The group of people walked through the woods and grass, shuttled among the greenery as far as the eye could see.
From the bright day to the dusky evening.
"Should we also think about where to stay if we can't find the cave tonight?" The fool reminded everyone who was concentrating on finding the cave.
This question is...
Several people looked at each other, a little dumbfounded.
We all traveled completely light, not to mention tents, and we didn’t even prepare much food.
After all, I didn't plan to stay here for a long time at first. The original plan was very simple. I sneaked into the village and walked along the original road behind the ancestral hall. Maybe I could find clues about the missing Miaomiao and the six girls.
"One more thing," the fool saw that everyone's attention had finally shifted and quickly added, "Have you ever felt that we have been here before?"
Although the green eyes are no different, this familiar feeling is not an illusion.
"We seem to have traveled all over the place," Maple Sugar said with pale lips and frowned as he looked around, "There are no caves. There are no caves at all in the entire back mountain."
"As I said, that cave is really hard to find," the boss said angrily, looking around, "There's only..."
"Look over there!" A scream attracted everyone's attention.
Xiaoyin's eyes widened and she pointed at the village from afar, her voice was sharp and trembling.
With her heart beating violently, Xiaolan followed her fingers and counted.
The sound of the heartbeat was as clear as the drum beat in the ears. In this regular rhythm, everything became tense.
"Is that..." Xiaoyin took a few steps back unconsciously, "Are you from the village?"
In a slightly lower place in the distance, there were flickering lights of fire, accompanied by trembling trees and flying birds, walking straight towards them.
"How do they know we're here?" The fool glanced over suspiciously.
"Don't make random guesses!" Pineapple hugged Xiaolan, "Do you still remember the pair of eyes that peeked at us last time at the back door of the ancestral hall? We were wandering around here, and someone probably discovered us."
It's not that simple.
Xiaolan looked at the sky around her. The feeling of being watched had already started from the moment they went up the mountain.
That feeling does not come from a specific point or a specific direction.
That feeling comes from all directions on this mountain.
"Where are we going now?" Xiaoyin grabbed the Taoist priest's clothes.
The Taoist priest frowned and looked at the boss.
The boss understood, "There is no hiding place in the mountains. Unless we can find a cave, otherwise we can only... we can only run in the opposite direction first..."
Xiaolan looked in the opposite direction. If she ran there, she would gradually enter the mountains. But if she didn't run, the consequences of being caught...
"Let's go," the Taoist priest said in a low but powerful voice, "enter the mountain and then think of a way!"
The few people ran without much hesitation and were once again chased by villagers. However, the person who saved them last time was now a refugee like them.
"Why are they so obsessed with catching us?" The fool asked as he ran, "We send out such a large formation every time, do we pose any threat to them?"
"Is it because we found out what the village is doing?" Xiaoyin spoke with a slight breath.
"That's not a secret anymore," the boss said, holding on to a tree trunk. "Everyone here knows what Lianshui Village has done. The villagers have always been confident. Except for the people who were sold in, you are indeed the first wave to let the villagers
People who go to war."
What's so special about us?
"I saw someone!" Pineapple shouted, grabbing her boyfriend and running faster.
They are too fast.
In the mountains, there is no way I can outrun the villagers.
"Don't be afraid," the Taoist priest grabbed Xiaolan's arm, "They won't do anything."
"Why?"
"Didn't you notice?" The Taoist priest tried to breathe evenly, "They are not capturing us, but forcing us to move closer in one direction." This chapter has been completed!
