Chapter 107 Entering Pingyang County

So, Zhou Laoba took the big knife from He Zhiran, cut a few pieces of fresh bear meat, and then followed her example, tied it up with vines, and prepared to take it up the mountain with him.

Seeing that there was still so much meat left, Zhou Laoba was really reluctant to give it up, and he made the suggestion somewhat embarrassedly.

"I went down the mountain to look for you before daybreak, and I haven't eaten anything yet. Why don't we roast some bear meat here and eat our fill before leaving the valley?"

What he said was absolutely true. After reaching a consensus with Peng Wang late at night to look for Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran, Zhou Laoba did not wait for a moment. He held a torch and searched in the direction they disappeared.

He then discovered the bodies of countless men in black. When he reached the cliff, he carefully discovered traces of many people stepping on it.

The cliff was almost the end of the mountain, and he guessed that the two might have fallen from here.

Therefore, he rushed down the mountain at night and entered this valley.

He Zhiran knew that it would take a lot of time to find the valley without Zhou Laoba saying too much.

After walking for so long, it would be strange if he wasn't hungry.

"Okay, let's roast the bear meat here, and then we can continue our journey after we're full."

In order to take care of the two injured men, He Zhiran personally built a frame.

It’s still the old method, skewering the bear meat with branches and roasting it over the fire.

Mo Jiuye had already thoroughly understood He Zhiran's space and knew that she might take some seasonings out of the space when she was grilling meat.

In order to prevent Zhou Laoba from discovering anything, he deliberately took people aside to ask about his family's situation.

He Zhiran seized this opportunity and took out some seasonings that were not particularly strong in taste from the space and sprinkled them on the bear meat.

Soon, the bear meat was roasted, and the three of them gathered around the fire to eat before continuing their journey together.

Zhou Laoba led the way in front, and He Zhiran supported Mo Jiuye from behind.

Because they walked too slowly, the three of them didn't get out of the valley until the afternoon.

The scene before them was not unfamiliar to them, as it was the place where they had climbed up Niujiao Mountain.

Zhou Laoba looked at the sky, pointed in a direction and said, "If you keep going along this road, you will reach Pingyang County in about two hours."

He Zhiran knew that they were about to separate, so in order to reassure Zhou Laoba, she promised again:

"Don't worry, Master Zhou. I promise I won't be left behind for too long. I'll have to trouble you to explain things to Brother Peng. As for our families, please tell them that my husband and I are doing well and will be seeing them in a few days."

Zhou Laoba nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on your message. Please be careful on the road."

The three of them said goodbye, and only when they could no longer see Zhou Laoba did He Zhiran take Mo Jiuye to a secluded place and slip into the space.

If Zhou Laoba hadn't been there just now, He Zhiran would never have allowed Mo Jiuye to walk such a long way.

I guess his wound might have split open by now.

The first thing she had to do was to help Mo Jiuye check his injuries.

He Zhiran randomly found a place to store the several large bear paws and a bear gallbladder in her hands. Since the space had a freshness-preserving function, she was not worried that the bear meat would become stale.

Mo Jiuye did feel discomfort in his wound at this moment, and obediently let He Zhiran check him.

After the examination, He Zhiran breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Jiuye's condition was better than she had imagined. The knife wounds on his body were basically fine, except for the most serious one on his lower abdomen, which was bleeding.

Fortunately, there were no signs of cracking at the stitched area, which was probably caused by friction on the wound due to his excessive movements.

He Zhiran helped Mo Jiuye re-apply medicine and bandage the wound, and said solemnly:

"You stay in the space for now. I can travel faster on my own and try to reach Pingyang County before dark."

Mo Jiuye knew in his heart that in his current condition, if he wanted to accompany her on the journey, he would be a burden, so he did not refuse.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"Yeah." He Zhiran responded and then flashed out of the space.

The journey was smooth and we arrived in Pingyang County before the sun set.

Unlike the county towns I had entered before, here you have to pay to enter the city...

There was a small square table on one side of the city gate, and a wooden box on the table was very conspicuous.

All the people who entered the city would throw some copper coins into the wooden box.

In He Zhiran's opinion, such situations mostly occur because the officials are greedy and find some nonsensical excuses to exploit the people.

In order to avoid trouble, He Zhiran also imitated the people and threw five copper coins into the wooden box.

Looking at the common people who paid copper coins to enter the city, they all had expressions of inexpressible suffering.

Obviously he was unhappy about having to pay to go into the city.

Just when she was about to find someone to ask about it in detail, there was a sudden sound of people falling to the ground.

"Everyone, get out of the way! My horse is frightened. If you don't want to die, get out of the way."

He Zhiran stood by the road and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a young man dressed like a playboy riding a tall horse and rushing around the street.

After knocking over several roadside stalls, the horse finally calmed down and stopped right next to He Zhiran.

The young man got off his horse cursing and landed next to He Zhiran.

"Go away! You dare to stand in front of me? Are you going to die?"

As he said that, the young man raised his foot to kick He Zhiran away.

Just as he raised his leg, he saw He Zhiran's face at a glance.

Even a worn-out linen dress could not hide her beauty.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and his raised leg was put down unconsciously.

"Whose family are you from, young lady? Why don't you come with me and have some fun together?"

He Zhiran felt nauseous when he saw such a person.

"Get out of here! Don't you even look at your own character?"

After saying that, He Zhiran turned around and wanted to leave.

If she didn't want to cause trouble, she would definitely beat up such a person.

That young man is a scoundrel and there is no way he would let her leave like that.

He Zhiran had just taken a step when the young man stood in front of her.

"Yoho... the young lady has a pretty hot temper, I like it."

As he said this, the young man was about to go forward and put his arm around her shoulders.

He Zhiran was instantly driven crazy by such a shameless person.

She grabbed the young man's arm and threw him over her shoulder beautifully.

“Ahhhhh…”

With a scream from the young man, he fell to the hard ground, his face twisted in pain.

He pointed at He Zhiran and cursed, "Bitch, do you know who I am?

Do you believe that I can make you disappear from this world with just one word from me?

And your entire family, no one can be left alive."
