Zhou Huijie looked up at his face for a moment, then forced a smile: "Yes, mother was confused, Shu'er is not dead."

Xie Jin stared at Zhou Huijie with a gloomy look in his eyes, which instantly relaxed. He said to Zhou Huijie gently, "Mother, I'll go first."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Zhou Huijie felt a sharp pain in her heart. She heard herself say with a smile: "Okay."

After Xie Jin walked away, Xie Jingrong walked in from the corner outside the door. Zhou Huijie collapsed on him and said incoherently: "What should I do? What should I do? Qin Zhi is going to ruin Jin'er!"

Xie Jingrong looked at the direction Xie Jin left and said in a deep voice: "He will figure it out sooner or later!"

Xie Jin brought more than ten people up the mountain. This time he prepared a large amount of food, enough to feed them for a whole month.

Xie Jin stayed on the mountain for a few days, and the sky went from clear when he left to dark clouds now.

The weather was not good. The clear sky that was sunny a second ago was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

Heavy rain poured down from the sky, and the big raindrops hit Xie Jin rapidly. The dull and loud thunder rumbled in his ears.

Xie Jin walked forward in silence.

When he came to the bottom of the cliff again, Xie Jin did not shout "Zhao Shu"'s name over and over again like before. He was very silent. He walked silently through every inch of land at the bottom of the cliff, silently looking for Zhao Shu.

His silence was not the product of calmness, but a dead silence.

Just like the red spider lily blooming at the end of hell, it has no sign of life.

Even though the guards were brave, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw Xie Jin in this state!

The rain curtain hit people's eyes like a waterfall. Xie Jin was surrounded by fog and couldn't see the road ahead. He followed the sound of rain that penetrated his ears and kept walking forward.

The rain curtain surrounded him, and the cliff bottom, which was apparently incredibly large, suddenly became small, until he was the only one there.

"Cousin Jin?" a hazy figure called out in front of him.

Xie Jin paused for a moment, then continued walking forward in the rain without stopping.

Xie Jin walked right past the unclear figure without even looking at it.

Zhao Shu, wearing a straw raincoat woven from dry grass and a large, wide hat tied tightly on her head, stood still.

Cousin Jin, what are you doing? Was it because of the heavy rain that he didn't recognize her?
Zhao Shu bit her lower lip unwillingly, looked at the figure in front of her, and trotted after it.

Zhao Shu grabbed the boy's sleeve and panted, "Cousin Jin, slow down, wait for me!"

Xie Jin continued walking forward without even turning his head. Zhao Shu pursed her lips, held his sleeve tightly, and followed him.

Zhao Shu didn’t know how long she had been following Xie Jin like this. She only knew that she was very tired and didn’t want to go forward anymore.

Zhao Shu used all her strength to stop Xie Jin.

Seeing that Xie Jin was still ignoring her, Zhao Shu's anger instantly surged to the top of her head. She hugged his arms tightly with both hands and refused to leave.

Xie Jin felt the warm touch on his arm, his face stiffened slightly, he raised his foot and slowly took two steps forward, then sighed helplessly, turned to look at Zhao Shu beside him and said: "I have something urgent to do now, can you come back another day?"

Zhao Shu looked up at him, her pale face showing the expression: What are you talking about? I don't understand.

Xie Jin's eyebrows were filled with helplessness, and he said in a half-hard and half-coaxing tone: "I'm not kidding you, I really have something important to do right now!"

Zhao Shu blushed and said hesitantly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I thought you were here to see me."

Xie Jin didn't expect the person in front of him to say this. Seeing her acting so cautiously, afraid of making him angry, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "I'm here to find you."

"what?!"

Zhao Shu was stunned, completely stunned.

Since you are here to find her, why?
Zhao Shu shrank her head and looked at him tentatively, "What will happen after you find me?"

Xie Jin: "I'll take you home." Zhao Shu swallowed and said, "That's it?"

Xie Jin: “No more.”

Zhao Shu turned her head slightly and looked to both sides: "So what are you going to do now?"

Xie Jin: "Looking for you!"

A cold wind occasionally blew in the heavy rain, and Zhao Shu suddenly got goose bumps all over her body. She walked closer and closer to Xie Jin with some fear, stammering, "I, I'm not here."

Xie Jin shook his head: "It's fake."

Zhao Shu subconsciously asked, "What's fake?"

For some reason, Xie Jin looked at her sadly: "You are fake, both before and now." Thinking of this, Xie Jin suddenly felt a sense of grievance: "You lied to me!"

Zhao Shu was completely confused. She didn't understand what he was saying at all. Did he come up the mountain after drinking?

Zhao Shu raised her hand and waved it in front of him: "Cousin Jin, do you know where this is? Do you recognize who I am?"

Xie Jin looked at her inexplicably, but still nodded: "Bottom of the cliff, Zhao Shu."

Hearing his answer that there was no problem, Zhao Shu thought to herself: There is nothing wrong, then why... No, it couldn't be a ghost.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but why did she feel a chilly wind blowing around her? !
Zhao Shu no longer hesitated and immediately grabbed Xie Jin's hand, wanting to pull him away to escape from this hair-raising hellish place.

Zhao Shu pulled his sleeve and was about to run forward, but Xie Jin was like a bell. The old monk stood still and Zhao Shu's hand slipped from his sleeve.

Zhao Shu had no choice but to go around behind him and push his back forward, but she couldn't move him after pushing for a long time. She stomped her feet in annoyance and walked up to him with a desperate look.

"Are you going to leave or not?"

Xie Jin glanced at her and turned away.

Seeing Xie Jin's stubborn look, Zhao Shu felt like a balloon filled with air, which would burst if poked by a needle!
Zhao Shu took a deep breath and shouted, "Xie Jin, are you leaving or not?"

This time, Xie Jin didn't even glance at her!

Zhao Shu laughed in anger. Good! Very good! He will wait to meet the wild ghost in this deep mountain forest! She doesn't care!
Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin's back and sneered. Whoever wants to care can care, she won't care anyway!

In this situation, Zhao Shu had forgotten whether she was afraid or not, and was left with only anger in her heart and eyes.

She was walking angrily in the opposite direction of Xie Jin. As she walked, something suddenly flashed through her mind. Her steps gradually slowed down. After a while, she turned around quickly and chased after Xie Jin.

Zhao Shu really felt that she was extremely unlucky. She wore a thick straw raincoat and a heavy hat, and foolishly ran around in the mountains in the heavy rain. If she was accidentally seen by passers-by, they might be scared and think they had seen a monster from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio!
Zhao Shu stopped running after running for a distance. She took off the hat on her head and threw it hard towards the person in front of her.

The hat hit the boy's straight back. Xie Jin paused, then bent down and picked up the hat that was stained with mud and rain on the ground. Then he shook off the water on it, wiped the mud off with his wet sleeve, and put it on his head.

Zhao Shu kicked the tree trunk next to her and ran towards Xie Jin.

Zhao Shu grabbed Xie Jin's arm, stood on tiptoe to take off the bamboo hat on his head, looked at him word by word and said, "Mine!"

Xie Jin didn't say anything. He just looked at her and continued to look forward.
