Chapter 529 - 529 Kunyu Mountain
529 Kunyu Mountain
Three hours later, they arrived at Yunbei province, Kunyu City.
The Yin family really knew how to find a place to live in seclusion. There were so many good places to live in, but they chose to live in seclusion on Kunyu Mountain. Although this was a provincial city, the place was very backward. Moreover, the population was very small. The geographical location was in the basin, and the climate was generally low. There was almost no summer all year round.
It was said that this mountain was an active volcano and there was a natural hot spring here. However, the location of the spring was very tricky. It was in the deepest part of the mountain and was also the most dangerous place. Not only were there wild beasts, but there were also poisonous insects that were impossible to stay away from. Because of these harsh conditions, almost no one dared to enter Kunyu Mountain.
This also gave the Yin family room to grow. After all, they were evil cultivators who did all kinds of evil. This was also one of the reasons why they hid in the mountains.
Another reason was that they were known for their sorcery. They were also the target of many righteous sects. Even the nation had carried out many assassinations on them.
Therefore, the Yin family had no choice but to live in the mountains.
Qin Xi was quite glad that the Yin family lived in seclusion in the deep mountain. After all, her goal this time was to kill them.
If they lived in the city, killing them would definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. In the depths of the mountain, even if they were wiped out, no one would know.
Qin Xi and Han Shi pretended to be a jaunting couple and lingered around Kunyu Mountain. A kind-hearted auntie who lived at the foot of the mountain saw that they were unfamiliar and reminded them kindly.
“Young lady, young man, you’re not local, right?”
Seeing the firewood on the auntie’s back, Qin Xi said with a smile, “That’s right. Auntie, did you go up the mountain to chop firewood?”
The auntie’s family background should not be very good. The clothes she was wearing were all patched up. She was worse off than the villagers in Shangwan Village. After all, in the past six months, every family in Shangwan Village had been well-fed and well-dressed.
The auntie put down the firewood she was carrying. Worry flashed across her wrinkled face as she advised, “Little girl, you can’t stay on the mountain, especially at night. You’d better go down the mountain quickly.”
Qin Xi pretended to be interested and asked, “Auntie, the scenery is quite beautiful. I also heard that this is an active volcano, so I wanted to come up the mountain to take a look.”
It was late December, almost New Year’s Day. Although the mountains were covered with snow, the pine trees that were resistant to the cold were still green. This was also why Qin Xi said that the scenery was beautiful.
“Young lady, listen to my advice. There are many large wild beasts in the mountains. By the way, there are also wolves. At night, you can hear the wolves howling. It’s very scary.” A trace of fear flashed across the auntie’s eyes.
“Thank you, Auntie. Then we won’t go deeper. We’ll just stay here and play for a while. We’ll leave later.” Qin Xi knew that the auntie was being nice.
The auntie nodded and smiled. “Go back at dawn. The temperature here is low at night. The clothes you’re wearing are definitely not enough…”
Qin Xi nodded with a smile. After chatting for a while, the auntie carried the firewood and walked down the mountain with difficulty.
“I just read this auntie’s face. She has a hard life.” Qin Xi looked at the auntie’s back and sighed.
Han Shi raised his eyebrows and held her hand. He asked, “What do you mean?”
“She was the only one left in the family of five. Her husband, two children, and a daughter all died. Not only that, but if we hadn’t come, she probably wouldn’t have lived long.”
Han Shi immediately understood what she meant. His eyes darkened. “You mean the Yin family did it?”
