Yu Yuehui led Xie Yan directly inside. Yu Yuehui had scouted this area before; it was a safe zone, and there were relatively few people here, but plenty of mushrooms.
As for those places, the villagers have already explored them all, and there's probably nothing left to eat!
As soon as Xie Yan entered the mountain, he started looking around. Goodness, he really wasn't destined to be the protagonist! He didn't see a single herb until Yu Yuehui led him a long way in. Gradually, some herbs started to appear, and then more and more of them appeared. At first, Xie Yan was able to hold back and tell Yu Yuehui where he was.
As they gradually became engrossed in their activities, they unknowingly distanced themselves from Yu Yuehui. One of them was picking mushrooms, and the other was digging for medicinal herbs. They both thought the other was right next to them and didn't even realize that they had already walked far away!
Xie Yan walked around, stopping frequently, completely forgetting what Yu Yuehui had said. His eyes were only on the herbs; these ordinary medicinal materials were all money in Xie Yan's eyes!
As long as it's something good, something mentioned in the book, and something Xie Yan knows, he'll accept it all. Xie Yan cautiously began digging.
Yu Yue stepped on a basket of mushrooms, then turned around and saw that Xie Yan was gone. She didn't panic, but instead looked around and searched for the places Xie Yan had dug. However, the traces disappeared next to a big tree.
There wasn't a trace left. Yu Yue shouted a few times, but the mountains were quiet, and she could only hear her own echo! Gradually, she began to feel anxious. Where was Xie Yan?
There really are wolves on the mountain! Just thinking about it made her heart suddenly panic. Yu Yue dropped the mushrooms in her hand and shouted Xie Yan's name repeatedly, but she heard no response.
The more she searched, the more anxious she became, fearing that Xie Yan had really encountered wolves. Just thinking about this possibility made Yu Yue feel a pain in her heart that made it hard to breathe, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
Yu Yue wiped away her tears, placed her hands on her knees, and breathed heavily. She closed her eyes and told herself that searching around aimlessly like this wouldn't work; she had to calm down.
Yu Yuehui tried to control herself and stop overthinking and scaring herself. She kept telling herself to calm down and that Xie Yan would be alright.
He's a grown man, he'll definitely be fine.
Maybe they fell into that pit and got knocked out, but they're definitely not hurt! Yes, that must be it!
Her mind began to race. The entire mountain appeared in her mind, along with the places she hadn't searched and the traps that lay hidden.
Yu Yuehui began searching the nearest place. In that instant, her aura changed, becoming sharp and murderous.
His face was almost indifferent, without the slightest expression!
At the same time, Xie Yan saw a lot of Panax notoginseng that had been growing for a long time. He was surprised to find such a plant here and began digging it up with great concentration.
He had no idea that Yu Yuehui was frantically searching for him.
The strange terrain here is that the mountains here are not mountains in the traditional sense, but rather a large mountain with many small hills on it. Xie Yan's current location happens to be in a depression in one of these hills.
In addition, the trees here are very large, and when the wind blows, all you can hear is the rustling of the leaves. Yu Yuehui's anxious shouts do not get through at all.
When he returned to the mountaintop in the moonlight, Xie Yan heard him and quickly got up to respond.
Yu Yuehui has searched all the areas except this hilltop. If she still can't find it, she's prepared to search deep in the mountains!
Upon hearing Xie Yan's voice, Yu Yuehui froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard! Was she hallucinating because she was too anxious!
When Xie Yan appeared on the hilltop and called her, Yu Yuehui realized that it was really Xie Yan, the living Xie Yan!
She ran over excitedly and saw Xie Yan, who was covered in dust but had a smile on his face. Without saying a word, she hugged him tightly and asked coldly, "Where have you been?! I've been calling you for so long, why didn't you answer me?!"
Xie Yan stood there dumbfounded, genuinely a little frightened. He had never seen Yu Yuehui like this before, expressionless and with an almost indifferent voice.
He was a little bewildered. What was going on? He had only dug up some herbs, so why was Yu Yuehui reacting so strongly?
"Um, I...I was just digging for some herbs here, I didn't hear your voice until just now, really!"
Yu Yue felt the warmth of the person in her arms, and the emotions she had lost slowly returned. She hugged Xie Yan tightly, her eyes filled with the joy of regaining what she had lost!
Gradually, tears began to fall, one by one, and Xie Yan's chest was soon soaked!
This crying completely stunned Xie Yan. Looking at his dirty hands, he could only say over and over again, "It's okay, it's okay!"
The only response he received was Yu Yuehui's tears.
Xie Yan was a little worried. What was wrong? Had someone bullied her? That's why she was crying like this. It shouldn't be like this! With his wife's abilities, it was good enough that she didn't bully others. Who could possibly bully her?
Xie Yan never expected that he would be the one looking for him. He awkwardly patted Yu Yuehui's back with his arm and explained again, "I didn't hear you call me, really! I just saw some Sanqi here and couldn't help but dig it up. I'm sorry for not telling you beforehand. It was my fault. Please don't cry."
Seeing him cry like that, Xie Yan felt a pang of sadness, as if he had committed some heinous crime! Wasn't this an unjust death for him?
He hates scumbags the most, so don't accidentally become one yourself!
