Chapter 1399

Baili Xia thought Mu Xiaojiu intended to take her up the mountain to see the Snowfield Rosy Clouds blooming everywhere.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the top, he changed directions and found another small path, heading toward the other side of the mountain.

Baili Xia couldn’t fathom his intentions at all.

Looking up, the Snowfield Rosy Clouds were already within reach, yet she had no chance to go over and take a look.

These were Bei Qingyou’s favorite flowers when she was alive…

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu had gone far ahead, Baili Xia resignedly turned around and followed him.

“Uncle, where are you taking me?” If not for his “birthday these days,” she would really feel like abandoning him.

Always calling her over and dismissing her, it was never clear what he considered her to be.

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, only slowing his steps when the mountain path began to get rugged.

Baili Xia silently followed.

On the other side of Hongxia Mountain, there was actually a small village.

The village wasn’t big; a glance showed scattered houses, maybe ten to twenty of them.

This village seemed quite backward.

Each household had a small yard, which looked rather quaint.

However, it was very outdated in construction, tremendously different from the bustling cityscape.

This place was probably very inconvenient for transportation, so, even though it was in the suburbs, it wasn’t as prosperous as other areas.

Just as they did now, even after arriving, they had to climb over mountains on their own, making it even tougher for vehicles transporting goods to enter.

Why did Uncle bring her here?

He didn’t seem the type to enjoy rural life experiences.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he’s wealthy from birth and isn’t used to hardship.

“Uncle, where are you going? What are you planning to do?”

Following behind him, Baili Xia asked again, not for the first time.

As in the previous instances, Mu Xiaojiu still chose not to respond, striding forward into the village, with only a tall yet cold back in view.

He didn’t seem angry but just ignored her…

Baili Xia bit her lip, and despite the rugged path, continued following.

After walking some more, they finally entered the village.

A very backward village, yet it was quiet enough.

Could it be that he planned to spend the night here?

Should she call Ye Hua or Brother first to let them know she’s safe?

“Uncle…” Suddenly, Baili Xia stopped speaking, falling silent.

Because she saw a familiar person.

Though she had seen her only once, she was just incredibly familiar!

It was her!

That day she and Bei Tianyou went up the mountain and mistakenly took her for the woman, Bei Qingyou.

When Baili Xia saw the woman, she had just straightened up and turned her head, noticing Baili Xia’s figure.

The woman’s eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, but in the next moment, the surprise faded.

Baili Xia’s heart trembled; this woman had clearly misidentified her again!

Do she and Bei Qingyou really resemble each other so much?

So many people have mistaken them again and again!

“Young girl, is it you?” The woman recognized her and immediately gave her a silly smile.

“Yes, it’s me.” Baili Xia glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, then decided to ignore why he had brought her here, stepping toward the woman.

The woman was initially working, seemingly planting something.

Seeing Baili Xia approaching, she quickly put down her hoe, stepping forward to meet her.

“Why is a young girl like you in such a place? Are you looking for someone, or do you have something to do here?”
