"male……"
"Um?"
"Young master, are we really going to go with these people? Something feels off." The servant beside him trembled.
“Since they know about Master’s whereabouts, I naturally have to go and check it out, otherwise I’ll miss a very important clue.” Liang Yu waved his hand, holding the long sword in his hand.
"Young master, there are only two of us now, why don't we wait a little longer?" The servant quietly tightened his grip on her clothes.
"We can't wait any longer. The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and we don't know when it will stop. My master is also injured. What if it gets worse?"
Liang Yu had previously investigated and found that her master had consulted a doctor before being exiled. The doctor looked dejected when he left, indicating that her master's health must have been seriously compromised!
"Sigh, they didn't take much with them when they left. Even if they managed to escape, they probably won't have enough to eat or wear. We need to find Master, Mistress, and fellow disciples quickly. We can't let them suffer like this anymore!"
The thought of her once highly respected master shivering in the freezing cold, enduring a relapse of his old illness while begging on the roadside, filled her with unbearable heartache.
“Young master, you’re right. We have to find Murong Xun no matter what.” The servant clenched his fists.
"Young master, we're about to head up the mountain. You might see some strange things. Don't panic. Just stay in the carriage for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and you'll see your master," Zhang Yu said as she ran over.
Liang Yu nodded subconsciously, but soon realized something was wrong. If they were going up the mountain, why take a carriage? Could a carriage travel on those narrow mountain paths?
Before the two of them could react, they felt the carriage beneath them suddenly float into the air and then slowly fly towards the mountainside.
Liang Yu subconsciously opened the curtains and stared in disbelief at the mountain road and bare trees below.
Are they still riding in a horse-drawn carriage? How come it's faster than a cable car? Did she really not travel back in time?
"Young master, have we ascended to heaven?" the servant muttered to himself.
Liang Yu: "..."
"Wait a moment, let me sort this out." She pressed her index finger to her brow, recalling the scene from before.
Just as the carriage was floating, a little girl seemed to run over and tell them not to be surprised, so the others were well aware that the carriage had flown into the air.
Could it be that some extraordinary person is secretly assisting them?
What extraordinary person could lift a dozen carriages in one go and fly them up the mountain for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?
However, she didn't expect that soon, she heard a sound from outside again.
"Gentlemen, we have arrived at the village. You can get off the carriage now." Zhang Yu ran over and knocked on the carriage again.
"Thank you." Liang Yu exchanged a glance with the servant beside her before carrying her bundle and walking away.
Outside, snow was falling heavily, covering the entire world in a white blanket. The cold wind howled through the mountains, chilling people's cheeks.
But the village in front of us had a distinctly lively atmosphere, with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, and even a bonfire burning in a distant cave, where a group of people were warming themselves.
"Madam An, you're finally back!"
"Madam An, how dangerous is it to deal with the evil spirits this time? I should have gone with you! My husband only knows how to work hard and earn contribution points, and he didn't even tell me about this in time."
"Xiaoyu, are you hurt? Let your older sister take a look at you, so that we can treat any problems in time."
"Yan Yan, the county princess has saved some meat buns for you."
Upon seeing the procession of carriages, a group of people who had been warming themselves by the fire inside the cave rushed out.
"It seems this mission was a great success. Has that false god in Shijia Village been dealt with?" Old Madam Gongsun was helped over and smiled when she saw so many carriages.
"Ancestor, it's been resolved, but the specific details are a bit complicated. We'll discuss it later. The carriage contains half of the supplies we brought back," Lin Anniang said in a low voice.
The believers on the barren mountain side contributed a lot to the fight against Shijia Village. Without them, we would not have been able to get these supplies back. Therefore, Xu Rurong gave half of the supplies, which was more than the previous agreement.
"Never mind these things, come and warm up, have a hot meal!" Lin Mo led the villagers over, bringing bowl after bowl of hot soup.
“These are the two people we met on the road. They are looking for Master Murong,” Lin Anniang reminded them from the side.
"Have a bowl too, to warm yourself up." Lin Mo had two more bowls brought over.
"Thank you, but I want to find my master first. I haven't seen him for so long, and I'm very worried." Liang Yu said anxiously.
There are only two villages in this desolate mountain, and not many places to sell food and furniture. Master must have gone hungry and suffered a lot when he came here.
With a sigh, Liang Yu was led to the three stone houses.
"Is this my master's residence?" She chose the smallest courtyard and knocked on the wooden door.
"Young master, Master Murong must be having a very hard time leading so many people to live in such a small place. Luckily, you are smart enough to bring a lot of silver with you, which can help us in our time of need," the servant said happily.
Liang Yu nodded, looking grave as he waited for his fellow disciples inside to open the door.
The servant knocked for a long time, but there was no response from the courtyard.
Unconvinced, the two women went to the slightly larger courtyard next door and knocked, but still no one answered.
"So those villagers conspired to deceive us, and Master Murong never came here at all?" the servant asked anxiously.
