Chapter 195: Apricot Blossom (Part II)

Xinghua didn't understand the old lady's words at all, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

"Don't you have a crush on the hairy moon? If we go like this, we might run into dirty. ”

When she was in the house, Xinghua heard similar things from other maids.

Fox fairy, hang ghost...... But no one has seen it with their own eyes.

Every time Xinghua listens to them talk about these ghosts and gods, they are nonsense, where are so many demons and monsters in the world?

Faced with the old lady's worries, she didn't take it to heart, but said lightly: "Mother-in-law, why don't you stay, it's not far away, it's okay for me to go over by myself." ”

"Eh, girl, I didn't mean that", the old lady tucked the remaining mouthful of sweet potato into her arms, and continued: "I am, we might as well rest for the night today, we have come so far, not worse than one or two." ”

Xinghua looked embarrassed: "No, I have to hurry up, it's been more than three months now, I'm afraid something will happen to my wife." Eh, don't worry, I look like I look like I am, and I'm almost the same as Hanako. ”

Look at the face of the apricot blossom, it was still pink and tender, but now it has become a hemp potato. The old lady looked at the ground and nodded:

"I'm not worried about this now, it's better not to go on a hairy moon night, the older generation is right, this ...... Eh, why don't you listen to me? ”

Halfway through the old lady's words, Xinghua was already a little impatient, so she walked out.

Only the old man was left alone in place, muttering in his mouth.

"Alas, sir, bless this girl with a smooth journey!"

Although Xinghua looks quiet and quiet, her personality is really strong, and she must do it if she is able to talk about things.

But after listening to the old lady's words, my heart began to be vague.

In the early autumn evenings, the wind often blows. The wind rustles the leaves. The howl of animals from nowhere, every time it sounds, it will startle the apricot blossom in a cold sweat.

She stood still, looked at the distant hillside through the hazy moonlight, and crossed this ridge, which is the boundary under the jurisdiction of Jishui County.

But to go to the in-laws of the husband's granddaughter, you have to walk at least two times.

"Whew......"

Xinghua's concentrated attention was frightened enough by such a call, and she ran up unconsciously.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be someone over there."

She muttered as she ran, and from time to time she looked back behind her.

After running for five minutes, she slowed down in exhaustion, put her hands on her knees, and bent over to try to adjust her breathing.

"Isn't that right?"

Xinghua felt that something was wrong when she ran just now, and the ridge was only twenty or thirty meters away from her, even if she was running slowly, she should have arrived for so long.

When her breathing eased, she looked up and froze.

In a panic, Xinghua subconsciously muttered: "This, how can this be so far?" ”

When she encountered this kind of thing for the first time in her life, she immediately thought of the old lady's words before leaving, and began to complain about herself in her heart.

When the mood stabilized a little, Xinghua comforted herself: "It's so dark, I must have seen it wrong." Yes, I read the wrong ......."

While talking to himself, he walked forward.

This time she didn't look back, but used a stone on the mountain as a reference, and after walking a few steps, she measured the distance with her eyes.

Sure enough, after walking for half an hour, I came to the top of the mountain.

But what she saw next was so shocking that she even had cold blood.

In front, there is an identical mountain range.

Xinghua leaned over to observe the stone she had used as a reference just now, and then raised her eyes to look at the mountains in the distance, where the same stone was placed.

"Impossible!"

She thought she must have misremembered, and that the road might really be connected by several mountains.

So, she took a break, and then continued to walk forward using the method of reference.

One ridge, two ridges, three ridges...... When they walked to the ninth ridge, the apricot blossom collapsed.

Sitting on the ground, looking at the endless mountains in the distance, my heart was really hit by the old lady this time.

That feeling of regret poured into my heart like a mountain of seas.

However, there is much more to it than that.

When you walk through the third ridge, the surrounding environment has never changed. The only change was the sudden fog.

Fog is very common, but it only blocks the sides, not the fog in front and behind, and the apricot blossoms have really never seen it.

It's as if there is a ghost at work, guiding her down. But what the final destination will be, she doesn't know.

She is in a dilemma, so it is better to stay where she is, and wait for the light to go again.

So, she moved to the side of the road, leaning against a large tree the thickness of her arms, intending to squint for a moment.

The quiet atmosphere brought her to sleep in a moment.

"Smack."

A drop of cool water droplets fell from the tree to the forehead of the apricot blossom. She scratched reflexively, then turned to her side and went back to sleep.

"Pop ......"

The water droplets one after another have begun to fall crackling, waking up the sleeping apricot blossoms directly.

I looked down at my wet clothes, and then I looked up, and there were no clouds in my heart, so why was it raining.

Just as she was about to bow her head, she suddenly noticed that a black shadow seemed to move on the branch.

Because it is obscured by the leaves and dark, it is impossible to tell whether it is a person or an animal.

Just as she was puzzled and wanted to get up to take a closer look, another drop of water fell from there and hit the tip of her nose.

Xinghua rubbed it with her hand, then put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, almost throwing up in disgust.

There was a strong smell of decay, and she didn't know what kind of liquid it was, so she hurried to the road with a disgusted face.

I lowered my head and smelled my clothes, they all smelled the same, shameful and smelly.

Suddenly, I thought of the maid in the house, and the fox smelled of it, and I immediately wondered if it would be a big fox lying on the tree.

Curiosity is Rao's nature, thinking of the apricot blossoms here, he has forgotten that he is still deeply lost

She walked to the tree, and she had to see with her own eyes whether it was a fox hiding in the tree.

At this time, a cool breeze blew again, and the fog was lightened.

When I came to the tree, I picked up a stone from the ground, and after looking up for it, I always felt that something was not right.

The part that was obscured by the leaves just now seems to have been lifted open. She crouched down and looked at the freshly broken branches scattered on the ground, and was puzzled for a moment.

However, she didn't know that there were two people behind her, staring at her.
