Chapter 157

Zhang Yifan did not expect to hear such words.His immature back trembled first, and then straightened up. He turned his head stiffly, and looked at Xiao Sesu with surprised and puzzled eyes.

Xiao Zhiyuan was also puzzled, "Sister, do you want to be Brother Yifan's sister?"

Xiao Sesu's smile was still bitter, but very gentle, "Sister Jinse took good care of me when she was alive, and I regarded her as a good friend. Her younger brother is also my younger brother, Yifan, who calls me elder sister , okay?"

Zhang Yifan was even more puzzled, he was not familiar with Princess Jin, why did she want to get close to him?Is it really because of sister Jinse?

Zhang Yifan didn't bother to think so much, seeing that Xiao Sesur and Yu Wangyan were both his benefactors, he simply smiled and said, "Happy as you want!"

"Yifan..." Xiao Sesu got what she wanted, and her smile gradually penetrated into her pupils.

The three of them talked for a while, and seeing that it was already pitch black outside the cave, it must have been completely nightfall.

Worried that there might be wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests at night, Zhang Yifan went out of the cave again, found another pile of firewood near the entrance of the cave, carried it in, and added some to the pile of firewood.

When the fire was big enough, Zhang Yifan said: "This fire can burn for two hours, everyone should go to bed first, and whoever wakes up in the middle of the night remember to add a fire. If there is a fire burning, wild animals will not dare to approach."

Xiao Sesu and Xiao Zhiyuan agreed.

Sleeping outside, this kind of experience is very rare for Xiao Sesu and Xiao Zhiyuan, they are still pampered after all, so it is impossible to sleep well until tomorrow morning.

Due to the drowsiness of pregnancy, Xiao Sesue could still sleep deeply for two hours. During this time, she also faintly heard the voices of Xiao Zhiyuan and Zhang Yifan talking, and also heard the sound of adding firewood. I don't know which of them added the firewood.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Zhiyuan was so sleepy that he fell asleep.The whole person was originally leaning against the mountain wall, but when he fell asleep, he lay crookedly on the ground.The ground was hard, Xiao Zhiyuan frowned in his sleep, looking very dissatisfied.

Zhang Yifan, on the other hand, was used to sleeping in the open. Holding his sword, he sat against the mountain wall and slept peacefully.

I don't know how long it has passed, but it seems to be the middle of the night, a gust of cool wind blows on the bleak collarbone, and the coolness crawls along the skirt of the clothes to the limbs.

Xiao Sesu snorted, opened his eyes, moved his numb body uncomfortably, and looked sleepily at the fire in front of him.

The flames were almost out.

She crawled forward half a step, leaned over, reached out and took a few branches, and added them to the firewood.The flames in front of him rose again, and the heat of the flames overwhelmed the gloomy wind in the cave, and also illuminated the dark surroundings a bit.

The intensified flame swayed like a demon.Xiao Sesu retreated, groped for the mountain wall behind him, adjusted his posture in a trance, closed his eyes, and wanted to sleep again.But at this moment, there seemed to be a burst of music in the haze, very clear and faint, and it disappeared after only two or three sounds.

Xiao Sesu couldn't help opening his eyes.

Did she hear the sound of the music?

It seems that there are only two or three sounds, if there are faint ones, is she hallucinating, or is there really some sound just now?
That music, that music...

Chime!
Xiao Sesu suddenly felt that the two or three soft beeps just now were the sound of the chime—if it was not a hallucination.

Liu Mei couldn't help frowning, and because of the doubts in her heart, she became sober.

Chime, this kind of musical instrument is not common, most of it is ritual music used in court or sacrifices, and ordinary people don't play this kind of musical instrument much.What's more, the volume of the chime is huge. If you want to carry it with you, you can only make a small one. This requires high craftsmanship and technology for musical instruments, so such chimes are even rarer.

However, since she arrived at Dayao's Beiguan, she heard the sound of a chime.

And now, she is at the bottom of this cliff, why can she still hear the chime?

Xiao Sesu couldn't figure it out, glanced at Zhang Yifan, then at Xiao Zhiyuan, and suddenly caught sight of something at the entrance of the cave from the corner of his vision.

She hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the cave, and was startled when she saw it.

At the entrance of the cave, there was clearly a person standing, blending with the pitch-black night, only a figure in a toga with long sleeves could be seen.

"Who are you?" Xiao Sesu asked.

And when her voice fell, that figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.The entrance of the cave became calm and dark again, as if the figure had never been there before.

Who the hell is that?

Xiao Sesu supported the mountain wall, stood up, picked up a burning firewood from the fire, and walked carefully towards the entrance of the cave.

The fire illuminated the way she walked until she walked out of the cave, but she didn't find the person.

She bent down and searched the ground with a firelight, but she couldn't find any footprints or signs of people walking.

Everything seemed to be really just her illusion.

Xiao Sesu had no choice but to go back to the cave, turned around three times a step, and looked towards the entrance of the cave several times.The hole is still empty, nothing.

Due to the rustling footsteps, Zhang Yifan and Xiao Zhiyuan woke up one after another.

