He Tiantian wrung out her clothes before looking around.

They were now in a very deep valley. Falling from such a height, they would have all died if it weren't for the large river below.

The two stun guns she bought at great expense were lost somewhere during the fall.

Everyone was looking around at their surroundings. Zhao Dahai and Zhao Neng even went to the river to drink water. It seemed they hadn't drunk enough water.

"Father, the water here is so sweet and refreshing. It tastes even better than the well water in our village!" Zhao Dahai called Zhao Tingzhang over.

The old man couldn't resist either, and ran over to drink water as well.

On the riverbank stood He Tiantian, Zhao Yan, and Zhang the hunter.

Hunter Zhang frowned as he looked around and said worriedly, "This place is surrounded by high mountains; it might be difficult to get out."

This was exactly what He Tiantian was worried about. Although she had a system, it wouldn't tell her exactly where to go.

Only after she chooses her own path will the system provide her with guidance on how to avoid dangers.

After the others were overjoyed, they realized their current situation.

Zhao Tingzhang walked up to He Tiantian, his pipe damp with sweat. He Tiantian truly admired him for not letting go of the pipe even in such a dangerous moment.

"Although we've found a water source, let's not get too excited yet. First, how do we get this water into the village? Second, how do we get out of here? These are the most important questions," He Tiantian said.

“Yes, Aunt He is right. But we fell from such a height, how are we going to get back?” Zhao Yan asked worriedly.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

The two big dogs, Wujin and Coconut, were also excited to see the water, and the two big guys showed no fear whatsoever. They started running wildly along the riverbank, and then plunged into the water with a splash.

He Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Why don't we just follow the current? Maybe we'll find an exit."

It was already afternoon, although the light in the valley was brighter than it had been in the mountains.

But it gets dark early in the mountains, so they need to get out as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they would be in even greater danger at night.

The group quickened their pace. Everyone thought the life rings He Tiantian had just bought from the mall were good items, so they all took them.

However, although everyone had questions in their hearts, they all surprisingly refrained from asking any further questions.

I don't know how long I walked, but the light in the mountains gradually brightened. The road ahead was no longer rugged, but flat.

He Tiantian suddenly thought of the Peach Blossom Spring she had learned about in the book, because the scenery here was even more beautiful than the one in the mountains she had just been in.

An endless sea of ​​fiery red flowers swayed in the wind, and tender green grass exuded vibrant life.

Zhao Yan was filled with excitement, "This...this...I never imagined there was such beautiful scenery inside Wolf Mountain."

The group was filled with amazement. Chief Zhao was already considering that it would be even more beautiful if all the villagers were moved here.

Ujin and Coconut, having just washed themselves, ran around in the sea of ​​flowers, both dogs exuding a captivating fragrance.

He Tiantian called the two little guys over and whispered a few words of advice in their ears.

The two large creatures dashed off like the wind, and Zhang the hunter witnessed it all.

He was usually a man of few words, but even he couldn't help but ask, "Maruko's mom, what were you saying to them just now?"

He Tiantian smiled sheepishly, "I had them lead the way to see if they could find our horses. After all, dogs have a good nose, right?"

Zhang the hunter nodded. He had been hunting for many years and had several hunting dogs at home.

But none of them seem to have the same intelligence as these two. I wonder how Maruko-chan trained them.

Zhao Neng also curiously leaned closer, "Maruko's mom, will this work?"

"Dad, even if we can't do it, we don't have a dog's nose or a dog's legs, do we?" Zhao Yan interrupted.

I don't know if comparing his father to a dog is appropriate.

Zhao Neng didn't realize there was anything wrong with what his son said, and even nodded in agreement.

The group continued onward, with Zhao Tingzhang now solely focused on finding the horse.

Because that was Director Song's carriage, extremely valuable. He couldn't afford to lose it.

From dawn to sunset.

Everyone was exhausted, but they all agreed not to stop. Although the mountains were beautiful, they felt safer staying at home.

As the sun began to set, the sky gradually darkened.

After running for so long, Wujin and Coconut finally caught up with the group. The two dogs grabbed He Tiantian's ankles and dragged her in one direction.

They exchanged glances and, with a sense of agreement, followed behind the two dogs.

Wujin and Coconut ran fast ahead, and the group started running too.

At this point, everyone disregarded any potential dangers and placed all their hopes on the two dogs.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding environment gradually became familiar.

Zhao Yan tore off a piece of red cloth in surprise, "Look, isn't this the way we came?"

The group's faces lit up with joy, and they ran a little further before finally hearing the neighing of horses.

"Haha, that's wonderful! Maruko's mother, you've raised two precious babies!" Zhao Tingzhang clapped his hands excitedly.

The group finally found the carriage to return to before it got completely dark. Wujin and Coconut were so tired that they were lying on the carriage, panting heavily with their tongues sticking out.

Zhao Yan was no longer afraid and happily stroked the two dogs' heads. He even thoughtfully massaged their backs.

Zhao Neng chuckled. Although he had also grown fond of the two big guys, he couldn't help but complain about his son.

"You little rascal, you've never even given your old man a back massage in all your life. But you're very attentive to the dog."

"Hahaha." Zhao Dahai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The carriage traveled very fast, and at night in the mountains, it was impossible to see the road.

Moreover, because the mountains are so quiet, the only sounds you can hear are the clatter of horses' hooves and the rolling of cart shafts.

If a group of people don't chat to distract themselves, it can be quite eerie in this old forest late at night.

They didn't know how long they had been traveling by carriage, but they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a few scattered lights in the village.

When the carriage reached the crossroads, the village patrol team was patrolling at the village entrance.

There are seven people on patrol today, all of them men who came back from working in the mine during the day.

The group immediately became alert upon seeing the carriage, and only greeted the people after they had clearly identified who had arrived.

"Chief, you're back!" Zhao Si said as he stepped forward.

Liu Yonghe was among them. When he saw He Tiantian, he said, "Wanzi's mother, Yulan's mother saw that you hadn't come back so late, so she brought the two children to your house. The village is not safe right now, so safety is the most important thing."
