Looking at Ji Shuangshuang's leaving figure, Xiaoqiu painfully hugged herself and squatted on the ground. The tears in her eyes could not help but slide down.

"Hmm, what are you crying for? That woman is stronger than a wild beast and more terrifying. You should worry about those wild beasts instead of her!"

Seeing how sad Xiaoqiu was crying, the white snake could not help but console him.

When Xiaoqiu heard the white snake's words, she let out a "puchi" and laughed. In that instant, there was no longer any feeling of sadness in her heart.

Xiaoqiu extended two fingers and grabbed the white snake's neck. Of course, that was if it was called its neck.

"You little thing, my sister treated you so well for nothing, and you still said that to her behind her back. Seeing that my sister came back, I told her that you were saying that to her behind her back. I think when we get back, my sister will throw you into a pot of boiling water!"

The white snake rolled its eyes, who exactly was heartless? It comforted the little girl out of good intentions, it would be scolded later on and even threatened to throw it into the pot to boil.

The more the white snake thought about it, the more frustrated it became. However, it couldn't be bothered to fuss about it with a little girl.

On this side, Ji Shuangshuang went back down the mountain alone. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid.

The dense forest and shrubs caused the moonlight to become dimmer. Although it was not to the point where one could not see one's own fingers, one could still not see them clearly from ten steps away.

With a "Zhi Ya" sound, Ji Shuangshuang was shocked.

Lowering his head to look, she saw that it was actually a branch that had been broken from a stomp, and only now did Ji Shuangshuang feel her heart beating so fast, to the point that she felt that it wasn't normal.

Only now did she realise that she was too nervous. Taking a few deep breaths, Ji Shuangshuang tried her best to calm herself down.

Although she had to maintain a constant vigilance, it would not be a good thing if she was too vigilant and nervous. Furthermore, she had basically followed the same route she had come from, and would not be so dangerous unless something unexpected happened.

But if she was too nervous, it was possible to misjudge, which could lead to danger.

After thinking of this point, Ji Shuangshuang finally relaxed and felt a chill on her head.

Reaching out to wipe the cold sweat on her hand, Ji Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh. This was truly a mistake from the dark!

After relaxing his mind, Ji Shuangshuang's footsteps became faster and faster. Not long later, he reached the foot of the mountain, which meant that there was no more danger.

Ji Shuangshuang didn't have to worry about anything else as she immediately started jogging.

After returning back into the house, Ji Shuangshuang only had enough time to spread the herbs in the center of the house, then she carried the basket on her back again.

He also took out two cloth parcels from the cupboard. There was a reason to take the parcels, and when Ji Shuangshuang just left, she took a look at the remaining herbs on the mountain. There were even more than the ones she had brought.

Looking back, these two baskets definitely weren't enough and weren't worth another trip, so she took two more bags. Thinking that if she carried two more bags in front of her chest, she should be able to finish it.

With two baskets on her back, she ran down the mountain without stopping. Ji Shuangshuang felt like her throat was going to burst out with smoke, and her body still had not reacted.

Ji Shuangshuang did not rush to set off, but sat by the table. After resting for a while, she drank a few more cups of tea before setting off.

The way back was a little easier, since he did not have two baskets of medicinal herbs left. Ji Shuangshuang felt that her footsteps were much lighter.

Xiaoqiu was waiting for him at the same place, but she had not seen him even after waiting for a long time.

He even wanted to go down the mountain and look for Ji Shuangshuang himself, so how could the white snake let her go down?

Furthermore, a weak little girl like Xiaoqiu would only be throwing her life away if she continued down the mountain. Under the threat and advice of the white snake, Xiaoqiu finally gave up on the idea of going down the mountain.

After walking around for a while, Xiaoqiu's mind was in a mess. She had no choice but to find something for him to do, otherwise, she would really go crazy.

Although she didn't have a basket to store the medicinal ingredients in, Xiaoqiu thought that since Big Sis would be back in a while anyway, so she would just stack the ingredients together and wait for Big Sis to come back before putting them in the basket.

Thus, Xiaoqiu squatted on the ground and began to gather the herbs herself. Once she started to do something, time would fly by very quickly.

Unknowingly, Xiaoqiu had already harvested a pile of medicinal herbs. However, she still had not returned. Just as Xiaoqiu was feeling extremely anxious, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

Xiaoqiu was immediately excited. Had her sister returned? She immediately wanted to run in the direction of the sound.

However, the white snake suddenly stopped her, "Don't be busy, there's something wrong with your voice and smell."

Xiaoqiu was a little suspicious. What was wrong with that?

However, she knew about the abilities of white snake, so she didn't refute or hesitate. Xiaoqiu obediently followed the white snake to hide at the side, waiting for the footsteps to get closer.

One step, two steps, three steps. The figure finally approached.

Xiaoqiu was surprised to find that the person who came was not Ji Shuangshuang, but a man who had no impression of him. He walked to the pile of herbs that Xiaoqiu had collected and looked at it for a long time, but there was no reaction.

Xiaoqiu also hid in the darkness, not daring to make the slightest sound, as she was afraid of being discovered by this man.

She was almost certain that he was not a person from their village, nor from the village next door. There was no way he could dress up like that.

Although Xiaoqiu did not have much experience, but this bit of power did not go unnoticed. This man was very dangerous, if he was discovered, the only thing that awaited him would be death.

Suddenly, Xiaoqiu thought of Ji Shuangshuang who hadn't come yet. Could it be that this Big Sister also met this man, that's why …

No, no, absolutely not. Xiaoqiu was very confident in Ji Shuangshuang's ability, even if she couldn't beat him, running was definitely not a problem.

However, if his sister hadn't met him just now but had immediately rushed over to find him, then he would be in danger.

Thinking about this, Xiaoqiu could not help but pray inside, Ji Shuangshuang came a bit late.

Unfortunately, Ji Shuangshuang was already worried that Xiaoqiu would be alone on the mountain. Since she was delayed at home for a while, she purposely increased her pace when she went up the mountain.

Very quickly, Ji Shuangshuang arrived under a tree near here. Fortunately, Ji Shuangshuang was still on her guard at all times, and she saw the figure of the person before him from a very far distance.

She didn't rush over recklessly, instead, she quietly hid behind a tree to observe this black clothed man.

After discovering that Xiaoqiu was not in his possession, Ji Shuangshuang finally relaxed a little.

Fortunately, as long as Xiaoqiu was not in his hands, then when she took action later on, she would not have to think too much about it.

When he spotted a spot of darkness in the corner of his eye, Ji Shuangshuang's eyes flashed a trace of understanding. As expected, Xiaobai had hidden Xiaoqiu well!
