Su Ruanruan couldn't stand her constant nagging and finally had to stay.

He asked the driver to drive away first, and he was left at the headman's house.

After asking, Su Ruanruan learned that the lively, cheerful and hospitable lady Mu was called Wan'er. This time, she came alone with Mu Bai and did not bring any servants or maids.

Their lives are simple and rustic, just like an ordinary farm couple. Sometimes they go up the mountain together to pick fresh mushrooms and sweet and delicious wild fruits.

Sometimes, she would take the initiative to help the headman with some trivial housework. Su Ruanruan envied this plain but warm life.

She thought of the small courtyard in Qingshan County and the time she spent with Mu Bai and Bai Ruan.

How nice it would be if time could go back.

During the meal, the couple chatted and laughed happily. Mu Bai was even more attentive and considerate in picking up food for Wan'er, showing great care.

On the other hand, Su Ruanruan lowered her head silently, concentrating on eating the white rice in the bowl.

The good old days kept flashing through her mind. She thought she could let go of Mu Bai, but it turned out that she couldn't.

As night falls, everything is silent.

Su Ruanruan sat alone in the house, and could hear the whispers of the two people in the yard, snuggling together and reminiscing about the past.

Su Ruanruan covered her face with her hands, but tears flowed out like a dam breaking, flowing silently.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

These days, Wan'er and Su Ruanruan have traveled almost everywhere in Caixia Village. They have admired the colorful sunset and sunset glow together.

We have witnessed the beauty of flowers blooming all over the mountains, and stopped to watch children playing carefree in the clear river.

Mu Bai always followed Wan'er quietly, silently using his tall body to shield Wan'er from the scorching sun and considerately helping her drive away annoying mosquitoes.

......

That evening, Su Ruanruan climbed up a small hill alone, which was rarely visited by people.

She sat quietly on the soft grass, looking at the wisps of smoke rising from the foot of the mountain. At this moment, everything in the world seemed to be covered with a warm and peaceful filter.

"You look a bit like an old friend of mine." Suddenly, a deep and clear male voice came into Su Ruanruan's ears, which sounded extremely familiar.

Su Ruanruan turned her head slightly and glanced at the person who was talking beside her, then quickly retracted her gaze and responded softly, "There are many people in the world who look alike. I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person."

The man stared at Su Ruanruan closely, and after a moment of silence, he slowly sat down near her.

Su Ruanruan's eyes inadvertently fell on the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist. It was the string of Buddhist beads he was going to give her when they parted.

She looked away, raised her head to look at the ever-changing clouds in the distant sky, and asked calmly, "Who is the old friend you are talking about?"

He sighed deeply, a trace of loss in his eyes, "I haven't seen her for a long time, I wonder how she is doing now."

He turned his gaze to Su Ruanruan and asked with concern, "Madam seems to be a little sad, why?"

Su Ruanruan smiled slightly, but her smile was filled with bitterness that could not be concealed, "I lied. In fact, my husband disappeared a year ago."

"I went out this time to look for him. But the world is so vast that I can't find him..."

She stood up slowly, and the mountain breeze blew through her hair, bringing a slight coolness.

Suddenly, a drop of water slid down her cheek. Su Ruanruan looked up and found that it started to drizzle.

At this moment, she could no longer tell whether it was tears or rain.

Her throat was choked and her voice was hoarse, "The world is so big, I can't find him..." Tears poured out like a flood, blurring her vision.

Her red eyes stared at the man beside her, only to see him slowly stand up, his figure straight, revealing an elegant temperament unique to scholars.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of those sad memories." The man said softly, apologizing.

However, at this moment, Su Ruanruan unexpectedly had a pistol in her hand. She held the pistol tightly, her fingers trembling slightly due to nervousness, and shouted, "Who are you!"

Faced with the sudden change, the man was obviously a little surprised. He frowned and answered in confusion, "My name is Mu Bai..."

"Bang!" Accompanied by the deafening sound of gunfire, Su Ruanruan pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In an instant, a bullet flew out like lightning and hit the man's calf accurately.

The man let out a dull growl and stared at the pistol in Su Ruanruan's hand in astonishment. However, the next moment, the man quickly flipped his wrist, and an extremely sharp dagger shot out at an astonishing speed.

Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce her chest, Su Ruanruan did not dodge.

But something incredible happened. In an instant, the figure in front of her disappeared out of thin air, and the dagger that should have hit her was stuck alone on a big tree not far away.

This bizarre scene left him dumbfounded, "It's really a ghost!"

At this moment, he had no time to think about the reason. Behind him, Su Ruanruan's cold roar came again, "Who are you?! What did you do to Mu Bai?"

Faced with the questioning, the man's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sinister and cunning smile, as if he was quite surprised that his disguise was seen through.

He said coldly, "When did you realize that I wasn't the real Mu Bai? I've already dressed up perfectly..."

Su Ruanruan took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. "At first, I was almost fooled by you, but Mu Bai and I were inseparable day and night, and I was very familiar with his every move."

"So no matter how hard you try to imitate, you can't disguise those habits and movements."

"Who are you? Where is Mu Bai?!" Su Ruanruan roared.

She looked at the strange yet familiar face in front of her, and her voice trembled unconsciously.

After hearing this, the man suddenly threw his head back and laughed out loud. His laughter echoed in the air, making people's hair stand on end.

The laughter stopped, and he slowly spoke in his original voice, "Sister, I really underestimated you."
