Everyone in the village used to say she was a fool, but now it seems she's the wisest person in the whole village.
Shi Lisheng didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.
Thinking they were waiting for him, he told them the direction the village head and the others had left in.
So he raised his hand and pointed to the east.
"Brother, the village head and the village chief went in that direction. Go find them, but be sure to take care of your own safety."
After Gu Mofeng came to his senses and nodded, he asked her if she wanted to come with him.
After hearing this, Shi Lisheng refused without hesitation.
"I won't be a burden to others, and I certainly won't be a burden to you."
Gu Mofeng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
"If you don't come with me, how will you survive here?"
Shi Lisheng, however, seemed to have a "I have my own way" attitude.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Gu Mofeng didn't try to persuade her any further.
Instead, he gave her half of his already meager food rations.
"Then it's settled. You wait here patiently. Your Sister Xin said she'll return the jade pendant to you when she comes back!"
After he finished speaking, Shi Lisheng looked completely bewildered.
"Sister doesn't like it?"
"No, she likes it very much, but it's too expensive. You should keep it for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lisheng smiled with a simple and honest expression.
“That’s for my elder sister’s dowry, we can’t ask for it back. Besides, in this day and age, what could be more precious than the cornbread my elder brother gave us?”
Her words today have truly shocked Gu Mofeng many times over.
“Sheng Sheng is not stupid at all; she is an extremely intelligent person.”
Shi Lisheng blushed at his words, but did not refute them.
"Thank you for the compliment, brother. You should hurry on your way, it will be dark in two hours."
Gu Mofeng glanced at the sky, somewhat reluctant to say goodbye.
This parting was followed by a reunion thousands of years later.
As Shi Lisheng watched his departing figure, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
"Little Stone, will Brother Feng be safe?"
As she finished speaking, the little stone slid from her hair onto her shoulder.
He nodded, looking in the direction Gu Mofeng had left.
"It definitely will."
Shi Lisheng never knew whether Gu Mofeng was safe or not.
She starved to death shortly after finishing her food.
Before she died, she looked at the stone in her hand, a mixture of satisfaction and worry.
"Little Stone, if no one makes water for you after I die, will you die too?"
Little Stone saw that she was barely alive and was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"I don't know, but I will definitely come to find you after I die."
Upon hearing this, Shi Lisheng shook his head with all his might.
"No, after I die, you go and stay in the river, waiting for the next person who can hear you speak."
"No, I'll stay here with you, sob sob..."
Hearing him cry so sadly, Shi Lisheng stopped arguing.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs and wait for you. See you there!"
"Okay, see you there."
After saying this, Shi Lisheng fell silent. Little Stone cried around her body for a long time.
Thinking he was about to die, he lay down beside her body, intending to sleep with her forever.
Even after Shi Lisheng's body had turned into a pile of white bones, it still showed no signs of dying.
Moreover, no matter how it tries to kill itself, it remains completely unharmed.
After its seven hundredth unsuccessful attempt to ram its head against the wall, it had no choice but to abandon its suicidal thoughts.
Considering that so much time has passed, Shi Lisheng must have already been forcibly reincarnated.
Instead of wasting my time here, I'd rather go find her reincarnation.
Having figured it out, it set off alone with the stone on a long journey to find the person…
