Chapter 117 The Bride in the Cave (4)
When Su Yue was looking out the window in despair, Cang Zhi walked up from behind him. He kept a little distance so that Su Yue would not feel uncomfortable.
Cang Zhi didn't seem to understand the situation. No one could understand this situation, so he looked out the window.
The night in the village is quiet and beautiful. In the distance is a small pond reflecting the starlight, and nearby is Su Chen with starry eyes.
Su Chen smiled at Cang Zhi and waved.
Suyue:!
broken.
With Cangzhi's personality, he would definitely ignore the little girl.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Cang Zhi waving at Su Chen.
Su Yue:?
Su Chen ran away contentedly. Su Yue was stunned.
He said that he wanted to reduce interactions with Cangzhi, but his character changed so much that Suyue couldn't hold it in anymore.
Su Yue: "You've become very outgoing."
Cang Zhi: "Didn't you say that we should increase the villagers' trust in us?"
"That's right." Su Yue nodded.
Then he was stunned again: "Did I say that?"
"I did." Cang Zhi said firmly.
Then, without giving Su Yue a chance to think about whether he had said this or not, he pointed at the quilt on the bed and asked, "What's going on?"
Su Yue: "..."
"That girl might have made a mistake." Su Yue cleared his throat, "She might think we are a couple."
"Why?" Cang Zhi asked.
"Who knows." Su Yue said, "Girls their age seem to like this. I met her in the game before, and she also thought that I was a couple with the other players in the game."
Gods do not lie, but Su Chen did think that Su Yue and the player in the same game were a couple, and Su Yue did not lie.
However, that "player" was also "Cang Zhi".
"Then we can pretend to be a couple." Cang Zhi said, "To increase her trust in us."
"???" Su Yue flatly refused, "Impossible."
Cang Zhi didn't ask why and accepted it naturally: "Okay."
.
The moonlight was low in the sky, and the view from the round-cornered building happened to be the best in the entire Niaozui Village.
A small waterfall gurgles down the cliff, the pool quietly reflects the starlight, and the torches lighting the village glitter like stars in front of the eyes, like a romantic scene in a fairy tale.
But the more romantic the atmosphere became when Su Yue was alone in this room with Cang Zhi, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He felt even more uncomfortable when he thought of Cangzhi’s proposal just now.
Cang Zhi was probably just saying it casually, no, he was definitely saying it seriously. Cang Zhi didn't have a very "casual" attitude, but his seriousness must be based on "completing the task."
So there is no obstacle in proposing it, and I don’t care if I get rejected.
It was precisely because he could say this in order to complete the task that Su Yue felt uncomfortable.
You should at least respect your ex.
"I'll go out and get another quilt." Su Yue said, "I'll sleep on the floor."
"Let me do it." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue didn't want to be polite to Cang Zhi at all now, and nodded: "Oh, then you come."
Cang Zhi: “…”
.
The night passed peacefully, Suyue slept on the bed and Cangzhi slept on the carpet.
Before going to bed, Cangzhi cast a small spell to calm his mind. This has always been their habit because Suyue is a light sleeper.
With the help of this little spell, Su Yue spent a peaceful and dreamless night.
Early in the morning, Su Yue was awakened by the sound of birds singing.
There are many birds in the mountains, and they always get up early. There are a lot of chirping outside, making a lot of noise.
"...A meeting so early." Su Yue covered his eyes and muttered in pain before slowly sitting up.
When he sat up, he used his spiritual sense to communicate with the mugwort that was placed outside the village last night. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he began to put on his coat in a good mood.
The villagers were more diligent than the roosters in the village. They had already gotten up to prepare breakfast for them. The aroma of porridge and rice mixed with vegetables drifted throughout the village with the red glow of the sunset.
As agreed yesterday, we will go into the mountains with the villagers today and walk along the path that the four girls took to go up the mountain that day, trying to find the trace of the Cave God.
In addition to Su Yue and Cang Zhi, Su Chen and another girl also followed. They had to take a donkey cart to the side of the mountain first. According to the girls, there was a stream with beautiful scenery in the mountains, and they took that road to take pictures.
The girl was one of the four people who had gone into the mountains together. Su Chen did not follow them up the mountain at that time, but the girl said she was scared to walk with two strange men, so Su Chen followed them.
There were many pebbles where there were mountain streams, and the spring water made a cool sound when hitting the pebbles. The donkey cart was shaking as it moved, Su Chen was driving the cart, and the other girl was so nervous that she didn't say a word.
Su Yue looked around. Since they hadn't entered the mountains yet, he played some music on his phone to soothe his nerves.
Just after listening to the prelude, Cang Zhi came and poked him on the shoulder.
Su Yue:?
Cang Zhi looked at him innocently, with a look that said "I'm bored, listen to it for me too."
Su Yue: "..."
never mind.
Anyway, I shared the headphones with him yesterday.
Su Yue expressionlessly took off his left earphone and handed it to Cang Zhi, who took it obediently. A "puff" sound came from behind him.
