Floating to your side (3)

"Cause and effect?" Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and shook the jade pendant in her hand, "Xiaotang, you probably watched too many ghost movies. This is just an ordinary piece of jade. How can it have a past life or a present life?"

As she spoke, she asked Shen Tang if he wanted the jade. After Shen Tang shook his head, Liu Ling quickly stuffed the jade back into her pocket.

No matter what, this jade is worth some money, so it's better to take it away than leave it here.

Seeing Liu Ling put the jade into her pocket, Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief. She had just seen wisps of black air coming out of the jade. It seemed that after the dirt was moved away, the male protagonist felt that his possession had been moved, and was about to come out of the jade pendant.

However, Shen Tang ignored the slowly rising black gas. What happened to the male protagonist had nothing to do with her after all. The only thing she had to do was to help the female protagonist send the male protagonist to reincarnation.

"It seems that we did gain something on this trip. Look, we can pick up a piece of jade even when walking in the temple," Liu Ling said while she carefully observed the area near the dry well several times. After confirming that there were no other treasures, she retracted her gaze. "It seems that this jade was just thrown here by chance. There is nothing good around it. Xiaotang, we have almost finished picking up firewood. Why don't we go back and join them now!"

Shen Tang looked at Liu Ling's face, not knowing why he felt a strong sense of disharmony. Based on the heroine's personality, it seemed that she didn't value the baby that much, right?

But she quickly shook her head again. The role of the heroine in this mission world was taken over by someone else, so it was not impossible that she was influenced by the successor.

"Okay," Shen Tang said lightly. Seeing Liu Ling grabbing a handful of dry firewood and walking back along the same path, she paused for a while and looked for the hairpin on the spot.

She walked to the place where she found the pin during the last mission, and pulled away the weeds to check, but she still couldn't find the pin. Could it be that the pin had moved again?

When Shen Tang wanted to reach out and look for it again, Liu Ling turned around and called her, "Xiao Tang, what are you still doing? Let's go back quickly and don't keep them waiting anxiously!"

"Yeah," Shen Tang had no choice but to agree and retract his hand. It seemed that he could only continue to look for the hairpin when he came back here next time.

Shen Tang stood up quickly, carrying his backpack, and walked towards the smiling girl not far away, "Let's go."

The two of them walked back along the original route. Since they were both carrying amulets, no A Piao should be around them, but Shen Tang carefully discovered that many A Piao were slowly approaching Liu Ling's pocket containing the jade, and some even stretched out their gray hands to touch the pocket.

Fortunately, when Ah Piao's hand actually touched the other person's pocket, Shen Tang pulled the person forward and avoided the touch of the soul, so Liu Ling was not scared by Ah Piao.

"What, what's wrong?" Liu Ling, who was suddenly pulled forward by the girl behind her, looked at her blankly, thinking that she had done something wrong, but Shen Tang's expression was still cold and indifferent, and she did not explain. Liu Ling could only pout helplessly and continue walking back.

The two walked for a long time without speaking, until they returned to the camping site, Shen Tang put down the firewood in his hand, and his eyes fell calmly on Liu Ling who had also put the firewood away. I don't know when Wen Ting will choose to come out, but according to Ah Piao's personality, it is most likely at night. I just hope Liu Ling will not be scared by him.

A group of people set up the tent and slowly spread the food and drinks in the car outside. Shen Tang and Liu Ling then walked over to the group and sat down to eat.

"Xiaoling, you and Mu Tang are familiar with each other, so you two can sleep in the same tent tonight." The person in charge saw Shen Tang and Liu Ling sitting together. She didn't know Shen Tang very well, so she turned her eyes to Liu Ling who was sitting next to Shen Tang.

Liu Ling nodded while chewing her sandwich. "No problem, no problem. Xiaotang and I are roommates. It's perfect for us to be together."

Shen Tang listened to them motionlessly, her long bangs covering her eyes, making it difficult to see her sight. But no one noticed that the jade that had been in Liu Ling's pocket had moved outward at some point.

At first Shen Tang thought she had made a mistake, but after rubbing her eyes, she found that the jade was closer to the edge of her pocket than before.

She pursed her lips, moved inconspicuously towards Liu Ling, and pushed the jade back into her pocket with her long fingertips.

Why is this male protagonist so restless?

After Shen Tang pushed the jade back this time, Liu Ling's pocket finally stopped moving. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the lawn, listening to the chat of the group of people in front of her, while waiting for the night to fall.

Only at night, perhaps the hero will come out of this jade.

