"No, I haven't seen your sister-in-law yet today."

A woman from out of town has come to our house; she's a beautiful young woman. Go back and take a look. If you like her, how about we keep her as your wife?

The old lady smiled so broadly her eyes crinkled together. Just thinking about it made her happy.

"Mom, you're not lying to me, are you? How could an outsider come to our village? Where did they come from? Did they fall from the sky?" Wu Er didn't believe his mother's words at all; it was too impossible.

"It really did fall from the sky. Come on, you'll see when we get home."

The old woman smiled and pulled her son along, running all the way home, afraid that if they got back too late, Jian Ning would leave again. Although they had nowhere to go and couldn't leave the village, she was still worried about him.

When she got home and opened the door, the girl was still sitting on the stool, her eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. Hearing the door open, she suddenly looked over, her sharp gaze making the old lady's heart skip a beat.

This girl doesn't seem easy to deal with. I'm worried my son won't be able to control her. For a moment, I hesitated, unsure if my idea of ​​bringing the two of them together was the right one.

Wu Er stared dumbfounded at the beautiful girl before him, who looked like a fairy. He stood frozen at the doorway, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet.

"Auntie, is this your second son?"

Jian Ning looked at the burly man standing at the door, who resembled an iron pillar. He looked to be in his early twenties, but his body was truly robust, and he must have been at least 1.9 meters tall, almost level with the door frame.

"Yes, his name is Wu Er. Miss, feel free to ask him anything. I'll go out and get you something to eat."

The old woman nudged her mentally challenged son, and only then did he realize what was happening, his face turning red instantly.

She walked in hesitantly, sat down on a small stool, coughed twice, and cleared her throat: "Girl, my mother told me that you fell from the sky?"

"Not really, it was Xiao Wuyu's big white dog that led me in."

"Brother Wu, can you tell me if you found a way out when you went hunting in the mountains?"

Wu Er was taken aback, not expecting Jian Ning to ask this question right away.

After thinking for a long time, he scratched his head and said, "To be honest, our village is a dead end."

There are over two hundred households in the village, all of whom rely on the weather for their livelihood. No one knows exactly how they came to live here.

Fortunately, the weather here is favorable, and farming can provide enough food and drink for a family.

To get meat, you have to hunt wild animals in the mountains to the north. Many people have tried to get out of here, but none have succeeded. Some have even fallen into the swamp at the bottom of the cliff and never returned.

So, there's really nowhere to go out. Girl, don't bother with that.

"I don't believe it. You say this place is a dead zone, then how did I get here?"

There must be a way out. Think about it carefully, when you go hunting in the mountains or somewhere else...

"Has anything unusual been discovered?" Jian Ning didn't believe this place was a dead end.

"If you're asking about strange places, there really is one. I discovered it by accident and didn't tell anyone."

There's a big tree in those mountains over there that hasn't changed at all over the years; its leaves are always green, no matter the season. Isn't that amazing?

"Where is it? Would you mind showing me around?"

Jian Ning became interested as soon as she heard this. Even if it wasn't the way out, there must be some treasure there, otherwise how could the trees remain evergreen all year round?

“Okay, when do you want to go? Or should we leave now?” Wu Er completely forgot that he still had work to do and stood up to ask Jian Ning.

“Okay, let’s go now. Do you want to eat something first and wash your hands?” Jian Ning had already noticed the mud on Wu Er’s hands.

"Wait for me a moment, it'll be ready soon." Wu Er quickly ran out of the house to wash his hands.

Then he greeted his mother and led Jian Ning up the mountain.

The mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk on, but Wu Er walked as if he were on flat ground in his own backyard. Every now and then, he would look back to see if Jian Ning had followed.

Seeing that Jian Ning walked even more easily than he had, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Girl, you have impressive skills. If a white-collar worker were with you, it wouldn't be impossible to cross that mountain. You wouldn't have to come all the way here to find a way out."

“I came down from that high mountain,” Jian Ning said, glancing back at the towering peak.

She sighed. There was no way out from the mountaintop, and the winds were fierce everywhere. Unless she could temper her body to the point where she was impervious to the winds, she wouldn't have any chance of exploring the crevices in the cliffs.

She doesn't have that ability right now, so she should honestly think of another way.

Wu Er turned around and looked at Jian Ning in shock, completely giving up the idea of ​​marrying her. His mother really dared to dream. He didn't have the good fortune to have such a capable girl.

He obediently led the way, and we walked for a while until we reached the halfway point of the mountain. After going a short distance and rounding a cliff, we finally saw a large tree growing on the mountainside.

It was as thick as two or three people, with lush branches and leaves. The verdant greenery was a sight to behold, demonstrating the tree's vigorous vitality.

"We can only watch from here; we can't get through."

Before Wu Er could finish speaking, Jian Ning leaped up into the tree in a flash.

Even with a rope for support, Wu Er wouldn't dare cross such a distance. It seems he truly is highly skilled and daring.

As soon as Jian Ning climbed the tree, she sensed the fluctuations of the formation. Unfortunately, she wasn't very proficient in formations; she only knew the basics.

You only realize how little you know when you need it, and the same goes for formations. For example, right now, she only knows that there is a hidden formation here, but she doesn't know where it is hidden. At this moment, she misses Huang Fugui terribly.

However, this did not stump her. Since she could not break the formation, she simply walked in. She looked up at the sun in the sky, determined the direction, and took a step, landing directly on the Kan position.

Then he turned his body and stepped on the Xun position with his second foot.

The scenery before my eyes immediately changed. What was once just a solitary tree was now a primeval forest, with lush trees blocking out the sun.

Not only are they extremely tall, but they are also incredibly densely packed. It's clear that no one has set foot here for hundreds, or even thousands of years.

Wu Er outside was extremely anxious.

Jian Ning had just jumped onto the tree when, in the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace. How could a living person simply disappear into thin air in broad daylight?

He was anxious but couldn't get through, so he kept calling out, "Girl, are you alright? Answer me if you hear me."

But all that could be heard from the other side of the big tree was the rustling of leaves in the wind; Jian Ning's reply could not be heard at all.
