Chapter 741: Alone

Editor: Henyee Translations

They were lost.

Shao Qingyuan pursed his lips. He wasn’t afraid of getting lost. If he was given more time, he could still find his way.

However, Dai Zhong had been stung by the hornets. He definitely could not stay in the deep mountains anymore. He had to get out as soon as possible.

As Shao Qingyuan found the Purple Flower Earth Ding and crushed it for Dai Zhong to ease the pain, he lowered his eyes and thought about leaving the mountain.

Dai Wenhuo had no intention of continuing to search. He came over to discuss with Shao Qingyuan.

He also had a map in his hand. It was about the villages around the Nine Tigers Mountain.

Shao Qingyuan was more familiar with the Nine Tigers Mountain. Based on the time and route when they entered the mountain, he could roughly guess where they were now.

“Let’s go out of the mountain first. This way, it should be between Xiaoshi Village and Heshan Village.”

Dai Wenhuo nodded. After resting for a while, he helped Dai Zhong out of the mountain.

Fortunately, although Dai Wenhuo led everybody on the wrong way for a while, he was aiming out of the mountain. Therefore, when the group saw the village, the sky had just darkened.

The few of them heaved a sigh of relief and quickened their pace.

Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, they bumped into a young man carrying a basket on his back.

The young man was stunned for a moment. “Who… are you?”

After staying in the mountains for so many days, especially in the end, when they almost lost their shoes to avoid the hornets, they were in a sorry state.

Gu Yundong, on the other hand, was better off. Hence, she went forward and asked, “May I ask where this is? We lost our way hunting in the mountains and finally found our away.”

The young man’s eyes widened. “You guys went deep into the mountains?”

He then looked at Dai Zhong, who clearly did not look too good. “Is he injured?”

“He was stung by hornets,” Gu Yundong said.

The young man quickly said, “Then we have to find a doctor to take a look first. If a hornet stings someone, it will kill them. This is Qinnan Village. My house is down there. Why don’t you go to my house to rest first?”

As he spoke, the youth tightened the basket on his back and hurriedly led the way.

Qinnan Village? This didn’t seem to be within the range of Xiaoshi Village to Heshan Village.

It seemed that they had deviated from the route, but fortunately, they had a place to stay after leaving the mountains.

The few of them followed the youth down the mountain. Gu Yundong chatted with him as they walked.

Only then did she understand that the young man’s name was Qin Shu. He was only 13 years old this year and was even younger than Gu Yundong.

Qinnan Village was very remote and extremely poor. There was a river separating it from Qinbei Village on the other side. The two small villages were in the mountains, so it was not easy to get out of town.

There were less than 200 people in the entire village, and the land was very barren.

However, Qin Shu seemed to be very happy. He said, “There are very few outsiders in our village. It’s very cold. However, you’re lucky. There’s a doctor in our Qinnan Village. Although he can’t treat serious diseases, he can deal with hornet stings. I’ll look for him later. You guys rest first.”

As they spoke, Qin Shu had already led them to a small courtyard.

Qin Shu opened the courtyard door and put down the basket on his back. He called them in to sit.

“I’ll get you some water.”

Gu Yundong sized up the courtyard in front of her. It was very small and dilapidated. There did not seem to be anyone in the house except for Qin Shu.

There were only two rooms and only one set of things.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and quickly understood that this youth was alone.
