You forced me to marry a prodigal son, you deserve to be enshrined in the imperial temple

Zou Tingyan had no choice but to squat down.

"Come up."

Xie Wan looked at Xu Xingzhu with joy and gave her a look.

It’s like saying: Look, I finally managed to chew this hard bone.

They walked all the way from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain was not very steep. Zou Tingyan trained every day and had strong survival skills in the wild, so it didn't take much effort for him to carry Xie Wan, who weighed eighty or ninety kilograms.

Arriving at the pavilion halfway up the mountain, the three of them sat down to rest for a while.

Xu Xingzhu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his sweat.

Zou Tingyan quickly handed her the handkerchief.

"Use mine. It's clean and unused."

The army green handkerchief had sharp edges and was indeed new and clean.

Xu Xingzhu was racking her brains over how to refuse. Seeing that she didn't want to take it, Xie Wan just used it to wipe his sweat.

"I'm sweating a lot too. Thank you, Captain Zou."

Zou Tingyan retracted his hand and was so angry that he was speechless.

Xu Xingzhu took out the water cup from her bag, tilted her head back and took a sip of water.

At this time, a strong wind blew, and it was surprisingly cool.

By the way, I blew Xu Xingzhu's long and soft hair and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

Zou Tingyan was stunned.

I thought that the woman I liked was becoming more and more attractive.

Xie Wan saw him staring at Xu Xingzhu in a daze, and felt a little jealous.

He hurriedly urged: "Okay, we have rested enough, let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Xu Xingzhu stood up and walked forward.

She had to move forward quickly and put some distance between herself and the two of them.

Otherwise, if Xie Wan wanted to take action, Zou Tingyan would always be unable to let go.

As they walked toward higher steps, Xu Xingzhu looked back and saw that Zou Tingyan had fallen some distance behind with Xie Wan on his back.

There were two roads ahead, and Xu Xingzhu chose a more remote one.

The weather was not good and a heavy rain suddenly hit.

The steps down the mountain were slippery and unsafe at the moment. Xu Xingzhu was caught in the rain for several minutes and was soaked all over.

Seeing a cave next to him that could only accommodate an adult, Xu Xingzhu crawled in.

There was actually a simple wooden bed in the cave with some firewood next to it. I guess it was a place for people who worked in the mountains to rest.

On the other side, Zou Tingyan and Xie Wan walked along the wide stairs.

When it started to rain heavily, they quickly found a pavilion to take shelter.

Zou Tingyan walked several hundred meters up in the rain but didn't see Xu Xingzhu, so he had to go back to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain.

He was worried: "I wonder where Xingzhu took shelter from the rain. Maybe she went another way when we came up."

Xie Wan was also a little worried: "That shouldn't be the case. There are signposts all the way here, and she's in good physical condition, so don't worry."

Zou Tingyan blamed Xie Wan after hearing this: "If I had known earlier that I would have let you go by yourself, Xingzhu wouldn't have gotten separated from us."

"Captain Zou, it's not very kind of you to say that. I didn't mean to separate from Xingzhu. She knew I liked you, so she made room for us to be together."

"If it weren't for her, I would never have climbed the mountain with you, let alone carried you. We weren't even familiar with each other in the first place."

Xie Wan was very sad when she heard this, but she became more and more courageous.

"Captain Zou, do you know who I liked before?"

"do not know."

"I like Xingzhu's husband Li Jingyi."

Zou Tingyan was extremely surprised.

Xie Wan added: "Li Jingyi and I have been childhood sweethearts. I have liked him for a long time, but he doesn't like me. He only likes Xingzhu. I have thought about breaking them up, but the couple's relationship is indestructible. It is simply not something you and I can break up. Since I can't have him, I can only help them be together."

"So, Xu Xingzhu and I, who I initially thought was a love rival, became good friends and sisters."

"Captain Zou, I want to tell you that if you can't be lovers, then just be friends and help each other. This is also a pleasing relationship."

After hearing her words, Zou Tingyan, who was ignorant of love affairs, suddenly understood.

This is the first time I realized that girls can be so open-minded.

Li Family Villa.

Li Jingyi drove back home in the heavy rain.

Ask Mrs. Li if Xu Xingzhu has returned.

Sister Li said that the young mistress never came back after she went out, but she called her and said that she and Xie Wan went to climb Longxiao Mountain, and she didn't call home afterwards.

Suddenly there was a loud thunder, which frightened Li Jingyi.

Li Jingyi has been to Longxiao Mountain several times, where the mountain is steep and the road is slippery.

Wild boars, hares, pheasants and other animals appear from time to time.

It would be troublesome if she, a girl, encountered danger.

Li Jingyi didn't think twice, asked Mrs. Li to bring two raincoats, and rushed out the door immediately.

We got in the car in the rain and headed straight for Longxiao Mountain.

At this moment, the rain did not let up at all, but got heavier.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Jingyi asked the gatekeeper of the scenic spot whether he had seen his wife coming down the mountain.

The gatekeeper kept shaking his head and couldn't explain it clearly.

Originally, Li Jingyi was not allowed to go up the mountain, but since the other party was rich, he gave him some bribes. After taking the waterproof kerosene lamp, Li Jingyi went straight up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, we came to a fork in the road.

There is a path on one side and wide steps on the other.

Thinking of Xie Wan's nature of actively seducing Zou Tingyan, Xing Zhu probably agreed to let them be together and chose a secluded path herself.

So Li Jingyi took the small path directly.

In the cave.

Xu Xingzhu sat on the simple wooden bed and felt colder and colder.

The cold wind blew in from the cave, making my teeth chatter.

"No, I can't freeze to death here, I have to warm myself up."

She exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbed her palms repeatedly.

Then jump around in the cave.

This way your body will be warmer.

Probably because of the heavy rain, a big hole suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The foundation sunk a lot, as much as two or three meters.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xingzhu was really scared.

There was such a large concave area that she couldn't get out and it was difficult for others to get in. It was very difficult to rescue her at night.

Then she would have to stay here all night, and maybe someone would find her here the next day.

The rain gradually subsided and the sky gradually became less dark.

Xu Xingzhu looked at the sunken hole and saw some bottles and jars the same color as mud.

She walked over to take a closer look. The mud was very slippery and she accidentally fell.

I slowly got up, my hands were covered in mud.

As soon as I touched the pair of porcelain, I quickly withdrew my hand as if I had been electrocuted.

These porcelains looked quite old, and some of the patterns were similar to those she had seen in the museum.

It has a sense of historical heritage at first glance.

It can’t be an antique, right?

If that was the case, she wouldn't dare move.

Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain that caused the landslide and the foundation collapse, giving these historical relics the opportunity to see the light of day again.

Xu Xingzhu's heart was pounding.

If it is confirmed to be an antique, wouldn’t she have done a great job?
