The next day, Ahri got up.

She tidied up the room briefly and swept up the fallen leaves in the yard.

After eating some rice porridge and a pancake, she took a bundle of rope and went outside.

She wanted to go to the mountains to scout out the area first, hoping to move out as soon as possible.

Building a treehouse would be a bit more troublesome.

Ahri still prefers to find a cave to shelter from the wind and rain first.

Whether we build a treehouse or stay in the mountains, we'll have a place to stay.

To get to the mountains, you have to leave the city gate first, and then walk for an hour before you reach a certain forest.

Ali slung the straw rope over his shoulder, tied a water tube containing bamboo to his waist, and also tucked a wood-chopping knife into his belt.

Along the way, many people brushed past Ah Li, but very few people took the initiative to greet her.

Previously, she would have tried to build good relationships with people nearby so that they could act as intermediaries for Lu Lanxi.

But 'she' didn't know that they were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and very few of them genuinely hoped that she could get back together with Lu Lanxi.

Lu Lanxi is well-liked, beautiful, skilled in martial arts, and has beautiful handwriting. She is impeccable in everything she does.

Such a man is a rare find in Humen Pass.

Besides Chen Lele, many other people were thinking of arranging a marriage for Lu Lanxi.

Ah Li lowered her head and went out of the city gate.

Just then, Lu Lanxi was guarding the city gate.

Lu Lanxi noticed that Fu Li wasn't looking at him, as if she hadn't even noticed that he was right in front of her.

He looked at the straw rope on her shoulder, then at the bamboo tube at her waist, and the wood-chopping knife behind her back.

She wanted to go to the mountains.

Lu Lanxi took two steps forward, but in the end, she didn't stop her.

What is she going to do in the mountains?

Just as Lu Lanxi was thinking this, someone bumped his shoulder. "Lanxi, wasn't that Fu Li just now?"

"That man is good at pretending. He must know that Lanxi is guarding the city gate today, so he is just putting on an act."

"Lanxi, don't let her fool you."

"Defend the city well."

Lu Lanxi withdrew her gaze and continued guarding the city gate.

Seeing that Lu Lanxi wasn't displeased, the people around them secretly bet on how long Fu Li would be gone, and whether she would come back crying and pretend to be aggrieved to Lu Lanxi.

At noon, the other soldiers came to find Lu Lanxi and the others to relieve them of their shift.

Lu Lanxi glanced out of the city gate again; she still hadn't returned.

The others still remembered the bet, and they told the people who came to relieve them, "When you see Fu Li later, keep an eye out and see if she's crying."

Those people added fuel to the fire, saying that Fu Li was about to cause trouble again, and they were going to have a good show to watch.

They didn't even try to hide it from Lu Lanxi when they said these things.

Lu Lanxi didn't stay any longer. He switched shifts with someone, went to eat, and then rested.

At night, they also had to patrol and guard the city.

?

On the other side.

Ah Li walked for more than an hour, and then she got hungry again.

Fortunately, she still had a pancake in her arms.

She didn't dare eat much; after a couple of bites, she put the food back in her pocket.

When she reached the edge of the forest, she first picked up twigs from the outer edge, the thin, small kind.

Many people come to the mountains to hunt wild game, dig for wild vegetables, and collect firewood.

There were men, women, children, and elderly people.

Ahri slowly moved away from them and did not walk with them.

The outer perimeter of the forest is fine and there is no danger.

If we want to go inside, we need more people so that we can look out for each other.

Ali had no such concerns. Seeing that she had collected enough branches, she slowly walked into the mountains.
