A blind little old man?
When Master Jia said that something unclean was following me, the first thing that came to my mind was the water ghost that had possessed Huang Xiangu.
Even if he told me that Bai Su, who had been exorcised, had returned, I could still understand it.
But he said it was a blind old man?
Jin Ye?
I laughed at my own thoughts.
Jin Ye isn't a ghost, how could it be him?
I figured it must be a wandering ghost that was just passing by.
After all, I don't have [Earth Soul], so it's quite attractive to them.
I asked Master Jia when that thing came with me.
The reason I asked this is because I suspect that I was followed when I ran away from Grandma Sun's place.
“It was there on the plane, but it wasn’t close to you at the time, so I didn’t know it was following you.”
It followed me on the plane?
I turned around again to look behind me, but I saw nothing.
Master Jia also said that the evil spirit had left, but its scent was still there, so it shouldn't have gone far.
I asked Master Jia, "Master Jia, can you help me find it?"
Master Jia immediately laughed: "Brother, you overestimate me. How could I know this? If you have the chance to see the white fox this time, you can get it to help you find that ghost."
Looking for a white fox to exorcise ghosts?
I shrugged; that was as good as saying nothing.
They've been searching for decades and haven't found it. I can't believe I'm so lucky to find it on my first visit.
Finding Lingmei is faster than finding the white fox.
Old Master Jia was getting on in years, and after chatting for a while, he said he was sleepy and needed to rest.
Yunwei and Xiaomi had already fallen asleep, leaning against each other.
Nothing happened that night.
When I groggily woke up, it was already getting light.
Yunwei and Xiaomi are already preparing the food.
During dinner, Yunwei said she wanted to go find Grandma Mei, an idea that coincided with Xiao Mi's.
My purpose in coming here is to find Lingmei, so naturally I won't leave.
I said I also wanted to go and see [The Hidden Fairy Trail].
Xiaomi shook the map in her hand, determined the direction, and pointed ahead, saying that according to the map, [Mist-Hidden Fairy Trail] should be ahead, just over two mountains away.
The road was relatively flat at first, and with Yunwei, a native mountain girl, leading the way, the journey was quite pleasant.
Xiaomi still had the leisure to take pictures here and there with the camera.
As we ventured deeper into the forest, the trees towered into the clouds, their branches and leaves layered upon each other, almost completely obscuring the sky and making the forest dimly lit.
We had to use flashlights even in broad daylight.
With the rain last night, the mountain road is particularly difficult to walk on.
Every step required a great deal of effort; my feet struggled in the mud and water, and my shoes were filled with mud and water, making me feel cold and uncomfortable.
I was also carrying Master Jia, whose legs were injured, making it even more difficult for me to move.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves. Stepping on it made it feel soft and squishy, and it also emitted a pungent, putrid odor.
Every step had to be taken with extreme care, as the layer of decaying leaves beneath one's feet was as soft as a swamp, and one could easily sink into it if one was not careful.
Yunwei led the way with a wood-chopping knife, slapping it hard with every step, afraid that a poisonous snake might suddenly jump out from somewhere.
I can tolerate all of that, but I'm really afraid of leeches.
Many people have no idea just how terrifying this thing is.
These seemingly inconspicuous little gadgets are often hidden in the grass and under the leaves of trees in the mountains and forests, especially around damp and dark paths.
Once someone gets close, they will jump onto the person, attach themselves to the body with the suckers on their heads, and suck the person's blood.
Moreover, when sucking blood, it releases an anticoagulant and an anesthetic, allowing blood to flow continuously from the wound without causing any pain.
By the time you realize it, your body will already be covered in leeches.
After only a few hours of walking in the mountains, I was already exhausted, and my legs felt as heavy as lead.
My clothes were soaked through with sweat and rain countless times, drying and then getting wet again, then drying again.
The smell was like a mixture of spoiled stinky tofu and rotten eggs fermenting for a whole month; it was incredibly pungent.
We had planned to reach our destination today, but in reality, it was past 3 p.m. and we had only walked a few kilometers.
"I can't go on anymore, I really can't walk anymore."
Xiao Mi, leaning against the tree trunk, was drenched in sweat from exhaustion. She took off her coat, revealing a black cropped tube top underneath.
The strapless top hugged her upper body tightly, making her figure appear even more slender.
"Don't move!"
Yunwei's voice suddenly rang out.
The shout came so suddenly that Xiao Mi trembled in fright, almost dropping the water glass in her hand, spilling some water.
"Wh...what's wrong?"
Xiao Mi's voice trembled noticeably; she was so nervous that she kept swallowing, and her eyes were wide open.
"Turn slowly, very slowly!"
Xiaomi slowly turned her body, her movements appearing to have been slowed down countless times.
The moment her back was fully exposed, my scalp tingled.
(PS: I originally planned to update four chapters, but only 27 people are following me, so don't blame me! Hahaha, only three more! You can see for yourselves, I'm not lying, there will only be three updates today.)
