Uncle Huang, what's wrong? What happened? Duan Yuming was very worried because he had never seen Uncle Huang look like this before.
Yuming, this is bad! Xingran might have run up the mountain alone. Didn't she tell us last night that she had something to do and wouldn't be coming today?
I ran into Xingran's parents on the way here. They asked me if Xingran was here or had gone home. I then learned that she wasn't home, and her parents didn't know where she had gone today.
That day, that girl wasn't afraid when she encountered enemy agents; she even dared to hide and peek. Today, she's probably gone up the mountain alone to find the enemy agents' hiding place.
If that's really the case, what should we do? Uncle Huang, we've been so busy with our plans these past few days that we haven't paid attention to whether that girl overheard what we were saying. We can't panic and go looking for her now.
Otherwise, it might attract the attention of enemy agents and endanger Xingran. That girl isn't reckless; if she really goes up the mountain, she'll definitely be prepared.
Let's wait a little longer. If she still doesn't come back, I'll go to the mountain to look for her alone. Although Duan Yuming's face remained calm as he said this, his trembling hands and the fine sweat on his forehead betrayed him; he was anything but calm inside.
Su Xingran, relying on her memory of the way up, carefully followed the path down the mountain. She made a discreet mark every five to eight meters. In this way, she reached the outer edge of the mountain.
After descending the mountain, Su Xingran carried the basket containing the herbs on her back and headed straight for Doctor Huang's house.
Uncle Huang, Xingran's parents, please wait at home. I'll go look for her on the mountain. An hour has passed since Duan Yuming said to wait a little longer. Su Xingran's parents couldn't wait any longer at home, so they came to Doctor Huang's place.
Duan Yuming, who was about to leave, bumped into Su Xingran, who was about to enter. Fortunately, Duan Yuming reacted quickly and avoided a collision.
"Xingran, where have you been? Your parents and your master are all frantic with worry." Duan Yuming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Xingran return.
Uncle Duan, let's go inside and talk. I have something urgent to discuss with you. I'll explain to my parents.
Su Xingran walked into the house, and everyone inside became excited. "Ranran, where have you been? Your father and I were so worried about you, we thought something had happened to you." Su's mother's eyes were red; she was truly frightened.
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't tell you where I was going. I'll let you know where I'm going next time. I have something to talk to my master and the others about. You go home first, and I'll tell you what happened when I get home later, okay?
Seeing their daughter return safely, Mr. and Mrs. Su were relieved. They had taken the day off! Since everything was alright, they figured they might as well go back to work. Okay, you chat with Uncle Huang and the others, your parents will go home and go to work.
After Su's parents left, Su Xingran didn't give Doctor Huang and Duan Yuming a chance to speak. "Master, Uncle Duan, I've made a discovery on the mountain."
Today I went up the mountain and walked deep into the mountains. Deep in the mountains, I met two people from Japan. After they left, I walked down the same way they came.
When I came to a place where the wild grass was lush, I found that something was wrong with the grass. It looked like the grass had been deliberately made to look that way.
I was about to part the bushes to take a look when the bushes suddenly started to sway. I found a place to hide, and then someone pushed the bushes aside.
That patch of grass turned out to be a grass gate. A man in military uniform walked out of it, and another man dressed like a doctor from a hospital. I recognized the man in military uniform; I'd seen him before.
