C23 A Place You Can't Go

Zang Mei did not think much about it and took a deep breath. She found that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here was quite dense. One look and one could tell that it was a place with hundreds of years of shrubbery and had not been destroyed by anyone.

Perhaps she could sneak over here at night to cultivate.

Zang Nan glanced at his sister and Hsu Yifu who were silent and endured it. Finally, he could not help but ask, "Brother Hu, where is the egg you were talking about?"

Ah Hu, who had been called out, jumped out from the back of his head. His small face was red from the cold, like the red of the plateau, with a tiger's head and a tiger's head.

Ah Hu originally did not know where the egg was, and this matter was not what he wanted to call Zang Nan. He did not know how to tell Zang Nan, and in the end, he could not hide his emotions and looked at Hsu Yifu to ask for help.

Receiving the gaze, Hsu Yifu coughed like a young adult, quickly looking at Zang Mei, and finally said, "The little bird is so cute, let's not go catch them."

"Ah? Then what should we play?" Zang Nan widened his eyes. The other children also looked at Hsu Yifu in confusion, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Let's skate." Hsu Yifu took out the excuse he had thought of earlier. "Look, the water in this fish pond has frozen. I have asked my dad before. He said that the thickness of the ice layer is enough to carry people. We can skate."

Once this idea came out, it received the support of all the devilish children. Zang Mei used the spiritual energy to check the thickness of the ice layer. After confirming that there was no problem, she did not object.

Hsu Yifu was a big brother who was very good at taking care of people. He jumped down first, and then carried the other children one by one. Finally, he arrived at Zang Mei.

Hsu Yifu's eyes sparkled as he opened his hands and looked at Zang Mei. "Come, I'll carry you."

Zang Mei:... "

Why did it feel like the tone of this brat's words was strange?

Zang Mei originally wanted to say no but just as she opened her mouth, a gust of wind blew past her and messed up her hair. Then, she heard a clear voice, "This young master is here!"

Clearly, Hsu Yifu did not expect that a person would suddenly jump out. Seeing a shadow of a black hill coming towards him, Hsu Yifu subconsciously retracted his arm and turned sideways.

Pffft.

"Hsu Yifu, you bastard, how dare you not catch me!"

Lying on the ice surface, the shadow of the Black Hilt Hill shivered and quickly got up. He patted the spot where the water had touched and started to stare at Hsu Yifu with his vertical eye.

This person was none other than Dou Yingyue, who had grown up in the courtyard with Hsu Yifu. She was two years older than Zang Mei and had a manly character like that of a female. She often brought the children in the courtyard to play.

Dou Yingyue's skin was not very fair, but rather the wheat color that leaned towards boys. Her facial features were also exquisite and upright. When combined together, it gave off a masculine feeling like that of boys. Usually, she would address Hsu Yifu as her brother. The disobedient children basically did not call her sister. She directly called him brother.

Hsu Yifu was unhappy that the person he wanted to hug didn't succeed. He glanced at her coldly and said, "Dou Er, your skin has been a little loose recently. Do you want me to help you?"

Dou Yingyue's small body stiffened when she heard him. She tightened her body and scolded him for being heartless. She directly jumped into the group of children to skate.

Hsu Yifu finally had the time to carry someone. In the blink of an eye, he saw Zang Mei walking towards the forest and not far away.

Hsu Yifu was stunned and quickly climbed onto the shore to chase after her.

Zang Mei heard the sound behind her and stopped. She looked at Hsu Yifu who was chasing after her in confusion and asked, "Why did you follow?"

Hsu Yifu looked at the forest and said, "You can't go in there."

Zang Mei did not understand, "Why?"

"Don't ask why. Anyway, don't go in there. This is my father's warning. Although I don't know why, his words have always had a reason. No one in the military has ever dared to step foot in that area."

"Could it be that there are poisonous insects and fierce beasts inside?" Zang Mei could not help but smile.

She had also seen his father, and his bearing was also extraordinary. Originally, according to his military merits, even if it was a little less, he would still be able to advance another level. However, he stayed here to be a battalion commander.

Hsu Yifu's father was also a person who had stayed in this military region for so long, so he must have memorized every single plant and tree here. Zang Mei did not doubt that he had a reason to give such an explanation.

However, Zang Mei looked at the forest and did not see any evil Qi. There were even traces of white fog covering the trees. That was the spiritual Qi that only Immortal Cultivators could see.

This kind of place was where mortals lived for a few years. As long as the spiritual Qi inside wasn't destroyed, it would definitely prolong their life and strengthen their physique. They wouldn't be affected by the virus at all.

Why was such a good place not allowed to enter?

It seemed like she really had to come here to take a look at the situation when she had the chance.
