The old man walked very fast. The further he walked, the thicker the bushes under his feet became. The soil under his feet was also a little soft, making it difficult for him to exert his strength. After walking for a while, Shangguan Tang had already begun to breathe heavily with his hands on his hips.
I got angry and had to stop and rest for a while.
"Young people are just spoiled. They can't bear to go this far."
The old man's tone was a little cold, as if he was really condemning her.
Shangguan Tang was a little ashamed. Her pregnant body was very easily exhausted. She regretted running to Mingshan Mountain so impulsively, but when she thought of the Shangguan family waiting for her to save, she took a few deep breaths and hurriedly followed.
All the way, there were no words.
The old man's back looks weak, but his steps are very steady. Shangguantang is ashamed of himself, but he also speeds up his steps, trying not to put too much distance between them. After all, she wants something from the other person.
.
After the old man walked through the vines under his feet, the road became much smoother. Shangguantang followed behind, which was not very strenuous. However, the further he walked in, the darker the sky became, and the surrounding area seemed to be enveloped by a layer of water vapor, making it difficult for Shangguan Tang to follow.
People can't breathe easily enough.
"Grandpa, when can I arrive?"
She looked at her watch. It was now past four in the afternoon, and she had been walking along this mountain stream for nearly three hours. However, the scenery in front of her seemed to be exactly the same, with no sign of flat ground at all.
"Little girl, why are you panicking? You'll be here soon."
The old man's voice penetrated the water vapor in the air and reached Shangguantang's ears, forming several weak echoes in the valley. For some reason, Shangguantang felt a sense of terror.
After walking for about half an hour, the scenery in front of me gradually changed. After turning a corner, the tall trees that previously blocked the view seemed to disappear in an instant. The view in front of me was quite wide, and the sound of gurgling water reached my ears.
"arrive."
The old man suddenly appeared next to her. When she turned around and saw a wrinkled face, Shangguantang's heart stopped for half a beat.
"Is this right here?"
She suppressed the inexplicable fear in her heart and asked.
"Um."
The old man responded lightly, turned around, and looked for something in the open land at his feet.
Shangguantang looked around carefully. The altitude where she was now was probably several hundred meters above sea level. This open space was like a piece of land suddenly rising up. She was a little doubtful that there was oil underneath.
"Grandpa, are you sure you are looking for the right place?"
As soon as he said these words, Shangguan Tang regretted it. The old man who had lowered his head suddenly raised his head, a light burst out from his cloudy eyes, and his two sharp and long teeth seemed to shine with a cold light.
"What do you mean?"
The words that came out of the mouth that could not control the wind became more and more eerie and terrifying on the mountainous ground hundreds of meters above sea level.
Shangguan Tang couldn't help but take a few steps back. The old man in front of him looked very different from the kind one he saw at first. There was no one around him, and suddenly a crow flew over his head with a shrill cry.
The old man glanced at her, with a strange smile on his face. He knelt down, put the jar in his hand on the ground, pulled off the lid, and poured out the contents.
Shangguan Tang's eyes were filled with excitement after seeing what was poured out of the jar. It actually contained Ming coins!!!
She heard her heart beating violently, and she was almost certain that she had met a madman!
