If he hadn't recognized the red mole on Ye Jin's ear when they met last time, and her appearance hadn't changed much from before, Gu Yan really wouldn't have known that the distance between them was so close.

Gu Yan smiled and spread out the note. He originally thought that the girl came to ask for help, but unexpectedly, she asked him to go to Wangjia Village to help find out some information.

Gu Yan took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote a few big words in a flamboyant manner.

"Got it. Wangjia Village is a long way away. You have to take good care of yourself while I'm away. Don't get into any conflicts with your stepmother. Wait for me to come back!"

Gu Yan tore off half a page of paper, thought about it, and felt that what he wrote was too straightforward.

In Ye Jin's opinion, the two of them had only met once, and it took a lot of courage for her to ask him for help. He thought about it and wrote a new note.

"Leave it to me, take care of yourself and wait for my good news."

The words were more restrained after the revision, but Gu Yan was still afraid of scaring the girl, so he thought about it and revised it again.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Even if there are thousands of words in my heart, in the end they can only be turned into six big words.

He crumpled up the note he had written and threw it on the ground, then carried his hunting rifle and headed towards Wangjia Village.

Ye Jin returned home and ate lunch as if nothing had happened. In the afternoon, while Wang Fengqin and her daughter were taking a nap, she quietly went out again.

Holding a written note in her hand, she didn't know whether what Gu Yan said would work or not, but given her current situation, it was unlikely for her to leave the village.

More importantly, Wang Shi is a scoundrel, and even if he finds him, he may not be able to defeat him.

A young girl who came to Wangjia Village alone where she was unfamiliar with the place could easily be bullied.

Ye Jin came to the pine forest on the back mountain. Among the many pine trees, he saw the crooked-necked pine tree at a glance.

Not only did the tree look strange, but there was also a stone placed under the tree. The stone was polished into a round shape, and it was obvious that someone often sat there.

She walked around the crooked tree and found a hidden hole in the trunk. If Gu Yan hadn't reminded her, it would have been difficult to find.

She stuffed the note into the tree hole, covered it with bark and branches, walked around the pine tree, and made sure there was nothing unusual. Then she clapped her hands and prepared to leave.

"Squeak, squeak."

A soft cry was heard, and then a ball of fur fell from another pine tree.

A fiery red little squirrel, with its limbs curled up, its big tail swinging slowly, twitching in pain on the ground.

Ye Jin carefully picked it up, and the little guy kept struggling with his eyes slightly closed.

Ye Jin didn't know how to save the squirrel, so she broke off a piece of grass as a straw, scooped a spoonful of spring water from the space, and slowly poured it into the squirrel's mouth through the straw.

The little guy, who had been motionless just now, opened and closed his mouth to prove that he was still alive. The sweet spring water poured into his mouth, and the little squirrel slowly opened his eyes.

Ye Jin broke off a piece of radish and threw it on the ground. The little squirrel held the radish, sniffed it, took a bite out of curiosity, and chewed it slowly. After a while, it couldn't stop.

It held the radish with its two front paws and ate it madly. I don’t know how its small body could eat so much, but it actually ate half of the radish.

The little guy who was dying just now soon became lively and energetic after Ye Jin's treatment.

Seeing that the little guy had recovered, Ye Jin left with a smile.

She had just taken a few steps when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she saw the little guy following her closely.

"I have to leave now. Come home as soon as you recover."

The little guy seemed not to hear and continued to follow closely.

"You want to go home with me?"

Ye Jin asked tentatively, and the little squirrel moved its head, as if nodding.

"But I can barely take care of myself right now, how can I have the energy to take care of you?"

Ye Jin sighed. If her life was stable, she would naturally be willing to raise such a cute little guy.

The little guy didn't care, jumped up from the ground, hugged her thighs, and quickly climbed onto her shoulders and stood up.

"You ignorant little thing, where is your home? I will take you back."

Ye Jin found the pine tree where the little squirrel fell, and discovered that there was a hidden tree hole high up in the pine tree. This should be the little squirrel's home.

"Go back to your own home!"

The little squirrel jumped onto the tree and quickly climbed into the tree hole. After a while, various chestnuts, pine nuts, and hazelnuts kept falling out of the tree hole.

These dried fruits are packed very neatly, and you can tell at first glance that this is a diligent little squirrel.

"This is all your food for the winter. Are you planning to give it all to me?"

Ye Jin saw the little squirrel's intention. The little guy held a round chestnut in his two front paws. He raised his head and looked at Ye Jin eagerly, saying that if the chestnut tasted good, he would treat her to more chestnuts.

"Is this something you're treating me to?" Ye Jin took the chestnut and bit into it. The shell of the chestnut was dry, and the flesh was separated from the shell. The flesh had a hint of sweetness, and the taste was quite intoxicating.

"Delicious, the chestnuts you gave me are amazing!"

Ye Jin was generous with her praise, and the little squirrel grabbed her trouser leg and urged her to put the nuts away quickly.

Ye Jin didn't need to avoid the squirrel, and immediately collected all the nuts into the space.

The little squirrel pulled her to another place, and under the guidance of the little guy, Ye Jin quickly found another nest of nuts.

These nuts are buried in the ground, covered with mud and grass, making them difficult for ordinary people to find.

Ye Jin happily put away the nuts, but she didn't expect that the little guy would take her to another place.
