Chapter 1009 Dense Fog in the Mountains
The family hugged each other and cried for a while before their emotions calmed down a bit.
Apart from Old Hai's wife, who was still holding Sun Xiaobao, the rest of the people began to take care of Mule, the hero who had just saved them from their escape.
Sun Laohai and his son unloaded the mule cart, removed the rain shelter from the mule, and propped it up on the ground with sticks.
In this way, a simple rain shelter was made.
Under her mother-in-law's arrangement, Dahai's wife fed it a large piece of bean cake and a handful of hay.
The mule, unaware of what was happening, buried its head in its food and began to eat heartily.
Seeing this, the group's mood improved considerably, and they began setting up the tents again.
After what they had just experienced, they simply didn't have the energy to continue.
They plan to stay here tonight.
While the family was busy, Sun Erhe returned.
He was still reeling from the near loss of his loved ones and wanted to come back and talk to them.
But when I returned, I found that the family had calmed down.
He wanted to cry, but looking at his family, he couldn't bring himself to.
The emotion was bottled up inside him, neither rising nor falling, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He first went to his father and older brother, who were setting up the tent, wanting to say something.
As a result, both of them were too busy to pay attention to him.
He went to his mother's side again, while his little nephew was nestled in her arms, acting spoiled.
He was, after all, an elder, and he was too embarrassed to cry in front of his nephew.
After circling around, he went to his sister-in-law's side.
When Dahai's wife saw her brother-in-law coming over, she saw his aggrieved and frightened face, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder.
Sun Erhe felt a rare sense of comfort. He sniffed and turned to help set up the tent.
When the tent was set up and they were about to cook, the family realized that some things were missing from the car.
Thinking of the things that had been thrown off the car when he turned the corner earlier, Sun Laohai couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, they had placed the bundle containing the money under the grain sacks.
Even though I was running fast, I didn't get lost.
As for the missing items, we can buy them when we have the chance.
The family set up a stove in the middle of nowhere.
Before the wisps of smoke could even rise, they were scattered by the rain.
......
A few days later.
Looking at the mountains ahead, Lu Qingqing and her group couldn't help but show their joy.
After walking for several days, we've finally reached the foot of the mountain.
After passing through the continuous mountain ranges ahead, there is a vast plain ahead.
Lu Qingqing flicked the reins, and the carriage moved forward along the mountain road.
Behind them, Old Man Zhuang and his group followed in their car.
However, the group hadn't driven far when fog appeared ahead.
At first, it was just a few wisps of thin, gauze-like mist.
The people in the hurry didn't pay attention, as they had seen a thin mist several times when they passed the mountain ahead.
Although it obstructs the view somewhat, you can still walk if you slow down and be careful when you're in a hurry.
However, the group walked in for about fifteen minutes.
The mist grew thicker and thicker, surging in from all directions.
The original mountain path was now covered by this veil of mist.
Even the tall trees several meters high along the roadside ahead had vanished.
Xiao Bai snorted nervously and slowed down.
Lu Qingqing suddenly shuddered, feeling a wave of icy water vapor rushing towards her face.
She squinted instinctively, her eyelashes instantly getting wet.
With each breath, the air, rich in moisture and carrying the scent of trees and earth, enters the lungs.
The moisture completely covered people, vehicles, and all living things on the ground.
In an instant, Lu Qingqing felt fine water droplets condense on her eyebrows, eyelashes, and hands.
The light-colored handkerchief tucked at her waist was also soaked.
The people behind them, seeing the thick fog, also felt a sense of tension.
Unlike Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, they have a scientific understanding of the formation of dense fog.
Most people in the group believed that the sudden appearance of the thick fog was an ominous sign and worried that something bad would happen.
Immediately, murmurs arose from behind.
Unlike the clear voices of the past, the heavy moisture in the thick fog made the voices muffled and distorted.
This distorted sound, coupled with the terrifying things many people imagine, makes people even more frightened.
Some of the more timid people in the group were already nervously moving closer to the people next to them.
"Old Chen, this fog is so strange. Could it be some kind of mountain demon's procession?"
Chen Lao Jiu also remembered the legend of the mountain demon he had heard before, and his heart skipped a beat.
Legend has it that the mountain demon can mimic human voices and call people by name; if someone answers, they will be possessed.
Thinking of this, Chen Laojiu felt a chill run down his spine.
He jumped back several steps, keeping a safe distance from the person who had just approached him, and didn't dare to say another word to him.
The man was startled by Chen Laojiu's actions.
One change can have far-reaching consequences.
For a time, all sorts of legends about demons, monsters in the mountains, and even ghostly soldiers borrowing passage were brought up.
The thick fog was already eerie, and coupled with these rumors, even Lu Qingqing was a little scared.
Just then, a sharp scream suddenly came from ahead.
The voice carried through the thick fog, distorted, and the group was so startled that the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
They already believed in ghosts and spirits, and when they heard the echoes repeatedly, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran back.
"Oh my god, it's a ghost!"
"It must be a ghost coming to claim our lives! Run!"
"..."
In an instant, screams of terror echoed along the mountain path, mingling with the sharp echo from before, making it sound even more eerie.
At the very back of the column, Qian Chengzhi saw that the soldiers in the middle of the column had all run away, so he shouted to the front:
"Miss Lu, let's get out of the mountain first. This thick fog is too dangerous!"
Looking at the thick fog that was so dense that you could barely see your hand in front of your face, Lu Qingqing felt a little uneasy.
"Alright, let's get out of the mountain first!"
Upon hearing her reply, Qian Chengzhi directed his men to turn around and walk back.
However, compared to when they came, the people who went back were almost fleeing in panic.
Lu Qingqing was worried that everyone was running too fast and might be in danger, so she shouted from behind.
"Slow down and watch your step."
But by then, many people were already terrified and wouldn't listen to anything she said.
They hadn't run out for long when the person in front started running too fast.
With their vision obscured by the thick fog, they had no idea that there was a curved stone wall in front of them and crashed straight into it.
Immediately, most of his body and forehead hit the rock.
He screamed and fell to the ground, wailing in agony.
Those fleeing for their lives not far behind could only hear screams ahead, but couldn't see what was happening at all.
He immediately stopped abruptly and asked somewhat nervously.
"What's wrong? What's up ahead?"
