By the time he arrived at the Black Mountain Brigade below, it might be dawn, and it would take until the next afternoon to return.
He didn't have that much time, he had to get back before noon the next day.
Xia Xia discussed with him that he could pretend to sleep in, but if he hadn't gotten up by eight or nine o'clock, his third aunt would definitely be suspicious. Xia Xia said she would help him find an excuse to get away with it.
This is not the most important thing. If those people outside didn't see him, something would definitely happen, so he had to be quick.
He did not take the main road, but chose the mountain road. He ran with the strength of a cannon, and the speed left an afterimage in space.
Ren Jingxiao seemed to be able to naturally identify the direction as long as he was in the mountains. The mountains were connected, but not all routes had mountain roads.
In the absence of a mountain road, Ren Jingxiao's speed slowed down a lot. The road was full of stones, unlike the mountains where there were trees. He could not jump from one tree to another quickly.
However, as long as he was in the mountains, he would run as fast as possible. When the road was not mountainous, his running speed was no slower than that of the car. Ren Jingxiao arrived at the county town just after midnight.
Ren Jingxiao was very familiar with the route from the county town to Dahei Mountain. It only took him one hour to reach Dahei Mountain.
It was still quiet in the Dahei Mountain. Ren Jingxiao keenly felt that it was very quiet here, as if nothing had happened. From the moment he came in, the tigers surrounded him.
Ren Jingxiao didn't have time to pacify the tigers and rushed straight into the cave over there. Liuzi and his companions were startled by Ren Jingxiao's sudden appearance.
"Brother Ren, why are you here?" Liuzi wondered why Brother Ren was so elusive. In the past, he would at least appear during the day or before they went to bed, but this time he appeared in the middle of the night.
"Enough of the nonsense. I'm asking you if there's anything unusual happening in the mountains lately? Or has anyone spotted you?"
Ren Jingxiao saw that they were all fine. They were a little confused when they saw him coming, but they didn't look nervous at all, and it didn't seem like anything had happened.
"No, Brother Ren, has anyone discovered us? That's impossible. We're deep in the mountains. Even if we can't find them once they arrive, the wild animals will definitely find us. We've been staying quiet recently, preparing for the New Year, and haven't noticed anything wrong."
Liuzi was stunned at first, but then he reacted and rejected it. He was very sure that no one had ever been here, as they had been in the mountains for so many years.
Except for Brother Ren who came and went without a trace, no matter how powerful the others were, it was impossible for them not to feel anything at all.
Ren Jingxiao thought about the tiger group that seemed very calm just now. He could feel that the mountain was very peaceful and there was indeed no disturbance.
This is not the problem here. When Ren Jingxiao thought of this, he planned to go back. All other things were ruled out. Why did those people come here?
Things were more troublesome than he had imagined, and he had no idea what to do.
"You guys stay here quietly. If anything happens, go to the county town and inform me immediately." Ren Jingxiao told Liuzi the address and hurried back.
The six of them were left staring at each other in amazement. What on earth was Brother Ren doing here? What happened? Did someone discover their presence?
Several people started to panic and couldn't sleep. The brothers gathered around and observed carefully.
When Ren Jingxiao returned, he was even more anxious than when he came. Lack of time was a problem, but more importantly, this trip was a waste of effort.
He still didn't know the purpose of those people, and he became even more anxious when he thought of Xia Xia in the provincial capital.
When it was dawn, the two children who usually got up early got up late today, but Minister Shen and his wife didn't take it seriously.
He must have been worried about something and couldn't sleep at night, so he definitely couldn't get up this morning.
"Let them sleep! There's nothing to do when they get up anyway." Minister Shen went to the Ministry of Transport after breakfast.
He knew that his younger brother must be waiting to call him, and he didn't know if there was any news about the people he sent out.
Minister Shen was preoccupied and didn't notice anything unusual. Third Aunt also didn't take it seriously because her children had developed a habit of sleeping in.
Ningxia had actually woken up a long time ago, and after what happened in the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep again.
She didn't know when Ren Jingxiao would come back, nor did she know how he would avoid those people and come back.
Ningxia had agreed with him to wait until nine o'clock to go out, as she knew he would definitely not be back before nine o'clock.
She was just thinking about how to keep it secret. She could understand that Ren Jingxiao didn't want the matter of the medicinal materials to be exposed. This was just like her space.
This was their last trump card. Even if he trusted her, he didn't want to tell anyone easily. Third uncle and aunt were very good, but everyone had to have their own bottom line.
What Ningxia was worried about did not happen. Not long after dinner, her third aunt took her sweater and went to chat with someone. Ningxia hurried out to wash and go out.
If they hadn't shown up, those people would have been anxious. Ningxia went out for a walk to tell those people that they were still there.
Then she waited obediently at the door. When Aunt Shen San came back and saw Ningxia was awake, she smiled and asked, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Where's Jingxiao? What do you want to eat?"
She really thought they got up a little late and had no doubts.
"Ren Jingxiao went out to buy something for me, and I suddenly wanted to eat buns." Ningxia had already thought of an excuse.
"They're all sold out at this time. What kind of filling do you want? How about Auntie make it for you?"
Aunt Shen San smiled. This is what happens to pregnant women. They suddenly have an appetite, but maybe once you buy something, she won’t want to eat it anymore. She’s been through it, so she understands.
"No, I don't really want to eat it now. I just wanted to eat it when I woke up. If I can't buy it, Ren Jingxiao will be back soon."
When Ningxia said this, Third Aunt nodded. She knew this would happen.
"Then let's go inside first. I made some pancakes this morning. Try them and see if they're delicious. I learned this from your fourth aunt! She's the best at making pasta in our family."
Aunt Shen San took Ningxia's hand and walked into the house. Ningxia thought that since she had been out for a walk, those people should have seen her, right?
Ningxia was also worried about Ren Jingxiao's current situation, but she didn't show it on her face.
Ren Jingxiao was still on the road. When it was daybreak, the mountain roads were fine, but there were more people on the main road. If he ran too fast, he would easily bump into people, so he was rushing around all the way.
As he ran, he was thinking about how to get into the family compound when he arrived. Those people must be guarding the door.
They didn't see him come out, and if he had gone in from outside, he would have certainly aroused their suspicion.
It was daytime and the cannon could not be taken out at all. I don’t know whether Xia Xia was put into the pocket after he left. Did those people find anything?
Ren Jingxiao was thinking about something, so he kept walking at the same pace and stopped only when he reached the entrance to the provincial capital.
