[Rural Areas] The Countryside is So Beautiful (Complete) - 29

Chapter 158
Zhang Xingzhu returned at this time, her face flushed. We were afraid she'd feel awkward, so we changed the subject, and she quickly joined in.

I never felt particularly hungry before when I skipped breakfast, but now, trapped on the mountain with the heavy rain outside, I felt a bit nauseous. However, this morning wasn't as lucky as last night, with so many cicadas randomly bumping into us. One autumn rain brings a chill. I hadn't felt it a few days ago, but now, wearing only thin clothes, we felt a bit cold. Luckily, there were two fires nearby that provided some warmth, but the firewood was running low, having burned for half the night.

"Are you familiar with this place?" I hadn't had a chance to ask Zhang Xingzhu last night because it was too late, but now I finally had the opportunity to inquire about the surrounding environment of the mountain.

“I’m not very familiar with this place. I’ve only been here twice. Because the terrain is quite steep and there aren’t any outstanding views, our travel agency specifically instructed our guides not to bring tourists here, as they would be responsible for any accidents. A few months ago, a guide had an accident with three rock climbers in this area.” Zhang Xingzhu added with lingering fear, “This is the only uninhabited mountain.”

“Oh, I see.” I nodded helplessly. I could see that Bai Jie and the others also looked somewhat disappointed. I asked again, “Besides that floating bridge, there should be other paths on this mountain, right?”

“Yes, there are. I know there are stone steps in the Qiankun Cave that can be used to cross the stream, but with the water so high now, they’ve definitely overflowed. There is a path to the west, but it’s all mountains there, and you’ll only get further and further away. If you get lost, it’ll be difficult to get out… The best thing for us now is to wait here for the rescuers to come up the mountain and save us.”

“That’s the only way.” I knew that hope was slim, but it was always good to have some hope, since going deeper into the mountains would bring many unknowns. At this point, we didn't know that the so-called rescuers were just wishful thinking on the part of a few people. A large landslide had occurred in the area near the mountain village, and people on Baiyu Mountain were being urgently evacuated downhill. No one would have thought about a few people trapped a few miles away on the mountain (they assumed we had definitely been swept downstream).

Just as I was about to say something more, I suddenly heard a gurgling sound and jumped up in surprise, asking, "What was that sound?"

The three women were startled by my sudden movement and hurriedly stood up, looking around. At that moment, a clear gurgling sound came from behind them. The three women looked awkwardly at Zhang Xingzhu, who blushed and explained, "I'm a little hungry..."

The others burst into laughter, their earlier dejection vanishing. Seeing that this wasn't working, I suggested, "Let me tell you a joke."

"Okay!" To distract themselves from their hunger, the three women unanimously agreed.

"Ahem, ahem," I cleared my throat and began, "A man was walking through a graveyard late at night when he heard a series of knocking sounds. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. Just as he was hesitating whether to run away, he finally saw someone carving a tombstone. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the man, 'You almost scared me to death! What are you doing in the middle of the night?' The man looked up and replied, 'They misspelled my name, I'm correcting it!'"

"What?!" Aunt Xing exclaimed first, "Don't tell such scary things, okay? We're three women!" "

That's right, knowing that the three of us are all alone on the mountain, you still make things up. You're punished by having to tell the story again," Bai Jie added.

It seemed the relentless wind and rain outside had frightened them even in broad daylight. I glanced at Zhang Xingzhu's slightly pale face and said, "Alright, let's do another one. A female mayor and a male municipal party secretary are at a banquet. During the meal, in high spirits, the secretary says, 'Secretaries usually served as mayors!' The female mayor cleverly replies, 'Yes, secretaries are usually promoted from mayors!'"

Because I emphasized the important parts, they quickly understood, blushing and embarrassed to laugh. Bai Jie, however, playfully punched my leg and said angrily, "Speak properly." Seeing the meaningful look in Director Xing's eyes, she added superfluously, "Don't talk nonsense anymore, or I'll have Director Xing deal with you. She's the highest-ranking official here."

"Okay, Director Xing, you'd better deal with me!" I smiled and glanced at Aunt Xing, my gaze drifting down to her alluring, partially concealed breasts.

Her cheeks flushed, and she immediately and subtly curled her legs up in front of her, resting her chin on her hands. She smiled and said, "I can't control you; we're not in the same system."

"Then I volunteer to join the banking system, hehe," I teased.

"Hurry up and say it, don't interrupt," Bai Jie said, slapping me again, clearly jealous.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you," I quickly made a pleading gesture and began, "There's a beautiful female doctor at a certain hospital who's very popular with male patients. She has many romantic and wealthy suitors, and of course, she's also encountered a lot of sexual harassment…

After a gentleman had a kidney examination at the hospital, the beautiful female doctor wanted to check his kidney detoxification function. She gave him a small, sealed glass jar and told him to go home and bring back some urine samples from the previous day.

The next day, when the gentleman returned, the female doctor found the jar was still empty.

The gentleman explained, 'Yesterday, I tried with my right hand for a long time, but nothing happened. I tried with my left hand, but still no luck. I asked my wife to help, and she tried with both hands, but it was no use either. I asked her to use her mouth, but still no luck.'

The female doctor blushed deeply.

The gentleman continued, 'Just then, my cousin came to my house to give me a gift. She's younger and stronger, so I asked her to help. She also tried with her hands first, then with her mouth, trying very hard…'

'Stop! Stop!'" The female doctor couldn't hold back any longer: "This kind of thing... you asked your cousin to help you?"

The man said, "She was happy to! But it still didn't work! That's why I came to you, to see if you could..."

The female doctor angrily asked, "Could you what?"

The man replied, "Could you open the lid of this glass jar?"

Earlier, when I was telling the story, the women's faces had become somewhat unnatural, but none of them dared to stop me. By the end, their faces were all flushed, clearly understanding what was going on. Aunt Xing and Bai Jie, in particular, were subtly glaring at me, telling me to shut up, thinking I was talking about them. But by the end, they realized they had misunderstood; they knew I was telling a dirty joke but were too embarrassed to laugh.

"Isn't it funny? Zhang Xingzhu, why is your face so red? Are you thinking something else?" "I looked at her seriously and asked.

"No, no, it's funny," she hurriedly said, her face turning even redder. She was such an innocent young girl, easily teased.

"Don't tease the young girl," Aunt Xing quickly intervened.

The rain had clearly lessened by this time. I stood up and looked outside. They noticed and followed me to the doorway, watching the endless stream of raindrops fall.

"I'll look around and see if there's anything to eat. You all wait here," I said to them, turning back to prepare to disappear into the rain.

"Why don't we wait until the rain subsides a bit more?" Bai Jie advised from behind. I waved to them with my back turned and stepped into the rain.

Although the rain had lessened considerably, the distance was still a vast expanse of white. I followed the footprints I had made the night before toward an open area. The rain quickly soaked my clothes, and I felt chilly all over. When I reached the spot where I had fallen into the water the night before, I was utterly devastated. The overflowing river had already covered the slippery rocks on the bank. What was originally only about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) wide was now a full fifty meters. With the rain obscuring the view, the opposite bank was a blurry mess. What made me even more desperate was that the two sides were now located in a canyon, making it impossible for anyone to notice us.

