Chapter 159 Uncle Whitebeard
o(╥﹏╥)o The chapter order was wrong when it was published, so here is Chapter 159. Don't be confused by the title above.
Here is the text:
"In fact, when I fell into the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, my injuries were so severe that almost all my bones were broken. I didn't even have the strength to climb out of the pool. If it weren't for Uncle Whitebeard who rescued me, I would have turned into a dried-up skeleton at the bottom of the pool by now."
Regardless of the sudden change in everyone's expressions due to her previous words, Xinyi added more details, which scared Uncle Xin Jiu so much that his face turned pale, and he wanted to pull her up to check if she had any other injuries.
Xin Yi stopped Uncle Xin Jiu and comforted him: "Daddy, don't panic. I'm fine now."
Uncle Xin Jiu was still a little worried, and secretly decided that after returning home, he would find all the famous doctors in Mingcheng to check Xinyi's pulse.
"You keep talking about the uncle with white beard, but we've been here for a while and haven't seen anyone else except you?" Feng Xiyun couldn't help asking.
Xinyi's face was filled with sadness and loss. She lowered her head and lamented, "Uncle Whitebeard died to save me... Oh, to save me, he died..."
Unable to suppress the grief in her heart any longer, Xinyi fell on the bamboo coffee table and burst into tears after saying this.
Feng Xiyun glanced at her in a panic, then turned to look at Feng Ming, just like a child seeking comfort and protection from his parents. His words made Xinyi cry, and he was really panicked now.
Feng Ming patted Feng Xiyun's hand, signaling him not to worry, it had nothing to do with him. After all, even if he didn't ask, they would have asked too.
Xinyi cried again, watching the sky outside gradually change, and thought of the servants who were still waiting for them in the cave. If they delayed for too long, Bi Chun might bring people into the valley to look for them. If they all entered the Fantasy Forest, she and Feng Xi Yunguang would be exhausted after leading them out of the Fantasy Forest.
So there was really no time to delay. Although Xinyi was crying uncomfortably, Fengming had to interrupt her.
"Well, Mr. Xin, Sister Xinyi, why don't we leave this place first? It's getting dark. What if the servants get worried and come looking for us and accidentally wander into the Fantasy Forest, harming people in vain?"
"Woo~ Okay, let's get out of here... Hiccup, but how do we get out?"
Xinyi had been crying for a while, and her sadness eased a little.
"That's not difficult. I just thought about it. Although I don't know why, Xiyun and I are not affected by the Phantom Forest. Then we will take you out one by one."
"ah!"
As soon as Feng Ming finished speaking, before anyone else could say anything, Feng Xiyun groaned and looked at Feng Yuyun with a look of despair. The meaning couldn't be more straightforward: "Do I have to delay Feng Zhengzheng again?"
Feng Yuyun had felt a little guilty about struggling all the way and letting Feng Xiyun drag her out of the Fantasy Forest, but Feng Xiyun openly despised her time and time again. She became furious and her face flushed with anger. She stood up from her chair and wanted to rush over to beat Feng Xiyun. Feng Xiyun was so scared that he hid behind Feng Ming and was about to make trouble again.
"Alright, alright, you two are so grown up and yet you still act like kids. Stop making trouble for now. You can do whatever you want after we leave here."
Feng Xiyun and Feng Yuyun finally calmed down a bit and sat back next to Feng Ming, but their eyes were still flashing back and forth.
Fengming ignored the other two and looked directly at Uncle Xin Jiu and Xin Yi.
"Then I can only trouble Your Highness and the young prince." Uncle Xin Jiu stood up and bowed to Feng Ming. After all, asking Feng Ming and Feng Xiyun, an eldest princess and a young prince, to do hard labor for them, although Feng Ming herself did not think it was a big deal and it was just a favor under special circumstances, but for Uncle Xin Jiu, who was born and raised in feudal society, this was really a great honor.
Xinyi had no idea about Fengming's identity, and Fengming didn't explain it specifically. Now, she suddenly saw her father treating Fengming with special respect. She stared at her with eyes that were as red as a rabbit after crying, a little confused.
"It's alright, let's go now."
"Hey, wait."
Xinyi called out to stop Fengming who was about to leave. Fengming looked at her with some confusion.
"Well, I want to go kowtow to Uncle Whitebeard. He has been looking forward to leaving here his whole life. Now that I can actually leave, it's time to tell him the good news."
When talking about the uncle with white beard, Xinyi's tone was very depressed.
"That's right. Go ahead. Where is he buried?"
"It's in the deep pool behind the bamboo house. This is a spontaneous tradition in the valley. People can't get out when they are alive, so they hope that after death, their souls can follow the flow of water and leave."
Fengming didn't say much and followed Xinyi to the back of the bamboo house.
Sure enough, about ten meters behind the bamboo house was a pool of pitch-black water. The sight of it made one feel somewhat oppressive, as if some indescribable, strange entity lurked beneath the surface. Thinking about the countless bones of those who had fallen off the cliff at the bottom of the pool, Fengming didn't want to go any further. From a distance, he watched Xinyi kneel by the pool and kowtow three times to the water.
"Uncle with the white beard, I am about to leave here. I will never forget your kindness in giving me a new life. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your last wish!"
After Xin Yi finished bowing, Uncle Xin Jiu also bowed deeply towards the pool of water. Although he didn't say much, everyone understood that this was a father expressing his gratitude to the person who saved his daughter.
"Let's go!"
Like Fengming, Feng Yuyun felt an inexplicable fear of the water. Seeing Xinyi and the others finished their worship, she quickly pulled Fengming outside. Only when they reached the open area in front of the bamboo house did she feel a sense of relief.
"Well, everyone, please wait for me for a moment. There are some things that need to be packed."
Xinyi hurriedly ran back and forth between the doors of the bamboo houses. After a while, she packed up a huge package and happily ran to Fengming and the others with it on her back: "Okay, let's go."
Feng Xiyun looked at the package, swallowed unconsciously, and asked blankly: "What are you putting in here?"
"Ah, these are all medicinal herbs, the medical skills that Uncle Whitebeard left me, and some things he asked me to give to others if I can get out."
Although Xinyi was very sad when she was paying tribute to the white-bearded uncle just now, she was excited that she could leave this place after all.
Feng Xiyun was not relieved. He became worried when he thought that he might have to carry the big package in the future!
He was already worried enough about Feng Yuyun, who couldn't be dragged away even with punches, kicks, or dragging. Now there was another big package. Feng Xiyun suddenly regretted following him out today.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Let's go."
Seeing Feng Xiyun standing there in a daze, Xinyi cheerfully reminded him.
Fengming looked back at the bamboo house.
"Sister Xinyi, are you going to leave this bamboo house open like this?"
"Well, Uncle Whitebeard said that if I have a chance to leave, I should take these things with me and leave the bamboo house unsealed. If anyone else accidentally falls off the cliff in the future, it can serve as a shelter."
