The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Early the next morning, Chu Ning'an was afraid that Ruyue would be shy when she woke up in his arms, so he got up before her. He added water to the porridge left over from the night before and cooked it again. Thinking that the steamed buns were dry, hard and tasteless, he put the buns on the fire to heat them up. When Meng Ruyue got up, the cave was filled with the fragrance of porridge and the aroma of burnt steamed buns, which made her mouth water and appetite.

Chu Ning'an didn't want her to be immersed in memories, so he didn't mention what happened yesterday. He just urged her to wash up quickly and have breakfast.

Ru Yue understood his painstaking efforts, but did not point it out. After a simple wash, she sat down to eat.

"The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles. We can't just run around like a headless fly. Have you thought about what we should do next?" Chu Ning'an discussed with Ru Yue while eating breakfast.

"According to Shopkeeper Cao, the resurrection grass should grow on cliffs where both cold and hot weather coexist." Ru Yue shared the information she knew with Chu Ning'an. "I once heard my father mention that if you go north along the back mountain and cross three large mountains, you will see a waterfall. The water of the waterfall is freezing cold, and there are several hot springs nearby. I think that place best fits what Shopkeeper Cao said. I want to go there and take a look. What do you think?"

"We already climbed over two mountains yesterday. According to you, we should be able to reach the destination by climbing over this mountain today. Now that we are here, we might as well go a little further. Our success or failure will depend on this one." Chu Ning'an didn't want to discourage Ru Yue's enthusiasm, so he echoed her support.

"Okay, then let's eat quickly and try to get there before noon." After saying that, she stopped dawdling.

After they packed up, they started a new journey.

Chu Ning'an looked weak, but his physical strength was much better than Ru Yue's. The foot of the mountain was steep, and Chu Ning'an almost had to hold Ru Yue's hand all the way as they moved forward.

"Your physical strength is much better than I thought. I thought you couldn't keep up with me, but it turned out that you took care of me all the way." Ru Yue's emotional intelligence has always been online. She praised Chu Ning'an for taking good care of her without hesitation.

"I was weak when I was a child. In order to strengthen my body, my family asked me to practice martial arts with Master Wu since I was young. It has been nearly ten years now." For the first time, Chu Ning'an mentioned some information about his family in front of Ru Yue.

"No wonder." Suddenly thinking of something, he asked hurriedly, "Then you should be able to fight. Why did you just take the beating that day and not fight back?"

"I don't want to fight back."

"Brother, you know this will kill the conversation?" Ru Yue complained inwardly, but she wouldn't force him. After all these years, who doesn't have some secrets? Isn't it even more forbidden to tell anyone about your own resurrection? Seeing that he had withdrawn into himself again, Ru Yue stopped talking.

The two of them said nothing along the way, just focused on their journey, and at noon they really arrived in front of a waterfall.

The waterfall hung between sheer cliffs, cascading down like shimmering flowers and shattered jade, a chilling air that was almost overwhelming. The cliffs were thousands of feet high, carved with knives and axes, the entire wall fanning out for hundreds of feet. Looking up at the clifftop, a faint mist swirled from within, a terrifying sight that made it difficult to see clearly.

“Is this what it means to be like ‘a waterfall plunging three thousand feet straight down, as if the Milky Way is falling from the sky’?” Ru Yue sighed.

"Ru Yue's generosity and talent are incomparable to ordinary men." Chu Ning'an praised, and was secretly amazed in his heart. Ru Yue's eloquence showed her knowledge and talent. Not to mention that she is a peasant girl from the mountain village, even compared with the ladies of famous families in the capital who were carefully educated, she is probably not inferior!

Ru Yue didn’t know what Chu Ning’an was thinking, otherwise she would have laughed wildly three times, and then told him that her sister only knew a few words, really just a few words!

"It's noon now. Let's find a place to settle down and rest first, and then search around here carefully in the afternoon. What do you think?" Chu Ning'an discussed with Ru Yue.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ru Yue felt that Chu Ning'an must have studied management, otherwise how could things be arranged so thoughtfully and orderly?

The two men approached the left side of the cliff and walked along the cliff to the left foot of the mountain, intending to find a cave near the mountain path to shelter from the wind and rain.

I don’t know if it’s due to the special geology, but there are indeed several caves of different sizes and depths near the foot of the mountain, and some of them even have hot springs.

The two chose a relatively suitable cave to settle down. In order to have more time to look for herbs, they did not make a fire. They just ate steamed buns with smoked chicken and some mountain spring water as their meal.

"We've found the cliffs and the cold water in the hot spring. These are consistent with the environment where the resurrection grass grows. This should be the place we're looking for." Ru Yue analyzed the actual situation and discussed with Chu Ning'an, "But the cliffs are steep and shrouded in mist. It's impossible to see what's above from the bottom. What do you think about us climbing along the foot of the mountain to the top of the cliff to take a look?"

