“Gu Ying, you’ve really found it!”
MO Ruyue walked over and glanced at the cage. There were roosters and hens, and there was a particularly handsome rooster that looked especially intelligent.
“Bing ‘Er, do you know how far I have walked before I found these chickens? It had to be more than fifty miles. The further north we go, the fewer disasters there are, and the number of livestock that survive is also relatively higher.” “I also saw a few sheep and two cows. I can’t bring them back by myself, so you have to go.”
“Yeah, I think so too. I’ll just grab them and throw them into my space. I can bring back as many as I want, but I have to be careful not to be eaten by wolves or leopards.”
MO Ruyue’s eyes lit up when she heard that there were sheep and cattle.
This was a precious item. A mountain village with livestock would have the vitality and appearance of a mountain village.
“I’ll draw the map for you. You can ride Big Black and come back earlier.”
As Gu Ying spoke, he had already picked up a wooden stick and started drawing on the ground.
Remembering the way was the most basic life-saving skill for top assassins like them.
So he effortlessly drew the route to find the livestock, and when he stopped, mo Ruhan had also engraved the route into his mind.
“Alright, the porridge and buns in the pot are ready. Send them to the elderly and orphans in the village. I’ll go and bring the sheep and cattle back.”
MO Ruyue gave a simple reminder, then directly went to hold Big Black’s hand and ran to the place that Gu Ying had mentioned.
GuYing had just returned from distributing the congee and buns when he saw Uncle Mi standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking around. Once he saw him return, he came up to welcome him.
“Young Master Ying, I just saw Lady Qin riding out on a horse. Why didn’t you two rest for a while?”
“She’s busy. She’ll be back in a while?’
Gu Ying said briefly, but he didn’t say the real reason why MO Ruyue left.
It wasn’t that he wanted to hide it, but unless it was necessary, he would keep his conversation with people other than MO Ruyue as short as possible.
“Oh, I didn’t come for anything else. I was just thinking about Lady Qin’s health. Does she feel better?”
Uncle Mi asked with concern.
“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”
“That’s good. This old man still has to go to the fields, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”
After saying that, Uncle Mi cupped his fists at Gu Ying and turned to leave with his hoe.
From where he was standing, he could see the entire courtyard, so it was impossible for him not to see the cage of chickens in the courtyard. However, other than seriously asking Gu Ying, he really did not seem to care about those chickens.
Gu Ying didn’t say anything. He carried the chicken cage back to the house and waited for MO Ruyue to return.
The entire morning was about to pass, but MO Ruyue still had no intention of coming back.
Could it be that something happened on the way?
One terrifying scene after another began to flash through Gu Ying’s mind uncontrollably. He quickly shook his head and spat a few times.
The bad things didn’t work, and the good things worked. There should be some other things that delayed it.
He patiently waited for the time it took to make a cup of tea. Finally, he couldn’t help but stand up and fly away with Little Black.
Gu Ying ran north according to the route in his memory. After running for about twenty miles, he suddenly stopped his black horse.
Little Black let out a long neigh, stood up on its hind legs, and kicked its front hooves in the air a few times before it stopped.
There was a string of familiar hoofprints on the ground. It looked like they were coming back from the north, but when they got here, it suddenly became a messy pile of hoofprints.
There were sheep and cattle, horses, and even wolves!
“No way, did something really happen to Bing ‘Er?”
Gu Ying muttered to himself, feeling even more anxious.
According to MO Ruyue’s temperament, she hated trouble the most. Once she found those sheep and cattle, she would definitely send them into the space.
Even if it was just for show, they would only release the goats and cows near the village.
But now, they were still more than 20 miles away from the village. It would be too strange to let out the cattle and sheep, not to mention the wolf paw prints.
However, Gu Ying could tell at a glance that the wolf paw print was extremely large. It should have been left behind by the giant wolves that lived in the space.
There weren’t many of them, only two or three.
But why did MO Ruyue suddenly release the cows, sheep, and even the wolves?
He squatted on the ground and carefully distinguished the messy marks, trying to find all the clues and not miss any clues.
MO Ruyue had probably been sitting on the horse the whole time and had not come down.
None of the marks on the ground had her footprints, and there were no traces of her using martial arts.
All the marks pointed to a small path, and that small path led to a barren mountain at the side.
It was called a barren mountain because more than half of the trees on the mountain had been burnt, and the rest were holding on half-dead.
There were a few lucky ones that had even sprouted after yesterday’s spring rain.
A thought suddenly appeared in Gu Yings mind, but he couldn’t be sure if this thought was correct.
If he wanted to verify it, he would naturally have to personally go over and take a look.
He mounted the horse again and patted Little Black’s neck. “Lees go and find your mistress and Big Black!”
Little Black raised its head and snorted a few more times. Then, it rushed out like a black lightning.
After running along the mountain for a while, Little Black turned into a small path halfway up the mountain.
Although it was called a small path, it was actually a beast path created by the hooves of beasts.
On both sides were mountain walls. If one looked up, they would be crushed by the mountain rocks. That suffocating pressure could easily make timid people shrink back and not dare to walk in.
As the space was too narrow, Gu Ying had no choice but to jump off the horse and walk forward with Little Black.
The hoofprints and pawprints on the ground had already overlapped, but there were still no Lin Xi’s footprints. It seemed that she had not dismounted from her horse when she had walked through this small path.
After walking forward for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the area in front of Gu Ying suddenly opened up. In front of him was a Green Valley.
Although the valley was not large, only the size of a few football fields, the dense grass made people’s eyes light up, and the smell of grass in the air was refreshing.
Gu Ying was stunned. He didn’t expect to see such a dense green in a place that had experienced a natural disaster.
It was as if this place was a paradise, completely unaffected. Even in such cold weather, it was still full of vitality.
He judged that there must be resources like hot springs and geothermal energy under this layer, which was why these plants could still grow so luxuriantly even when the early spring had just arrived and the cold of late spring was still powerful.
Gu Ying was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly heard a series of small footsteps approaching quickly.
A cold light flashed at his fingertips, and a few small knives almost flew out of his hands.
A series of rustling sounds came from the grass, and a giant wolf came out from inside. It shook its head and wagged its tail at the lone shadow, very affectionately.
“Hey, it’s you. Did you smell my scent, so you came to pick me up?
Although Gu Ying was cold to humans, he was very close to animals.
He squatted down, his eyes parallel to the wolf’s, and reached out to rub its head and neck.
The giant wolf moaned coquettishly, then turned around and ran a few steps. It turned to look at Gu Ying, as if signaling him to follow..
