Song Tantan was also very worried about the three wolfhounds and was busy going into the mountains to look for them every day. He hadn't been to the private school for several days, which made Ye Moxun lose his mood to teach the students. So he asked Zhong Qingyi to take him into the mountains.
"Ah Xun, you're not feeling well, so you should stay home and wait for news. With so many people searching together, we're sure we'll find her." The villagers valued Song Zhuiyan's dogs. The village was too quiet, and having a few dogs guarding it meant that if any wild animals approached the village at night, their barking would alert everyone, making them feel much more at ease.
So when they found out the three dogs were missing, everyone spontaneously helped to search for them. However, because of this, everyone was worried that there might be large wild animals around, so they went into the mountains in groups and carried weapons with them, such as hoes, long-handled sickles, axes, and broadswords from home.
After searching for seven or eight days, they still couldn't find them. Fortunately, they didn't see any large predators either. So, everyone guessed that it was probably because the animals were in heat in the spring, and the three wolfhounds ran into the deep mountains and got lost. They might have been eaten by a predator.
It's impossible for everyone to help search for the dog forever. The reason they've spent so many days helping is because Song Zhuiyan gave them sweet potato seedlings and corn seeds, and taught them how to grow many kinds of food they'd never seen before, but which could fill their stomachs.
This year's wheat and rice seeds have been sown, but most of the crops are sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. The main reason is that the wasteland is not fertile, and people are afraid that the harvest will be small and not enough to eat, so they won't be able to last until next autumn's harvest.
Sweet potatoes and corn yielded good harvests on their first planting last year, so to be on the safe side, everyone decided to plant less wheat and more sweet potatoes and corn.
Only Song Zhuiyan grows rice because she and Song Tantan like to eat rice, as does Ye Moxun, and Song Zhuiyan is more skilled at growing rice.
After planting the land, everyone stopped rushing to continue clearing the wasteland and instead went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms. Finding the dog was just a side activity. Later, they changed their approach to "whatever happens, happens." Since they were going into the mountains anyway, they would bring the dog back if they happened to find it, and it was okay if they didn't. They had already done their best.
The only ones still being searched for are Song Zhuiyan, Zhong Qingyi, Song Tantan, and Ye Moxun. The four of them are going deeper and deeper into the mountains. They have gone too far that day to return and can only stay in the mountains.
For the past two days, Song Zhuiyan has been carrying a large package. She had said a few days ago that she would search deeper into the area, so she was well prepared. Of course, this was all for Zhong Qingyi's sake. Otherwise, why would she bother carrying such a large package? It would be much easier to just throw it into her spatial storage.
As darkness fell, Song Zhuiyan took out two tents: one for her and Tantan, and one for Zhong Qingyi and Ye Moxun. Since the weather was still a bit chilly, she brought a thin quilt.
They haven't found any scorpions these days, but they've caught quite a few small prey. The ones they caught before are all pickled at home. Today they caught two pheasants, a wild duck, and a wild rabbit.
After the tent was set up, Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi sprinkled lime powder and snake and insect repellent around it. Normally, sprinkling lime powder would be enough, but since Ye Moxun had developed a lot of medicinal powder, they lavishly sprinkled it on as a double insurance.
Not only was pesticide powder sprinkled around the area, but it was also sprayed on the trees, since snakes and insects might hide there.
"You can sleep peacefully tonight. My medicine not only repels snakes and insects, but it will also make you weak all over if a large beast comes near," Ye Moxun said with a faint smile.
"That's good. To be honest, if I wasn't worried about falling while sleeping in a tree, I would have preferred to climb up and sleep there." Song Tantan looked up at the tall tree, which was at least five or six meters high. Sigh, it was getting dark, and the crescent moon had already appeared.
"You'd have to be able to climb them." The trees in this area are too tall; the bottom few meters are straight with no trunks, only branches at the top. Most people can't climb them unless they're good at it.
If Song Tantan had been confident in her past life, it would have been impossible for her to climb that high now, with her small arms and legs.
Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan went to find water and cleaned up their hunted game. Song Tantan and Ye Moxun sat by the fire eating snacks and chatting casually.
"If only your uncle were a time traveler too, then we could openly use the things in the space." There's plenty of water in the space, so there's no need to go looking for a water source. The mountains aren't safe, and it's dark now; we might encounter large wild beasts.
"Time travel depends on which dynasty you come from. Besides, not everyone who travels through time is as kind and discreet as me. What if you encounter a treacherous and despicable person? If you expose your spatial ability, will you have a good ending?" Ye Moxun felt that Song Tantan was too naive and too trusting, and he was secretly worried about her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Did I reveal that I had a spatial dimension on my own initiative? It was your broken system that betrayed me. How could such a broken system know that I had a spatial dimension? Isn't it useless?" If the system hadn't exposed her and her aunt's identities, she wouldn't have told Ye Moxun.
Also, "Uncle Zhong is an upright person and would never intentionally harm anyone. How could you say that about him?"
Ye Moxun: "Let me give you an example. My uncle is definitely a good person. Even if he knew you had a spatial ability, he wouldn't have any bad intentions, just like me."
"You're annoying enough as it is, always asking me for food. You're not a good person at all!"
What does asking her for food every day have to do with whether she's a good person or not? What kind of thought process is that?
"Be careful around the broken system, don't mess things up." Ye Moxun said this directly to Song Tan's face.
Song Tantan asked, "Did the system say anything?"
"Playing dead." Ye Moxun was extremely disgusted.
The system silently recited: "Under normal circumstances, this system does not speak to people. Not speaking means there is no danger. The host should feel fortunate."
