Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Can’t Find Anywhere Around
“Brother, brother.”
Lin Yi lowered his voice, and then softly called out here.
The night was extrely silent, so at this ti, even if he shouted, if he wasn’t far away, he should have been able to hear it completely.
“Brother, brother.”
Without seeing any response, Lin Yi continued to call out here.
“Stop yelling. I guess he must have already left this place.”
Ling’er quickly made a judgnt.
At this mont, it was as if sothing suddenly occurred to her.
“Oh no.”
She yelled loudly, and at last, hurried back into the tent.
Lin Yi looked up, and it was obvious that the two of them had no idea what had happened. Why had she beco so tense all of a sudden?
“What, what’s wrong with him?”
“I don’t know. Let’s go take a look inside, I guess Ling’er must have thought of sothing.”
To tell the truth, the two followed Ling’er straight into the room.
At this ti, they saw Ling’er sitting in front of her own tent, then she took out that special storage tool, which was now completely empty inside.
In fact, Lin Yi rembered very clearly that he had just put the last lot of cat’s paw grass into this box in the afternoon.
But now, not only the hunter was missing, the cat’s paw grass had also disappeared. Could it be that the hunter had stolen the cat’s paw grass?
“What, what happened here? How did it suddenly disappear like this?”
“I know now. This afternoon, the hunter had also asked about the value of this thing if it were taken to the market. Could it be he really harbored evil intentions and then stole it?”
“You can’t be serious. Didn’t you tell him this afternoon? It’s worth about twenty thousand or so—is it possible that just for that amount, he slipped away quietly?”
“What else could it be, then? Now, the man is gone, and the cat’s paw grass is gone too. Where else could he have gone?”
“That really is a bit uncertain.”
He had never imagined that the hunter would steal sothing and plunge them into dead silence.
“If that’s the case, then this matter is really troubleso for us.”
“How co I feel like that’s not like him? Besides, he might have been a bit greedy for money before, but not to the extent of leaving us in danger, outright taking our stuff without rhy or reason, right?”
“Not necessarily. Big Brother, you’ve said before that the situation with this hunter is more complicated than we think, and who knows what’s in his mind. If tempted by this money, couldn’t he make such a choice?”
“If he wanted to harm us, he would have a thousand ways to do so, but he didn’t do anything like that in broad daylight. Instead, he chooses to leave with the cat’s paw grass at night, at such a dangerous ti—I tend to think he must have had sothing he needed to do.”
“Sothing to do? What else could he possibly have to do?”
“Oh no, I know where he went.”
At this mont, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea.
“Big Brother, have… have you thought of sothing?”
“This afternoon, the swamp we visited—I guess if I’m not wrong, the hunter must have gone back there.”
“What? Why would he go there in the dead of night, and besides, the swamp environnt is so treacherous—could there be so misunderstanding here?”
“No, if I’m not mistaken, at that ti, the cat’s paw grass had not been completely picked.”
Having said that, Lin Yi turned his head to look at Ling’er, who just nodded slightly.
That afternoon, indeed, she had seen about six or seven plants, but she hadn’t counted the exact number.
Moreover, Ling’er had always been ungreedy. She felt that these things growing there were more valuable than being held in her own hands.
“If you’re saying that, then it seems to make sense. Moreover, I can tell you that cat’s paw grass can only retain its full potency for about three days. After that ti, if you take it out, it’ll just be an ordinary piece of grass with no value whatsoever.”
“But the main issue is, you didn’t tell him that. So they think this stuff is very valuable, and that’s why they’re taking the risk to pick it in the middle of the night, even taking the cat’s paw grass from you, just to make sure they don’t pick the wrong thing.”
“Big Brother, so what should we do?”
“We can’t just do nothing. In the middle of the night, we absolutely cannot leave soone in danger. And let tell you, it’s extrely dangerous in there. So many of us almost had trouble, let alone him being alone?”
“Don’t tell you’re saying we should go back there now to find him?”
“Exactly, we must find him. After all, we are a team, and at this ti, if sothing really happened to him, our subsequent journey would be even more troubleso. It’s not just for his sake, but also for our own. Do you understand, Hei Lang?”
In truth, Lin Yi’s words were also very clear.
He hoped Hei Lang would understand this principle. He knew that Hei Lang was always eager to serve himself, but if it was these people’s matters, he feared they truly wouldn’t be taken seriously.
“Alright then. Since Big Brother you have already said so, we can only return to that place in the dead of night.”
“Ling’er, what I an is, if it’s not possible, you should stay here. I promised to stay here with him tomorrow, and I feel this place is generally quite safe overall.”
In fact, Lin Yi’s thinking was quite straightforward. Now that these people had already started taking risks.
And clearly, this ti, if they really encountered problems, then it would be a very risky act for them.
He didn’t want to cause harm to Ling’er because of this matter. If sothing unexpected happened to Ling’er, then their plan to enter Xi Lian Mountain might have to be prematurely ended.
