Otherwise, Benben wouldn't have looked so nervous.

This little creature wouldn't even give a second thought to ordinary wild animals, and it even dared to provoke wild goats that were several times its size.

Unless some kind of ferocious beast appears ahead.

Immediately afterward, Lin Momo disappeared from the spot.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so the cowardly girl decided to go into the space to hide first.

About half an hour later, Lin Momo came out again.

"Woof woof—"

As a result, Benben still wouldn't let her continue her journey.

"Silly, it hasn't left after all this time?" Lin Momo asked, puzzled.

There was still no indication of any danger ahead.

We can't just sit here and wait.

"Why don't we go over and take a look?"

Relying on her own space, Lin Momo carefully picked up Benben and walked forward for less than fifteen minutes. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Roar—, roar—"

"Awooo—"

Before any wild animals could be seen, two eerie roars echoed through the air, like two thunderclaps that seemed to strike out of nowhere.

Now she finally understood why Benben had blocked her way.

There seems to be more than one ferocious beast ahead; there are at least two.

The sound sounds like wolves howling. Could it be two packs of wolves fighting?

How long will this fight last?

As the early winter sun was about to set, time came to an end after a day of hurried travel, and people began to look for a place to rest for the night.

But after searching around, I couldn't find a suitable place.

For example, caves or shelters such as small wooden cabins used by hunters to rest.

Having no other choice, he finally chose a large tree that was as thick as a person's embrace and climbed it.

The tree has many branches, and the branches are quite thick, enough to make do for a night.

Judging from the brightness emanating from the jade gourd, Shi Guang deduced that the two were not far apart and would surely meet tomorrow.

It was almost exactly as he had predicted.

Lin Momo would only settle somewhere between the inner and outer edges of the mountains, and would not recklessly plunge into the heart of the mountains.

The two were indeed not far apart.

When Lin Momo first went into the mountains to find a suitable place to live, she wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly, taking many detours.

But time is different.

With a clear goal, long legs stride confidently, and taking a shortcut...

Having the advantage in everything, how could it not be fast?

The thought of their upcoming meeting filled Shi Guang with excitement.

If it weren't for the fact that it was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, he would have rushed to Lin Momo's side under the cover of darkness.

Back then...

The two parted ways like fleeting clouds, their separation as swift as rain.

From being separated by time and space, to now sharing the same starry sky.

They hadn't seen each other for a really long time.

Time longs for the girl he fell in love with at first sight, a longing so intense it's almost unbearable, wishing he could sprout wings and fly to her right now.

After the two successfully reunited, neither of them felt lonely in this unfamiliar era.

They had walked past each other before but didn't recognize each other; this time, the same blunder wouldn't happen again.

In truth, his appearance hasn't changed much from his previous life; he's just younger and his clothes are different.

I believe that Mo Mo's situation is similar to his.

The difference is that she is a little smaller than me.

She's still just a little girl.

Furthermore, due to the Lin family's second branch's impoverished circumstances, they would likely become extremely thin, which is why their gender would be indistinguishable when dressed in men's clothing.

From the pale, thin, and emaciated appearance of her half-sister Lin Sanya, it's not hard to picture Lin Momo's current appearance in one's mind.

......

While lying on the treetop, Shi Guang gazed at the bright starry sky above and thought about things related to Lin Momo.

After a day of hiking in the mountains, I soon felt sleepy and my eyelids grew heavier.

In the blink of an eye, I drifted off to sleep.

"Awooo—, Awooo—"

In the middle of the night, a wolf howl suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests.

The alert Shi Guang was immediately awakened and instinctively tried to get up, only to find that he could not move his upper body and legs.

Then he suddenly remembered that before going to bed last night, he was worried that he would fall off the tree while he was asleep, so he tied his waist and legs to the tree.

The wolf howls continued. Perhaps because the mountains were too quiet at night, the sound seemed exceptionally close, as if it were coming from an area several miles away.

It's unclear whether they were hunting at night or encountered villagers who had missed their appointed time and had to spend the night in the mountains.

"Mo Mo, are you safe now?"

Time couldn't help but feel a silent worry for the forest in the mountains.

After all these days, she should have found a place to stay in the mountains by now, right?

"Don't be afraid, Momo! We'll see each other again soon." Shiguang looked worried.

I wonder if she was frightened by that terrifying scream.

Girls are generally timid, and even if there is no danger, they will be afraid of the wolf's howl.

Shiguang truly wishes she could be by her side right now, offering her comfort.

*

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Lin Momo hid in the space again.

I came out twice along the way, but the battle on the other side was probably in a stalemate, and no one could be decided yet.

When it got dark, Lin Momo went out to check again, but it seemed like she couldn't hear anything anymore.

So, holding a powerful flashlight, she boldly walked a little further.

This time, Benben not only didn't stop him, but also eagerly ran ahead, leaving his owner far behind.

Lin whispered, "Wait for me, Benben!"
