Chapter 16 The Forbidden Land of Death in the Mountains

Cheng Xia glanced suspiciously at the roses that had not yet bloomed, not understanding what Lin Xiu meant.

"Sister-in-law, several people have died here. When the hunters on the mountain went hunting in the past, they passed by here, and several people died inexplicably. Afterwards, no one dared to enter here. The old place was used to prevent unsuspecting people from entering When I went in, I planted a lot of roses in this area. Because the roses have thorns, most people would not touch them. Over time, this place will be completely abandoned. Sister, don’t be curious to go in and have a look, something will happen. .”

Cheng Xia was skeptical of Lin Xiu's convincing words. The mountain could be listed as a forbidden place for death, except for the place where wild animals often haunt, Cheng Xia couldn't think of other possibilities.

But listening to Lin Xiu's speech is very logical, not like an ordinary woman.And seeing how persistent she is, it's not easy to be fooled, if she wants to go into the rose bushes to find out, it's impossible, so Cheng Xia simply found a slightly refreshing place to sit, and pulled out a grass between her fingers Playing around, he asked, "Lin Xiu, tell me about your family's situation."

Huh?Lin Xiu was taken aback, the topic of sister-in-law changed so quickly, but as long as sister-in-law was not curious about the land, it would be fine, "Sister-in-law, I am me."

Cheng Xia watched Lin Xiu's hands keep digging wild vegetables, and continued to ask, "Who are there in your family?"

Lin Xiu paused, but continued to move his hands for a while, "My family is from Songwa Village, a neighboring village. My father is also a scholar, but my father can't make a living, and the family became poorer and poorer. Later, when the family couldn't get rid of the pot, my mother-in-law would give me money. Father and mother had two bags of rice, and I entered the Yang family's door."

Cheng Xia sighed in her heart, it would be a pity for such a good girl to marry Yang Erlang.

"Lin Xiu, don't I look at my mother and sister-in-law very well, why did they suddenly quarrel today?"

"Hey," Lin Xiu said helplessly, "mother thinks that the son is the pillar of the family no matter what, and the daughter is a loser, so she doesn't object to Erlang's troubles. My sister can't see it. She feels that she has been wronged. I don't care if I'm dissatisfied with my mother, so the two of them have been arguing for more than half a year. It's okay not to mention Erlang, but when Erlang is mentioned, my sister will get angry."

Cheng Xia nodded, expressing that she could understand Yang Lihua's mood. Since ancient times, those who favor men over women are often women, and those who look down on women are even women.

"What about you, don't you persuade Erlang to gamble?"

Lin Xiu's eyes suddenly filled with tears, "Erlang won't listen to me, he won't even listen to what my parents say, so what am I?"

Hey, Cheng Xia has nothing else to do but sigh. It is extremely difficult for a person who gambles to quit, and it is even more difficult for a person who is accustomed to obedience and compromise to change his temper.

Cheng Xia forgot that this is not the open-minded 21st century, but the Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago, women had no status at all.

Cheng Xia raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xiu quietly, seeing that she was a little distracted by herself, so she quickly said, "Lin Xiu, I see a lot of coltsfoot over there, go dig some there." She couldn't wait Wanting to visit this restricted area surrounded by roses, he could only quietly dismiss Lin Xiu.

Seeing that Lin Xiu walked away without the slightest doubt, Cheng Xia looked around and jumped into the roses nimbly while no one was paying attention.

Although the sun is high now, the fog here is very heavy, adding a mysterious and gloomy feeling out of thin air.

It can be seen that it is a place that has been abandoned for a long time, with overgrown weeds and taller than a person. Although Cheng Xia has doubts about Lin Xiu's words, she dare not be careless. After all, she only has one life, and she has already been regenerated, so she can't be so easy Lose your life again.

She still hopes that one day she accidentally touches some mechanism, and then travels back to modern times.

After walking cautiously for a while, he didn't see any poisonous snakes or beasts. Cheng Xia couldn't imagine how those people died here.

Suddenly, when she turned around, she saw a row of tall trees, and Cheng Xia quickly jumped a little longer, and she instantly understood how those people died.
