Chapter 175 Xia Zibo Disappears
Aunt Chen quickly agreed, already thinking about who to look for.
When Xia Xing'er and her brother returned to the dilapidated courtyard and saw that it was still early, they thought of going for a walk in the mountains.
There must be a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountains in this season.
When the three little ones heard that their aunt was going to the mountain, they clamored to go with her.
"Aunt, please take me with you!"
"Aunt, I want to go too. I promise I won't run around and I'll protect you!"
Xia Xing'er looked at the three pairs of bright eyes in front of her and couldn't say no.
I had no choice but to agree to take the three of them to the mountain together.
Of course, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Three-Si also went along.
A group of more than a dozen people walked up the mountain together.
The mountain road was winding, the sun was dappled, and the group of people were laughing and talking, making the place very lively.
Xia Zibo skipped over to Xia Xing'er and said happily, "Aunt, are we going to catch rabbits again today?"
They remembered the time when they followed Xia Xing'er to catch rabbits and they always caught one.
Later, they took Uncle San to catch rabbits, but they didn't catch any.
Xia Xing'er looked at their expectant eyes and unconsciously felt better.
"Okay, but how about I watch you guys do it this time?"
The three little ones nodded excitedly and said in unison: "Yes, yes!"
Xia Qingyu also looked eager to try.
Chunliu and the others also had sparkling eyes. Since they followed the young lady back to the Marquis' Mansion, they have never caught wild game again.
When they were with Xia Xing'er in Meishan, they often went to the mountains to hunt wild game. Now thinking about it, that kind of life was really free and without any worries.
Later, when they returned to the Marquis' Mansion and then to the General's Mansion, not to mention the young lady, none of the maids and servants were happy.
"Miss, can we also catch rabbits and hunt pheasants?"
Xia Xing'er knew that they had been frustrated for the past few years. Not only had she hidden her edge, but so had they.
With their abilities, they could easily dominate the world, but they stayed with her without any regrets.
"Of course. Do you want to have a competition to see who can catch more wild animals in the end?"
There was excitement in the eyes of Chunliu and the other eight people!
Before Xia Xing'er finished speaking, everyone was already rubbing their hands, eager to try.
"Uncle, why are you so stupid? The rabbits have already escaped from that hole over there!"
This was not the first time that Xia Qingyu had been despised by her nephew, and now her face was as black as charcoal.
Didn't he know there was a hole over there? But he was alone, how could he take care of two holes?
These three bastards followed him. Didn’t they know to leave one person to guard the cave entrance?
But looking at the three little brats in front of me, I can't hit or scold them...
"Uncle, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go to the next cave!"
Xia Xing'er found a stone to sit down, looking at the figure busy catching rabbits in the distance, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
"Xing'er, aren't you going to join them? Without you, I don't think they'll be able to catch a single rabbit by the end of the night."
"Jiujiu, don't you envy them?"
Jiujiu: Don’t poke its heart like this. You know it can’t go out, but you still ask deliberately. This host is so mean!
Xia Xing'er looked at Jiujiu's depressed expression and her heart was filled with joy.
Xia Xing'er wanted to joke for a while, but suddenly she heard Xia Qingyu's anxious cry.
"Zi Bo!" The voice was a little panicked, breaking the tranquility of the mountains.
Xia Xing'er suddenly looked up and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Xia Qingyu standing on a large rock not far away, with his hands cupped into a trumpet shape, shouting in one direction.
His face was pale and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
Xia Xing'er's heart tightened, and she quickly stood up and came quickly to Xia Qingyu's side.
"What happened to Zibo?" Xia Xing'er asked anxiously, looking around for Xia Zibo's figure.
Xia Qingyu pointed to a dense forest not far away. "He just said he was going over there to pick wild fruits, but it's been a while and he still hasn't come back."
Xia Xing'er had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she quickly gathered everyone and divided them into groups to go into the dense forest to search.
The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and tension.
The birdsong in the forest also seemed to become unusual, as if expressing unease.
Xia Xing'er walked forward carefully, paying attention to the movements around her, and silently prayed in her heart that Xia Zibo would be safe.
Suddenly, Jiujiu said, "Xing'er, there's a cave over there, covered up by trees."
Xia Xing'er turned around to look at Xia Qingyu and the others and said softly, "Third brother, take Chunliu, Ziyu and Zichuan back first. I'll go inside later!"
Before Xia Qingyu could speak, Xia Ziyu said, "Aunt, I'm not going back. I want to go find my third brother together."
Xia Zichuan also nodded and said, "Aunt, I won't go back either. I'm not tired. Finding my third brother is the most important thing now!"
Although the others didn't say anything, their attitude was the same: they would not go back.
Xia Xing'er had no choice but to take them to the cave that Jiujiu mentioned.
Outside the cave, there were overgrown weeds, making it seem extremely hidden.
If Jiujiu hadn't told her, Xia Xing'er would definitely have passed this place and would never have thought that there was a cave here.
Xia Xing'er was nervous and slowly pushed aside the obstructing branches, revealing the entrance to the cave.
Just as everyone was about to enter, a faint breeze blew out from the cave, carrying a strange fragrance that lifted people's spirits.
Xia Xing'er frowned, signaling everyone to be careful. She tiptoed into the cave, only to see the walls inlaid with shimmering gemstones, illuminating the path ahead.
From deeper inside, there seemed to be a faint singing voice, melodious and mysterious, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
Xia Xing'er was surprised and signaled everyone to follow closely and walk carefully towards the cave together.
"Xing'er, you guys need to be careful. I can't even detect what's ahead? Does this mean there's definitely danger ahead?"
Xia Xing'er knew that what Jiujiu said was true. She didn't know what was ahead, but it felt very dangerous to her.
He didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to investigate rashly. After all, he couldn't detect it even after a long time.
"I understand. Thank you Jiujiu."
Xia Xing'er signaled everyone to slow down and try not to make any noise.
As we go deeper, the singing becomes clearer and clearer, as if it carries some kind of magic that draws people deeper.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the gems in the cave flickered more frequently.
Immediately afterwards, the murals on the cave walls seemed to come alive, depicting scenes of ancient sacrifices, with the characters lifelike, as if telling a forgotten piece of history.
Chunliu felt a little cold all over and couldn't help shivering.
He said cautiously, "Miss, why do I feel something is eerie in here?"
Xia Yue also agreed: "Chun Liu, not only do you feel this way, but I feel the same way too!"
Others also quickly agreed!
