Chapter 933: Amazing (2)
As servants, their most important priority was, of course, to protect Shen Miao's safety. They feared the fate-changing expert wouldn't be found, leaving Shen Miao in danger. The Mo Yu Army was skilled at dealing with enemies, but walking through this unfamiliar, dark forest late at night wasn't their forte. Fennel and the others didn't really care much for Luo Tan's talk about the expert. In their view, Luo Tan was acting on a whim, naive to an extreme. But Shen Miao's naiveté, like Luo Tan's, was causing a stir.
Only Mo Qing followed Shen Miao's orders without question. Hui Xiang and the others didn't understand Shen Miao, but Mo Qing had been with her from the very beginning. Back in Ming Qi, Shen Miao's situation was even more precarious, yet she had forged a path through such difficult circumstances. Every decision Shen Miao made played a significant role in the future, and Mo Qing never doubted this.
Shen Miao looked at the map and asked Luo Tan, “Ben Yue said that the brother and sister went south after entering Fengtou Manor, is that right?”
Luo Tan said, "Yes. But she also said that there was a small path to the south on the map, and the path happened to be heading south, but there is no path here."
"Let's go." Shen Miao said.
Everyone was stunned, and Congyang asked, "Madam, where are we going?"
Shen Miao gestured for Luo Tan to take out the compass and said, "Go south."
"But there's no path here." Fennel was extremely surprised. "If it's a wrong path, wouldn't it be wrong from the beginning?"
Shen Miao glanced at Hui Xiang and said, "Since we're already here and can't tell which one is right and which one is wrong, let's try them all. There are only these directions here. Since the brother and sister said they were heading south, the direction is the same. No matter where the path is, at most we can look for it in the four directions of east, south, west and north. When there is no other way, trying is also a solution." She took the lead and walked forward with the compass.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Luo Tan said, "Little cousin, wait for me too!"
Bajiao smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and catch up."
Several people followed.
The sun set quickly. The forest was already dark due to the dense branches and leaves, and after the sun set, it was almost pitch black. Fortunately, Congyang had enough tinder with him, and he lit them before moving forward.
It was just the same branches all the way here. By the end, it was impossible to tell the difference between the front and the back. It was almost all the same branches. And it was so cold, so cold it hardly felt like June. Mo Qing and Cong Yang were still okay, but the women were a bit chilled.
Shen Miao and the others were all wearing outer garments, and at this moment they couldn't help but cover themselves tighter. Faintly, the howling of wild beasts could be heard in the forest. Mo Qing and Cong Yang stopped at the same time, their hands slowly resting on the swords at their waists.
Fennel lowered her voice and whispered, "It's the sound of a wolf. There are wolves here."
"Wolves are afraid of fire." Shen Miao said, "Everyone hold two tinder sticks and light them. Wolves are very cunning beasts. If there were a pack of wolves in the forest, they would think we were a group and wouldn't dare to approach us if they saw so many fires."
Fennel was stunned, a look of surprise on Bajiao's round face: "Madam, you even know how to deal with wolves." It's not surprising that people from the Moyu Army or those in the martial arts world know these methods, but Shen Miao is the daughter of an official, so knowing these things is too unusual. Even if the Shen family is a military general, this method seems too sophisticated, like a veteran from a hunting family.
