Zimo resisted the pain in his legs and forced a smile: "You are right. Your sister is a girl. You cannot let her go into the mountains alone. You must protect your sister."
Yuan Hao responded and ran away, and Zimo began to regret that he didn't teach Yuan Hao kung fu. If he really met a bad guy, Yuan Hao was just a child with only a little brute strength, and he was afraid he would only get beaten.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves, but they are worried about them. As soon as Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao went out, a sneaky figure followed them secretly.
He followed from a distance, but the siblings didn't notice.
After the two left the village, they came to a three-way intersection at the foot of Ziwu Slope. The leftmost road led to Yunying Mountain, the middle road led to the dry land in the back mountain, and the rightmost road, which was not very obvious, was Leading to the ghost forest, the two siblings chose the path on the far right, but the sneaky figure did not dare to follow them.
"No matter where you go, you will always come back. I'll wait here." The wind blew by, bringing up a small whirlpool, messing up the black hair on the man's shoulders, and lifting the bangs that half covered his eyes. It is full of malicious calculations.
Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao were not as calm as before. They hurried all the way and arrived at the ancient spring stream outside the ghost forest. They found that the water in the stream was obviously one-third less than before, and there was no water in the stream. The abundant spring water became increasingly scarce, so she quickly filled three tubes of water with the bamboo tubes she brought and covered them.
"Sister, why is there less water?"
Yuan Qiu looked at the withering grass on both sides of the stream and said, "Maybe the water in this ancient spring also comes out in different seasons. Fortunately, we can still collect some when we come today. I'm afraid we won't find a drop next time we come."
Yuan Hao scratched his head: "It's really strange. The water in the spring has different seasons. This is the first time I've heard of it."
Yuan Qiu smiled faintly: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. There are many strange things that you have never heard of or seen before. There is no need to make too much fuss. Everything in the world exists in an orderly manner and reincarnation has its limits. Everything and everything has laws to follow. "
Yuan Hao didn't seem to understand, but he just wrote down what his sister said first, and then slowly savored it.
Without too much delay, the two quickly picked two baskets of herbs and hurried back. Although they hurried without touching the ground, it was still dark when they were halfway down the road.
Fortunately, I was prepared when I arrived, so I wouldn't go in the wrong direction if I was carrying a lantern alone.
"Sister, just ahead is Ziwu Slope."
Yuan Qiu raised her head and looked towards Ziwu Slope. The crescent moon was misty and the light was sparse and the stars were shallow. Although Ziwu Slope could not be seen clearly under the misty moonlight, her shape could be seen in the distance. She paused slightly and shouted, "Stop." Yuan Hao.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Hao turned around and saw that his sister had a wrong look on her face.
"There are people at the bottom of Ziwu Slope." Yuan Qiu was very sure. She had just seen a black shadow wandering at the bottom of Ziwu Slope. It seemed that it had seen their lantern before it ducked into the grass that was half a person's height.
"No way, it's already dark, how can there be anyone at the foot of Ziwu Slope? Could it be that you've misunderstood?"
Yuan Qiu shook his head: "I will never be wrong. There must be someone who is sneaky and has bad intentions. It's best to be careful."
Seeing his sister's serious face, Yuan Hao also raised his concerns, clenched his fists and said, "I want to see who it is."
Yuan Qiu held two silver needles in her hand. Although she was not very strong, she had the ability to prick acupuncture points and hurt people. Whoever dared to have evil intentions towards her would definitely make that person suffer a lot.
