Ever since Shang'er had probed Ah Bu previously, Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix had been very curious about Ah Bu's background even though they didn't say anything. Hence, when Huang Fuchen brought Ah Bu back, they shamelessly followed behind.
The bamboo house that Huang Fuchen lived in was in the forest. Even with Ah Bu, his place was very quiet. With Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix here, it immediately became lively. No matter where he went, he could hear Fire Phoenix talking to Ah Bu.
Although Ah Bu didn't say a word.
"Can you be quiet?" Mingxi was annoyed by Fire Phoenix's voice and couldn't help but ask him to shut up.
"Then you make her talk." Fire Phoenix pointed at Ah Bu.
Huangfu Chen, who was sunning the herbs, said helplessly, "Ah Bu can't speak."
Fire Phoenix and Mingxi exchanged glances.
"Sir, where did you see Ah Bu?" Ming Xi asked with a smile, his face innocent and unaffected.
"In the deep mountains over there. I found her when I went to pick herbs." Huangfu Chen pointed at the towering mountains in front of them.
It was basically deep in the mountains. Fire Phoenix looked at Huangfu Chen in surprise. "You found Ah Bu in a place like that. Don't you have any doubts about her background?"
"Yes." Huangfu Chen nodded. How could he not have doubts? "But she lost her memory and can't speak. I couldn't just watch her die."
"Sir …" Mingxi squatted in front of Huangfu Chen and looked at him. "What did she look like when you saw her? What was she wearing? Was she injured? "
Huang Fuchen slowly lifted his eyes and looked into Ming Xi's red and black eyes. "Mm."
That wasn't the truth!
Mingxi could tell from Huangfu Chen's flickering eyes that something was wrong. He stood up with a smile. "Alright."
"Are you asking so many questions because you think Ah Bu's background is suspicious? What do you know? "Huangfu Chen asked calmly.
"No, I'm just curious." Ming Xi smiled and said, "Kids are all curious."
Huang Fuchen stood up with the herbs and looked down at Ming Xi. He used to be Ming Xi's teacher and knew that this child's personality was different from other children. Ming Xi had been smart and steady since he was young. He wasn't someone who would get to the bottom of things just because he was curious. Could it be that his personality had completely changed after he went to other places in the past four years?
"Mingxi, what have you been doing all these years?" Huangfu Chen asked.
"Nothing much." Ming Xi had an innocent look on his face. "Sir, if there's nothing else, we'll go look for Ah Bu."
Ming Xi pulled Fire Phoenix's hand and walked out of the fence. Ah Bu was in a small lake nearby.
"Mr. Huangfu is lying." Fire Phoenix whispered to Ming Xi.
"I know, when he saw Abdo, Abdo definitely wasn't like this." Ming Xi turned around and glanced at Huangfu Chen. Just now, when he asked about how he looked like when he first met Ah Jing, although he hid it well, his eyes still flickered.
Fire Phoenix frowned and said, "I didn't feel any spiritual power from Ah Bu's body. If it wasn't for Jin Er … I wouldn't have noticed anything strange about her."
Ming Xi pointed to the highest mountain peak, "Let's go there and take a look."
"Should we bring Ah Bu along?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"No." Ming Xi shook his head lightly and walked towards the lake.
There were many fish in the small lake near the bamboo hut. Ming Xi remembered that Huangfu Chen used to love eating fish, but he hadn't seen him eat fish since he stayed in the bamboo hut for two days.
Ah Bu stood by the lake and picked up small stones. She seemed to be afraid of water and didn't dare to get too close.
"Ah Bu, why are you picking up so many small stones?" Fire Phoenix asked. "What's so good about small stones? Let's go fishing."
"Oh!" Ah Bu shook her head violently and glared at Fire Phoenix.
Fire Phoenix laughed. "Why? You don't like fish? "
Ah Bu stomped her feet angrily and put the small stones into her pocket. Then, she turned around and ran back to the bamboo hut.
"What's wrong with her?" Fire Phoenix was confused. Did he say something wrong?
"Could it be because of Ah Bu?" Ming Xi pondered. Was it because of Ah Bu that Sir didn't like fish anymore?
Fire Phoenix scratched her head. "What are you talking about?"
"Let's go say goodbye to Sir," Ming Xi said and pulled Fire Phoenix to the bamboo hut to find Huangfu Chen.
"Sir, we've been here for two days. It's time to go back. Otherwise, my mother will think that we're causing trouble everywhere," Ming Xi said with a smile.
Huangfu Chen looked at Ming Xi carefully and considered if he was telling the truth. "Didn't you want to stay here for a few more days?"
"No, we'll come back with Little Rou in two days," Ming Xi said.
"Alright then, I'll send you out of the forest," Huangfu Chen said.
"No need, no need." Ming Xi waved his hand and declined. "We know the way."
Huangfu Chen nodded lightly and sent Ming Xi and the others out of the bamboo hut. He watched their backs disappear on the mountain path before turning back to the hut.
"Ah." Ah Bu held the small stones in her hands and looked at Huangfu Chen with a smile.
"Why did you go pick up these again? You can't put them on your bed. They'll hurt when you sleep," Huangfu Chen said with a smile.
Ah Bu pouted. She liked to put these stones under the bedding.
"Did you … in front of Ming Xi and the others …" Huangfu Chen looked down at her legs.
Ah Bu didn't understand what Huangfu Chen meant. She shook her head vigorously.
"That's good." Huangfu Chen smiled slightly. "Let's sit down and eat."
At this time, Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix, who had already left the bamboo hut, stopped after walking for a while. The two of them sat on a towering tree until it was dark before they flew deep into the mountains.
It was very cold in the mountains at night, and the leaves were already covered with a layer of frost. Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix's figures flashed through the forest. After an hour, they finally arrived at the mountain that Huangfu Chen mentioned.
"Why would Mr. Huangfu come to this place to pick herbs? We have to fly for so long, but it would take him at least half a day to get here." Only those with excellent martial arts could come here. It was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to walk to this mountain.
"Perhaps Mr. Huangfu wants a precious herb, so he didn't hesitate to come to this mountain," Ming Xi said. "Let's go up and take a look."
They flew to the highest peak and looked down from the cliff.
"Look over there." Ming Xi pointed at a shimmering place in the distance.
"That should be … a lake." Fire Phoenix retracted her wings and turned into her human form. She looked at the place where Ming Xi was pointing. It should be the reflection of the moon in the sky on the surface of the lake.
Ming Xi nodded slightly. "Let's go and take a look."
"There's such a big lake deep in the mountains," Fire Phoenix muttered. She looked around before flying over with Ming Xi.
When they got closer, they realized that there were five tall mountains around the lake. If they hadn't looked down from above, they wouldn't have noticed the lake.
