Su Mo and the others calmed down and together they arranged Xiong Yuanke's remains and buried him next to Shu Yan's grave.
Xiang Heng asked them to hurry back and pack their luggage and prepare to go down the mountain.
Su Mo hurried back to her room, and Ji Honglin followed her at a quick trot with his short legs.
Su Mo was quick and efficient and cleaned up quickly.
Ji Honglin watched her things being packed into the suitcase bit by bit, and the sadness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Su Mo seemed to sense something and looked back at him. She found that he had his head drooped and looked unhappy. She walked over to him, squatted down, and smiled gently: "What's wrong?"
When Xiao Lin'er heard her voice, his eyes became moist and he said in a baby voice, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you."
"It's okay. Come down the mountain with me. Once we find your mother, we can still keep in touch." Su Mo rubbed his head and comforted him softly.
Unexpectedly, because of these words, Xiao Lin'er burst into tears and hugged her neck, "Mom, can I still be your son in the future?"
Su Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother will be jealous if she finds out."
"That's not what I meant." Ji Honglin's nose was red, and he looked at her with tears in his eyes. "What I meant was that I want to be your son in my next life. Are you willing, Mom?"
Su Mo just thought it was just childish talk and nodded quickly, "I agree, so please stop crying, okay?"
Ji Honglin held back his tears, but still couldn't help sobbing. He stretched out his little hand and looked at her seriously, "Mom, let's make a pinky promise. Once we make it, we can't regret it."
"Okay." Su Mo quickly reached out and touched fingers with him.
Ji Honglin then smiled with satisfaction, "Mom, you have to get married soon."
Su Mo was a little amused, "I will."
Ji Honglin stopped crying, and Su Mo continued to pack. After packing, Ji Honglin glanced at the bright sun outside and pursed his lips, "Mom, it's so hot outside, I want an umbrella."
"Okay, wait a minute and I'll give it to you." Su Mo took out her umbrella and handed it to him.
Su Mo took Ji Honglin's little hand and went downstairs.
In the living room, Xiang Heng, Chen Menglai and Ouyang Yi were all there.
Only Yan Xi was missing.
Su Mo frowned when she saw this, "Yan Xi really won't go with us?"
Xiang Heng was silent for a moment and nodded.
With the ghost beside him, he originally thought Yan Xi was forced, but when he went over just now, he heard... that kind of sound.
Yan Xi was actively responding.
The ghost didn't hurt him, so he must have been willing to do so.
But he was also afraid that Yan Xi had been bewitched. However, he would not listen to his persuasion at this time, so he planned to call his grandmother after they got down the mountain and ask her to come and rescue them.
Seeing this, Su Mo stopped talking.
Chen Menglai really didn't want to stay here any longer, so he hurriedly urged, "Let's go."
"good."
The four people began to walk towards the villa gate.
Ji Honglin jogged after him, holding an umbrella.
As expected, they encountered a ghost wall again. This time, no matter how hard they walked, they couldn't get out. Every time they thought they were about to go out, they looked closely and found that they were still outside the villa gate.
The two girls, Chen Menglai and Su Mo, were very scared.
The four of them did not give up and continued walking.
This went on and on, and before I knew it, it was night.
The sky was dark and they were deep in the mountains and forests, which made them even more scared.
But this time, for some reason, even the villa was nowhere to be seen.
The temperature in the forest suddenly dropped and a thick fog arose.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the road ahead even with a flashlight.
As they walked, Su Mo suddenly got separated from them.
It only took a minute, and when she turned around, the three of them were gone.
Su Mo's legs went limp and her face looked extremely ugly.
Ji Honglin hurriedly tugged at her clothes and comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
"Yeah." Su Mo forced a smile and didn't want to say anything more.
However, she always walked in front, and no matter how scared she was, she did not dare to let go of Ji Honglin's hand.
Suddenly there was a noise in the jungle.
Su Mo was startled and screamed.
Ji Honglin's pupils trembled, and he hurried to her, "Mom, I'm here to protect you!"
Just when the two were nervous, a snake emerged and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Honglin stared at the snake coldly.
As if sensing his hostility, the snake crawled away in shame.
Su Mo completely relaxed, breathing heavily, picked up the flashlight on the ground and shone it on Ji Honglin, saying weakly, "Xiao Lin'er, come here quickly."
"Oh, okay." Ji Honglin put away the strange expression on his face and turned around quickly.
Su Mo watched him walk over, and when she saw out of the corner of her eye that there was nothing on the ground, she was stunned.
Why does Xiao Lin'er... have no shadow?
She shone the flashlight on herself, and a long shadow immediately appeared on the ground.
She didn't give up and took pictures of Ji Honglin.
However, still the same, no shadow.
Su Mo suddenly realized something. Her hands trembled slightly and her expression stiffened. When Ji Honglin approached, she took a few steps back and said, "Don't, don't come over."
Ji Honglin paused and looked at her in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"You, why don't you have a shadow? Are you a human or a ghost?!" Su Mo pretended to be calm, with a fierce look on her face.
Hearing this, Ji Honglin panicked instantly, "Mom, I..."
Su Mo interrupted him harshly and said coldly, "Don't call me mom! What's your purpose in deliberately approaching me?!"
Seeing her reaction, Ji Honglin was frightened. He pursed his lips and felt like crying again. "I, I don't have any purpose, Mom, don't be afraid of me. I'm not an evil ghost, I'm a good ghost. I have no ill will towards you. Think about it, have I never hurt you in the past few days?"
Su Mo thought about it and realized that it was true. However, she still didn't dare to let her guard down. She looked at him warily, "Then why did you lie to me and keep following me?"
"Because you are my mother." Ji Honglin choked up a little, his eyes reddened. "I have been waiting for you in the villa for over a hundred years. During these hundred years, I have thought about you all the time."
Seeing him crying, Su Mo's heart softened unconsciously, "What do you mean by this?"
