Chapter 170: Mist

Chen Muxue followed behind me, deliberately keeping a distance from me, and we came out of the courtyard and walked into an alley.

The ground of the alley was paved with bluestone slabs, and it was a little slippery when it rained just now, so I slowed down and glanced at it out of the corner of my eye, Chen Muxue was in the position behind me, and she walked without saying a word with her arms in her arms.

My heart sank a little bit, and Chen Muxue's attitude was already obvious.

Chen Muxue didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to speak, the two of us walked one after the other......

The weather was gloomy and terrible, the visibility was getting lower and lower, and the fog had a strange smell of fish as far as I could see.

I walked more slowly, it was easy to get away in this weather, and I kept an eye on Chen Muxue while worrying.

"Do you still know the way?" suddenly Chen Muxue asked.

"It's too foggy, but you should be able to find it. I replied immediately, and Chen Muxue was finally willing to speak, and I was a little relieved.

"We didn't bring anything, and even if we arrived, we wouldn't be able to do anything. "I don't have anything to say.

"Is there often such fog on this island?" Chen Muxue asked again.

"I don't know, the weather was pretty good last time I came...... Maybe it's raining. I replied casually.

I took Chen Muxue along the alley, and at the end of the alley was a fork in the road, so I didn't turn around and walked straight into the alley opposite.

The tomb we are going to is in the ancestral hall in the center of the island, and as long as the direction is right, I can go there, and I recall the location of the ancestral hall as I walk.

According to my estimate, it feels like it should be almost there, but the stone road under my feet seems to be endless, always walking one intersection after another, all the stone roads on the island are almost the same, the more I walk, the more I feel wrong!

"Is it so far?" Chen Muxue asked first.

"I seem to be lost!" I paused, smiling wryly.

"It's also going to get lost. Chen Muxue snorted.

"The fog is too big...... Besides, I'm not so familiar with this island. "I'm going to explain.

"The tomb is in the center of the island, as long as the general direction is good, you can walk to it anywhere. Chen Muxue said a word and walked in front of me.

In this way, our positions were reversed, and Chen Muxue walked in front.

I didn't dare to argue, so I silently followed behind Chen Muxue.

We started moving forward again, this time for a longer time, but the result was the same, it was still an endless stone road, exactly the same plot!

"No, I've always had a good sense of direction. Chen Muxue stopped.

I turned my head to look and sighed.

"Did you notice that we were going around in circles. ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Muxue was stunned for a moment.

"Here. I reached out and pointed to the wall next to me, "I just drew this mark, and we're walking back again." ”

“…… I just drew the arrows on the wall, and I drew a total of nine along the way, and I have already found three. I smiled wryly.

"No way, we haven't turned a corner. Chen Muxue shouted.

"I'm weird too. I frowned: "It's a little abnormal." ”

Chen Muxue was silent for a moment, reached out and picked up a stone from the ground, and then drew a big mark on the wall like me.

"Let's keep walking. Chen Muxue said a word and walked forward.

Along the way, Chen Muxue kept drawing marks on the wall, and when we reached the ninth, we found the mark she first drawn.

"Another round and turn. I scratched my head.

Chen Muxue stared at the mark on the wall and didn't speak for a long time.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"My watch is down. I replied.

"Mine also stopped. Chen Muxue muttered.

I looked up at the sky, I couldn't see anything, the surroundings were completely covered in thick fog, I could only see a radius of ten meters, maybe not ten meters, I found that the encirclement of the dense fog had tightened a little.

"Impossible, I don't believe it!" Chen Muxue waved his arm: "Let's try again!"

"No need to try!" I stretched out my hand to stop Chen Muxue.

"What are you doing!" Chen Muxue took a step back like a frightened rabbit.

"Don't you think it's strange that from the time we went up to the island, I heard some voices that you didn't, these fogs...... And me!" I said slowly, raising my hands and showing my palms.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Muxue stared at me.

"That wasn't me last night! I thought I was ...... But that's not me, I can't seem to control myself, remember what I told you about Yu Na, just like at that time, I was a little out of control. I explained.

“…… I'm not shirking, I've been wondering what must be affecting me on this island!" I replied.

Chen Muxue listened to me quietly, and then she fell silent.

"What is it...... can have such an impact. Chen Muxue asked softly.

"Fog!" I spat out a word.

"I suspect it's this thick fog, when I went to the island, I thought the fog on the lake was not normal, and this time the island is foggy again, don't you think this fog is weird!"

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Muxue asked, her tone no longer so cold, obviously my words moved her.

"Find a way out first, and then we will be trapped here. I said.

Chen Muxue nodded.

Seeing that she agreed, I began to look for a way out according to my own ideas, and instead of trying to go to the center of the island, I walked to the periphery, and I still drew marks along the way, and after a few attempts we found a way out very smoothly, and we returned to the house where we had lived before.

I let out a sigh of relief when I walked through the door!

When I returned to the familiar room, my heart relaxed.

"I'm starving, I'm going to cook something to eat. "I glanced at the brazier, and the fire in the brazier was gone.

"You go and make a fire, and I'll look for food. Chen Muxue said.

"Hmm. I nodded, and went out into the yard with the brazier.

There was still fog in the yard, but it had faded a lot, everything around me was gray, I couldn't see the sky, I didn't know the time, I made a fire in the yard, and I went into the house with a brazier.

"I didn't have much dry firewood, so I didn't expect to be stuck here. "I said something while cooking porridge.

Chen Muxue squatted in front of the brazier, holding a spoon and stirring slowly.

"I blame you. Suddenly, Chen Muxue said.

I jerked my head up.

"You don't blame me. ”

"Not what you intended...... I'm not that unreasonable. Chen Muxue said in a mosquito-like voice.

Chen Muxue's words were like a shot in the arm, which made me feel better.

"The world is big, the belly is the biggest, eat a full meal first, and then talk about it. I laughed.

The house slowly warmed up, and the haze seemed to dissipate a lot under the firelight, and the sky outside the house slowly darkened, and the rain began to fall again.
