Chapter 148 Once you step out of the fence, you won't go back
He only knew that if he wanted to save his mother, he had to go to Muyang Mansion first.
Xu was a perceptive person. Even though Su Jinhui's behavior was the same as before, she still noticed something.
She always felt that Jinhui was a little different today.
She couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.
Seeing him wake up and walk out, she sat up as well.
"Xiaohui, where are you going?"
Su Jinhui had no plan to leave now.
First, it was getting late, and second, he was still hungry.
Before leaving, he had to eat his fill and then rest up.
Therefore, he turned around and said weakly: "Mom, I'm so hungry, let's go get something to eat first--"
When Xu heard that he was hungry, she remembered what he had said before, that there were only two wild vegetables left at home, so he rarely went out.
When she leaned against the door and saw him walking towards the half-collapsed kitchen, she said hurriedly:
"Xiaohui, there aren't many wild vegetables at home. Go out and find something else to eat. Save this for tomorrow!"
Su Jinhui paused when he heard this, then turned around and looked at her in disbelief.
She clearly knew what the situation was outside, yet she still said this. Did she want to starve him to death?
Xu felt a little uncomfortable when Su Jinhui looked at her, so she made excuses for herself.
"Xiaohui, it's not that mommy doesn't want you to eat those two wild vegetables.
But it’s because we have no food stored at home, and my mother is worried.
With these two wild vegetables, my mother would feel at ease knowing that she would have food to eat next.
So, let’s keep the wild vegetables for now, and see if you can go out and find something else to fill your stomach?
If not, just drink more water later.
After I cook the wild vegetables tomorrow, I'll give you half, okay?"
If the person in front of him was his own mother, or an elder who truly cared about him, Su Jinhui might have accepted his fate and obeyed.
As luck would have it, today he recovered some of his memories and discovered how cold-bloodedly Xu treated him.
Hearing this, he left without looking back, even though he had originally wanted to wait until he had eaten and rested enough before leaving.
Seeing that he seemed angry, Xu didn't take it to heart.
But when the person walked farther and farther away, and slowly disappeared from my sight, I suddenly felt a little panicked.
She stumbled and tried to follow.
But during this period of time, she has been lying in bed and doing nothing.
Due to lack of exercise, poor diet, and no salt intake, she didn't walk far before her legs gave way and she fell to the ground!
She was so anxious that she opened her mouth and shouted: "Xiaohui, Xiaohui——"
Jinhui heard it, but pretended not to hear it.
And Xu's shouting became louder.
"Xiaohui, come back, come back soon——"
Su Jinhui walked further and further away, even unconsciously speeding up his pace.
After Xu said those words, once he stepped out of that fence gate, he would never go back!
But now he is still young and thin, and he doesn’t know if he can cross the two mountains.
He wanted to go home and see his mother, and no one could stop him.
As for the ferocious beasts in the mountains, they were not within his consideration.
For him, it would be best if he could return alive. If not, then it can only be said that this is his fate!
That night, Su Jinhui hid in a small cave on the mountain.
How small is that cave?
It was probably just room enough for him and a fire.
Even if he wanted to lie down, there was no space.
Of course, since he was still young and this was in the mountains, he didn't dare to sleep.
It can be said that I almost kept my eyes open until dawn.
He had no thick clothes, no water bag, no dagger for self-defense.
Yes, just a set of torn and small clothes and two flints.
Fortunately, the clothes were dry after being baked overnight.
It’s not that uncomfortable to wear.
With the flint, he could light a fire at night without fear of wild animals approaching.
Fortunately, for him, supporting himself is easier than supporting two people.
He didn't have a pot, so he dug up some wild vegetables and washed them and ate them dry when he came across flowing water.
If not, he would just shake it and eat it raw.
At least you won’t die of hunger or thirst!

Su Rongrong, who was far away in Lanxia County, had no idea what kind of life Jinhui was living.
I don't know, he is working hard to come back.
She has already bought a mule cart, and has been learning how to drive these past two days, enduring the pain in her shoulder blades.
Not only herself, but also Su Jinhong, Su Qiaoqiao and Qi Jianing would be picked out by her to learn every day.
Time flies, and it is already the 29th day of the lunar year.
During this period, except for Su Manman who was still in Sujia Village and the younger brothers Zhiming and Zhiyuan, everyone else learned to drive a mule cart.
Of course, this day was not only the day when Su Rongrong invited Master Yang, County Magistrate Lin and others to dinner, but also the day when Da Hu, who had gone out to look for Jinhui, returned.
That night's meal was prepared just as Baili Zheng had said before, with Su Rongrong giving the instructions and Xiangyang cooking.
After the food was served, she went out to show her face, apologize to Lin County Magistrate and others, and wish them a happy new year, and that was it.
But she never left and kept waiting for Dahu.
I waited until the banquet outside was over and it was already the hour of Hai before anyone showed up.
Da Hufeng came back covered in dust, looking exhausted.
Seeing Su Rongrong, he said straight to the point: "Miss Rongrong, I'm really sorry that I couldn't find the person.
But I have some clues here, maybe we can investigate in this direction."
Su Rongrong was originally very disappointed, but after hearing this, she immediately perked up.
"Any clues?"
“Yes, the county closest to the city and Funing Prefecture is called Muyun County.
I haven't been there in person, but according to the information I received, someone recognized Su Jinhui at the disaster relief site in Muyun County.
It was said that they had seen him in Pingyang County, and that he was walking with a sickly woman.
Moreover, he called the woman "mother!"
Baili Zheng, who had been accompanying Su Rongrong all the time, had memorized all the places under the jurisdiction of Funing Prefecture, Qing'an Prefecture and Muyang Prefecture by heart these days.
Hearing this, he explained: “Rongrong, Pingyang County is the county town closest to Muyang Prefecture in Funing Prefecture.
Lanyu Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Qiepingyang County, only needs to cross two mountains to enter the territory of Muyang Prefecture.
To be precise, it is entering the territory of Muyun County.
Therefore, most of the victims that Dahu questioned had come over the mountains.
From this, it can be inferred that Jinhui should also want to come back from there."
Su Rongrong didn't know whether the news was true or not, but at this moment, she finally felt relieved.
She immediately said, "Brother Zheng, although I will be thirty tomorrow, I want to go there to look for it.
Apart from Da Hu, do you have any maidservant who knows some martial arts and can lend her to me?
Of course, I won’t let them follow me for nothing during the New Year. I can triple their monthly salary.”
As Su Rongrong finished speaking, Baili Zheng remembered the system notification again.
“Host, please assist Su Rongrong in going to Pingyang County to find Su Jinhui.
Mission completed, rewarded with one month of life and one hundred seconds of shopping at Baijia Supermarket.
This task is not mandatory, the host can choose it by himself! "
