"Xiong Hu, give me your phone." Seeing his sincerity towards his wife, Mo Xiaotuo decided to help him out.
Xiong Hu obediently handed the phone to Mo Xiaotuo, who entered her number and said, "This is my phone number. If I get out of here alive, I'll buy you the medicine you're looking for."
"Thank you, thank you, Miss Mo. Where are you going, Miss Mo? We can help you." Xiong Hu thanked him repeatedly, speaking very sincerely.
"What we're doing is dangerous. You guys go back and wait for my call." After saying that, Mo Xiaotuo sent a text message with Xiong Hu's phone number and the required medicinal herbs to his senior brother.
Oh no, there's no signal here. She has no choice but to lock her phone and wait until she has a signal before sending it out.
"No, it's alright. Monkey and I are pretty good at running around. Just take us with you. We don't want to owe anyone a favor," Xiong Hu insisted.
Mo Xiaotuo and Luo Chen exchanged a glance, and Luo Chen nodded.
There is indeed a shortage of manpower right now, so finding a place for them to go out and deliver a message would be a good idea.
Just as the group was about to continue on their way, several men and women followed behind them. Mo Xiaotuo and Luo Chen found a large tree, sat down, ate a few bites, and continued on their journey.
When Nangong Yunni reached the mountaintop, Mo Xiaotuo and Luo Chen had already set off.
After an afternoon of travel, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, set up their tents, and stopped to rest. About two hours later, the others caught up with them.
There were noticeably fewer people tonight; everyone was just minding their own business. They were quite lucky; on their way down the mountain, they caught two pheasants and a rabbit. It has to be said, Xionghuo and the monkey are excellent hunters.
That night, it was roast chicken again. The monkey knew how to survive in the wild, so it carried salt in its bag. It only put a little salt on the roast chicken to preserve its original flavor.
Mo Xiaotuo saw the mother and daughter panting as they set up a tent not far away. The younger woman took out a compressed biscuit from her bag. The two of them didn't even light a fire, but just drank cold water and ate the compressed biscuit.
Xiong Hu followed the gaze and saw the mother and daughter eating compressed biscuits. He then took a pheasant and helped them start a fire.
"Has your brother-in-law always been so kind?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask.
“My brother-in-law is a well-known good man. He helps anyone who is suffering. That’s why his family can’t save any money. If I didn’t keep some for myself, he wouldn’t even have the capital to start a business.” Monkey was also a little annoyed by his brother-in-law’s good intentions, since making money was so difficult.
People like this are rare these days. Mo Xiaotuo felt that Xiong Hu was like a breath of fresh air in the mud, and his eyes showed more appreciation.
At one o'clock in the morning, most of the people in the nearby tents were asleep, with only a few on watch sitting around the fire.
As dawn approached, a muffled explosion was heard nearby. It wasn't loud, but many people heard it.
Mo Xiaotuo and Luo Chen came out of the tent, looked towards the source of the sound, and then exchanged a glance.
Mo Xiaotuo knew that sound all too well; it was the sound of an explosion during an experiment.
Judging from the volume of the sound, the place wasn't far. She took out the map and looked at it carefully; one of the addresses on the map was nearby.
Mo Xiaotuo wasn't the only one looking at the map; people in several tents were looking at the map as well.
"Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Mo Xiaotuo looked at Xiong Hu and the monkey.
"No, you're a woman, you go and rest, I'll stay here," the monkey volunteered, patting his chest.
"I'm not an ordinary woman, go to sleep!" Mo Xiaotuo waved her hand, because she had just accidentally spotted an acquaintance. And, to her surprise, her phone had a signal.
Normally, there wouldn't be a signal in such deep mountains; the only possibility is that there's a base station nearby. Thinking about this, she became somewhat excited.
"Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Luo Chen saw the smile on the little wildcat's lips and knew she must have discovered something.
"Okay!" Mo Xiaotuo felt that he needed to shake off these people before he could confirm whether the place he had chosen was the right one.
However, before Luo Chen could even return to his tent and settle down to sleep, a fight broke out not far away.
When Mo Xiaotuo saw that it was Chen Luyao who was leading people to attack the mother and daughter, she grabbed the stick in her hand and rushed over.
Although Chen Luyao was wearing a wig, she was still easily recognized.
"Chen Luyao, what exactly did they do to offend you?" Mo Xiaotuo stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's hand.
Nangong Yunni clutched her chest, her eyes reddening as she looked at her granddaughter.
Jiang Xinning was no match for Chen Luyao's thugs and was slashed on the arm.
"Dad didn't let me do it before because he was afraid I'd alert them. Now your whole family is here. Let's get started. They definitely have the keys." Chen Luyao stopped pretending and waved her hand to signal the people around her to do it.
Seeing that their identities had been exposed, Nangong Yunni pushed Mo Xiaotuo aside and shouted, "Xiaotuo, run! Run!"
"Grandma! It's Grandma!" Mo Xiaotuo's eyes reddened when she heard the familiar voice. Looking at the injured woman opposite her, she felt a pang of sadness.
"Stop looking! You're my real mother, we'll take care of it. You need to leave quickly. You must find your grandfather and destroy that experiment, otherwise many people will end up like Zhiyan." Nangong Yunni yanked Xiao Tuo away, her hand being cut by one of the other's men.
Min Ji-hyun, who had been lurking nearby, saw that it was indeed her grandmother and rushed out from the shadows.
Luo Chen came up to help with Monkey and Xiong Wu, while Chen Luyao brought more than a dozen bodyguards, all of whom were ruthless killers.
Mo Xiaotuo carefully protected her grandmother, while Luo Chen snatched the injured Jiang Xinning away from her.
"Bear, Tiger, Monkey, come and protect them!" Luo Chen shouted, then rushed towards Min Zhixian's direction.
Chen Luyao was stunned when she saw Min Zhixian appear. She suddenly shouted, "Stop! No one can hurt Brother Min!"
The assassins were in a bloodthirsty frenzy and completely ignored what Chen Luyao was saying. Their purpose in coming here was to steal the key and capture Mo Xiaotuo and Nangong Yunni.
Seeing the assassins' eyes bloodshot with rage, Mo Xiaotuo looked at Xiong Hu and instructed, "Thank you for your trouble."
"To catch the thief, first catch the king," Mo Xiaotuo said, then rushed up behind Chen Luyao with a dagger.
Chen Luyao's mind was entirely on Min Zhixian, and she hadn't realized the danger approaching. Fortunately, a bodyguard stepped forward and pushed her away, otherwise Chen Luyao would definitely have been bleeding.
Unfortunately, even so, the assassin was no match for Mo Xiaotuo, and sent him flying in just a few moves.
Chen Luyao was filled with hatred when she thought of Min Zhixian refusing to marry Mo Xiaotuo. She took out a pistol and shot Mo Xiaotuo.
Bang!
Seeing Chen Luyao's actions, Mo Xiaotuo pulled over a bodyguard, who took a bullet for her.
Min Zhixian broke free and stepped forward, holding a dagger to Chen Luyao's neck, threatening the bodyguards to stop: "If you don't stop, I'll kill her first!"
