Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Venturing into the Deep Mountains
“That’s great, so you’re leaving in three days?” Chiang
Xiao suddenly had an idea, “I have sothing to do, which should take about a day and a half. If my grandparents happen to see you that day, could you cover for ? Just say that you ca back to get sothing and will leave imdiately, and that I am waiting for you at the station. I’ll wait for you at the station in three days.”
It was just a matter of covering for her, and she would leave her ho a day early.
If Hu Xibing doesn’t go out much and just stays at the teahouse, then her grandparents wouldn’t have much of a chance to run into him. It would be best not to see him, but just in case they do see him that day, he would definitely need to help her cover up.
“Where are you going that you need to hide it from your family?” Hu Xibing imdiately beca sowhat uneasy.
He was sowhat reluctant to shoulder this responsibility.
This one here was bold enough to get involved in so dangerous a mission. What if it was sothing dangerous?
Seeing the look on his face, Chiang
Xiao quickly reassured him, “It’s not sothing dangerous, it’s just not convenient to let my grandparents know. Brother Hu, don’t worry, I assure you that you won’t have to take any responsibility.”
She had great confidence in her abilities now, and besides, she had Space; how could anything possibly go wrong?
Hu Xibing hesitated for a mont before agreeing, “Then the day after tomorrow, I will try not to go out. They usually don’t co this way either.”
She should not be found out.
Chiang
Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this matter could be settled.
Having that python in Space always unsettled her.
After they had agreed, Hu Xibing even accompanied her back to Osmanthus Alley to reassure them.
“Big Master and grandma, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Sister-in-law and make sure to deliver her safely to Captain ng,” he promised.
With his assurance, Chiang
Songhai and the others, of course, felt at ease.
Thus, Chiang
Xiao began to look forward to her first ever journey out of Peace
Town in this life. Naturally, she also anticipated the bounty from her venture into the deep mountains.
Two days later, she put on a large backpack, bid farewell to her grandparents and Ge Dejun’s family, and headed towards Hu Xibing’s teashop. Once they were out of sight, she imdiately cut in a different direction and headed straight for Bai Gu Mountain.
To avoid drawing attention to her objective, she didn’t take a bullock cart; rather, she chose a secluded path after leaving the town.
Fortunately, today was Chiang
Songhai and the others’ rest day, and they were not going up Bai Gu Mountain.
Chiang
Xiao was nimble and walked briskly, almost breezing through her trek, and soon she was climbing Bai Gu Mountain.
In the height of sumr, Bai Gu Mountain seed much livelier than during cooler tis, a liveliness characterized by the chirping of insects, the calls of birds, and the lushness of the trees and blooming fruit trees.
Co autumn, the various wild fruits would be ripe.
As she climbed, Chiang
Xiao thought about her potential harvest and felt delightfully content.
They were a typical community that lived off the mountain.
Why hadn’t she thought of going up Bai Gu Mountain before?
Fortunately, she had this second chance.
Now, her climbing speed was truly fast. Usually, when she went up with Ge Dejun and the others, she had to hold back and not show her full strength, but now it was just her in the mountain looking to save ti. She increased her speed to the fastest, resembling a mountain monkey, leaping over many sloped areas in a single bound.
When she reached the small waterfall, she had almost halved the ti it normally took, and after just a brief rest, she continued on her way.
After exploring a bit further inside, she had already reached territories they had not traversed before.
