Goudan followed Bai An around Cuiju's yard, but couldn't find Cuiju's room.

Bai An was also a little confused. She had only been to Cui Ju's room once, and it was still a little difficult to find it now.

"Do you know where Cui Ju's room is?" Da Zhuang followed Bai An around and finally couldn't help but say when he saw another high wall in front of him.

Bai An observed the unfamiliar surroundings and whispered, "I don't remember much."

Da Zhuang also looked up and looked around, and couldn't help but sighed: "I didn't know it before, but now that I see it, Cui Ju's house is so big."

Bai An nodded in approval.

A series of light and continuous footsteps came from not far away. Bai An began to panic and took Da Zhuang's hand and hid in the next house.

Da Zhuang opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai An who was standing in front of him, and asked softly what to do.

Bai An stretched out a finger and placed it in front of himself, indicating that Da Zhuang should be quiet for now.

Da Zhuang nodded quickly.

...

...

Bai An turned around and quietly looked out through the crack in the middle of the door.

He had no idea what was going on when he saw it, and was shocked when Bai An saw the situation outside and couldn't help but gasp.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing Bai An so surprised, Da Zhuang squeezed over curiously to see what was happening outside.

Da Zhuang couldn't help but gasp, and he stuttered a little, "Outside, outside, outside."

"I saw it." Bai An whispered to Da Zhuang, "Let's not talk for now, let's see what they are doing first."

"Brother, why don't parents let me go out?" Cui Ju shouted at Lin Zhixia in front of her, "They always let me stay at home and don't tell me anything."

Lin Zhixia leaned lazily against a tree trunk nearby, casually holding a piece of grass in his hand. The grass swayed in the wind in his hand.

"You won't go out if your parents tell you not to?" Lin Zhixia threw the things in her hand on the ground and said to Cui Ju, "If you want to go out, why don't you sneak out and go play with your good friend Bai An?"

Lin Zhixia smiled maliciously, "Do you think she will still be willing to play with you then?"

Bai An was suddenly frightened when her name was called. She saw Cui Ju looking at Lin Zhixia with confusion on her face.

"What are you talking about? My parents locked me in the room when they left. How can I get out? Besides, why doesn't Bai An play with me?"

"Bang, bang, bang." A dull knocking sound sounded behind Bai An.

Bai An looked over stiffly and saw Da Zhuang squatting on the ground, tapping the ground with his shoe in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Bai An really couldn't understand what Da Zhuang was doing in such an emergency situation!

Da Zhuang looked up at Bai An and whispered, "There's a stone in my shoe, and it's rubbing my foot."

"Why don't you just pour it out? Why are you knocking on the floor?"

"Yeah." Da Zhuang put his shoes back on and smiled innocently, "Why didn't I think of that just now?"

Lin Zhixia glanced towards where Bai An was.

Bai An was so scared that he quickly pulled Da Zhuang to find a place to hide.

"Why are you looking over there?" Cui Ju saw that Lin Zhixia's eyes were always looking at the room next to her, and she couldn't help but walk over there, "What's in that room?"

"Nothing." Lin Zhixia stopped Cui Ju from moving forward and said expressionlessly, "You should go back."

"I know." Aster walked outside reluctantly.

Lin Zhixia chuckled and slowly walked towards the room. Bai An in the room covered Dazhuang's mouth tightly, not daring to move, listening to Lin Zhixia's footsteps getting closer and closer to him.

"Squeak."

The door was opened.

Da Zhuang was also frightened this time, blinking his eyes frequently, and Bai An slowly shook his head.

"No one? Then I'm leaving."

With a "creak", the door was closed.

Bai An's whole body was stiff, and he shook his head vigorously at Da Zhuang who was about to stand up.

I don’t know how long it was before Bai An’s legs were sore from squatting.

A ghostly voice sounded from the center of the room.

"It turns out there's really no one in the room."

Da Zhuang looked at Bai An in shock, while Bai An was trembling all over, with cold sweat dripping down his cheeks.

It seems that Lin Zhixia is as despicable as she thought.

The door was closed with a creak again.

Bai An looked at Da Zhuang in front of her, wondering whether to go out, but she was afraid that Lin Zhixia had not gone out yet.

After an unknown amount of time, Da Zhuang pulled Bai An's clothes and shook them, mouthing, "Should we get up? My legs are sore."

Bai An hesitated for a moment and nodded.

When Bai An saw Lin Zhixia sitting on a stool, supporting her head and looking at him with a smile, Bai An's blood instantly rushed upwards and his entire face turned red.

"You guys are really patient. You hid for so long."

Lin Zhixia looked at Bai An's frightened expression and laughed, "You all saw it, right?"

Da Zhuang was also a little embarrassed now, scratching his head hard, as if he wanted to scratch something off. Lin Zhixia just looked at them, one scratching his scalp, the other looking at the floor, but no one looked at him.

He sighed helplessly, "I saw it, it's no big deal."

Upon hearing this, Bai An got angry. She puffed out her chest, walked in front of Lin Zhixia, and said loudly: "You knew before that your parents were liars. They lied to others about Cui Ju's disappearance, and then asked others to come to my house to search for things. You also knew all this, right?"

"You know everything, don't you?"

"Yes." Lin Zhixia's sudden admission caught Bai An off guard. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to start.

Lin Zhixia glanced coldly at Da Zhuang who was standing there in a daze, and said coldly: "Not only do I know, I believe most people in the village know."

"Just like the one next to you." Lin Zhixia pointed slowly at Dazhuang.

Da Zhuang waved his hands quickly and explained hastily: "I really didn't know Cui Ju was at home. My mother told me that Cui Ju was in a very safe place."

Bai An frowned, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"My mother didn't let me tell you." Da Zhuang lowered his head with some guilt.

At this time, Lin Zhixia slowly walked to Bai An's side and said softly: "Since you know Cui Ju is staying at home well, do you know why my mother hid Cui Ju but told others that she was lost, and even went to check your house."

"You lost a lot of things."

Bai An raised his head and looked quietly at Lin Zhixia's smiling face, but the words that came out of his mouth were so cold.
