"Master, if Li Hongying isn't found, and we haven't found it either, where could the necklace have gone? Did Zhuang Feifei really lie?"
Luo Jingyan shook her head: "Zhuang Feifei has taken the initiative this time. Whoever wants that necklace has to listen to her, and there's nothing they can do even if they're being played. Fortunately, we don't really need that space, so we don't have to be too controlled by her."
She took a baked fish out of the oven, put it on a plate, and gave it to Fat Tiger.
"You must be exhausted after searching all night. Eat the fish and get some rest. Don't worry, there will be more when Black Tiger comes."
Fat Tiger nodded its head before starting to eat the fish. Luo Jingyan stroked its fluffy, chubby back and left the space.
Luo Changtian also got up and carried the still-sleepy Black Tiger out.
Luo Jingyan took the black tiger and put it on her kang (heated brick bed), then said to Luo Changtian, "Go wash up quickly."
After washing up, Luo Changtian went into the kitchen to prepare the meal with her.
Liu Family
After yesterday's ordeal, Li Hongying persevered entirely through sheer willpower, while Liu Aiguo, a strong and robust young man, was able to continue climbing the mountain, though he felt a bit tired.
As for Liu's mother, she couldn't even get out of bed in the morning.
Yesterday's work was too strenuous, and she also fell several times. She was in excruciating pain all over her body from midnight onwards, and couldn't get up in the morning no matter what.
Liu Aiguo went to her room to call her, but she waved her hand and refused.
"Aiguo, I really can't go. You go with Hongying. Let's see how your search goes today. If you find it, great. If not, I'll go with you tomorrow after I've rested."
Liu Aiguo loved his mother dearly, so naturally he wouldn't disobey her.
"Mother, you should rest well at home. Don't worry about looking for the things. Just wait for us to bring back good news."
"Alright, alright." Liu's mother smiled happily. "Safety first, be careful when you get there."
"I understand, Mother."
Li Hongying prepared breakfast, first serving a bowl to Liu's mother so she could eat first. After she and Liu Aiguo finished eating, they went up the mountain together.
Because of the pain all over her body, Liu's mother was unable to move around easily, so she simply asked Liu Aiguo and Li Hongying to lock the door after they left to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing her rest.
After finishing her meal, Luo Jingyan was heading to the village's winery. She made a point of passing by Liu Aiguo's house and found the gate tightly shut and locked from the outside, indicating that no one in the family was home.
Did they all go up the mountain to look for bloodstone necklaces?
Li Hongying is weak on her own, and she may well seek help from Liu's mother and son.
Black Tiger ate a grilled fish in the space and regained his energy. He volunteered to Luo Jingyan: "Master, I'll go and find out if Li Hongying has gone up the mountain."
"Alright, come back once you find out where they are. Stay in the space and get some rest."
"Yes, Master."
Black Tiger ran out of the space and ran along the mountain road, where he found Li Hongying and Liu Aiguo halfway up the hillside.
It deliberately hid in the grass and quietly followed them. Then it heard Li Hongying say, "Aiguo, let's search in a different valley today. We didn't find it all yesterday. I think the thing shouldn't be in that valley."
Liu Aiguo thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
