"Awoo!"
The wolf king let out a miserable howl, sniffed around his wife, and finally began to lick her wounds.
The wolves, exhausted from working non-stop, voluntarily stood guard beside their leader and his wife, keeping watch over their surroundings.
After an unknown amount of time, the mother wolf finally opened her eyes weakly, and after a while, she struggled to stand up.
Then, the wolf king, filled with regret, slowly departed with his wife and his men.
After a fierce battle that lasted half a day, and then a night spent searching for the wolf king's cubs, the pack of wolves had been locked in a standoff with the humans under a tree for a while, and were now completely exhausted.
Faced with the choice between the cubs and the survival of the tribe, the wolf king, as the leader, made a difficult decision: to sacrifice the cubs and save the tribe.
Seeing that the wolves under the tree had finally left, Shi Guang felt relieved, but out of caution, he did not immediately climb down from the tree.
Wolves are extremely cunning animals and may very well launch a surprise attack.
Just as expected, about fifteen minutes later, the alpha wolf returned. Seeing that the people in the tree were more patient than they were, it could only sigh in despair and tuck its tail between its legs to chase after its teammates.
Time seemed to be clearly visible from the tree. After waiting for about 15 minutes, he finally freed himself from his restraints, stretched his stiff body, and slid down to the ground.
"Damn it! I think I caught a chill." Shi Guang leaned against the tree trunk and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
I felt a little dizzy and lightheaded, and I was also experiencing chills.
This body, ultimately lacking exercise and with a weak immune system, is incomparable to his former physique.
The jade gourd on his chest shone brightly, much like his reaction when he passed Lin Momo last time. Could this indicate that Lin Momo was somewhere nearby?
Time passed unnoticed, and my spirits were suddenly lifted.
"MoMo should be heading this way too. They absolutely cannot miss this opportunity again!"
Shi Guang felt a bit better, and without even eating anything, he packed his bundle, tied it diagonally to his body, and continued on his way.
The wolf pack just passed through here, so it's not safe. We can't let Momo come this way.
Guided by the jade gourd, time stumbled along for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Suddenly, a little girl carrying a bamboo basket emerged from the woods ahead, followed by a half-grown yellow dog.
As the girl walked, she whispered something to the little dog, her voice cheerful and pleasant.
Time seemed to pause, silently observing the man and dog not far away.
This little girl doesn't look much like the boy she met last time, nor does she resemble the image Lin Sanya had conjured up in her mind.
But his intuition told him that this was Lin Momo!
After feeding herself for a period of time, Lin Momo not only gained weight but also grew taller, to the point that even her family members who knew her well probably wouldn't recognize her.
Shi Guang had imagined countless times what it would be like for the two of them to reunite, but she never expected that their meeting in reality would be so unexpected.
Looking up, the person slowly emerged from the depths of the mountain forest.
Time felt a mix of trepidation and longing as he approached home. He wanted to rush over and embrace her, to pour out his heart to her; yet he was afraid of scaring her away; and he was also afraid that this person wasn't Lin Momo, leaving him disappointed.
This kind of contradictory and conflicted psychology is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Just as Shi Guang was about to wait for the girl to get a little closer before making a sound to test her, the girl stopped in her tracks from a distance after spotting him, looking at him warily.
How can I introduce myself to her without seeming abrupt?
Time couldn't help but scratch its head.
Lin Momo stared blankly at the boy in front of her, muttering to herself, "How could it be him?"
The boy I met when I went to the county last time.
Lin Momo didn't recognize him by his appearance, but by the dazzling light on his chest.
During their brief encounter last time, her attention was focused on the unusual feature on his chest, completely ignoring the boy's appearance.
This time, it was only because of that strange light that I recognized him.
Having met him once before, Lin Momo lowered her guard a little.
Seeing that he had a bag slung across his body, I couldn't help but think mischievously: Judging from his appearance, could he be a teenager going through a rebellious phase and having a conflict with his family, and is about to run away from home?
He even knows to change into a short brown outfit; he does have some sense.
Looks like it spent the night in the mountains last night. It's really brave and lucky to be alive!
Feeling that the other party would not harm her, Lin Momo, eager to descend the mountain, continued walking forward.
"Girl, are you carrying any water with you?"
Just as the two were about ten steps apart and about to pass each other, the boy spoke up and stopped Lin Momo.
Lin Momo paused, turned her head to look at the person, and remained silent.
Upon closer inspection, she was somewhat lost in thought.
"I've run out of water, can you give me some?" the boy asked hopefully, holding up his empty water pouch.
His gaze, however, fell on the hiking boots on her feet, and a beautiful smile appeared on his lips.
Without waiting for Lin Momo's response, he approached her with a smile.
"My name is Time. What's yours?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Momo froze on the spot, staring blankly as the boy walked towards her step by step.
The boy bears a striking resemblance to Shi Guang, making him easily recognizable.
Lin Momo was so surprised that she dared not recognize him, fearing that the boy was merely a lookalike.
"Let me guess. If I guess right, you'll have to give me some water." The boy stopped three steps away from her, quite confidently saying, "Your name is Lin Momo, right?"
Lin Momo exclaimed in disbelief, "Shiguang! It really is you! How did you travel through time too?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but be moved to tears.
She knew that the fact that Shi Guang could appear in this era meant that something must have happened to him in the modern world.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she just felt sad.
"Yes, it's me. I've come to find you!" Shi Guang replied with a smile. "Have you missed me?"
Lin nodded vigorously: "Yes, I miss you so much."
Even across time and space, you can still see your loved one.
How much does Heaven spoil her!
Lin Momo felt like she was floating on air. Could it be that she was the favorite daughter of the Heavenly Dao?
"I miss you too! We'll never be apart again!" Shi Guang embraced her, deeply moved.
*
Two people who reunite in another world have endless things to talk about.
So Lin Momo gave up going down the mountain and led Shi Guang back to the small territory she had built for herself.
"Your little valley is truly a wonderful place to live in seclusion!" Time exclaimed, gazing at the small and tranquil valley.
Lin Momo also said with pride, "I think it's great too. There are mountains, water, and fertile fields here. Life couldn't be more comfortable!"
She then dropped her smugness, glanced at him, and said, "There'll be plenty of time to look at it later. Hurry up and come inside with me. Can't you even feel your fever?"
Shi Guang raised his hand and touched his forehead, saying seriously, "Hmm, my forehead does feel a bit hot."
Upon seeing Momo, he got so excited that he forgot he wasn't feeling well.
Lin Momo rolled her eyes at him; how careless could this person be?
After taking the cold medicine that Lin Momo had generously sponsored, Shi Guang's condition improved the next day.
