The sudden heavy rain did not stop until the next morning.

Due to the heavy rain, Hu Jiyong and his companions were not able to enter the mountain smoothly, because the road into the mountain had been washed away by the rain before they arrived.

As a last resort, the two could only wait until dawn, until the rain stopped, then they found someone, brought tools, and dug the road into the mountain again.

In order to find An Xiao, except for the old man and the children, all the people in the village went into the mountains together and scattered everywhere to search for her traces.

However, the manpower is limited, and the scope of the search is huge, and it took a whole morning, and everyone failed to find half of An Xiao's shadow.

During the lunch break, Hu Jiyong sat on a big rock, still holding half a pancake in his hand, and after taking a bite, somehow, his nose suddenly became sore, and then he took his fist and smashed it on his head.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! What kind of mountain should you let her in? If she can't find her, how can I explain it to her family? ”

"Lao Hu, I don't blame you for this, the weather here is already changeable, and it is purely a coincidence that there is a heavy rain, you, don't blame yourself anymore!"

Together with Hu Jiyong is the village chief of Boa Village, who is in his fifties and can be regarded as his best friend.

Seeing Hu Jiyong blaming himself so much, the village chief quickly grabbed him and beat his hand, and then comforted him.

"That's what I said, but I ......" Hu Jiyong wanted to speak and stopped, and finally turned into a sigh, "I knew that this was the case, I might as well be happy, and just accept her as an apprentice!" ”

"Now you can figure it out, it's not too late," the village chief finished eating the dry food in his hand, patted Hu Jiyong's shoulder, and then stood up, "That girl seems to be a blessed person, she won't be so prone to accidents, and when you find her, it's not too late to take her as an apprentice." ”

"I hope so," Hu Jiyong also stood up, "If she can be found intact this time, I will accept her as an apprentice!" ”

"Master, are you serious?"

"Who? Who's talking? ”

Hu Jiyong was about to continue searching the mountain with the village chief, but suddenly there was a voice of someone talking nearby, and the two immediately turned around to check, but they didn't see anyone.

"Looks like I'm hallucinating in a hurry, there's not even a ghost nearby, how can I still hear that girl's voice?"

After speaking, Hu Jiyong shook his head and planned to continue walking.

"Master, it's not an illusion! I'm right here, you see, I'm right here! ”

The familiar voice came again, but the two still couldn't find the figure, and Hu Jiyong's heart unconsciously panicked.

"Ann...... An Xiao? You...... Is it a human or a ghost? How do I ...... Why can't I see you? ”

"Master, of course I'm human! Is it a ghost, can I still show up during the day? I'm right under the big rock behind you, and you can see me when you walk around and look down!" ”

When Hu Jiyong heard this, he returned to the big stone where he was sitting before with the village chief, looked down, and still couldn't see a shadow.

"Nobody, where the hell are you talking, how can I ......"

Hu Jiyong and the village chief were looking down, but suddenly felt someone slapping their back.

The two of them looked behind at the same time, almost scared to death.

"Ann...... An Xiao? How did you get this look? You're ......"

An Xiao, who was standing in front of the two, was embarrassed, his clothes and face were all covered with mud, if it weren't for those blinking eyes, they would probably think that they had bumped into a ghost in broad daylight.

"I've been crawling and rolling in this mountain all night, how can I not carry a little mud on my body? But Master, you and the village chief, I just said twice that I was under that big rock, and you haven't been able to see me yet, so why can't you see me in such an obvious location? ”

An Xiao pointed behind him with some annoyance, and Hu Jiyong and the village chief realized that there was really a big stone above the road when they came, much bigger than the one next to them!
