Chapter 2: The Secret Base Under the Stream (Revised)
"Xiaoba is also considered one of our members. Should we take him to see our secret base?"
Tang Beiju suddenly spoke out of the blue.
"Take him away now? Won't you give Xiao Ba some time to recover?"
Tang Qiuyue was a little hesitant.
"We forget about it after a while, which makes us seem insincere!"
After saying that, Tang Beiju took Xu Ren'er from Tang Qiuyue and took Xu Ren'er away.
Away from everyone's sight, when she came to her senses, she began to struggle.
However, as a dog, all she said was dog talk, and no one could understand her at all.
She struggled all the way, but she could not resist the human's strength. The power disparity between the two was too great.
Passing through the lush woods, the slightly dim light suddenly became bright. Walking a few steps forward, what came into view was a crystal clear stream and the spotless blue sky.
Xu Ren'er couldn't help but turn his head and squint his eyes to relieve the pain in his eyes caused by the change in light.
As for the boy, it was different. He had lived here since he was a child and was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He didn't need to subconsciously squint his eyes to protect them.
Before Xu Ren'er could figure out a solution to leave the boy's arms, he threw her directly into the stream.
Xu Rener: ???
What kind of secret base would throw people into a stream?!
Before she could react, Tang Beiju grabbed her and took her downstream.
Xu Ren'er felt like she was about to suffocate. She squinted her eyes and vaguely seemed to see two figures behind Tang Beiju, who should be Tang Qiuyue and Mo Youli.
Ali is Mo Youli, Ali is another name for Mo Youli.
Just when Xu Ren'er thought she was going to die before she could accomplish her mission and was about to be drowned, she suddenly began to breathe smoothly.
This surprising discovery made her stunned.
"Are you surprised?"
Tang Beiju carefully placed Xu Ren'er on the ground and spoke directly.
Xu Ren'er couldn't reply and could only bark twice to express her excitement.
She was completely surprised to find that there was a place under the water where she could speak freely without holding her breath.
Moreover, Xu Ren'er jumped twice tentatively, but did not float and could not feel any pressure from the water. If it were not for her dog hair floating, she would probably have thought she was actually on land.
"North Horse."
A shout suddenly caught the attention of two guys. Tang Beiju and Xu Ren'er turned around at the same time, only to see Mo Youli with a blank expression, only his eyes revealed dissatisfaction.
He didn't get angry. After calling Tang Beiju's name, he stopped talking. He just stared at Tang Beiju with his eyes, which made the other person feel creepy.
"Sorry, I got so excited."
With his hands raised and his brows slightly furrowed, Tang Beiju forced a smile with an expression of admitting defeat.
"I don't want this to happen a second time."
Mo Youli strode forward, held Xu Ren'er in his arms, and said lightly.
"Okay, I promise, there won't be a next time."
He had been with Mo Youli for many years and he understood Mo Youli to some extent. Although he looked playful and cheerful on the surface, facing the cold-faced Mo Youli in front of him, he was actually feeling very panicked inside!!!
Mo Youli gently stroked Xu Ren'er's dog fur with his palm.
"Since we're here, I'll reluctantly introduce you to the surrounding environment."
Tang Qiuyue poked her head out from behind Mo Youli and said with a giggle, "From now on, Xiao Ba officially becomes a member of the secret organization."
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the three people, Xu Rener suddenly realized that this might not be a simple ancient world.
It's not really dark here. The sunlight shines over the water and onto the bottom, creating soft and blurry beams of light everywhere.
Xu Ren'er can clearly see every scenery here.
There are all kinds of fish that have never been seen in modern times. They are strange in shape and colorful. The ground they walk on will automatically start to glow, and stars will appear, and then disappear quickly.
They told her that the secret base was discovered by a little girl named Tang Qiuyue. Because she didn't want to practice martial arts, she tried to hide in the stream and kept exploring down. Unexpectedly, she discovered this place.
After discovering it, she immediately told Tang Beiju and Mo Youli, and since then, this has become their secret base.
If you have something on your mind and don't want to be seen by others, come here.
…
It was summer, the sun was scorching, and the flowing stream was illuminated by the sun, reflecting a dazzling light.
The three men and the dog came out of the stream, and at this moment, they were like four drowned rats.
Xu Ren'er was soaking wet. The dog's fur was not fluffy and was sticky and tangled with her dog skin. There were even a few drops of water dripping down the fur onto the ground.
This made her feel uncomfortable. Mo Youli held her in his arms, and the warmth from his palms made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Without thinking too much, she struggled without hesitation. Mo Youli was not on guard against her, and she jumped out of his arms easily and landed perfectly.
The next second after landing, she began to shake her body frantically, trying to get rid of all the water droplets on her body.
These water droplets mixed with the dog hair and were entangled together. They were quite heavy. She felt like the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, being pressed under the Five Finger Mountain.
After successfully shaking herself dry, she suddenly felt light all over. She couldn't help but rub her face with one of her little legs and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Why is the atmosphere a bit weird?
