Chapter 578 Fake

Tiger's mother just wanted to rush forward, but several people grabbed her and kept trying to persuade her.

"Tiger's mother, let the child go and rest in peace. If you rush over to see him, it will only add to your reluctance and heartache. It's all fate. You must understand that. You still have your daughter. She's still young and depends on you."

"Let me see Hu Zi, I want to see Hu Zi, I want to see him, I want to see him one last time, just one last time."

The two men carrying the tiger ignored it and left with Uncle Qi, heading straight into the mountains.

Tiger's mother was surrounded and persuaded by people. Du Mingxian found it strange and looked at an old woman standing next to her, asking, "The child is gone, why are you just carrying her away without burying her?"

"According to our village custom, when someone dies, they are all carried away to the mountains for burial."

"Aren't the others going?"

The old woman shook her head. "No, if we want to see the deceased, we can just go to the family temple. Their memorial tablets are all there."

This was the first time Du Mingxian had seen dead people in this village; everything about it felt eerie.

"Were these bodies disposed of by them, the sect?" She pointed to the people carrying Hu Zi's body further and further away.

"Yes, they handle it specially. Even though they are relatives, the dead are considered unlucky, so they are doing it for our own good."

Du Mingxian didn't believe a word of it, thinking it was all for their own good.

After standing still for a moment, Du Mingxian quietly left the crowd, seemingly walking aimlessly, but actually observing whether there were any people watching her.

Not sensing anyone around her, she quickened her pace and slowly caught up with the two men carrying the tiger. Uncle Liu, who had been leading the way, was nowhere to be seen.

Afraid of losing her, she followed very closely. But following closely makes it easy to be discovered. Sensing something was wrong ahead, she immediately slipped into her spatial dimension.

After doing this three times in a row, she entered the space again and saw the tall man carrying people, saying, "Don't you feel something's off today?"

"Yes, I have a feeling someone is following us." The shorter man looked unhappy. "Let's go. Anyway, they're not really dead. Carrying them out of here is giving them a way to live."

The tall man nodded slightly. "Let's go. It's good that we were chosen to survive."

Du Mingxian understood. Sure enough, Hu Zi had somehow managed to fake his death, and now they needed to carry him out of the village.

She was right; it was a shell village.

interesting.

They followed for a long distance, almost into the deep mountains, when the tall and short men stopped together. They placed the body on a large, flat rock, and the tall man put his hand to his mouth and whistled. Only then did the two men leave.

Du Mingxian remained inside the space, not coming out, but standing there watching the corpse covered on the stone. After a while, a man emerged.

He has a strong aura and is very skilled.

Du Mingxian, who had originally intended to follow, immediately changed her mind; her own safety was more important.

The man simply glanced at the person, then reached out and removed the white cloth, hoisted the person up, and flew away into the distance.

After the person left, Du Mingxian quietly left the space and walked forward. Before she had gone a hundred meters, a voice came, "Who's there?"

The extremely alert voice startled Du Mingxian, who immediately entered the space. Soon after, two people arrived at the place where she had just disappeared.

"Could it be that I'm imagining things? I clearly felt someone was there just now."

"Let's look around."

"it is good."

The two went outside to search, while Du Mingxian stayed put and didn't dare to move. Soon the two returned, just like the time when they were trapped in Tian Rong's courtyard. The two were extremely skilled.

However, the two were not persistent. Not seeing anyone, they only suspected that they were mistaken, so they hid in the shadows again.

Seeing the two leave, Du Mingxian adjusted her aura again and again, then flashed out of the space and ran back quickly.

She ran outside for a while before feeling discomfort in her stomach. She hurriedly took a pregnancy-preserving pill and then sat down to rest.

After adjusting herself, she didn't go back immediately. Instead, she found a small ditch and entered the space again.

It wasn't until evening, after Du Mingxian had taken a nap, that she heard shouts from outside, calling "Little Du" again and again, all very clearly.

"I'm here, I'm here."

Soon someone heard the sound and followed it to find Du Mingxian sitting alone in the ditch, looking disheveled.

Auntie San's tense heart finally relaxed the moment she saw Du Mingxian. "What's wrong with you? What are you doing sitting here? Why don't you go home?"

"I twisted my ankle, it hurts a lot, and I can barely walk."

"How did you twist your ankle?" Auntie San was disgusted, but she knew that the woman in front of her was very important; Xiao Bai had specifically instructed her to do so.

Du Mingxian said pitifully, "I was so bored today, so I thought I'd go into the mountains to see if there was anything fun, but I never expected to be so unlucky. There's a ditch here."

Du Mingxian was heavily pregnant, so carrying her on her back was definitely out of the question, and hugging her... While men might have that much strength, in this day and age, Du Mingxian absolutely refused to do so.

In the end, there was no other way, but fortunately there were many people who came. Uncle Qi took the initiative and found two small trees on the spot.

Since we were going into the mountains at night, everyone brought their household supplies, which came in handy now.

After cutting down the saplings, pruning them slightly, and using small sticks to build a simple seating area, the makeshift carrying frame was completed, and Du Mingxian was carried down the mountain in shifts.

When they arrived at Third Aunt's courtyard, Third Aunt firmly refused to let these people escort Du Mingxian back to her room. "Thank you all so much for today. We've really gone to so much trouble. We can handle the rest ourselves."

It was already past midnight, and everyone was sleepy, so when Auntie said that, everyone else quickly went home to sleep.

The gate was half open, leaving only Third Aunt standing in the courtyard, while Du Mingxian was already sitting on the ground.

"You'd better crawl back to your room now, even if you have to. You're such a bad omen. We stayed up most of the night looking for you."

"I didn't mean it either."

"You're not allowed to go out anymore."

Du Mingxian put on a pitiful look, but then she realized it was nighttime and she couldn't see anything in the dark, so she didn't even bother to put on an expression. "At least help me back to my room."

"Don't even think about it." Auntie San, seething with anger, turned and went back to her room. Since the person was already back in the yard, she wouldn't bother with them anymore.

When Du Mingxian saw her third aunt return to her room, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, but she didn't go in immediately, as someone was watching from the wall.

She cried softly twice, then slowly lifted her feet and moved herself into the room, closing the door behind her.

She didn't care what the people outside wanted to do. After closing the door, she stood up from the ground, walked to the makeshift bed she had set up, and went into her space to sleep.

Uncle Qi, who was guarding outside, had a flickering light in his eyes. The tall man who had carried the body earlier that day stood beside him. "Is there a problem?"
