Xia Chengke's tone was a little hurried and his face was full of anxiety.

He was running very fast, but why didn't he see the girl?

On the other side of the wall, Wan Ning pulled her sleeve and listened. Seeing that the other party was still looking for her, Wan Ning smiled.

After silently saying "fool", Wan Ning floated away.

Unwilling to give up, Xia Chengke searched every intersection back and forth, but still couldn't find Wan Ning.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go back first. It would be difficult to find someone now that it was dark, and it might be more convenient to wait until daytime.

So at dawn the next day, he went to Bai Chenxi's yard.

After explaining his purpose, Bai Chenxi was surprised: "Mr. Xia, you said there is a girl hidden in our manor?"

"Yes, I saw it last night."

Xiaodong and Xiaoxi beside them also nodded: "Yes, Mr. Bai, we saw it too. He was watching the moon on your roof yesterday!"

Seeing that the three of them had confirmed it, Bai Chenxi frowned in disbelief and thought: "Could there really be a strange woman hiding here?"

If that was really the case, Bai Chenxi couldn't help but feel suspicious as to whether that person was good or bad, and whether he would harm the people in the village.

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for him together."

Then the farm became lively, and everyone opened the rooms or cellars, and even the cabinets in the house were not spared.

After searching for a long time, I didn't see any sign of a stranger.

Xia Chengke hesitated: "Could it be that the girl is not hiding in the manor, but outside?"

"This," Bai Chenxi frowned, "Master Xia, if that woman has no ill intentions, I think we don't have to pursue where she is."

"What's more, there are farmlands all around me, and everyone has to work. I really don't have time to go out and mess around."

Xia Chengke understood Bai Chenxi's words, so after the two said goodbye, Xia Chengke led his men to the outside of the manor.

Finally, they entered the nearby forest. He thought that the girl in red was very good at martial arts and might settle down in the surrounding area or in the forest, leaving some traces behind.

As a result, after several days, his legs were so sore and he was covered in dust. It was completely useless.

In the end, he had to give up looking for people temporarily and return to the farm to rest.

After taking a bath and changing clothes at night, he thought of the folding fan again.

So he opened the door again, walked around the place where the servants in the manor passed, and finally climbed over the wall and entered Wen Xin's study.

He lit the oil lamp with familiarity and walked to the folding fan, but was startled when he saw the fan.

I saw that the picture in the folding fan was very different. Only a blooming osmanthus tree was left, and the woman in red under the tree was gone.

"What's going on?"

"Someone swapped the folding fans?"

When Xia Chengke thought of this possibility, he immediately reached out and took the folding fan, turned it upside down and examined every part carefully.

The fan in front of me is exactly the same as the previous one, the only difference is that the woman in the painting is gone.

This made him panic and at the same time he found it incredible: "Who would make an identical fan to replace the previous one?"

Xia Chengke frowned: "Who did this? How could they do such a thing right under my nose?"

Putting the folding fan back to its place, he looked around and found that the study was no different from before.

After hesitating for a moment, he blew out the oil lamp and walked out.

He planned to dispatch some people over. Not only the Bai siblings, but even this farm was filled with secrets. This time he wanted to investigate it thoroughly.

Xia Chengke walked quickly, and just as he passed a small path, he vaguely saw a dark shadow flash in front of him.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately chased after him with light steps.

When they got closer, Xia Chengke realized that it was the woman in red. She seemed to be lying in front of a row of rattan racks. In the moonlight, she would occasionally stick her ears to them.

Seeing Wan Ning's strange behavior, Xia Chengke did not rush forward, but waited there.

Today is the seventh day of the seventh month, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in legend.

When Wan Ning was strolling outside, he heard voices coming from the door of a room and realized what day it was.

Thinking of the legend, she decided to go under the grapevine to verify it. But even though she was no longer human, she could still hear some sound.

As she listened quietly, she actually detected the sound of human breathing. Although it was very light, Wan Ning still looked over in the direction of the sound.

"Ah, you," Wan Ning was surprised. How come he met Xia Chengke again?

Passenger Xia was originally anxious because the folding fan he wanted was replaced by someone else, and he was anxious and angry all the way. But when he saw Wan Ning reappear here, his irritable heart calmed down.

"Girl, we meet again."

Wan Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, we meet again."

Xia Chengke took a step forward: "What were you doing just now, young lady?"

"Oh, I'm here," Wan Ning pointed at the grapevines, "I'm listening for any sounds. Isn't today the seventh day of the seventh lunar month?"

After Wan Ning said this, Xia Chengke understood what she meant after a brief thought.

He smiled softly: "The girl's behavior is quite interesting. However, it is a legend after all, and perhaps these two people have never appeared."

Wan Ning also thought so and nodded: "Yeah, that seems to make sense."

"Well, I won't talk to you any more. Goodbye."

During this time, Wan Ning also learned to walk, but her steps were light and made no sound at all.

When passing in front of Xia Chengke, the other party suddenly reached out and grabbed Wan Ning's wrist: "Girl, wait a minute!"

Wan Ning was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

She struggled to get him to let go, and Xia Chengke relaxed his grip, but in the end he still didn't let her go.

"Girl, I want to know your name, can you tell me?"

"Is my name so important?"

Xia Chengke: "Yes, Xia really wants to know."

Seeing him struggling with this, Wan Ning hesitated and told him, "Wan Ning, this is my name, can you let me go?"

Seeing Wan Ning telling him, Xia Chengke kept his promise and let go of his wrist: "Okay, Xia, I'm sorry, but Xia really wants to meet the girl, so I'm just...

Wan Ning put away her sleeves and looked at him: "It's useless to know my name."

After saying that, she left.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Chengke immediately chased after him.

Following Wan Ning quietly, Xia Chengke just watched from afar, and was shocked when he saw the other party fly into Wen Xin's yard.

Then he jumped over and followed.

Standing behind a big tree, Xia Chengke was even more confused when he saw Wan Ning enter the study.