On my way back, I didn't follow the original path. Instead, I used a wooden stick to walk along the riverbank, hoping to catch some fish. Based on my experience, fish have a natural tendency to migrate; they'll swim upstream whenever there's flowing water. Back in Luzhen, I'd caught fish in the rice paddies with Hu Tou and the others; there were plenty of fish in those drainage ditches.

After walking a short distance, I saw a ditch eroded by rainwater flowing along the winding mountainside into the river. The water had sculpted a natural depression there, and standing nearby, I saw several crucian carp about the length of chopsticks and some smaller, indistinct fish swimming in the depression. They kept struggling upstream with the current, but unfortunately, the drop was too great, and they failed time and again.

Overjoyed, I took off my shoes, rolled up my trousers and sleeves, and busied myself in the river for a while, gathering a large bundle of water plants. I quietly walked to a spot not far from the depression and built a makeshift dam with the water plants. Then I weighed it down with stones on both sides before moving upstream and building another stone dam there as well, thus blocking the flow of water.

The water plants downstream filtered the water, and soon the fish in the depression had nowhere to escape. I frantically jumped in and grabbed the fish: four two-ounce crucian carp, two eels, and a black carp. I didn't care about the other small fish and shrimp and released them back into the river.

Carrying the fish skewered on thin branches, I repeated the plan, and naturally returned home with a full catch, confident that it would be enough for lunch for four people.

Sure enough, the three women were extremely excited when they saw my catch. They ignored my advice, grabbed the fish, and braved the rain to go to the pond not far from the house to clean and wash them. Zhang Xingzhu had a small knife on her keychain, which was no problem for cleaning the fish. I was happy to relax, so I prepared a fire to grill the fish. Actually, there was no need to prepare anything; the storm last night had broken countless branches, and I just grabbed two branches about the thickness of my wrist and pulled them back. I also gathered a lot of grass leaves I didn't know the names of to wrap the fish.

After the girls had finished cleaning the fish with laughter, and seeing that I had built a big fire, they all started skewering two fish on branches and grilling them over the fire. Soon, sizzling steam rose from the fish, and a faint fishy smell filled the hut. After about half an hour, we couldn't resist anymore and started eating without a care for appearances. Although we had eaten two meals without salt, no one cared much when we were hungry. As I ate, I explained how I caught the fish, which amazed the girls, who all kept clamoring to go fish with me that afternoon.

After eating, we realized we were incredibly thirsty. We hadn't drunk much water since last night. Last night, they only drank from the dripping water under the eaves after my repeated urging. Now that the rain had lessened considerably, getting water was difficult. I had read in a book that some plant roots contain abundant water. This mountain range has been relatively untouched by humans, and it's rich in plants, but unfortunately, I didn't know which ones. I was afraid we might find some poisonous plants, which would all end in disaster, so I didn't offer any suggestions. I explained it to them again, asking if we could find any broken containers to boil some water.

To my surprise, it was right behind the house! I shouted excitedly. Thinking something was wrong, they rushed out of the house into the rain.

"Look what this is!" I exclaimed, trembling with excitement as I pointed to a large patch of plants in the grass.

"I...I can't believe my eyes, can I?" Bai Jie rubbed her eyes, pointing incredulously, "Tomatoes! So many tomatoes here! My God...and a watermelon vine with such a huge watermelon! How is this possible?"

Zhang Xingzhu was also jumping up and down, hugging Aunt Xing. Aunt Xing seemed calmer, but the excitement on her face was undeniable.

Large, bright green watermelons lay in the grass. I counted seven in total, seven on one vine, though two were still small. A large area of tomatoes was already ripe, some dried by the sun and moldy from the rain.

We picked the biggest watermelon, and then the women picked a few ripe tomatoes. Of course, they didn't pick many, as they didn't know how long they would be stuck here and wanted to save some for later.

I cut open the large watermelon with a knife. It was already a little overripe inside; the moment the knife touched it, the watermelon split open with a "pop," revealing bright red and tender pink flesh that made everyone swallow hard. I divided it into several large pieces and handed them to them, then grabbed a piece and started eating myself. The cool, sweet watermelon juice filled my dry throat, instantly making me feel refreshed. By the end, everyone was full, and the tomatoes were no longer needed.

Only after they were full did they remember the origin of the fruit. Zhang Xingzhu asked her question, and Aunt Xing and the other woman turned to look at me, wondering how there could be such a large fruit orchard behind the house.

"Hehe, we want to thank the forest ranger who used to work here," I said vaguely.

"You mean these fruits were planted by the forest ranger?" Bai Jie countered.

"Well, sort of, otherwise they would have just appeared out of the sky," I said, though I didn't really think so, but I couldn't say it aloud, otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to eat anymore.

Chapter 159
People get sleepy easily after a full meal. We've been roasting by the fire for half a day, and I'm really getting sleepy. I lay straight down on the mat and sighed, "If only we could never get out of here! With you beautiful ladies to eat, drink, and sleep with, life would be so carefree, I'd never want to

leave." Their expressions varied upon hearing this. "What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't want to be with you, you rascal!" Zhang Xingzhu teased.

"Let me tell you a joke..." I was interrupted before I could finish, knowing I was never going to say anything nice. Actually, the women were also a bit sleepy; rainy days easily make people bored. After a moment of awkwardness, they all lay back down on the mat, having already slept like this the night before. Bai Jie turned her back to me, avoiding my gaze, and whispered something to Aunt Xing. Zhang Xingzhu, meanwhile, stared up at the thatched hut, wisps of smoke curling around it before disappearing back out the door. Seeing Bai Jie's delicate body before me, I recalled the passionate encounter of the previous night and felt an overwhelming urge to pounce on her, to press her soft, warm body beneath me. Before I knew it, I felt an erection.

However, things were different now than the night before, and I dared not be presumptuous. I merely brushed against Bai Jie's waist; she sensed it and immediately moved closer to Aunt Xing, avoiding my advances. I didn't continue, and drifted off to sleep, lost in thought.

Unconsciously, I remembered Zhang Xingzhu and my master's words of advice: "Encountering bamboo brings nobility, a red robe on the chest. Tribulations and blessings, two women embracing." These words already seem to echo my own experience. Alas, even though I knew my master had warned me, I still inevitably encountered calamity, and almost drowned in the river. Fortunately, I survived. Does "good fortune" mean having multiple wives? After all, there's a scene of two women embracing later; could it refer to Bai Jie and Aunt Xing? But considering the earlier image of Hong Luan in my chest, it becomes illogical, because the omen in the precepts is on Zhang Xingzhu, and I almost instinctively sensed it when she was in my room.

Suddenly, another thought occurred to me: fortune has both calamities and blessings, not just one calamity and one blessing. Could it be multiple calamities? Very likely. This means my deduction about the two women embracing might be wrong. Could this blessing be on this mountain, or perhaps there's something unfamiliar on the mountain? I pondered this and still couldn't find a definite answer. The sorcerer calculates others but not themselves; those connected to me cannot be predicted, only sensed. I sighed inwardly.

When I woke up in the afternoon, it was already late. It was still drizzling outside, but at this time it was just a light drizzle. When I was about to go catch fish, the girls all wanted to come with me, which made me both laugh and cry. I quickly said, "Do you think we're going to play? The mountain road is steep and slippery, and it's raining. What if you catch a cold?"

