    Special Chapter·Yinyuan【Forty Three】

    “Let’s go!”

    “Let’s go!”

    The noisy team marched forward. When passing by the east wing, Li Xin crouched down and waited for the footsteps to recede away, then pressed herself against the window again.

    It was quiet.

    Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

    She touched the jade sign and sat on the edge of the bed. Just when she was about to lie down and rest, the familiar and noisy voices suddenly came back.

    She straightened up abruptly, not caring to put on her shoes, and rushed to the window.

    The four of them came back again carrying large and small bags.

    If something happened that prevented him from camping, Li Xin would still understand.

    But the expressions on their faces were the same as when they went out. If you listen carefully, they were even discussing where to set up camp.

    But this is not the wilderness, this is the inner courtyard of the old house.

    Li Xin just watched them keep going around in circles, going out, coming back, going out, coming back, as if they were puppets on a clockwork, mechanically repeating the same movements.

    Under the cold moonlight, their smiles seemed to be frozen on their faces, empty and stiff, like smiling masks attached to human skin.

    Li Xin clutched the jade token tightly and huddled in the corner.

    She started trying to call the system:

    “System, system, what exactly do I need to do?”

    She was really fed up with this weird world.

    The cold mechanical sound of the system remains the same as always:

    [The system is being upgraded, please wait]

    Li Xin wants to cry but has no tears:

    “You can give me a clear path. Let me know whether I am dead or alive.”

    [The system is being upgraded, please wait]

    Show no mercy.

    Li Xin reluctantly gave up the inquiry and took out her hand to send a message to Teng Ran.

    She didn’t dare to call him for fear that he was doing something important.

    Of course, she couldn’t wait for a reply now.

    Li Xin sighed, stood up from the ground dejectedly, walked back to the bed and sat down.

    Just take a nap and you’ll be fine when you wake up.

    ————

    Early next morning.

    Li Xin had no dreams all night, but she didn’t sleep very well. She always vaguely heard someone talking outside the house, and seemed to want to come in, but was blocked by something.

    When she opened her eyes, Tengran was not in the house.

    There was still no reply to the message sent to him on her mobile phone. She pressed her eyebrows with a headache, hesitated again and again, and dialed his number.

    Not in the service area.

    Li Xin called several times but couldn’t get through, and felt empty in her heart, filled with an unknown shadow.

    If Teng Ran wasn’t even here, she would really be just one person.

    Birds were chirping outside the house. Li Xin changed her clothes and pushed the door open. There was no one in the yard, but the sunlight was warm, making it peaceful and quiet.

    There was nothing weird about the night at all.

    She stood there for a long time, taking a few breaths of fresh air. Just as she was about to go back to the house, she heard the door to the west wing being pushed open.

    Hao Anan came out and greeted her refreshed:

    “Xinxin, why did you get up so early today? I didn’t even hear you get up.”

    Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly:

    “Maybe it’s because I move more lightly.”

    Hao Anan did not doubt that he was there, nodded, and moved his eyes down to her legs:

    “By the way, do your legs still hurt today?”

    Because Li Xin was wearing long pants, she didn’t know the extent of her wound’s recovery.

    Li Xin couldn’t figure out which day’s memory was in her head, so she said vaguely:

    “Much better.”

    Hao Anan breathed a sigh of relief:

    “That’s good. You fell so hard yesterday and everyone was worried.”

    …Sure enough.

    Li Xin pursed her lips, tried hard to hold back the discomfort in her heart, and said with a forced smile:

    “I’m fine.”
