Chapter 287 - 112 East Mountain_5
It was for this reason that at first, Ye Mingyu thought Jiang Li’s claim of knowing the way through the East Mountain Mine Path was just comforting words, but now, he had gradually come to believe that Jiang Li did indeed know the way around East Mountain.
It was unclear how much time had passed when the carriage stopped. Ye Mingyu called out from outside, "Jiang Li, we have arrived."
Jiang Li jumped down from the carriage.
East Mountain was located to the west of Tongxiang and was seldom visited on regular days. The mountain was not lush and tranquil like ordinary mountains; instead, it was desolate to the extreme. Occasionally, the cry of a crow would pierce through the sky, adding an extra layer of bleakness to the atmosphere.
Jiang Li looked up towards East Mountain.
What she saw was a bare, round-headed mountain, standing lonely beside a dried-up lake. The mountain was covered in bizarre rocks, giving it an odd shape, like the head of some monster, which was unsettling to the onlooker. Ye Mingyu had previously visited at night and couldn’t see the mountain clearly, but now in daylight, he too felt a chill down his spine. He intended to tell Jiang Li not to be afraid, but he saw Jiang Li staring straight at the peak, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing not a trace of fear, but rather a hint of joy.
Ye Mingyu suddenly felt he had nothing to say.
In fact, Jiang Li didn’t feel joy as such, but she did indeed feel a genuine sense of familiarity. When she had first come here with Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Huaiyuan wanted to investigate the history of East Mountain and had brought them along just to take a look at the entrance and had not gone inside the mountain.