"It's okay. It's just a light drizzle now. In the poem 'Fisherman's Song,' it says, 'Wearing a green bamboo hat and a green raincoat, one need not return in the slanting wind and fine rain.' What's a little rain?" Bai Jie argued mischievously, like a child.

"Hehe, playing the sophisticated card now. 'No need to return' means you don't want to return. Do you prefer to be soaked in the rain rather than come?" I teased with a laugh.

"It's so boring having the three of us in the house. There are no books to read, or at least a radio would be nice," Zhang Xingzhu pouted and muttered.

I broke out in a cold sweat and chimed in, "How about I get you a sofa, turn on the air conditioning, and find some actors to perform? Honestly, if you want to go, go. I won't care if you can't walk back."

"Fine, we won't go then! We want to help you, but you won't even let us!" she said angrily.

"Thanks, but you're the kind who only make things worse. I don't deserve it. How about this: one of you three comes with me, so we can look out for each other when we're catching fish. The other two can gather some firewood and see if there's anything to eat around here. We can't eat fish all the time," I said, looking them over as I offered my concession.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Zhang Xingzhu hurriedly raised her hand, but as soon as she finished speaking, she frowned, clutched her stomach, and squatted down, no longer daring to jump.

"What's wrong?" I quickly asked with concern.

"Don't worry about girls' affairs." Bai Jie glared at me again and said, "Looks like Xingzhu can't go. Director Xing, you go, I'll gather firewood."

"Okay," Aunt Xing, who hadn't spoken until now, nodded.

We walked back to the riverbank along the original path, but the rain stopped soon after we went out. Although the sky was still gloomy, it improved our depressed mood a bit. At this time, the water flow in the mountain crevices was much smaller. If we waited another half hour, there probably wouldn't be any fish to catch. The two of us hurriedly went to three different places and only caught six fish, but we still had three left from noon, which should be enough for dinner. Just

as we were about to head back, we suddenly saw a rabbit emerge from the water, soaking wet. As soon as it saw us, it turned and ran away.

"Catch the rabbit!" I shouted, grabbing the fish, and started chasing. If I could catch it, we wouldn't have to eat fish that night. Aunt Xing followed behind, panting.

This rabbit was very cunning. Although it ran slowly on the mountain path, it gave us a real headache. After all, there were large rocks everywhere, so our speed was completely limited. It darted left and right through the dense forest, leading us to some unknown place in no time. The wretched rabbit then disappeared into the nearby bushes.

"Frustrated," I leaned against a rock, panting, and casually tossed the fish onto the grass. Aunt Xing caught up, also panting.

From my angle, I could clearly see the round shape of her full breasts. Because I had torn her shirt, she had tied the buttonholes with a small rope, making it very loose, and her entire chest was almost completely visible. As she walked, her two round, full, snow-white breasts were faintly visible, swaying like ripe peaches, as if they might burst out of her clothes at any moment, beckoning me to pick and taste them.

Seeing me staring intently at her chest, Aunt Xing's cheeks flushed crimson with embarrassment. She instinctively covered her ample bosom with her arms and said softly, "Wang Hao, what...what are you looking at? Your eyes are so restless...let's go!"

"Hehe," I slumped down on a large rock beside the mountain path. The rocks here were limestone, which absorbed water very quickly; the rain had stopped and it was already dry. I patted the rock beside me and said, "Let's rest for a bit. We've walked twice, it's quite tiring...but," I changed the subject, "I didn't expect your breasts to be so big. I regret not rubbing them more last night."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Xing's face immediately filled with anger. "You scoundrel! Don't think you can get away with this just because of what happened last night. Forget about last night, or I'll never forgive you! If you dare harass me again, hmph, I'll tell Wang Qian!"

"A bug! There's a bug crawling on you! Don't move!" I quickly jumped up from the rock.

"Where?" Aunt Xing's face immediately turned deathly pale, and she stood there, too afraid to move.

"Don't move, I'll get it down for you..." I stepped forward and hugged her tightly, then pulled her sharply, and we both fell down, Aunt Xing sitting in my lap.

"What are you doing?" By this time, she knew I was lying to her.

"This work is exclusively published in text form on 16k.com. Unauthorized reproduction or excerpting is prohibited. For more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit k.cn! What do you think?" I smiled smugly and lowered my head to kiss her soft lips. Aunt Xing's body went limp, her white teeth biting her sexy red lips to prevent my tongue from entering. Her slender, exquisite body twisted violently, her hands pounding my back desperately. My hands quickly grabbed Aunt Xing's breasts, caressing her white, perky orbs. The smooth, soft touch made my heart race even more. After a while, her body began to tremble slightly, and her panting almost turned into cries.

I stopped what I was doing, looked at her flushed face, and laughed, "Aunt Xing, are you still angry?"

She couldn't be fierce anymore, and punched me twice, saying, "You little rascal, you always find ways to torment women, and you got your way again."

My hand suddenly grabbed the protrusion on her full breasts, pressing directly against the soft, plump flesh. She was stimulated and immediately grabbed my groping hand, "No, stop touching me..."

I gripped her soft hand back, saying, "I love tormenting Aunt Xing, I wish I could melt into your body!"

My blatant teasing and her physical reaction made her face flush again, but I could sense that she wasn't so resistant anymore, or rather, her tight defenses had opened a gap for me.

"Who believes your nonsense? I'm warning you again, don't you dare try anything with me. After we leave the mountain, everything will be the same as before, nothing happened between us." She said, clutching her shirt tighter, pretending nothing was wrong.

"Nothing happened?" I raised an eyebrow, pulled back the shirt covering my waist, and feigned great pain, saying, "Look here, who scratched me last night? If Bai Jie asks when we get back, I'll have to give an explanation."

Aunt Xing's face flushed crimson, and she pinched my shoulder hard. "Don't talk nonsense," she said, then rubbed my waist, murmuring weakly, "Ah Hao, we can't keep making mistakes... There's still a chance to correct them..." Her voice was so low it was almost inaudible. At this moment, I was no longer the aloof Director Xing, nor did I seem like a stern elder; I was more like a weak woman facing a conqueror.

Before she could finish speaking, my fingers had already deftly slid to Aunt Xing's round buttocks. Her buttocks, tightly wrapped in her panties, were sticking out from under her pants. Her body trembled as if electrocuted, and she instinctively grabbed my hand, saying, "No...don't..."

My fingers rubbed and teased her, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily... In no time, Aunt Xing's breathing became heavier and heavier. Her two delicate hands weakly resisted, and she gasped, "You little rascal! How long are you going to keep this up...I'm your Aunt Xing!"

Even at this point, she still hadn't adjusted her mindset. Although she had already lost her virginity to me, deep down she still saw herself as a superior director, not a woman conquered in bed. It seems the road ahead is still long and arduous. I still need to properly train Aunt Xing, to make her completely shed the airs of an elder or leader and become a real woman, with only desire and love, unrestrained love...

Thinking of this, my hand decisively slid forward, invading her cleft lace panties and stimulating her sensitive areas.

"Oh... Wang Hao, you... take it out quickly," Aunt Xing groaned dreamily under my teasing caresses. "Don't... tease me anymore, take it out quickly..." Her voice trembled violently, unsure whether to refuse or if she really liked the feeling.

