C119 (1/2)

”Ah?” Just like that? ”

I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then, I glanced at Lingling. I didn't really care about it myself, as the main reason was because I was afraid that Lingling would be injured inside.

Also, I don't know how deep this thorn forest is, it is indeed a bit dangerous to carelessly enter it.

Right now, there did seem to be a path that wasn't really a road, but if one went deeper in, who knew if this passage would break.

Moreover, if they really went in and met with any danger, it would probably be difficult for them to escape.

At this time, Liu Qing said:

”I've been to this thorn forest before. Although there's something strange inside, this tunnel can definitely continue on for a long time.”

”Follow me. You'll know once you get in.”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, I nodded. Liu Qing hid both of his hands inside his sleeves, and then used his wide sleeves to cover his head.

”Lingling, protect yourself. Follow Big Brother Liu Qing closely.”

Although Liu Qing's body was not considered big and sturdy, it was definitely enough to be used as a barrier when compared to Lingling.

Allowing Lingling to follow closely behind Liu Qing was the best way to protect her.

I followed Liu Qing's example and protected myself as I slowly moved forward.

There was not much snow on the thorns, at least not on the thorns on both sides of the passage.

Beneath our feet, the footprints were still very clear. It was clear that Liu Qing had been here not long ago, and the snow on the thorns had fallen due to the branches that vibrated when he passed by.

Just like now, as we walked along, snow would constantly fall from the branches of the thorns. It seemed to be a pretty good scene, but that was on the premise that I wasn't in the thorns.

Although the thorns didn't pierce into my body, the sound of them clashing against my clothes and arms made me feel a wave of fear. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued forward.

As we walked, I noticed that there weren't any tunnels in the thorns from the start. It seemed that they were forcefully opened by someone.

Previously, this place should have been a forest of thorns, but this road … Who would have done it?

He looked at the thorny trees on both sides of the passageway, and the broken branches hanging from the books. They had long since dried up.

”This road looks like someone forced their way out …”

I softly sighed to the Liu Qing in front of me. Liu Qing merely gave a light grunt, and then continued.

”The predecessors went on a journey, the descendants sought results.”

At this moment, I saw that many of the thorny branches had pieces of cloth hanging on them. Perhaps it was because it had been too long, but many of the cloth had already become netted and looked like they were broken.

No matter who had dug this path, in a place like a mountain village, especially in such a deep mountain, there were no mechanical tools. If one wanted to step out of this passage, they would inevitably have to suffer a lot.

At this time, I suddenly remembered a person — — Liu Songxian.

That year, his condition was very similar to Liu Qing's, he was also hiding in the mountains, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I didn't even know that Liu Songxian was actually in the village, and when I saw him again, he had already been killed by the village chief.

At that time, I saw many scars on the Village Head's body, and these scars seemed to have been carved out by some sort of tree branch.

When I saw Liu Songxian, he was already covered with wounds, and it seemed like he felt that his life was over.

Otherwise, the previous Village Chief's physique would not have been able to kill him.

Now that he thought about it, there might have been some injuries on Liu Songxian's body that had been carved out in the thorny forest.

At that time, the clothes worn in the rural area during the summer were about the same, especially the colors. There were only two or three of them, so judging from the fabric, it was obviously unreliable.
