Although it was an accident, he also knew not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask. He just needed to bring the person to the place.

About half an hour later, Ah Mao slowed down and spoke again, which was rare for him.

"We will reach a valley in a little while. There is a resting place for me there. We can rest there for a while before moving on. Otherwise, it will be hard to find a resting place if we continue to climb the mountain. There is also ice spring water nearby. You can also drink some water."

"Okay! Drink some water, eat some dry food, and take a nap. My shoes seem to be soaked with water. It would be best if I could warm them up with a fire."

Hua Xin was in high spirits and even had the mood to joke with A-Mao.

A-Mao couldn't help but sigh again in his heart: These two people have really good physical strength!

About quarter of an hour later, the three of them finally reached the valley.

Hua Xin's eyes lit up. There really was a clear stream of water nearby. She reached out and touched it. It was so cool that it made her feel cool all over.

"This is snow water flowing down from the top of Tianshan Mountain. It's so cold."

A Mao took the initiative to explain.

Hua Xin put some in a water bag and tried it. It was icy and a little sweet, and tasted very good.

How great it would be if all this water could be packed into space!

As Hua Xin thought about this, the mineral water bottle from the villa appeared in her hand. While A-Mao and Nangong Ziqiu were not paying attention to her, she filled the bottle and put it back into the space.

Nangong Ziqiu actually saw it, but he tacitly kept silent.

In fact, he had noticed it a long time ago. Since Hua Xin didn't tell him about it, he didn't ask. After all, everyone has secrets.

He even took Ah Mao to the cave he mentioned, saying that he wanted to prepare a place for Hua Xin to rest, and it would be best if they could make a fire.

Hua Xin saw the two people entering the cave, and took out a few mineral water bottles, filled them with a lot and put them in the space. After doing all this, she went into the cave.

The cave was filled with hay, and A-Mao even built a fire near the entrance.

"Xinxin, go to the haystack and take off your shoes. I'll warm them for you."

Nangong Ziqiu pointed to a haystack not far away, on which a cloak had been spread, obviously for Hua Xin to sit.

"it is good."

Hua Xin sat on it and took off her shoes. Nangong Ziqiu took them and helped her warm themselves by the fire.

"There are clean socks in the bag. Take them off too."

Hua Xin did as she was told. It felt good to have someone taking care of her.

After being out for more than three months, Nangong Ziqiu has been taking care of many small things in life.

You wouldn't know this until you get to know each other, and only then will you realize that Nangong Ziqiu is so considerate.

Seeing that they were all busy, Ah Mao said, "You guys take a good rest here. I'll go out and check the surroundings. If there are no wild animals, we can rest here for a while longer."

"Let me go with you!" Nangong Ziqiu stood up when he saw this.

"If you come with me, what will happen to her? Don't worry, I'm familiar with this area." Ah Mao meant that he would not let Nangong Ziqiu follow him no matter what.

Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu looked at each other.

"Okay, go take a look, we can take a break."

A Mao was a little surprised. He thought he would follow Nangong Ziqiu no matter what she said, but as soon as the girl spoke, he kept silent.

It seemed like a relief to hear that they were going to take a break.

After Ah Mao left, Hua Xin jumped up and took down her shoes from next to the grill.

"Hey, these shoes are not dry yet."

Nangong Ziqiu wanted to take the shoes back from Hua Xin, but he heard Hua Xin lower her voice and say, "It's almost done. It's not that wet. Let's go and take a look."

Nangong Ziqiu understood and without saying anything, he directly pulled Hua Xin out.

A-Mao walked a few steps and looked back. Seeing that no one was following him, he followed the flow of the ice spring water upwards and came to a mountain wall. He knocked on one of the parts and suddenly a hole appeared in the mountain wall, and someone walked out from it.

“How many rabbits are there?”

"Two, one male and one female, in the col, ready to attack at any time."

The man nodded when he heard it, and shouted inside again. Soon, more than a dozen people came out, each with a big knife on his waist.

"Mask up, move!"

Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu, who were following behind, immediately used their Qinggong skills to go back and pretend that nothing had happened.

When Hua Xin saw Ah Mao coming back, she pretended to take a short nap.

"Amao, just take us here. We will walk the rest of the way by ourselves."

Hua Xin yawned, took another sip of the water handed to her by Nangong Ziqiu, and looked at A Mao who was packing up to leave.

Ah Mao paused and looked at them in surprise: "We are only halfway through the journey, and you don't need me to lead the way? You don't need me to lead you down the mountain? Then the money you gave me before was a bit too much."

"It's okay. I see that you and your elder brother are not doing well, so I'll leave it to you to improve your lives."

Hua Xin stood up and stretched her muscles, then said, "It's just... you didn't tell us that you have a lot of brothers!"

Ah Mao walked to the cave entrance and pretended not to understand and asked, "What do you mean? I only have one big brother."

"Really? Then who are those people outside?"

Hua Xin restrained her smile. Outside the cave, a man with his face covered rushed in. He spoke in Beirong language, and A Mao's expression obviously changed.

"I'm sorry, don't resist. You won't die."

After saying that, A-Mao ran out.

Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu looked at each other, and the latter immediately came over to protect her.

"Don't mess around! Just tell her what you want to do as long as it doesn't hurt her."

"Nonsense, tie him up and go!"

The man spoke the Great Xia language awkwardly, but Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu did not resist. They wanted to see what shameful things these Beirong people were doing here.

This time it can be said that a blind cat caught a dead mouse, it was really a coincidence.

The two men were put into hoods and led along the way.

At first, she could still feel the cold wind blowing, but then there was no wind. Hua Xin felt that the road under her feet was going downward, but the temperature around her was rising.

It is very likely that they entered the interior of the mountain.

When their hoods were taken off, they were stunned by what they saw.

This is obviously a mined mine, with piles of ore all around it.

After Hua Xin adapted to the dim light, she discovered that the nearest ore was golden. Could it be a gold mine?

"Change clothes and get to work!"

Soon someone threw over two sets of worn-out clothes, and Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu were taken to different areas.

Hua Xin walked and looked, trying to memorize the layout inside.

"Now that you're here, don't think about leaving. I see you have thin arms and legs. In order to suffer less, you should be more obedient." The person who spoke was an older lady. Hua Xin asked curiously, "Auntie, how long have you been here?"
