Gu Jinan also woke up with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand what went wrong last night.

It seems that only by figuring out the identity of that woman can we understand what happened last night.

After packing up, he took Gu Changping to work. When he arrived, it was already very late and everyone else had already left with their things.

Jiang Qi came again today to cover for Jiang Rongxi. When he saw Gu Jinan coming, he left the door open for him.

"Gu Zhiqing, what happened?"

"Oh no, I just slept."

Gu Changping muttered quietly beside him, "How could he have slept at all? He couldn't be woken up even if I called him."

Jiang Qi: "You slept too much. Were you very tired yesterday? How come one or two of them slept too much and we couldn't wake them up?"

Gu Jinan paused with his hand holding the sickle. "Who else has slept with him?"

"My little Lihua, she followed my parents to the fields these past two days, and she must be tired. I couldn't wake her up this morning. I left without telling you, and you should leave soon too."

"Hey, okay."

After hearing what Jiang Qi said, Gu Jinan felt that the woman last night seemed quite similar to Jiang Qi.

.

After eating at home, Rong Xi went to the back mountain. She couldn't do the work in the fields, so she went to the back mountain to pick some herbs.

Most of the edible wild vegetables in the back mountain have been dug up, and even there are not many usable herbs left.

She remembered that when she was a child, her third brother took her into a forest where the vegetation was lush and there should be many herbs.

She walked over there following her memory.

Fortunately, I have lost a lot of weight during this period, otherwise I would have died of gas before I even reached this place.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and I had walked quite far. I was afraid it would be dangerous if it was too late, so I decided to go back.

Suddenly, he slipped on the dry leaves under his feet and rolled down.

The herbs collected in the backpack were scattered, and the small hoe fell halfway.

The system is scared to death [Rong Xi, how are you? ]

Rong Xi didn't have time to answer. She grabbed a not-too-thick tree and finally stopped.

After I took a recovery pill, the pain in my body subsided a lot.

"Where is this?"

System: "Rong Xi, you'd better go back quickly. You've come a long way. If you don't go back halfway, it will be dark."

Rong Xi originally wanted to go back, but the road became more and more familiar, especially the cave in front of him.

"System, I think I came here last night."

System [Here? How is it possible? Shouldn't this be Gu Jinan's home? ]

"I'm sure it's here."

Because she had seen the hay inside.

"System, please check if there is a snake inside."

The system didn't understand why it did this, but it did it anyway.

【In the past, there were no living creatures inside. 】

After hearing this, Rong Xi slowly walked in. If the snake skin was still there, then this should be where she came last night.

Sure enough, the snake skin hadn’t even changed in appearance since it was placed.

She asked the system again, "Are you sure the target of your mission this time is a person?"

System [Confirm...it. ]

Rong Xi understood, so this was not necessarily a person, but perhaps some other creature.

She wanted to see how big the snake skin was. It was almost as wide as her waist.

She picked up a stick from the ground and used it to pick it up.

"How big must this snake be to have such a long skin."

.

Gu Jinan, who was working in the field, stopped pulling weeds when Rong Xi touched the snake skin.

He quickly looked in the direction of the cave, which shouldn't be where anyone could find it.

He handed Gu Changping over to Li Qingqing, who was also an educated youth, and then left here quickly and headed towards the mountains.

He was very fast and arrived here not long after Rong Xi left the cave.

I didn't expect that someone could find such a secret location.

After he entered, he smelled a familiar fragrance. He was very sure that he had smelled this smell somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

The snake skin on the ground was obviously touched by someone, so he made seals with his hands and wanted to take the snake skin away.

But now his strength was minimal, and he could only maintain his human form and could not do anything else.

After he came out, he used his spiritual power to add a layer of protection to the cave, so that no one would discover it.

He followed the scent and soon found Rong Xi.

He was very curious as to why Jiang Rongxi knew about his cave.

He waited for her at the foot of the mountain on purpose, wanting to see what she had discovered.

No normal person would be scared when seeing such a big snake skin, but it seemed like she wasn't scared at all.

Rong Xi picked some herbs along the way and saw a piece of wild kiwi fruit that no one had picked. It took him half a day to pick a small basket and carried it on his back.

Adding the weight of her own body, she was now exhausted.

"Hey, Gu Zhiqing, why are you here?"

"I just happened to be passing by here."

Rong Xi had no doubts, she thought that Father Jiang had reassigned the location today.

As Rong Xi approached, Gu Jinan smelled a strange odor.

is blood! ?

The blood in Gu Jinan's body immediately became excited, and even the part that had finally calmed down changed immediately.

He had some difficulty breathing, and his eyes became increasingly cloudy as he looked at Rong Xi.

"Go, go quickly."

Rong Xi saw that he was about to fall and tried to help him, but he was thrown to the ground by him.

Gu Jinan realized that he had not controlled his strength well, and he wanted to help the person who had been pushed down by him.

But in this situation he didn't dare to get close at all.

I used up my last bit of sanity and strength and ran desperately to somewhere else. No matter where I ran to, the most important thing now was to leave.

Rong Xi fell to the ground with a puzzled look on his face.

"System, the target of the mission should be mentally normal."

System [Should... should. ]

He was really not sure, especially when Rong Xi was about to support him and was pushed out by him just now.

The system decided to watch the original plot again...

Rong Xi got up from the ground, put the kiwi fruit at the bottom, covered it with the collected herbs, and carried it back home.

Because it took a lot of time to go to that strange cave, it is almost dark now, and my family must be worried to death.

.

As expected, the house was in an uproar.

Liu Yanhong went to her mother's house and thought her sister-in-law had gone to work in the fields, so she ignored her.

When they came back, they found that no one had seen Rong Xi that day.

This made Jiang's father and mother very anxious. The child had been feeling unwell in the morning, so where could he go?

The brothers, together with several brothers from his second uncle's family, had prepared torches and were about to go look for someone, when they saw the courtyard gate being pushed open from the outside.

"Xiao Lihua, why didn't you tell your family where you were going? You're going to make your parents worry to death."

This is what the second brother Jiang Qianjin said. He was exhausted from working all day, and when he came back she was missing. He really wanted to beat her up.

Jiang Qianjin spoke to Jiang Rongxi in a fierce tone. It was the first time that Jiang's father and mother did not stand on Rongxi's side.

But Father Jiang still walked over, took the small backpack from her and put it on the ground.

When the cousins ​​saw that the man had returned, they left.

Jiang's mother also gave each of them some dried sweet potatoes to take away, at least she came to help.
