From the outside, the opening looked small, and you'd have to squeeze in to get in, but I didn't expect the space inside to be so big.
Xiaoqing thought for a moment, then climbed out again, found a piece of bark to measure, and it fit perfectly.
Once he climbs inside, he can cover the bark with it, and then no one will know that it's hollow inside and that someone is hiding there!
Wow, he's so smart.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiaoqing walked around the tree and laid out some leaves to cover up the footprints and traces.
Now there's absolutely no trace of anyone having been here.
Xiaoqing nodded in satisfaction and was about to climb in when she heard a swishing sound.
Is it the boy who cried wolf? Or what is it?
Just as he was about to climb into the tree hole, a woman ran up to him.
"Save...Save..."
The woman had disheveled hair, was breathing heavily, and her face was as white as a ghost.
Xiaoqing was so frightened that her heart jumped into her throat, and she almost fainted.
The woman lay motionless on the ground before he even got close.
A disheveled woman suddenly appears in the deep mountains and forests. Could she be a ghost?
Ghost!
Wait, why isn't the ghost moving?
Xiaoqing clutched her pounding heart, mustered her courage, found a twig, and poked it.
Soft?
Not a ghost?
After much mental preparation, Xiaoqing went over and found that it really was a person. She checked their breathing and found that they were still alive.
Could she have gotten lost in the deep mountains like him? It was already dark, and wild animals might appear soon. Xiaoqing thought for a moment, then used a lot of strength to stuff the woman into the tree hole.
Then I cleaned up the surrounding area. As for the areas further away, I didn't care.
He climbed inside and covered the tree with bark, but the inside of the tree hole was pitch black. He wondered if he should open the tree hole a little.
Even wild animals shouldn't be able to detect it, right?
The moment the thought crossed my mind, I heard a noise outside and immediately froze in fright.
"Search! The footprints are all around here, how could they have vanished into thin air!"
"A patient who gets out of breath after walking just a few steps can't run far at all!"
Zhang Xiucheng's face was full of anger. Who would have thought that a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken would just run away under the pretext of relieving herself?
Searching for people in the mountains became much more difficult, especially after dark when wild animals appeared, making it even more challenging.
He had already gotten his hands on the person, but then the person escaped. How could he possibly be satisfied with that?
"You shameless bitch, you actually dared to run away! When I find her, I'll make her wish she were dead!"
Xiaoqing covered her mouth and hid in the tree hole, not daring to breathe!
Are these people looking for this woman?
What's his identity? He's saved himself from a hot potato; he should have known better than to help.
If we don't save him now, he'll die!
These people searched the spot several times, and Xiaoqing didn't dare to breathe loudly inside the tree hole.
It was late at night, and no one had come for a long time. Xiaoqing carefully moved the bark to create a gap.
A little moonlight shone through the hole in the tree.
The moon is usually fullest on the 16th of the lunar month, and tonight's moon is exceptionally bright.
Xiaoqing could barely make out that the woman with long, flowing hair must be quite pretty.
Several hours have passed since then, and he hasn't moved at all. Could he be dead?
Seeing the woman lying motionless on the ground, Xiaoqing checked her breathing, thought for a moment, then took out her own water and drank some.
He came out with a water pouch and a small personal bag.
It couldn't be poured in.
She definitely couldn't eat dry rations, so Xiaoqing decided to eat some herself first.
While I was rummaging through my things, I touched my peach.
This peach was given to him by Yun Meimei. He secretly hid it while they were eating it last night.
Thinking of keeping a memento for himself, he touched the peach, thought it over and over, and reluctantly squeezed a little peach juice into the woman's mouth.
I wanted to eat the remaining peaches, but I resisted the urge.
This is the only peach he has left. He might never see them again, so let's keep it as a memento.
For safety's sake, Xiaoqing carefully put the bark back on.
The wind rustled the leaves, and occasionally a wolf howled from the mountains.
……
……
As it grew later and later, Xiaoqing still hadn't returned.
Seeing that there was still no news from Gu Nanfeng, Qin Niangzi's expression grew increasingly grim.
Lin Shuyun settled accounts with the workers and began making arrangements.
“Let’s split into three groups to find them. I’ll go one group alone, you, my husband, the old man, and my aunt will go together, and your friends will go together.”
Seeing this, Tingni quickly said, "I'll stay with Brother Jiang. I know some martial arts, so I can protect him if we encounter any wild animals."
The mountains are dangerous, especially after dark, so the young general must never be alone.
Jiang Changtian wanted to go with Lin Shuyun, but seeing that she had already made arrangements, he had no choice but to say, "Moyun, you go with her. I'm worried about you going alone."
The last sentence was said to Lin Shuyun.
Lin Shuyun didn't bring anyone with her because she was afraid it would be inconvenient for her to perform, but since Mo Yun, who looked honest, was with her, she nodded.
"Alright, let's arrange it this way. Get the torches ready so they can keep things lit after dark."
Jin She suddenly spoke up, "I'll go too. Mo Yun's skills in the forest are not as good as mine."
Qingfeng frowned. "Golden Snake, don't cause any trouble at this crucial moment. Finding someone is the priority."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't know my place, and I won't deliberately make things difficult for you. Just leave me alone from now on." The golden snake scoffed coldly, too lazy to pay attention to Qingfeng.
Tingni chuckled, "You want to make things difficult for me? The problem is you have to be able to beat him. Brother Jiang won't even give you a chance to make a move!"
"you……"
"Stop fooling around, hurry up and find someone." After Jiang Changtian finished speaking, the others became serious.
The three people went their separate ways into the mountains.
After entering the mountain, Jin She made an excuse and left alone, and Lin Shuyun completely ignored her.
They hadn't walked far when they ran into someone.
I thought it would be Xiaoqing, but it turned out to be five other girls.
Upon seeing the familiar Xiugu and Jingzhe, Lin Shuyun greeted them, "It's you two! What a coincidence! What are you doing in the mountains so late at night? Where's your beautiful wife?"
She seemed to have dreamt of a great beauty last night? She looked at all five people's faces, but none of them were great beauties, and each of them was injured to varying degrees.
"Who are you? How dare you be so disrespectful to my lady!"
Xiugu thought it was Zhang's bastards who had come, but she didn't expect it to be a man and a woman.
He recognized them from their conversation and even seemed to be flirting with the lady, which immediately made Liu Mei's eyebrows furrow and she picked up the dagger on the ground.
Seeing the other party's strong reaction, Lin Shuyun finally remembered that she had smudged her face earlier, so the two of them didn't recognize her at all.
"Aunt Xiu, what are you doing here?"
Mo Yun, standing behind Lin Shuyun, was quite surprised.
"Mo Yun, what are you doing in the mountains?" Xiu Gu recognized Mo Yun and was very surprised.
"Did you send the grass wreath that Madam received? Did you find the young general?"
