Chapter 480 Abnormally Following
After the earthquake, the nearby mountains were in ruins.
Most of the originally majestic and magnificent mountain has collapsed, and deep gullies have even appeared in many places, like torn wounds. The exposed rocks and soil appear particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The once lush trees are now leaning to one side or the other, some are uprooted, their branches and leaves withered, and others are buried in the soil.
Some mountain streams were also blocked by collapsed soil and rocks, forming turbid pools of water.
It was already evening, and the sky was covered with thick clouds. The sun was also obscured by clouds most of the time, so it was not too hot. This also made Si He's journey smoother and more comfortable.
When we came to the vicinity of the Lianyun Mountains, we found that the sky here was darker than other places.
There was a light mist above the mountains, but it was not the kind of ethereal white mist, but a gray one that looked like a large dark cloud from a distance.
But those who understand can see that it is not ordinary fog, because the gray fog contains an evil aura.
Looking at the gray mist, Si He raised the corners of her lips slightly, feeling very satisfied.
Judging from the current situation alone, there is indeed a large tomb with a strong evil spirit in this mountain. The earthquake caused the mountain to crack, and the tomb entrance was exposed, causing the evil spirit inside to overflow.
This saved her from having to look elsewhere, and she didn't have to bother collecting evil things. The things here were just right.
At this time, around Lianyun Mountain, some nearby villagers were searching for food at the foot of the mountain.
Because of the earthquake, most of the nearby villagers were killed or injured. In some villages, there was not even a single survivor. The food was even more devastated, so they had no choice but to come out to find something to eat.
Many animals in the mountains were killed in the earthquake. They picked up some in the past two days, so they came again today, hoping to pick up more and make them into dried meat for storage, which would also provide some food.
The villagers were not surprised to see Si He and others coming, because many people had come to the mountains to look for treasures today.
After the earthquake, a huge pit appeared in Lianyun Mountain. However, the pit was filled with evil spirits and was very cold underneath. As long as you got close to it, you would feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Someone had been brave enough to go down and explore it before, but after going down, he screamed and fell into the unfathomable underground crevice, and lost his life.
This scared many people, but some people also said that there was an ancient tomb underneath. Then as the rumor spread, some people began to say that there were treasures in the tomb underneath, so many people took the risk to come here in the past two days.
However, there has been no news of those who entered the pit ever coming out.
Despite this, there is still an endless stream of people coming here, and they don't listen to advice much. At most, they are cautious and wait and see, but are reluctant to leave.
The nearby villagers were too lazy to persuade them. They didn't dare to hope for the treasures under the pit. They just wanted to find something to eat or hunt, but they didn't dare to approach that area.
Si He stopped her horse at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the sky, she knew it would be dark soon, so she did not rush into the mountain.
Now that she has been traveling for most of the day, she can take a rest. When night falls, she can go into the mountains alone without a group of people following her.
After making her plan, she turned the carriage around and headed towards a relatively flat open space not far away, leaving them to wait outside tonight.
At her command, Gao You and others divided the work, some went to collect firewood, and some went to hunt for meat nearby.
Although they were puzzled by her decision to come here, they didn't say much until she said she wanted to go into the mountains alone at night, and they had to dissuade her.
"Madam, the mountains are dangerous. How can you go in alone? How about we go in with you tomorrow?"
The leader of the accompanying guards was very troubled, thinking that she was really too troublesome and very brave.
"No need." Si He said firmly. She sat down on the blanket on the ground, took the kettle, unscrewed the stopper, and drank a sip of water.
The leader of the guards wanted to persuade him again, but at this moment, a burst of horse hoofbeats sounded in the distance. The sound was very hurried, coming from far away and approaching, and there were many people.
Si He turned her head and saw the familiar group of people from afar through the veil. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, and her eyes became darker.
Why did Yue Hejiang and his gang follow us?
Shouldn't they be searching for Mo Mo's whereabouts by the West River?
Moreover, there were many more people accompanying him than before. They were galloping on horseback and rushing here in a hurry. If you didn't know, you would think they were here to seek revenge. The most important thing was that they were heading straight to her with a clear purpose!
The guards around Si He quickly stood in front of her vigilantly, staring at the people in the distance. It was obvious that they had bad intentions.
Si He sat there calmly, staring intently, trying to figure out their intentions in following her.
After a while, Yue Hejiang and others arrived here and stopped in an open space ten meters away from Si He.
Chen Sangsang also came along. She rode on the same horse with Yue Hejiang. At this moment, she was a little out of breath because she was exhausted from riding all day.
Si He then stood up calmly, looked at Yue Hejiang and Chen Sangsang, and said, "Why are you following me instead of staying in Xihe?"
Yue Hejiang said: "From now on, no outsiders are allowed to enter the Lianyun Mountain area!"
Hearing this, Si He sneered, "Are you targeting me on purpose? Wherever I go, you're going to ban me?"
Yue Hejiang said sternly, "So what if I ban you? You're a woman, and you're wandering around outside instead of staying at home. How can you be so disgraceful? Are you trying to bring shame upon my Yue family?"
Si He said, "If you're talking about etiquette, then I'm much more disciplined than you. You're taking an unmarried girl on a trip, disregarding her reputation, riding on the same horse with her, hugging and kissing her. That's a disgrace to the Yue family."
Upon hearing this, Yue Hejiang's face turned pale, and Chen Sangsang's expression was also very ugly.
"Guo Jiaqu, you are so outrageous!"
Yue Hejiang's forehead was bulging with anger. "Is this how you talk to your brother?"
Si He replied: "You were the one who went too far first."
Yue Hejiang took a deep breath and said, "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"
Si He stared at him coldly, and then glanced at the group of guards behind him.
The number of people was more than ten times hers, including the monk Changling and several Taoists whom she feared. In this situation, if a fight really broke out, she would definitely suffer.
She suddenly felt very puzzled. What was Yue Hejiang trying to do?
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible that he just wants to cause trouble for her!
It's so abnormal!
They valued Mo Mo so much before, and were even afraid that she would meet Mo Mo first, so they hurriedly chased her to the upper reaches of Xihe River.
But as soon as she left Xihe, they followed her inexplicably nervously. What was the reason?
