Ever since Wenxiu came to this world, it was not the first time that she had stepped into the forest. She was already familiar with the edges of the forest. Add to that the fact that she picked red dates with Song Xiaoyue, she understood the surrounding environment of the jujube forest. Hawthorn forest not far from the jujube forest, familiar road, easy to find.

The hawthorn forest was wild, and no one could say when it had been there. But the fruit was sour, and just thinking about it made her drool profusely. Who would have nothing to do with such a situation? Even if it was the original Wenxiu, a woman who had no one to rely on and brought her two children along, living a life of constant hunger and hardship, she had never come to pick red fruits to satisfy her hunger.

The villagers did not eat the red fruits, which gave Wen Xiu a chance to get rich. Only, it was already the middle of October, and the last moment for the hawthorn to mature, it was unknown just how many hawthorn stalks there were left in the forest that could still be eaten.

Wenxiu was very excited in her heart, but she was also very worried. As she thought, she unknowingly walked to the hawthorn forest. As far as the eye could see, under the moonlight, the hawthorn trees were spread out!

Wow, I made a profit!

Even though the hawthorn fruit was already ripe, there was still enough for ten days to half a month in this forest. It wasn't much, as long as she could sell it for ten days to half a month and earn more silver to supplement her family's income, she would be satisfied!

Hawthorn nuts ripened in the season between September and the end of October, and this was the last batch. Walking into the forest, one could see ripe fruits falling all over the floor. It was a very painful sight to behold. If this were to become a hawthorn snack, how much would it be worth?

It could not be said that Wenxiu was lucky, but it could not be said that it was bad either. She felt a pang in her heart for a moment, then she climbed up the tree and quickly picked it up. However, she was not successful. She had picked a few fruits in a row, and the fruits had all gone soft. Just as her hand touched the stem, the red fruit fell to the ground and even mischievously tumbled.

Wenxiu was not discouraged. While she pinched it, she took it off and threw it into the basket. Then, she directly let go of the soft part and looked for her next target. Although she came a bit late and the fruit was ripe, she was glad that the forest was big. She picked a small patch of forest and the basket on her back was finally full.

However, the sky was about to brighten!

"Whooosh."

Wen Xiu moved the heavy basket on her back, intending to return. She lowered her head and turned around. Then, she lifted her head and saw a trace of a white shadow floating on a tree not far away from her. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, and his ink-black hair hung down to his calves. His hair was disheveled, and his face could not be seen.

Duang!

In that instant, Wenxiu felt that his mind had gone blank. His breathing had also become heavier without him realizing it. His mind was muddled and his heart was anxious to death. What kind of situation was this?

Even though Wenxiu herself was a transcender, and the drama of how her soul was entrusted to her was the best example, she still did not believe in ghosts and gods. But in front of her, floating in the jujube tree, how to explain?

For some reason, she suddenly thought of what the Zhang clan had said about Old Man Li causing trouble and causing his death. Didn't that poor widow Dagny end up hanging from a tree in the jujube grove?

Grand Preceptor Xie's death was related to the Li family. In name, she was the Li family's daughter-in-law. If she came to pluck the red fruit and let Grand Preceptor Xie see herself, then the only explanation would be that she really hated the Li family!

Sigh, he was really unlucky!

After Wenxiu let her imagination run wild, she came to a conclusion in her heart. That was that she had really seen a ghost!

What the hell?

These three words were all that Wenxiu had described his miraculous encounters!

"Eh, where is he?"

After Wen Xiu anxiously came back to her senses, the white figure in front of her was nowhere to be seen. She tried to wipe her eyes and looked around again, but the white shadow did not appear.

Could it be that he met a fake ghost?

Wenxiu was actually afraid. She had entered the legendary haunted woods in the middle of the night and coincidentally saw the appearance of her 'master'. Her back was already soaked in cold sweat. As the night wind blew, she could not help but tremble.

"Xiu Niang!"

"Xiu Xiu!"

"Xiu Niang!"

"Xiu Xiu!"

Before Wen Xiu could recover from her shock, she heard a voice faintly calling her. Her mind went blank for a moment, and her heart became even more frightened. Did she really see a ghost? In the middle of the night, no one knew that she had come to the Red Fruit Forest. Who would come looking for her? Except...

Ah!

Wen Xiu could not help but scream out!

Completely overwhelmed with fear, Wen Xiu only had one thought in mind. That was to carry her basket and head home. From now on, she would no longer come to the forest alone in the middle of the night. It was too terrifying. However, just when she wanted to run home, her legs felt sore and she didn't have the slightest bit of strength.

Was she tired or frightened?

"Xiu Xiu!"

"Mother!"

"Xiu Niang!"

Another wave of shouts rang out. This time, the voices were much clearer. Not only did she hear her name being called, she also heard the sound of a tree.

Tree?

It's a tree!

When Wen Xiu heard her son's voice, she felt as if she had eaten a heavy burden. She became composed and shouted towards the direction that she had come from, "I'm here! I'm in the jujube forest! Tree! Mother! I'm in the jujube forest!"

Soon, Wang Yanqing, Song Xiaoyue, and the tree that wanted to look for her mother came to the jujube forest with a torch. They saw Wen Xiu, who was carrying a basket on her back but had yet to enter even a single step.

"Mother!"

The tree let go of Song Xiaoyue's hand and ran towards Wen Xiu, throwing itself into her mother's embrace. After that, he called out 'mother' over and over again, as if he had never called her enough no matter what.

While Wenxiu and Tree spoke, Wang Yanqing and Song Xiaoyue also approached. The couple looked at the basket full of red fruits on Wenxiu's back with complicated feelings. These things couldn't even be eaten. What was she thinking by coming here to pick them in the middle of the night?

"Xiu Niang, why did you come here alone in the middle of the night?" You didn't come across anything that you shouldn't have, did you? " When Song Xiaoyue asked this question, her body trembled uncontrollably.

Wang Yanqing did not ask for the reason, but immediately mentioned it was safe, "Wenxiu, it's too dangerous for you to come to the forest alone. Besides, if you leave the tree and the Tong Tong at home, it will be very dangerous for him to come and find us in the middle of the night. "From now on, don't ever do this again."

"Mother!"

Tree's hands were tightly holding onto Wen Xiu's waist. His head was buried in her embrace, never leaving her. Heaven knows how scared he was when he opened his eyes and didn't see his mother sleeping by his side.

"Xiu Niang, are you alright?"

For some reason, she felt that something was wrong with her, but she couldn't put her finger on it. It was purely her own feeling. However, it was so strong!

When Wen Xiu thought of Bai Ying'er, she felt a lingering fear. She looked at Song Xiaoyue and shook her head. Then she said to Wang Yanqing, "Fifth Brother Wang, my legs are weak. Can you help me carry her?"
