Chapter 123

Meng Ziqi was so frightened that she fainted. Cheng Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to support her and let her lean against him.

After Zhong Li stepped forward and frightened her, she slowly woke up.

"They are all human beings who have been dead for a long time. What is there to be afraid of?" She glanced at the cave and said: "The people here have been reincarnated long ago after death, and the bones left behind are the same as those of cicadas that shed their shells. What’s there to be afraid of?”

"Are you serious? There really isn't that?" He Jun shrank and looked around, fearing that a ghost would suddenly come out and catch her as a snack.

"It's true for her. As for you, there is one lying behind you right now."

"Ah!...You're going too far. Isn't it just that the house has some misunderstanding with you? Are you trying to scare me like this?" She screamed in fright, and backed away. The foot touched Deng Weiyi's foot, causing him to grin in pain.

He Jun was so angry that he walked over to Chen Jingrong and Huang Zixuan. Deng Weiyi sat next to Zhong Li and said with a smile, "Why is this child so angry? You scare her and she won't dare to sleep later. Don't we all have to accompany her?"

Zhong Li rolled his eyes at him: "Who told you that I was joking?"

The smile on his lips froze, "No way? Did you really provoke me in this cave?"

Zhong Li shook her head, "I don't know. When you first came in, I saw something lying on her body."

"Is there anything else you can't count?" He gave her a strange look and was very confident in her ability.

Zhong Li glanced at him and said: "You have heard of fortune tellers, don't you tell your own fortune? I also participated in this event, there is some cause and effect, but if I interfere, you will only be more unlucky."

"Then you really don't care about her? We are all together. Don't let us have a hard time explaining anything if something happens!"

"Let's see what that thing is going to do first! I don't feel it has any malicious intent at the moment."

Cheng Nuo lit a fire, and the group warmed up around the fire for a while, finally getting warmer.

Time quietly arrived at twelve o'clock in the evening. A few people were tired after climbing the mountain all day, so they wrapped themselves in sleeping bags and fell asleep around the fire.

Cheng Nuo wanted to stay and watch the night by himself, but when he turned around, he saw Zhong Li cross-legged beside him.

"Zhong Li, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

"I'm used to it. Meditation is also a way of resting. If you're sleepy, you can go to bed first. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Haha, forget it. I can't sleep even if I want to. I just went out and took a look. The moisture in the air is still increasing. There is no wind. I'm afraid it won't rain for a while."

She said with some worry: "If it continues to rain tomorrow, you must not go down this mountain. I just checked and no one has brought much food. If it continues to rain tomorrow, everyone may still be hungry."

"It doesn't matter, just try your best. It's also good to eat some wild vegetables."

Cheng Nuo was stunned: "Huh? Is it really going to be so miserable?"

Zhong Li chuckled lightly and turned around to see He Jun sitting up with dull eyes.

"What..." Cheng Nuo was about to call her, but Zhong Li pulled her back and silenced her.

"Shh, she's sleepwalking. Don't shout, or she'll be frightened."

"Look, she got up. Where is she going?" Cheng Nuo looked at her with wide eyes.

After He Jun stood up, he smiled strangely at her and walked out stiffly.

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, follow and take a look."

The two shook Deng Weiyi awake and asked him to watch everyone here, while they chased in the direction where He Jun left.

He Jun seemed to be very happy, and he was groping around on the top of the mountain.

As if she could see at night, she automatically avoided all obstacles and walked slowly towards a pond on the mountainside.

On the way to the pond, there was a strip of thorns. Just when Cheng Nuo thought she was going to go around it, he saw her raising her feet and stepping on the thorns, walking forward step by step as if she felt no pain.

"No, Zhong Li, she took a shortcut and we couldn't keep up. There is a deep pond in front of her and she will drown."

Zhong Li took the first step to bypass the thorn belt from the other side. Just when He Jun was about to lift her feet into the water, a ray of purple light pushed her back.

"If you don't learn well at a young age and make others your scapegoat, your thoughts are too vicious!"

"Wow....wow...."

An angry baby crying sound came from He Jun's mouth, which made Chen Jingrong, who came from behind, feel numb with fear.

Deng Weiyi was afraid that Zhong and Li would need help, and he couldn't leave, so he could only push up Chen Jingrong, who was sleeping against him.

When he rushed over, he saw Zhong Li pulling back He Jun who had stepped into the pond with a wave of his hand.

She huddled in one place and cried loudly, her voice sounding like a baby's. When she saw them approaching, she would show aggrieved or angry expressions.

"Zhong Li, she...is she crazy?"

Chen Jingrong pointed at He Jun rolling on the ground and asked in surprise.

"I'm not crazy, I was just touched by a little thing."

Zhong Li said, taking out a small gourd from his pocket and pointing it at He Jun. As soon as Chen Jingrong swept his flashlight over, he saw a black shadow being pulled out of He Jun's body and sucked into the small gourd in her hand.

"Huh? What is this?"

"Let's carry He Jun back first." It was still raining lightly outside, so it wouldn't do to just let her lie by the water wet.

"Come on, I'll carry it, and you can light the way for me."

Chen Jingrong carried He Jun back, and Zhong Li opened her tent. Cheng Nuo got in and changed He Jun into dry clothes, which made her feel better.

A few people moved a bit too much, and Meng Ziqi and others also woke up and got busy.

Cheng Nuo brought a set of outdoor cooking utensils and made a simple stilt stove supported by tree branches.

"Zi Qi helps me keep an eye on it while I boil some water for He Jun to prepare some cold medicine."

"Okay, I'll watch. Come over and warm yourself by the fire. Your clothes are stained with water, so you don't catch a cold."

A few people worked hard until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night before they had time to sit together and warm themselves by the fire.

Chen Jingrong was like a curious baby, staring at Zhong Li's pocket with bright eyes, but was slapped on the back of the head by Deng Weiyi.

"You brat, wipe your saliva, where are you looking?"

"No, brother, I'm really not a pervert. I just saw her pointing a small gourd at He Jun, grabbing a black shadow from He Jun, and then the black shadow was put into the gourd."

As he said that, he looked at Zhong Li with a hot look on his face and said, "Sister Zhong Li, can you tell us about that gourd? I'm really curious about how you did it."

Zhong Li rolled his eyes at him and threw the gourd to him, "This thing is a small magic weapon. It can collect little ghosts and spirits."

"Which of you has gone out with He Jun before?"

Meng Ziqi hurriedly raised her hands and said, "I, I went to the toilet with her before, and when we came back, she went around to a pond to wash her hands."

Zhong Li nodded, "That's right. Do you still remember that the landlady said that Andong Village used to be very poor?"