After eating something to fill her stomach, Shen Tang sat quietly in a seat far from the crowd, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the countryside and the group of Ah Piao floating slowly in the sky. The cold air gradually approached Shen Tang. At first, Shen Tang thought that the group of Ah Piao came to her again to ask her for help, but she didn't expect that this time it was not the case. The target of these wandering souls was not her, but Liu Ling who was beside her.

They seemed very interested in what was in Liu Ling's pocket.

Shen Tang stared at the group of Ah Piao in astonishment, and he didn't quite understand what they were thinking. The jade was at best just a possession of the male protagonist, and there was no benefit for them to get close to it, or was this a mutual attraction between two evil objects?

The group of Ah Piao stayed around Liu Ling for so long that the other members of the club were frozen by the sudden air-conditioning and sneezed. They rubbed their noses and said they should quickly build a fire to warm themselves up.

It was not until everyone started a fire that the group of Ah Piao retreated back in fear of the flames and no longer approached Liu Ling.

This situation lasted until the night. Shen Tang's body didn't like to interact with people. She would stay alone in a corner for half a day. Liu Ling was the opposite. She was gentle, kind, and eloquent. She was very likable. Shen Tang waited for a long time before the heroine felt sleepy and wanted to sleep in the tent. After she saw that the people around her had entered their tents one after another, she carefully stepped on the grass and got into the tent.

"Xiaotang, I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to sleep first. If you're not sleepy, you can count the stars outside and you'll fall asleep quickly."

Liu Ling spoke in a daze and quickly lay down under the quilt. The outer garment with the jade on it was placed crookedly on the side of her body, and she soon began to snore softly.

Shen Tang looked at her seriously, then sat beside her and watched.

She thought that Wen Ting would definitely show up tonight. After all, Liu Ling had brought him back from the ancient temple, and even if this soul was careless, it would be impossible for it not to realize that its possession had been taken away.

Thinking about this, Shen Tang came out of the tent again.

The night wind was cool and a little humid. Shen Tang sat outside, staring quietly at the flames in front of him, and warmed his hands over them.

"Do you want to paint?" A faint voice suddenly came from behind Shen Tang. At first she thought that a member of the club had woken up, so she shook her head without paying much attention.

However, the next moment, a drawing board was placed in front of Shen Tang. She frowned and whispered, "I don't want to draw."

As he said this, he pushed the drawing board away with his hand, but the next moment the drawing board was moved back to its original place.

"No, you are obviously bored," the voice sounded a little depressed, "You have been here alone for half a day, you must be bored. I have been in this countryside for a long time and I feel bored. How can you stand loneliness so well?"

Shen Tang was already a little impatient, and was thinking that if this person kept talking to her again, she would gag him and throw him into the tent, but she didn't expect that this string of strange words would freeze her in place. Shen Tang moved her head a little bit, and finally turned her sight to the location behind her where the sound came from, but when she turned her head, there was nothing behind her.

The drawing board also fell to the ground with a sound, and the sound startled Liu Ling in the tent.

Startled by the noise outside, Liu Ling got up dazedly, poked her head out and rubbed her eyes, "Xiaotang, go to bed quickly. If you want to paint, talk about it tomorrow. We still have plenty of time."

Shen Tang stared at the drawing board that fell to the ground and looked into the tent strangely.

Could it be that guy's doing?

After Liu Ling shrank back into the tent, Shen Tang slowly moved closer to the tent and leaned over to look at the coat that Liu Ling had placed on the side.

She reached out and simply hooked her coat, and the jade inside was still there.

Could it be that the sound just now was made by some guy from the suburbs who came over to scare her?

Shen Tang pursed her lips, looked out at the blank drawing board, and finally returned to the tent to continue waiting. The time on Shen Tang's watch ticked by, and the night was about to pass, but she didn't even see the shadow of Wen Ting. Could it be that this guy didn't plan to show up tonight?

She slowly lay down in her seat, supporting her head with her hands. If Wen Ting didn't plan to show up, she would have to have a good sleep.

After waiting for another two hours, Shen Tang could no longer hold on. Her eyelids were twitching and her body could no longer bear it. She finally fell into a deep sleep.

But she had just woken up, and the jade stone that had been inside Liu Ling's coat moved out little by little, and finally came to Shen Tang's side.

As if it felt it was too slow, the jade changed its previous movement pattern and rolled directly towards Shen Tang's cheek. Finally, it stopped beside the girl's hand and carefully pressed into her palm.

"You are so beautiful, but you treat me like a ball and kick me around. How rude!" A soft voice echoed around them, but Shen Tang was in a deep sleep and didn't hear anything.

The blurry shadow chuckled, then slowly extended a pair of hands towards the sleeping girl's face.
