"Okay!" Leng You's gaze paused for a moment when he encountered the rare softness in Xiang Wentian's deep eyes, and then he nodded heavily. He lowered his eyelids, and a tide suddenly rose in his eyes.
He quickly suppressed the surge, pulled one hand out of the cotton glove and naturally stretched it out, letting the other person hold it. In his palm, there was the warmth that he had always longed for but could not reach in his past and present lives.
The tide was about to overflow again. Leng You closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
"Brother, let's go explore first!"
"Okay!" Xiang Wentian carefully clenched the small hand in his palm, fearing that this fragile hand could not withstand his slightest force.
But he was helpless against the little guy's stubbornness. After reaching the bottom of the valley, he refused to be carried on his back anymore.
"Everyone in the village says there are ghosts here." Leng You asked tentatively while looking around.
She was only half alive in her previous life, and was carried out of the valley by Xiang Wentian with great effort. Since she was in a completely coma, she had no perception or impression of the valley bottom.
Although I was saved by the "magical power" yesterday and regained consciousness, I left in a hurry and was caught up in the difference of rebirth, so I didn't even bother to check out the overall picture here.
Only then did I realize that the bottom of the valley and the top were two completely different worlds.
The deep valley is sandwiched between two mountains in the east and west. Even if you estimate from the foot of the mountain, the depth to the bottom of the valley is more than 200 meters.
It was about a thousand meters wide from east to west. It extended to the front of the two mountains in the south, but as for where it extended to the north, it was no longer within the range of vision, because Leng You had never studied where the two mountains continued to the north.
But she knew that the nearest village in the north was more than a hundred miles away from Dahei Mountain.
She was not in a hurry about this as there would be plenty of time to explore later.
The valley bottom is flat, and surprisingly, there is not any snow. Instead, the ground is covered with a layer of light green like early spring, which is squeezed among the dense dead grass, making it look even more vibrant.
There is a very small stream with steam coming out from the north, leisurely like strolling in a garden. By the time you reach the end of the valley, it has completely dispersed and there is no water accumulation.
On both sides of the stream are dense trees with red, yellow or green leaves. What is even more incredible is that many of these trees are redwood species that should grow in the south.
Leng You clearly remembered that this place had never been developed in her previous life until her death.
The poor and remote countryside, as well as the pedantry and superstition ingrained in the villagers' bones, make this world peaceful and peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
"It's a little strange, but there won't be any ghosts. Are you scared?"
In fact, the purple mist has made Xiang Wentian feel as if he is in a dream until now, but being a mature young man, he did not show any abnormality.
He looked down at Leng You. Although he had doubts in his mind, he could not detect any trace of fear in those crystal eyes that seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
I looked away and continued to look around. Even though I had entered the valley twice yesterday, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to take a good look. It was only then that I discovered the wonders of this place.
"How can ghosts be as scary as humans?" All the memories of his past life suddenly pierced his heart like a sharp knife, and blood spurted out instantly.
The cold, dark pupils shrank suddenly, then turned dark as ink, and the chill permeated the whole body.
Indeed, compared with the evil of humans, ghosts are nothing.
Xiang Wentian: “…”
He looked at Leng You in surprise.
The chill in that tender voice just now made his heart beat a little slower. Besides, how could such profound words come from the brain of an eight-year-old child?
His feeling was not wrong. There was an extreme hatred and even bloodthirstiness hidden deep inside the body of this young child.
This should never happen to such a young child, despite her tragic life story.
"Brother, let's go inside and take a look!" Leng You restrained her breath in time and shook the hand that Xiang Wentian was holding her.
This was a person whom she could inexplicably trust and rely on, so her emotions were revealed without her being on guard, but this was limited to this person.
"Hmm!" Due to the angle problem caused by the height difference between the two, Xiang Wentian could not see what was hidden under Leng You's thick eyelashes, but he calmed down and did not ask any more questions. He held Leng You's hand and walked up the stream.
Suddenly, before Leng You could react, he picked up a stone and threw it out like lightning.
"Hit it! What a fat rabbit." Leng You broke free from Xiang Wentian's hand and ran over, picking up the big gray rabbit that fell down without even having time to resist. The rabbit weighed about ten pounds.
"Such great strength?" Xiang Wentian was stunned when he saw Leng You casually swinging a fat rabbit that was almost as tall as her.
I opened my palm and looked at it again. I had an explanation in my mind, but it seemed even more unbelievable.
"You too." Leng You paused, raised the rabbit and shook it, also looking at Xiang Wentian's hand.
She realized this after Xiang Wentian reminded her. She suddenly wanted to know the limit of her current strength. She wondered if she could uproot a weeping willow tree like Lu Zhishen.
So, while Xiang Wentian was stunned, Leng You suddenly dropped the rabbit in his hand, ran towards a big tree as thick as a human waist, and stretched out his short little hands to hug the trunk tightly.
He bared his teeth, kicked his legs hard, and his face turned red...but the tree didn't move at all.
Unwilling to give up, she turned around and tried another tree that she could hug with her arms. She gritted her teeth, pushed her feet, and exerted force... She didn't know if it was because of the wind or something else, but the treetop moved slightly.
Because he used too much force, he was unable to brake the car when he pulled his hand back, and Leng You fell to the ground.
"Puff! Cough cough... cough cough cough..." Xiang Wentian, who had been known for his icy face since childhood, suddenly lost his composure and was choked by his saliva.
Leng You: “…”
I looked up at the sky and waited for a long time, but the thunder did not come down.
"Youyou, promise me not to tell anyone." Xiang Wentian took a few steps to Leng You, squatted down and looked her in the eye. There was a seriousness in his eyes that left no room for questioning.
Even if this strength is not so great as to be super magical, Leng You and his abilities are far beyond the level of ordinary people. Xiang Wentian is more worried about Leng You.
"This is a secret between the two of us." Leng You stretched out her little hand, whose frostbite was almost completely gone, towards Xiang Wentian.
"……good!"
Xiang Wentian reacted for a moment before he understood what was going on. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, allowing Leng You to hook his little finger together and then put his thumb on the tip of his thumb.
One big and one small, one bronze and one fair, these two hands put together are inexplicably harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Both of them stared at the clasped hands for a while before coming back to their senses.
Xiang Wentian couldn't believe that he would do such a childish thing, but he firmly believed that this child would be able to keep the secret, not only the purple mist, but also the deep valley.
