(Thank you Shannhf for your support, thank you very much!)

While walking in the strange forest, while listening to this forest version of the ghost story, it is of course impossible to say that there is no chill in the heart.

In particular, Liu Tao really saw many strange things in the forest with his own eyes, and confirmed the strangeness in the forest through the organization's scientific and technological system, which naturally deepened his sense of fear.

Although along the way, because of the correct route, and for some inexplicable reasons, the group of them did not suffer the slightest damage, but the chill in Liu Tao's heart was growing little by little, if it was possible, he really hoped to be far away from this strange forest, and it was best not to even be next to the edge.

A huge, bee the size of an adult's finger, flew like a cloud......

Bursts of poisonous miasma rose from the mire from time to time like colored smoke......

Patches of animal bones, as well as mutilated human skulls......

Although he didn't see anything more bizarre, those dirty things that seemed to only appear in legends, but all kinds of unimaginable dangers, Liu Tao had already seen enough, and now if one or two live zombies popped up in front of his eyes, he didn't feel strange at all, this was originally a magical hot land, he even saw a white tiger with black and white stripes, and what else is not here, then I'm afraid there are only Transformers.

Fortunately, Liu Tao's heart did not tremble for too long, and after walking for a while, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge gap between the two mountains appeared.

Finally out of that weird old forest!

The strange and gloomy depressing aura in the forest suddenly emptied, and Liu Tao found that even the two sedan chair men who had been silent before, who made him think that he was numb and were not even afraid of death, were unconsciously relieved, and his feet couldn't help but feel a little lighter.

Liu Tao also exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and his heart relaxed a lot.

"Well, the air here is so comfortable to breathe!"

Liu Tao took a few deep breaths, and immediately noticed the strangeness here: the air here is incredibly fresh, inhaling it into his lungs, cool, refreshing, and the whole person's spirit is suddenly lifted.

Moreover, compared to the external environment, everything here seems to have lifted a veil, as if it has been thoroughly washed, everything looks so transparent, so refreshing, so green and poetic.

By the way, just like the scenic business cards of those scenic spots that have undergone special processing, they are fresh and translucent and not like the scenery of the world.

Liu Tong sat on the sedan chair, listening to Liu Tao screaming about his discovery like a dirt bun who had never seen the world, and was proud like a rich man who sold his treasures, and said nonchalantly, "What is this, the sun is dim on this side of the canyon, and there is the yin air in the woods over there, the scenery is the worst here, you have to make a fuss at this time, won't you even be able to speak after a while?"

This made Liu Tao suddenly yearn for a little, thinking about the scenery over there, how gorgeous it should be?

After getting out of the canyon, the eyes suddenly opened up, presented in front of a vast basin, the basin does not know how many kilometers long and wide, but the front of the eyes is open, the scenery is even more clear and beautiful as if entering the fairyland, the sky is as blue and lovely as a jewel, the air is fresh with a hint of sweetness, a gurgling stream, clean as if it is transparent, without a trace of turbidity and pollution, under the sun, the heart is like a shining jade belt, flowing gently from the feet.

Liu Tao couldn't help but bow and taste the stream water, and suddenly felt cool on his body, sweet and thirsty, from the inside to the outside, he was comfortable all over, and picked up a pebble casually, as if with a little jade, it was really amazing.

"This place is really so beautiful, so amazing, I am afraid that if you live in this kind of place for a while, you can live for several more years!"

Liu Tao couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Is this the place where the family swears to protect to the death, it is really unusual! It is beyond imagination.

After walking some more distance, some fields that had been carved out appeared in front of me, and some people working in the fields appeared.

But when he got closer, Liu Tao found that these people were ragged, unkempt, and didn't even have a pair of intact shoes, some were barefoot, some people were simply wearing simple straw sandals on their feet, and they were all even more emaciated and terrible, with obvious dishes on their faces, looking at the eyes of Liu Tao and others, some were wooden, some were angry, but without exception, they all had deep hatred, but some people's hatred was straightforward and intense, and some people were deeply hidden.

