Chapter 438 Chapter 438 A Little Trick to Interrupt Yuyu's Thoughts
Alas, it's no use.
While the little fish cub was thinking seriously about how to protest, His Majesty Su Wu reached out, covered the little fish cub's face, and pressed the little cub back into his arms.
"Is it fun out there?"
Su Wu forcibly interrupted the little guy's thoughts.
This little guy's brain is not capable of thinking about complicated problems right now. Once his thinking is interrupted and his attention is diverted, he will forget what he was saying just now.
But this kid is the kind of kid who will do whatever you ask for.
Unless he really didn't understand.
So, the little fish that had finally pulled Su Wu's hand away had its attention drawn away before it could even protest.
Thinking about what I saw today——
The little fish has never seen a real human street.
In his memory, there were only the gloomy black market streets of the North Sea.
For young cubs of this age, even a small fish is novel and interesting.
The little guy just thought about it, then nodded his little head vigorously, his big eyes shining brightly.
He stumbled a little while thinking and telling Su Wu about the scenes he thought were beautiful and interesting.
Su Wu lowered his eyes, watching and listening.
They had returned to the palace, and Li Dezheng was walking quickly towards them.
Followed behind Su Wu.
Listening to what the little cub said along the way, he couldn't help but speak.
"Your Highness is already full of spirit, and now he is even more lively."
From being extremely slow to react, to making slight progress, the little guy can now think and speak at the same time, although he still speaks slowly and haltingly.
Su Wu laughed.
"After teaching him for so many days, he's definitely making progress. After all, Yuyu is my child."
The little fish lay in Su Wu's arms, looking up, with the distant sunset reflected in his eyes.
"After that, Daddy often takes you out to play."
Su Wu said.
Go around and broaden your horizons, get to know the local customs and practices of different places, grow, and become better at protecting yourself.
By the way, he also dealt with those evil spirits.
The little fish cub lay down and replied softly: "Okay."
Well, it’s obvious that Yu Yu has completely forgotten about the limited dinner.
Su Wu just laughed lightly.
The little fish cub in his arms didn't realize what his daddy was laughing at.
And at this moment——
In the rolling mountains outside Shangjing City, many people returned one after another.
In fact, Dasheng has many mountains, and the mountains are full of dangers and poisonous insects are rampant. Therefore, in such a large place, there is only one main road connecting Shangjing City and Bianjing City, and the others are just scattered forest trails.
Such terrain is not good for the human race, as it restricts travel and creates danger, but it is also very good for the human race. Before Suwu, when those great demons were wreaking havoc, many people panicked and hid in these mountains. Some were able to survive and their roots were not cut off.
Moreover, there are rare treasures, medicinal herbs, food, etc. inside. If the human race takes a risk when it can no longer hold on, it is possible for them to survive again.
But the dangers are also obvious.
Especially for these ordinary people.
Even with today's situation, they only dared to pick and look for fruits on the edge of the mountains.
Various entrances and exits of the mountains.
"Which one is this?"
"This is the 32nd one back, sir. It's getting dark. I'll go to other locations to check and see if there are any omissions."
"Well, go ahead. But with His Majesty and Lord Lou Yin here," the captain raised his hand and bowed towards the direction of the Shangjing Imperial City. "I'm sure those demons and monsters won't dare to act rashly."
The sky is full of rosy clouds in the distance.
The people who went up the mountain returned one after another with what they had obtained.
It is still too dangerous to be on the mountain at night.
Although time was tight, they basically got what they wanted.
Almost everyone has arrived.
But after running back and forth through several entrances and exits, there were still a few missing.
"It's getting dark soon, and there are only a few of them. Maybe there are other trails on the mountain, and they came out from there." They glanced towards the mountain. "Or should we go look for them? Isn't that too absurd?"
This is indeed something hard to imagine.
The reputation of the Demon Suppression Bureau among the people was originally the same as that of His Majesty, never very good.
It didn't take long for the wind direction in the entire Shangjing City to change.
Moreover, if it weren't for the order from His Majesty Su Wu, the Demon Suppression Division wouldn't have recorded the number of people so seriously - or if it weren't for the little cubs, Su Wu wouldn't have asked people to pay special attention to this place.
For the people of Shangjing City, if they want to go up the mountain, they can go up the mountain. If they don’t want to, that’s fine. To be honest, whether they come back or not is not within their control.
But today is different.
After all, His Majesty personally gave the order, and to be honest - the Demon Suppression Division has been getting along very well with some of the people in Shangjing City during this period because of their help in repairing houses and guarding Jin Tian.
"...How about this, you go into the city and ask if there's anyone else who hasn't returned yet."
The team leader glanced at the brocade bag on his waist.
"I'll go up and take a look, and come back before it gets completely dark."
On the mountain.
The old man who was looking for herbs for his father was walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Uncle Zheng, we've already searched everywhere, and it's getting dark. We should hurry down the mountain. These demons are frightened during the day and don't dare to come out, but it might be different at night. Didn't the adults at the Demon Suppression Bureau say we have to return before the sun sets completely—"
There were two people traveling together.
They didn't put too much stuff in their backpacks.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zheng, who was anxiously looking for them, subconsciously looked at them, reacted for a moment, and looked up at the sky.
