Su Ruyi's eyes instantly filled with tears—her intuition was right, Fifth Brother was very likely still alive, and right there on the mountain!
She immediately quickened her pace.
Soon, she came to a fork in the road.
After hesitating for a moment, she chose the road on the left.
However, after walking seven or eight steps, the burning sensation in my palms gradually disappeared.
So she turned back and took the road on the right.
Even after walking more than ten meters, the burning sensation persisted.
Su Ruyi followed the fork in the road.
There are many forks in the road behind the mountain; you'll encounter one every short distance.
Guided by the burning sensation of the red mole, Su Ruyi walked quickly. Before she knew it, she had crossed the outer mountain and entered the inner mountain, a place that the villagers feared.
Along the way, she only encountered a few pheasants that fluttered away, and no other living creatures.
She used a dagger to leave many marks on the tree trunks along the way.
Those markings were all the letter S.
Because she was too focused on the red mole on her palm, Su Ruyi didn't stop until she reached the edge of a cliff that was at least forty or fifty meters deep.
At this moment, the burning sensation in my palm had become extremely intense, and the seven-colored light was now dazzling.
Su Ruyi lay on the edge of the cliff, looking down.
Her eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, so she immediately spotted a piece of clothing hanging on a protruding tree branch about ten meters below the cliff.
She rubbed her eyes.
A plain blue work shirt.
Su Ruyi's heart pounded, she held her breath, and looked closely.
"ah!"
She exclaimed in surprise—sure enough, there was a patch on the elbow of the left sleeve of the shirt.
The material of that patch...
Su Ruyi instantly remembered the bedding she had burned.
That patch was cut from the quilt and sewn onto Fifth Brother by myself!
It was a little over a year ago when Guan Yumei ordered Su Ruyi to mend her fifth brother's clothes, but refused to take out the scraps of cloth she had saved up.
In a fit of anger, Su Ruyi tore apart her quilt—after all, the cotton filling inside had shrunk considerably, making the quilt practically two separate pieces of fabric…
"Fifth Brother!" Su Ruyi shouted towards the bottom of the cliff.
"Fifth Brother... Brother... Brother..."
For a moment, her echo reverberated throughout the valley.
She waited quietly for a minute, but there was no response, and no other sound came from her.
But the burning sensation in my palm continued.
Su Ruyi gritted her teeth and returned to her spatial dimension.
Fifth Brother must have fallen off the cliff from here, otherwise his clothes wouldn't be hanging on the tree branch.
She was going to go down to the bottom of the cliff to look for it.
Now, she needs a rope.
After wandering around the space a few times, she spotted the heavy curtains.
I don't know what material it's made of, but it's heavy and very sturdy.
First, he rushed to the processing room in the backyard, took out a large pair of scissors, and then ripped off the curtains.
He muttered to himself, "Please forgive me, no matter who arranged this room! It was an emergency, but I'll definitely fix the curtains later!"
While muttering to herself, she cut a small opening in the curtains and then tore them open from the seam.
Soon, the two heavy curtains turned into a pile of strips of cloth.
Su Ruyi didn't stop to rest for a minute and immediately wove the three strips of cloth together.
Ten minutes later, the seventeen or eighteen-meter-long rope ladder, heavily wrapped around her arm, was pulled out of the space.
She planned to go check out the clothes hanging ten meters away first.
She always felt that her fifth brother had deliberately hung those clothes there.
Su Ruyi tied one end of the rope to a large tree, put on gloves, and climbed down the rope ladder.
This was her first time using a rope ladder, and the knots were clearly not tight enough.
Her feet often had to strain downwards to reach the next knot.
The reason I didn't fall was because I held on tightly with both arms.
It took her a full 20 minutes to reach the tree branch where the clothes were hanging.
At a glance, she spotted a cave next to the tree branch.
At the same time, the burning sensation in his right palm intensified, and a round, charred burn mark appeared on his glove.
Inside the cave, it was pitch black.
Su Ruyi climbed to the entrance of the cave and took out a candle from her spatial storage.
The cave was very low, and she crouched down as she walked inside.
“That is…” she bit her lip.
The candlelight provided limited illumination, but she still saw that after passing through a low passageway of four or five meters, she arrived at a large hall.
The hall is at least three meters high and over a hundred square meters in size!
In the hall, countless wooden crates were neatly stacked, in groups of a dozen or so, each printed with Japanese characters and numbers.
How come there's Japanese script here?
"What the hell is this thing?"
Su Ruyi forcefully lifted the lid of a box, violently ripping it open.
"Ah!!!" she screamed.
Inside were guns, dark guns, separated by cotton paper, densely packed with guns.
This is... Xiao Rizi's armory?!
Su Ruyi was filled with extreme disappointment.
It turns out that the burning sensation of the red birthmark wasn't guiding her to find the cycad, but rather leading her on a treasure hunt!
Despite her disappointment, Su Ruyi still turned around.
Not just wooden guns...
Su Ruyi lifted the lids of the boxes one by one—
"This is canned food!"
"These are compressed biscuits!"
"This box contains dried meat!"
"What is this? Dehydrated vegetables?"
"This is... a cotton-padded jacket?!"
Su Ruyi was increasingly surprised—this was actually a mini military supply depot?
She stopped looking at the unopened boxes and instead put them all into her spatial storage.