I became more and more audacious, pushing away her constantly pulling hands while leaning Aunt Xing against me and pulling down her pants.

"No, let me go, I can't!" She twisted her body, trying to get out of my arms, but I held her tightly, my hands kneading Aunt Xing's inner thighs while my lips licked her red lips, making her body go weak and her cleft wet with desire.

"Aunt Xing, you're wet..." I kissed her mischievously, "You still dare to ask me to stop? You're shameless..."

"You bastard, you bastard..." Hearing this, she loosened all her grip and began rubbing against my chest, sticking out her tongue to stop me from continuing my nonsense.

When I reached out to pull down her pants again, she reacted and struggled again, saying, "No, what if someone sees us?"

"Hehe, who would see us?" I knew it was her guilty excuse, after all, there could only be four of us on this mountain, and Bai Jie and Zhang Xingzhu were cooped up in the hut and wouldn't come out.

"You bastard..." she muttered under her breath, obediently lifting her leg so I could pull her pants down to her knees. My eyes immediately lit up, staring intently at this rare sight. Suddenly, I lifted Aunt Xing up, half-squatting on the rock facing me, her body still upright. Her pants had slipped down to her ankles, her long, shapely thighs now completely exposed, welcoming my inspection in the most shameful position...

"No... don't look... Ah Hao..." Aunt Xing's face showed a dreamlike expression, utterly ashamed, her fair body trembling, pleading incoherently.

"Like this, don't move." I completely pinned her down, forcibly kissing her, grabbing her wrists with one hand and kneading her breasts with the other. Aunt Xing's eyes were closed, her hair disheveled in the mountain wind, covering half her face. I pulled her body closer, burying my head in her breasts. She squatted there, breathing heavily, and whispered, "Wang Hao, stop messing around... I beg you, let me go."

I ignored her and continued sucking and kneading. She pleaded again, "Let me go, it's a bit cold here, my legs are numb from squatting..." At this moment, I also noticed that the mountain wind was quite chilly, so I picked her up from the rock. Afraid of falling, she had to cling tightly to my neck.

Chapter 160
"Hehe, it's not cold now, is it?" The two of us sat behind a large rock, a boulder over ten feet high that blocked the mountain wind, forming a natural semicircle, which was quite warm inside. My hand continued to pull at her pants, making sure they were completely off her body.

"Oh... you... why do you..." Aunt Xing was already flushed from what I had done, constantly twisting her hips on the rock.

"What, don't you like it when I do this?" I kneaded her full breasts with one hand, and slipped the other hand inside her panties. “No…I don’t like it. How can you do this to Grandpa Zheng? He’s my husband…” Director Xing said, closing her eyes and twisting her head from side to side. “I’m a married woman. I…please don’t do this…”

“You’re such a good woman. It’s a pity Grandpa Zheng doesn’t know that.” I had already lifted up Aunt Xing’s top, revealing her fair belly, her delicate and firm breasts, white and soft, with small, pointed, pink nipples trembling slightly on her fair skin. I grabbed her breasts and slowly squeezed them. A blush spread across her fair cheeks, and her jade-like areolas turned into a delicate peach color. “I heard that Grandpa Zheng was not a good man back then. Can you guarantee that he hasn’t been unfaithful outside? Besides, your reaction last night told me that you need this. Are you going to keep all of this to yourself?” I reached up and pulled up her shirt, taking off her underwear as well. "Aunt Xing, look here! Your abdomen is so flat, every inch of your skin is as delicate and smooth as a baby's, there isn't a single blemish on your body, and your breasts are so perky, not sagging at all. Such a perfect body, it's simply a miracle of the Creator! Are you really forty years old?"

Aunt Xing had been listening intently, her already fragile rationality completely crumbling away. Faced with my sweet words, she couldn't muster any thought of resistance. She closed her eyes and resignedly let my tongue lick her soft lips. She also slightly loosened her teeth to welcome my tongue into her warm, moist mouth, and her soft, smooth tongue awkwardly and shyly intertwined with mine. A strong sense of guilt suddenly surged from her chest. She clearly felt every cell in her body mixed with excitement, and she just wanted to scream a few times to release the desire deep within her heart.

I released her and placed her body on the smooth stone slab. Then I looked Aunt Xing up and down, examining her naked body. She opened her eyes a crack and, seeing me looking at her with admiration, she immediately felt ashamed and her whole body burned. Embarrassed, she covered her face with her hands, twisting her body and saying, "Don't look, don't look."

I told her to turn over and lie on her back, which she obediently did. Her thighs were completely spread apart, and my hand reached around to touch the base of her thighs. Aunt Xing trembled and struggled slightly, but another kind of stimulating sensation made her give up the struggle, letting my hand freely caress her thighs. She had never experienced such stimulation before, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Her long hair, reaching her shoulders, fell down, and her two jade-like legs involuntarily spread even wider, rising up.

"Lift it up a bit," I said, as if holding the handlebars of a bicycle, grabbing her two jade-like legs and pulling them upwards. Aunt Xing instinctively arched her body, completely exposing her private parts to my gaze. Although she closed her eyes, she could clearly feel the man's burning gaze, knowing that he was violating her with his eyes. This shameful action was not difficult for her. Since her lover wanted her to do this, she had no choice but to comply. It was just that covering up was very lewd. How could this respectable woman not feel ashamed? A tingling, electric sensation quickly spread throughout her body. Unable to resist the intense stimulation from there, the traditional taboo pleasure flowed out as my fingers slid down her inner thighs, wetting everything...

She felt as if she were being stripped naked and displayed in public. The feeling of shame and the physical pleasure came at the same time, causing her thighs to contract violently. Her hands, which were supporting her body, went weak, and she almost fell.

"Wang Hao, stop...stop..." Under my teasing, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, looking at me with red eyes, her eyes brimming with desire.

I reached out and kneaded her breasts, chuckling softly, "Not good, what do you want me to do? Hehe, then tell me quickly...do you want me to continue or stop?"

Aunt Xing's cheeks flushed instantly, her warm body began to heat up, and her full breasts gave off a firm and elastic feel. Her face was flushed, she was slightly out of breath, her delicate body leaning softly against the rock, not daring to look at me, she murmured, "Of course...stop..." I pressed with my index finger, bringing out a sticky, slimy substance: "What? Do you really need to stop?" I smiled maliciously, while my other hand increased the intensity of my attack on her inner thigh, teasingly caressing the smooth skin there...

"Mmm...really..." Aunt Xing moaned indistinctly, a dazzlingly white thigh trembling back and forth, actively raising her waist, hips, and legs to facilitate my movements, her eyes filled with a charming and alluring look, her naked body lying softly on the rock, looking indescribably tempting.

I simply couldn't find the right words to describe the beautiful scene before me, I only felt my mouth dry, my brain dizzy from lack of oxygen, my eyes fixed on her inner thigh that aroused endless fantasies, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Aunt Xing's body, like a catalyst for lust, making my blood boil. I could no longer suppress my impulse. I stuck out my tongue and gently licked the base of her thigh. At that moment, her legs were spread apart and her skin was extremely sensitive. She was already trembling all over from my teasing and arousing touch. It felt as if a soft feather had brushed against her tender and sensitive heart, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body.

