Chapter 545 Grandmother Goat


    The journey in the desert was long and dreary.


    With the expertise of Mr. Pang, the travel group and the tourist team saved a great amount of time and


    effort.


    Soon, they reached the midpoint of the desert in the evening after travelling for two days and a night.


    It was deste and barren here. Only a vast ocean of sand could be seen.


    The sun would be setting soon and everyone decided to make a stop here.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    It happened that there was a dpidated building nearby, so everyone decided to stay overnight there


    to keep away from the cold.


    “I wonder how that man is. Has he gone back?”


    At this moment, Qin Ya sat by the bonfire and could not help but think of the man who saved her.


    “I don’t think so. He didn’t seem like that kind of person. On the contrary, he seemed very mature and


    steady,” Shen Mengxuemented.


    “Qin Ya, why do you keep thinking about him? Didn’t you say that you like Chen Hao? Could it be that


    because he looks like Chen Hao, you…”


    Shen Mengxue seemed to have noticed something and for some reason, she was unhappy about it.


    “Of course not! He saved us after all, so I’m just worried about him! Mengxue, you seem to be thinking


    a lot about him too,” Qin Ya could not help but tease her.


    “Well, he gave me the feeling that he is quite mature and I like mature boys. Plus, his eyes seemed to


    be filled with endless stories, which made him mysterious. My ideal boyfriend is definitely someone like


    him!”


    Shen Mengxue did not bother to hide her thoughts.


    “So, you’ve fallen for him?” Qin Ya asked with a strange feeling in her heart.


    “I don’t know either. Maybe I have. Anyway, I can''t stop thinking about him and I want to meet him


    again, I really do!”


    Shen Mengxue cupped her cheeks with her palms and stared nkly at the moon.


    Qin Ya got rid of her thoughts as well and stared at the night sky.


    She thought, I want to see him too, eagerly!


    Suddenly—


    “Qin Ya, Mengxue, what are you guys doing? Drink some warm water. It’s rather cold here after the sun


    sets!”


    Li Wanhao walked toward them.


    “I’m not thirsty!” Qin Ya shook her head.


    Of course, she was aware of Li Wanhao’s feelings for her.


    Although Li Wanhao had a temperament of a dandy, strictly speaking, he was not her type at all.


    On the other hand, he was willing to do anything for her.


    Due to that, Qin Ya felt even more guilty because she knew that the both of them would never be


    together.


    “Since you’re not doing anything anyway, why don’t we go over there and listen to Mr. Pang’s story? It’s


    quite scary,” Li Wanhao suggested.


    “Look, even Professor Yang is intrigued and went over to listen!”


    He pointed in that direction.


    Qin Ya and Shen Mengxue exchanged looks.


    They hade along as a reporter team and they needed to write a manuscript when they returned. If


    they could get some stories, perhaps they could derive some inspiration from that.


    At once, the two girls went over there.


    By the time they sat down, Mr. Pang was telling the legend of the Grandmother Goat with a serious


    face.


    He said that there was an old woman who lived in the desert who was half-human and half-ghost. Most


    importantly, she preyed on humans for their blood.


    The murder case not long ago might have been the act of Grandmother Goat. He guessed that she


    might have drunk all the blood of those people.


    It was said that she even had infinite strength and was imprable by bullets. Thus, no one could kill


    her. One would be doomed with death if they had met her.


    “Is it really that incredible? If such a thing exists in this world, it would have long been exposed!”


    Some did not believe the story; some were frightened by the tale and did not even dare to talk.


    “It’s truly incredible. Besides, I’ll tell you something that no one should ever say. Grandmother Goat


    really exists because I saw her once!” Mr. Pang suddenly spoke in a low voice.


    His sentence sent chills down everyone’s spine.


    Professor Yangughed as he said, “Mr. Pang likes to joke around. Don’t scare these children, will


    you?”


    “I’m not joking! I really saw her. When I was seven, I went to the desert with my father and saw her!”


    Mr. Pang was serious, and when he was speaking, his face was overtaken by fear.


    Professor Yang’s smile vanished. It seemed like Mr. Pang was telling the truth.


    “That day, the night had drawn and it was also around this hour. The sun had set and the sky became


    dark. My father and I pitched a tent for the night. There was a mountain stream beside the tent, so the


    both of us went to the stream to collect some water for tomorrow’s water source. Then, I saw her at the


    bank!!”


    Everyone stared with wide eyes at Mr. Pang.


    “She was bending down and drinking water. Under the moonlight, I couldn’t see her appearance


    clearly. But I remember vividly that her tongue was extremely long and her hair was let down. When we


    approached, our eyes met! Her eyes were beaming green! My father was stunned at that very moment


    and he shouted, ‘Nian, turn back and don’t look!’ My father and I turned back at once and kneeled at


    the moon, because he''s told me before that we must turn away, with our backs facing her, and never


    look back if we ever encountered Grandmother Goat.”


    “What happened next?” a tourist asked.


    “After that, she walked toward us. Her steps were as light as a feather. I could only hear rustles as her


    pace was very slow! ‘Nian! Nian! Turn back and don’t look!’ There was a voice that sounded like a baby


    goat from behind. It was Grandmother Goat mimicking a human’s voice.”


    “Then?” someone asked.


    “Then, there was a deadly silence. That night, my father and I kneeled for the whole night without


    making a sound!” Mr. Pang rted.


    The whole shabby building sank into silence.


    Especially the few girls. Cold sweat even seeped out of their forehead in fear.


    Rustle!


    At this moment, a faint rustle could clearly be heard from outside due to the silence.


    It sounded like someone was walking toward them.


    “Ah!” some girls could not suppress their fear and screamed.


    Meanwhile, that figure was getting nearer and nearer. Just when everyone tensed up, they saw a


    young man with a peaked cap walking in.


    “You scared us to death!!” the girls wailed desperately.


    “Sir, it’s you!” Shen Mengxue stood up in astonishment.


    It was none other than Chen Hao.


    “What a coincidence!” Chen Hao replied nonchntly without taking off his mask.


    “It’s indeed a coincidence! I was just thinking of you earlier!” Shen Mengxue smiled delightedly and


    blushed after she finished speaking.


    Qin Ya stood up as well, staring fixedly at Chen Hao’s eyes.


    Looking at this scene, Li Wanhao sneered immediately and said, “Hmph! What’s the matter? I bet you


    don’t have any ce to go and you’ve run out of water. That’s why you came running when you saw


    our carriage. Otherwise, you might die here. I thought you were bold and didn’t want our help!”


    “It’s just a coincidence!” Chen Hao rebutted indifferently.


    After that, he did not say anything and went to a corner to sit down.


    “Hey, where are Ming and Yuan? Why haven’t theye back?” suddenly, one of the tourists asked.


    “What? When did they go out?” Mr. Pang inquired.


    “It has been almost half an hour. They went out to capture some pictures!” someone replied.


    “I think we need to search for them. It’s too dangerous at night!” Mr. Pang said.


    He then led them out to search for the girls while shouting for them along the way.


    “Ah!!” At this moment, they heard the shrill screams of a few girls…
