Chapter 13: The Mystery of Jiulong Lake

Zhang Xiaofan took out a basin and a towel, washed his face beside the ancient well. Then he took out the prepared torch and pine tree trunks, and carried two bags. It seemed that he was going out in the middle of the night.

When he entered the room, Shu Wan'er, the woman, had drunk a lot. It seemed that she had really fallen in love with Zhang Xiaofan and developed a sense of dependence. She had completely let down her guard and was sleeping soundly, thinking that with Zhang Xiaofan protecting her, she would be safe.

The woman was wearing a pair of cyan jeans, which showed off her curvy figure. Her beautiful legs were extremely slender and round. She was wearing a white collared shirt, and even when she was lying flat, her chest was as prominent as two towering mountains facing each other.

During the day in the jungle, Zhang Xiaofan had already felt the grandeur of it. He knew exactly how magnificent it was. Anyway, his palm couldn't cover it all, and this woman had extremely fair skin, tender and white.

Looking at her, Zhang Xiaofan felt a reaction in his lower body immediately. He quickly pressed his pants with his hand, ran over and took off the woman's shoes. When taking off her shoes, he couldn't help but greedily pinch her ankles a few times.

Taking advantage of the woman not noticing, he played a little trick. He pressed his palm on the two "mountains" of the woman. Indeed, one palm couldn't cover one of them, and he didn't want to let go of that feeling. With this woman's figure, one could never get tired of it even if they played with it for a lifetime.

He let out a sigh, pulled over the quilt to cover the woman properly, and then went out. After all, in the mountains, even in the hot summer, it was still a bit chilly at night.

"Xiaofan, it's so late, and you've drunk so much. Where are you going?"

Li Xiu'e, who was washing dishes beside the ancient well, suddenly looked up and asked with some concern.

Zhang Xiaofan looked over and thought that truly a girl changes eighteen times as she grows up. Li Xiu'e, whom he hadn't seen for eight years, had a plump figure and a pretty face. Every part of her exuded a mature charm. Due to the fact that she had been someone's wife, she had the charm of a mature married woman, which was extremely attractive to a young and energetic man like him.

Li Xiu'e was really delicate and full of vitality all over her body, as if she was made of water. No wonder she was the village beauty of Jiulong Village.

Jiulong Village was originally a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The children born and raised here were all very good-looking. This woman, without any makeup, could be considered a top-notch beauty even outside the village. Any man would have the urge to possess her.

No wonder a beautiful woman can be a curse. Outside, other men wanted to possess her, which led to the death of her husband, Brother Zhang Liang.

Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva and was momentarily stunned. When she was young, she was already delicate and full of vitality, and now that she was mature, she was even more beautiful. Moreover, she didn't have a husband anymore. Some dirty thoughts couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

"Damn it! Zhang Xiaofan, Zhang Xiaofan, are you still a human being? This is your sister-in-law."

Zhang Xiaofan cursed himself in his heart, and then forced a smile on his face:

"I found some pine trunks in the pine forest during the day. I'm going to Jiulong Lake to catch some stone frogs and sell them in the town outside."

When Li Xiu'e heard the name Jiulong Lake, her face changed. She was even more worried when she heard that he was going there to catch stone frogs at night and said:

"Xiaofan, you've been drinking, so don't go there. It's also very late. You can go to the mountain stream to catch them tomorrow. There are some there too."

"No, there's still half of the wolf meat left. I just want to catch some more, and then carry them to Qingyang Town to sell them together tomorrow. There aren't many in the mountain stream. There are more in Jiulong Lake."

Zhang Xiaofan rejected her suggestion. Having grown up here since childhood, both of them knew very well how mysterious Jiulong Lake was.

Jiulong Lake was a lake located between the heads of nine mountain ranges, forming a situation of "nine dragons seizing the pearl". In terms of feng shui, Jiulong Lake was a treasured place.

However, precisely because of this, there were also various strange legends about Jiulong Lake. Especially on the night of the full moon, the water in Jiulong Lake would boil like boiling water and boil automatically.

The villagers also said that there were water ghosts in it, and some people said that the Dragon King lived in it. There were all kinds of opinions. During the day, it was a very beautiful scenic spot, but at night, it became a forbidden area for humans.

"All right, if you want to go, you can. I'll go with you. We can watch out for each other in case something happens."

Li Xiu'e wiped her apron with her hand, stood up from beside the ancient well, and seemed to want to go with him.

Looking at Li Xiu'e, with her plump and full figure, exuding an infinite mature charm, perhaps because of the alcohol he had drunk, Zhang Xiaofan felt his body getting hot and his heart pounding. Taking his sister-in-law, a man and a woman alone at night, to the lakeside...

Zhang Xiaofan's mind immediately started to wander, and without thinking, he blurted out: "All right!"

In fact, Zhang Xiaofan still had some feelings for Li Xiu'e. After all, she was the woman he had secretly loved when he was a child. When he came back and found that she had become his sister-in-law, there was still a trace of sadness in his heart.

When he found out that his Brother Zhang Liang had died, he didn't know what to think. He felt a bit sorry for Li Xiu'e, and at the same time, he was隐隐约约 a little happy because this gave him a chance to get the woman he had dreamed of and secretly loved when he was a child.

Everyone has evil thoughts. Not everyone is a saint. When the old Taoist priest saw Zhang Xiaofan for the first time, he scolded him for not being a good person, as if he had seen through his true nature.

Hearing that Zhang Xiaofan agreed, although Li Xiu'e was going to that terrifying place with him, she still showed a happy smile on her face. She immediately ran to Zhang Xiaofan's side and walked behind him. When the breeze blew, she smelled the familiar masculine scent on Zhang Xiaofan, and her heart began to flutter.

"Sister Xiu'e, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay in the village or remarry and leave?"

It was a bit awkward for the two of them to walk without talking. Looking at Li Xiu'e's plump figure, swaying with each step, those two "big millstones" looked really nice when they swayed. This was the woman he had taken a fancy to when he was a child. It was a pity that his cousin had possessed her. If she were to sit on a man's body and sway, wouldn't those two "big millstones" suck the man dry?

However, with Li Xiu'e's conditions, according to Wang Ergou, there were many big bosses outside who were coveting Li Xiu'e's beauty. Some even crossed mountains and ridges to look for her. As long as Li Xiu'e was willing to marry them, giving cars and villas would be a piece of cake.

If it were another woman, she would have already run out.

Li Xiu'e unconsciously walked in front. When she heard Zhang Xiaofan's words, she suddenly stopped, her beautiful eyes looking at Zhang Xiaofan's face. Her face turned a bit red and there was also a trace of bitterness:

"No, I plan to stay in Jiulong Village for the rest of my life and won't remarry. After all, your Brother Zhang Liang was beaten to death outside while trying to save me. I want to take care of his mother for him."

Hearing Zhang Xiaofan call her Sister Xiu'e when there was no one around, she seemed to be very happy in her heart.

"But you're so beautiful. Any man who sees you will want to possess you. Luckily, I ran into you in time yesterday, or you would have been defiled by Wang Ergou. It's not just Wang Ergou who has his eyes on you. Aren't you afraid? After all, you don't have a husband, and everyone will have illusions."

Zhang Xiaofan really wanted to add that in fact, I also want to have my eyes on you...
