A male ghost with a missing arm said, "The yin energy here is heavy, and we really like to rest here, but we've lived here for so long and haven't encountered any wild boars."

"Well, okay then, but could you tell us if you encounter any wild boars?"

Mu Xiaoyi said, "We are working, please help us out."

"Oh, sure, I'll let you know if I see it."

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Dongfeng then left with Mu Xiaoyi.

As he walked, he said, "These ghosts all have marks on them. They must be queuing up in the underworld. I wonder if they'll be able to reincarnate soon."

"It should be possible, but it's okay if it's not. We can stay here. I see they're doing quite well in these mountains and haven't harmed anyone."

Mu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "It seems this mountain is a pretty good place to raise ghosts."

...

After everyone left, Xiaobaicai and Ahui rested under a big tree.

Because the weather is very cold in winter and it gets dark early, after the sun sets, they couldn't wait for everyone to come back, so they went to collect some dry branches to start a fire and keep warm.

"Ahui, be careful not to burn yourself, and also be careful not to burn the trees."

Xiao Baicai was picking up some edible wild vegetables on the ground when he saw Ahui standing very close to the fire because he was afraid of the cold, so he reminded him.

"Okay, I got it. By the way, why isn't everyone back yet? Did you find any edible wild vegetables?"

Ahui asked Xiaobaicai because he himself wasn't very good at distinguishing which wild vegetables were edible, so he left the task of picking wild vegetables to Xiaobaicai.

Little Cabbage nodded and said, "Yes, I picked some, but not many. I came here thinking I could eat meat tonight, so I didn't bring any other food. I'm really worried they won't be able to find any wild boar."

Ah Hui nodded in agreement, saying with the same concern, "Yes, that's what I'm afraid of too. If we can't find the wild boar, we won't even have dinner, let alone a midnight snack."

Since everyone hadn't returned after a long time, Xiaobaicai was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to find the wild boar.

Just as Xiaobaicai and Ahui were discussing things, they suddenly heard footsteps coming in their direction.

"Shh~ It sounds like someone's coming. Could it be Hidden Brother and the others returning?"

As soon as Xiaobaicai heard footsteps, he immediately became excited and even wanted to run to greet the person who came. However, before he could be excited for long, Ahui grabbed him and held him down.

Ah Hui covered Xiao Baicai's mouth with a serious and cautious expression, and then whispered to Xiao Baicai, "Shh~ wait a minute, these footsteps don't sound like Hidden Brother and his group, they sound like someone else's. Let's not go out yet."

As he spoke, Ahui stomped out the campfire and continued in a low voice, "I remember the footsteps of Hidden Brother and the others. It's not them. Let's hide first and see who comes first."

Upon hearing Ahui's words, Xiaobaicai became a little frightened. He nodded and gestured for Ahui to release his grip.

After Ahui understood what he meant and let him go, the little cabbage squatted down in the ground and turned into a very small seedling.

He also secretly said to Ahui, "Hurry up, you should change too."

Hearing the approaching footsteps, and then, following the reminder from Little Cabbage, Ahui transformed into a little gray mouse.

A little gray mouse and a little vegetable seedling squatted on the ground, pretending to be inanimate objects, and waited for the owner of the footsteps to arrive.

"Da da da da~"

The footsteps grew closer, and gradually, in the moonlight, the little gray mouse and the little seedling saw several figures approaching them.

The figures walked in a strange way; they walked very slowly and unsteadily, like young children who couldn't walk very well, swaying and staggering. But judging from their figures, they were all adults in height.

"Da da da da~"

There were four or five figures in total, and they quickly approached Xiaobaicai and the others. Ahui squatted down next to Xiaocai Miao and pressed his body tightly against Xiaobaicai. He was thinking that if they encountered danger later, he would immediately pick up Xiaobaicai and run away.

Fortunately, although those figures walked with a wobbly gait, they quickly passed by their spot and didn't notice the little gray mouse and the seedling on the ground.
