Xie Lin picked up the backpack, took out a portion of dry food and a water bottle for Shen Yijin, and replaced the water bottle with the supernatural water that Chou Chou had prepared in his space.
"Eat something to replenish your energy, and we'll head into town as soon as it gets dark."
It gets dark quickly here at the border, around 5 pm. It's only a little past 3 pm now, so he can rest for a while.
Shen Yijin didn't stand on ceremony with him. He still had to save his brothers and comrades, and he couldn't let himself be a burden and drag everyone down.
The others also sat on the ground and ate their dry rations.
Qian Yuanyuan is Xie Lin's good friend's cousin, and Xie Lin didn't hesitate to give her a pancake.
Qian Yuanyuan waved her hand and declined, "Thank you, but no need. I ate something before I went up the mountain."
I work hard all day, but the work points I earn are only enough to eat half full. I can only get enough to eat if my family helps me. I know that food is precious and I can't take it for free.
Xie Lin didn't insist. With the addition of those brothers from Shen Tuan, the dry rations would be very useful.
"Comrade Qian, we need to go down the mountain into the city. You're familiar with this area, do you know any shortcuts that don't go through the village?"
Qian Yuanyuan identified her location and then pointed in a direction.
"Yes, just keep going in this direction after you get out of the deep mountains, but the path is very difficult to walk on, full of thorns, and you have to cross a large area of mountains. It will be easier to get out through the village."
Xie Lin knew what was going on; Guagua had already pointed out the secret, but he just wanted to ask about it openly.
The difficulty is relative to ordinary people; for those who frequently travel through the deep mountains, it's no different from ordinary village roads.
He nodded without saying anything more. There was also a small water bottle. He first gave Shishi a couple of sips of water, then gave some to Chou Chou and Xiao Shi.
"Let's drink some water and eat some dry rations first. We can play again when we get home. We're going into the city to rescue people and fight the big bad guy."
He lowered his voice before continuing, "Ugly, tell Meow Tiger to have them wait here. Once they've gone a bit further, I'll put them into my spatial storage."
You can't exactly perform magic tricks in front of everyone.
Seeing them whispering, Qian Yuanyuan wisely stepped back a little. She planned to take them down the mountain later and then go back to take revenge.
Shishi is right. Kindness will only hurt the family who love you, and no one will like you if you are weak. Her cousin is so capable, she should be brave and not disgrace the Qian family.
If her cousin dared to push her down the slope and cause an accident this time, she'll dare to stab her in the back next time. She has to go back to the city; she can't be cowardly, or she'll be buried in this land forever.
She made up her mind to send that wicked cousin to the farm.
Just as Chou Chou was about to agree, Miao let out several meows and growls, seemingly conveying a lot of information. And for some reason, I could see a hint of pride on its face. Why was it so proud?
Neither Chou Chou nor Xie Lin could understand it, so they had to find a translator.
"Little Master, what is it saying?"
"It said it knew an easy way to walk, a path they had trodden out, and that they often went into the city and knew how to get there."
"They also said that once you enter the city, it's their territory, and you can just ask them where you want to go. They know how many people live in each household."
So that's why it has such a proud look on its face.
Xie Lin asked suspiciously, "Aren't city people afraid of tigers?"
The cat rolled its brown-yellow eyes wide and then glanced at a whole string of other animals.
The little master laughed out loud, "Brother, it says you're an idiot. When you go into town at night, everyone's asleep, so who will see them?"
Xie Lin looked embarrassed. He had only meant to change the subject, but he hadn't expected to get such an unexpected reward.
"Tell me, how did the city become your territory?"
Meow meow meow.
Little Master: "It said they are cross-city tigers, searching from city to city. They couldn't find Ugly in this city, and are preparing to leave tomorrow."
"Oh, it also said that there's a path from this city to another city, and the people in that city are speaking gibberish in a language they can't understand, so they didn't look for Ugly in that city."
"It says that Chou Chou speaks human language, not bird language, and there is definitely no Chou Chou in places with bird people."
People who speak bird language are called bird people; that's a very accurate summary.
"Are there side streets in the city? Are they underground passages?"
It came without any effort?
Xie Lin was thrilled, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement; his intuition told him it was true.
Meow tilts its head, meow? (How did you know?)
The family of three went to the city twice before they realized, how did this person know as soon as they arrived?
Are humans really that smart?
I was so scared. Luckily, I listened to Chou Chou and didn't appear in front of humans.
"Meow, have you guys been to the city these past few days?"
Meow. (I entered the city two days ago.)
"Have you seen anyone who is tied up, or someone who is hungry, dizzy, and has pale lips?"
A tiger that has ever gone hungry knows best the pain of hunger. It used to be a fat and strong tiger, but after it switched to eating wild vegetables, it became thin and weak. The days of dizziness and weakness were unbearable.
In order to avoid being rejected by him, they have been refraining from eating raw meat.
Meow meow...
"Yes, there are many on the path. They are all males. They have no home and beg on the road. No one walks on the path except for tigers, and tigers don't have money to give them."
"The birdmen's city has fruit and clean, fresh vegetables, as well as cooked meat. We saw them on the road when we went to steal some last time."
"Seeing how pitiful they were, I brought them fruit on my way back."
Well, the main problem is that there's not enough cooked meat; it's not enough for the three of them.
“They can speak human language, but their legs are broken and they can’t walk. We wanted to carry them out, but then birdmen came with hunting gear, and we got scared and ran away.”
