Chapter 409: Which Way?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and Wu Qinghe were walking deep in the mountains.
To be honest, this was the first ti Li Xiaoran had set foot in such a deserted place.
Everything here was different from what she had imagined.
But everything here was also magnificent and beautiful.
She saw the beauty of the sunrise, the magnificence of the waterfall, and the thrill of climbing the steep rock wall.
If Luo Cheng hadn’t brought a thick rope with him and climbed up the cliff first, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t have had the courage to climb such a steep cliff.
After climbing up, Li Xiaoran felt weak all over.
Lying on the ground, Li Xiaoran panted heavily as she enjoyed the comfort of the mountain wind.
“I finally understand why so many people like to climb mountains. This sense of accomplishnt is really satisfying!”
Luo Cheng sat on the steep cliff as he gazed at the beautiful scenery of the mountains at the foot of the mountain. At this mont, he felt much more relaxed.
“Whenever I’m troubled, I like to sit on a high mountain and gaze at the mountains. Compared to this beautiful river, my worries seem so insignificant!” Luo Cheng said with a relaxed expression.
At the side, Wu Qinghe was silent. As he only gazed at the beautiful scenery in front of him, he felt a sense of yearning.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Cheng glanced at Wu Qinghe and asked.
“I’m thinking about my ntor! I learned from my ntor in a deep mountain like this. Although it was not as steep as the cliffs here, it was still a very tall mountain. Those few years on the mountain were the happiest years of my life. Even though I was unlucky from ti to ti, I was very happy. Actually, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart!” Wu Qinghe suddenly lanted.
“After I left the mountain, I encountered one unlucky incident after another and saw human evilness again and again! Now that I think about it, the best place is the mountain because no matter how dangerous the mountain is, it’s beautiful compared to our current situation!”
Luo Cheng agreed with Wu Qinghe.
“Humans are greedy, while human hearts are fickle. It’s fine as long as you get used to it. Protect yourself and your family. We’ll deal with whatever cos our way! This world isn’t entirely evil. There are so kind people!” Luo Cheng patted Wu Qinghe’s shoulder as he comforted him.
Wu Qinghe nodded in enlightennt.
He couldn’t dwell on the past. He should focus on the future.
“Hey, look, there’s soone down there! Could it be that those people who are chasing us haven’t given up yet?” Li Xiaoran suddenly sensed several emotions. When she looked in the direction where those emotions were released, she saw so figures.
When Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe also looked at where Li Xiaoran was pointing, they also saw so figures.
“Hahahaha, they probably didn’t expect us to climb this cliff and leave! Even if they knew, they wouldn’t be able to catch up!” Wu Qinghe said with a smile.
“Let’s go! They won’t be able to discover us now, but they might discover us later, so we should leave quickly!” Luo Cheng, who was more cautious, said.
Li Xiaoran and Wu Qinghe nodded. Then, the three of them carefully distanced themselves from the cliff and walked deep into the mountains.
“We should be able to go ho in two days! I know a shortcut, but the pathway isn’t smooth! If we take a detour, it’ll take two more days. What do the two of you think?” Luo Cheng climbed to the top of a big tree and observed the surrounding terrain before quickly climbing down and asking.
“How difficult is it?” Li Xiaoran thought for a mont and asked, “Will I drag you guys down?”
Luo Cheng thought for a mont and replied, “The shortcut I’m talking about is a little risky. We’ll cut so bamboo or wood to make a raft and flow down the river. I know the general direction of this river, but I’m not sure what terrain will flow on the river road. Perhaps we’ll reach a high waterfall and fall down!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she realized that this path was indeed risky!
Without her, Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe would probably survive by relying on their martial arts skills.
But with her around, she would instantly beco a burden.
“Let divine it!” Wu Qinghe saw Li Xiaoran’s troubled expression and said, “I’ll see if it’s more dangerous for us to travel by water or the road!”
Luo Cheng nodded.
Wu Qinghe quickly took out his copper coins and began to divine.
“Let’s go by water! This divination ans that we’ll have a safe trip. Even if there’s danger, we’ll encounter a benefactor!”
With Wu Qinghe’s assurance, Li Xiaoran was relieved.
After all, from the beginning until now, Wu Qinghe was really good at divination.
“In that case, follow . I see a bamboo forest in the southwest, so let’s go over and cut so bamboo. Then, we’ll get so vines to wrap around it. We’ll be able to make the bamboo raft!” Luo Cheng made a prompt decision and imdiately led the two of them in a certain direction.
After half an hour, the three of them really found a bamboo forest.
There were also so vines wrapped around the bushes beside the bamboo forest.
Therefore, Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe cut bamboo in the bamboo forest while Li Xiaoran collected so vines outside.
The three of them worked together and spent an hour and a half preparing the materials for making the bamboo raft.
At this ti, the three of them were hungry and no longer had the strength to build a bamboo raft.
“Shall we get so food to fill our stomachs first? We should hunt around and prepare so dried at and boiled fresh water. After all, we’ll be drifting on the river for two days, so we need to prepare so food!” Li Xiaoran reminded.
Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe also felt that it was a good idea, so the three of them ate so dry food to fill their stomachs.
After that, Li Xiaoran picked up firewood and started a fire while Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe went hunting.
Luo Cheng walked into the forest while Wu Qinghe walked towards the river.
After Li Xiaoran built the fire and boiled the stead buns she had brought previously, Wu Qinghe returned with a few fish and so wild celery.
“Look, I found this wild celery by the river. I’ve washed it already, so I can put it in the pot to cook it directly!” With that, Wu Qinghe hung the fish on a branch and planned to put the wild celery in the pot.
“Wait!” Seeing this, Li Xiaoran quickly stopped Wu Qinghe. “Don’t. Let’s wait for my husband to co back and see what he caught.. We might be able to make stir-fried celery later!”