"Ah..." Aunt Xing let out an uncontrollable moan, the intense tingling sensation flowing through her lower body, penetrating deep within. Her body instinctively writhed violently, trying to break free from the teasing of my lips and tongue. Unfortunately, I wouldn't let her have her way. I pressed my body between her legs to prevent her escape, while my other hand relentlessly played with her breasts. She was utterly powerless, forced to submit to the man before her, letting him indulge in his pleasure, unconsciously raising her hips to meet his desires (excerpt).

"Aunt Xing, are you really not going to? Why are you so sensitive today?" I grinned mischievously, suddenly releasing my restraints. Before she could react, I pulled her legs back together, pressing my body against hers, the two of us becoming one again.

"Ah..." Her body folded into a V-shape, letting out a high-pitched scream. Her beautiful head shook incessantly, her long hair flying wildly across the rocks, her full, firm breasts heaving against her chest. She clung tightly to my back, then cried out in a sobbing voice, "Wang Hao, you're a big bastard...don't be so...forceful!"

"What did you say?" I pretended not to hear, then suddenly shifted my body.

"Ah—" She trembled twice, letting out an uncontrollable groan, her face turning even redder.

"You bastard..." I pulled her onto the rock, the two of us clinging tightly together, like conjoined twins.

I leaned back, resting against the large, upright rock, which saved me a lot of effort. Her body had become quite sensitive. Looking at the woman in my lap, I pushed her body away slightly, teasingly saying, "Aunt Xing, look what you and I are doing..." As I spoke, I turned her head to look down.

Aunt Xing forced her eyes open, her face flushed as she stared down at what lay beneath her. Her alluring and wanton gaze was now even more captivating, making one's blood boil. She dared not look at me, closing her eyes again and turning away, her voice trembling with fear as she cried out, "You little bastard, you just torture me like this… I, I don't want to see…" But the scene from before was vividly etched into her mind, haunting her, filling her with tension, panic, and a touch of excitement. The stone slab was extremely smooth, offering no foothold. She could only cling to the man's body, completely at his mercy. The thought of doing such shameful things with him under the open sky, that frenzied emotion, added to the intense humiliation and climax amidst the waves of pleasure. She anxiously twisted her plump hips to meet the man's advances, her cries even more obscene, "You little bastard, Wang Hao… be gentle, I'm going to die… I'm going to die…" The intense and prolonged impact caused her to lose her mind instantly, her limbs tightly wrapped around my body, especially her jade-like legs, which were like hinges wrapped around my waist.

"Mmm...mmm..." Aunt Xing let out muffled moans under my caresses. After her orgasm, she seemed completely drained, her naked body lying softly in my arms. Her once fair and full breasts, now damp and rosy, looked incredibly alluring.

"You bastard, you've really tormented me to death..." She pinched my chest with her hand, which was regaining strength, her eyes filled with a seductive and alluring look.

"You're happy now, but what about me...or..." I said meaningfully, gazing at her small mouth.

"You bastard, you just want me to use my mouth..." She rolled off me, panting slightly, lying to the side, her hands roaming restlessly along my inner thighs. As her breathing calmed, she obediently lowered her head, her cherry-red lips opening wide, incredibly delicate. I took a deep breath, feeling an unparalleled pleasure and stimulation. Soon, I felt my blood boiling, a powerful force surging through my body with intense pleasure, seemingly searching for an outlet.

"Ugh... ah..." Aunt Xing cried out softly, seemingly unable to bear my increasingly deep thrusts. I stroked her hair and looked around. The vast sky was gloomy, devoid of any life, except for Director Xing's intoxicated moans. Thinking about playing with a beautiful woman under this empty sky, my blood was boiling, pleasure flashing through my body like lightning, my skin tensing instantly, unable to hold back my release...

After a long while, she slumped against my thigh, lying on my chest, breathing softly and moaning. I gently stroked her slippery body, wet with sweat from the intense exercise, silently savoring the extreme pleasure that had just ended.

"You bastard... Now you've got what you wanted... You're always bullying me..." Aunt Xing's cheeks flushed red, her jade-like hand caressing my strong chest, giving it a playful pinch, then exclaiming in surprise, "Your body is so sturdy... No wonder you're so strong!"

Looking at her alluring expression, a mixture of anger and shyness, I felt an immense pleasure, and teased, "Of course, otherwise how could I handle you? You're quite strong too, though; you almost broke my waist when you clamped your legs around it."

"You bastard, say that again and I'll sew your mouth shut..." She weakly pounded my chest.

The Aunt Xing before me was no longer the cold and aloof woman I'd first met; now she had transformed from a distant fairy into a woman close at hand. At least for this moment, I could feel that her heart belonged to me.

Watching her limp body lean against me, panting softly, my thoughts began to replay. Perhaps it was from the moment I arrived in Deer Town that I gradually developed my own goals. For various reasons, I unintentionally acquired one woman after another. But Aunt Xing before me was a mature woman, possessing exceptional intelligence and a captivating beauty. It was this woman who allowed me to experience the boundless sensuality of a beautiful married woman.

While my mind raced, Director Xing stared blankly at the man who had once again won her over. She no longer dared to underestimate him; his domineering nature made it impossible for her to refuse. The sex they had just shared left her powerless to resist, only able to passively enjoy it. Although he had forced himself on her, she felt no hatred. From last night onward, she understood her fate; she feared she would never be able to escape him again. While he wasn't exceptionally handsome, he was certainly not ugly. His brows held a fortitude beyond his years, his strong skin exuded a strong sense of security, and he radiated a subtle yet undeniable confidence. He was an outstanding man with immeasurable future achievements, and she had no regrets about becoming his woman. However, she was twenty years older than him, which made her feel insecure.

Aunt Xing was still comparing herself to him, but I brushed aside the hair on her forehead that was damp with sweat and began the prelude to the second wave of my assault.

"Bastard..." She was startled, not knowing how much I could do, but she was powerless to resist...

When it was over again, she had no strength left. If I hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have been able to sit up. I leaned her against a rock, dressed her disheveled clothes, and then tidied her hair and tied it up.

Chapter 161
After getting dressed, Aunt Xing regained her original dignified, charming, and capable image. The continuous orgasms she had just experienced had not affected her perfect figure. Her full breasts were even more erect, and the red marks on them exuded a strong sense of lust. Her face still had a faint blush, and her slender waist and round buttocks showed that she possessed all the beauty of a woman.

There's a type of woman whose beauty accumulates with age, acquiring a new depth. Aunt Xing is clearly this type of woman. She's poised, capable, and always has a warm, unapproachable air despite her smile. But who would have guessed that this seemingly aloof woman is so passionate in love? Only by delving into her heart can you truly appreciate her unique charm. I'm suddenly reminded of a saying: an elegant woman is like a cup of tea, leaving a lingering aftertaste; an elegant woman is like a well, becoming more captivating the more you dig. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must remove her mask and let her truly belong to you.

I kissed her cheek, then pointed to my crotch. Two blushes rose on her face; she clearly understood what I meant. As she pulled the hibernating snake back into her pants, she gave a mischievous yet shy smile, saying, "You were so majestic just now, but now you're finally behaving yourself."

