"Although those dignitaries regard Yuehu City as a holy city, in our opinion, that place is very evil." Wan Li
As if responding to the faint light of the fire, a layer of mist gradually formed around the forest.
Zhu Wu's low and hoarse voice also seemed to have some mysterious and strange colors, and the content of his words was more like some ghost stories.
The atmosphere was in place, and Zhu Wu talked about the secret legends about Yuehu City with great interest.
"I heard the old man say that people will die at every clan meeting!"
However, some people were bold enough to retort disdainfully, "What's that? Are our ancient tribes still afraid of killing a lot of people now?"
But Zhu Wu's eyes darkened, and he said mysteriously, "Tsk, but do you know who dies every time?"
"Who?" someone couldn't help asking.
Zhu Wu deliberately played it off, and then slowly said, "Every time the clan members died, it was the priestesses who participated in the sacrifice to the Lake God. Some people also said that they were all picked up by the Lake God, but I saw it with my own eyes.
I’ve seen a female corpse outside Yuehu City!”
At this time, Lin Mengya's heart also started to lift.
It's just that I wasn't frightened by the terrifying atmosphere deliberately created by Zhu Wu.
Instead, she thought about how she was almost pushed out of the market and became this priest.
Zhu Wu was not done yet, he continued, "I was only seven or eight years old at that time. I remember that the female corpse was lying in a large colorful wooden box. I was young and curious at the time, so I opened the box.
The lid, guess what I saw?"
At this time, the night wind blew gusts, and even the large bonfire surrounded by them began to sway unsteadily in the wind, and everyone also got goosebumps.
Some wanted to stop Zhu Wu from talking anymore, but the curiosity in his heart couldn't help but listen to him continue talking.
"I saw the female body was completely naked, and her body was covered with tiny scars. Oh my, it looked like she had been skinned by a human being. At that time, I was so frightened that I rolled over.
I crawled back and ran back. When I got home, I had a high fever and fell unconscious. It took me three days to recover."
"Later I told my father about this, but when he went to see it, he didn't see the female body. Do you think it's strange?"
Originally, Zhu Wu's words were quite scary, but in the end, he was overthrown by his companions.
"You old boy, don't talk nonsense to scare people! My mother told me that the reason you were so feverish and unconscious was because you caught a cold while fishing in the river, so you talked nonsense."
That man was about the same age as Zhu Wu, so he knew his background best.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone started laughing. Zhu Wu didn't explain anymore, he just laughed "hehe" a few times, as if he admitted that he was talking nonsense. But Lin Mengya saw a dark flash in his eyes.
Some words that sound like nonsense are not necessarily lies, but if more people don't believe it, then even the person who speaks may regard it as false.
Her mind moved. It seemed that if there was a chance, they should talk to Zhu Wu privately.
Long Tianyu quietly grabbed her hand and conveyed this meaning to her.
If what Zhu Wu said is true, I'm afraid there are other secrets hidden in Yuehu City.
Everyone began to gather around the campfire again and talk about some interesting things in life.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu listened quietly. Through those words, they seemed to be able to see the ordinary but different lives of these herb collectors.
There is trouble in their lives, but there is also laughter in their lives.
Lin Mengya rested her chin gently on her man's arm, and occasionally followed everyone's words with doubts and curiosity, or regrets and sighs.
In short, although the two of them don't talk much, they get along quite harmoniously with these herb collectors. They are neither overwhelming nor too cold and out of place.
As dawn approaches, the surrounding fog gradually becomes thicker.
It was probably because dawn was approaching, so although everyone's face looked a little tired, everyone still breathed a sigh of relief.
For these herb collectors, it is very dangerous to spend the night in an unfamiliar wilderness, so they all choose to rush back to their homes as soon as possible after dawn.
Lin Mengya, who was sleeping lightly on Long Tianyu's arm, was also gently patted awake by her man.
"Huh?" She rubbed her eyes and realized that it was almost dawn.
"Wake up, we should continue on our way."
They didn't sleep all night, but Long Tianyu looked very energetic.
Lin Mengya nodded. She was still a little dazed after not having enough sleep, which made Long Tianyu want to laugh.
I couldn't help but secretly kissed my wife on the forehead when no one was paying attention.
"You young couple, don't worry. Since you are here to look for relatives, your relatives must be nearby. If you really can't find them, you can come to us."
Zhu Wu stretched himself and was very hospitable.
It had only been one night, but he had a good impression of the young couple.
