Jing Xiaojing asked in confusion, and glanced at the black TV screen. How could there be words on it?
"I was just kidding! I didn't expect you weren't scared. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow." Ling Xiaoxiao pushed Jing Xiaojing back to her room and closed the door.
The moment she turned around, Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes became sharp. She stared at the line of words. Xiao Jing couldn't see it, which meant that only she could see it, but there was nothing there except the words.
Is this a reminder or a warning?
In fact, the reason why Ling Xiaoxiao was able to remain so calm was that such words often appeared in her mind when she was young, either suddenly appearing in books or on the blackboard.
Some were reminders, some were warnings, but after she grew up, such reminders never appeared again. Just when she was about to forget, they suddenly appeared again?
She was told not to go up the mountain. What was hidden on Yunding Mountain? But since she was already here, how could she not go up and take a look? And Ling Xiaoxiao's rebellious psychology kicked in. If you don't let me go, then I will go up anyway!
At night, in Ling Xiaoxiao's dream, all she saw was a white land with heavy snow falling from the sky. She kept walking forward, calling someone's name, but the only answer she got was the echo of the valley.
"Even so, are you going up the mountain tomorrow?" an ethereal female voice sounded.
"Who are you?" Ling Xiaoxiao stopped. The heavy snow disappeared, but everything was still white.
"I can't tell you. You have already seen the scene after you go up tomorrow. Do you still want to continue going? You can see the snow scenery everywhere. Why do you have to go to Genting Mountain?" The female voice asked in confusion.
"Originally I didn't really want to go, but after hearing you say that, I'm actually looking forward to what I'll see tomorrow. Humans all have this rebellious nature." Ling Xiaoxiao didn't feel anyone around, so she could only look around and speak to the air.
"Humans are really weird..." The ethereal voice disappeared.
Ling Xiaoxiao opened her eyes instantly. It was already eight o'clock in the morning. She rubbed her aching head. Last night's dream was still vivid in her mind. Who was the person who was talking?
"Xiaoxiao, are you up? Let's go have breakfast!" Jing Xiaojing knocked on Ling Xiaoxiao's door outside. He knew that Xiaoxiao liked to stay in bed, and he didn't know if she was up now?
"Get up!" Ling Xiaoxiao got up, opened the door for her, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Breakfast was eaten at the hotel. In the morning, Chen Jue specifically asked the kitchen to make chestnut cake and millet porridge. City S is rich in chestnuts and millet. If it weren't for the snow in the mountains, many people would go to the mountains to pick chestnuts.
"This is made of local chestnuts. Try it and see how it differs from the ones in City A." Chen Jue picked up a piece of chestnut cake and put it into Ling Xiaoxiao's bowl.
The chestnut cake just out of the pot is still steaming. You can smell the strong chestnut aroma when you look down. You feel like you are surrounded by chestnuts before you even eat it!
Ling Xiaoxiao took a bite without hesitation. The soft, sweet and delicious taste was so addictive!
"This is so delicious, isn't it?" Jing Xiaojing exclaimed first. She also loved eating chestnuts, but the chestnut cakes in City A were indeed different from those here! She didn't know if it was because they were shipped to the local area, but even if they were shipped to City A, they would still taste different!
Just at this moment Jing Xiaojing's phone rang.
"Ah? A show tonight? And I can meet the author of Asking the Immortal?! Okay, I will definitely go!!" Jing Xiaojing hung up the phone excitedly, and then found that he seemed to be not in City A now!
Ling Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes while eating chestnut cake. She could go to Yunding Mountain alone, but since it was dangerous, she couldn't take anyone else with her. That's why she arranged everything last night. Knowing how much Xiaojing liked to ask the immortals, she made all the arrangements.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so conflicted?" Ling Xiaoxiao saw Jing Xiaojing's conflicted face and knew that she wanted to go back, but she was worried about her.
"Xiaoxiao, the author of Ask the Immortal will go to watch that classic night scene tonight! I want to go and see it, but I've already promised to go to the mountains with you." Jing Xiaojing frowned and said, why do things have to be piled up on this day! Why didn't she shoot that scene when she was slacking off every day before?
"It doesn't matter. We can still play together in the future, but that play only happens once!" Ling Xiaoxiao said quickly. As long as Xiaojing is sent back first, then Chen Jue can find a way to prevent him from going!
"Ah! Xiaoxiao, you are so nice!! I'll go pack my things first!" Jing Xiaojing didn't even eat and went straight upstairs to pack his luggage!
Looking at Jing Xiaojing's cheerful back, Ling Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Xiaojing would get stubborn and insist on going with her!
Chen Jue watched the whole process calmly, feeling that things were not that simple. After going through so much trouble to come here, how could it be such a coincidence that something happened the next day?
And seeing that Xiaoxiao looked like she was worried about something, could it be that something happened that he didn't know about?
"It's okay. Even if she leaves, I'm still with you, right?" Chen Jue kept looking at Ling Xiaoxiao's expression, trying to see something from her expression, but to his disappointment, there was nothing.
"Yeah, and you too." How could she stop Chen Jue from going up the mountain? Ling Xiaoxiao racked her brains but couldn't think of any way to stop him from getting suspicious and get him to leave!
Most of the luggage was not unpacked, so Jing Xiaojing came down quickly. After seeing her off in the car, Ling Xiaoxiao was grabbed by Chen Jue's arm.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Chen Jue didn't want to test her any further, so he pulled her aside and asked.
"What's the matter? Nothing!" Ling Xiaoxiao pretended that nothing had happened. She couldn't let Chen Jue know!
"Ling Xiaoxiao! Is there really nothing wrong?" This was the first time that Chen Jue spoke to her by her full name, with anger in his voice, because he felt that she did not trust him, so he did not tell her anything!
He was angry, Ling Xiaoxiao could sense it, but how could she explain it? She saw something giving her a clue, so she was ready to take the risk alone? Wouldn't Chen Jue think she was crazy?
"Chen Jue, why don't you go back first?" Ling Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Chen Jue was really going crazy! He was asking questions seriously, but someone just told him to go back first?
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Chen Jue was so angry that he asked someone to arrange a car and left City S as well.
"I'm sorry, but I can't hurt you." Ling Xiaoxiao thought that she would apologize when she returned later! The most important thing now was to go to Yunding Mountain to take a look. Why did they stop her from going?
As a tourist attraction in City S, Yunding Mountain has direct buses that take about an hour from the city center to the top of the mountain.
After checking the route, Ling Xiaoxiao put on her down jacket and a backpack stuffed with various things. Although she didn't know if it would be useful, it was always necessary to be prepared! And so, Ling Xiaoxiao embarked on an unknown journey alone!
