Xinyi was naturally happy to add another cup of tea for Feng Xiyun, but for some reason there was no teapot, so Xinyi went outside to pour the tea. As she went in and out, Uncle Xin Jiu's eyes never left her, as if he was afraid that if he missed her, the daughter he had finally found would disappear again.
"Yi'er, since you are safe and sound, why haven't you come home all this time?"
Seeing Xin Yi pouring tea for Feng Xiyun, and finally bringing a cup of hot tea and sitting next to him, Uncle Xin Jiu finally couldn't help asking this question.
"Daddy, it's not that I don't want to go home, it's just that I can't go back!"
Xinyi sighed deeply, and when she spoke of this, tears welled up in her eyelashes and her voice was tearful, but she managed to hold back her tears.
"Why? Why can't I go back?"
Uncle Xin Jiu felt a pain in his heart when he saw his daughter's grief-stricken expression. He quickly put down the teacup in his hand and held Xinyi's hands tightly with his big hands.
"Because the forest you saw when you just came in was an illusion...so no one can leave here!"
Xinyi explained to Uncle Xin Jiu the situation she had just explained to Fengming. When Uncle Xin Jiu heard her last sentence, he felt so guilty that his heart was broken. His daughter was trapped under this cliff and couldn't go home, but he was still blaming his daughter for not going home and making him worry. He was really not a qualified father.
While Uncle Xin Jiu was reflecting on himself, Feng Xiyun suddenly understood after hearing the explanation. No wonder Feng Yuyun behaved so strangely. Then he had the same doubt as Feng Ming: "Why am I not affected by the Phantom Forest?"
"Hey, uh, sister, you said no one can leave here, so no one can come in, but we're all here?"
Feng Xiyun asked further. He was a person who had something on his mind that he couldn't keep to himself. He didn't notice that the father and daughter were sad over there, so he asked his own doubts first.
"Well, I don't know why. This girl came in suddenly and brought you all here suddenly. To be honest, I still can't help but wonder if this is just another dream I had."
After crying for a while, Xinyi saw her father again. Although she was still sad when she thought about not being able to get out of Huanlin, she felt a little hopeful because someone had passed through after all. She cheered up and cooperated with Feng Xiyun to analyze the situation.
"Haha, sister, if you pinch your face to see if it hurts, you'll know if you're dreaming or not."
Feng Yuyun was a more open-minded person and didn't think too much about it at the moment. She was still joking with Xinyi with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Xinyi actually reached out and pinched her face. The pain made her delicate eyebrows wrinkle like two caterpillars. However, Xinyi laughed instead and said excitedly, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream, this is real."
"The main reason you can come in is because Xiyun and I are not affected by the Phantom Forest. However, why we are not affected by the Phantom Forest is hard to explain at the moment. Compared to this, I am very curious, Sister Xinyi, are you alone here? Who is the white-bearded uncle you mentioned before? Why don't I see him? Also, how did you survive after falling from such a high cliff?"
Feng Ming didn't want to dwell on Huan Lin's affairs anymore. Anyway, she and Feng Xiyun were not affected by Huan Lin now, and it was only a matter of time before they left. She would rather understand these issues clearly first.
"Yes, Yi'er, the cliff is so deep that no one can see the bottom. It is said that no one has ever returned alive. I, your father, thought that you were gone forever."
Uncle Xin Jiu couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that his daughter was dead. He held Xin Yi's hand tightly and didn't dare to let go at all.
"It's not that no one can survive, but that no one can leave."
Xinyi began to narrate what happened after she fell off the cliff with a somewhat lost tone.
On the day when she was on her way back from burning incense, she unexpectedly encountered robbers and was forced to the edge of a cliff. No matter how much gold, silver and treasures she offered, the robbers remained indifferent and just wanted to take her away. In a hurry, she slipped and fell off the cliff.
The moment she fell off the cliff, she really thought she was going to die.
Under the huge feeling of falling, she could only subconsciously hold the Yuanbao in her arms tightly, waiting for the moment of huge impact and pain to come.
This moment came very quickly, but it was not as painful as she had imagined. She was caught by a tree growing out of the cliff.
The tree grew in the mist of a deep cliff. The top of the cliff was invisible, and the bottom of the cliff was invisible. Only a small tree growing horizontally was vaguely visible not far below.
Xinyi hung on the small tree with difficulty, hoping someone would come to rescue her, but she waited for a whole day and a night without seeing even a flying bird. Only Yuanbao was with her.
In order to prevent the ingot from falling away, Xinyi took great pains to tie it to herself with a belt.
After a day and a night, Xinyi was extremely hungry, with no hope of rescue and no possibility of climbing up. She finally decided to take a risk and jump from the tree below.
At that time, Xinyi was thinking that the small tree was about to be unable to bear her weight and might break at any time. Since it was going to fall down anyway, why not take the initiative and control it like climbing down a ladder? Maybe there would be a glimmer of hope.
It must be said that her adventure was successful, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting in the bamboo house now and recounting the whole process. But if she had made the slightest mistake, if she hadn't been able to grab that small branch, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Fortunately, Xinyi climbed up the second small tree steadily. Relying on this method, she fell down the cliff little by little, and finally fell into a deep pool behind the bamboo house, thus barely saving her life.
“Huh~”
Hearing Xinyi say that she had finally saved her life, Feng Yuyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she heard Xinyi jumping down, she held her breath nervously, as if she was afraid that the sound of her breathing would disturb her.
"Thank goodness for the trees and the pond. Thank God for keeping my son safe."
Uncle Xin Jiu also made a gesture of thanking God for his blessing, feeling a little scared.
Fengming felt it was a bit strange. The process Xinyi described should be fine, but after all, there is the effect of gravity acceleration. Even if he fell on a tree or into the water, he would still be injured, right?
"Sister Xinyi, please forgive me for asking you a question. I'm just curious, how did you fall from such a high cliff without even a scratch?"
Xinyi looked at Fengming, seeming to be hesitant to speak, as if she had something to say but wasn't sure whether she should or not.
After hesitating for a moment, Xinyi decided to speak out.
"In fact, if you had come a few days ago, you would have seen me lying in bed, badly injured and unable to move!"
