The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Chapter 262 Dense Fog
The sudden footsteps seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts.

Stone suddenly pricked up his ears, listening to the sound of the hastily falling to the ground, his brows furrowed, and he was quite nervous.

Li Yeyu also raised his eyebrows, stared at the direction of the footsteps, and shouted loudly: "Who is it? Come out!"

Slowly, a figure emerged from the fog, a woodcutter who was chopping wood.

Seeing that it was just an ordinary person chopping wood, Shitou and Li Yeyu couldn't help but glance at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Stone took two steps forward and asked aloud, "This old man, I'm bothering you, dare to ask where is this place? Is it possible to pass ahead?"

The woodcutter was cutting wood and saw a group of people passing by, and he didn't care too much. At this moment, someone asked himself, so he stopped and replied:

"This place is called Xiaolong Mountain, and it is [-] miles away from the capital. A few of them are from other places, so I wouldn't be surprised if I don't know that it's impossible to move forward when the road is foggy."

Stone raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this, old man?"

"Oh, it's hard to say!"

The woodcutter sighed softly, pointed to a place and replied, "No, you see."

Several people looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an ancient tomb looming behind the heavy clouds in the distance.

The woodcutter continued, "I don't know if you are from other places. This ancient tomb is very evil. Whenever it appears, there will be fog in the forest, and the fog will trap people in it."

Stone was stunned, "Trapped in it?"

The woodcutter nodded, "This fog is very powerful. Some people come here and can leave smoothly, but some people can't get out since they came in. The old man was trapped when he went up the mountain to chop wood. In this fog for three or four days, I almost died of thirst and starvation."

Hearing the woodcutter say the word "evil", Shen Furong turned their heads in tacit understanding and glanced at the ancient tomb again.

Shitou was amazed, "There is still such a strange thing, why does the fog arise? Isn't there anyone going to the ancient tomb to find out?"

The woodcutter said slowly, "How easy is it to explore the ancient tomb? In such a thick fog, even if you see this ancient tomb close at hand, you will never be able to walk to it until the fog gradually dissipates. When the time comes, the tomb will suddenly disappear again strangely."

After hearing this, Shen Furong in the carriage frowned, how could a large-scale ancient tomb appear out of nowhere and then suddenly disappear?
It's just a distraction.

"However, there are rumors that the entrance to this ancient tomb has long been blocked, and the people buried in the tomb have long been transformed into evil ghosts swallowing clouds. Some people even said that they had heard the ancient The shrill cry from the tomb..."

Speaking of this, the woodcutter did not know what to think, and there was a look of nervousness and anxiety on his face:

"It's nothing but hearsay, and now you have to go back quickly, young people, it will be dark soon, you better not stay here forever!"

"Thank you for this old man."

At this time, Shen Furong in the carriage said, "It's just that the few of us are from outside. We passed by this place. Now it's getting late and we have nowhere to stay, and we got lost here. I wonder if the old man can let us spend the night?"

After she said that, she gave October a look, and October immediately got off the carriage, took out a silver coin, and put it into the woodcutter's hand, "I'm sorry, old man."

The woodcutter looked beyond October again, and looked at Shen Furong, Li Yeyu, and the stone standing beside the carriage. He realized that they didn't look like gangsters, and with the heavy silver in his hand, he pondered:

"The old man has no wife and children, but there are quite a few vacancies in the house, but I will not hide it from you. The old man is a bamboo forest and thatched hut. I hope you don't dislike it."

Shen Furong smiled and said, "Old man don't have to worry too much, it's good to have a place to stay, how can we be picky?"

Hearing what Shen Furong said, the woodcutter responded immediately and heartily, and decided to take Shen Furong and the others back to their home.

Therefore, Shen Furong and his party did not step into the depths of the thick fog, and followed the woodcutter quickly out of the fog and returned to the original road.

Shitou asked Li Yeyu to come out and drive, and he took the woodcutter's firewood and carried it on his back. As he walked, he asked the woodcutter about some conditions on the nearby roads.

In the carriage, October tilted his head and looked out, then blinked, and asked Shen Furong in a low voice:
"Ma'am, that ancient tomb is so mysterious, could it be the tomb of an emperor?"

Shen Furong shook her head. Who is buried in this ancient tomb? The identity can only be determined through the murals and structures in the tomb, combined with the records of historical materials.

Although this ancient tomb is somewhat imposing in terms of its scale, she does not think that any emperor will build the tomb in this barren mountain and wild ridge.

It's just that for some reason, everything here is like a huge mystery, but there is a strong sense of familiarity that attracts her to want to get close.

……

The woodcutter's home is located on a high ground at the foot of the mountain, where there is a cluster of bamboo forests, and a heavy thatched hut emerges from the bamboo forest, with vegetable gardens on both sides of the hut.

The woodcutter first led Shen Furong, October and Li Yeyu to one of the more spacious thatched huts, and let them rest in it, and then let Shishi follow him to another thatched hut.

After living in the inn all the way, the thatched hut looks very simple and low, but fortunately, the woodcutter is a neat person, and the house is neatly arranged and looks very clean.

October couldn't sit still, so he paced a few steps in the house, laughed twice, and suggested, "Madam, if you have nothing to do, let's go out for a walk?"

Shen Furong felt that she couldn't fall asleep so early, so she might as well just walk around and nodded, "Okay!"

Li Yeyu naturally followed closely behind the two of them.

There is a quiet bamboo forest outside the door. After passing through the bamboo forest, you can hear the sound of running water in the distance.

After a short walk, they saw the pool of spring water, surrounded by silver-white stones, like a natural chess game. The sound of "huahua" was accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, and there was a faint mist of water. , where it is like a dream, like a fairyland.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!"

October exclaimed, couldn't help but ran forward, bent down and touched the spring with his hands a few times, and then shouted happily:

"Madam, come and see, the spring water is actually warm!"

"Isn't this a hot spring?"

Shen Furong was a little strange, and then approached the spring water, and the temperature was really high.

The hot spring is actually a hot spring!
Shen Furong's eyes once again raised a layer of ripples, in such a remote area, there is such a natural hot spring.

She was overwhelmed with emotion, looking at the spring water filled with smoke in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the days of soaking in hot springs in modern times.

Now that it was completely dark, and seeing that the spring water was clean, Shen Furong simply took off her clothes and walked into the hot spring.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it would be a pity to take a good dip.

October also took off his shoes and socks, leisurely holding the spring water, and playing.

Li Yeyu consciously went to stand guard for them to prevent anyone from breaking in.
