They rushed all the way to Shanquan Village. Zhou Laoda wouldn't let them complain of being tired and get on the carriage. The two Fu brothers were also tough. Their inner thighs were probably bleeding from the chafing, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.
A man's word is his bond. They boasted that they could ride to their destination on horseback, and that they would persevere no matter how hard or tiring it was. And look, they really did it.
Now my legs hurt when I walk, and my thighs tremble, but everything else is fine.
"This place is very nice, thank you, village chief. You can go back first, we can clean it up ourselves." Zhu Qiuyu said with a smile throughout.
The village chief had originally intended to ask a few villagers to come and help, but upon hearing what he said, he immediately understood that his benefactor did not want to be disturbed. Since that was the case, he could not linger any longer, so he left after exchanging a few polite words.
"Oh dear, my leg is hurting quite a bit. How about we go up the mountain and hunt some wild game for dinner?" Zhou Erfu looked at the mountain in front of him, somewhat tempted.
“The villagers don’t like to come here. We’re not familiar with this place, so how dare we just go into the mountains?” Zhao Guihua glared at him.
"We shouldn't go far; just wandering around the neighborhood should be fine," Zhou Erfu said dismissively.
"You're such a troublemaker. You haven't even learned many skills yet. You've only just learned to walk and you're already trying to fly. You're going to suffer for that." Zhao Guihua said with a look of disdain.
Zhou Erfu was unconvinced. "Mom, just you wait and see. It won't be long before we become experts too. Then you'll see what we're capable of."
The mother and son bickered as they followed the crowd into the courtyard. Zhao Guihua's eyes lit up when she saw the house with its blue bricks and white tiles. "This house is so well built, why doesn't anyone dare to live in it?"
"Didn't the village chief say before that this place is haunted at night, and there are strange howls of wild animals? It's really creepy to live here," Old Zhou reminded her, thinking she had forgotten.
"I don't believe there are really ghosts in this world. If there really are such things as ghosts, then how many people died on our escape route? Many little children were exchanged and eaten. Didn't these little children have any resentment in their hearts? Why didn't they come to take revenge?"
"Those evil people are still alive and well. And when did the refugees attack Yegou Village? So many people died, and such a big pit was dug to bury them. Why didn't anyone come to take revenge?" Zhao Guihua cited a series of examples to fully prove that there should be no ghosts in this world.
Of course, she was actually a little hesitant to say it so loudly; she said it to bolster her courage.
Zhu Chumo chuckled softly, his voice low and ethereal, "Normally, there are indeed no ghosts or monsters. Ghost stories are just made up by living people to scare others. Most of these people are those who have done something wrong and have a guilty conscience."
However, we can't be too absolute about anything. Perhaps ghosts and monsters exist; after all, just because we haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist.
"Fourth Senior Brother, can you tell my fortune?" Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you see how you've already startled Aunt Zhao? After speaking, Zhu Lin glanced at the little girl beside him.
It turned out that the little girl wasn't scared at all; she just tightly gripped his little finger.
Seeing him looking over, the little girl smiled at him, "I'm not afraid. Brother Lin is so powerful, nothing can beat you. You will protect me, so I'm not afraid."
"Yes, don't be afraid of anything, I will protect you." The young man chuckled gently. He would never leave the island easily if he were not strong enough.
Even if someone is more skilled than him, he has the Mustard Seed Space to assist him, so who can defeat him?
