Lin Yuexi looked at their greedy looks and said with a smile: "Little greedy cats, go wash your hands first, the meal will be ready soon."
During dinner, the children ate with gusto. Lin Yuexi looked at their satisfied faces and felt very happy.
After dinner, Lin Yuexi helped the children wash up, told them a short story, and coaxed them to sleep.
Besides, Liu Cuihua followed Lin Yuexi for a whole day and found nothing, so she asked Lu Jianguo to watch at her door at night.
It was already November, and Lu Jianguo watched for the entire night but did not notice anyone entering or leaving Lin Yuexi's house, but he caught a cold instead.
There was no other way, so it was Li Xiuying's turn to keep watch at dawn.
Of course, Lin Yuexi knew that her mother-in-law and her family were following her, but she was not in a hurry. She still took out milk, braised pig's trotters, steamed buns, etc. from the space to feed the two little guys.
He also took out all the burning firewood from the stove, leaving the burnt charcoal, and some food for lunch, which he kept warm in a pot on the wood stove. He told the two children to close the door and play hopscotch at home.
In order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, he opened the windows of each room in the house a crack, and then walked to the back mountain of the village with a backpack on his back.
Li Xiuying followed Lin Yuexi closely, feeling both nervous and excited. She felt that she would soon uncover the secret of who Lin Yuexi was having an affair with.
Lin Yuexi seemed unaware of anything and walked briskly towards the mountain behind the village.
The road to the back mountain is not easy to walk on, it is winding and overgrown with weeds.
Lin Yuexi skillfully shuttled through the mountain paths, stopping from time to time as if looking for something.
Li Xiuying followed behind carefully, afraid that any noise would alarm Lin Yuexi.
After walking for a while, Lin Yuexi came to a relatively open grassland, dotted with some unknown small flowers.
She squatted down and began to pick the wild flowers, humming a little tune.
Li Xiuying hid behind a big tree, wondering, could it be that Lin Yuexi was just here to pick flowers? This seemed too ordinary.
After Lin Yuexi picked some flowers for a while, she stood up and continued to walk deeper into the forest. Li Xiuying could only bite the bullet and continue to follow.
Suddenly, Lin Yuexi stopped and stared at a big tree in front of her. Li Xiuying followed her gaze but found nothing.
Lin Yuexi walked slowly towards the big tree, walked around the tree, and then gently stroked the trunk with her hand.
Li Xiuying was getting a little impatient, but she didn't dare to act rashly. At this time, Lin Yuexi climbed up a small hill again.
The slope was quite steep, and Li Xiuying was panting as she climbed, while Lin Yuexi climbed as if it were flat ground.
At the top of the hill, Lin Yuexi stood there, facing the wind, with her arms open, as if embracing the entire forest.
Then, Lin Yuexi walked down the other side of the hillside and came to a stream.
She squatted down, scooped up stream water with her hands, and pretended to wash her face.
Li Xiuying hid behind a big rock and watched Lin Yuexi's every move. After Lin Yuexi washed her face, she sat on a rock by the stream, took out a small cloth bag from her backpack, took out a roast goose from it, and started eating.
The aroma of roast goose spread everywhere and Li Xiuying's stomach began to growl. She had been in a hurry to come out in the morning and had not had time to eat anything. The aroma of roast goose made her salivate.
But now she could only suppress her hunger and continue to stare at Lin Yuexi.
After Lin Yuexi finished eating the roast goose, she took out a pot of water from the backpack. In fact, it was spiritual spring water from the space, and she took a few big gulps.
After drinking, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she found some small stones by the stream and started fiddling with them on the ground, as if she was playing a simple game.
Li Xiuying felt more and more puzzled. She didn't understand what Lin Yuexi was doing.
Just when she was distracted, Lin Yuexi suddenly stood up, picked up the backpack, and walked in another direction.
Li Xiuying hurriedly followed, fearing that she would be lost.
Lin Yuexi took Li Xiuying around in the mountains and forests, sometimes walking on a flat path, and sometimes going into dense woods.
Li Xiuying felt that she had completely lost her way and could only stare at Lin Yuexi's back.
Lin Yuexi seemed to know this forest very well, and her steps never hesitated.
After walking for a long time, Lin Yuexi came to a cave. She stood in front of the cave and looked inside quietly.
Li Xiuying's heart was in her throat. She didn't know what was in the cave. Lin Yuexi stood in front of the cave for a while, then turned and left.
Li Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief, but she continued to follow.
As time passed, the sun gradually set and the light in the mountains and forests became dim.
Li Xiuying began to get a little scared, she didn't know how to get back. But she was unwilling to give up, so she had to bite the bullet and follow Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi didn't seem to have any intention of going back. She was still strolling in the forest, occasionally greeting the small animals on the roadside, as if she was the owner of this forest.
Li Xiuying's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and then Lin Yuexi's figure suddenly disappeared.
Li Xiuying walked around for a long time, exhausted and out of breath, but still lost the track!
Her heart was now filled with regret. If she had known earlier, she should not have followed Lin Yuexi. Now she was trapped in this forest and she didn't know what would happen.
But regret is regret, but you still have to move on!
Li Xiuying hurriedly looked for a way down the mountain, but after walking for a long time she still couldn't find the way.
Just when Lin Yuexi saw that Li Xiuying had almost been defeated, she slipped into the space and waited for Li Xiuying to look around for a way down the mountain.
Lin Yuexi flashed out of the space, took another path down the mountain, and returned home.
When it was completely dark, Lu Jianguo saw that there was light in Lin Yuexi's room, but his wife had not returned yet, so he panicked and asked people to go up the mountain to look for her.
Lu Jianguo asked several young men in the village to go up the mountain with torches and shout Li Xiuying's name loudly.
At this moment, Li Xiuying was wandering around in the mountains and couldn't find the way down the mountain. It happened that another male villager, Wang Xiaoming, went up the mountain to hunt.
Wang Xiaoming was not a bad person. When he saw Li Xiuying, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiuying, why are you here on the mountain..."
Li Xiuying was speechless and could only say, "I saw that the weather was good today, so I thought about going up the mountain to pick some mushrooms for cooking, but I didn't expect to get lost..."
Wang Xiaoming was a little puzzled. Where were the mushrooms in the mountains in November? Was Sister Xiuying crazy?
But as a villager, he was kind enough to take her down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, when they were walking downhill, Li Xiuying was hungry and tired after a whole day, and her walking was unsteady. She fell and sprained her foot.
