Chapter 459 Wooden House in the Mountains
The other side.
Xie Xueyi stopped in her tracks in anger.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Fu Ming and Jiang Xu were obviously in the same group. If she exaggerated the situation and made a complaint, her brother and father would definitely scold her.
Maybe they will deliberately spread this matter to ruin her reputation.
"Why..." Xie Xueyi gritted her teeth, her heart filled with unspeakable anger, grievance and unwillingness.
She had traveled all the way from South City to here, and followed them up the mountain on her own to take the risk.
It was clearly she who subdued those two drug dealers, and she also tried her best to save them.
It was just an accident, what was her fault?
Why should all the credit go to Jiang Xu, while she ends up being blamed by everyone?
No... She looked up suddenly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes as she thought of something.
Aren’t the drug lord and the anchor still missing?
And there's also the female demon in the mountains that the villagers talk about...
As long as she can find those people, get rid of the monsters that are harming the villagers, and restore peace to this land.
Then we'll see who dares to smear her! We'll see who can still make things difficult for her!
Thinking of this, Xie Xueyi turned around resolutely and walked into the mountains again.
…
The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding trees and bushes seemed to be hidden in the dim twilight.
"Brother Yi, where is this?"
When he circled back to the crooked old locust tree again and again, Du Wenxuan looked around in confusion and was almost crying.
He and Jiang Yi had heard that the mountain was fun, so they wanted to come and try it out. They would bring their brothers to play there next time.
As a result, as soon as they entered the mountain, heavy fog suddenly appeared, and then the two of them could no longer get out.
Jiang Yi was pressed close to him, his voice trembling.
"I, I don't know either."
Du Wenxuan: "So, we are completely lost."
I don't know when the surroundings suddenly became quiet. There was no sound at all, even the chirping of insects disappeared. It was so quiet that it made my hair stand on end.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods, as if something was approaching them.
"Ahhh!" Du Wenxuan's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. A black shadow swooshed past his feet.
Jiang Yi jumped up in fear and took a closer look.
"A toad."
"There are toads on this mountain?" Du Wenxuan gasped.
Jiang Yi shook his head: "I don't know, let's try to find a way down the mountain."
As it was getting dark, the two of them walked down the path. Just when they were almost unable to walk anymore, they suddenly saw a dim light from the interlaced shade of the trees.
“There’s someone there!”
Du Wenxuan happily walked towards the light.
It was a low, even somewhat shabby wooden house, surrounded by a low fence made of worn-out firewood.
In the middle of the yard, there is a big peach tree, and under the tree there are two hens running around.
He walked up and was about to knock on the door, but Jiang Yi suddenly stopped with a look of horror.
A man who was probably in his thirties came out of the house and sat under the peach tree.
He had a hunched body and two big, lifeless eyes as he stared at the hen in front of him.
"Hello, we are lost in this mountain. Do you know where to go..."
Du Wenxuan raised his voice and tried to get his attention.
The man mechanically turned his neck, slowly raised his head, stared at them with his eyes, and did not answer.
Du Wenxuan felt a little creepy when he was looked at.
"Is there something wrong with his brain?" he whispered in Jiang Yi's ear.
"How about we leave?" Jiang Yi pulled the corner of Du Wenxuan's clothes, his voice trembling.
This dilapidated house in the deep mountains and forests looks just like a haunted house in a horror movie!
At this time, rustling footsteps were heard behind me.
Jiang Yi turned around and was shocked.
A woman in her thirties walked over slowly.
She was wearing a purple robe, with a figure as graceful as a willow, fair skin, eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, noble and beautiful, and seemed a little out of place in the ordinary little house.
Du Wenxuan had never seen such a woman before, and his eyes widened for a moment.
"Who are you?" the woman asked gently.
Du Wenxuan: "We heard the scenery on this mountain is beautiful, so we wanted to come and see it, but we got lost here. Do you know the way down the mountain?"
"Go down the mountain?"
The woman laughed meaningfully and looked at him straight.
"You want to go down the mountain? I'm afraid not. It's dark now, and there's fog in the forest. Even I don't dare to go down the mountain rashly."
"Can't we go down the mountain?"
Du Wenxuan sighed.
"Why don't you stay here with me for one night? I'll take you down the mountain tomorrow?" The woman laughed.
Live here?
Jiang Yi's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to refuse, but Du Wenxuan nodded and agreed.
"Thank you, sorry to bother you then."
Jiang Yi: ...
The woman opened the wooden door and smiled: "Come in."
Although the house was shabby, the floor was cleaned very well.
Just as Du Wenxuan and the other man were about to step in, a toad suddenly jumped out from the crack in the door, bit Jiang Yi's trouser leg tightly, and tried to pull him out.
"Beast! Get out of here!" The woman's face suddenly changed, and she picked up a stone beside the door and smashed it hard.
The toad let out a strange cry and quickly ran back into the grass.
Jiang Yi frowned. This toad...why does it look so much like the one they met under the crooked tree?
But how did it appear here? Had it been following them all the way?
Moreover, he always felt that the toad was pulling his trouser leg as if it was trying to stop something.
"You're just a toad, why are you in a daze?" Du Wenxuan nudged him with his elbow.
"Are you scared? The mountains here are nothing like the city. There are so many bugs and even snakes. Have you seen any?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi and Du Wenxuan's faces turned pale instantly.
Jiang Yi: "Not really."
"Then you are very lucky. Putting aside this, you came at the right time today. I went down the mountain to buy some meat." The woman picked up the bamboo basket in her hand.
Drops of blood dripped down.
Jiang Yi's pupils trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was pounding.
Could this be... someone's body inside?
Mom, no, sister, help!
Don't mess with me!
The woman saw his expression of fear and laughed.
When I opened the lid, there was a rabbit inside.
However, the rabbit's snow-white fur was covered in blood.
Jiang Yi felt that this scene was extremely weird, and Du Wenxuan's expression also changed.
Jiang Yi thought he had finally noticed something was wrong, and heard him stammer, "Rabbits are so cute, how, how can you eat rabbits?"
Jiang Yi: ...
Get out.
"Rabbit!" The man under the peach tree suddenly stood up excitedly.
The woman put the rabbit on the ground.
The rabbit slowly stood up.
"Alive, alive?" Jiang Yi's eyes widened in shock.
The woman wiped the mud off the man's face and said with a smile, "Didn't you argue for a long time about wanting a rabbit? I brought it back for you."
The man opened his mouth and said something like "Ahhh". The woman's face darkened slightly and she said in a serious tone: "No, no matter what, you can't run down the mountain, otherwise I will never look for you again next time."
After that, he returned to his gentle tone: "Okay, go and have fun, I'll cook for the guests."
