Gu Guanhai shook his head with a solemn expression, "We can't pursue them."
He said in a deep voice, "The heavy snow has covered their footprints, and we have no way of determining their exact whereabouts. Moreover, in the deep mountains at this time of year, wild beasts are hungry and cold, and extremely fierce."
"The most crucial point is that even if we manage to find their whereabouts, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to get close!"
At this point, Gu Guanhai paused for a moment and slowly said, "The Baishan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and the tribes in the deep mountains live in seclusion, eating raw meat and drinking blood, leading a life similar to that of primitive people."
“Their territory is usually surrounded by traps, making it difficult for outsiders to get close.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
His brows immediately furrowed.
"So, we're just going to leave it at that?"
She said in a deep voice, "I'm not willing to let Qin Yuzhu go like this!"
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
After a moment's thought, he reassured her, "Think of it on the bright side. Like Old Yuan said, we might not be able to do anything to her, but..."
"She brought this upon herself by being sold into the mountains, so it has nothing to do with us."
“The depths of Changbai Mountain are not so easy to enter, and once you get in, it’s even harder to get out.”
"Being sold to the remote mountains was, in a sense, a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than being taken away by Lao Yuan!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
He immediately fell into deep thought.
This was also the reason she gave up searching for Qin Yuzhu.
Because she knew that being sold to a remote mountain village would be a terrible experience.
But.
Times change.
At this moment, she really wanted to kill Qin Yuzhu and eliminate this hidden danger completely.
The villagers who escorted Yu Mingxiang, having not heard clearly what the two were saying, quickly tried to dissuade them as well.
"Dr. Yu, we know that being sold to the deep mountains is worse than death, and we know that you and Qin Yuzhu are mother and daughter, and you are worried about her. But Qin Yuzhu's life is precious, and so are ours!"
"At this time, it is absolutely forbidden to go into the mountains!"
"Just listen to Guan Hai!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...
He glanced at them, then at Gu Guanhai.
It was dark.
It's still snowing.
Having said all that, what else could she do?
Even if she was unwilling, she couldn't joke about other people's lives.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
After gazing at the deep mountains for a while, he finally sighed and said, "Let's leave it at that for now!"
Qin Yuzhu's life in the deep mountains was exactly what she knew.
But.
Their trip did not resolve the issue with her.
Perhaps, this is destiny.
Gu Guanhai responded with a "Hmm!"
He responded, stepped forward, and naturally took her hand.
The villagers who had come along looked at each other and exchanged knowing glances.
Soon, the group followed the path they had come from and headed towards where the old village chief and the others were.
When they returned, Zhao Tengfei's mutilated body had already been collected and placed in a coffin.
Zhao Tiezhu was acting erratically, still insisting on his innocence.
Gu Guanhai saw the old village chief and asked, "Is everything packed up?"
Upon hearing this, the old village chief nodded, "It's all packed up."
"We're all packed up, let's go back now."
Gu Guanhai said in a deep voice, "This place is full of the smell of blood, and it may attract wild animals. It's not safe to stay here."
Upon hearing this, the old village chief and the others nodded repeatedly.
The group quickly headed towards Hedao Village.
Traveling at night is difficult, especially with snow falling.
Gu Guanhai's pace slowed down more and more.
Yu Mingxiang keenly noticed his unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Gu Guanhai held her hand with one hand and rested his other hand on his waist. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