He was a few years older than the young couple, so he naturally regarded them as his younger brothers and sisters.
Lin Mengya always reciprocates the kindness of others.
Such kindness.
"Thank you, Brother Zhu Wu. If there is a chance, I would also like to go with you to see the beautiful scenery on this mountain."
She smiled with crooked eyebrows, and her tone was full of sincere appreciation and yearning.
This made Zhu Wu very happy. He patted his chest and promised that if they came, he would let them see enough and take the two of them hunting in the forest.
"Okay, then it's settled!" Lin Mengya smiled brightly and waved goodbye to the group of enthusiastic and honest herb collectors. ??
Because the two of them were not familiar with the roads here, they planned to wait until the fog cleared before leaving.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Wu and the others left, the fog became thicker and thicker.
"It's a bit strange." She frowned slightly and whispered to her man.
Long Tianyu also looked around vigilantly and held his wife's hand tightly.
"Well, let's hide first."
Long Tianyu had touched everything around here last night, and soon the two of them found a small pit to hide.
For some reason, this thick fog always made her feel a little uneasy.
"Zhu Wu said before leaving that the fog in the forest will dissipate soon, but why do I feel like it's getting thicker?"
If there is fog, it means there is high humidity in this place.
But Zhu Wu and the others are all veterans in collecting herbs, so they naturally understand the surrounding situation very well.
Walking in such a thick fog, I don't know if Zhu Wu and the others will have any accidents.
Just as she was thinking about it, the next moment her throat felt slightly itchy.
Then, almost by the way, the blood poison that had been accumulated in one place quickly started to circulate, quickly alleviating the discomfort.
At the same time, she pulled off the sachet from her waist, pulled it open and turned it over to reveal a simple filter mask.
Then, she put the mask on her man's mouth.
Long Tianyu was still unaware, until his mouth and nose were blocked, he was slightly surprised.
"Is there something wrong with this mist?" He subconsciously wanted to take off the mask and put it on his wife.
But Lin Mengya shook her head, leaned into his ear and said, "I have blood poison."
Long Tianyu was relieved. At this moment, he felt that the blood poison was really useful.
It's too late for the two of them to leave now.
There was thick fog all around, and it was impossible to see clearly even places more than one meter away.
If they run around without caring at this time, it will be even more troublesome if they get lost.
Now, all we can do is wait.
Just wait, just wait It lasted two full hours.
It is not until the sun's rays penetrate the layers of fog that the fog gradually disappears.
By the time Long Tianyu could breathe on his own, it was almost noon.
"Is this mist poisonous?" Long Tianyu asked solemnly.
Lin Mengya shook her head. If it was poisonous, she would definitely not be so calm. After all, her man was not like her.
"Look at your clothes," she said.
Only then did Long Tianyu notice that his clothes, especially the light-colored corners, seemed to have a faint yellow substance.
He rubbed it with his hands, and the yellow substance fell down, but it was so light that it would only be regarded as dust.
"This is what I asked you to guard against. Although I don't know what it is, I always feel that it is not a good thing."
She took off her coat and shook the yellow substance on it into a ball. The two of them collected a little bit with great difficulty. Finally, she received it into the small ceramic bottle that she usually used to hold medicinal powder.
However, it will only be laid down.
And when she wanted to collect more leaves from the surrounding plants, she found that those yellow things did not fall on the plants.
Or rather, it may have been absorbed by those plants.
Lin Mengya clearly felt that the surrounding plants seemed to be more alive.
This made her even more confused.
Could it be said that this yellow thing is still a kind of fertilizer?
But she doesn't have time to think carefully at the moment.
Taking advantage of the fog just dissipating, the two people quickly found the hidden little black horse.
But the strange thing is that the little black horse doesn't have that yellow substance on his body.
Moreover, Long Tianyu also discovered that the mud on the little black horse's hooves was still fresh, and the horse's belly was also very warm.
Could it be said that the little dark horse escaped on his own?
As if to confirm her guess, the little black horse picked up the two of them and headed straight for a road they had never walked before.
On the bumpy horseback, Lin Mengya did not forget to observe the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, it was different from the one they hid in before.
The plants on this road are a little wilted, and they don't seem to have been moisturized by the mist.
Lin Mengya touched the little black horse's neck curiously, "Is this horse a sperm?"
Long Tianyu, on the other hand, scratched her nose in a good mood and whispered proudly, "Wuxing is the king of horses. He is very smart. I think his children will naturally know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."