Xiao Zhiyuan got up from the ground, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Sister, why are you up?"

Xiao Sesu felt very uneasy, thought for a while, and asked, "Zhiyuan, Yifan, did you hear... the sound of an instrument just now?"

"No." Zhang Yifan answered very simply. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and maintained the old monk's sleeping posture.

Xiao Zhiyuan said: "I just fell asleep and didn't hear anything."

"Really..." Xiao Sesu murmured, feeling more and more strange in his heart.

Xiao Zhiyuan said: "Sister, are you hallucinating? I heard that pregnant women tend to think wildly. We are in an uninhabited valley, and no one will come here to play music."

"I hope so." Xiao Sesel smiled dryly, had to add some more firewood, returned to the position where he was sleeping, sat down, and continued to try to fall asleep.

But with doubts in my heart, it was very difficult to fall asleep.

Xiao Sesu still felt that he did not have auditory hallucinations, there was indeed a chime sound just now, and the figure at the entrance of the cave did appear.

But, how could there be such an outrageous thing?

Xiao Sesu couldn't think of it, and didn't have the energy to think about it.In the end, she fell asleep again in uncertainty, and because she was exhausted, she simply thought that she was hallucinating.

The next day, Xiao Sesu woke up with a sore body, and saw that the fire had completely burned out, and Zhang Yifan was standing at the entrance of the cave with his back to her.

It was bright outside the cave, although there was no bright sunlight, but the light still enveloped Zhang Yifan in a warm atmosphere, softening his vigor.

Xiao Sesu stood up, his stomach growling with hunger, and he glanced at Xiao Zhiyuan, who seemed to have been woken up, opened his eyes, and got up with some difficulty.

It's another day, and they have to continue walking again, and they don't know when they will be able to get out of this mountain.

In order to take care of Xiao Sesu's body, Zhang Yifan went hunting by the way, and Xiao Zhiyuan also collected herbs along the way.

Under an old tree with a crooked neck, Zhang Yifan roasted a newly hunted pheasant, and Xiao Zhiyuan also gave Xiao Sesu the ground medicine.

The three had a hearty meal and continued to walk north.

After walking like this for two hours, Xiao Sesu was exhausted, Xiao Zhiyuan hurriedly supported her, saw a tree nearby, and let Xiao Sese sit under the tree.

"Sister, there's still some water here, you should drink some first." Xiao Zhiyuan handed the water bag to Xiao Sesu, but suddenly saw something and froze.

Xiao Sesu hurriedly asked, "Zhiyuan, what's wrong?"

Xiao Zhiyuan said in a daze, "This tree..."

"This tree?" Xiao Sesu raised his head, looked at the tree on which he was leaning against, and murmured: "This tree looks familiar."

"Isn't this the place where we had lunch just now?" Zhang Yifan pointed to a pile of ashes not far away with his sword, "This is the ashes left over from roasting pheasants."

Xiao Sesu was startled, and suddenly felt extremely weird.

After they ate the pheasant, they walked all the way to the north. The direction in the middle was very clear, and it was impossible to walk back here no matter what!
The second monk Xiao Zhiyuan Zhang was puzzled, "Could it be...we chatted among us, and we walked in the opposite direction?"

"Then go on, staying here won't solve the problem." Xiao Sesu could only say so.

The three of them reconfirmed the north and set out to explore the way. Zhang Yifan was still in the front, Xiao Sesu was in the middle, and Xiao Zhiyuan was in the end.

Walking in such a valley is not easy and takes a lot of energy.When the sky darkened, Xiao Sesu was very tired and hungry, so he cheered up and looked forward, and was surprised again.

They actually walked back to the cave where they spent the night last night!

"Oh my god, it can't be so unlucky." Xiao Zhiyuan approached the entrance of the cave, saw that there was still the fire they made last night and the leftover roasted rabbit bones inside, and immediately felt discouraged and wanted to slump down on the ground.

Zhang Yifan's eyes widened, he was silent for a long time, and said, "It's strange!"

Isn't it?Strange, too strange.They have been advancing all the time, why did they come back here in the end?

Seeing that it was getting dark, I could no longer find a way out.The three had no choice but to enter the cave again and spend the night here again.

The next day, they set foot on the road out of the mountain again.

I thought today would be smooth, but strange things happened again—they walked for a day, and when it was dark, they reached the entrance of the cave again.

At this moment, Xiao Zhiyuan was afraid, holding his bleak hand, tremblingly said: "Have we encountered a ghost? There are monsters in this mountain, won't we be allowed to go out? Sister, I don't want to die here."

"Zhiyuan, don't be afraid." Xiao Sesu held Xiao Zhiyuan's hand instead, but her heart was as hairy as his.

What they encountered couldn't be explained by common sense at all. It was more like a nightmare, which kept repeating itself, as if they couldn't wake up.But all three of them knew that they were not dreaming, but actually encountered something incredible.

"I'm tired today, let's go back to the cave to rest first." Xiao Sesu suggested.

"Then I'll go hunt for something to eat." Zhang Yifan turned around and left.
