Where did sister-in-law go?

Bai Xinghua did escape after all. I never thought that book would scare her so much. It seems that the Da Wushan tribe is a very brutal one, otherwise she wouldn't be so afraid. It's hard to imagine that such an ancient and domineering tribe still exists in this era.

I couldn't help but feel sympathy for Bai Xinghua. Fortunately, it was just my prank this time. Otherwise, if the people from Da Wushan really came to catch her, I don't know what kind of tragic situation she would face.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt like I should do something about it. Yes, I have to catch up with her and tell her the truth. I want to find out more about Da Wushan's situation and if they really come after her, then I will definitely protect her.

So at that moment, I came out of hiding and ran towards the village entrance to catch up with Bai Xinghua and explain everything to her.

However, what surprised me was that although Bai Xinghua looked fragile, she walked very fast when she started moving. And most importantly, she thought someone was following her from behind on the road outside the village. So as soon as she left the village gate for a few steps on the main road outside it ,she turned directly onto a small mountain path before disappearing into a small forest.

This made me nervous because even though it was early spring season where trees had not yet grown leaves,the terrain of this small forest was complex with dense vines grasses making it difficult see through at first glance . Once someone entered inside,it would be difficult to find them again .

Therefore,I instinctively wanted to shout out Bai Xinghua's name when i saw how things were going.However,it happened that several people passed by near us at that moment,and seeing them made me hesitate calling out Bai Xinghua's name.

Although I had already decided to follow my own thoughts and not care about what others thought, I still had to consider Bai Xinghua's safety. At this point in time, if I shouted her name loudly throughout the forest,it would easily cause misunderstandings from others who might think we were doing something suspicious.

So at that moment, I could only pretend to be casual while using my energy to explore forward and enter the forest trying to find Bai Xinghua's figure.

I remember when Bai Xinghua left home she was wearing a light blue dress which was similar in color with the surrounding mountain forests making it a natural camouflage . So relying solely on my naked eyes,it was difficult for me to spot her in the woods.I could only rely on my energy detection.

Unfortunately, even when I used my energy to search, I found nothing. After entering the forest, Bai Xinghua disappeared like air and evaporated instantly. What happened? By this time, the people in our village had already gone far away. So I bravely started shouting around me: 'Sister-in-law, it's YiHeng! Where did you go?' 'Sister-in-law, come out quickly! The book is where I put it; don't worry!' 'Sister-in-law--' While shouting Bai Xinghua's name and running rapidly in the woods trying to find her shadow. But unfortunately, in the end, I was disappointed because I couldn't find her. Instead, at the exit of another part of the forest on a tree branch hung a dead frog with one leg which should be Zhu Qun's Sky Cover Gu that he had used before.

I didn't expect that Bai Xinghua would also use this Gu and even use it on me. After she entered into the woods earlier she probably came straight towards this exit then put down Sky Cover Gu before running directly away from there meaning she never really hid inside the woods so all along I was looking for her in wrong direction.

But it wasn't entirely my fault since Sky Cover Gu could block people's sight so naturally when she left through forest entrance/exit point without being seen by me then naturally i wouldn't think to look outside of forest for her.

So what do we do now? Since we can't find anyone anymore except for carrying that dead frog back while swaying listlessly.

I really made things worse instead of better as originally intended just by testing Bai Xinghua's reaction who knows if something happens to her after leaving will mean that i won't see her again?

At present my heart felt empty and desolate but after some time passed only then did i calm myself down saying: "No, she only said not to come find her within seven days. This means that she will come back after seven days. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said it like that." But just as I finished comforting myself, I immediately felt despair again: "If she really thought it was someone from the Great Witch Mountain who came to find her, then she definitely won't come back anymore. What is there for her to miss in this place?"

"No way! At least there's me here--"

"Oh my god, what am I in her heart? Not important at all." ...

I was distressed and my mood was uneasy and collapsing.

So I returned home in a daze, and it was just noon. My mother was cooking and when she saw my expression, she asked me what happened. Because I was worried about Bai Xinghua's situation, I threw the dead toad on the ground angrily and said to her, "Are you satisfied now?"

"This child has eaten explosives? What's wrong with you?" My mother looked at me puzzled.

"YiHeng, what happened?" My father also came out of the house upon hearing this.

"Bai Sister-in-law left." I took a deep breath and said.

"Left? Where did she go? What do you mean by that?" My parents were confused and didn't understand what I was talking about.

At this point, I calmed down a bit and couldn't help but ask my parents: "Do you know if there are any relatives of Bai Xinghua nearby? If she wants to visit relatives, where is the most likely place for her to go?"

"She is from another province. She can't possibly go back to her hometown. Yunnan is thousands of miles away from here," my mother frowned as she spoke. "She doesn't have any family members here either. If she wants to visit relatives, it would be related to Oil Pine Village. But there don't seem like many relatives over there."

"How come not? Doesn't he have an aunt?" My father interrupted my mother's words.

"Yes! Oil Pine Village does have an aunt who lives near Little Vegetable Garden area but they rarely interact," my mom continued speaking before asking me curiously: "YiHeng, why can't you speak clearly? Can you tell us exactly what happened?"

"It's nothing serious; it's just that Bai Xinghua isn't home so don't worry." As I spoke these words, I picked up the dead toad on the ground and threw it outside the wall. Then I pretended to be calm and walked into the house, but in reality, I kept thinking about Little Vegetable Garden. It was a village that I had heard of before and didn't know if Bai Xinghua went there or not. However, if she still hadn't returned after seven days, then I would definitely go there to find her.