"Hehe, you should thank it properly. Without its selfless sacrifice, you wouldn't have felt satisfied. So how are you going to repay it?"

"You're going to die... talking nonsense again." She leaned weakly against the stone, trying to walk, but her whole body was sore and numb that she couldn't move at all.

"Looks like only Pigsy can carry his wife?" I said, picking up the string of fish and squatting down.

She didn't refuse, clinging to my back, saying, "Serves you right, you asked for it. Who told you to act like a madman when I was begging for mercy? My... it's all swollen."

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not entirely my fault. Bai Jie and the others could probably hear you just now..." I really hadn't expected that Aunt Xing's body hadn't been explored enough; she seemed like a virgin.

"And you two were shameless last night, actually doing this in the room..." She spat on my back and pounded my spine, saying, "She didn't even resist and let you do whatever you wanted?"

"Then why didn't you resist?" I asked back with a smile.

"Wang Hao, how did you get involved with Bai Jie... I think she has high standards... You saw that on the way here, that Section Chief Ma kept trying to curry favor with her, but she ignored him." Aunt Xing kept probing, it seems women are naturally gossipy.

"What, so interested? You've already peeked a few times, aren't you satisfied? How about we let you see a little more tonight, how about we do a double penetration?" I said, lifting her up forcefully and kneading her smooth, plump buttocks.

"Be gentle, that's flesh..." she shrieked against my back, pounding my chest a few times with her small fists, then stamping her foot and pouting, "How...how can you say such things?"

"Hehe, what does it matter? Bai Jie isn't an outsider! You know, just like you, I fell for her the moment I saw her, and couldn't help but feel restless. Just thinking about it makes my body warm."

"You bastard, stop saying such indecent things, and keep calling me Aunt Xing. You don't treat me like an elder at all. You want me and Bai Jie to be yours...you're dreaming," her soft, delicate body pressed tightly against my back, her elastic breasts rubbing against my senses.

"Well...hehe, you're a bit special. Didn't I tell you? Who told you to be so beautiful? Look at your skin, smooth as milk, you're practically a young married woman. So, as the saying goes, beauty is a curse, who told you to be so beautiful?" Knowing she wouldn't be angry, I shamelessly joked.

"Pah, does growing up to be beautiful mean you're breaking the law? There are so many beautiful women in the country, why did you have to set your sights on me and Bai Jie?" She said, blushing, and then suddenly fell silent. Because her back was turned, I didn't know what she was thinking. Just as I was about to ask, Aunt Xing said, "Hey, you little rascal, I know why you like us...?"

"What?" I asked casually.

"Do you have a mother complex? I told you I'm twenty years older than you, how could you possibly have designs on me? Wang Qian is such a good girl, you should cherish her in the future."

I almost fainted when I heard this. I didn't expect her to make such a nonsensical analysis, so I couldn't help but slap her butt and said, "You know what, my feelings for you are quite complicated, but the thing I want to do most is to violate you, to make you submit to me... to hold your exquisite body for the rest of my life." "

You bastard, you're just full of sweet talk. Do you think I'm still some little girl who doesn't know anything, and that a few sweet words from you men can make me lose my bearings? Let me tell you, I've seen more than you've seen, I'm way past that age." She wrapped her arms around my neck and kept breathing into my ear.

"Really?" I was taken aback, knowing that Aunt Xing was telling the truth. After all, she was a smart woman, or rather, a self-righteous woman who thought she was right about everything. Although I had been joking around, I hadn't lied to her.

"Hehe," she suddenly laughed on my back when she heard my voice sound different. "What, scared? This isn't like you, Wang Hao. I was just teasing you." She sighed, her expression somewhat downcast, and said, "Maybe it's all fate. I guess we can't escape it. After all, we've all died once." I understood the meaning of her last sentence. Indeed, if it weren't for good luck in Qingxi, we probably would have died long ago.

"At the time, I was only physically paralyzed, but I was still conscious. I thought a lot and was terrified that I would really drown. But I never expected that you would save me in the end. I should thank you, but you, you bastard, forced yourself on me again. Yet, I also hate you."

I was about to speak when she suddenly reached out and covered my mouth, saying, "Let me finish... After you took me last night, I thought a lot. My whole life flashed before my eyes... I'm a competitive woman, and I believe you can see that. I used to always think about working hard before retirement, doing many wrong things at work for fame and fortune, and I wanted to enjoy myself properly after retirement. But if I had drowned yesterday, I probably would have nothing left. Now, thinking about it, some of the things I did in the past seem ridiculous. If you have no one left, what's the point of fame and fortune? Don't make any promises to me. You're still young, and I won't be the one to accompany you in the future. Of course, I won't refuse you either. Let our relationship develop freely like this. When you feel it's time to end it, I won't bother you." A strange feeling suddenly welled up in my heart. Aunt Xing's words didn't seem to be directed at me! Her tone carried endless hesitation and contradiction, as if she were talking to herself… Perhaps after experiencing a life-or-death situation, her understanding of life had changed.

"But you, Wang Hao, why aren't you satisfied with such a beautiful girl like Wang Qian? Why do you still want to fool around outside?" she asked casually.

If it weren't for this last question, I might have thought Aunt Xing had seen through life and death, becoming a high and mighty fairy again. But that last sentence made me realize that all her previous words were, in effect, defining our relationship and finding an excuse for herself. They say women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties, and her reaction just now clearly showed how much she craved it. Indeed, she was a strong woman, but even strong women are human. I didn't believe she had reached a point of detachment from life's desires. So I moved my hands inward a bit, then slipped them under her thighs, gently caressing and kneading her full, rounded thighs. The smooth, supple flesh encased in her casual pants still felt wonderfully soft and smooth to the touch. "Aunt Xing," I said, "young girls have their beauty, and mature women have their charm. Besides, you're at the most sexy and alluring age for a woman. How can you let me go? Didn't Aunt Xing just say that life is so fragile? Why not enjoy it to the fullest?" My hands slid down her plump, round buttocks, feeling the lubrication from her bottom.

I kneaded her hard through her clothes, and she suddenly opened her cherry-like mouth, silently panting and moaning against my back. She grabbed my arm, blushing and angry, and said, "You bastard, put me down! I want to walk!"

"Don't move, or I'll spank you!" I slapped her buttocks again, and her delicate body trembled violently, her soft cries turning into low moans.

I didn't put her down until we reached the vicinity of the forest ranger's hut, and we sat down to rest on a large rock. Although we had only walked a few miles, I was already panting heavily.

"You're so stubborn," Aunt Xing said, wiping the sweat from my forehead without any hesitation.

"It's alright, you can treat me tonight, consider it a token of appreciation for the soldiers."

"Don't even think about it," she glared at me, holding a string of fish as she walked towards the hut.

Hearing our voices, Zhang Xingzhu and Bai Jie rushed out of the hut, shouting, "Wang Hao, come with us! We just found some treasure on this mountain!"

"What treasure?" My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Master meant "good fortune" had arrived? Aunt Xing looked at them both with a puzzled expression.

We followed them through the dense forest. Along the way, Zhang Xingzhu explained that they had accidentally discovered a large pile of cow dung under a tree while gathering branches. Zhang Xingzhu had even accidentally sat on it, but to her surprise, she hadn't gotten dirty. That's when she realized something was amiss and quickly called Bai Jie over. They then discovered that it wasn't cow dung at all, but a creature growing on the ground, shaped like a large mushroom, with a thick, elastic skin like pigskin. Finally, the two of them understood—they had found a Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom).

