Chapter 306: Chapter 298: Li Santong

Just then, someone in the crowd chimed in, "A Wu, I just saw Zhi leave with a machete. Looked like she was heading for Luoying Mountain."

Old Mrs. Bai was taken aback. She had indeed seen Bai Zhi leave the village, but she hadn’t known where she was going. Saying that Bai Zhi was going to Luoying Mountain to get herself killed had just been a careless remark. How could she have been right?

A Wu hurried to haul the wolf carcasses off the oxcart, carrying them one by one into the Hu Family’s house for Uncle Hu and Zhao Lan to deal with.

Seeing how anxious he looked, Uncle Hu quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

A Wu asked, "Where did Miss Bai go?"

Uncle Hu said, "She said she was going to catch leeches. Do you need her for something?"

’Looks like they don’t know,’ A Wu thought. ’Then again, with Miss Bai’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t have told them.’

A Wu smiled. "I have something to ask her. You two start cleaning up, I’ll go find her."

Uncle Hu and Zhao Lan didn’t pay him much mind. Their attention was completely captivated by the huge wolf carcasses before them. They had often heard wolves howling, but this was the first time they had ever seen a real wolf up close.

A Wu left in a hurry. Once out of the village, he rushed toward Luoying Mountain. He had never been to Luoying Mountain before and kept coming across forks in the road, unsure which path to take. Just then, he ran into Li Santong, who was returning from the fields.

"Isn’t that A Wu? Where are you off to in such a rush?"

A Wu didn’t recognize Li Santong. After all, he had only been in the village for a couple of days. He might have seen him before but couldn’t remember his face. "Sir, have you seen Miss Bai Zhi?"

Li Santong nodded. "I did. I saw her earlier catching leeches in the ditch over there. Didn’t she go back home after that?"

A Wu said urgently, "She went back, but then she left again. Someone in the village said she went to Luoying Mountain. Do you know which road leads to Luoying Mountain?"

Li Santong was startled too. "She went to Luoying Mountain?" He remembered her asking about pangolins earlier and it suddenly clicked. "She must have gone to find a pangolin! She asked me before where she could find one. That kind of animal can only be found in the mountains, so we told her as much."

Li Santong sighed. "That girl is really brave. What kind of place is Luoying Mountain? It’s no place for a young girl like her to go wandering off to. Isn’t she just asking for death?"

A Wu was frantic. He asked again, "Please, just tell me which road goes to Luoying Mountain. I have to find her quickly."

Li Santong led him past two small paths and onto a main road. "Just follow this road. Keep going straight, and it’ll take you right to Luoying Mountain. Hurry now. You’re a man, you’re fast on your feet. You might still be able to catch up to her. If you do, you must bring her back. Luoying Mountain is far too dangerous."

A Wu thanked Li Santong and rushed off.

Li Santong had just finished his work as well, so he shouldered his hoe and headed back to the village, making a beeline for Hu Changlin’s house.

Meanwhile, after putting the leeches out to dry, Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan were discussing how to deal with the three vicious wolves when they heard a noise from inside the house.

Hu Changlin was overjoyed. "It must be Hu Feng! He’s awake."

The two of them immediately dropped what they were holding and rushed into the house.

Sure enough, Hu Feng was awake. He was stretching out his hand, trying to reach a teacup on the table.

Hu Changlin went forward, picked up the teacup, and quickly poured a bowl of hot tea. "You’re finally awake! The state you were in... you had us worried sick."

Hu Feng’s head was splitting, his mind was buzzing, and his vision was blurry, but his thoughts were clear.

He took the bowl from Hu Changlin and, GULP, GULP, drank down the large bowl of warm water.
