Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

The path behind the mountain is winding and twisting, but Lian Rongrong had been here several times before, so she was quite familiar with the first half of it.

Wen Hui walked very lightly, and to avoid being discovered by Lian Rongrong, she only dared to follow from a distance.

And even Rongrong didn't notice Wen Hui behind her.

Lian Rongrong walked along the path without initially noticing anything amiss, but when she reached the latter half, a section she had never been before, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lian Rongrong looked around, but for a moment she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Despite it being daytime, the road grew darker and darker as we walked, and the trees on both sides of the path seemed to have an eerie atmosphere under the shadows.

Lian Rongrong pressed her right hand against the short crossbow in her sleeve pocket and carefully walked forward.

But in the next second, a towering tree to Rongrong's right suddenly moved.

Watching this enormous creature change position right in front of her, Lian Rongrong felt like she had seen a ghost.

Wen Hui, who was following far behind, couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Wen Hui found a boulder to hide behind, but when she peeked out again, she was shocked to find that the ancient trees around Lian Rongrong were moving one after another.

I thought Lian Rongrong would panic and run away, but to my surprise, the girl was very calm.

Lian Rongrong carefully observed the ancient trees around her. Although she didn't quite understand it, she could tell that this thing should be a formation.

But in such a remote and impoverished place, who would set up such a bizarre formation?

Just as Lian Rongrong was filled with confusion, a tree suddenly rushed towards her. The tree was extremely fast, and Lian Rongrong almost couldn't dodge it.

As soon as Lian Rongrong landed, another ancient tree flashed past behind her.

The vines of the ancient tree, like long whips, instantly wrapped around Lian Rongrong.

Wen Hui watched from afar as Lian Rongrong hung in mid-air, feeling truly delighted.

At that moment, Lian Rongrong suddenly realized that countless poisonous spiders were crawling towards her on the ancient tree.

Without further hesitation, Lian Rongrong subtly moved her mind and instantly hid in the amber ring. The ring landed on the ground, allowing her to escape the spider's attack.

Wen Hui stood at a distance, watching Lian Rongrong disappear before her eyes, her eyes sparkling. She rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.

But even though Rongrong had indeed disappeared, the practice of that strange formation abruptly stopped.

"What the hell is this? Did Lian Rongrong get swallowed by a monster? Or is Lian Rongrong a demon in the first place?"

Just as Wen Hui was falling into self-doubt, a faint green light suddenly appeared on the ground.

Lian Rongrong, who had just disappeared, reappeared without warning.

To escape the ancient tree formation, Lian Rongrong fled with lightning speed.

Upon seeing this, Wen Hui immediately hid behind a boulder. Lian Rongrong, flustered, naturally didn't notice Wen Hui, who had been hiding in the distance.

After escaping the formation, Lian Rongrong looked back with lingering fear.

Everything around them fell silent again, as if what had just happened was nothing but a dream.

Lian Rongrong dared not go forward easily, so she turned around and went back.

Wen Hui remained hidden until Lian Rongrong's figure completely disappeared before emerging from behind the boulder.

"This Lian Rong is definitely suspicious. But what was that thing that fell down just now? And what was that green light?"

Wen Hui muttered to herself, feeling both scared and excited by today's discovery.

However, Wenhui still couldn't see clearly what had just fallen.

After all, the distance was too great, and the amber ring was too small. However, Wen Hui was now certain of at least one thing: Lian Rong was indeed hiding a secret.

When Wenhui returned to the village, Lian Rongrong had already been back for a while.

Wen Hui walked discreetly to Lian Rongrong's door, only to overhear her sister-in-law Lin Chuyue sighing:

"Thank goodness for this amber ring. Otherwise, you would be in trouble today."

Amber ring? Wen Hui was startled. It turned out that the green light just now was emitted by the amber ring.

Wen Hui's lips curled slightly, and she thought to herself: It really is true that you can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you without any effort.

Now that she knew the secret of the amber ring, Wenhui's next step was to find a way to get her hands on that treasure.

In Wen Hui's view, Lian Rongrong's current status is entirely due to her strange habits.

Clearly, all of these things are related to that amber ring.

Wenhui returned to her room, and an unexpected discovery made her heart pound. Unable to sit still, she paced back and forth on the floor.

Wen Hui knew that Lian Rongrong was already wary of her, and no matter how careful she was, any move she made would inevitably be noticed by Lian Rongrong.

Given this, the best course of action is to remain inactive, but of course, not to actually remain inactive.

Wen Hui needs someone, someone who can help her distract Lian Rongrong.

Once Lian Rongrong mistakenly targets someone else, she will definitely find an opportunity to make a move.

Wen Hui stopped and looked at Lian Xiuyan, who was busy outside.

This aunt is truly a chosen one!

While Wen Hui was making plans, Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue were worried about the ancient tree formation on the back mountain path.

That place was clearly meticulously designed, but who would design such an ingenious formation in such a desolate place?

What secrets lie hidden behind the path?

[Mother, Fu Bao knows.]

Just as the two were puzzled, they suddenly heard Fu Bao's voice.

"You little rascal, you're awake?"

Fu Bao yawned, clearly still not enough sleep, probably because Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue's discussion had woken him up.

[Did Mother encounter a towering formation?]

Fu Bao, who was being held by Lian Rongrong, snuggled happily in her mother's arms. Then she hugged the bottle that Lian Rongrong handed her and sucked hard.

"That formation that looks like a monster is called the Heavenly Formation?"

Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue were already used to communicating with Fubao this way. Therefore, when the baby drank milk and made cute sounds, the two of them didn't react at all.

"Yes, based on what my mother said, it must be that towering formation!"

"What is that?" Lin Chuyue asked.

Fu Bao finished the entire bottle of formula, then let out two satisfied burps before explaining:

I can't explain the specifics clearly, but I know it was a formation set up by a master using the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Many people died in that battle. Luckily, Mother had her precious child protecting her, otherwise it would have been far too dangerous!

"Does Fu Bao know what's behind that road?" Lian Rongrong was still very concerned about where the path led.

After all, this mountain path that leads directly to the village is crucial to everyone's safety.

[This lucky charm is unknown; that thing is extremely strange. Even if someone manages to get through it alive, they can never return the way they came.]

Fu Bao slurped out a saliva bubble, his little tongue sticking out and then retracting, as if he could never get enough of this trick.

Lian Rongrong looked at her son with doting eyes, a smile appearing on her face.

With Fu Bao's answer, Lian Rongrong stopped worrying about where the path led. After all, according to Fu Bao, this towering formation would not only not become a threat to everyone, but would also become a protective barrier for them.
