Chapter 463: Special Whistle

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ying stopped here because the giant wolf that was following him in the dark had sent him a message.

It smelled the scent of the Bai family.

He placed the giant wolf in the forest outside and let it hunt freely. Gu Ying led Little Black into the town slowly.

This place was further north from Chu City, and it was not on any major traffic arteries. The entire town seemed a little desolate.

Fortunately, it was the busy season for spring plowing, so there was a large area of farmland outside the town.

The crops that had been sown in time for spring plowing had already produced green seedlings in a few days.

It was close to evening, and the people who were busy farming in the fields had already finished work and gone home. The entire town was filled with smoke, and it looked especially peaceful and peaceful.

Gu Ying walked to the door of the only inn in the town. He looked at the sign on the door that said it was closed and knocked on the door a few times.

“Who is it!”

Soon, footsteps came from the room.

“Shopkeeper, I was just passing by and missed the inn in front. I heard that there was an inn here, so I rushed over. Open the door.”

Gu Ying said in a deep voice.

Before he reunited with MO Ruyue, he might not even be able to say a word for ten days to half a month.

Now that he was by MO Ruyue’s side, he was starting to show signs of being talkative.

The wooden door creaked open, and a man in coarse blue clothes stood at the door. He immediately greeted Gu Ying warmly when he saw him.

“Aiya, Customer, where did you come from? Looking at your travel-worn body, you must have walked a long way. Please come in!”

As he spoke, he was about to take Little Black’s reins, but the tall black horse breathed a warm breath, scaring him so much that he almost fell back. “Let me do it. This old friend of mine doesn’t like to be touched by strangers.”

Gu Ying refused his help. He held Little Black’s hand and followed behind the waiter. They went around the wall and entered through the back door.

After placing Little Black in the stable and feeding him with water and fodder, he walked to the house in front of him and began to register.

“The room fee for a day is five copper coins. It includes three meals, as well as the cost of feeding and taking care of the horses.”

“That room is already the best single room here. There’s also a hot water supply. The rest are basically large common beds. After all, we rarely have people coming here. Even if they come, they’re all small caravans or something.”

“I don’t think you’re the type to stay in a shared room, so I took the initiative to choose that single room for you. Please don’t be angry.”

The waiter was apologetic.

It was rare for him to meet a customer. In addition, there was a natural disaster some time ago, and the caravans from the south stopped all of a sudden. The already bleak business was even worse.

Five wens might not be much in the eyes of others, but for people like them who did small businesses, it was enough to save for half a month.

“Yes, that one.”

Gu Ying took out a piece of silver from his pocket and pushed it forward on the table.

“Keep the change. I might stay for a few more days. I’ll settle the bill when I leave. ‘

The reason why he stopped here was to find the clues left behind by the Bai family.

At first) he and MO Ruyue had only guessed that something had happened to the Bai Family. However, after finding clues in such a remote town, Gu Ying could basically confirm that something had happened.

No matter how the Bai family hid from the world to avoid disaster, they still opened a restaurant in the county town and lived a wealthy life without worrying about food and clothing. It did not affect their lives.

But now, they had abandoned the peaceful Chu City and tried to go to remote places instead.

This was not as simple as an accident, but something big had happened.

Families like the Bai family had their own set of mature mechanisms to avoid disasters. Once the conditions for triggering the mechanism were met, they would immediately split up and act separately.

A single target was too big, so it was best to separate them out. Once they merged into the common people, it would be difficult to distinguish them one by one.

Gu Ying took the room card and key from the waiter. He refused dinner and returned to his room after getting hot water.

This inn had two floors. The first floor was the dining hall and shared beds, while the second floor was the individual guest rooms.

The room Gu Ying was in was the second room around the corner on the second floor. It was just right on the street.

He had brought along the dry rations that MO Ruyue had prepared, which were stored in another miniature capsule. They were much more delicious than the food cooked in a small rural restaurant.

Soon, there was another knock on the door. It was the waiter who came to bring hot water.

Gu Ying gave him an extra tip and told him that he didn’t need anything else tonight. The waiter understood and went away with the tip in his hand. After washing his hands and face in a hurry, Gu Ying opened the miniature

capsule according to MO Ruyue’s demonstration.

He remembered that there was a very famous Japanese manga in the past, which had the usage of the miniature capsule.

Not only could it store food and medicine, but it could also store vehicles, small houses, and so on.

With just a few small capsules, he could bring his home with him at any time. It was simply too convenient.

However, MO Ruyue’s research had limited space. It was only about three times three cubic meters.

It was more than enough to store some clothes, medicine, and food, but it was far from enough to put them in carriages, houses, and so on.

He opened the capsule containing the food. There was a small refrigerator, a set of simple military cooking utensils, and a microwave.

As for the power supply, it was a few solar cells.

As long as it was exposed to the sun on a sunny day and accumulated enough solar energy, the electricity stored in it could even support a small field hospital.

MO Ruyue had already filled the refrigerator with food in advance and sealed it in a vacuum bag so that it could be stored for a long time.

Gu Ying opened a bag of mixed fruits, vegetables, and meat. He quickly heated it up in the microwave and wolfed it down.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker. After Gu Ying had eaten his fill and rested for a while, he opened the window facing the street and nimbly climbed out.

Since they were going to hide in the world, the Bai family wouldn’t show up with great fanfare.

If the giant wolf had not detected the scent left behind by the Bai family, even Gu Ying would have missed this clue.

His figure was as swift as a ghost, silently passing through the small town and dashing toward the forest outside.

The giant wolf, which had also eaten and drunk its fill, was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. If he wanted to find the Bai family, he would have to rely on this old friend’s help.

“Let’s go. It’s time for you to show off your skills.”

Gu Ying muttered.

Gu Ying and the wolf quickly blended into the night and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Gu Ying followed behind the giant wolf and watched it bring him all the way into the mountains.

It was likely that some members of the Bai family had entered the mountains directly. However, it was still unknown how many people had passed through this place and how many resources they had brought with them. It was also unknown if they could last until the end.

He held a special whistle in his hand.

This was a special communication post that the Bai family had given to MO Ruyue..
