There is still a long time before Shen Yunjian's coming-of-age ceremony, so she doesn't need to rush.

There happen to be several unique spiritual herbs in Xunwuze that cannot be bought anywhere else.

These magical herbs are not easy to preserve and their seeds are extremely difficult to find.

Cheng Shuyan decided not to go to the Shen family with Lingzhou, but chose to go there on his own.

Now she has the map of Xun Wu Ze, so there won't be any major danger on the way to Shen's house.

Along the way, she also happened to collect some spiritual herb seedlings. If they could be successfully transplanted into the space, it would also enrich the variety of spiritual herbs in the space.

Along the way, there were constant beams of light flying overhead, all heading towards the Shen family.

Along the way, she encountered spiritual herbs that were not in the space, so she stopped to pick them and then planted them in the space.

Occasionally, when she encounters monsters, she will hunt them. On the one hand, this can help her improve her combat skills, and on the other hand, she can accumulate some monster materials.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed and Cheng Shuyan had only walked half the distance.

One day, she had just finished hunting a demon snake when she heard a child calling out.

"Help! Is there anyone? Help me!"

It sounded like a boy, and the childish voice was full of anxiety and fear.

She didn't bother to deal with the remaining monster materials. After putting the entire monster snake corpse into the space, she hurriedly followed the sound and rushed in the direction where the boy was asking for help.

"Help, help me..."

The boy's voice became weaker and weaker, but gradually became clearer.

She spread out her spiritual sense and searched carefully, and finally found a trap in a place where thick dead leaves were piled up.

This trap should have been set by a hunter to catch prey, but I don't know why someone fell into it.

Through her spiritual sense, she could see what was happening below the trap.

This trap is a man-made well pit, about one and a half feet high.

A child about seven or eight years old was sitting against the side of the well with his left leg bent and his right leg straight.

He pressed his hands tightly on his right leg with a painful expression. It seemed that his right leg was injured when he fell.

She was about to go forward to check, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Judging from the boy's appearance, although he was a little weak, he still had the energy to call for help, which meant that he had not fallen for long.

However, the trap was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, as if it had not been destroyed for a long time.

So……

What caused the little boy to fall in and the trap to be hidden within a short time?

Thinking of this, her heart became alarmed and she slowed down her steps.

She quietly stepped back, spreading her spiritual awareness and carefully observing the surrounding situation.

The little boy was still calling for help, but she didn't dare to act rashly. Just as she was about to leave the jungle and observe the situation carefully before taking any action, the little boy's clear voice came again.

"Oh, sister, won't you save me?"

His voice was no longer weak, but instead contained a sinister smile.

Cheng Shuyan didn't care about alerting the enemy, and quickly used the wind control technique to retreat quickly.

But before he took a few steps, the little boy's voice came again.

"Sister, I'm in so much pain, please save me, okay? Hehehe..."

The voice seemed to penetrate directly into her soul, and she immediately stopped retreating.

Cheng Shuyan's eyes gradually became blurred, and only the little boy's voice remained in his mind.

"Sister, I'm so cold, can you come and keep me company..."

"Sister, they are all bad people. They left me here. Can you save me?"

"Sister, I've been waiting for you..."

……

"Sister, I've just been waiting for you. I know you will come to pick me up and take me home."

The voice in her mind gradually overlapped with the voice of her sister in her memory, and she seemed to see her sister who followed her when she was young.

Because she shared Cheng Dani's memories, to her, Cheng Dani's sister was also her sister.

She always felt guilty towards her sister because she had never been able to find her, leaving her alone in the devil's realm.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the voices of my sister and the little boy, and my guilt towards my sister turned into guilt towards the little boy.

She walked towards the little boy unconsciously, muttering to herself:

"Don't be afraid, my dear. I'm here to save you. I will definitely take you home..."

Cheng Shuyan walked to the trap, bent down, and used his hands to dig up the dead leaves bit by bit, then jumped down.

……

In a daze, she seemed to hear her mother's gentle voice ringing in her ears: "Ayan, what time is it now? Why are you still lying in bed? Get up and eat!"

Cheng Shuyan turned over and said coquettishly, "No, mother, let me sleep a little longer..."

"Still sleeping! You're getting married next month, and you're still so sleepy. In the blink of an eye, you'll be a mother too. What will you do then?"

Her mother's words seemed like a reproach, but her tone was full of doting on her.

She turned around and hugged her mother's waist as she was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"No, I just want to sleep with you. I don't want to be your mother. I want to be your daughter!"

"Okay, get up quickly, the food will get cold soon!" Mother patted her head gently, took her hand and dug her out of the soft bed.

After cleaning up, Cheng Shuyan went to the dining room. Her father, mother and brother were already sitting at the table waiting for her.

She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and quickly trotted over to sit next to her brother.

"You're about to get married, and you're still so unstable!"

My brother spoke in a seemingly serious tone, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The father beside him also quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Oh, it's a little late. Our little Yan is getting married next month. She won't be able to stay at home anymore. Are you not allowed to be lazy anymore?"

"Yes, yes, as a father, you should spoil her. Come and eat, the food is getting cold."

Mother smiled and hit Dad, and they all had breakfast while laughing and joking.

Cheng Shuyan's eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at her relatives and tears fell unexpectedly.

"Oh, what's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason? Okay, okay, I won't say anything about you anymore."

A'niang, who was sitting in front of her, was the first to notice her condition and quickly expressed her concern.

Her father and brother came over to comfort her, at a loss.

She wiped her tears and smiled brilliantly. "Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm fine. I just suddenly felt like it's been ages since I last saw you."

"You silly child, what are you talking about? Are you confused in your sleep? Didn't you see him last night before going to bed? Come on, we are all here, don't cry."

A'niang quickly wiped away the remaining tears for her and coaxed her gently.

"Okay, mother, I won't cry. I'm so happy to have dinner with you. I won't cry anymore."

"That's right, our little A'yan needs to smile. He looks his best when he smiles."
