By the pond at the entrance of the village, three girls were immersed in scrubbing the sheets and pillowcases. In the wooden basin behind them were pairs of clean winter cotton shoes that were still draining.

The season has arrived at the end of April, and the weather is really getting hot. These things are no longer needed. If they are placed under the bed, they will inevitably grow mold or be damaged by mice.

Wash it and dry it, then put it in a twine bag and stuff it on the top of the cabinet to make the house clean and tidy. This is something that older girls and younger wives who know how to live a good life must do. At the moment, the third girl is busy with this.

"Tangyazi, you go home first. I'll say a few words to the third girl and then go back."

After explaining to Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing came to the side of the third girl and knelt down to wash her hands.

The third girl looked up and saw Yang Ruoqing, with a hint of joy in her clear and beautiful eyes.

"sister."

"Hey, so much washing?"

"There aren't many. The shoes for several members of the family for the winter. The eldest sister and Kang Xiaozi's shoes are all in town."

The third girl smiled softly, picked up the brush made of boar bristle, and carefully brushed the pillowcase in her hand.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing washing her hands, the third girl quickly handed over her soap: "Sister, please put some soap on it."

"Okay." Yang Ruoqing took the soap and spread it evenly in her hand.

When she put the soap back, she said to the third girl unintentionally: "The mushrooms you sent yesterday, I added some shrimps to make porridge this morning. The whole family praised them after they drank it, and sent a bowl to the grassland.

While delivering Xueyun, he drank all the porridge, even though he seldom ate it, and kept praising how delicious it was!"

The speaker is intentional, and the listener is also intentional.

The third girl took a brush and slowly brushed the pillowcase in her hand, the corners of her lips raised quietly.

"I went to dig the mushrooms with Xiuxiu and the others yesterday in the mountains. They are very fresh. You can eat them if you like," she said softly.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, shook off the water drops in her hand and stood up: "Then I'll go back first, and come over to visit when I have time."

"Yes, I will."

The water in the pond is very clear, and flocks of wild ducks are swimming in the waves.

The girl's handsome face was reflected in the water, the corners of her lips were raised in pleasure, and her bathing movements showed excitement and joy.

On the way back carrying the basin, I met several girls of about the same age in the village.

"Are you going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains today?" The three girls hurried over and asked.

"Didn't I dig wild vegetables for two or three days yesterday? I won't go today. I'm too tired." said the girl opposite.

"There are not too many wild vegetables, why don't we go there again today?" the third girl asked again.

The girls opposite all shook their heads, "I won't go, I won't go. My knees are still sore at the moment. Xiangxiang, aren't your knees sore?"

Of course the third girl's knees are sore, but no matter how sore they are, they are still full of strength.

In the end, she still failed to convince the girls. When she returned home, the three girls hung up their clothes to dry, warmed up the leftover dough they had eaten in the morning, brought the sickle beside them, and carried bamboo baskets and pull grass stones on their backs.

Stick locked the door and went out.

At night, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went to the Taoist temple, and Taoist Yuan's spiritual interrogation ceremony had to be performed at night.

The couple accompanied Taoist Yuan around the mountains for several hours, climbing over several peaks and passing through several valleys.

The mountains at night are a world of wild beasts.

A huge python as thick as a bucket lay across the middle of the road, its spotted scales glowing coldly in the moonlight.

Groups of wild wolves, pairs of green eyes flashing behind the bushes, filled the air with the smell of bloodthirsty.

There are also eye-catching tigers that come out to look for food, leopards squatting on the treetops waiting for rabbits, and even black bears that blend into the night...

Any one of these ferocious beasts is the overlord of the mountains and the top of the food chain.

Even for practitioners like Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, who are considered strong among humans, it is still difficult to meet these overlords in the mountains alone.

But tonight, these overlords had just appeared in front of them, and before they had time to show their majesty, two white figures suddenly appeared behind the three humans.

The momentum of the Wolf King and his son is invincible, and the purple pupils show the majesty of the ancient bloodline. The pressure of the bloodline is like a majestic mountain peak pressing on the heads of these mountain overlords, making them instinctively fear, retreat, and flee from these humans in panic.

"Zhuiyun and his son have more cards in the mountains than we do!"

Not daring to influence Taoist Yuan who was holding the compass in front of him, Yang Ruoqing spoke to Luo Fengtang in a low voice.

Luo Fengtang smiled faintly and looked at Zhui Feng who was opening the way ahead, "That's true."

The morning light appeared in the east, and the sky gradually became brighter. A fiery red sun struggled from the east horizon and jumped into the sky.

Daochang Yuan finally stopped and looked directly at the white mist-shrouded cliff at his feet: "This is it!"

"One hundred and eighty-two lives in Jiangjiapo, plus Jiang Xiucai who was caught and thrown off a cliff when he came out to look for medicine, are all here."

…

A rope, a mountaineering pick, a bow and arrow, and a dagger.

Luo Fengtang insisted that Yang Ruoqing stay on top and went down the cliff alone.

Taoist priest Yuan sat cross-legged on a big stone, closed his eyes, and muttered something.

Yang Ruoqing stood by the rope that tied the big tree, her gaze firmly fixed below.

Zhui Yun Zhui Feng couldn't get down, so he waited with her up there.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sun gradually rose into the sky, but Luo Fengtang still didn't come up, and Yang Ruoqing became increasingly anxious.

Just when she was about to go down to pick him up in person, the rope suddenly shook. She quickly grabbed the rope and stared at the bottom of the cliff.

The visibility is very low, and there is white mist underneath. All kinds of strange plants grow on both sides of the cliff, and wild flowers that cannot be seen on the ground are in bloom.

At first glance, this place looks like a fairyland on earth, but underneath the fairyland is filled with resentment. This is purgatory on earth!

Luo Fengtang finally broke through the layers of white fog and climbed up the rope.

"You're not injured anywhere, are you?"

After pulling him up, the first thing Yang Ruoqing did was look at his whole body.

Being cared for like this made Luo Fengtang feel warm in his heart. However, the things at the bottom of the cliff were too heavy for him to respond to her concern with a smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry," he said.

"That's good." Yang Ruoqing felt relieved, and then asked: "What's the situation at the bottom of the cliff?"

Luo Fengtang glanced at Taoist Yuan. At this time, Taoist Yuan had also opened his eyes and looked at him. The Taoist priest's eyes were filled with determination.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "There is no water underneath, it is just a piece of grass. Although decades have passed, the bones are still there."

Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, "They must have been waiting for this day for a long time..."

Taoist Yuan had already stood up from the boulder. He shook the fly whisk in his arms and said, "It is their own wish that we can find their skeletons. In this case, let's do what we have discussed in advance.
