Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 870 The Legend of the Dark River 22

As Su Changhe listened to their conversation, he toyed with his finger-sized sword, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a flickering light.

"Master, what should we do now?" Mu Qingyang looked around but didn't see anything familiar.

Su Changhe is the highest-ranking person here, so naturally I should ask him.

"Brother, where exactly is this place?" Su Changli asked, his eyes full of doubt.

"I don't know, there's a house not far ahead, let's go check it out."

Although Su Changhe was answering them, he was actually looking at Su Muyu.

Su Muyu followed his gaze and said, "Well, that's the only way. Let's go take a look."

Mu Yumo, who hadn't said a word the whole time, kept her brows furrowed.

She felt that this place was completely unfamiliar, unlike where they were, which made her feel very uneasy.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, she called out to them, "Changhe, Brother Yu, be careful. This place feels very strange to me."

Su Muyu reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll go with Changhe, everything will be fine."

Su Changhe nodded and looked at everyone: "You all wait here, don't make any rash moves."

"You two go ahead," Xie Qidao and Su Zhe, the two older men, said voluntarily.

“That house is strange, and the ground here is strange too. The patriarch and the head of the Su family should be careful.”

Everyone else expressed their opinions.

The two nodded, finished explaining to everyone, and then walked straight towards the strange house a hundred meters away.

One hundred meters is not a long distance, and it can be covered quickly, especially for two people with excellent physical fitness who have practiced martial arts for many years.

Before long, Su Changhe and Su Muyu arrived in front of the house and stood in front of a carved door made of a strange material.

They could see the view inside the courtyard from outside the door.

The house is four stories high, with a three-dimensional outline, glass windows, and unusual wall colors.

The entire house, viewed from the front, is surrounded by vibrant flowers in the front garden, next to which is a flat, open lawn.

The door to the house was open, and there was a rocking chair in the yard that was still swaying slightly, so it seemed that someone was home.

Su Muyu had never seen such a strangely built house before, and she was filled with doubt and surprise.

Su Changhe looked at the house and yard in front of him, unusually silent, lost in thought.

After surveying the yard, the two saw a white cat run out of the house.

The next moment, shock filled their eyes.

Because they saw the cat open the door for them and even speak human language.

"The master is inside, please come in." After saying that, Xiao Qi walked inside.

After taking a couple of steps, he turned back to look at them, gesturing for them to follow.

Su Changhe and Su Muyu exchanged a glance, both feeling curious and wary of this strange place and strange animals.

"That's interesting, Su Muyu. Since they've invited us, let's go in and take a look," Su Changhe said with a smile.

They came here to find out what was going on, so this is perfect.

Su Muyu nodded and walked forward with him.

From the courtyard to the front door, there was a path paved with pebbles. As they walked, they kept an eye out for any dangers.

Xiao Qi didn't react to their actions.

It led the person inside, then darted to the sofa in the living room and jumped directly into its host's arms.

When it stepped on her, Li Chu cast a cleaning spell on its paws to prevent it from getting dirty.

Xiao Qi: "Host, remember to give me a chicken leg tonight!"

This is the reward the host gave him for opening the door and bringing people in.

Li Chu continued stroking the cat: "No problem."

"Excuse me for disturbing you, young lady. My name is Su Muyu, and this is my companion, Su Changhe. We are a group of people who have suddenly arrived here and are at a loss. May I ask your name, young lady? And could you please tell me where this place is?"

As soon as Su Muyu and her companion entered, they saw Li Chu petting the cat and didn't even look at them.

Seeing that Su Changhe was not speaking and seemed slightly quieter than usual today, he had no choice but to speak.

Actually, upon seeing Li Chu's clothes and everything unfamiliar in the house...

He felt a little uneasy, wondering where everyone had come from.

Upon hearing this, Li Chu finally looked up, her gaze casually sweeping over the two of them: "My name is Li Chu, and this is the outskirts of S City."

“S City?” Su Changhe imitated her strange pronunciation.

Su Muyu glanced at him. He knew Changhe well and felt that he was acting really strange today, with a peculiar focus on something.

Although S City sounds strange, that's not the most important thing right now.

But now was not the time to ask. He continued, "Miss Li, may I ask where exactly S City is located?"

"S City is in China, in Pumpkin Province. Where are you from?"

Speaking of which, Li Chu couldn't help but complain about the names of the countries, provinces, and cities in this world; they sounded like titles from some novel.

And it's quite bizarre, perhaps for the sake of easy memorization, as it includes the names of various vegetable provinces.

Upon hearing this, Su Changhe chuckled: "Pumpkin Province? Then is there a Radish Province too?"

Although they didn't know the specific meaning of the province, the two could understand it as a region.

Li Chu nodded: "You're right, there really is."

"Is your place named after a vegetable?"

"We're from here, so where did you come from?"

Su Muyu continued, "I wonder if you have ever heard of Bei Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chu showed no unusual expression and shook her head, saying, "I've never heard of it."

"What about the underground river?"

"An underground river? A subterranean river?"

The two were somewhat disappointed upon hearing this; it seemed she had never heard of it.

Su Muyu looked at Su Changhe, her eyes showing some hesitation.

They have now arrived in this unknown place, and they don't know what's going on. It seems inconvenient for them to go anywhere.

As it was getting dark outside, he wanted to ask if he could stay the night, but it was a woman's house, and it didn't seem appropriate for so many of them.

As for Su Changhe, although he didn't mind sleeping outdoors, so many people still needed to fill their stomachs.

Anyway, it's always good to ask.

"Miss Li, we have quite a few people here, including a few young ladies. Would you be able to stay here for the night?"

Li Chu readily agreed: "Sure."

There must have been a reason why these people were brought to her doorstep.

"Thank you very much, Miss Li. We've been nagging you."

Then, Su Changhe asked Su Muyu to pick up the person, and he sat down to talk to Li Chu.

Su Muyu glanced at him, then nodded and went out to pick up the person.

"Miss Li, is this the style of decoration and construction for all your houses?"

Su Changhe's gaze swept across the glass in the window, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and the shiny floor beneath his feet, his expression deep and thoughtful.
