Chapter 81



Wen He was stunned for a long time. When she came to her senses, she no longer felt as happy as before. Instead, she felt indescribable depression and discomfort. There was no moment more clearly than now that she realized that she had really forgotten a lot of memories, and among these memories, there were many that made her feel happy.

Now, Wen He didn't even have the leisure to stroll around the orchard. Even the only surviving strawberry was not so attractive to her. She just stood there, took the strawberry from the big rooster's mouth, and then divided it into small portions to feed the chicks.

Soon, the strawberries were fed and shared. The chicks did not leave and just kept moving around Wenhe.

The big rooster was not afraid at all. He just stared at Wen He with his head tilted for a while, then slowly raised his claws and moved to Wen He's legs, squatting down and leaning against him, as if to keep warm.

I just don't know whether she was keeping it warm or it was keeping her warm.

There was no other reason. It was just that although Wen He was wearing thick clothes, her face did not look very warm. I didn't know if she was frozen by the cold wind or she looked dazed because of something.

He stood there like this for almost fifteen minutes. When his legs felt a little sore, Wen He finally came back to his senses. He lowered his head and subconsciously wanted to stretch out his head to rub the rooster's feathers, say "goodbye" to the flock of chickens, and then go back.

But at the moment she lowered her head, Wen He saw traces of the chickens pushing away the thin layer of snow on the ground, revealing the ground. It was as if she saw something, and Wen He couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh".

I saw that under this strawberry seedling, there seemed to be a destroyed and damaged formation, as if it was destroyed by the natural activities of some creatures.

But that's not the point. The point is...

Wen He discovered that she actually seemed to know how to restore the formation. This knowledge seemed to have been engraved in her mind long ago, and the moment she saw the broken formation, all these things suddenly flooded into her mind.

At the same time, Wen He couldn't help but think of the words Ji Changhe and Shen Xiu had said during their argument. Something like, "...but so what? Wen He is no longer considered a member of the metaphysical circle. He is just an ordinary person, and certainly not the Wen He who used to rely on formations and amaze people..."

It seemed that this was knowledge she had learned before, and it had been deeply engraved in her mind without her realizing it. Moreover, she must have had something hanging around her neck at that time. At that moment, her right hand subconsciously reached towards her heart, but she grabbed nothing and touched nothing...

Perhaps in order to verify his own guess, Wen He hesitated for a moment, but decided to give it a try to see if the knowledge emerging in his mind was true.

So, Wen He moved. Regardless of the coldness of the thin snow, she squatted down and used her hands to push away the thin layer of snow around the strawberry seedlings, revealing the incomplete formation carved on the ground.

Then, as if he had done it countless times, he bent a dry branch to act as a cinnabar pen and began to draw along the edge of the incomplete formation bit by bit. About a quarter of an hour later, the "pen" under Wen He's head stopped, and a faint light lit up before his eyes.

The next moment, as if a miracle had happened, the strawberry seedling that was on the verge of freezing to death suddenly straightened up again, sprouted new green buds, and gradually grew taller, bloomed and bore fruit, regaining its original vigorous appearance.

The strawberry seedling recovered and even bloomed and bore fruit again. What did this prove? It proved that her repair of the incomplete formation was successful. She knew this formation. Moreover, it was not just that. She subconsciously felt that there should not be just one formation like this in this orchard. She took the trouble to carve such a formation, and it should not be just to revive a strawberry seedling. It was more like a small formation within a large formation. There should be other incomplete formations in other places in this orchard.

As if possessed by a devil, Wen He began to look for the incomplete formations in the orchard. In the beginning, Wen He had no clue where to start, and had to rely on the rooster and the chickens to lead the way before she could find an incomplete formation. But later, as more and more incomplete formations were completed, Wen He became more and more proficient in completing the incomplete formations, and the formation knowledge in her mind became clearer and clearer. She no longer needed the chickens to help lead the way, as she knew clearly and accurately where the remaining incomplete formations were.

