Chapter 433 Jacob, Is That You (1/2)

Hearing this, a flash of hatred swept across Emily's eyes. It was not the first time for Jack to force her into doing something she was unwilling to do. In her mind, he could not be called human, but was rather something inferior to beasts.

”What are you doing with so many scissors?” Asked Magee. His words drew her out of her reverie.

Mindfully she explained, ”I've heard that if you bury scissors near the river where a person went missing, you'll find him within three days, so I want to give it a try.”

Though he had never heard of this, he didn't laugh at her. He nodded in agreement, ”Maybe it works. It's hard to say.”

Under the circumstances, he understood how Emily felt, and would not pour cold water on her hopes.

Anyway, there was nothing to lose in trying.

”But, it's not necessarily within three days that you would find him. Jacob may be far away from us. He needs time to come back, so you may have to wait for him a little longer.”

Listening carefully to him, and a little warmth flared at the bottom of her exhausted heart. She knew that he was telling her not to lose heart, even if she could not find Jacob in three days.

”Yes, I know. Thank you.”

”You are going to bury them now? Let me help you.”

”Okay.” They walked around the river bank, and trampled about to find the softest place. She pointed her toes to a place, and said, ”Let's bury them here. I heard that the deeper you bury them, the better the effect.”

He randomly selected a strong branch. Then he went to the place Emily had pointed out and squatted down to dig a hole.

They dug together until the sand pit was half a meter deep, then placed the scissors inside, covered it over again. Finally, they stepped on the excavation with their feet.
