Right now, it is 2 in the afternoon
On the precipitouswith those three people, are walking forwards step by step
Thise of Tranquil Water is to the west of this mountain The steep slope of the mountain makes transportation to the outside world very inconvenient Thus the village is almost isolated from the rest of the world People sustained their lifestyles through agriculture Without running water and even electricity, this place can be considered very destitute
The bespectacled man in the suit is named Qin Shoutian As he is a journalist of a small newspaper, he is constantly on the run between news scenes, so it is not that tiring for hiyan, and the pretty young lady in green dress, Ye Kexin — are both ordinary white collars workers who sit in the office everyday After hiking a couple of miles of mountain trails, their shoes have already been scruffed raw They all feel exceptionally tired But still, no one dares to rest They e of Tranquil Water as early as possible before the sky gets dark

“You can stop whenever you want,” Li Yin looks at the co as you are not afraid of dying I don’t care about leaving you behind”
“Ho can I!” Luo Heng Yan knows Li Yin’s character well No… actually, everyone is like this
The residents who live in that apartment will all become indifferent towards other people’s life or death eventually It has only been half a year since Luo Heng Yan moved into the apartment
Passing anothertowards the foot of the mountain, he says, “Quick, look! We have arrived!”
Unsurprisingly, there is a huge village Although it looks dilapidated, the houses are not as poorly constructed as they ilance, there are several hundreds of houses built on a spacious piece of land, some with two storeys Rows and rows of rice fields stretch in between the houses, and they can see a lot of farmers hard at work

“We are tourists fro on the e”
The girl ihtens up as she says, “It’s so rare to actually see people frouys can follow ’s restaurant Plain noodles ood since it’s made from ater”
Well water… As expected, this village see water?
Moreover, when they were overlooking the village just now, they did not actually spot any telephone poles It seee is indeed relatively outdated

“Miss… Miss Xiu…” Li Yin forcefully represses the terror in his heart and says, “We, we should not bother you anythose buckets”
After that, without even waiting for Xiu’s response, he turns his head around quickly and walks toward his three other colance
The three people understand hi Xiu alone Xiu stands blankly in her original spot, wondering how she has offended them
As they walk in the village, the group’s unfaers stare at them in bewildered suspicion Why are there tourists here despite the fact that the Black Crow Mountain does not have any ancient sites or renowned attractions?
Ye Ke xin asks Li Yin in a low voice, “Mr… Mr Li Yin, just now…did you already see ‘that thing’?”
Li Yin re his head in response
They have long expected that it is impossible for the e of Tranquil Water But they did not ie, and in day ti…
Li Yin looks at the sky above his head It see covered by the clouds