"It was my negligence, it was my negligence."
He spoke repeatedly.
Full of smiles.
"I'm so sorry. You guys came with me for such a good opportunity, but I haven't found anything yet, and I haven't collected much."
"Please don't say that. Mr. Zheng was very kind to us when he was young. It's night time now, and it's really unsafe. Otherwise, we would feel very uncomfortable watching him suffer."
The man spoke quickly.
"This isn't your fault, old man. This disease is special and can only be cured with fresh herbs. These herbs are extremely rare and can't be found. You've tried your best, Mr. Zheng... Sigh..."
The usually cheerful middle-aged man seemed to pause for a moment.
After a moment, he smiled again.
"Hey, I did try my best. In fact, I know in my heart that after this trip, I have completely given up the thought."
He said quickly - "Let's go back quickly. Fortunately, we brought a lamp. There is still a little sun. By the time we can get down the mountain, it will probably be completely dark."
The group then hurried back.
But we're only halfway there.
There are trees blocking the way between the mountains and forests. Even though there are evil spirits and wild beasts that often destroy the lush branches and leaves of the trees, when the light dims, it is extremely dark to walk between the mountains and forests, and you need to use a flashlight.
There was a rustling sound behind me.
Before Mr. Zheng could react, something entangled his feet and pulled him to the side. Without even making a sound, he was dragged into the crack next to him.
As night fell, the little demons who were frightened by the breath of the Death Demon General gradually dissipated. As the breath gradually dissipated and the popularity of the mountains and forests suddenly increased, they finally couldn't control their greedy nature for flesh and blood and began to act.
The remaining two took a few more steps and turned back——
"Mr. Zheng?"
"Mr. Zheng?!"
They panicked for a moment and shouted a few times.
The shadows of the tinderboxes in their hands swayed, and then they were suddenly slapped.
The two were stunned with fear.
"Just the two of you?"
The team leader was panting as he went up the mountain.
The voice was stern.
"Why don't you go down? It's almost dark!"
The two of them then started talking about the relevant situation here.
"Something bad has happened."
The team leader quickly pulled out a big knife from his waist.
"It could have been a deterrent until night, but there are too many people going up the mountain today."
Those little demons didn't have such strong thinking abilities. When the shock wore off a little, they could no longer control their desire for flesh and blood, and took action before the sun completely set.
"You go down first. Keep going down. There's a team following you to meet you. Go down the mountain immediately. Do you know who suddenly disappeared? Go and register. If anything happens later, you'll be needed to comfort their families."
He said, following quickly.
But this forest is really a paradise for these little demons. They are not restricted by form or strength and can always hide perfectly in it, making it impossible to be discovered.
On the other side, Mr. Zheng was dragged and staggered, frantically lighting the fire in his hand. As he was being dragged, stones rolled down his head and hit the vine-like thing, and then he was suddenly released.
Mr. Zheng got up in a panic and staggered to run.
He had many scratches and bruises on his body, from being dragged down. It was completely dark, as if he was inside the mountain.
There was a terrible rustling sound behind me, and a small roar.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, looking up in panic—
Am I going to... die here?
Dad's problem has not been solved yet. If I leave behind orphans and widows at home, this will be...
He was thinking this in panic, trying to resist, but his body was shaking. The light of the tinder illuminated the front, and he was suddenly stunned.
A small patch of green herbs, which seemed to be fluorescent and covered with dew, was not far in front of him.
He anxiously searched the tattered backpack for the picture and description drawn by the doctor from Shangjing.
——It’s this herb!
At this point, he hurriedly picked a few plants, as if he had gathered all his strength, and stood up to run.
Something seemed to have grown out of the ground behind him, like the legendary lantern in the deep sea, emitting a scarlet light, and its tentacles were like sharp teeth, rushing over to tear him apart.
Old Man Zheng barely parried twice with his sickle, but it flew away from his hand. When the light of the tinderbox finally died out, he stretched out his hand, trying to reach out towards the last bit of light above his head.
Until there was a loud bang——
Old Mr. Zheng was stunned and was picked up and thrown backwards.
"Master Li Ye, this thing is really useful! This is indeed a demon, and it's well hidden - Hey, is that the one who got lost? Didn't we take any detours at all? This is really a blessing from the gods -"
"Get started, and hurry down the mountain."
"Yes, sir."
The darkness above my head seemed to be blown away.
You can see the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon.
Only when Mr. Zheng was brought up by the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau did he see clearly what was happening below. This was a landslide in the mountain, hidden and disguised by the evil spirit as a hunting trap.
The light above his head was reflected in the eyes of Mr. Zheng who was breathing rapidly.
The colorful clouds emerging from the sunset gradually turned into bright red - twisting and spinning like Tai Chi, and finally turned into two small fish at the edge of the sky.
He must have seen this pattern somewhere.
Old Mr. Zheng thought blankly.
Inside the palace, news came that the people had all returned.
Su Wu responded, looked not far away, and smiled.
Yu Yu, who had boasted that she wanted to practice calligraphy, was already lying on the table. Her soft, fair face was stained with ink, her big eyes were closed, and she was already half asleep.
