After Fengming mentioned this, the others also felt that it made sense. At this time, the black dog was already getting anxious when he saw that everyone was not catching up with him. He rushed back to Uncle Xin Jiu's feet, bit his trouser leg and tried to drag him out.
A dog, about the length of a human arm, bit an adult man about 178cm tall by his pants and tried to drag him out. If you didn't know the truth, it would be a really funny scene.
But considering the identity of the dog's owner and its experience of disappearing for half a month while accompanying its owner in distress...
"Sir, regardless of your mood, I have to ask you something. I heard that Miss Xin passed away in an accident half a month ago. Are you 100% sure that you have seen her body?"
Uncle Xin Jiu had not thought of this at first. He just wanted to comfort the dog. When Feng Ming asked him this, his face changed drastically and he mumbled, "My daughter fell off the Zhishen Cliff..."
At the same time, the expression on his face changed from worry to shock, then to hopeful ecstasy, and finally to hopeful worry.
"You, you mean... this dog is... is..."
"Yes, I was thinking maybe the dog wanted to take us to find Miss Xin!"
Fengming looked deeply at the black dog that was trying its best to bite Uncle Xin Jiu's trouser leg and drag him out, not caring about the pain of retreating. Is it so smart?
It is said that people's gazes have weight. The black dog, noticing Fengming's gaze, stopped dragging Uncle Xin Jiu's trouser legs, turned around and stared at Fengming, ran to Fengming's feet with a somewhat pitiful look, bent his hind legs and sat down with his front legs upright, turned his little body to look outside the door, let out a long mournful howl of "Awooo, wooo, wooo", and turned around to look at Fengming with hope.
Fengming squatted down, rubbed the black dog's head with his hand, and said with a hint of hope that the dog could understand: "Do you want to take us to find your master?"
Who knew that the black dog actually seemed to understand. It moved its head out from under Fengming's palm, howled again at the door, turned around and ran towards the door. When it reached the door, it looked back at Fengming again. This time, Fengming chose to lift her skirt and follow him.
Feng Yuyun and Feng Xiyun also followed immediately. Uncle Xin Jiu, who originally didn't dare to believe it, looked at the backs of the three people and the dog, and couldn't help but take a few quick steps to catch up.
Uncle Xin Jiu was thinking about the news that came back half a month ago. Xinyi was being chased by bandits and she didn't want to fall into the hands of the thieves and be humiliated, so she resolutely jumped off the Zhishen Cliff. But the Zhishen Cliff was unfathomable. It was said that no one had ever reached the bottom of the cliff. They all said that there was no possibility of Xinyi surviving if she fell into the Zhishen Cliff. He had cherished her dearest child, whom he had cherished and pampered until she grew up. She had said before she left in the morning that she would bring him the special vegetarian snacks of the mountain temple when she came back, but he only received the news of her death. He was heartbroken and couldn't help but blame Xinyi. Even if she was humiliated, it didn't matter. At least she could save her life.
He had been unable to eat or sleep for the past half month. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would dream of Xinyi's cute face as she smiled and talked before leaving. Many times when he finally fell asleep, he would dream of Xinyi getting on the carriage. He would rush over to hold her back, but he saw Xinyi jumping off the cliff. He could not save his daughter no matter what he did.
But today, the eldest princess from Daqing suddenly sent back the black dog that Xinyi raised, and the black dog seemed to want to take them somewhere. Could it be that Xinyi is really still alive?
Uncle Xin Jiu was filled with anticipation, anxiety, and fear. He would be willing to sacrifice his life for his daughter's, but he could not bear the huge blow of losing his daughter again.
"Sister, it's so small and its legs are injured, it can't run far, right?"
While Uncle Xin Jiu was thinking for a while, everyone had already followed the black dog to the gate of the Xin Mansion. Feng Xiyun grabbed Feng Ming. He was usually careless, but this time he was unusually careful. Maybe it was because they were of the same species and could empathize with each other better.
"Oh, yes, it still has a wound on its leg. I don't know how long it will have to walk. It can't walk, right?"
Feng Yuyun also let out a beautiful cry.
Fengming quickly picked up the black dog and checked the wound on its hind leg. The white cloth used to wrap the wound had actually seeped out traces of blood. He couldn't let it run away anymore, but how could it find someone if it didn't run away?
"What's wrong, Yuanbao?"
When Fengming and the others paused, Uncle Xin Jiu, who was walking behind them, caught up with them. Seeing that everyone was surrounding the dog, he hurried to show some concern.
Now that his daughter has not been found, the only thing left in his heart is the black dog, who is usually loved like a treasure by Xinyi. He naturally doesn't want to see it hurt or suffer.
"It's probably because it ran for a while that the wound on its leg split. If we stop it from running, it should be fine, but..."
Fengming checked and found no signs of the bloodstain spreading, but if the black dog couldn't run, they wouldn't be able to follow it to find Xinyi.
"But, what should we do?"
Uncle Xin Jiu hoped that Gou'er could take them to find someone quickly, but he was also worried that something might happen to Hei Gou'er. Even a usually calm man became helpless when faced with something related to his daughter.
Everyone was silent for a moment, even though the black dog was struggling in Fengming's arms, trying to get off the ground and run away.
"Are you worried? But we are worried about you. Can you give us some directions?"
Fengming felt sorry for the dog's anxious look, but unexpectedly the dog calmed down and stopped struggling anxiously. It looked at Fengming with its black gemstone eyes full of expectation.
"Then I'll have someone hold you and let you down to smell the road when we get to the intersection. How about you show us the way?"
There was really no other way. Whether it was simply to save people or for Xin Wu, as long as there was hope of finding Xin Yi, we couldn't delay any longer. After all, it had been half a month, and who knew what would happen. Now there was only this one thing: when we reached the intersection, let the dog go down and rely on its sense of smell to find the direction. As long as we walked in the right direction, we wouldn't delay the search for Xin Yi.
"Ah, yes, that's a good way to do it. Ah Fu, you go hold Yuan Bao and lead the way. Be careful not to hurt Yuan Bao."
Uncle Xin Jiu gave instructions to an honest and kind young man beside him. Fengming handed the black dog to Bi Chun. Ah Fu took the black dog from Bi Chun respectfully and carefully, and walked in front.
"Hey, wait, we should start from where I found six... ingots last time. If we start from here, I wonder if it can still find the way."
Fengming almost blurted out the name he had given to the dog. Uncle Xin Jiu meant that the dog's original name should be Yuanbao. Alas, Fengming could only comfort himself that Yuanbao was also a good name.
"Sister, look, Yuanbao has been spinning around for a few times but can't find the direction. Where did you pick it up last time?"
"It's right outside Ming Pharmacy."
"Hurry, arrange a carriage and let's go over there."
Uncle Xin Jiu was the head of the household after all, so he quickly arranged the carriages and horses, and a group of people followed the dog to look for people.
