Chapter 16. Footprint
How could Hua Xiaocao not feel the scrutinizing stares of everyone around her? She was originally a sensitive and self-deprecating person. At this moment, she lowered her head as much as possible, and the resentful look was hidden in her eyes.
It wasn't until Hua Jin stopped that everyone halted together. Looking around, the ground in this forest was covered with locust leaves, some of which had already decayed, emitting the unique smell of rotten leaves.
If not for coming here with Old Lady Hua and Sister Hua, just for these locust thorns, they wouldn't have been able to enter. Getting pricked by them is no joke.
You could tell that there really weren't many people coming here. Except for traces of some animals, there were no signs of humans.
"Hua Jin, how did you find this place so far away in such a remote area?" Liu Shi, who usually had a lot to say, couldn't help but speak up.
Perhaps it was because the trees here were too dense, blocking out most of the sunlight, making everyone feel a sinister atmosphere. Hua Xiaomao and a few children who came along couldn't help but lean closer to the adults.
Who knows where Hua Jin got the courage to venture in alone.
"Aunt, don't worry." Hua Jin smiled politely, then looked at Hua Xiaocao.
"Hua Xiaocao, have you ever been to this place?"
"I... the mountains here look so similar, I really can't remember." Hua Xiaocao lowered her head, still looking aggrieved.
"It's okay if you can't remember, maybe I can help you recover your memory." Hua Jin gently smiled and then looked around at everyone, "Aunties, have you noticed how soft the soil is under our feet?"
