Chapter 789: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
After all, she had said before that if they didn't find Gui Luo within three days, they would go back.
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, then looked at her and said, "Zhenzhen, I think we should hold on until we get to the Ice Lake. If we still can't find anyone there, we can go back and find another hypnotist. I don't believe he's the only one who can cure Yiyi."
Xiao Muzhen hesitated for a moment, "But... the remaining bear leg is probably only enough for us to eat for three days. Once we reach the icy lake, we will have no food."
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this was the problem she was worried about.
"I remember you brought your fishing rod."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Yeah, but now everything is frozen, so even if you have a fishing rod, it's useless."
"Didn't you say Bear Legs could make it all the way to the frozen lake? There must be fish in the frozen lake. We can just break a hole and fish there."
Xiao Muzhen still felt that this was too risky, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go back. I don't want anything to happen to you."
If she were alone, she might do so, but she didn't want Huo Yunting to be in danger with her.
She packed her things and prepared to leave, but Huo Yunting stopped her.
"Zhenzhen, we've come this far. If we don't make it to the Ice Lake, it would be like giving up halfway. Besides, I also want to make sure Gui Luo is really not at the Ice Lake, so I can give up on him and focus on finding another hypnotist."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown, "But food is a big problem for us."
"I'll take care of the food. Even though it's winter, there will still be some small animals around. If we catch a few, we can last another day or two."
Xiao Muzhen still didn't want to do this, she felt it was too risky.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared not far away from them.
Seeing Huo Yunting, the leader hurried forward.
"Master, we finally found you! The master asked us to protect you."
Huo Yunting looked at him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Did you bring any food?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, "I brought..."
"Give me."
After the other party took out the food they had brought, Huo Yunting only took enough for himself and Xiao Muzhen to eat for three days, and said indifferently: "You guys can go back."
Seeing Huo Yunting about to leave, the leader was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Young Master, we have to protect your safe return to the capital. Besides, you are here to look for someone, and with more than a dozen of us together, the search area will be much larger."
He lowered his eyes, there was one thing he didn't say.
This time they came here to find an opportunity to kill Xiao Muzhen.
Huo Yunting fell silent. It was indeed difficult for him and Xiao Muzhen to find Gui Luo alone. If there were a dozen more helpers, it would indeed be much easier, and the possibility of finding Gui Luo would be greater.
However, they didn't bring much food.
"Your food will last for two days at most. What will you do if the food runs out?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Every day someone brings us food by helicopter, and if we carry too much, our progress will be slowed down."
Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, "Will it be delivered today?"
"It hasn't come yet today, but it should be soon."
"Okay, then give me most of the food. You don't have to follow us. Just go back later. I don't need your protection."
"Master, I'm afraid this won't work... Please don't make things difficult for us..."
Huo Yunting frowned, impatience flashing in his eyes.
"I'm not making things difficult for you, you're making things difficult for me. If you weren't sent by Su Baitian, I might have considered keeping you. But Su Baitian stopped me from looking for Zhenzhen before, and now he's sent someone here again. It's hard for me not to suspect that you have bad intentions."
