Jiang Zhimei said, with an unquestionable command in her tone.

"I'm not going back." Rong Xi refused without hesitation. She was still thinking about the mission of the baby tower.

"What do you want to do if you don't go back? You're going to go to heaven. Jiang Rongxi, let me tell you, why did you suddenly come to Huaihua Town? You haven't explained it to me clearly yet. I just don't have time to care about you now. If you can't explain it to me when you go back, I'll beat you up."

Jiang Zhimei feigned anger and scolded, but her eyes revealed a hint of concern and doubt.

Rong Xi unconsciously reached out and touched her buttocks, and the scene of being whipped last time instantly emerged in her mind. She still remembered the burning and painful feeling.

"Auntie, I'm worried about you. Please let me go back with you so I can see how you handle cases and learn from you. I want to be an official in the future."

"Are you really not doing this for fun?" Jiang Zhimei stared at her doubtfully, her eyes seeming to see through her heart.

"Oh, no, no, really not. I'm really worried about you. At most, I'm just... I'm just worried about you."

Rong Xi made a solemn promise, his voice getting louder and louder, trying to prove his sincerity.

"That's all, just this once. If it happens again, I'll beat your ass to pieces."

Jiang Zhimei sighed helplessly. Although she was dissatisfied, she was also moved by Rong Xi's persistence.

"I know, I know."

Rong Xi felt as if she had been pardoned. A happy smile spread across her face and she ran out happily.

Jiang Zhimei kept looking in the direction she left, her thoughts involuntarily drifting back to last night.

At that time, everyone was exhausted. They had experienced a day and night of escape and fierce fighting in the mountains and forests. Their bodies and minds had reached their limits. Even she herself fell into a deep sleep in extreme sleepiness.

When he woke up again, he saw Rong Xi like a nimble black shadow, holding the bandit leader in his hand.

She handed the person to Jiang Zhimei and said in a hurried but confident tone that she would take everyone away.

Everyone was still confused and hadn't figured out the situation, so Rong Xi quickly explained that the bandits had been drugged by her and now was the perfect time to escape.

Not only that, Rong Xi also took advantage of the chaos to open the chains of other cells, allowing those poor people imprisoned in the dark to go home on their own. Then everyone hurried down the mountain overnight.

The experience of that night was like a thrilling dream, and it still keeps echoing in Jiang Zhimei's mind.

After Rong Xi left, she felt like she had forgotten something. She thought about it for a while but couldn't remember it, so she simply didn't continue.

.

Rong Xi returned to the room and looked up to see Song Yanyin sorting things out, with a hint of fatigue on her face.

She felt a trace of pity in her heart, so she quietly walked behind Song Yanyin, stretched out her arms, and gently wrapped them around his waist.

"Yin'er, take a break first."

When she came back, she looked at Song Yanyin carefully. She saw that he had obvious dark circles under his eyes, his face looked a little haggard, and his hair was a little messy. Anyone who saw him could guess that he must have not slept all night.

"My wife is back, you should take a rest too."

Song Yanyin was hugged so intimately by Rong Xi that a blush of embarrassment instantly appeared on her fair face.

He lowered his head slightly, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness in his eyes. After all, it was still daytime. If someone rashly came in and saw such an intimate scene, what would happen?

"Okay, then let's take a rest together." Rong Xi was calm, with a faint smile on his lips.

But since just now, Song Yanyin smelled a different fragrance lingering around Rong Xi.

The fragrance was elegant yet unique, completely different from the familiar scent she had in the past.

At first, he thought it was something Rong Xi had picked up from somewhere else, but as time went by, he could still clearly smell the faint fragrance floating in the air, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Wife, are you feeling unwell, or..."

The rest of the words got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back with difficulty. He really couldn't speak.

But then he thought that his wife might not understand much about this matter, so he mustered up the courage to ask.

When Rong Xi heard this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, as his parents-in-law had also asked the same question.

But when she calmed down and carefully felt her physical condition, she only felt a slight fever, and other than that, there was no other strange feeling.

"Why are you asking me this? Is there something strange about me?"

She opened her bright eyes and looked at Song Yanyin with confusion.

"My wife has a different scent. Perhaps it's the awakening of her faith. My wife should pay close attention."

Song Yanyin said seriously that when people first awaken their faith, their symptoms vary greatly, but most of them will experience physical weakness and even have a strong desire for men.

He thought to himself that he didn't want his wife to seek comfort from others. If Xinxiang really awakened, he hoped that he would be his wife's first man.

After listening to Song Yanyin's words, Rong Xi carefully felt his own feelings. He felt as if there was a warm air flow slowly flowing in his chest, bringing waves of heat. Perhaps it was just as he said.

However, her sixteenth birthday was still a dozen days away. According to common sense, Xinxiang's awakening should not happen at this moment, so she did not think about it anymore and buried this doubt deep in her heart for the time being.

After a day's rest, the sound of horse hooves and orderly footsteps came from outside, and the supporting officers and soldiers finally arrived.

Jiang Zhimei led her men without hesitation to capture the remnants of the bandits. For a moment, the scene was lively and tense.

Rong Xi took Qiu Shuang and walked towards the baby tower.

This place has been surrounded by ropes and wooden stakes by government officials, exuding a depressing atmosphere.

Outside the dilapidated tower, there are fragments of offerings left after worship.

"Girl, let's go back. This place is quite unlucky." Qiu Shuang couldn't help but shudder when she saw the scene in front of her.

There is no spiritual energy in this world. If Rong Xi wants to see the heroic spirits in it, he needs to buy props from the system.

As soon as the props were used, Rong Xi saw dots of white light surrounding the tower. Those lights flickered, as if they were trapped here and unable to escape, or they were confused and didn't know where to go, so they just wandered around in the same place.

"Qiushuang, wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

Qiu Shuang was full of worries. She looked at the eerie and terrifying baby tower in front of her. She had no idea what was going on inside, and her heart felt as heavy as if it were being pressed by a huge rock.

"If you must go in, please take this servant with you. If anything goes wrong, we can both take care of each other."