"This mountain is at least a thousand feet high, and the cliffs here stretch for over a hundred feet. It would probably be dark before we reach the top, which would be too dangerous. Let's walk along the cliffs this afternoon. If we find nothing, we can go up the mountain tomorrow morning to search, okay?"

"You are really thoughtful." Ru Yue was very happy and glad that she went into the mountains with him this time.

The two rested for a while, put all the things they brought in the cave, and left the cave lightly.

When they arrived at the foot of the cliff, they discovered that the cliff was very high, probably more than a hundred feet. As far as the eye could see, there were only a few indistinguishable plants growing diagonally on the dark brown rock wall. How could they tell what they were?

The two looked at each other and saw helplessness and powerlessness in each other's eyes!

"Don't be discouraged. We will still proceed according to the original plan. It would be great if we can find something, but it's normal if we can't. Just treat it with a normal mind." Chu Ning'an calmed down before Ru Yue and turned back to comfort this girl who, in his opinion, was no more than fourteen years old.

"You're right, we came here to look for grass. If we get it, it's luck, if we don't, it's fate. I'm too persistent." Ru Yue calmed down at this time, thinking that she had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life and had been a "big shot" in the business world. How could she be worse than a 17-year-old boy here? She couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Looking at her clear and steady appearance, Chu Ning'an was once again in a trance. How on earth could such a beautiful girl be conceived and raised? What he had heard about the old Meng family in the past few days made him unable to imagine that such a family could raise her!

"The cliffs here are deep and the forests are dense. We are not familiar with the environment here. We must not disperse. If we encounter danger, we may not be able to rescue us in time."

"Okay." How could she refuse such a reasonable statement? But, but how could she "cheat" when they were both together? Ru Yue felt a pang of pain in her teeth. "Let's go."

"Now that we've figured it out, we might as well treat this grass-hunting trip as a picnic. We can pick up anything useful we find and take it home." Chu Ning'an had completely let it go and returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor. "According to the habits of the grass, we can focus more on the area near the waterfall. I don't think there will be any important clues around here, so we can just ignore it."

Ru Yue also understood it clearly and stopped worrying about it.

The two of them said nothing along the way. They collected any dry firewood and herbs they saw. Although mountain rats and grass snakes occasionally ran past them, there was really no danger.

More than an hour later, the two finally arrived near the waterfall. They had thought the waterfall was majestic enough from a distance in the morning, but now they were even more frightened when they looked up at it from close up. The waterfall rushed down with a sound like thunder and roared violently. The water column rushed down and hit the rocks at the foot of the mountain, breaking them into pieces and splashing them everywhere. The water fell into the deep pool at the foot of the mountain, stirring up thousands of waves again, and the water was misty and cold.

The two were unable to cross the deep pool to get to the bottom of the waterfall, and they could not see the things on the cliff clearly, so they had to continue moving around the deep pool.

After more than half an hour, the two came to the other side of the deep pool. Seeing vines hanging from the cliff, Ru Yue suddenly had an idea and pulled Chu Ning'an over.

"There are vines here. I'll climb up and take a look. If there's still nothing, we'll give up completely." Ru Yue said to Chu Ning'an with a little excitement on purpose.

"The vines may not be strong. You're a girl. It would be dangerous if you fall down." Chu Ning'an's eyes flashed with an irresistible persistence. "Let me try. I've practiced martial arts, so I'm definitely more flexible than you.

How could Ru Yue be willing to let such a rare opportunity slip away? She argued, "You also said that this vine might not be strong. I'm smaller and lighter, so it's better. Besides, even though I don't know martial arts, I grew up in this rural area, so climbing trees by vines is no problem for me."

Chu Ning'an was afraid that she might stumble and get hurt, so he tried to persuade her again. Ru Yue immediately said, "If I really fell, you could still save me. But if you fell from up there, do you think my small body could save you?"

"cocoa......"

"Don't worry, it's a deal. You wait for me downstairs, and if I really fall down, you carry me back." Ru Yue blinked her sparkling peach blossom eyes and nodded affirmatively to Chu Ning'an.

"Then you must be careful and don't try to be stubborn, okay?" Chu Ning'an said with a look of worry on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash." Ru Yue raised her hand to smooth Chu Ning'an's frown and assured him.

There were many vines hanging down from the cliff, but they were still out of reach for the delicate little Meng Ruyue. She looked at Chu Ning'an pitifully, blinking her bright peach blossom eyes, as if saying, "Help me, help me!"