Su Yue looked back vigilantly, only to see that the girl who hadn't spoken couldn't help laughing, and then quickly turned her head away when her eyes met Su Yue's.
Su Yue: "..."
He originally wanted to explain, but then he thought, forget it, the more he explained, the worse it would get.
Do whatever you want.
They soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. People must come here often, and there are special posts for tying horses. Su Chen parked the donkey cart there, and the four of them went up the mountain together.
Before heading up the mountain, the girls filmed a short video, a popular activity now. In the video, the girls were all wearing traditional local ethnic costumes, their intricate and ornate silver ornaments jingling as they walked briskly.
"There was a big tree on the road we were taking up the mountain." The girl seemed willing to talk after getting off the donkey cart. "With that tree there, we couldn't get lost."
Thanks to the short video, Su Yue and the others easily found their way up the mountain. The girl led the way, Su Yue followed behind, followed by Su Chen and Cang Zhi.
There were no real roads in the mountains here; they were just dense jungle. Even though it was autumn, the vegetation was still extremely dense. The "road" the girl led was just a path the villagers had forcibly leveled out by using sticks to push down the tall grass.
The climate is very humid, and dew seems to condense in the air at any time. The soil underfoot is also very damp. The wind blows coldly through the gaps in the vegetation, bringing the continuous chirping of birds and insects.
The mountains here are small valleys connected to small valleys, with constant ups and downs, so there is basically no flat land.
Even the moss on the ground may be hollow underneath, with a pit or a stream flowing through it, so you have to be very careful with every step.
Su Yue never spoke again after entering the mountain. All his attention was focused on all the scenes he saw, all the sounds he heard, and even the smells he could smell.
He was trying to find all the information he could.
However, Su Yue did not dare to use his spiritual sense. Although spiritual sense could allow Su Yue to locate Luodong God more quickly, if Luodong God was really a monster, he would definitely be able to sense Su Yue's spiritual sense, which would alert the enemy and be counterproductive.
At this moment, Suyue is like a huge radar, receiving all images, sounds, smells and even biological waves at the same time, and processing them extremely quickly.
It may seem like a complicated project, but in reality, most of it relies on intuition and only takes a moment.
After walking into the mountains for about twenty minutes, Su Yue suddenly stopped on a winding mountain road.
.
The light in the primitive jungle was poor and the road was narrow. In addition, from time to time, a bamboo pit viper would stick its head out with its tongue spitting out. Su Yue suddenly stopped, which scared the girl leading the way in front.
"Brother, what's wrong?" The girl's voice trembled, "Don't scare me!"
Su Yue raised a hand to signal her to be quiet.
He wasn't trying to scare her, he just really felt something.
A thin "sight", or something like a spiritual consciousness, with a demonic aura, wandered in the mountains like tentacles. At a certain moment just now, it touched Su Yue and the others, and then slipped away in a flash.
It is deeper into the mountain, on the slope on the right.
Su Yue looked over there and saw that the environment was obviously more humid. The fallen branches were half rotten and hollow. All the light was swallowed up by layers of leaves and vines, and there was dense darkness in the depths.
Darkness has been associated with ominousness since ancient times, and the darkness in this forest gives people a sense of certainty.
If you go over there, something bad will definitely happen.
.
"What's that over there?" Su Yue asked.
"I don't know." The girl looked at Su Yue's expression and her face turned pale with fear. She kept shaking her head, "We never cross the mountain. That's what the elders in our family taught us, but we've never been there before."
"Do you remember anything unusual when you walked here that day?" Su Yue asked again.
The girl tried hard to recall for a while, then said distressedly, "I can't remember."
"No photos or videos?" Su Yue asked again.
"No," the girl whispered. She seemed to feel that she had let Su Yue down, and she looked quite sad.
"The fact that you have no memory is evidence." Su Yue glanced at the hillside over there again and could still feel the faint malice emanating from it.
The other party was watching them.
Su Yue made a prompt decision: "Ah..."
!
He had worked with puppets so many times that he almost blurted out "Azhi". Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and stopped himself before the word "zhi" came out of his mouth. He touched his nose, looked thoughtful, and forced himself to change his words.
Su Yue: "Ah, how about this, you send them down the mountain first, and then come back to meet me."
Cang Zhi didn't notice at all: "Okay."
Cangzhi took the two girls down the mountain, and Suyue was waiting here.
The malicious intent seemed to sense that he was alone, and the spying became even more unscrupulous.
The monster's spying had no substance, but it felt like small tentacles rustling along the damp and cold ground, stretching and retracting from time to time to take a look.
Normal people cannot feel that kind of malice, but Su Yue is a god, and his five senses are superior to those of humans. He can see clearly and feel disgusted by this kind of sewer rat-like thing.
But Su Yue pretended to know nothing and let it watch.
He stood there, looking at the skinny and weak creature, and his thoughts were actually very cruel.
He was just waiting for Cang Zhi to come back so he could kill the thing that had been peeping at him.
