The boy opened his eyes wide in fear when he saw a woman beside him. "You finally woke up. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you..." Gu Yunru smiled amiably at him. If any child saw her smile like that, they would fall in love with her! "Who are you? Why am I here?" The little boy looked around in fear and found that his hands and feet were tied up. The strange aunt in front of him who was winking at him was really weird.

"Sure enough, everyone will say this when they open their eyes in a strange place. But it doesn't matter anymore. Do you still remember why you were tied up and taken to the cave?" Gu Yunru was asking this question when he heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Rong Zhen, he let him in.

"Xue'er? Why are you here?" Gu Yunru looked at her with joy, waved at her, and asked Xue'er to listen aside.

"I came to see what the situation is. Brother Rong went to the yamen and said that Lord Ji has woken up." Xue'er came over specially and told her the news about Rong Zhen. Gu Yunru nodded with sudden realization.

"I'm glad you woke up. By the way, little guy, you still haven't told me what happened before?" Gu Yunru's appetite was lost. He looked at the little boy with relish. He seemed to be recalling what happened before with a thoughtful look on his face. Some scattered fragments flashed through his mind. He couldn't remember it clearly, so he said in a daze: "I seem to have gone to the mountains with my mother to pick some wild vegetables.

But suddenly... my mother was kidnapped. When I opened my eyes, I seemed to be in a very dark cave, and there were many messy noises. I forgot what happened afterwards. "

Xue'er looked at Gu Yunru beside her and lowered her voice and said, "He seems to have forgotten everything..."

"Well... maybe it's because of fear, so he automatically deleted those bad memories." Gu Yunru knew that after a person is overly frightened and panicked, his brain will not be able to bear it, so he automatically chooses to delete some memories that make him feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is normal for the little boy not to remember those things. He didn't dare to imagine what it was like for those children to be raised with Gu by the leader.

"Then how should I ask this question? Has he recovered to normal?" Xue'er's kindness forced her to pay attention to these children. These children looked so pitiful.

"He hasn't fully recovered yet. To see if a Gu person has recovered, we have to observe his teeth first. His teeth are still quite sharp." Gu Yunru observed him from side to side. It would take some time for him to recover, not to mention that she had made a lot of preparations...

Lock the little boy in the house and let him continue to recuperate here in peace. Don't be afraid. Then Xue'er and I sat down at the stone table beside the yard.

"Xue'er, can you tell me what kind of clothes the people who went up to Tianshan that day wore? Or what kind of weapons did they carry?"

Gu Yunru wanted to use this to analyze who was so bold and presumptuous.

"They were wearing black robes, and seemed to have been prepared for this. The temperature on top of the Tianshan Mountains is unbearable for ordinary people. They must have also worn breastplates. As for the weapons they carried, they were a kind that had never been seen before." Xue'er tried hard to recall, but the past fragments seemed to be a little flickering and blurry. She did not see with her own eyes what weapons the group carried. It seemed to be a kind of curved hook sword or something like that, which did not seem to be found in the Central Plains.

"When I checked the snow wolf's wound, I found a wound on its neck, as if it was injured by some blunt object. Was this wound brought from the sky, or was it caused after it came down from the mountain?" Gu Yunru wanted to use this wound to investigate further, but Xue'er's heart skipped a beat.

"I never noticed anything wrong with the Snow Wolf after we came down the mountain. I just knew it looked listless sometimes, and I thought it was not adapting well after coming down the mountain with me. It turned out that it had an injury on its neck..." Xue'er felt more and more heartbroken. The Snow Wolf was always by her side, but she didn't notice that the Snow Wolf had been injured.

"Xue'er, don't worry. Fortunately, you and Snow Wolf arrived in time. Besides, Snow Wolf has a strong self-healing ability, so its vital organs will not be damaged." Gu Yunru tried hard to calm her down. Seeing that her mood finally improved, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Xue'er, when you were in Tianshan, did you recognize a type of font called ancient writing?" Gu Yunru asked her on a whim. After all, Xue'er was a saint in Tianshan. Although she had never left the mountain, she should be knowledgeable.

"I think I know a little bit about it. This font was invented by a small country that split from Persia in the west. But no one has devoted themselves to practicing it because everyone thinks this font is too ridiculous, so no one takes it seriously."

Xueer recalled it, but her understanding of it was limited, so she could only express all she knew.

"So that's how it is. Well, it seems that we can only start from this ancient book." Gu Yunru patted her hands to comfort her. She found that the yard was empty, as if there were fewer people. It turned out that Xiangping was in the kitchen with Shu'er, teaching her how to make cakes.

"This rice cake is very simple. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, someone invented the method of using glutinous rice flour and sifting it with a whirlpool. Then, water and honey were added to knead it into a harder dough and dates and chestnuts were pasted on the dough.

Wrap it in lotus leaves and steam it until cooked. It has a strong Central Plains flavor and is easy to understand. You can try it.”

Shu'er nodded. This rice cake is indeed easy to make, easy to store, and can be eaten in different ways. However, the shape is not as good-looking as Xiangping's. She couldn't help but hang her head and said, "Why is it that it looks almost the same as yours? Forget it, just teach me how to make steamed cake."

"To make steamed cakes, you need to mix rice flour with wine trough. After fermentation, the rice cakes can be made. However, it takes some experience to know how to use them. There is also a Fuling cake, also known as Fuming cake, which is a traditional handmade food. Maybe you can make it. It has a distinct color and is beautiful and delicious. I believe you will like it."
