Make You Happy

  Chapter 175 Horrified Calabash Mountain

   "It's over, it's over, it's over!" Ruan Youning didn't care that they were in the carriage, and she looked anxious and panicked and wanted to escape, which is very rare.

  Ruan Youqing was teased by her, covered her lips and smiled slightly, and said slightly teasingly: "Sister, this is to prove it with your own body, how terrifying is this place?"

   "You...you...don't say anything!" Ruan Youning immediately threw herself on Ruan Youqing, covering her mouth nervously.

  Feeling that Ruan Youning's palms were already sweating, Ruan Youqing finally straightened his expression, took Ruan Youning's hand away and said seriously: "Sister...could it be...are you scaring me?"

As soon as Ruan Youqing finished speaking, Ruan Youning rubbed his hands, bowed his head and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I really wanted to scare you, but... I actually forgot that today is the seventh day! The legend I told you just now, I did hear it from a soldier whose hometown is here. He even showed me the scars on his hands!"

  「The scar left?」

"Yes, he said that he was naughty when he was a child, and he used to run to the mountains to play with his family behind his back. It turned out that the day happened to be the seventh day of the lunar new year. Then...then he said that he saw a group of people moving in unison He floated in front of him. He was young and couldn't stand the fright, so he screamed to attract the other party's attention. Later...he passed out, and when he woke up again, he was already at home. According to His parents said that a woodcutter from the same village passed by early the next morning and took him back after seeing him fainted halfway up the mountain. Then...he discovered that he had wounds on his hands!"

  Ruan Youning said it was serious, but Ruan Youqing felt a little suspicious in his heart.

  If it's really...a ghost...

  Ghosts will leave wounds on people? And... just left a wound, did not kill him?

   "Sister, how is the little soldier?"

  Although Ruan Youning didn't understand why the little girl asked this, she still replied honestly: "The body is pretty good, as strong as a cow, and I eat quite a lot every meal."

  He is in good health, as strong as a bull...that is...his body hasn't become weak because of it.

  The more Ruan Youqing thought about it, the more Ruan Youqing felt that someone was playing tricks here. Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing opened the curtain and looked out.

   Night has come.

   "Sister, you don't have to worry too much. Legends are just legends after all. Many things, as long as you don't experience them yourself, don't easily believe what others say."

  「But that little soldier is very honest!」

  Ruan Youqing grabbed the opponent's hand, and continued patiently: "Youqing is not saying that he lied to you, but that he may have been deceived."

   "Then...why would you play tricks here?" Ruan Youning was still puzzled.

   Sure enough, after Ruan Youning finished speaking, Ruan Youqing also fell into doubt. If someone is really pretending to be a ghost, and this pretending has been going on for so long... Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and what exactly are they trying to do? Or... does this Calabash Mountain also have some kind of secret?

   Or maybe...really...ghosts?

   The more he thought about it, the more dignified Ruan Youqing's expression became.

   It's not that she's afraid of ghosts, but that she doesn't like things that can't be seen or touched.

   Made her... very insecure.

  Seeing that Ruan Youqing was silent, Ruan Youning stopped talking, but turned around and took out two things from the hidden bag, one of which was directly put on Ruan Youqing.

   Ruan Youqing lowered his head in a daze, and saw a bright red kit hanging on his chest.

"this is?"

  「It has been illuminated! To ward off evil spirits! It is always good to guard against some dirty things!」

  Ruan Youning cared so much about this, Ruan Youqing didn't want to ignore her, so he could only obediently arrange the consecrated kit in an orderly manner.

   After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Youqing saw through the gap in the curtain that the carriage had driven into the mountain road.

  When she lifted the curtain and looked out again, she saw the undulating mountains hidden in the darkness.

  According to the time, this place should be the Calabash Mountain that made Miss Ruan frightened.

  Looking at the outline of the mountain, it is indeed... not like a gourd.

  At this time, Ruan Youning was already sandwiched between Ruan Youqing and Fan'er, holding Fan'er's arm with one hand and Ruan Youqing's arm with the other.

   Seeing the cowardly look of the fearless sister, Ruan Youqing couldn't help asking: "Sister, it stands to reason that people who have been on the battlefield shouldn't... be afraid of ghosts..."

  Ruan Youning took a deep breath, and explained in a low voice: "It's different! You don't even know that when I was in Changzhou, my elder brother would come and tell me a bedtime story every night!"

   "Eh? That's good... Youqing is not so lucky~" Ruan Youqing replied deliberately pretending to be jealous in order to make her relax.

  In the end, Ruan Youning looked at her with weird eyes, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Every bedtime story...is all kinds...folk horror stories. This blessing...is for you, do you want it or not!"

"Well..." Ruan Youqing's expression froze, and then she wanted to laugh, but seeing Ruan Youning's bitter and bitter face, she could only hold back her smile and comforted: "Sister, don't be afraid. You have to know, even if this There are really ghosts in the world, so what they want to kill will only be those bad people who have lost their conscience. We, the Ruan family, are well-behaved, and we are not afraid of these things."

  Ruan Youning had just been coaxed by Ruan Youqing to calm down slightly, when everyone heard some terrifying voices outside the carriage.

   "No way..." Ruan Youning's face turned pale again.

  Ruan Youqing boldly looked outside, but found nothing unusual.

   "It's just windy."

  As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the horse neighing suddenly, and the carriage suddenly accelerated.

   "What's going on?" Ruan Youqing immediately opened the curtain in front of the carriage and looked out.

  It turned out that the coachman who had been driving the carriage had suddenly disappeared!

   "Is this... the beginning?" Seeing this, Ruan Youning quickly covered her face and wanted to howl.

  She is really a crow mouth!

   Originally, they just wanted to scare Ruan Youqing, but in the end... they didn't expect this legendary thing to happen to them!

  Ruan Youqing didn't know when to go out at this time, and she sat in the driver's seat with a solemn face, trying to pull the rein and calm the frightened horse.

   It's just that it's no use appeasing him for a long time.

  Seeing that the carriage was bumping more and more violently, Ruan Youqing immediately said in a deep voice, "Quickly, jump off the carriage."

   Fortunately, although Ruan Youning fell into deep fear, after hearing Ruan Youqing's almost commanding words, she immediately jumped down reflexively.

  The movements of the three were relatively consistent, so when they fell to the ground, they were not too far apart.

  However, after the three of them stood up from the ground, they saw the woods on both sides of the road...Suddenly, a lot of figures appeared silently...

   And these figures... walking towards them.