"You said you found Ganoderma lucidum?" Aunt Xing was also full of surprise. Who would have thought that they could find a natural Ganoderma lucidum just by casually gathering firewood in the woods?

"I'm afraid it's not Ganoderma lucidum?" I shook my head and said, "The Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica records that there are six kinds of Ganoderma lucidum: purple, red, blue, yellow, white, and black. Their substrate is generally on trees and other plants, and they are rarely seen on the ground. Besides, the shape you just described doesn't match."

"If it's not Ganoderma lucidum, then what is it? This is so disappointing. We were so excited for nothing." Zhang Xingzhu was still a child at heart, and she immediately became depressed after hearing my words. "I thought I had struck it rich this time."

"I'm afraid this thing is more valuable than Ganoderma lucidum. Hehe, you can buy Ganoderma lucidum in the market, but you can't buy this even if you have money." I vaguely guessed that it might be what I was thinking, but I didn't dare to speculate before seeing the food. Perhaps it was just an ordinary fungus.

"What is it?" Sure enough, they all looked at me curiously. "

Let's wait until we see it. We can't say for sure now." I also kept them in suspense.

"Right here..." After turning past a few large trees, Zhang Xingzhu pointed to a brownish object under one of them.

I froze, staring blankly at the ground. Because it blended in with the soil, it was almost invisible unless you looked closely. The brownish-red skin was slightly cracked, about the size of a small washbasin, rising about ten centimeters above the ground, with a huge cap on top. No wonder Bai Jie and the others thought it was a Ganoderma lucidum.

"It really is Tai Sui," I stammered.

"What did you say?" The three of them looked at me in confusion.

"I said this is the legendary Tai Sui..." I replied, "This kind of thing is extremely rare, only seen once in a hundred years." In folk tradition, Tai Sui has always been regarded as a mysterious and unpredictable thing, possessing the power to control and influence people's fate in the dark. Ancient books say: "Tai Sui is like a ruler, the head of all gods, the master of all evil spirits, like a monarch ruling the world, not to be offended." According to the Records of the Grand Historian: Annals of Qin Shi Huang, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he ordered Xu Fu, a scholar from Shandong, to seek the elixir of immortality on the three mountains of Penglai, which was Tai Sui.

"You're saying this thing is called Tai Sui?" The three women had different expressions, but without exception, they were all skeptical. Most people had never even heard of such a thing in their lives, and they probably couldn't imagine that the saying "daring to mess with Tai Sui" referred to this very thing.

"How could that be? I always thought Tai Sui was a deity," Aunt Xing said.

"Hehe, it's just a deity, albeit one bestowed by humans. These things usually grow underground and are only dug up when people are building houses. The ancients held it in great awe, fearing to offend it and bring misfortune. To avoid offending the 'Tai Sui' deity, one must worship it during the New Year to pray for peace, good fortune, and protection from harm in the coming year."

I carefully examined the thing on the ground, touching it a few times. It was soft, slippery, and slightly damp. "The Compendium of Materia Medica once said that it's like meat juice. Do you have a knife? I'll cut it open and see."

Chapter 162
Without a knife, I poked it hard with a twig. A brownish liquid was visible inside, and through the opening, I could clearly see something resembling tender beef. The three of them gathered around, marveling at it. What surprised them even more was what happened next. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The two-finger-wide wound healed in less than a few minutes, as if nothing had ever happened.

"How is this possible?" Aunt Xing rubbed her eyes, looking at the Tai Sui on the ground in disbelief.

It was indeed amazing. I had only heard about it, but I never thought it was true. I told them some more rumors I had heard, which amazed the three women.

Seeing this Tai Sui, I naturally had the idea to dig it up. Because Tai Sui is said to have extremely strong vitality, I wasn't worried about it dying.

"Look around for something useful. I'm going to dig this Tai Sui out. It's a treasure that's only seen once in a hundred years." I looked up and said to the three women.

"Oh," they were also excited and got up to look around. Zhang Xingzhu suddenly realized and said, "I remember there's a rusty shovel behind the hut. We can use that to dig it up. You wait..." She said and hurriedly went back.

"Wang Hao, is it really as miraculous as you say? That it can cure all diseases? That's just superstition!" Aunt Xing was still somewhat skeptical, marveling at the reddish-brown object on the ground.

"Hehe, saying it can cure all diseases is a lie, but the miraculous properties of Tai Sui are real. Otherwise, Qin Shi Huang wouldn't have sent alchemists to seek it out. But it is indeed very magical. I once heard my master mention that he saw a Taoist priest who had preserved a piece of Tai Sui more than two fingers long, keeping it in water. At that time, there was an old Taoist priest in the temple who had a heart problem. My master diagnosed that he wouldn't live more than two months. But after boiling the Tai Sui and drinking it, the old Taoist priest's complexion improved, and he was even able to get out of bed and walk again..." Seeing their expressions as if they were listening to a divine book, I sighed and said, "Not everything can be explained by science, and not all rumors are superstition. Like what you just saw, what kind of creature has such a fast recovery ability?"

"That's true. If we hadn't seen this treasure, we probably wouldn't have known..." Bai Jie also sighed and said.

"Hehe, this can be considered fate." I nudged the Tai Sui with my hand, only to find that it wasn't buried very deep. Somewhat surprised, I used a branch to dig around it, and to my astonishment, I unearthed it!

"So easy?!" The two women stared in disbelief, utterly astonished that retrieving the Tai Sui was so effortless.

"It must be from the torrential rains on Baiyun Mountain that washed away the soil, causing the Tai Sui to surface..." I speculated in my mind, glancing up at the sky and becoming even more astonished. On the way here, preoccupied with the Tai Sui, I hadn't paid any attention to the mountain's terrain. Surrounded by other mountains, it didn't look particularly remarkable from our perspective; in fact, it was quite ordinary, almost unremarkable. But unexpectedly, from a different angle, the view was completely different: hundreds of feet away, towering cliffs formed a precipice that resembled a woman's face, while the lush forests on the cliff resembled a young girl's long hair. Two mountain ridges extended from either side, like the girl's arms, firmly embracing the valley. And just a few dozen feet away, two tall, jagged rocky hills resembled the girl's firm breasts.

This Tai Sui (a mythical creature) was precisely located not far from these breasts, right on the meridian line.

Before I could even think, a bad feeling crept into my head. Just then, Bai Jie lifted the Tai Sui completely, and "BOOM!!" A rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky, and the spot where the three of us were standing suddenly caved in. Before we could react, we all tumbled into the cracked crevice in the mountain. I quickly pulled Bai Jie up and pushed away the large rock that was about to hit her head. Aunt Xing had grabbed my clothes as she fell, so she was unharmed. We rolled down a sloping ramp, but it was too steep, and I fell to the ground before I could even get a foothold. Then, a large rock blocked the opening of the crevice, completely blocking the cave. Another rumble of thunder followed, and without a doubt, one rock after another completely blocked the way, cutting off all visibility inside the cave.

