After speaking, he even nodded emphatically and said, "It seems really quite formidable. Before, anyone from our village who wanted to go there never came back."
"Never came back, as in... they died?" Su Shu asked.
"Don't know. Anyway, they just never came back. When daylight came and they went to look for them there, they couldn't find anyone," Douzi said.
Listening to Douzi, Su Shu felt as if she were hearing a fantasy. Such strange and supernatural occurrences made her uncomfortable late at night, so she shifted the conversation away from the affairs of the mountain and didn't pay much attention to it.
Xiao'ai was still young and had just had her meal, so she couldn't eat much. Su Shu used a spoon to scrape off the fragrant outer layer and fed it to her, leaving the slightly astringent part for herself. Douzi laughed at the sight, saying his mother used to feed him the same way.
Su Shu said, then your mother must really love you. Douzi smiled simply and said nothing.
