Black Tiger analyzed Li Hongying's words. She mentioned searching in another valley, which meant they hadn't found it yet, and they would continue searching in the valley today.
They had already searched all those valleys, so it would be futile for Li Hongying to search again.
After hearing the news, it returned the way it came, and then took the opportunity to enter the wine room and report the news to Luo Jingyan.
"Neither Li Hongying nor we have found it yet. Either the necklace isn't in the valley, or someone else picked it up. Someone else..." she said thoughtfully.
Maybe it's not human?
Black Tiger said, "Fat Tiger and I will go up the mountain again tonight. We'll search around outside the canyon."
"good."
Liu Aiguo and Li Hongying arrived at the sixth canyon. Although this canyon was not as wide or as deep as the seventh canyon, it was still large and treacherous enough for two ordinary humans.
Li Hongying and Liu Aiguo went down into the valley and split into two groups to search for the treasure.
Without Liu's mother present today, they were quiet and able to focus intently on their search.
Although they didn't encounter any magpies or crows today, their efforts all day resulted in the same outcome as yesterday.
As dusk fell, Li Hongying angrily slapped the tree trunk in front of her. Another day had passed, and she still hadn't found anything. When would she finally find that bloodstone necklace?
Her five fingers gripped the tree bark tightly, but the image that flashed through her mind was of herself choking Zhuang Feifei.
If she can't be found within half a month, it means Zhuang Feifei deliberately lied to her and played her tricks, and she will definitely not let Zhuang Feifei off easily.
As darkness fell, she called out to Liu Aiguo, "Aiguo, it's getting late, we should go home."
Liu Aiguo was a little discouraged after two days without any success. As a grown man, he didn't want to go home empty-handed every day.
"Hongying, I can still see. Let's look again."
Li Hongying looked around. The light in the woods after sunset was very dim, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.
She was afraid that wild animals would come out at night. "Patriotism, I'm afraid that wild boars or wolves will come out and hurt us."
Liu Aiguo also had such concerns, but he had only encountered a wild boar once on the mountain, and had not seen a single rabbit while searching for things in the valley these past two days, so he began to take a chance.
“Wild boars and wolves aren’t that common. If there were wild boars, they would definitely have been caught by hunters. As for wolves, I’ve heard that some people go into the mountains with hunting rifles to hunt wolves. I guess those wolves would either be killed or scared away. It’s not easy for us to come all this way, let’s look for a while longer.”
"Oh well."
The two searched for a while longer, and before they knew it, it was completely dark, with only a faint light remaining.
Li Hongying called Liu Aiguo home again, and only then did Liu Aiguo agree to return.
However, they hadn't gone far when Li Hongying heard the rustling of leaves on the ground, along with what sounded like wild boars grunting. Instinctively, she wanted to hide behind Liu Aiguo, but then she realized that Liu Aiguo might not be a match for the wild boars. Seeing a crooked tree nearby, she quickly climbed it, while simultaneously alerting Liu Aiguo.
"Aiguo, there seems to be wild boar around. Be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Aiguo had barely reacted when the wild boar came rushing over, pounced on him, pushed him to the ground, and bit his leg.
The wild boar came too fast, and Liu Aiguo barely had time to react. By the time he managed to retaliate, his thigh had already been bitten through by the boar's sharp tusks.
He often goes up the mountain, and according to the experience passed down from the older generation, he must bring a weapon for self-defense to avoid being attacked by wild animals.
If possible, bring hunting tools to protect yourself and catch prey. At the very least, bring an awl, a knife, or something similar.
To save time, Liu Aiguo only brought a small knife. He took the knife out of his pocket and plunged it into the wild boar's neck. The knife was specially sharpened and was very sharp, piercing the wild boar's flesh with a soft thud.
The wild boar, in pain, let out a piercing cry and, on instinct, leaped a considerable distance away, managing to escape with its bleeding wound.
Liu Aiguo was injured in the leg and couldn't chase the wild boar. Even if he did catch it, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
He had a large wound on his leg from a wild boar bite, and it was bleeding profusely. His immediate priority was to find a safe place to treat the wound.
He saw Li Hongying in the tree and cursed her inwardly for being too selfish, only caring about herself.
"Li Hongying, come down quickly and help me treat my wound."
Li Hongying didn't dare to go down yet, fearing that the wild boar might retaliate. After a while, when she was sure that the wild boar wouldn't come back, she jumped down from the tree.
Liu Aiguo was furious: "Li Hongying, you selfish woman, didn't you see I was injured and bleeding a lot? You're dead, and you never came to help me."
Li Hongying glanced at him coldly. The man was seriously injured, and she could easily go down the mountain on her own now, leaving him to fend for himself here.
Anyway, this guy can't help her much in the short term. By the time his injuries heal, she'll probably have already found the bloodstone necklace and become a rich woman with a lot of space and resources. With this guy dead, she can even save herself the trouble of getting a divorce.
But she couldn't just ignore it completely. If this guy survived and was found, he would definitely not let her off the hook. If the captain found out, she would probably be punished.
Forget it, let's just go through the motions.
"Aiguo, don't worry. I was so scared of the wild boar that I thought it would come back, so I stayed in the tree and didn't dare to come down. I'll check your injuries now."
