Tang Li was not the only one who opened her eyes.
Qi Yihan and Mrs. Guo also opened their eyes.
Mrs. Guo quickly sat up and said to the two of them, “Look after Yuan Yuan. I’ll go out to take a look.”
With that, she took out a gun from her backpack, stood up, and walked to the entrance.
At this moment, the rain was heavier than before, and the wind was roaring. Coupled with the occasional thunderclap, it made people shudder with fear.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan also stood up. Tang Li said to Mrs. Guo, “It’s very dangerous for you to go out at this time. Don’t go out yet.”
With that, she walked to the entrance and stood by Mrs. Guo, staring outside.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, brightening up the entire mountain.
When two bright figures appeared in her line of sight because of the lightning, Mrs. Guo unconsciously tightened her grip on the gun.
Qi Yihan, who was standing beside Tang Li, said, “It’s the father and daughter we saw in the noodle restaurant.”
“Yes.” Tang Li also saw them clearly.
Mrs. Guo was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, she said to the two of them, “In that case, those two people should be natives of the mountain. The natives of the mountain will go down the mountain periodically to exchange the things in the mountain for some daily necessities.”
After saying that, she thought for a moment and said, “But the natives in the mountain are very xenophobic and very vengeful. We’d better help them. Otherwise, when we pass by their residence, we’ll definitely be put in a spot.”
Tang Li glanced at Mrs. Guo, who was frowning. It was obvious that she had experienced this before.
However…
“They have already discovered our cave and are coming over.�
Just as Tang Li finished speaking, another bolt of lightning tore through the sky. As expected, the two figures were getting closer and closer to them.
Mrs. Guo reminded them, “It’s best if we don’t talk to them later. Otherwise, they might hold a grudge against us.”
Actually, Mrs. Guo was not afraid of them, but they were looking for her daughter’s soul this time. She did not want to complicate things.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan nodded at the same time.
At this moment, the father and daughter were not far away from the cave.
When the father and daughter arrived, they looked at the three people standing at the entrance of the cave and stopped.
The two of them were wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats. The basket on their backs was covered with oil paper. At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke to them.
Mrs. Guo and Tang Li understood what he said.
Mrs. Guo replied, “Sure.”
Then, she said to Tang Li and Qi Yihan, “Let’s go. They’re just looking for a shelter. Let’s go back to rest.”
With that, she turned around and walked towards Yuan Yuan.
Tang Li glanced at the girl.
At this moment, the girl was peeping at Qi Yihan. Tang Li snorted in her heart and pulled Qi Yihan towards where they were sitting.
Only then did the father and daughter enter.
They took off their raincoats and bamboo hats at the entrance of the cave, but they did not put down the basket. Instead, they carried the basket and walked to a place slightly away from Tang Li and the others before sitting down.
The two of them sat down before placing the basket in front of them. The middle-aged man closed his eyes to rest. The girl didn’t peek at Qi Yihan anymore. Instead, she looked at Yuan Yuan with curiosity in her eyes.
With them around, Tang Li could not fall asleep.
They carried a sinister aura with them, indicating that something bad would happen tonight.
As expected, soon, an evil wind blew into the cave and extinguished the fire.
Then, sound resembling that of chewing and rolling came from outside the cave.
Mrs. Guo hugged her daughter tightly and whispered, “Mrs. Qi.”
“Don’t open your eyes. Hold on to something beside you.”
Mrs. Guo could hear Tang Li speaking directly to her mind. Then, she quickly reached out her hand.
She knew that it was the talisman drawn by Tang Li.
Tang Li wanted to test the father and daughter, so she purposely said in a scared voice, “Hubby, I’m afraid of the dark ~”
Qi Yihan knew that she did it on purpose. He touched her head and said cooperatively, “I brought a flashlight. Hold on, I’ll find it.”
When Qi Yihan said this, Tang Li felt two pairs of eyes staring at her.
The middle-aged man said very quietly, “You don’t have long to live.”
However, he did not stop Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan quickly found a flashlight and pressed the button.
Tang Li quickly covered his eyes with one hand. At the same time, she watched as the lightning turned green. The light revealed a few skulls floating in the air. Behind the skulls were a few headless ghosts. The skulls were staring at them with their dark and deep eyes, and there were two balls of green flames inside.
The entire cave became even gloomier.
The father and daughter quickly took out the copper bell from their waists and quickly chanted something while shaking it. The ghosts were obviously afraid of the copper bell and charged towards the flashlight.
Tang Li looked at the group of ghosts and pursed her lips. She covered Qi Yihan’s hand with one hand and took the flashlight with the other before turning it off.
The entire cave instantly fell into darkness again. A powerful Yin Spirit swept over. However, when it was one meter away from Tang Li, as if it had encountered something terrifying, the sound of ghosts wailing suddenly came from the cave. Half a minute later, the sound suddenly disappeared.
The entire cave was no longer surrounded by Yin Spirit. It was abnormally quiet so quiet that one could hear the rain and leaves outside the cave, as well as the faint neighing of the horses in the other two caves.
Tang Li quickly drew in the darkness with her fingers. Soon, the horses stopped neighing.
Then, Tang Li’s trembling voice was heard. “Hubby, I’m scared.”
The moment Tang Li removed her hand from Qi Yihan’s eyes, he switched on the flashlight again.
However, there was nothing in the cave this time.
The father and daughter, who were chanting, looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged man then looked at Qi Yihan unhappily and quickly said something in a stern voice.
Although Qi Yihan did not understand, he could guess what he meant.
The middle-aged man was so angry that he grumbled something else.
At that moment, Tang Li sneered and replied, “You guys are the ones who brought these things in. How dare you put the blame on my old flashlight. Who gave you the cheek to do that?”
As Tang Li spoke, she grabbed the flashlight to shine on the man.
The middle-aged man quickly raised his hand to block the light.
He probably did not expect Tang Li to understand him, so he stopped talking.
At this moment, the girl suddenly said, “Sorry, we didn’t expect something to follow us. I’m sorry.”
