After hearing this, Hai Xili breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have made a decision.
"That's good. Then we can go home without any worries. But before we go back, Lei Hongjun, come with me first."
"Huh? Where to?" Lei Hongguang was a little confused when he saw Hai Xili pulling him towards the hidden bushes nearby.
"You'll know if you come over with your aunt!" Hai Xili's face turned slightly red, but she didn't say much. She just kept pulling Lei Hongguang's arm with her tender white hands.
Lei Hongguang had no choice but to follow her.
After they came to a rather hidden patch of grass that could cover half a person, Hai Xili suddenly said to Lei Hongguang with blushing cheeks: "Lei Hongjun, thank you so much for saving my aunt again. If I were caught by those guys, I would really be living a life worse than death."
"It's okay..." Lei Hongguang waved his hand and was about to speak.
But he was interrupted by Hai Xili: "Lei Hongjun, you just went into the water to save your aunt. You must be cold now, right? Let your aunt warm you up..."
As she said this, Hai Xili suddenly hugged Lei Hongguang, gave him a kiss on the face, and then suddenly squatted down.
"Aunt Hai Xili, what are you doing..."
Before Lei Hongguang could say anything, the belt suddenly fell to the ground...

361 A strange sound on the mountain; in front of Xia Shuming
Just when Hai Xili was seriously expressing his gratitude to Lei Hongguang verbally.
On the other side of Kusugi Ridge, Natsuki Akito, Natsuki Kazuto, Sayoko, Kanno Ai and a group of people also arrived at the end of the test of courage competition.
With everyone gathering together, the test of courage came to an end.
After the six people gathered together, they all prepared to go down the mountain.
But just as we were walking down the mountain.
Sayako suddenly frowned slightly and asked everyone: "Did you hear any sound?"
"No." Xia Shuming shook his head.
Sakai Yutaka, who cared a lot about Sayoko's widowed sister-in-law, listened carefully and nodded, "It seems like there is some strange sound..."
Hearing what Sakai Fengya said, the others also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
A faint sound reached his ears, and Shen Yelan also said: "I heard it too! It seems like... someone is screaming?"
"Yes, it sounded like a scream." Xia Shuheren nodded.
Others echoed.
"Hasn't the test of courage ended? Why are there still strange noises..." Sayoko, who was not very courageous, frowned.
"I'm not quite sure..." Shen Ye Lan was also a little confused.
"It seems like there's more than one person screaming..."
"It's a bit realistic, as if it's enduring some great pain..."
"I don't think there are any monsters in the mountain."
After a brief discussion, Natsuki Akito and other men also became a little scared.
Thinking that something strange might have happened, and that there seemed to be fewer people in their group than when they came up, Xia Shuming took a quick look and immediately asked, "By the way, Sayoko, where is Sister Hai Xili?"
"And Lei Hongjun, is he missing too?"
After hearing what Xia Shuming said, the others also discovered that Hai Xili, who was supposed to be in the same group with Sayoko, was not there at this time, and neither was Lei Hongguang.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Shen Yelan at the side helped explain: "Aunt Hai Xili just said that she was not feeling well, so she went back first, and then Lei Hongjun said he would see her off."
After hearing the news, Xia Shu and Xia Shuming felt relieved.
But for Noki Hiroya, who was obsessed with the sea tide, he had a vague feeling that something was not right.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Hai Xili, but received no reply.
I called again immediately, but still no one answered.
Noki Hiroshi immediately told Xia Shu and others about this matter.
When others heard this, they became a little worried.
They had just heard a strange scream, and when they tried to send messages to Hai Xili and Lei Hongguang but received no response, everyone became even more worried.
"Or, let's look for them in Hai Xili." Sayoko said.
Others agreed.
The group of six immediately split into several directions and started looking for Lei Hongguang and Hai Xili who seemed to have disappeared.
............
............
In the dense grass, Lei Hongguang stood upright with his back straight.
His legs were a little weak, so he could only put his hands on Hai Xioli's head to avoid slipping.
And Hai Xili, in order to thank Lei Hongguang for his previous help, had no objection to this.
But just as the two were discussing business, Lei Hongguang saw a figure suddenly appear nearby.
The other party seemed to have discovered that there were people on Lei Hongguang's side, and walked towards them quickly.
In this situation, Lei Hongguang naturally didn't want the other party to get close.
So when the opponent was still five or six meters away, Lei Hongguang was the first to shout: "Xia Shuming?"
Xia Shuming, who was about to approach to check, stopped immediately and nodded in agreement: "It's me, Lei Hongjun? Why are you here? Have you seen Sister Hai Xili?"
