Gu Junyao lowered her head and said that the grilled fish in her hand was indeed delicious after smelling it. She had not eaten fish for a long time. Thinking of the simple meals in Qingping Temple made her feel that her whole life was a shame.

The boat gradually approached the shore. Gu Junyao didn't know where this place was. She only knew that it was a picturesque place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it should be not far from the foot of the mountain. But she never wanted to go back to that place that made her scalp tingle.

"You seem to live in the mountains. Do you want me to take you back?" Ah Chou tied the boat to the side and whispered to her. Gu Junyao shook her head palely and said, "That's not my home. I don't want to go back. Ah Chou, do you want to go back to the capital?"

"What place is the capital? I've never heard of it." Achou seemed very resistant and turned around.

"Hey, you haven't asked me my name yet?" Gu Junyao thought this person was really weird. She had never seen such a weird person before, but judging from his behavior, he was a gentleman. It turned out that a person's character had nothing to do with his appearance.

"Not interested." Achou walked into the jungle, drew his bow and arrow and shot down a bird. Gu Junyao was stunned watching from the side. Achou didn't seem to look up at the sky, but just shot down a bird. It can be seen that his swordsmanship is really powerful.

"Very impressive! With your skills, if you return to the capital, there will be many wealthy families who will hire you. It would be a waste if you don't use your skills."

Gu Junyao clapped her hands excitedly, she had never seen such skillful moves before.

Unfortunately, this weirdo Achou didn't reply.

When Qing Xing received the news from the Gu Mansion, she quickly turned around and told Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru was practicing calligraphy, and when she heard what she said, the brush in her hand suddenly fell down, but she didn't feel anything. Although she didn't like Gu Junyao, she didn't expect that she would fall from the mountain and have no news since then. Until now, no one knows whether she is alive or dead.

"Qing Xing...what do you think the chances of survival are?" Gu Yunru knew that Qingping Temple was a very remote place. If one fell there, it would be difficult to survive without the ability to be self-reliant, especially for a woman like Gu Junyao who was raised in seclusion and had no sense of protection at all.

“It’s hard for me to say. I only know that there are many wolves, tigers and leopards on the Qingping Temple Mountain. We have been searching for a whole day and night but still haven’t found the body of the Second Young Lady. It’s very likely that not even her bones are left…”

After hearing this, Gu Yunru sat back in her chair expressionlessly. Her whole body seemed stiff and numb, and she had not yet recovered from the bad news.

"How's things going at home?"

"The mansion is in chaos, and the master and mistress are heartbroken."

The bright light outlined Gu Yunru's delicate face, which looked extremely pale at this moment.

"Miss?"

Qingxing saw that she didn't reply for a long time and didn't know what was going on.

"Remember to let me know when you're paying your respects at the palace. I want to go back and take a look."

"But Miss..."

"Okay, you go out first. I still have a few words to finish writing." Gu Yunru lowered his head. He had no mind to write. Although he and Gu Junyao were natural enemies, he never thought that her death would be so unexpected.

As it was getting dark, Gu Junyao didn't know where to go to hide from the wind and rain tonight.

"Achou, are you going to live here?" Gu Junyao came to a bamboo forest where there was a bamboo house. Although it was a little small and a little broken, it was barely enough for one person to live in.

"Yes." Ah Chou put the firewood aside and prepared to fetch water from the nearby stream. Gu Junyao approached him with a playful smile and said, "Let me help you. I often do this job." Then he took his wooden bucket and fetched a bucket of water from the nearby stream. By the way, he wanted to take a bath here before dark. Seeing that there was no one around, he boldly took off his clothes.

A few merchants passing by were looking for an inn to rest nearby, but they got lost. They wanted to ask for water to drink by the stream, but they saw a beautiful woman bathing naked in the river, and they immediately became lustful.

"Hey, who are you? How dare you peek at me taking a bath? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyes." Gu Junyao found that everyone behind her had greedy eyes staring at her with extremely obscene expressions. She suddenly felt nauseous and took a few steps back to protect her body.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see a beauty bathing here, in this desolate mountain. Maybe God saw that we two brothers had worked hard transporting goods along the way, so he sent a woman here."

The two brothers laughed, showing their big yellow teeth, jumped into the water and swam towards her.

"Don't come over here, you will die a miserable death!" Gu Junyao was bluffing. She wanted to shout for help, but she didn't have the courage.

"Haha, stop struggling. We two brothers will make you comfortable. Maybe you can even be our concubine!" The man said, and swam towards her. But before he got close, he was dragged ashore by a shadow like a black wind and beaten and kicked.

Gu Junyao took the opportunity to put on her rough linen clothes, wrung out the water from her hair, and angrily came to Ah Chou and said, "It's these two people, shameless and vulgar!"

"So what do you want?"

"Pick out their eyes!"

Gu Junyao only said those words in anger, but she didn't expect that Ah Chou dug out the eyeballs of both of them without changing his expression. Seeing this, Gu Junyao was stunned.

"Achou...I...I was just talking." Gu Junyao took a step back in fear. She looked at Achou in front of her as if she saw a fever, and quickly ran back.

She must leave this place, go back to the capital, and find her parents!

He didn't bring anything with him and needed to pack up, but as soon as he took a step out of the jungle, he realized he was wrong. The terrain here was so complicated, and there were some strange noises all around, all of which he didn't know, and he didn't know where to go.

As she was walking, she suddenly heard the howling of a wolf, which scared her so much that she got goose bumps all over her body. She had heard about wolves in the mountains from storytellers, but had never seen one before.

Gu Junyao was trembling with fear, hugging her body and running towards a more remote mountain road. Unexpectedly, she accidentally entered the territory of Langtouling and was surrounded by a group of little wolves. Gu Junyao was so scared that she could not speak and her eyes showed pleading. Unfortunately, these wolves could not understand human language.

"Wolf ancestors, please don't eat me. My meat is not tasty at all." Gu Junyao was so scared that she almost cried. Seeing the wolves approaching, she had to squat on the ground and hug her head. Even if she died, she wanted to die in a dignified way.
