Her clothes were dripping, yet Bai Zhi didn’t care. After all, it wasn’t cold in here at all.
After eating a peach, Bai Zhi climbed onto a rock and lay down. She hadn’t really looked around this place, besides the Stone Chamber nearby which was considered a treasure, this place seed to lead sowhere else.
But right now, Bai Zhi couldn’t stand up. She could only lay there and slowly recover.
She knew that people outside must be worried sick, but she didn’t know how to let them know she was okay.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the red string on her hand, which was a testant to her life-and-death bond with Moh Li. As long as it wasn’t broken, it ant he wasn’t dead.
Similarly, if Moh Li wasn’t dead, it ant she wasn’t dead either.
Sure enough, a few days later, when they were preparing to use the weapons for reception, the Ancestor spoke up.
"Do you think she isn’t dying fast enough? Do you not know what place that is? Isn’t Moh Li fine? We shouldn’t worry now, we should quickly find a way."
The noise gave him a headache. Actually, the Ancestor hadn’t slept for several nights, trying to co up with a solution to rescue Bai Zhi, and the constant tension finally made him explode.
The despairing crowd felt hope reignite. Yes, Moh Li was fine, which ant Xingxing was also fine.
This made things easier, they just needed to find a way to open it.
"We could use explosives with a bang..." The first to speak was Bai Xiang, who imdiately suggested using a cannon.
He always suggested the simplest thod.
"Then you’ll be crushed by falling debris, and in the end, gain nothing, losing one of you instead."
"Bai Xiang: "..." But they’ve tried everything, and it didn’t work. Maybe using explosives could succeed."
"What if it worked? We always have to try."
"What if it triggers an earthquake?" Bai Xiang continued, "If explosives could really solve that place, wouldn’t we have already tried? You think we’d put you in danger for nothing?"
Wu Wa thought for a long ti before speaking. "Then let’s dig a tunnel, that way we can definitely save Bai Zhi."
Wu Wa thought this was a good plan, not having to worry about causing the gate to collapse.
"That won’t work, the place is well-secured, every tile underfoot is made of gold."
Layer upon layer, how could one enter?
"Then what do we do?"
Bai Xiang and Wu Wa couldn’t think of a solution.
anwhile, Moh Li and Xu Yan kept pondering, and they went back to live in the small cabin. They wanted to take good care of the place, prepare the vegetable garden, and fatten up the pigs and chickens.
That way, when Xingxing got ho, they could give her a surprise.
But could she co back?
Bai Dan seed normal, working hard every day. In his free ti, he would look at the baby.
But he always forgot things, not knowing what he wanted to do.
He couldn’t collapse, nor could he allow himself to be sad, he needed to be strong, he needed to wait at ho, waiting for Xingxing to return.
Xingxing said she would definitely co back.
So Bai Dan couldn’t let himself feel unwell, nor could he find fault in everything.
He needed to do his daily tasks well, take care of himself, and wait for Xingxing’s return.
Bai Dan wasn’t without sorrow, and he certainly had a heart. He was in so much pain, he didn’t even want to swallow his food.
His Xingxing, his little Xingxing, now alone in a cave, what’s happened to her?
Without food, without water, how could she...
"Grandpa, you still need to take care of yourself. Bai Zhi and the others aren’t here, but I’m still here..."
The person speaking was Nan Xi, who, having seen sothing or the other, hastily said all she wanted to say,
"If you can’t speak properly, leave, who let you co, get out."
Hearing Nan Xi’s words, Bai Dan imdiately slapped her, thinking they shouldn’t have saved her.
Nan Xi had spoken everything, and they’d hypnotized her so she could live well, but she still hated Bai Zhi.
"I’m just stating the facts. I heard there’s nothing inside, no food, no water, what would the result be? It’s clear enough, isn’t it?
Grandpa, you’ve lost your granddaughter, you need to accept it."
Every word from Nan Xi made him want to throw her out imdiately.
"You get out, you get out, hurry and get out,"
Bai Dan pointed to the door and shouted at Nan Xi to leave.
"Grandpa, no matter how much you deny it, now your granddaughter is gone. Why not let , this granddaughter, spend New Year with you together,"
Upon hearing this, Bai Dan had no hesitation and kicked her imdiately.
Nan Xi fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Take her back and interrogate her properly, I feel there are so issues."
"Alright,"
As Nan Xi was being taken away, she was still screaming, yet Bai Dan remained unmoved.
Day by day passed, seeing that Moh Li’s red string hadn’t broken, it must an she was alive.
Bai Da and Ye Xiu only heard the news days later, they sohow had been busy all day, and today was just their first free day.
Bai Da stumbled to the gate, tears streaming down.
Bai Da looked at the gate, his tears were abundant. "Xingxing, how could you do this?"
How could she choose this way, never to et again, what should he do once he’d finished writing?
And Ye Xiu. Long since speechless, looking at this place. She wished these events had never happened.
Ye Xiu looked at the big door, also unable to do anything.
She never imagined Xingxing would be in danger. Because every ti, Xingxing always seed fine, showing her ability to take care of herself. Didn’t even need help.
But now they said they could never et again.
How was Ye Xiu supposed to accept this, when she was capable of everything?
Clearly Xingxing had visited her before, but now...
Just being told she’d never co back, how could she accept this, accept it?
She thought Xingxing could do everything, thought she was a little Superman, forgetting she was still just a child.
And Bai Da trembled as she walked away, feeling like she must find a solution.
As for Ye Xiu, she felt Xingxing really didn’t need her, didn’t need anything from her.
She seed so strong, strong beyond belief.
So she had ignored, so sotis she even said that Xingxing was truly over the top.
She realized Xingxing needed help from others too.
And she hadn’t done anything for Xingxing.
Moh Li and Xu Yan finished preparing the al. "Uncle, Auntie, it’s ti to eat."
They saw Xu Yan and Moh Li were trying other thods but couldn’t quite understand.
"Not eating, we have no appetite, why do you?"
Moh Li: "..."
...
At this mont, Bai Zhi finally began to feel much better, initially she was in unbearable pain.
