Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 403 - : Goodbye to the Man in the Black Robe
Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Goodbye to the Man in the Black Robe
“Didn’t they say they were going to see the waterfall? They probably went over there.”
Zhang Peng said, and the two exchanged a quick glance, rushing towards the direction of the waterfall.
On the other side, Guihua came back after buying popcorn, only to find Liu Zhi’er in a daze. Da Mao and YingEr were playing with small stones they had picked up somewhere, and Liu Sisi and Mrs. Xin were nowhere to be found. She couldn’t help but get angry.
“Second Sister, Second Sister! Where are Sisi and Mrs. Xin? Where did they go?”
As she shouted, YingEr, who was playing nearby, ran over like a swift wind, stretching her hand out: “Auntie, Auntie, YingEr want popcorn, YingEr want to eat!”
Da Mao also came clamoring.
Guihua quickly lifted the popcorn high: “Look at your little hands, they’re so dirty. How can you eat food like this? Wait a moment, first wash your hands with water before eating!”
While she spoke, she then put down the popcorn and led the two children to wash their hands under the waterfall.
Perhaps because of groundwater, the waterfall had not completely frozen. Even so, the children’s small hands were frozen red.
After drying their hands, she returned to give the popcorn to the two children, and then turned to look at Liu Zhi’er.
“Where’s Sisi? How long have they been gone?”
“I…I didn’t pay attention. It seems like it has been…quite a while…” Her voice became smaller and smaller.
At the moment, Liu Zhi’er seemed panicked, looking around anxiously.
Guihua’s voice suddenly raised by an octave: “They didn’t just leave when I was gone, did they? It’s been such a long time!”
From the time she went to queue for popcorn until now, it’s probably been almost two quarters of an hour.
Would it take so much time to go to the toilet?

Guighua’s thoughts were racing. She swiftly picked up YingEr: “Let’s go! Let’s hurry up and see! Which direction did they go in? Why aren’t you hurrying up?” Guihua urged anxiously, her heart burning.
Mrs. Xin’s not a decent sort! And with her affected attitude, who could tell what sinister thoughts she might be hatching. Sisi is now pregnant and must not have any mishaps!
Here, Liu Zhi’er was also in a panic!
She quickly wrapped up the things, picked up Da Mao, and started chasing.
Just a while after the two set off, Di Yelei and his party arrived. They searched carefully around the bottom of the waterfall and the viewing pavilion, including the nearby resting area. As expected, they did not see anyone.
Now, not to mention those extremely anxious people searching for someone here, Liu Sisi was currently rushing towards the back mountain through the mountain forest.
Exerting force to hold on to a small tree, she used her hands and feet to climb the slope. Not even bothering to wipe off the sweat on her forehead, she took a couple of deep breaths and quickly jogged towards the mountain ridge.
As she just crossed the small mountain ridge, she involuntarily stopped.
Just in the not too distant area, on a small stone, sat a man in a mysterious robe, facing sideways. His left leg was bent, his right hand holding a sword. He was facing the desolate, cold wind and light snow, his clothing rustling in the wind.
The surrounding green trees had turned into branches, and the snow had turned it into a silver-white scenery. His black robe looked even more striking against this.
“I thought you wouldn’t come. Really didn’t expect, you would be so bold?”
The man in the mysterious robe turned around, revealing a creepy judge’s mask on his face. The corner of his lips was slightly raised under the mask, and a glint of laughter could be seen in his mesmerizing eyes.
Liu Sisi felt the chill hitting straight in her face, quickly took over her mind, and rapidly spread throughout her body.
There are many riddles in her heart that she allows the person in front of her to unravel, so even though she clearly knows the danger, she has come without hesitation!
She took a deep breath, her fingernails digging into her palms.
In front of such a strong man, she forced herself to stand tall, facing him confidently, and never allowing herself any sign of timidity!
She gave a faint smile: “In this age, the timid starve to death, and the bold die of overeating, don’t you know?”
The man evidently didn’t expect her to answer like this, hesitated for a moment before chuckling.
“Your words are quite interesting!”
“But I am more interested in your identity.”
Liu Sisi spoke slowly while walking forward, step by step, closing in on the man.
A light flashed in his eyes but quickly disappeared.
“Unexpectedly, young lady is interested in me. Could it be that since we last parted, young lady has fallen for my charming demeanor, unable to sleep at night, yearning for me day and night, so when you got my invitation, you rushed over here…”
While he spoke, he stood up from the rock and step by step came closer to her.
Liu Sisi’s eyelids flickered, concealing the thoughts behind her eyes. A smile bloomed on her face.
“Brother, you should have heard that narcissism is a disease, it needs to be treated! Don’t go out before it’s cured, or if someone mistakes you for a mad dog and kills you, it would be a great pity!”
The man approached closer with each step, stopped less than two feet in front of her, leaned in, close enough for Liu Sisi to smell his scent. A mocking expression flashed in his eyes, paired with that terrifying judge’s mask, creating an inexplicable chill.
“You say… I’m a mad dog?”
As he spoke, he extended his left hand and gently touched her chin.
The left hand, covered with a silk glove, left a chill. It lingered on her chin.
“Mad dogs never admit they are mad dogs, psychos never think they are sick. Hey, which house did you run from, you should get back and take your medicine!” Liu Sisi mocked with a turn of her face.
The man in the mysterious robe shook his head with a chuckle: “Are you thinking that because I spared your life back then, I wouldn’t dare to kill you now? So, you’re deliberately testing me, trying to provoke my bottom line. Hmm?”
While he spoke, he roughly gripped her chin with his long slender hand, clamping it so hard that Liu Sisi almost couldn’t breathe.
“Err! Let go…”
She struggled to push his hand away. Clearly, he didn’t intend to embarrass her. He let go of his grip with the flow.
“Nobody has ever dared to talk to me like that. You are the first! Brave!”
“There’s always a first for everything. Shouldn’t being the first in this case warrant a firecracker celebration?”
Tch! Damn it, will definitely have a bruise on my chin by tomorrow!
The man’s gaze was heavy, instinctively moving his hand on the hilt of the sword, laughing in triumph: “That idea is not bad. If you want firecrackers, the Firecracker Shop in City West has good ones. If you buy a lot, there’s also a discount, it’s very economical…”
“Could you stop it? Cough, cough, cough… You should be clear about what I’m saying.”
Not wanting to listen to his nonsense, Liu Sisi interrupted him: “I’ll just ask you one question, and you’d better answer honestly! Who are you on Black Dragon Mountain?”
