Chapter 29 The Most Familiar Stranger

When Erchun came to call me, I thought it was Chi Lishu who had something to say to me, but when I rushed to the room excitedly, I only heard this sentence.

She didn't even look at me during the whole process.

Xue Rui and the witch's grandmother agreed to her request, and then Chi Lishu told them that they did not need their company.

Regarding this, the witch expressed strong opposition. She told Chi Lishu that the present is different from the past. The situation outside is very complicated now. If you go north, you will not only encounter the military government, but also warlords, resistance troops, drug lords, black witch monks hiding in the forest, and various surrenders.

No matter who it is, it is not something that she can afford to be troubled by who has never been out and has no ability to adapt.

However, Chi Lishu seemed very persistent.

She told the opposing witch grandmother that the reason why she wanted to go north was to regain the memory of the vanishing that year and once again felt that as a "person", as for the issue of safety, she felt that it was not very important.

Although she was not as strong as Chi Limei who went north and went all the way back then, her strength was still enough. In addition to the memories left by Chi Limei, she could continue to practice in the process.

Maybe when she reaches the end, she can already surpass herself.

The two were in a stalemate. Later, Chi Lishu simply closed her eyes and did not intend to communicate with the witch grandmother.

She used silence to fight.

At this moment, Xue Rui came out to smooth things over. She didn't say much, but just put forward a suggestion that was very surprising.

She suggested that I accompany Chi Lishu through this long road.

Her reason is very high-sounding. The memory that Chi Lishu carries is actually an old antique almost a hundred years ago. In the past century of vicissitudes and changes, many things have changed a lot. If you want to leave and want to pass by alone, you may not be able to cross the border.

If Chi Lishu insists on leaving and does not want their company to affect balance, it is better to bring Lu Yan with her and help her run errands along the way.

Finally, Xue Rui told Chi Lishu that Lu Yan didn't know anything at all. He just entered the industry and did not bring any other things, so you don't have to worry about whether it would be different from memory.

After thinking for a long time, Chi Lishu finally nodded and said yes.

After saying this, she closed her eyes and ignored us.

Grandma of the Witch, Xue Rui and Erchun stood up, followed me, and the four of them walked to the yard outside. Grandma of the Witch said to Xue Rui with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you agree with her whim? What should I do if something happens on the road? I have lost my sister and cannot lose it again."

Hearing the complaints of the witch, Xue Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "Mother-in-law, if I can stop it, I wouldn't want it, but look at her now, do you seem to be able to stop it?"

The witch and grandma were silent and said that even if I couldn't stop her, I could still follow her, so I could have some care.

Xue Rui shook his head and said that the reason why my sister wanted to go north again was to regain her memory, and to experience the various aspects of life in this world truly, so she would never agree to anyone between you and me to follow. You can't see this!

Grandma the witch became a little angry and pointed at my nose and said that this is the reason why you asked this little brat who doesn’t know much about the bullshit to accompany her?

Xue Rui looked at the excited witch grandmother and was silent for a while.

She waited for the witch grandmother to speak a little more, and then she spoke, saying, "Mother-in-law, I know you are dissatisfied with the people of Dunzhai Miao Gu, but it is undeniable that the reason why her sister was able to wake up again was that she still had nostalgia for this world; and I don't know what this nostalgia is, but I can feel that she still has a little affection for Lu Yan.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Lu Yan follow him.

The witch and grandma looked at me in disgust and said, "So what?"

Xue Rui pointed at me and said that Lu Yan is actually good. He treats his sister well, but he is a little anxious and has no experience. As we discussed before, if my sister can fall in love, perhaps this is the fundamental way to make her truly stable.

The witch grandmother seemed to be persuaded by Xue Rui, and she did not speak anymore, but kept looking at me with those glasses.

Her eyes were like laser light, which made me feel weak in my heart.

After a long time, she said to me fiercely: "Lu Yan, I'm leaving it to you. If you do something that is sorry to her, I will be the first to spare you. No matter where you run, I will twist your head off, do you know?"

