Coming out of the village, Li Feng brought Liu Ruoshi, who had changed into a sporty outfit and looked refreshing and lovely, into the mountain valley under the unusual gaze of the villagers.
"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, Li Dabron panted and chased up from behind.
"I don't know why you want to go into the mountains alone, but for safety's sake, I think it's better to bring this along." Li Dacopper took off the thing on his shoulder and handed it to Li Feng.
Wow, it's actually a double-barreled shotgun! Li Feng grew up in the mountains since he was young, so he's no stranger to these things. At first glance, he recognized that this is a double-barreled shotgun with extremely great power among shotguns. Within ten meters, one shot can blast through, even if it's a bear, it won't die but will at least lose half its life.
"What? Are you saying there are large ferocious beasts in the mountains now?" Li Feng couldn't help but ask in surprise as he saw Li Da Tong solemnly hand him the thing.
It shouldn't be, having grown up in Lijiazhuang since childhood, he is very familiar with the situation in the mountains. The most ferocious beasts inside are just wild boars, but if it's just wild boars, Li Dazhu wouldn't have handed this big fellow over to him.
Li Da Tong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't know if there have been any ferocious beasts in the past two years. In short, this matter is a bit suspicious. You'd better bring it with you to be safer. Since you don't need us to follow you, just be careful and take good care of your wife."
"Huh, what's going on here?" Li Dacopper didn't say anything at first, but as soon as he spoke, Li Feng's curiosity was piqued.
"Hey, I don't know if it's superstition or not, but in recent years, the mountain hasn't been very peaceful. Some people went in and ran back out saying they encountered a bear cub, however...” Li Da Tong paused for a moment, lowering his voice to say: “Some people even said they encountered a monster, and Li Da Sha swore it was a mountain demon. In any case, no matter what the rumors are, it's still best to be careful."
"I'm going, bear blind child I believe, and even talk about monsters, even chat about the mountain demons that only exist in novels? Big bear, didn't expect you to believe this too." Li Feng was speechless, with that mysterious look, he thought it was something else.
"Big Copper Brother, are there really some frightening monsters in the mountains?" Liu Ruoshi, who had been listening all along, couldn't help but interrupt. Her face turned slightly pale, and Li Dacopper's serious expression made her feel afraid.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's just talking about mountain goblins. I've got this now and I'll shoot it down with one shot." Li Feng was originally a skilled hunter in the mountains, and now that he had acquired San Chong's special abilities, with the double-barreled shotgun in hand, he was naturally full of confidence, able to take on any god or Buddha.
"Either that, or you stay home and I'll go in alone. Just leave the investigation to me." Although he wasn't afraid himself, seeing the beautiful CEO's frightened face, Li Feng had a sudden idea.
If this can scare off the beautiful CEO and make her wait in the village, then his so-called lie about going into the mountains to dig up the spiritual grass he had been cultivating for many years would be much more convincing.
"No, you have a gun, I'm not afraid." But Li Feng's plan clearly didn't go as expected. The beautiful CEO was scared but firmly shook her head in refusal.
"Since that's the case, Da Wei and I waited in the village until 5 pm. When you still hadn't come out, we gathered everyone to go in and find you." Li Da Tong could only look on helplessly, his rough voice and ambiguous gaze fixed on the two of them.
"It's late now, I'm leaving."
With a double-barreled shotgun slung over his back, Li Feng said no more and led the beautiful CEO into the valley, walking faster and deeper with each step.
To his surprise, the beautiful CEO was not as delicate as he had imagined. Her physical strength and endurance were quite good, and she could even keep up with him for the first half hour.
"Good job, you're actually keeping up." Li Feng praised.
"Of course, I go for a run every morning, I'm not as weak as you think." Liu Ruoshi was praised and immediately raised her chin proudly, smiling with narrowed eyes.
"It's a good thing I persisted in entering the mountain. I really didn't expect it, but the scenery here is actually so beautiful! Oh, look quickly, there's a stream ahead, and the water is so clear."
"Alright, I've saved Ah Huang for you. You want to have fun and play, next time I'll bring you in again." Li Feng said helplessly.
This sentence was indeed a killer, and immediately, Liu Ruoshi, who had been feeling happy and excited when mentioning Ah Huang, became serious and hurried along the road.
"How much longer until we arrive at the secret place where you cultivate the spiritual grass? And what if someone has picked it by now, since you've been away for so long?" The beautiful CEO couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry, that place is absolutely secluded, and only I and Li Dabron know it. We'll follow the mountain stream straight up, then turn right and walk for another hour or so to get there." Li Feng said with a slight headache.
No wonder people say that behind a lie, there must be N more lies to cover it up. It seems like I'm in such a situation now.
If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't reveal any information about Blood Jade, Li Feng would have gone deeper for a few hours after eating his fill.
"Still another hour?" Now, Liu Ruoshi finally understood why Li Feng was urging to hurry along. Back and forth, it's estimated that they had already spent four hours, and there really wasn't much time left to spend on the mountain road.
After walking for more than ten minutes, finally, the beautiful CEO's physical strength could no longer keep up, and the two of them could only proceed in a stop-and-go manner.
As we went deeper into the mountains, the surroundings were all mountains and forests. The sunlight was gradually blocked, making it somewhat gloomy. When the mountain wind blew, everything felt cold and chilly.
Liu Ruoshi had long since lost his previous proud expression and was walking on the increasingly rugged mountain road, unknowingly close to Li Feng.
Li Feng held onto the beautiful CEO's smooth and snowy white jade hand, smelling the waves of fragrance emanating from her body beside him, which was also a great pleasure.
Carefully calculating, it's estimated that they've already entered the mountain ridge for over 20 miles, with complete silence and no one around. Hmm, if I were to have a wicked thought... This guy couldn't help but think evil thoughts, and as he thought about it, he really did feel a surge of impulse, wanting to push the beautiful CEO against the mountain edge, then heh-heh!
Of course, he just thought about it and indulged in infinite fantasy for a moment. After checking the time, he finally arrived at his destination around 3 pm.
"We've arrived! Look, let's go into that mountain valley and pick some spiritual grass. Then we'll head back home."
"But where? I don't see the cave you're talking about."
"I'm dizzy, if it's so easy for you to find me, what's the point of hiding?" Li Feng pulled her another hundred meters towards the mountain stream, and finally, in a recessed area, he parted the dense hay.
"Huh? How did the stone blocking the cave entrance get moved?" After parting the dense hay, a half-person-high cave was revealed, but Li Feng let out a soft "huh".
Obviously, the stone that was originally blocking the cave entrance had disappeared, which surprised him.
"Didn't you say that Li Dacopper also knew about this place? Maybe he usually comes to mess around here." Liu Ruoshi looked at the dark cave, no matter how she looked at it, she felt extremely gloomy and couldn't help but feel afraid, leaning against Li Feng's body, trembling slightly.
"Hmm, it's possible indeed. This big bear is really careless. Don't be afraid, there's nothing inside. Follow me." Li Feng crouched down and led the way in.
This mountain stream hid a cave, which he and the big bear had discovered very early on. In his childhood, he didn't come here to play less often, and at that time, it was even used as a secret base for the two of them.
Now thinking of the former elegance, now also can't help but laugh.
Suddenly, Li Feng didn't know how, but he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something terrifying was staring at him in the dark.
"Li Feng, let's not go in," said Liu Ruoshi, her voice trembling as she followed closely behind.
