“This snake is quite fat, let’s eat it at night!”

Hu Feng nodded: “Alright!” He threw the snake on the ground and cut off its head with a dagger. He picked up long grass and used it to tie the snake, then handed it to Bai Zhi: “You take this, I’ll carry the branch.”

Bai Zhi looked at the tied snake for a while before she took it. She smiled and said: “It seems you learned a lot in the past three years, you even know how to use the grass as a rope.”

Hu Feng took the branch and walked forward, he didn’t look back at her. He simply said: “Maybe or maybe not. Since I lived here, it’s only natural to adapt to the surroundings.”

Hu Feng was carrying the branch on his back, but he was still standing straight and tall. However, this time, his eyes showed a bit trace of sadness.

What happened to him? Why did he fall into this situation?

He obviously restored his memory. So why he still act like it was nothing and continue living in this small mountain village?

What was he thinking?

Or what is he waiting for?

Bai Zhi took a few steps forward and walked alongside Hu Feng. She looked around the surroundings. When she was sure no one is around, she asked: “Why aren’t you going in the capital?”

Hu Feng stopped and took a glance at her. Then, he continued to walk. His eyes became deeper and deeper like the sea. As if a stone has been thrown into the calm sea.

“I don’t want to go!” His voice was faint, but she still sensed the restraint and forbearance in those simple words.

Bai Zhi sighed and asked: “Meng Nan is the son of the Meng family in the capital. His family is one of the powerful and influential families, you’ve never seen him before? I think Meng Nan also doesn’t know you.”

Hu Feng shook his head: “I’ve never seen him before. When I was 3 years old, I become an apprentice and studied martial arts in the mountain. At the age of 13, I went down from the mountains but was sent in the border in less than 3 months. I stayed in the border for 7 years. In those 7 years, I never returned to the capital even once. Meng Nan might have met my brothers, but not me.”

Hu Feng suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and asked: “Last time, when Meng Nan punished the Bai Family with boards, the jade pendant on the old lady’s neck, have you seen it before?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “It was my first time seeing it.” Its the truth, that was her first time seeing it.

Hu Feng simply replied: “Oh!”

Bai Zhi asked: “Why did you suddenly ask about it?”

“That jade, I’ve seen it before, whether it’s color or shape, it looks very familiar.”

Bai Zhi’s heart jumped out and asked: “Where have you seen it?”

Hu Feng: “In my house.”

Bai Zhi looked at Hu Feng with wide eyes opened: “In your house? Are you kidding me?”

Hu Feng took a glanced at her and asked: “Why do you think I’m joking?”

Bai Zhi was speechless, she doesn’t know what to say. He also has that piece of jade? If the jade represents a person’s identity, then does it mean she and Hu Feng were brothers and sisters?

Brother and sister?

These two words were like a sledgehammer that heavily pound her heart.

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing her facial expression, Hu Feng couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: “That jade, can it be bought casually in the store?”

Hu Feng shook his head: “I don’t know, maybe!” He only cares a little about that kind of thing. He even forgot how that thing exists in his house… …

Bai Zhi asked another question: “That jade, does it represent a person’s identity? For example, just like the jade that Meng Nan gave to me. You said it proves that he is the son of the Meng Family.”
