Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Chapter 473 Remember the Swarm of Snakes

Chapter 483: Chapter 473: Remember the Swarm of Snakes? Chapter 483: Chapter 473: Remember the Swarm of Snakes? “So, Grandpa Peng, what does this story have to do with the ten missing children and Li Banxia?” Zhang Dongke asked.

“It’s just a guess, why there were ten children missing, and half of them boys and girls. I’ve been restless, always feeling that the tragedy will repeat itself. After that accident back then, we endured years of calamity, a lot of people died, all sorts of deaths. There are always strange occurrences in the mountains, and the village nearly got completely destroyed. Having gone through so much hardship to this day, no one dares to be sure what’s up there in the mountains. We only know we shouldn’t enter recklessly, fearing that monsters might come out.”

“Are you worried, sir, that someone might stir up big trouble again, just like in the past?” Tang Zelin said.

Grandpa Peng nodded, “Exactly, life is not easy nowadays, already so tough. If we were to stir up a hornet’s nest again, would there still be a way out for the common folk?”

Wang Meng thought for a long time, “Grandpa, there’s something I can’t figure out.”

“Lad, ask away.”

“I remember there was an earthquake at Peng Mountain before, couldn’t such a big commotion have given any sign in the village, or after the earthquake, didn’t any strange things happen?”

Hearing Wang Meng’s words, the expressions on both Tang Zelin’s and Grandpa Peng’s faces changed slightly.

Were there any signs? Yes, people in the village often dream of their late loved ones coming to warn them.

Did any strange things happen? Yes, the spring in the mountains that was struck by lightning had disappeared.

This surprised Su Shu, and she confirmed again whether it was the same mountain spring that the villagers of Peng Village used to farm the Lake Rice?

After getting an affirmative from Grandpa Peng, Su Shu showed a look of regret on her face.

The miraculous mountain spring disappeared as mysteriously after the earthquake as it had appeared.

Su Shu thought of the Little Peach Tree in the space.

“Grandpa, is that peach grove still there?”

“That grove?”

“Yes, exactly, the one by the mountain spring.”

Grandpa Peng thought for a while and nodded, “If you mean that orchard, it should still be there, but ever since the spring water disappeared, that grove has withered. They probably all won’t survive.”

Su Shu was slightly shocked, all of those peach trees had died?

Then… did that affect the Little Peach Tree in her space?

Perhaps because she was so focused on her thoughts, she didn’t notice anything else. Tang Zelin gently nudged her at her side.

“Su Shu, Grandpa is asking you something.”

“Ah? Oh, what did you say, Grandpa?”

Grandpa Peng smiled slightly, “I was asking, why are you interested in that grove?”

Su Shu laughed, “Last time I came here, didn’t I taste the peaches from there? They were so delicious. It’s a shame to hear those trees may not survive.”

Grandpa Peng nodded in understanding, “It is indeed a shame.”

After chatting for most of the day, the night had grown deep. To conserve their energy, everyone found a place to sleep.

Su Shu lay beside Tang Zelin, her back against the man’s chest, which gave her a great sense of security.

In the darkness, she kept her eyes open, thinking.

After a while, Tang Zelin’s lips came close to her ear and he whispered, “Stop thinking about it, get some sleep. We still have to continue our journey tomorrow.”

“Hmm, I won’t think about it anymore.”

Though she said that, she still turned around and asked in Tang Zelin’s arms in a very soft voice.

“Do you think Grandpa’s story is true?”

“Whether it’s true or not, you shouldn’t overthink it. There are always various legends in old villages deep in the mountains.”

“I understand, just a bit curious.”

Tang Zelin thought for a moment and asked, “Are you thinking of that group of snakes we encountered in the woods that time?”
