After Qin Qing left, Xiao Shan couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, you don’t really believe this woman, do you?”

Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Wu Haoming spoke first. “I actually think her words just now are indeed somewhat credible.”

Xiao Shan choked.

Chi Shuyan was indeed sure that Qin Qing hadn’t dared lie to her just now. If she had, Chi Shuyan would have been able to tell. She hadn’t seen anything out of the ordinary with Qin Qing just now, which proved that the other party was indeed telling the truth.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, then directly had Wu Haoming secretly investigate this matter, but he had to come back early to help take care of Brother Feng.

As for Xiao Shan, Chi Shuyan was prepared to take him out. Speaking of which, she had wanted Qi Zhenbai to take her to where Brother Feng had been buried, but he suddenly left for a few days. She didn’t have the patience or time to wait for him to come back. It was getting close to the birthday or whatever of the True Buddha; it would be best if she could figure out everything before that.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan naturally agreed with Master Chi, though Wu Haoming wanted to be the one to go with Master Chi. After thinking about it, he knew why Master Chi had arranged things this way, and immediately went out to get things done.

Chi Shuyan took Xiao Shan with her and drove to where Brother Feng had almost been buried alive.

In the car, Xiao Shan was quite relaxed at first. He chatted with Master Chi from time to time, and said, “Sister-in-law, let me know if you’re tired from driving later. I’ll drive!”

Xiao Shan was a little embarrassed to let Master Chi drive.

Chi Shuyan hummed in acknowledgement and looked carefully at the road. She also had Xiao Shan look outside. If he sensed anything wrong, he had to let her know.

Xiao Shan nodded. “Okay, Sister-in-law!”

Although Xiao Shan was relaxed, he didn’t dare let down his guard. He stared vigilantly outside. Speaking of which, the village was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. If it wasn’t for the strange happenings in the village, it would have been a good place to visit in the mountains.

What a pity.

Xiao Shan sighed. Not long after, it actually started to rain despite the sunny day. The fog in front of them also increased, and a few drops of raindrops splattered on the window. After that, the raindrops grew heavier and heavier. It wasn’t easy to drive in this weather, so Xiao Shan wanted to switch places with Chi Shuyan

Chi Shuyan looked indifferently at Xiao Shan and told him to settle down.

“Oh!”

It turned out that Master Chi’s driving skills were pretty good. Although it wasn’t easy to drive on the dirt road, her driving was still very steady.

After a while, Xiao Shan felt that the car was a little stuffy. He rolled down the window, and a cold wind blew in. Xiao Shan shuddered and hurriedly asked Master Chi in concern, “Sister-in-law, do you feel cold? It’s not summer yet, but even then, it’s actually so cold.”

Before Chi Shuyan could reply, she caught the faint smell of blood, and her face darkened.

Xiao Shan didn’t notice anything wrong with Master Chi, but he realized that they were almost at their destination. Wasn’t this where something had happened to Director Feng?

Before driving here with Master Chi, he had specially asked Director Feng for the location. Director Feng had also specifically explained a few features of this place so that they wouldn’t miss it.

Xiao Shan glanced around and confirmed the location again. “Sister-in-law, take a look. Is this the place? Where should we…?” Get out.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Shan felt his vision blur. Not far away, it seemed like a shadow flashed past in the fog at an astonishing speed.

Although he couldn’t see what it was at all, Xiao Shan’s face still changed drastically.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Director Feng had also seen something before he was injured, Xiao Shan might really have thought that he was seeing things and he wouldn’t have taken it seriously. Xiao Shan immediately told Master Chi about what he had seen.

Chi Shuyan stopped stepping on the gas, her expression unchanged. “This is pretty much the place. Let’s get out.”

Xiao Shan nodded, opened the car door, and got out. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the large raindrops got smaller and turned into a light drizzle. It didn’t affect him much, but the entire mountain was shrouded in a layer of fog, making it harder to see clearly.

It looked poetic from afar, but in fact, there was danger everywhere. Xiao Shan didn’t dare relax.

Chi Shuyan didn’t move for a long time after getting out of the car. Xiao Shan thought that Master Chi was affected by his words about seeing a shadow flash past.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, did you see anything just now?”

Chi Shuyan shook her head. “No!”

Xiao Shan: …

Chi Shuyan pondered for a while before she took Xiao Shan into the forest. Before they entered, she repeatedly instructed Xiao Shan to follow her closely and to hold onto the talismans which she had given him.

Xiao Shan also knew how serious the matter was. He touched the talismans in his pocket and relaxed after confirming that they were all there.

The two approached the forest, and it wasn’t long before they found many pits, most of which had been dug for trapping animals. There were also a few traps on the side. Xiao Shan didn’t notice them and was almost caught in one. It was only because of a warning from Chi Shuyan that he wasn’t caught.

Xiao Shan was still in a state of shock. It wouldn’t be good to be caught by this thing, not to mention that they were in a small village and couldn’t get to a hospital immediately. It would be terrible to be caught by this thing, so Xiao Shan was especially grateful to Master Chi. “Sister-in-law, thank you!”

“Be careful, watch the road!” Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over the traps and all sorts of pits. She felt that this forest was a little strange, but she couldn’t figure out why.

The two walked through the forest for a long time, but didn’t find anything.

Although Xiao Shan’s stamina was good, it couldn’t compare with Chi Shuyan’s cultivation at all. After walking a long way through a large forest, he finally couldn’t help but feel a little tired and thirsty. It just so happened that there was a small river in front of him.

Xiao Shan couldn’t help but say, “Sister-in-law, wait for me for a while. I’ll drink some water to quench my thirst. By the way, do you want some?”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t tired or thirsty at all, but when she saw the dense sweat on Xiao Shan’s forehead, she remembered that he was an ordinary person, unlike her. She immediately stopped and told him to drink water while she waited for him.

“Okay!” Xiao Shan was terribly thirsty and took three steps toward the river. When he reached the river, Xiao Shan realized that the water was very clear and bottomless. It was very strange. Seeing that the water flowed down from the mountain, Xiao Shan couldn’t help but want to try the spring water. He had heard that mountain spring water was especially sweet and rich in minerals, and was warm in winter and cool in summer.

Before Xiao Shan drank, he couldn’t help but say to Master Chi, “Sister-in-law, this is probably mountain spring water. The water quality is good. Do you want to try a few mouthfuls first?”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t interested in the spring water and waved her hand to indicate that there was no need.

Seeing that Master Chi really wasn’t thirsty, Xiao Shan immediately scooped up a handful and drank it. He was terribly thirsty and wolfed down the water. As soon as he swallowed the water, however, the strong fishy smell almost made him want to vomit. The water wasn’t sweet at all. Instead, it smelled fishy and rotten. Drinking this water was like drinking human blood. No, it tasted worse than human blood. He was disgusted.

“What’s wrong?” Chi Shuyan walked over and asked.