"Aunt Hai Xili?" Lei Hongguang pressed his hands down slightly and said calmly, "Well...Aunt Hai Xili went home first, uh...right."
Xia Shuming didn't notice anything unusual about Lei Hongguang, he was just a little confused: "Is that so? Just now, Sayoko and Kanno Lan also said that Sister Hai Xili went home first. But we sent her a message, but she didn't reply. We are a little worried. We don't know what happened..."
Lei Hongguang said casually: "Auntie Hai Xili's phone seems to be out of battery, so nothing should have happened."
Hearing this, Xia Shuming nodded: "That's good. By the way, Lei Hongjun, why are you standing here?"
Facing Xia Shuming's doubts, Lei Hongguang pressed his head with his hand again, and then explained casually: "Auntie Hai Xili said that she seemed to have lost a necklace or something on the way back, and asked me to help her look for it in this area."
Xia Shu understood and nodded, "So that's how it is. I'll help you find it then."
Having said this, Xia Shuming immediately prepared to continue walking towards Lei Hongguang.
The grass beside Lei Hongguang also swayed suddenly.
Seeing this, Lei Hongguang immediately refused and said, "Forget it, I can find it myself. Uncle Mingren, if you want to help, go look for it somewhere else. I'll do it here."
"Okay then." Hearing this, Xia Shuming didn't think much about it. He nodded in agreement, then turned and left.
His words just now were actually just politeness. After all, he didn't have any good feelings towards Lei Hongguang.
This high school student from the city was favored by Hai Xili at home, and the relationship between the two of them seemed to be much closer than with him, which naturally made Xia Shuming, who had always had feelings for Hai Xili, very unhappy.
So after secretly cursing Lei Hongguang in his heart, and even wishing him to fall a few more times on the mountain, Xia Shuming turned around and left.
Only after Xia Shuming left did the dense grass sway slightly again.
Hai Xili, whose heart was about to jump out of her throat just now, just let it go, but soon, her throat was blocked again.
"Lei Hongjun?" A figure approached the bushes where Lei Hongguang was from another direction.
Lei Hongguang turned around and immediately responded to the other party: "Uncle Kazuto, Uncle Boye."
It turned out that not long after Xia Shu Mingren left, Xia Shu Heren and Ye Qi Hiroya also found this place.
"Mr. Lei Hong, have you seen Hai Xili?" Like Xia Shu Mingren, Xia Shu He Renhe Ye Qi Bo also asked Lei Hongguang about Hai Xili's news.
"Aunt Hai Xili said she was going home first, and I was helping her find the necklace she accidentally lost." Pressing down the agitated Hai Xili, Lei Hongguang answered the same way he had just answered Xia Shuming.
After a similar question and answer session, Noji Hiroya and Natsuki Kazuto were also sent away by Lei Hongguang.

..
362 Hai Xili: Do you want to choke me to death?
Shortly after Nozaki Hiroya and Natsuki Kazuto were sent away, Sayoko and Kanno Ai also found their way here.
In response to the two women's inquiries and concerns, Lei Hongguang answered them in the same way that Hai Xili had already gone back and he was helping Hai Xili find the necklace.
And he refused their help.
After hearing Lei Hongguang's answer, the people who were originally looking for Hai Xi left with peace of mind and walked slowly towards the shrine at the foot of the mountain.
A few minutes passed after everyone had gone away.
He emerged from the bushes only at the tide.
Her mouth and cheeks were still sore and numb, and she looked at Lei Hongguang with resentment.
"Lei Hongjun, you almost choked your aunt to death just now!"
"Auntie was kind enough to thank you for helping me, so this is how you repay her gratitude?"
Hearing Hai Xili's complaints, Lei Hongguang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sorry, I really had no choice just now. Besides, with so many people coming and going, it's inevitable to be a little nervous..."
"Humph! Auntie will forgive you this time, but next time...don't do this again!"
Hai Xili did not blame Lei Hongguang too much. After all, she knew that it was indeed an unexpected situation.
It was she who took the initiative to express her gratitude to Lei Hongguang verbally.
Several times when she was in the most critical moments, her fiancé Xia Shuherenhe, who kept saying how good he would be to her, never showed up, and it was Lei Hongguang who saved her every time.
Hai Xili was very grateful for this. She already had some vague feelings for her nephew, so she was not really angry about Lei Hongguang's insolence.
While Hai Xi, with his cheeks swollen and his whole body weak, was cleaning up the mess that had just been left behind.
Lei Hongguang quickly left, used the corpse cremation technique to burn all the thugs who had just been killed by Ji Tousi, and then returned to the bushes.