Facing this old lady who looked like a mother-in-law, I really didn't know what to say, I just nodded and said yes, I got it.

In fact, I have been complaining about this in my heart, why haven’t you ever asked me for my opinion?

No matter how you say it, you are asking for help. Why do you always feel like I should agree and don’t even give me the right to refuse?

Of course, I just thought about it this way and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Because I was worried that once I spoke, I would be beaten so much that even my mother would not recognize me.

The witch and grandmother left angrily, while Erchun covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Young brother, you are so happy that you have come back to your beauty." But the road to wedding is long, so you can walk slowly, so I will go back and report first."

I was surprised and said, "I am from a foreign country, why can't you leave me behind Erchun?"

Erchun spread his hands helplessly and said, "Didn't you hear it just now? The girl only agreed to let you follow you, but I can't. I can't say that I'm working as a nanny with you all the way, right?" Besides, I'm happy, the girl may not be happy either?"

She smiled and said, "You really think a big girl will fall from the sky and pick it up for you for free. If you don't make trouble, you will be exhausted. How could you marry her home?"

She clapped her hands and handed me back the items that she asked Xue Rui to hand over to her when I entered the pool.

She stretched and went back to the room to sleep.

The witch and grandma and Erchun both left, but Xue Rui stayed.

She motioned me to sit on the stone bench in front of the yard, while she sat opposite me, and said with a relaxed expression: "Why, I feel like you are not very satisfied with our arrangement?"

I don’t know if it’s because of her gentle smile, but I have a strong sense of intimacy with Xue Rui.

I was still tense in front of the witch and Erchun before, but now I relaxed a little. I finally told the truth, saying that I was not unwilling to accompany her to the north, but as you said, I am now without any ability. If I encounter anything on the road, I may not be able to help, but become a burden.

Xue Rui nodded and said that if you can think so, it means you are still interested.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Where is it, I'm just worried about getting rid of the matter."

Xue Rui waved her hand and said no. Before the girl woke up, I was actually reflecting that your approach might not be wrong. After all, letting her live in falsehood and fantasy will not help cultivating her independent personality. If you take advantage of her trance and take over her body, this is something we cannot tolerate. From this perspective, you are a gentleman, and because of this, I would suggest you to walk with you just now.

I lowered my head and smiled, thinking that if you knew how the blood-gathering Gu came from in my body, you wouldn't think so.

Perhaps, the reason why I am like Liu Xiahui is just to cherish Chi Lishu's innocence.

This is the best thing, I don't want to ruin her.

Xue Rui continued to answer my questions, saying that you will definitely encounter various problems along the way, but don’t worry, although my girl has just been born, she is very innate and has a strong foundation. Ordinary people can’t do anything to her. Even a famous master may not be able to control you. As for your opponent who is really unlucky, you can call Lao Liao and he will report it to me.

She acted very calmly and said that when you can't solve everything, call me and I'll help you settle it.

Xue Rui has always been low-key, but when he says this, he is very domineering.

It can be felt that Xue Rui's status in the world is actually very high.

After Xue Rui explained some relevant matters that should be paid attention to on the road, he solemnly asked me and said that along the way, in addition to taking good care of her, I hope you can cultivate an independent personality for her.

I asked what to do, Xue Rui smiled slightly and said, "I don't know this, I can only rely on you to explore it yourself."

That night, I tossed and turned, but I couldn't sleep, and I was worried. I didn't fall asleep until three or four o'clock in the morning. The next day, Erchun got up very early. After cooking breakfast for us, I packed my luggage and prepared to set off.

Erchun and I have a different road. She will return to the border city of Daqili on the junction of Thailand and Myanmar, and then take a plane back to China.

As for me, with the farewell of everyone, I followed Chi Lishu onto the north forest with a large bag and a small bag. In the next time, we will travel through the entire tropical rainforest of Myanmar, and then step by step, following the route of Chi Limei's marching back then, heading north all the way.

Everyone sent us more than ten miles away, then turned around and left, leaving only Chi Lishu and I.

Along the way, she didn't say a word, and didn't even look at me.

She treated me like a stranger.