After walking and stopping, pausing and drawing, it took Wen He almost two hours to complete the incomplete formation of the entire orchard. At the moment when the last eye of the formation was completed, the orchard, which was on the verge of death, suddenly came back to life.

The thin layer of snow covering the ground and plants melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into snow water that merged into the earth, nourishing the orchard. All the fruit seedlings, like the strawberry seedling, suddenly sprouted new buds, bloomed, and bore fruit, all in a very short time, returning to their original appearance.

If anyone saw this scene at this moment, they would surely be shocked. This fully restored orchard was like a "paradise" separated by a forest of light snow. There was white snow outside, but inside it was green and full of pleasing large fruits.

Of course, Wen He didn't care what others thought. Just looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but smile. She felt satisfied and happy. Even the big rooster following behind her seemed to be extremely excited, flapping its majestic wings and looking very excited.

The only drawback is that since she used dead branches to draw these incomplete formations on the ground, they may not last long. If it snows again later, the restored formations will be easily destroyed. If she wants to keep them longer, she still has to use cinnabar. With cinnabar, it can last at least for about three months.

She remembered that Uncle Song's room seemed to have some cinnabar for drawing formations. Why not ask Uncle Song to borrow some? It was rare for the orchard to have recovered to such a beautiful state. Wen He couldn't bear to let them freeze to death and wither again. After all, this was the fruit of her labor! What's more, now she could remember how to draw most of the formations!

Thinking of this, Wen He couldn't help but take action. He put all the miscellaneous things into the small basket and walked back in a hurry, wanting to go back as soon as possible to ask Uncle Song to borrow cinnabar before coming to the orchard.

However, it was not known whether it was because Wen He was anxious and walked too fast, or because the path on the other side of the shortcut was a bit complicated.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Wen He found that he had walked and seemed to have walked onto another fork in the shortcut path. If there had not been a mountain wall behind the fork in the path and no road, Wen He would not have discovered it in time. He could not help but slap himself on the head, cursed "stupid", and planned to turn around and walk back.

But at the moment she turned around, Wen He saw another formation drawn at the bottom of the mountain wall, a formation completely different from the previous one.

This is a teleportation array, and it is an advanced teleportation array.

After looking carefully for a while, Wen He recognized the formation. The person who drew the formation had a rough technique, and it was obviously drawn by a man.

Or to be more precise, this should be the formation drawn by Uncle Song, and there is also an advanced teleportation formation drawn by Uncle Song on the edge of the small courtyard at home, which looks exactly like this one.

But if that's the case, then the question arises: if there's already a teleportation array here, why draw another one in the small courtyard? If it's for convenience, wouldn't it be better to just destroy the teleportation array here and keep the one in the small courtyard? But from the traces around it, it's clear that someone has been here recently. Clearly, this advanced teleportation array here, like the one in the courtyard, has been in use for a long time, and that person is most likely Uncle Song.

As for the reason... it is very likely that it is just like the formation that is deployed every time there are guests at home to talk. The teleportation array drawn here and there is to avoid her. He doesn't want her to know where the teleportation array is connected to, right?

Of course, Wen He was curious, but since Uncle Song didn't want her to know, Wen He naturally wouldn't rashly enter the teleportation array. After taking a few more glances, she turned around and planned to retreat the same way.

But at this moment, a big spotted pig suddenly jumped out from the nearby woods. Its green eyes became very excited when it saw Wen He. It spread its four legs and rushed towards Wen He enthusiastically.

Wen He felt a little familiar with this big spotted pig, just like he did with the big rooster, as if he had known this big spotted pig.

Moreover, although the big spotted pig was large in size, it had a silly look on its face without any malice, so Wen He did not feel scared. However, suddenly such a big spotted pig pounced on her. Even if Wen He was calm, she was still shocked. Almost as a conditioned reflex, she took several steps back. But in the next second, Wen He seemed to suddenly remember something, and the expression on her face suddenly changed, and she shouted "Oh no" in her heart.

