The blue brick and white wall courtyard of the valley owner's house is very conspicuous among a row of mud-brick houses.

When Su Keke and Grandma Qiao came out of the valley owner's house, several pairs of eyes were staring at them from the mud-brick house opposite.

Su Keke had seen it in the capsule house. The most beautiful place in this Shenhua Valley is the back mountain.

The trees there are lush and green, and all kinds of wild flowers are everywhere, which is a pleasure to look at!

However, the Valley Master seemed to have said just now that people are not allowed to go up the back mountain after dark. It’s only a little after three in the afternoon now, so it should be okay for them to go up the back mountain for a stroll during the day!

Su Keke and Grandma Qiao looked at each other and both felt that if they had no problem with their comprehension ability, they could go to the back mountain during the day.

The two walked and stopped, trying to find a shortcut to the back mountain in the valley.

Colorful flowers that Su Keke didn’t recognize were planted in front of every house here.

There were children laughing and playing at the door. When the women saw Su Keke and Grandma Qiao, they came out to look at them curiously.

But every time Su Keke and Grandma Qiao wanted to go over and ask for directions, the women would call the children back home and slam the door shut.

"Why are the people here so crazy? Is it so difficult to ask for directions?"

Grandma Qiao looked around and saw that everyone had closed the door, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

"People here probably don't like to interact with outsiders. The women we met washing clothes before are probably an exception!"

Su Keke was also a little helpless, but she suddenly remembered that she had a capsule house! What was there to be afraid of when it got late? It was anywhere, anytime, and she could live wherever she wanted!

If you don't use the golden finger even though you have it, you're just making things difficult for yourself!

"But I have a plan! Grandma Qiao! We will just walk over there slowly! If it's late, we can just go to the capsule house. We just need to make the capsule house the size of a balloon and park it over the back hill so no one can find it."

Su Keke put her arm around Grandma Qiao's shoulders and spoke with great joy.

"Oh yeah! How could I forget that we have a capsule house! As long as no one is around, who knows where we are at night."

Grandma Qiao nodded continuously as she listened. After the time issue was resolved, the two of them no longer had any worries and just walked slowly along their own route.

"Hey! Do you want to go to the back mountain?"

The door of a mud house on Su Keke's right suddenly creaked open, and a middle-aged woman looked around and stuck half of her head out and asked.

"You're not the one...?"

Su Keke didn't know the woman's name, but she remembered that she was one of the people who had washed clothes outside the valley before.

"Shh... I've accepted your candy before. My little son loves it. I wouldn't bother to care if it were someone else! Although the scenery behind our mountain is nice, it's very dangerous, especially after dark, when wild animals will appear."

"It's already past four o'clock. If you keep going so slowly, it will be almost dark when you reach the back mountain. Didn't our Valley Master remind you that you can't go to the back mountain after dark?"

When the woman talked about the mountain behind, she looked extremely panicked, and she kept persuading Su Keke and the other two that it was already this late and they should not go up the mountain.

Su Keke knew that the woman might have good intentions, but the more mysterious the people in the valley talked about this mountain, the more she wanted to go up and take a look.

"Aunt! What kind of wild animal is there in your back mountain? Have you ever seen one? Will it bite people?"

Su Keke asked several questions at once.

"This... I'm not sure either! Anyway, it's our Valley Master who said it. In our valley, everyone believes what the Valley Master says! Anyone who doesn't believe it will be in big trouble in a few days."

The woman looked around nervously, afraid that others would see her talking to outsiders like Su Keke.

Before, by the stream, the woman thought that the owner of the valley would definitely not agree to let them in, and since she had taken the little girl's candy, she spoke a few more words to them.

Who knew that the Valley Master would actually agree to let them in this time!

"Aunt, please show us a shortcut! We must go and come back quickly, and never stay on the mountain after dark."

Seeing that Su Keke and the other woman were determined to go, the woman had no choice but to secretly tell Su Keke that there was a small path leading directly to the back mountain from the back door of her house.

When Su Keke heard that there was a shortcut, her eyes lit up and she thought that she had guessed right.

"Come in with me!"

As the woman spoke, she pulled Su Keke and the other person into the house.

There was only a woman and a child of seven or eight years old in the house. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao followed her through the inner room and came to the backyard.

The woman opened the gate for them and reminded them again, "Be sure to get down the mountain before dark!"

"Okay! Thank you so much!"

After Su Keke waved goodbye to the woman, she and Grandma Qiao went up the mountain along the road she pointed to.

They didn't see anyone on this road. The weeds on the side were growing wildly. When Su Keke stepped on them, there was a slight crackling sound.

The higher up the mountain they went, the denser the trees and vegetation became. As they walked, Su Keke felt that this place looked a bit like the primeval forest in her space.

"Could this also be an ancient primeval forest?" Su Keke whispered to Grandma Qiao.

"I don't know if it's a primeval forest, but I found that there are a lot of wild mushrooms here. The residents in the valley don't live well, so why don't anyone come up here to pick mushrooms?"

Grandma Qiao squatted down and looked at the small mushrooms in the mountains and fields. They were one by one and basically yellowish-brown in color. So far, she had not found the poisonous mushrooms with red umbrellas and white stems that would make one die if eaten.

"From what that auntie said just now, the back mountain seems to be a forbidden area in their valley. I guess no one dares to come up to pick mushrooms."

"Keke! Do you think there are really any ferocious beasts like tigers and lions here?"

Grandma Qiao quickly stood up and looked around the forest.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, a big green bird flew over Grandma Qiao's head, scaring her so much that she almost fell to the ground.

"This bird is so fat!" Grandma Qiao exclaimed as she watched the big bird fly away.

"Hahaha! He's really fat! There will definitely be a lot of meat if he grills it!" Su Keke said jokingly.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked a long way up the mountain.

"Wow! Grandma Qiao, look! There's a sea of flowers over there!"

Su Keke pointed to a small hill not far away, on which was a large area of brilliant purple flowers.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this sea of flowers, and the sound of the flowers humming in the air is particularly refreshing.

"Come on! Let's go over and take a look! There are so many flowers, there must be many varieties I haven't seen before!"

Grandma Qiao is a person who likes flowers and plants. When she suddenly saw such a beautiful sea of flowers, she was as excited as a child.

"Grandma Qiao, slow down! Be careful of the stones under your feet!"

Su Keke followed behind Grandma Qiao, and the two of them walked towards the other side step by step, stepping on the rocks.

A woman who had been secretly following them all the way stopped following them when she saw Su Keke and the other person go up the back mountain.

She hurried back and reported the situation to Man Ying.

Manying was standing in her yard, looking towards the mountain behind her. Her face was indifferent, and she thought to herself, "You are the ones who are seeking your own death! You can't blame us for anything!"
