As soon as Lin Hai said these words, Qing Songzi suddenly screamed secretly in his heart, and his face instantly turned pale.
Lin Hai looked at him, his face suddenly turned cold, and he spoke calmly.
"Why, are you scared?"
When Qing Songzi saw Lin Hai's sharp, sword-like eyes, she couldn't help but be frightened, and she gritted her teeth and felt relieved.
"Senior Lin, I admit that I am afraid, but if Senior Lin really decides to go, I, Qingsongzi, will risk my life and accompany him on this journey!"
"I don't need to ask. Wherever Senior Lin goes, I will follow him!" Kang Shifu said with a smile on his side, but his tone was particularly firm.
"Okay!" Lin Hai looked at the two people and nodded silently.
"Master Yifan asked me to go there at noon tomorrow. If so, we will go down the mountain to rest for one night and set off on time at noon tomorrow!"
Qing Songzi and Kang Shifu nodded at the same time, and they followed Lin Hai down the mountain.
"Senior Lin, this is far away from Liangzhou City. Why don't we stay overnight at a villager's house? What do you think?" Kang Shifu asked Lin Hai.
"Okay!" Lin Hai nodded, that's exactly what he meant!
The three people walked to a house at the foot of the mountain and knocked on the door. The door opened and it was the little girl from before.
"You are back, have you met Master Yifan?"
"I see!" Lin Hai smiled and nodded, speaking with a kind face.
"Little sister, the three of us have to go up the mountain tomorrow. We would like to stay at your house for the night today. Do you think it's okay?"
"This..." the little girl looked hesitant, "I have to ask my parents."
"Sakura, who is outside?" At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice sounded in the house.
"Wait a minute!" Xiaoying smiled apologetically at Lin Hai, turned around and went back to the room. After a while, she walked out again and smiled sweetly at Lin Hai and the others.
"Three guests, please come in, my parents agree!"
"So, thank you very much!" Lin Hai clasped his fists and followed Sakura into the house.
"We have a few guests who live in a simple home. Please bear with me!" Xiaoying's parents looked like honest and humble mountain people with simplicity on their faces. They looked at Lin Hai and others with a somewhat reserved smile.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry for bothering you!" Lin Hai felt very fond of these two couples who looked very friendly at first glance, and replied politely.
"You guys sit down first. His father went hunting in the morning and killed a wild boar. I'm going to cook it for a stew!" Xiaoying's mother smiled shyly and went to work in the kitchen.
"I'm going to help!" Sakura smiled shyly and followed her mother.
Xiaoying's father coughed slightly, rubbed his hands, and looked at Lin Hai with some restraint. His mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say. He was obviously not good at talking.
"Uncle, do you often hunt in the nearby mountains?" Lin Hai smiled and said gently.
"Yeah, yeah, I've basically traveled all over the nearby mountains." Sakura's father said with a grin.
"So, have you been to Hanyue Pond?"
"Hanyue Pond?" Sakura's father's face suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost, showing a look of extreme fear, and his whole body could not help but tremble.
"Huh?" Lin Hai's eyes narrowed, and he just asked casually. He didn't expect that this simple man would have such a big reaction.
"There is a devil there, it's terrible, it's terrible!"
After speaking with a look of horror, Xiaoying's father turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Lin Hai and others looking at each other in shock.
"Could it be that Xiaoying's father, a mortal, has ever been close to Hanyue Pond?" Lin Hai's eyes flickered in confusion, thinking.
The meal was ready in a short time. Xiaoying's mother was a good cook. This was the first time for Lin Hai to eat wild boar meat. He felt that it had a unique taste. His appetite increased and his mouth was filled with oil.
Xiaoying and her mother looked at Lin Hai and others eating so deliciously, with faces full of joy. Only Xiaoying's father seemed to have something on his mind, with a look of despair and listlessness on his face.
There were only three rooms in Xiaoying's house. After dinner, Lin Hai and the three of them stayed in one room. As soon as they entered the room, Lin Hai didn't care about Qing Songzi and Kang Shifu, and directly sat down cross-legged and started practicing.
I don't know how long it took, but Lin Hai suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
"Who's there!"
As soon as Lin Hai opened his mouth, Kang Shifu next to him jumped up, reached the door, and suddenly opened the door!
"Is it you?" He saw Sakura's father standing at the door with a look of panic on his face.
"Uncle, it's so late, is something okay?" Lin Hai was surprised for a while. He had long felt that this mountain man was a little abnormal, but he didn't expect that he would run outside his house so late at night.
Lin Hai's question didn't matter, Xiaoying's father suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Hai with a thud.
Lin Hai was suddenly startled and quickly stood up.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Sir, I can see that you are not ordinary people. I beg you, please save our little Sakura!"
Lin Hai couldn't help but frown, his face full of surprise.
"What's wrong Sakura?"
"Xiaoying is not our biological daughter, she comes from Hanyue Pond!"
"What did you say!" Lin Hai's eyes suddenly widened, with a look of disbelief on his face!
"What's going on?" Lin Hai helped Xiaoying's father up and asked in surprise.
Sakura's father sighed, with deep fear and despair in his eyes.
"Eighteen years ago, I went hunting in the mountains and chased an injured elk. I accidentally hit the mountainside where Hanyue Pond is located, and saw a terrifying scene that I will never forget!"
"A group of ferocious and terrifying men, holding sharp knives, crazily slaughtered a group of unarmed and alluring women. The methods were cruel and extremely bloody. Within ten minutes, all the women were killed, and their bodies were
Man, carry it to the top of the peak and enter the forbidden Hanyue Pond!"
"Impossible, how is it possible that someone can enter Hanyue Pond!" Qing Songzi was standing aside and couldn't help but interrupt!
"Listen to him!" Lin Hai glared at Qingsongzi. When he saw Xiaoying's father, the fear seeping into his bones was absolutely impossible. It seems that Xiaoying's identity is not simple!
Sakura's father calmed down his breathing and continued.
"When I saw this terrible scene, I was paralyzed with fear. Fortunately, I was far away and was not discovered. After they left, I quickly got up and ran away in a hurry."
"But at this moment, a clear and clear cry of a baby suddenly came from not far away. I took courage, walked over, and found a baby girl wrapped in cotton in the cave."
"That baby girl is Xiaoying?" Lin Hai asked.
"That's right!" Sakura's father nodded, "A baby suddenly appeared in this place. I thought it must be related to those people before. I didn't want to be troublesome, but when Sakura saw me, she suddenly stopped crying.
Instead, he smiled at me."
"My husband and I have no children. Her smile made my heart soften. So I plucked up the courage to secretly take Sakura home and lied that she was our daughter. I raised her for eighteen years."
"Isn't this great? Why did you ask me to save her?" Lin Hai asked, somewhat puzzled.
After hearing this, Xiaoying's father suddenly looked at the clock beside the bed and couldn't help but smile sadly.
