I never thought that Hu Qiu would say such things to me. Her purpose in marrying me was not simple!
Then why did she choose me?
This sentence is like a thorn piercing my heart! It's still the kind of thorn with a barb.
Although I have never been in love, I know that I have fallen deeply in love with this girl!
However, Hu Qiu did not answer my question.
She gently arched into my arms and pressed her head tightly against my chest.
I know she can hear my heartbeat!
But my heart is not as strong as before!
Sometimes, the next words from the person you care about may lead to an abyss!
I didn't ask again, because I knew that Hu Qiu was different from other girls. She was smart, wise, and had her own opinions. She would definitely say what she needed to say. If she didn't want to say it, it would be useless for me to ask.
So I'm waiting, I want to wait for her to say it herself.
But Hu Qiu never spoke, and we just kept bumping up and down in the river.
She didn't speak, and I didn't know how to speak. This reminded me of a very popular saying at the moment.
The farthest distance in the world is not the ends of the earth but the fact that you are right in front of me, yet relatively speechless.
The sentence is very beautiful, but it shows a lot of helplessness! Thinking about it makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
Just like that, I don’t know how long it took.
Suddenly, the barrel made a banging sound, as if it hit something, and then stopped.
I quickly cheered up, knowing that what was supposed to come would eventually come.
Hu Qiu also cheered up and sat up from my arms, but she held my hand harder.
I felt like she was scared. I had never felt such a strong emotion from her.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." I said quickly.
"I'm sorry, Jiuyang, I know I shouldn't say this to you, but I'm afraid if I don't say it, I won't have a chance in the future," Hu Qiu said.
"What are you talking about? Don't worry, it will be fine, I promise you!" I said.
I was full of confidence, but at this moment I didn't expect that Hu Qiu's words contained a profound meaning that I had never imagined.
Hu Qiu nodded, gently breathing the thin air in the barrel, suddenly holding my face gently with his hands, and suddenly asked me.
"Jiuyang, do you believe in fate?"
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she asked this. After thinking about it, I nodded.
"I believe that just like when I first met you, I felt that there was a kind of destiny between us!" I told the truth.
Hu Qiu suddenly laughed, smiling very happily!
"So you believe it too!" she said.
I'm not stupid, I naturally understand the meaning of her question.
"Are you trying to tell me that the reason you chose to marry me was because of fate?" I asked her.
Hu Qiu fell silent again.
I know that silence represents acquiescence.
Fate?
Maybe Hu Qiu has never liked me!
"It seems that my grandfather is hiding something from me. Can you tell me?" I asked.
"Yes, I will certainly do it, I promise you, but not now." Hu Qiu said.
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, I suddenly felt that the barrel was being lifted up. I quickly looked out through the hole and could clearly see a villager carrying the barrel away from the river.
I know, it should be docked.
I just don’t know what kind of fate we will encounter next?
Will the secret of longevity village emerge?
As the barrel was lifted out of the water, I could see outside through the hole, but the direction was constantly rotating.
This seems to be a valley, because you can see towering mountains not far away.
As the direction changed, I was shocked to discover something.
From the hole, I actually saw that the canyon was filled with countless wooden barrels.
They are piled together like hills, hundreds or thousands, densely packed!
It's just that these wooden barrels look different, whether in size or style, they don't seem to belong to the same era.
Some are badly damaged and rotted into dust, some are scattered all over the place, some are crooked and barely distinguishable, and some are well preserved with little damage.
A breath of time from ancient times to the present emanates from these wooden barrels, giving people the illusion of a changing world.
I was deeply shocked by this scene!
These wooden barrels should be used to hold people. If a wooden barrel represents a person, how many people have been here?
Were they all transported here this way?
But where did they go next?
Dead?
This is the only guess I can make in my mind.
With a muffled bang, the wooden barrel containing me was placed on the ground by the villagers. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the hole in front of me happened to face these mountain-like piles of wooden barrels.
My eyes quickly searched among these wooden barrels.
Soon, I saw what I wanted to see.
That's a white skeleton!
Not far from me, his head hung out of the hole in one of the barrels.
The two dark eyes seemed to be looking at me, which gave me a creepy feeling.
When I saw this scene, I knew that this place was just as I suspected.
Soon, I found the second skeleton in the wood, followed by the third, and the fourth...
At first glance, I don't know if there are thousands of them.
If there really is hell in this world, then it must be right in front of me.
Looking at this mountain of corpses, I felt that my whole body was cold and there was no trace of warmth.
Even if it is Abi Hell, it is nothing more than this!
It turns out that the so-called longevity village turns out to be a world of sin.
On the surface, it looks like spring all year round, but behind the scenes, this village is actually so terrifying.
At this time, I saw a figure shaking, and the villagers actually walked around the barrel.
Although I couldn't see clearly, I could vaguely notice that they seemed to be forming a circle.
After these villagers stood still, they were as motionless as wax statues.
They didn't take any further action against us, which made me a little confused.
This all seems very strange.
Are they just planning to put us here and starve to death?
I didn't dare to act rashly, so I put my ear to the edge of the bucket and listened carefully to the sound.
I'm waiting for Zhao Jiuzhou!
Even if we encounter big trouble, I believe he should be the most anxious!
After all, among these people are his biological brothers, and Zhou Qingyang, the eldest young master from the imperial capital. Although I haven’t figured out Zhou Qingyang’s specific identity yet, I already have some guesses that this eldest son Zhou must be a
A great official descendant.
Zhao Jiuzhou has not taken action yet, which means he is still waiting and watching, so I am not in a hurry.
I don’t know how much time passed like this, but during the boring wait, I slowly fell asleep.
Suddenly, I felt a strong wind blowing outside, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, and I suddenly lost all sleep.
The whistling wind blew by very fast, and then, above my invisible head, a bell suddenly rang.
