Even After My Death

Chapter 715: Chapter 613: Finding Shi Xiaohua

Jiang Ning quickened her pace after leaving the village people’s line of sight.

In her mind, the System was directing Jiang Ning.

Half an hour ago, noticing the noise as villagers gathered, Jiang Ning subconsciously listened in.

What she heard was also heard by the System in her mind.

Without Jiang Ning needing to speak, the System had already found Shi Xiaohua’s whereabouts at the first opportunity, informing Jiang Ning that she was not in immediate danger.

After discovering that Shi Xiaohua’s location was quite far from where the villagers were gathering mushrooms, Jiang Ning immediately headed up the mountain.

She remembered Shi Xiaohua.

Jiang Ning did not want her to be in trouble.

As Jiang Ning was halfway there, a drop of water fell on her head.

Jiang Ning did not stop walking, and soon, the patter of rain sounded, with the night sky shrouding them as rain began to fall.

Countless raindrops hit the leaves, crackling.

Jiang Ning raised her hand to put on her hood and quickened her pace.

In the rainy night, the flashlight’s beam was minimal, but luckily there was System navigation, or Jiang Ning would never have found Shi Xiaohua so easily.

Seeing the distance between her and Shi Xiaohua getting closer, Jiang Ning began to shout her name.

By this time, the rain was pouring heavily.

Soaked through, Shi Xiaohua huddled under a large tree, shivering. When she heard someone calling her name, she initially thought it was a hallucination, until the voice became clearer and clearer, and she finally gathered the courage to lift her head: “I, I’m here! Wuwuwuwuwa! I’m here!”

She burst into tears.

Jiang Ning pushed through patches of wild grass and thorns to reach her.

The rain poured down, the raindrops as big as beans hit them, cold and painful, and the rain made it hard for Shi Xiaohua to open her eyes.

When Jiang Ning reached her, Shi Xiaohua didn’t even see who it was clearly before she flung herself onto her.

She clung to Jiang Ning, crying uncontrollably.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I found you, don’t cry, I came especially to find you! Don’t be afraid!” Under the cover of the rain, Jiang Ning’s voice was also several decibels louder than usual.

To Shi Xiaohua, Jiang Ning’s appearance was not just a lifeline but her salvation.

Shi Xiaohua continued to cling to Jiang Ning without letting go, seeming a bit weak.

Jiang Ning was also soaked through at this moment. As she realized the rain was getting heavier, she wiped the rain off her face and communicated with the System in her mind: “System, is there anywhere nearby where we can shelter from the rain?”

The rain was too dangerous now, and it was hard for her to take Shi Xiaohua out.

Jiang Ning planned to find somewhere to shelter from the rain first, wait until the rain stopped, and then leave the mountain.

The System scanned for a bit: [Host, the nearest place to shelter from the rain is approximately 679 meters away in a straight line]

As it spoke, the familiar System screen appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

The System considerately navigated the rain shelter point for Jiang Ning.

679 meters… too far.

However, upon seeing this System screen, Jiang Ning suddenly raised her hand and gave her own head a light slap.

How could she forget the existence of the System Mall under her nose!

She had completed so many tasks, accumulated so many Merit Points, but hardly ever used them; why wait any longer!

Jiang Ning opened the System Mall, searched for the keywords rain shelter, and soon, related items popped up.

Jiang Ning glanced at them and swiftly chose one.

Exchanging one point, a smooth and translucent pearl fell into Jiang Ning’s hand.

At the moment this pearl appeared, an invisible barrier enveloped Jiang Ning and Shi Xiaohua within it.
