Old Lu looked at Shi Lei gratefully, then smiled and said, "Actually, I can tell that you're a good person."

Shi Lei nodded, thanking Old Lu for his praise.

"But you better not get involved in this matter. You only have two options left."

Old Lu looked at Shi Lei with sincerity, then said: "Either that, or you keep this monkey by your side the whole time. According to what happened back then, maybe if you stayed by your side the whole time, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shi Lei laughed and said: "What about the other result?"

"You know that."

Old Lu smiled awkwardly, then said, "I think you know what you're going to do."

Actually, this question was not difficult for Shi Lei.

That night in the forest, Shi Lei had already promised that he would bring along the Little Monkey until the day it truly matured.

In reality, what he was facing now was this choice. Even if the choice he had been given was the opposite, Shi Lei would still choose to bring the Little Monkey with him in the end.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'll bring it with me for the rest of my life."

Shi Lei laughed, and Old Lu seemed to understand Shi Lei's choice, so he did not say much, and only asked Shi Lei to take care of his body.

Old Lu only knew this much. Although many things still happened in this county, the ones that were truly related to Nine Links Mountain did not say much.

"If there's a chance, I'll definitely come over to take a look. I want to find out what's going on!"

Old Lu looked at Shi Lei in shock and said: "You're preparing to leave now?"

"En, there isn't much use staying here anymore. Therefore, it is better not to waste time here. It is better to take advantage of the matter at home and go take a look myself."

Shi Lei walked to Old Lu's side. He had wanted to hug him for a while, after all, they had talked for such a long time, but when he thought about the "curse in his blood", he felt uncomfortable.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Lei finally chose to laugh and leave.

"Alright, be careful on your way back. Be careful."

Old Lu laughed and waved his hand.

After returning from Old Lu's side, Shi Lei had a better understanding of Nine Links Mountain. Maybe, behind this mountain, there was a hidden secret.

However, this kind of thing didn't hold much meaning to the current Shi Lei. One must know that his own strength still wasn't enough, and he still had Chinese Medicine Competition at his side, as well as the world's Healer's competition that was waiting for him. He really couldn't be distracted.

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei who had just returned and said, "You're back? "How was the harvest?"

"Not bad, I just heard a few stories. It's not much of a gain."

Speaking to here, Shi Lei looked in the direction of the Little Monkey intentionally or not, and felt that it was a little strange.

He could see very clearly from the forest. If those monkeys had come down from Nine Links Mountain, they could only have come down from that forest.

However, after the incident with the Macaque, almost all of the animals in the entire forest came to see them off. Shi Lei didn't even see a single monkey.

In other words, the Little Monkey that was currently standing in front of him was probably the last one.

To be honest, Shi Lei was a little regretful that he did not properly ask it about all of these things.

However, there was no point in thinking about it now. He could only take things one step at a time.

He looked at Little Monkey and laughed: "Do you know if there are other monkeys in the forest?"

It was unknown if the Little Monkey understood Shi Lei's words, but it smiled at the start, but in the end, it shook its head, as if it was replying to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei thought about it, and knew that he wouldn't be able to find out anything more from the Little Monkey, so he could only give up in the end.

"You're leaving?"

Seeing Shi Lei's expression, Hua Rou had already realized something.

"Right, where does your family live?"

Shi Lei raised his head and asked.

Hua Rou didn't think that Shi Lei would ask such a question, but her expression showed a little hesitation, as if she had finally understood something. She looked at Shi Lei and said: "Even if my home said it, you wouldn't be able to find it. Tell me your address, maybe I will look for you when I have time in the future."

After spending so much time with Hua Rou, Shi Lei had a different feeling in his heart as well. He still remembered the first time he saw Hua Rou, he felt that she wasn't very pretty.

Now that he was about to leave, his heart was really … He was reluctant to part with it.

Shi Lei laughed, scratched his head and said: "Actually, if it wasn't about the Chinese Medicine Competition, I really wouldn't be willing to leave so quickly. Honestly speaking, I still want to properly investigate the secrets of Nine Links Mountain, it's too enticing."

Not only were there many secrets from Hua Tuo's legendary Medical Sage, Shi Lei had to think about them.

"Chinese Medicine Competition?"

Hua Rou suddenly laughed, "It's fine. We might still have a chance to meet in the future."

Shi Lei did not think too much about the meaning behind Hua Rou's words. He only laughed bitterly a few times, and then said: "Alright, I think we should meet again."

Hua Rou nodded and did not say anything else.

Although they had to leave, they still had to take the same train back. As usual, it was a soft sleeper and a few days passed. However, they were about to part and felt that a few days were going to pass too quickly.

"Do you have anything to say?"

As Hua Rou was packing up her things, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Shi Lei.

"What do you want to say?"

Shi Lei also didn't know what he should say at this time. He wanted to say it out loud, but he felt that if he really said it out loud, he might not be able to say it for an entire day and night.

The words that he wanted to say lingered around his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he was unable to say them out. Shi Lei could only swallow them down with difficulty, then he smiled and said: "Nothing, I just wish you a pleasant journey and give you your address. You can find me anytime, and also, this is my phone number."

Shi Lei really wanted to give all the things he had in his bag to Hua Rou. Even the handwritten copy of《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic》, which Shi Lei had already copied last night, was placed in Hua Rou's bag.

"No matter what, I am very happy to be able to meet you on this trip."

Shi Lei snickered.

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei and stated word by word, "Me too, thank you."
