Chapter 69 Have Fun In The Countryside (2/2)

”After six o'clock,”

It was just past six o'clock. ”Have Jasper gotten up?” she asked.

”Yes. Bruce led Jasper and Nelson outside for a walk in the mountain. Ashley, would you like to go out and have a look? It's raining now and the air in the mountain is fresh. You might meet them on the road.”

”No, I'm afraid of losing my way. Let me help you with cooking.”

”No, thanks. How can I let guest to help me.”

After freshening up, she was still driven out by the middle-aged man enthusiastically, saying that the scenery outside must be good. In fact, she was not afraid of getting lost. She was just afraid of being pointed at by strangers. Since there was no one with her, she was always reluctant to see strangers.

It was already midnight when they arrived. The surroundings were so dark th

arrow winding trail. Above her was a lush tree, like a primitive jungle. ”The road here is so messy. Can you remember?”

”Yes, you are right. I come here many times a year.”

”You have a good relationship with your grandfather.”

They sat on a big stone, drank some water and began to have a rest. ”My grandparents brought me up when I was a child, so I have a deep relationship with them, but I am not close to my parents.”

After a short break, they continued to walk up. They arrive at the top of the peak at about twelve o'clock. There was a stone tablet standing at the top of the peak, on which there were sign of the altitude of the mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, it was magnificent to see the boundless thick clouds.

The wind was strong at the top of the mountain. They found a quiet place and had a quick lunch before going down the mountain.

In the middle of the forest, the wind grew stronger. As Jasper looked at the sky above the tree, a grim expression appeared on his face. He took off his watch and turned off his cellphone. ”Let's hurry up. It's going to rain,” said Jasper.

”Is it very dangerous?”

”Yes, it is. Let's hurry up.” Without caring whether he was a gentle person or not, Jasper held Ashley's hand and ran down the hill with him. But it was difficult for them to go down the mountain. Even if they ran faster, the speed was still restricted because the mountainside and the barrier, as well as the rain yesterday, and the thicker and thicker dark clouds covered the light.

After running for a while, a flash of lightning flashed in the sky and the rumbling of the thunder was heard, Ashley's face was frightened and her face turned pale.

A drop of rain fell down, followed by more rain. The thick trees could not hold back the rain, and the two were soon soaked through.

Ashley wiped the rain from her face. ”Is there any cave nearby?”

”No. I've taken you the other way. I remember there is an abandoned house on the way. We hid there.”

Lost in thought, they walked over a steep slope, holding each other's hand. Ashley slipped and fell, and Jasper was dragged by her and fell onto the ground!