Chu Ning'an was amused by her cute little appearance. He pinched her armpits and lifted her up high so that she could easily grab a few vines.

Ru Yue tried to pull a few trees that were within reach, chose the strongest one, held it tightly in her hand, and climbed up the cliff.

"Ruyue, be careful." Chu Ning'an warned loudly with concern.

"Chu Ning'an, wait for me to come down." Knowing that Chu Ning'an really cared about her, Meng Ruyue didn't want him to worry too much.

In her previous life, Ru Yue lived alone since she was a child, so climbing high and climbing trees were no problem for her. If her original body's foundation had not been so poor, she would have climbed even faster. Fortunately, the nourishment of the spiritual spring water had improved greatly during this period, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to climb up.

Ru Yue changed several vines in a row. She didn't know how high she climbed. She just used her 5.0 vision to see that Chu Ning'an below had become a small ant. Then she carefully took out a withered grass from the space, stuffed it into her lapel, and slid down the vine little by little.

When they reached a place where they could see Ning'an clearly, Ruyue shouted excitedly, "I found Chu Ning'an, I really found him... Ah!... Before she could be happy, Meng Ruyue let out a scream.

"Ru Yue." Chu Ning'an screamed in fright. Seeing Ru Yue sliding down the vine quickly, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He didn't care about anything else and quickly measured the position where Ru Yue fell and wanted to catch her. He had only one thought in his mind, even if he was injured, he must make sure that she was unharmed.

"Chu Ning'an, don't pick me up. It's too high and it will hurt you..." Meng Ruyue seemed to know what Chu Ning'an was thinking. While trying every means to hold on to the vines, she did not forget to remind Chu Ning'an.

Chu Ning'an couldn't hear what she said at all. He was only focused on not letting her get hurt.

Fortunately, when she reached the end of the vine, Ru Yue gritted her teeth and held on to the vine tightly to slow herself down for a moment, but her painful hands could not support her and she still fell from the air.

"what!"

"Ruyue!"

Ru Yue didn't feel the expected pain. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Chu Ning'an's arms. "Chu Ning'an, how are you? Don't scare me! I haven't fallen to death yet. I hope nothing happens to you..." She started to cry as she spoke. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy and wanted to take shortcuts. I can still support you without the Resurrection Grass. Chu Ning'an, I'm sorry. I hope nothing happens to you..."

"Ruyue, I'm fine, don't cry." Chu Ning'an said weakly, "Don't cry, I'm really fine."

"Chu Ning'an, are you really okay?" Ru Yue laughed while crying and hugged Chu Ning'an tightly. Chu Ning'an also hugged her tightly in his arms, as if she was his lost treasure.

The two checked each other and found that neither of them was seriously injured. However, Ru Yue's hands were bleeding and swollen from the friction during the climbing and sliding, and her body had many red and purple bruises from the impact of the stone wall.

Most of the bruises were on her waist and abdomen, and it was not convenient to rub them away with medicated oil. Chu Ning'an could only use the water from the deep pool to clean the wounds on her hands, sprinkle some medicine on them, and tear a strip of cloth from his inner clothes to bandage them carefully for her before he felt completely relieved.

Chu Ning'an had a cold and handsome face the whole time, which made Ru Yue feel a little scared. "Chu Ning'an, I found the resurrection grass. It's really special." As he spoke, he took it out from his collar and handed it to Chu Ning'an. "Ah! What is this?"

"Chu Ning'an, how did it change?" Meng Ruyue held a piece of dry grass with her eyes wide open in shock, and exclaimed incoherently, "It's not like that. Believe me, Chu Ning'an."

"Ruyue, don't be anxious. Think back to what happened at that time." Chu Ningan comforted her.

"It grows on the edge of the waterfall. Half of its leaves are dark green like ink, and half are light green covered with ice and snow. Half of them feel cold to the touch, and half of them feel warm. Really, I'm not lying to you, Chu Ning'an." Ru Yue explained hurriedly.

"Has it ever left your sight?"

"No, there were two trees there. I thought we only needed one, so I picked it and put it in my lapel. I took a look at it from time to time when I came down." Ru Yue said while crying, looking very pitiful.

"Don't cry, Ruyue. This means that this grass is the Resurrection Grass. We just don't know why it has changed. Let's take it to find Manager Cao."

"Can it be done?"

"Give it a try. Even if this one doesn't work, can't we still pick another one?" He comforted Ru Yue while wiping her tears.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ru Yue agreed, but her big wet eyes were still filled with grievances, which made Chu Ning'an feel distressed.

"Come on, I'll carry you back."

Before they knew it, the sun had set again. Chu Ning'an carried Meng Ruyue all the way back. Their figures overlapped, stretched out by the setting sun. How nice it would be if they could walk this road forever!
