Chapter 55 "How long has it been since we last saw each other?"



In terms of time zones, Tibet is actually two or three hours behind Beijing.

A breeze blows, and a faint fragrance permeates the silent grassland. Grass, trees, and cow dung are the fresh scents emanating from the wilderness. In the distance, the mountains are framed with a golden hue, which are probably the sacred mountains that the herders used to talk about.

Jiang Shuyin remained silent for a long time, praying silently. She hoped the wind would carry her thoughts to the sacred mountain beyond. She was so tired; could she please stop for a moment...?

By this time, she was already 500 li away from the Shule tribe. She couldn't remember how many days and nights she had run, but it must have been at least six or eight nights. The muscles on her slender and well-proportioned legs became firmer, and she looked even thinner. The intense ultraviolet rays had tanned her skin three shades darker.

As the wind grew cooler and the moon appeared from another direction, Jiang Shuyin suddenly realized that she was now stranded in a desolate wilderness, with no shelter whatsoever.

The orange-red moon suddenly drew closer, and the terrifying feeling of being face-to-face with a villain shot up from my spine to my face, sending a tingling, electric-like sensation through me.

This was a devastating blow to Jiang Shuyin.

When Xie Yin arrived, he was just in time to block the beam of light that had a strong attraction.

Jiang Shuyin fell from mid-air, adjusted her body, and landed in a half-kneeling position. Her knees touched the muddy ground, and she felt very little pain.

"Thanks."

If Xie Yin had a system, he would probably hear the notification sound of "[Favorability +10]".

Jiang Shuyin looked at the black mist and felt a sense of familiarity. Being in it, her long-tense nerves slowly relaxed. Then everything went black and her body fell backward. Two seconds before her body hit the ground, Qingwu and Feitao emerged from the black mist. One supported her neck and the other her waist, greatly reducing the gravitational potential energy, and then gently put her mother down.

Xie Yin wanted to sever the moon's attraction, so he didn't transform into a human form. He looked down at her from high above and saw how much she had changed in just a short while, probably the kind of surprise one gets when a child grows into an adult in an instant.

Her pure white and beautiful face was replaced by a resolute and patient demeanor, and her delicate body underwent intensive development in a short period of time, elevating her to the level of a highly civilized being.

Qingwu has also changed a lot. As a stay-at-home dad, Xie Yin is actually very good at taking care of children. He has grown Qingwu from the size of a basketball to a cloud with a diameter of two meters.

Fei Tao has also turned back to her brother's old look, like a big, juicy peach.

Jiang Shuyin slept for a long time. During her sleep, her brain expanded rapidly, her muscle fibers split and ruptured, and her sensory nerves were paralyzed, so she could not feel soreness, swelling, numbness, pain, or other sensations.

Heimei sensed her father's presence, climbed out of the canvas bag, and timidly looked at her brother, sister, and father, whom she had to look up at.

The moment he saw her appear, Xie Yin's memory fragments were instantly illuminated. He used his body to pull the little girl up, took out a crystal core that he had specially prepared for her. Unlike the cyan crystal core of the wood-type ability, the healing crystal core was greener and emitted a fluorescent glow.

Black Plum sensed the gentle kindness, and nestled against her father's body, obediently watching her brother and sister fight over their mother.

Heimei: "My mother loves me the most."

Qingwu and Feitao turned their heads at the same time and attacked her together.

Xie Yin, as the patriarch, should have stopped this two-on-one fight, but he had no intention of interfering; his attention was focused on the person in a dormant evolutionary state.

Jiang Shuyin woke up hungry seven days later. The glaring sunlight shone on her face, and her skin, dehydrated, was peeling. Ignoring this, she looked around to make sure no one was there, then took out a Snickers bar from her spatial storage and wolfed down seven or eight pieces before she could barely suppress her hunger.

Her gaze drifted aimlessly into the air, her mind replaying the scene before she lost consciousness, a sudden realization dawning on her. This experience of hiding and fleeing had sharpened her insight and intuition. She turned her head abruptly, and there stood the person in the shadow of a mountain, his face calm, as if what she had been experiencing was just a dream, and that the two had never actually been apart.

Those deep, dark eyes held a serene joy, a longing to be closer, yet it all seemed like a mirage.

A breeze picked up, brushing his bangs lightly against her forehead. He walked towards her without making a sound, squatted down, raised his hand, and with a particularly serious look in his eyes, peeled away the dead skin that was flaking off her face.

"How long has it been since we last saw each other?"

"634 hours."

Jiang Shuyin calculated in her mind that dividing by 24 would give her about 26 days. She should go home and let her mother know she was safe.

Another example: "I lost my bracelet."

Xie Yin gave a soft "hmm": "I text you every day. Minister Hu told me you were missing, and that's when I found out you weren't angry."

He gently touched the girl's head, looked at the emotion in her eyes, silently marked this gesture with her name, and carefully stored it in his memory.

The trains returning to Tibet sounded their whistles, taking away batches of departing tourists. The official Tibetan area was marked as a medium-risk area, and the area within a 300-kilometer radius of the Shule tribe, including Soba Town, was marked as a high-risk area.

Diplomats led elite teams from the West and the central base to the site, deploying special search teams, anomaly management departments, and multiple response, control, and support units to coordinate their efforts.

After Jiang Shu led the people to Da'an City, the Shule tribe was about to be surrounded by the Z country's main force.
