"We'd better get out of here as soon as possible." Lu Zhaoling glanced out the window with some concern.

"But there are a lot of people staring at Shiro, and I don't know if they will lock us here tonight." Yang Che said.

Lu Zhaoling suddenly remembered something: "If you want to use us as sacrifices, why do you have to send us into the mountains?" There must be something strange in the mountains. ”

“…… Do you want to find out? ”

"I thought, if we can go tonight, we'll get out of here. If you can't...... When Ming went to find Chinar, he wanted to familiarize himself with the mountain environment in advance, so that he could find someone to take us into the mountain. Lu Zhaoling looked at Shen Fengjiu, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Fengjiu nodded.

"Then what if we enter the mountain tomorrow and An Nian? I'm afraid there will be danger in the mountains, but it's not appropriate to leave him alone in this town. Yang Che thought about the malicious gazes of the townspeople, and felt relieved.

"Hmm......" Lu Zhaoling looked at Yang Che thoughtfully.

“…… What do you mean? Yang Che vaguely knew what Lu Zhaoling wanted, "No!" Why is it always me? ”

Yang Che took the lead and wanted to refuse, but ......

"It's the best way for you to stay and keep the New Year." Lu Zhaoling smiled helplessly.

Damn it...... This bunny net drags me down!

Yang Che glanced at An Nian, who was sleeping in a daze, with hatred.

That night, sure enough, someone came to lock it again.

So the next morning, Lu Zhaoling went out to find China.

Together with Shen Fengjiu, she endured the evil words and white eyes of the townspeople along the way, and barely inquired about China's residence.

Chyna didn't refuse, and opened the door and invited the two into the house

Lu Zhaoling thought about it again.

"What about the other two?" Chyna asked.

"Still resting." China's question made Lu Zhaoling feel a little strange.

"Call your companions and wait for me at the altar, and I will find someone to take you into the mountain." Chinar Road.

"It's just to explore the way, it's enough to have the two of us go." Lu Zhaoling said with a frown.

Chyna glanced at her and said unquestioningly, "The four of you must go together." ”

"Why? We also have a child among us. Lu Zhaoling naturally refused to obey.

"The four of you must go into the mountain together, which is something that only 'outsiders' can do, and it is because of this that Yantu Town will continue to accept you outsiders." Chinar Road.

This was so misty that Chyna didn't bother to explain more, and walked away.

What to do?

Lu Zhaoling hesitated in place for a while, and looked at Shen Fengjiu uncertainly: "The day of sacrifice has not yet arrived, there shouldn't be any danger today?" ”

"It's okay, I'm here." Shen Fengjiu said lightly.

Lu Zhaoling was stunned, and felt like he had missed a beat in his heart.

"Then, then let's go and call Yang Che and An Nian." She hurriedly turned around, not wanting Shen Fengjiu to see her suddenly flushed cheeks.

But there was a chuckle from Shen Fengjiu behind him.

Lu Zhaoling panicked and rushed out like a rabbit.

When he came to the altar as agreed, he was already waiting there with his people.

China led a group of ten men, all of whom were strong men, armed with crossbows in their left hands and spears in their right.

Looking at this posture, I was worried that we would run away.

Lu Zhaoling thought in his heart.

Then Lu Zhaoling and his entourage, under the leadership or encirclement of this ten-person team, came to the foot of a mountain outside the town.

What made Lu Zhaoling feel strange was that after walking not far up from the foot of the mountain, the Shirao team stopped, and it seemed that they did not intend to continue to follow them into the mountain.

One of the men who seemed to be the leader of the team motioned to Lu Zhaoling and they continued to move forward, and he led the team to turn around and go down the mountain.

This......

Lu Zhaoling looked back and forth wordlessly.

The mountains here are not towering, and they are by no means precipitous, this group of people left like this, aren't they afraid that Lu Zhaoling and them will flee directly over the mountain range?

Or are they sure that as long as they continue to go deeper, it will be difficult for Lu Zhaoling and his party to escape from this mountain range?

Lu Zhaoling stood in place for a while, not in a hurry.

After a moment, she looked into the distance.

Sure enough, the ten-man team had already spread out at the bottom of the mountain, and if they wanted to go down the mountain and leave, they would definitely be discovered.

What's in the mountains?

Lu Zhaoling became more and more curious.

"Let's go." She said a word and led the way towards the mountain.

After climbing up for a while, the people at the foot of the mountain were almost invisible. Suddenly, Lu Zhaoling heard a slight "meow~", she lowered her head and saw a flower poking out of An Nian's neckline.

"Why didn't I see you, so you were hiding here." Lu Zhaoling smiled and rubbed the hairball.

Hua screamed twice again, twisted out of An Nian's chest, and gently jumped onto Lu Zhaoling's shoulder.

Lu Zhaoling touched the smooth fur of the flowers, and his mood was much more relaxed.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhaoling felt that time passed quickly, they didn't encounter anything abnormal along the way, and as they walked, they found that they seemed to have reached the top of the mountain unconsciously.

Is that all?

Lu Zhaoling looked around blankly.

Then continue walking in the direction ahead and see if you can try to go down the hill from the other side.

Lu Zhaoling made up his mind, and the group did not stay on the top of the mountain for long, and acted again.

If there is really nothing unusual, go down the mountain smoothly...... Isn't there any terrible conspiracy in Mingyantu Town? Do you want to come back and help them? After all, they provided water and food for Lu Zhaoling and his party when they were in danger, as well as a locked but sheltered place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Lu Zhaoling walked while thinking, and was a little distracted in the process, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong around him.

"Wait a minute...... ...... here" As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Yang Che also looking at her.

"I was thinking, this doesn't seem like the way down the mountain." Yang Che said.

Lu Zhaoling nodded.

It's not that the place they are in now is very familiar, but after walking for a long time, they find that the terrain is gradually rising.

"What's going on? I had already reached the top of the mountain just now, and after looking around, there was no higher place than there. Lu Zhaoling felt incredulous, "Besides, ......"

"Besides, I didn't feel it all the way, and I didn't realize that the road under my feet was uphill until just now." Yang Che answered.

Lu Zhaoling looked ahead, judging from the current terrain, they were obviously halfway up the mountain.

"What to do? Moving on? Or go back? Yang Che asked.

"Keep going." Lu Zhaoling thought for a while.

Now I go back, I don't know if I will return to the top of the mountain before. It's better to move on, at least a new path, and see what lies ahead.

After all, this trip is here to explore the way.
