The next day, just as dawn was breaking, we passed through dense forest and arrived at a canyon deep in the mountains.
The woman, who had been lying on the grass asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
My muddled mind gradually cleared up after a few seconds.
The moment she moved, her bones cracked and popped, making an unpleasant sound like a rotten machine starting up again.
After she moved to the base of a large, leafy tree, she leaned against the trunk, her chest heaving as she breathed heavily with some difficulty.
Her stomach growled at that moment. She clutched her hungry stomach, her face pale. She had been exhausted all day yesterday, and had only eaten a flatbread last night, which had long since been digested. Now she was starving.
Moreover, she sent out a distress signal before she lost consciousness yesterday. I just don't know if their people saw it, and if they did, when will they come to pick her up?
She could never return to Xinghua Village. The mission had also failed.
They failed to seduce Xiao Che and make him fall in love with them, nor did they manage to bring the Xiao family into their camp or turn them against them.
When she goes back this time, she will not only face ridicule, but also severe punishment!
"It's all that bitch's fault! I'm going to kill her!"
Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with malice and murderous intent. Her delicate and beautiful face was now contorted in pain.
At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her leg and knew it was time to change the dressing.
Exhausted and hungry, they had no choice but to set off again to find medicine and food.
At the foot of the mountain, Bai Yajing had already arrived.
She lost track of him last night, and today, her uncle and the brigade leader went to the city to look for Kang An.
She came here, intending to follow the clues and search for herself first.
She dared not let such a cunning and scheming enemy agent, who also harbored a deep-seated hatred for her, leave alive.
Now that the sunlight is out, the traces left last night are very clear.
The bloodstains that had dripped onto the leaves, grass, and ground were every one or two meters. She moved very quickly, following the bloodstains and the footprints on the grass and trees, and soon found the entrance to the deep mountains.
The bloodstains were most abundant here, and the blood-soaked bandages she had used to bandage that woman were also discarded to the side.
There was no more blood ahead, only the tracks of a human crawling, but those tracks quickly ended.
Bai Yajing picked it up, her eyes darting around, and an immature idea popped into her head.
She had been craving that wolf king for a long time.
This time, let's see if we can catch it and bring it over to help us find someone.
She knew exactly where the wolves roosted.
However, there are too many wolves in the pack, and she is alone now, so she still needs to make some preparations.
Since the wolf king was able to be lured out with prey last time, it means it's a glutton.
Why doesn't she just apply what she's learned?
Moreover, she had special methods! When she was a child, she went up the mountain with her grandmother to collect herbs. At that time, she was fearless and very mischievous, and she had never seen the wolves that the village children talked about as terrifying.
She wanted to see what wolves looked like with her own eyes. At that time, she lured a wolf cub over with the aroma of roasted meat. Unfortunately, the wolf didn't want to go home with her, but it ate her roasted meat.
So she simply beat it up before letting it go. Back in the village, she boasted to her friends that she had defeated the terrifying big bad wolf, earning their admiration for years.
······
When they reached the wolf pack's territory and found the wolf king leisurely sunbathing on a large rock, Bai Yajing stopped in her tracks.
Not far away, he threw the pheasant he had caught on the road onto the ground, processed it slightly with a dagger, marinated it with seasonings, and set it aside. Then he took out a hoe from his jade pendant and began collecting yellow soil.
Once they had collected enough, they mixed the soil with water to make mud, picked a large leaf and some wild mushrooms, stuffed some mushrooms, ginger, scallions and garlic into the pheasant's belly, wrapped the pheasant up, and coated it with mud.
Dig a hole, throw the mud-covered pheasant into it, and once that's done, start a fire.
She didn't eat much in the morning and was in a hurry to leave.
They simply took out some flatbread, stuck it on a twig, pierced one end into the ground, and heated it by the fire.
The pancakes heated up and smelled delicious. Bai Yajing took them down and ate them with the meat sauce she had brought.