She had forgotten that the advanced teleportation array was just a few steps behind her. If she retreated like this, wouldn't she have just entered the range of the teleportation array?

If the teleportation array was activated, she would be sent away directly. No, she had to get out quickly before the teleportation array was activated.

But it just happened that what Wen He least wanted to happen happened. In the next moment, Wen He felt a faint light flash around her and her eyes blurred. In the blink of an eye, the scenery in front of her had completely changed. It was obvious that she was teleported here directly. Looking ahead, there was a snow-covered forest, but this was obviously not the hill where she used to live.

Although it is also a mountain forest, the snow in the mountain forest in front of me is much thicker. Just stepping on it is almost above the knees. The terrain is also different. The terrain of the mountain forest here is more dangerous and steep.

But this is not the biggest difference between the two forests. The point is that the thick snow-covered forest in front of us is not just extremely cold, it looks more like it is dead. There is no green within the range of vision, let alone the sound of birds and insects. It is as lonely as death.

This, this, this... Could it be that the other end of this advanced teleportation array is connected to Nanshan? The Nanshan that is said to be inaccessible and fatal to anyone who enters?!

Wen He was shocked when she thought of this possibility. She didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around and stood back on the teleportation array, hoping that the teleportation array would teleport her back quickly. However, Wen He stood there and waited for a long time, but there was no movement. She lowered her head and found that a few pig hoof prints had appeared in the corner of the advanced teleportation array under her feet.

The teleportation formation was damaged, and it was obvious that it was not damaged on her side, but by the big spotted pig on the other side of the formation who accidentally destroyed the formation with its pig's hoof!

At this moment, Wen He really didn't know whether to cry or be angry. The teleportation array was not broken, but it broke after she was teleported here! Now she couldn't go back. She probably had to wait until her mother and Uncle Song realized that she had been teleported here before she could go back.

However, now, at this moment, these are not the key points. The key point is that it is really cold in this mountain. The temperature is much lower than that at her home. If she continues to stand here and wait, she will definitely be frozen into an ice stick. No, the most urgent thing now is to find a place to avoid the cold. It would be even better if there is a place with a roof over her head.

Thinking of this, Wen He's eyes subconsciously swept around. After such a sweep, she really found a place where she could avoid the cold. Not far ahead, on the top of the mountain, there seemed to be a dilapidated temple. It looked like a large-scale dilapidated temple, but it was a bit old and not just a little shabby.

But in such a large, dilapidated temple, there must be one or two rooms where she could avoid the cold. She could just go there and hide there. When Uncle Song and the others came, she would leave immediately and would definitely not stay for long!

Wen He, who was a little numb from the cold, tried to endure it, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. He hesitated for a long time between being afraid and freezing to death, but the desire to survive prevailed.

At that moment, Wen He really couldn't care less. He gritted his teeth, held his breath, and rushed towards the dilapidated temple on the mountain.

I have to say that this dilapidated temple is not just dilapidated. It seems that it had experienced an extremely brutal fight before its defeat. The temple is completely destroyed, and there are many bloodstains that have turned black and red, which are impossible to wipe off.

It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid at all. Just as Ji Changhe said, Wen He was basically the same as an ordinary person now. He had no experience at all. How could he not be afraid? But in order to avoid the cold, Wen He gritted his teeth and endured it. He bravely searched in this dilapidated temple, hoping to find a broken room that could block the wind better and keep out the cold as much as possible.

After searching for a long time, Wen He finally found a room that seemed to be okay. Although the inside looked as shabby and dusty as the outside, at least the doors and windows were in good condition. If all the doors and windows were closed, it would at least be able to block the wind, right?

However, just as Wen He stepped in, an extremely cold voice came out from inside, which made people's hair stand on end. Fear directly covered them in the face, and Wen He was so scared that he couldn't move.

I only heard that extremely cold male voice saying:

"Who are you? Who let you in? Which leg do you want to cut off for me? Your left leg? Your right leg?"
