"Hey, Xiao Li..." Hua Shi's smiling voice sounded behind him. Hua Li walked faster and soon ran into the house and slammed the door shut.
Hua Shi shook her head and turned to meet a pair of dark eyes...
Hua Yu looked at her expressionlessly. When he saw her looking at him, he lowered his head and continued to dry his wheat seeds.
Hua Shi looked at his hunched back and his gaze fell on his swollen ankle, which was wrapped and swollen. The ankle was swollen very high and looked quite serious.
But his face looked normal, and he still walked with his feet limp as usual, as if the swollen feet did not affect him at all.
Hua Shi suddenly remembered what Xie Mingchi said to her last night.
If she didn't know, Hua Yu should know more than her...
"Ayu, let me ask you something."
Hua Shi suddenly spoke and took two steps towards Hua Yu.
Hua Yu didn't even raise his head when hearing this and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.
Hua Shi took it as his acquiescence and asked directly, "Have you ever heard of a mountain spirit...?"
Hua Yu frowned, turned his head and stared at her. After a while, he said, "Mountain spirit? Did you hear that from some kid at the village entrance? It's just a rumor in the village. Don't take it seriously."
Seeing her serious expression, as if she took the rumors about mountain spirits as true, he said, "These mountain spirits and ghosts are all fake. No one has ever seen one. Why are you asking this?"
Hua Shi said perfunctorily, "I'm just curious." Then he blinked and asked, "What exactly is this mountain spirit? Can you tell me about it?"

It has long hair all over its body, three arms and legs, and is only as big as a human waist. It's very good at climbing trees..."
Hua Yu seriously recalled the rumors about mountain spirits. He didn't believe in those weird and absurd things at all, nor was he interested in them.
Seeing that Hua Shi was listening with great interest, he added a few more words, "And according to rumors, mountain elves also like to eat six-legged crabs. The extra hand is holding a red hat. If you wear it, the mountain elf can become invisible..."
The more Hua Yu spoke, the more bizarre his words became. Hua Shi, who was skeptical at first, no longer believed them after hearing them.
"That's about it. They're just used to scare people. No one has ever seen a mountain spirit."
At the end of the conversation, Hua Yu said disapprovingly.
Hua Shi lowered her eyes and said nothing. Thinking of Xie Mingchi's serious expression, it didn't seem like it was fake...
She knew very little about this and didn't know who was telling the truth.
If it were before, she would definitely not believe it.
The extra spring in her palm made her more cautious...
