

A good night’s sleep, until the next morning.

The fire went out, she simply washed herself with water and adjusted her robes, then she took out some fruit to eat and looked at the He Family. Everyone got up quickly and in a few moments, they were ready.

......

She raised her eyebrows and when she saw that He Shu had come forward, she said: “Let’s go!” She walked in front of them and led the way.

Everyone in the group glanced at her, and amongst them, a man walking behind couldn’t help but muttered: “This Young Master Jiu is so young, and his strength is not very strong, can he really get out of this Ghost Forest? He’s not fooling us, is he?”

A man next to him smiled and said loudly: “I don’t think so, he dared to come in here alone, it’s obvious that he is an extraordinary person.”

“That’s true, most people who enter this place would have died ages ago.” The man nodded in agreement. So, he stopped talking and walked quietly behind her, paying attention to the movements around him at the same time.

After walking for two hours, they noticed that the young boy in red clothes in front of them had been eating fruit the whole time. As they listened to the crisp chewing sound, they couldn’t help but feel envious.

One didn’t come to this place as they pleased, they could only search for wild fruit in the forest, but the wild fruits in the forest were too sour. However, the way the young man in front of them ate the fruits, as if they were sweet and juicy, they couldn’t help but swallow from time to time.

They didn’t know how long they had been walking, they only knew that the person in front was walking faster and faster, so their footsteps also quickened. In the end, they all seemed to be trotting along. For a while, their attention was only on the red figure in front of them, for fear that if they were careless, the red-clothed boy would disappear.