In fact, all of this happened in just a few seconds. When we came to our senses, all three of us were stunned. They clung to my clothes, one on each side, trembling all over. Although I was terrified, I knew that as a man, I couldn't panic at this moment, so I tried to ask in a calm tone, "Are you both alright?"

"We're fine!!" These past few days, having faced death repeatedly, had strengthened their resolve, and they breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing my words.

"Huh, why is there light here?" I looked in surprise into the depths of the crack, and saw a faint light not far away. It was barely noticeable unless you looked closely, as our eyes hadn't fully adjusted to the darkness.

"What's that?" Aunt Xing's voice trembled slightly; seeing light from several meters underground was a very strange thing in itself.

"Let's go take a look." I released their hands and groped my way forward, the two women following closely behind. The path was uneven, with stones occasionally scraping against our calves, making us tread carefully.

"Ah..." Bai Jie suddenly screamed, her body plummeting downwards. I reacted quickly, grabbing her clothes. "Hiss—" A large piece of her clothing was torn off, but this gave me a moment's relief. I leaned down and grabbed her wildly flailing arms.

"That scared me to death..." The three of us looked at the unknown depth of the crevice beside us, once again feeling the eeriness of this fissure.

"Be careful, hold my hand, let's go slowly." We walked towards the light in the distance again.

This time we were much more cautious. We carefully tested the ground ahead with our feet before placing our weight on it. Unexpectedly, the light, seemingly close, was actually a result of the darkness misleading our eyes. It took us five or six minutes to get close, partly due to our careful footing.

"Is this a cave, or...?" As we got closer, we realized the light was just a powdery substance emanating from the rocks. By this time, we had gradually adapted to the darkness, and although the light from the powder was faint, it was enough to see the path. We saw a narrow crevice extending deep into the mountain, but we didn't know its depth.

None of the three of us were reckless, so we didn't rush in, but we knew turning back would be pointless, as the large rock we'd just encountered weighed several hundred pounds, and we couldn't pry it up.

Just as I was about to speak, a rumbling sound came from above again, like a train passing by. We were all terrified, wondering what was happening up there this time. This time, the sound was much longer, lasting almost five minutes before subsiding. Just as we were filled with anxiety, we heard a loud crash on the path we'd come from, completely sealing off the small gap.

"A landslide has occurred up there!" I exclaimed, my face turning pale. This time, we probably wouldn't be able to get out. It must have been those two piles of rubble that slid down. I wondered if Zhang Xingzhu was in danger. I shared my theory with the two women, who remained silent. They had thought escaping the flood was a stroke of luck, but it seemed it was still a dead end.

The atmosphere became somewhat oppressive. I looked at the light emanating from the depths of the crevice, wondering if I should venture out; perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope. Just then, a question I'd never considered occurred to me: was there oxygen in this crevice? And the place we'd come from was already blocked. Could there be another exit deep within this crevice?

I immediately voiced my speculation. The two women's faces lit up again, but they were also somewhat worried. After all, the fear of the unknown is human nature, and no one could be certain what lay beyond the crevice.

"You two wait here, don't move. I'll go check..." I patted the two women and instructed them.

"Be careful," the two women looked at me with complicated expressions. "Okay, you guys stay here. Call me if anything unusual happens." I nodded and moved forward through the narrow crevice, barely wide enough for one person to pass sideways. Soon, the stone walls blocked my view, and I disappeared from Aunt

Xing's sight. The crevice grew smaller and smaller until finally, my body could barely squeeze through. However, thanks to the presence of the stone crystal powder, I could see clearly. I was already regretting my recklessness. It was clearly a fissure, which was why it was getting narrower and narrower. Now, turning back was difficult; the stone walls on either side were blocking my head, making it impossible to turn around.

Just as I was deciding whether to give up, the space suddenly opened up before me. Turning around one stone wall, the space actually widened. As I stood up, a sense of relief washed over me; just when I thought I'd reached a dead end, a new path opened up before me.

I followed the crack in the rock wall forward, walking for about twenty meters, when what truly astonished me occurred: I saw traces of human intervention in the rock face.

It turned out the crack had likely been caused by a sudden collapse of the mountain, and coincidentally, it connected to the cave in front of me.

The rock face was about thirty square meters in size, neatly hewn, with a raised platform beside it and a large pool in another corner. The entire rock face and the ground were covered in a faint glow from the stone crystal powder, creating an eerie atmosphere. The reflections in the water, rippled across the cave ceiling, making it even more strange.

"Is anyone there?" I asked coldly, my voice echoing through the empty cave. I waited a full half minute, but no one answered. I had no choice but to walk deeper into the cave. The further I went, the more astonished I became. There were over a dozen interconnected caves, all empty inside – quite strange. These caves were covered in luminous stone crystal powder. Just as

I was about to examine them closely, I heard faint calls from outside. It must have been Bai Jie and the others calling out worriedly because I hadn't come out for so long.

I quickly turned back. The return trip was much faster; I squeezed through in a few minutes. Seeing I was alright, the two women eagerly asked what it was like inside. I gave them a brief explanation, and they were stunned again. However, after hearing my advice, they realized waiting here wasn't a solution, so they followed me, slowly squeezing through the gap. Although they were somewhat prepared after my explanation, they were still taken aback by the sight before them. They hadn't expected such a hidden paradise to exist beneath this unassuming mountain.

"Could these be caves left from quarrying? Didn't they say that similar caves were discovered in Longyou before?" Aunt Xing speculated after looking around.

"Impossible," I shook my head and speculated, "If they were quarrying, they wouldn't need to dig out more than a dozen caves. Besides, these things have no exit except for the crevice we just came in through. How did they transport the stones out? Look at these stone walls, they've obviously been carefully polished. Quarrying doesn't require such fine processing of the stone walls." We circled these caves several times but found nothing

unusual. We were all puzzled by these caves that appeared out of nowhere, but we had no clue what to do. However, we were safe for the time being and felt a little relieved. At least we wouldn't die for now.

"Let's rest for a while." After half a day of turmoil, there was no immediate danger. The two women were exhausted, and their willpower had completely dissipated. They sat down on the smooth stone slabs.

"Have you noticed? These stone caves seem to have a constant temperature. I don't feel cold at all!" Aunt Xing exclaimed suddenly, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Yes!" We felt the mystery again. There wasn't a trace of coolness in these stone caves. Even sitting on the stone slabs, we didn't feel any coldness; instead, it was warm as jade. The stone caves were full of eeriness and incredulity. I secretly pondered the geographical location of these stone caves. The mountain we were on should be located downstream of Qingxi, and further down is Qinghe. These stone caves obviously didn't appear out of thin air; there must be some kind of mechanism, but we couldn't find it for the time being. I suddenly remembered Tai Sui. The scene I saw before falling into the crevice clearly appeared in my mind. I didn't expect that this inconspicuous little mountain would form the shape of "embracing the moon in one's arms." My master probably had never seen such a mountain shape in his entire life, but I had discovered it by chance, but unfortunately, it was only a fleeting glance. The "Study of Zodiac Signs" once said, "A place that embraces the moon is a blessed land, for heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang. Yin represents the shape of the moon." No wonder the mountain I saw resembled a woman; it seems this blessed land is for women, which also provides some explanation for Zhang Xingzhu's discovery of the Grand Duke Jupiter.