The three of them looked at the dog's face with the word 'confusion' written all over it, and couldn't help but dilate their pupils. Their bright and clear eyes showed undisguised curiosity.
In their limited knowledge, they had never seen such a spiritual animal like Xu Ren'er, with such rich and varied expressions, as if a human soul lived inside it.
"Ali, you are so lucky. You actually picked up such a smart dog."
Tang Qiuyue sighed.
Mo Youli just smiled, but the joy and pride in his eyes revealed his thoughts.
He changed the subject and said, "It's almost time to practice. Master is waiting for us. Let's go back."
After saying that, he faced Xu Ren'er, bent down tentatively, and stretched out his arms.
Hearing this, Tang Qiuyue's eyes turned and she said:
"Then why don't we compete to see who can reach the master first."
Mo Youli tilted his head and was about to say that this competition was meaningless, but before he could open his mouth, Tang Beiju spoke first.
"Can."
The next second, the two figures disappeared before his eyes.
Mo Youli:... Never mind, as long as you are happy!

Although they lived in a village, the Mo family was a wealthy family in the capital after all, living a life of luxury. Even if they lived in a remote mountain village, they would definitely demand the best living conditions.
From the outside, the place where Mo Youli lived was no different from the surrounding houses. They were all gray thatched houses, with the main entrance being slightly twice as large as the ones next to it.
After pushing the door open, the first thing you see is a cheap but very clean round table. The round table is not very wide, and next to the table are a few small wooden stools that don't look very stable to sit on.
Apart from the table and chairs, there was no other furnishings in the living room. Only three other walls were left, with an opening in the middle and a huge rough black cloth serving as a door curtain.
As expected, beyond the door curtain there should be a rest room.
Is this Mo Youli’s place?
Xu Ren'er thought.
It's unlikely. Mo Youli and his mother have extraordinary temperaments, and the materials of their clothes are completely different from those of the other villagers. It's obvious that they come from wealthy families. How could they live in such a simple place?
Mo Youli walked straight to the cloth door on the left, raised his hand and passed through the black cloth. The walls were bare, with only a slightly dark-colored bed and a window that looked a little shabby.
Mo Youli seemed accustomed to the environment in front of him. He used his little internal energy to dry the water stains on his clothes, then calmly reached to his neck and took out a small light aqua star-shaped pendant. In the center of the pendant was carved a pattern of a milky/white dog's head roaring.
It’s strange, were there pendants of this style in ancient times?
Xu Ren'er saw the pendant and thought to himself.
It was obviously impossible for Mo Youli to hear the doubts in Xu Ren'er's heart. He held Xu Ren'er in one hand and walked towards the right along the wall, carefully touching the wall with the palm of his right hand. When he reached a certain point, he would habitually move his right palm away and press with his thumb instead, or simply move his arm away and stop touching the wall.
There were a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and Xu Ren'er could clearly feel that the arm holding her was extremely cold and even trembling.
It’s finally here!!
Mo Youli breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking smoothly along the wall to the bed, Mo Youli squatted down and gently knocked on the bed board three times. After a while, a certain position of the bed board quickly turned over, and a convex shape appeared in the middle, which was exactly the same as the shape of the pendant.
When the pendant was put on, the bed automatically moved to the side, and an underground passage suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xu Ren'er stared at the passage, his eyes wide open, looking at the scene in disbelief.
On the surface, her master looked like a nouveau riche with only a few years of education, but the scene before her told her that Mo Youli's true identity seemed quite complicated!
Mo Youli stood up, jumped, and jumped down from the passage with Xu Rener.
The wind rustled against his face, and Xu Ren'er couldn't help but squint his eyes.
In contrast, Mo Youli looked calm.
After a while, the black shadows dissipated and white light came, and they fell into the haystack. Because of the cushion, they must have no scars on their bodies.
"Ali, you're here."
Before Xu Ren'er could adjust his mental state, a gentle and mellow male voice sounded in his ears. Looking towards the source of the sound, a large bamboo forest came into view, with mottled bamboo shadows.
Under the bamboo, there was a pair of good-looking men and women, sitting on either side of a stone table, and the table was covered with black and white chess pieces.
Judging from the situation, the black pieces seem to have a tendency to win, and the one in charge of playing the black pieces is the man who is speaking.
At the other end of the chessboard, the woman lowered her head and frowned in thought. She didn't even raise her head when Mo Youli appeared, and there was no sign of her taking the initiative to greet him.
Xu Ren'er looked at the woman carefully. It was the woman who took care of her on the way here, Mo Youli's mother.
So is this man the husband of this beautiful woman?
Xu Ren'er silently shifted his gaze to the man, looking him up and down.
The man was looking at them with a smile, waiting for their response.
After just one glance, Xu Ren'er roughly guessed what type of person the man was - a smiling tiger.
A person who appears kind on the surface but is actually extremely cunning and cruel.
