Chapter 55 Zhou Ye Disappears
"Construction..."
Village chief Xie Youfu stepped forward to stop them.
"What are you doing? Your brother Yunzhou isn't feeling well, be careful!"
Xie Jianshe sneered, "So what if he's not in good health? Zhou Ye is just a young girl who went to collect herbs for him. Have you ever thought about what will happen to Zhou Ye?"
The deep mountains are inhabited by jackals, tigers, leopards, and wild boars!
Will Zhou be able to escape this situation?
"She has her reasons for going alone; you should trust her!"
Su Yunzhou said helplessly!
"Isn't it all for you?"
Xie Jianshe said angrily.
Su Yunzhou was inwardly bitter: It really wasn't for me! Sigh...
Zhou Ye headed towards the wolf den deep in the mountains, stopping and starting along the way, and also collecting a lot of rare medicinal herbs.
When in danger, they hide in the space; when hungry, they eat and drink to their heart's content in the space.
I must say, it's actually quite interesting!
Around noon, they reached the vicinity of the wolf den. The wolf howls grew closer, and Zhou hid in a tree, looking down...
Goodness, there are quite a few wolves here!
The wolf pack seemed to have detected an unfamiliar scent and were searching around. Fortunately, Zhou Ye had applied medicine to his body, which could confuse the wolves' sense of smell.
"Aww~"
The sound didn't seem like a wolf's usual howl. Zhou also looked through the gaps in the tree branches and saw that a wolf seemed to be injured.
Ah, this...
I took out the map and looked at it; the item was in the wolf's den!
Grandpa really knows how to hide things. How am I supposed to get in?
Treating wolves? Sneaking in? Isn't that a joke?
Or should we wait until there are fewer wolves and then slowly walk in?
Zhou waited and waited, and it was almost evening. His back and legs ached from sitting in the tree, so he had to go into his space to rest first.
I took a shower, ate some fruit, and rested for a while!
He appeared, but unexpectedly, he fell straight to the ground as soon as he came out.
Luckily, he managed to grab onto a branch, otherwise he would have fallen directly. If he had heard the noise and the wolves had come over, he would have been finished.
"Shh..." He patted his chest.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong; I could hear breathing behind me.
Instantly, the hairs on my body stood on end!
Almost instinctively, he immediately returned to his spatial dimension!
Looking outside, the injured wolf seemed stunned, sniffing around with its nose twitching. Its blank expression seemed to say, "Damn, where's the meat that was just between my lips and teeth?"
Why did it suddenly disappear?
Zhou Ye then realized that it was the wounded wolf he had seen earlier!
It's quite a coincidence that I'm resting here...
What a clash of titans!
The wolf's forelimbs appeared to have been torn apart by a wild beast, with flesh separated from bone, and its grayish-white fur was soaked in blood, dripping...
Animals are animals, and can only wait for nature to heal them. If they lose their lives as a result, it is their fate!
But I can't stay home!
Zhou Ye's sudden appearance made the wolf very wary!
It retreated a few steps, wanting to fight desperately against the human who had suddenly appeared in the wolf pack's territory, but...
Zhou Ye suddenly took out a pig's leg and threw it over!
The wolf looked at the meat, then sniffed it with apparent intelligence...
Zhou Ye's face darkened as he explained, "Little Wolf, I won't hurt you, and I'm not here to claim territory, I'm here to find something!"
"A box, have you seen it before?"
The wolf squinted at the meat, unsure whether it should eat it or not!
"Fine, you eat it! I won't ask anymore!"
Zhou was somewhat disappointed; how could this wolf understand human speech?
I don't know why Grandpa put those things here in the first place. Did he not want to leave any descendants?
Could it be that you want your uncle to come and find us?
After observing each other for a while, the wolf seemed to think that Zhou had no offensive power and began to eat the meat heartily.
Zhou Ye kept a watchful eye on his surroundings while watching the wolves eat their meat.
After the wolf finished eating, it looked at Zhou Ye again.
"Not full? I still have more. Can you take me to the wolf's den?"
The wolf narrowed its eyes and flicked its tail...
For some reason, Zhou felt that it must understand her words; this wolf... it seemed to have become a spirit!
Suddenly, something occurred to him: "Do you know Zhou Weiren? He's my grandfather!"
The wolf suddenly exhaled a few breaths in agitation, startling Zhou Ye so much that he took several steps back!
The wolf glanced at Zhou Ye with disdain, its pupils seemingly flashing with mockery. It panted heavily, flicked its tail, and headed off in the opposite direction from its den…
Zhou hesitated for a moment, her eyebrows furrowing. She felt that although the wolf was walking in front, she was being stared at from behind by an unknown, sinister gaze.
Looking back, there was nothing there!
"laugh…"
It was the sound of a wolf, seemingly mocking Zhou Ye's vigilance and weakness!
Following the wolf, the unknown branches underfoot made a creaking, sticky sound, which sent chills down Zhou Ye's spine!
"I must be crazy!"
Zhou Ye muttered to himself. The surrounding woods were becoming increasingly lush. Just moments ago, a sliver of sunlight had shone through, but now it seemed that even the last bit of light was being swallowed up by the trees.
A chill ran through him, and Zhou regretted it for a few seconds!
"Creak..."
It was the sound of a tree branch being broken, but it wasn't my own.
Is someone following me?
"who?"
No one answered her from behind.
"Aww..."
The soft howl of a wolf drew her attention; a wolf was not far away, its eyes gleaming with an eerie green light as it looked at her.
With a heavy heart, Zhou Ye once again followed in the wolf's footsteps.
The ground is getting increasingly slippery...
Two days later, Su Yunzhou became increasingly restless.
"Uncle, we agreed on a time tonight, and it's already eight o'clock, and they still haven't returned. Shall we go look for them?"
Village chief Xie Youfu said heavily, "Ever since we found out that Zhou Ye went to the deep mountains, Jianshe has been leading a few brothers to look for her, but they haven't come back yet!"
I wonder how things are going? Or has the construction encountered some danger?
Bai Xue ran into the village chief's house crying: "Village chief, please quickly notify the villagers to go and look for them! Something must have happened!"
Or perhaps she fell. There's no sunlight in these deep mountains; Sister Zhou must be in danger!
The village chief stood up: "Alright, I'll gather everyone now to go find the people, and you should also go and inform the educated youth!"
"I'll go right now!"
Bai Xue hurriedly got up, only to bump into Xie Jianshe and his group at the door! Xie Jianshe's clothes had a large hole in them, with traces of blood, as if he had been in a fight. The others were also covered in dust and looked disheveled...
But Zhou is nowhere to be seen!
"Where's my sister, Comrade Xie?"
Xie Jianshe looked at everyone and said dejectedly, "Dad, there are too few of us, we can't find it! We found a handkerchief in the wolf pack's territory."
Bai Xue rushed over and snatched the dirty handkerchief. When she saw the flowers on it, she broke down and cried out, "It's my sister Zhou's! It's Zhou Ye's! Something must have happened to her!"
This must be a mark she left for us!
"Village chief, hurry and save them!"
