The location of the Dark Forest is relatively remote, close to the mountains, and it was originally intended to be developed into a tourist attraction.
At the beginning, it was indeed more popular, but in the past two years, I don't know why, and it has suddenly become desolate.
In the past few years, most of the surrounding residents have left, and only a few people still live here.
When Ye Zixuan arrived at the Dark Forest, it was already almost dark, and if Lingyun Sect hadn't provided him with a map before, I'm afraid it would have taken a lot of time to find it.
At this moment, in front of him, towering trees grow, and their lush branches are intertwined, which seem to cover the sky.
When Ye Zixuan was just about to walk into the forest, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Wait a minute, don't go in!"
” Turning his head, he saw a young woman running quickly, her dress was very simple, but it gave people a delicate and refined feeling.
To Ye Zixuan's surprise, she was carrying a small basket on her back, in which some herbs were placed, presumably to collect herbs here.
It's just that the woman's face was a little anxious, as if she was afraid that Ye Zixuan would walk into the forest.
Ye Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, beauty?"
” The woman looked at the forest in front of her with a strange expression, and said, "You are a foreigner, right?"
” "A friend of mine was traveling here some time ago, and then suddenly lost contact, and I came to look for her."
Ye Zixuan casually made an excuse.
The woman's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "I advise you not to go in, this forest is a bit evil, and now it is almost dark, ordinary people will not approach here at this time." ” Well?
Ye Zixuan frowned, could it be that this forest is weird?
Under his soft grinding, the woman said: "It used to be a tourist attraction, but in the past few years, a lot of strange things have happened, which has made people panic, and then the developer has withdrawn its investment, and it has become more and more desolate." ” "What's weird?"
Ye Zixuan's heart moved.
The woman's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and said: "Every time this forest is about to get dark, it will fog inexplicably, and as long as someone goes in, it will never come out again." ” "Moreover, there are often people who go missing, and they are basically concentrated when it is dark, so we locals don't dare to come here as long as it is dark."
"I also had to go to this neighborhood to pick herbs and sell them to supplement my family because my family needed money, otherwise who would dare to come here, I advise you not to go in."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, when Ye Zixuan looked in the direction of the forest again, he seemed to feel a trace of mist filling.
Seeing his unwilling look, the woman stomped her feet angrily, and said again: "I kindly remind you, don't be stupid, it is said that a few days ago, a team of people came here to find people, and some people watched them go in, but they never came out, maybe the bones have long been gone, who knows if there are any beasts in the forest." ” Ye Zixuan raised his eyebrows, the pair of centaurs that the woman said in her mouth may be the people sent out by the Lingyun Sect, it seems that they are more than lucky.
He quickly took out his mobile phone, found a photo of Wang Yurou and handed it over, "Take a look, have you ever seen this person?"
” "I don't think I've seen it."
The woman shook her head, and then said, "I've said everything that needs to be said, you can decide for yourself, I'll go first." ” As she spoke, the woman turned to leave.
Just walked a few steps, but found that Ye Zixuan also followed, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, why are you following me?"
” "I want you to help me ask if anyone around has seen my friend."
Ye Zixuan shook the photo of Wang Yurou in his mobile phone, since that forest was a little weird, it was better to go nearby and ask those residents first.
Then tomorrow, I'll find some time to explore the forest.
"Okay, but I'll have to go home and leave the herbs before I can help you inquire."
"Yes, I'll send you back."
Perhaps because of Ye Zixuan's good face, the woman had no defense against him, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with bringing a stranger home.
After the two reached an agreement, they left the Dark Forest.
Along the way, Ye Zixuan learned that the other party's name was Peach Blossom, and he and his grandfather depended on each other for their lives, and they lived a relatively poor life in ordinary times, making a living by picking medicines.
The two chatted all the way, and Peach Blossom became more and more surprised at Ye Zixuan, because the other party actually knew every herb she picked.
And that's not all.
Moreover, she knew the characteristics of each herb and how to use it, and what shocked her even more was that some poisonous herbs could become bitter medicines after treatment, achieving the effect of turning waste into treasure.
At this moment, I admired Ye Zixuan more and more.
The dark forest was not far from where Peach Blossom lived, and it didn't take long for him to reach his destination, "Brother Ye, there is my house in front." ” Peach Blossom pulled Ye Zixuan towards a building with a smile on her face, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the house was in a mess.
With a grimace, she threw the basket on the ground and hurried in.
I saw an old man standing there with a sad face, and there were three young men opposite him, who were not good people at first glance.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Peach Blossom looked worried and checked the old man's body, and found that he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
The old man sighed and said, "I'm fine. ” "What do you mean it's okay, old immortal, you haven't paid this month's protection fee, if you don't pay it again, then it's going to be a problem!"
A flat-headed man in the lead sneered.
"That's right, this area is the town of the brothers, don't pay the protection fee, you let the brothers drink the northwest wind."

"Hey, isn't this a peach blossom girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm getting more and more beautiful, why don't you go to my house tonight to talk, if you have a good chat, this protection fee can be waived for you, how about it?"
Several bastards laughed, and their eyes swept on Peach Blossom unscrupulously, although Peach Blossom was only eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed plainly, but her figure was good and she had nothing to say.
Peach Blossom stopped the old man behind him, and said with an angry face: "Didn't we just pay this month's protection fee, why do you want us to pay it again!"
” "There is a big man coming today, the brothers naturally want to entertain, if you don't take the money, what will we use to entertain others, do you think this is the reason?"
The flat-headed man smiled faintly.
