When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
Perhaps Shu Ruyue didn’t notice the difference in her attitude towards Wu Qinghe, but Li Xiaoran did.
Not only Shu Ruyue, but Wu Qinghe also treated Shu Ruyue differently.
However, the two of them still had a long way to go in terms of coming to terms with their true feelings.
Therefore, Li Xiaoran didn’t remind these two people and simply let them be.
“Not necessarily. It’s fate! When he meets the right person, perhaps he will find his wife!” Li Xiaoran said.
Shu Ruyue was stunned when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
For some reason, when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words and thought of how Wu Qinghe might meet his soul mate one day , she felt uncomfortable.
However, it was just for a moment!
Shu Ruyue felt that she must be crazy to feel uncomfortable about this.
After resting for a while, the group continued climbing the mountain.
Because it was really too hot, when the group encountered a stream in the forest, they simply went into the river to catch crabs.
She wondered if it was because no one had come to catch crabs that the crabs here were so slow-witted and easy to catch.
It didn’t take long for the four of them to catch a lot of crabs.
“These crabs will be fried when we get back. With seasoning, it’ll be a good side dish!” Shu Ruyue was overjoyed to see so many crabs.
“That’s right. When I see these crabs now, I can barely resist the urge to chew them!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“Then let’s go back! We gained a lot today!” Shu Ruyue thought of something and said.
“Sure! Come up and put on your shoes. Let’s wash our hands, eat some dry food, fill our stomachs, and go down the mountain quickly!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said as she put on her shoes and socks.
Soon, the four of them packed the crabs in a basket and covered it with another basket. Then, they sat on a big rock by the stream and ate meatloaf.
Because it was cold, the food wasn’t as crispy as when it was just out of the pot, but it still tasted delicious because they were hungry.
In addition to meatloaf, there were also some boiled eggs.
This thing was filling, so after the four of them ate it, they immediately became energetic.
As the saying went, it was easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down. As the four of them walked, for some reason, they got lost.
“This mountain isn’t big, so why are we lost?” Li Xiaoran looked around and said gloomily.
“That’s right. I think it’s very strange too! This is clearly the way down the mountain!” Shu Ruyue also felt very baffled at this moment.
They were going back the way they came! How did they get lost? “Hehe, it’s my turn now! Come, come, let me divine!” Wu Qinghe walked
forward happily when he saw that he could help.
After taking out the copper coin in his hand, Wu Qinghe began to divine.
After the divination was done, Wu Qinghe frowned.
“What? You can’t find the way out either?” Shu Ruyue asked.
After Wu Qinghe looked at this divination, he shook his head.
“No, I found the direction, but the divination told us not to go down. Instead, it told us to stay in this mountain!”
As soon as Wu Qinghe said this, Li Xiaoran’s expression turned serious.
“Tell me in detail!”
Wu Qinghe looked at the divination again and said, “This is the twenty-first divination, Fire Thunder Devouring Divination. The word ‘worry’ is incomplete, but the word ‘happiness’ is very complete. This means that we’ll be more happy than worried about getting lost. The Big Dipper is in the north, which represents danger. The way down the mountain is in the north.”
“If the north is dangerous, in that case, my husband is in trouble?” Li Xiaoran understood.
“It’s not impossible! Instead, it’s a good thing that we’re trapped here. That’s why I suggest that we don’t go down the mountain and wait on this mountain first!” Wu Qinghe gave a pertinent suggestion!
“Then divine my husband’s situation.” Li Xiaoran asked.
Wu Qinghe quickly nodded and started reading fortunes again.
Wu Qinghe did a divination first. After a while, he did another divination.
As soon as the second divination was read, Wu Qinghe’s frown relaxed.
“Madam, listen to me. Let’s not go down the mountain for the time being! If we don’t go down the mountain, Brother Luo Cheng will overcome the danger and turn the tables. But if we go down the mountain now, Brother Luo Cheng will really be in danger!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.
“Alright, we won’t go down for the time being!”
Because Luo Cheng was in danger, Li Xiaoran didn’t dare to take the risk.
She was willing to stay in the mountains for a while in exchange for Luo Cheng’s safety.
Zi Zheng was very anxious and wished he could rush down immediately to help his young master escape danger.
When he heard what Wu Qinghe said later, he immediately realized something.
According to Wu Qinghe’s divination, someone must have wanted to capture Li Xiaoran to force his young master to submit.
In that case, Li Xiaoran’s safety was the most important.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “We can’t just wait here. Hurry up and see if there’s a good hiding place nearby. We have to hide first! I have a bad feeling that if we don’t hide, we’ll be exposed!” Wu Qinghe nodded and asked again.
“Come this way. There’s a good hiding place here.”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately followed Wu Qinghe west. Zi Zheng was also very cautious at this moment. After Li Xiaoran and the others left, he stayed at the back.
After erasing the traces left behind by the four of them, Zi Zheng followed them.
Soon, the four of them arrived at a cliff.
Upon seeing the harsh wind, Li Xiaoran looked at Wu Qinghe.
“Is this the hiding place you mentioned?” Wu Qinghe was also very embarrassed!
After all, that was what the divination said!
Before Wu Qinghe could say anything, Li Xiaoran’s expression suddenly changed.
“Some people are coming up the mountain. There are a lot of them. There must be at least sixteen of them!”
As soon as she said this, the other people’s expressions changed.
Everyone mistook Li Xiaoran’s special ability for her good hearing, so when they heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they thought that she had heard something.
“Then what should we do? There’s a cliff in front of us. Do we have to jump off the cliff?” Shu Ruyue asked anxiously.
“Wait!” Li Xiaoran noticed something and felt that it was a little strange, so she walked over.
In the end, she stepped on something.. It was clearly a dense bush, but a cave suddenly appeared…
