Some timid children were frightened to tears, but they could only cover their mouths and cry quietly, for fear of attracting the men in black robes to follow them.
Even Jiang Sui'an was so frightened that his legs weakened because there were faint blue flames behind those tombs, and there were gusts of cold wind blowing.
"I-should we go through... here..."
Bai Qingzhi asked stammering, her voice trembling.
"I dare not leave..."
"I don't dare either, I want to go home...wuwuwu."
"Woooooooo..."
One of the children cried, and the rest couldn't hold it in anymore. They sat down and cried loudly, shouting that they wanted to go home.
Even Jiang Sui'an couldn't hold it any longer. If he hadn't been holding Juanjuan, he would have wanted to sit on the ground and cry like other children.
"Stop crying! It's coming towards us!"
A little boy's face was pale, his whole body was stiff, and a chill ran through him from head to toe.
It was a faint blue will-o'-the-wisp, floating towards them.
The little carrot heads suddenly silenced their voices, and each of them seemed to have been strangled by the neck. Their hair stood on end, and the hairs all over their bodies stood on end.
"This, what is this..."
"There is a ghost, it's a ghost!"
Everyone hugged each other and trembled uncontrollably.
Juanjuan opened his big eyes and looked quietly at the faint blue flame floating over.
From her perspective, the mass graves were not eerily silent, but rather lively.
"Why are there so many little carrot heads? How come they look so gorgeous and rich in this barren mountain?" asked a sister whose face was covered in blood.
"I saw my little miss, my God, she has grown so big! How long have I been dead?" This was said by a very old grandma.
"Could they be caught? The last time I was here, I saw a basement. Those people caught many children and put bugs into their bodies." A man dressed as a farmer said.
"Don't worry about that. Have you ever felt that there is a little doll here that smells very good? It makes you feel good all over after taking a breath~"
There were about a hundred ghosts with miserable deaths and strange shapes floating over, trying to find the source of the fragrance.
The old grandma came over. Her lips were blue, her eyes were purple, and even her fingertips were glowing purple. She seemed to want to touch Bai Qingzhi with her hand, but it passed through her in an instant.
"Oh, the little lady has grown so big."
Seeing more and more ghosts coming around, Juan Juan tilted his head in confusion.
"Hello, Muds~"
This time, not only the ghosts were frightened, but these little carrot heads were also frightened!
"Who is she talking to?"
"I heard that babies can see things that we can't see." The boy who spoke swallowed, his heart beating as if it was about to come out of his throat.
The ghosts looked surprised, "This little doll can actually see us?"
"Is she Yin Yang? By the way, isn't she afraid?"
An unrecognizable man suddenly approached Juan Juan and made a face in front of her.
Juan Juan was not frightened, but instead grinned at him.
Behind them, in the forest they just walked through, there was a faint light of fire and the sound of men in black robes talking.
"They are chasing me, what should I do..."
Now being surrounded on all sides, with wolves in front and tigers behind, the little carrot heads have all experienced what despair means.
Juanjuan spoke to the group of watching ghosts, his soft and waxy voice sounding milky.
"Brother and sister, can the mud guys help the nests~"
The ghosts were well-received, and one by one they made way for them.
"Take your friends and go quickly, little guy, we will help you stop them."
"But we can't stop them for long. There is a path ahead. When you get to the path, go south. There are many officers and soldiers there, so they should be looking for you."
Juan Juan nodded and thanked politely, "Sister Crab Potpot~"
Then, she tugged on Jiang Sui'an's clothes and said, "Come on, guys~"
Jiang Sui'an believed in Juanjuan very much. When he heard this, he stood up and asked everyone to help each other move forward.
As there were more people, everyone was less scared. When passing by the densely packed cemeteries, everyone closed their eyes and chose not to look, and spent the time in the cemetery like this.
The man in black who was chasing him happened to see the back of Little Carrot Head. They ran after him, but as they ran, they realized something was wrong.
One scene occurs several times, as if they've been going around in circles.
"Brother, have we encountered a ghost and hit a wall?"
The man in black robe frowned, clasped his hands and bowed to the cemetery, "Seniors, we don't mean to offend, we are just passing by on business, and we hope it will be convenient for you seniors!"
The ghosts looked at the group of people as if they were watching a good show.
"Tsk, use children to do experiments, bah! They are a bunch of heartless people. When I think about my son having a son, I want to kill them!"
Many ghosts who had deep feelings felt the resonance and echoed.
"Don't let them go out, just trap them here so that they don't go out and harm other children."
The other ghosts nodded unanimously in approval of the proposal.
A burst of thick white mist appeared from nowhere, as if it was alive, and it opened its huge mouth to swallow the man in black robes.
The little carrot heads ran in panic for a long time, and they didn't dare to stop until they heard there was no sound behind them.
"Look!"
A little boy pointed at the thick white fog behind him and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately we walked fast, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get out."
"Why did it suddenly get so foggy? They can't catch up now."
The younger children were thankful that the white mist arrived in time, while the older children looked at Juan Juan with complicated eyes.
Jiang Yuesheng had mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that this little idiot actually had Yin Yang eyes.
According to the convention of novels, the person with Yin and Yang eyes is either the protagonist or an important supporting character, so she wants to draw this little idiot to her side, and maybe one day she will suddenly use it.
Juan Juan didn't know what others thought of her. She remembered what the ghosts told her. Going south on the path, she could meet officers and soldiers who were looking for them.
So Juanjuan pointed with her little hand and said in a sweet voice, "Go this way~"
Without saying a word, Jiang Sui'an stood up with her in his arms and walked in the direction Juan Juan pointed, but the children behind him were hesitant.
They could listen to Jiang Sui'an, because Jiang Sui'an was the young prince and opened the ventilation window to let them escape, but who knew whether this child was pointing randomly.
The forest is so big and it's night, so it would be bad if some venomous snakes and beasts come out.
Anyway, those bad guys were trapped in the heavy fog and couldn't get out for a while. They could definitely take a rest.
"How about we wait here first? It's too dark now and the beasts in the forest have come out. We can't go deeper."