Liu Tao believes that if it weren't for the fact that even when these people were working, they were overseen by some Liu clansmen with whips like slave owners, and these overseers were not only strong and strong, but also unabashedly carried knives in their waists, and these people would have rioted directly.

When he got closer, Liu Tao found that some people who looked a little stronger even had anklets on their feet, which could not be removed even when they were working.

"These people are very dishonest in their work, right?"

Liu Tao had already roughly guessed what was going on, and asked so vaguely intentionally.

Liu Tong really spoke, and his tone was a little cruel and cruel, "These cheap people, not to mention dishonest, they don't know how to be obedient if they don't fight, they generally don't grind for a few years, they don't know how to work honestly." ”

"These guys are the lowest serfs, they live in a nearby shed, they have to be locked up when they sleep at night, and they have to confiscate all the farm tools and everything, so that they can sleep well with peace of mind. ”

Liu Tao watched silently, and he really didn't know what to say.

Soon, he saw the so-called shed, it was really a shed, a shack with leaky air in all directions, layers of blackened straw were laid on the ground, and one or two people were sleeping soundly in the vague shack, maybe they were sick, holding the straw and hugging each other to keep warm, I felt that although I was a human here, I was really alive and even a ghost was not as good as a ghost.

However, as we went deeper, the situation changed a little, and there were primitive and simple wooden houses in front of me, surrounding the small wooden houses, and patches of farmland were also cultivated here, some of which were planted with grain and some with vegetables.

The people who work here are generally older, and no one is looking, although the clothes are ragged, they are much better than the people before, and even these people have formed a certain family, faintly, in some small cabins, you can see a pair of blinking children's eyes.

Seeing Liu Tao and his party passing by, some of these young farmers hid in fear, some stood next to the fields and watched quietly, and some bowed from a distance, looking respectful, showing that they had been completely tamed, accepted their fate, and partially recognized.

"These farmers, the old man said that they are all valuable assets in the Zhuangzi, and they can't be killed easily, Brother Taozi, you should also pay attention, you can't come here to make trouble at will, otherwise these guys will sue, and the old man also protects them, really, you used to be able to play casually, but now it's not good. ”

Saying that, Liu Tong looked a little unhappy, and casually gave his palanquin man two whips, which made their muscles twitch for a while, but he couldn't even snort a word.

Deeper into the place, it is where the members of the Liu family live, most of which are prefabricated houses built with materials, and only a few are fixed cement houses.

Although the conditions here are relatively simple, they are relatively modern, and some dense solar panels are placed in places that are not suitable for farmland, to provide these Liu residents with the electricity necessary for modern life.

Liu Tong came to the outside of a cement house, jumped off the sedan chair impatiently, said a few polite words, and said goodbye to Liu Fang, and hurriedly hid in the house to play games.

After that, Liu Fang took Liu Tao to meet his grandfather again.

Here Liu Tao was taken aback again.

In my impression, my grandfather is in his seventies, although his body and bones have always been quite good, but when he sees his ancestors during the New Year's holidays, he is already quite old, his hair is gray, his back is obviously bent, and he looks like he is not forgiving.

Now Liu Tao saw his grandfather again, but found that his grandfather was as young as a thirty-year-old man, his hair was as black and shiny as his father, fluffy and dense, and even his skin was still healthy and full, with a luster rich in vitality, where there was a trace of aging.

If it weren't for the fact that when his grandfather saw him, he still had a familiar and kind face, and Liu Tao would still think that his grandfather was transferred by someone.

After calming down, and thinking of his father's young appearance, Liu Tao finally understood that perhaps this was the real reason why the family was crazy about this secret land...... There's a secret to immortality, or at least longevity!

It is for this purpose that the family paid a huge price to build this paradise that belongs to the Liu family.

After a few days of familiarization, Liu Tao finally found an opportunity to put some drugs given to him by the organization in the meals of his grandfather and Liu Tong's kid...... As for his father's share, it was naturally already under the order early in the morning.

Liu Tao did all this with only one request, that is, to let his father go and leave his old man's life.

Sima Mulong agreed without hesitation.
