I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 53: Discovering the City at the Foot of the Mountain

After sending the video to his family, Gu Fu released his mental strength with the place where he was standing as the center point. All he saw were mountains, rocks and trees, and he did not see any place to enter or exit.

Although Gu Fu's mental power has doubled, it is only two hundred miles away. It is still useless in this vast mountain.

The range of the spiritual power exploration was still filled with rocks and jungles, and there was no place that looked like an exit.

Gu Fu said to Daju, "Daju, take me out of the mountain." Daju responded with a hum, and ran in one direction carrying Gu Fu on its back.

Gu Fu lowered his head and lay on the big orange's back, releasing his mental power all the way.

With a clear goal in mind, and Daju having just finished his meal, Gu Fu experienced the thrill of "speeding" in the forest.

Gu Fu and Da Ju moved forward quickly, and Gu Fu kept releasing his spiritual power to detect the surroundings. He found that apart from the mountains, stone forests, and woods, there was no road leading down the mountain.

With the big orange running at 80 miles per hour, the man and the tiger ran for an hour and came to a small stream. At this time, Gu Fu's mental strength could no longer see the place where he came from.

Daju was also exhausted and panting, so he lay down and waited for Gu Fu to come down. Then he came to the stream and couldn't wait to put his head into the stream, drinking the water with a gurgling sound.

Gu Fu also took out food from the space and gave Daju a large piece of beef.

Gu Fu thought of the spiritual dew in the space. He wondered if it would be useful to drink it now. Could it quickly restore his physical strength? Gu Fu drank another small glass of wine. Then he gave Daju half a glass of red wine. This time the amount was less than the first time, but he didn't feel any pain all over his body. But his strength did recover a lot.

Thinking of his promise to his grandfather, Gu Fu released his mental power to detect that there was no one nearby, and there was a tiger guarding, so no animals would come over. So he started a video call in the group.

After one or two rings, the call was connected. Although he had only been away for a few hours, Gu Fu found that he missed his family. Of course, the Gu family members were the same. Everyone picked up the video call. At this time, the Gu family members were having dinner. Gu Dahe almost cried when he saw his daughter and said, "My daughter, Dad misses you so much. Where are you now? Have you eaten?"

Gu Fu took his phone and took a picture around and said, "I am now more than 300 miles away from home. We are now resting and eating by a stream." Gu Fu then took out his phone to take a picture of the self-heating rice he was eating.

Mr. Gu said, "Fu, have you encountered any danger?"

"Grandpa, Fu'er is fine. He is not in danger. However, this direction is full of mountains and stone forests. There is no way to get in or out of the mountains. But if someone goes deep into the mountains, they can directly reach the valley. So Fu'er wants to continue moving forward to see where the outside world is."

Old Master Gu hurriedly warned, "Fuer, you can't leave the mountain. We don't know what the situation is like outside. It will be troublesome if we encounter a rebellious army. Come back when you see the exit."

Gu Fu hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay grandpa, Fuer knows."

Others also showed concern for Fu'er. Wen said, "If I had known you were going to patrol the mountains, you should have told me in advance. I would have made you some delicious food and put it in the space. You can just take it out when you want to eat, and it will be convenient for you to eat."

Gu Fu said, "It's okay, mother. Fu'er has self-heating rice. It's not difficult to eat. But Fu'er still misses the braised beef made by mother. When Fu'er returns, I'll bring you a wild buffalo, and we'll make braised beef for you."

Mrs. Wen quickly stopped him: "Mother doesn't want wild buffalo. Fu'er is not allowed to take risks to hunt buffalo. Listen to your grandfather and come back as soon as you find a way. The beef in your space is enough for our family to eat."

In order to stop her daughter from taking risks, Wen quickly thought of an excuse, not realizing that she and her family felt that they could not rely on Gu Fu to make a living. They always asked Gu Fu to take less things out, so would Gu Fu believe it now? Gu Dahai, Jiang, Gu Dajiang and Miao also told Gu Fu to be careful, pay attention to safety and come back early.

A few boys were even more curious and asked: "Sister, how fast can the big orange run?"

"Sister, have you seen any other tigers?"

"Sister, can you take me with you on your next mountain patrol?"

Gu Fu answered them one by one to satisfy his brothers' curiosity.

After everyone talked for a while, Gu Fu turned off the video, put away his phone, and continued to explore.

The purpose of Gu Fu's trip was very clear, which was to first explore whether there was a way in and out of the mountain to avoid any unknown risks. The place where Gu Fu lived was too big, and Gu Fu's mental power could only detect the foot of the mountain from the house, which was completely ineffective in warning his family.

Gu Fu released his spiritual power to detect the area where he was now, which should still be within the sphere of influence of Daju. So he did not detect any large animals along the way. They were all small ones, such as antelopes and wild boars. Occasionally, he could see one or two lost deer running through the forest.

After the man and the tiger rested, they continued on their journey. Then Daju led Gu Fu through the forest and a small valley. In the valley, a group of deer were running away from a distance.

The road in the valley was flatter and easier to walk on. Daju ran faster. Soon he entered a mountain in front of him. After crossing the mountain, he saw fog in front of him. Even if Gu Fu released his mental power, he couldn't see what was inside. Daju just ran straight into the thick fog regardless of anything.

Gu Fu was anxious, but it was too late to stop it. Thick fog usually means there is a swamp or miasma, because you can't see what's inside, and you have an instinctive fear of the unknown.

But Daju was too fast and it was too late to stop him. Daju took Gu Fu and ran into the thick fog. Gu Fu quickly held his breath and closed his eyes and accepted his fate. Daju ran in the thick fog for a while, then jumped back and forth a few times, and suddenly the view in front of him was clear.

Gu Fu looked around and saw that he had come to the edge of a cliff. There was a relatively flat stone platform on the mountain beside the cliff. Stepping onto the stone platform, he entered a cave in the mountain. This cave was relatively large, as big as a modern bridge hole. Daju could easily pass through with Gu Fu on his back. Standing on the stone platform and looking down, he saw clouds and mist in front of him, and thick fog rolling, as if there was a bottomless abyss under his feet, making him dare not move rashly.

When Gu Fu released his spiritual power, all he saw was thick fog, and he couldn't see anything more.

Gu Fu thought that this was a natural barrier. If someone came here and saw the cliffs and rolling clouds, they would think they were in a dead end. One man and one tiger passed through the cave. They walked to the other side of the cave and stood there overlooking the ground far away. There were still a few high and low mountains in front of them, and there were vaguely buildings below them.

Gu Fu took out the telescope from the space. He put it in front of his eyes and the telescope automatically focused. He saw that there was indeed a town under the low hill in front of him. The city walls were tall and solid. There were soldiers guarding it. But he didn't know where it was. Was it a city occupied by the rebel army or a city of the current dynasty?
