410: Chapter 410 Too Thrilling 410: Chapter 410 Too Thrilling The two burst through the crevice and arrived in the woods, Tangyu also sighed in relief.
Looking back, a team of people had already started to chase them.
“Let’s go,” Tangyu pulled Zhao Yaya along.
However, Zhao Yaya’s face showed little fear, but rather a peculiar excitement.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled with an odd light, making one wonder what this little girl was thinking.
The two dashed through the forest.
Zhao Yaya’s stamina was quite good; she had run for so long yet still kept up with Tangyu’s pace.
“I can’t do it anymore, good brother, my feet hurt so much, I can’t run anymore,” Zhao Yaya suddenly said.
Tangyu stopped, knelt down, and said, “I’ll carry you.”
Zhao Yaya immediately nodded happily and jumped onto Tangyu’s back.
Fortunately, Zhao Yaya wasn’t heavy, weighing just over seventy pounds.
Carrying Zhao Yaya, Tangyu’s speed didn’t decrease much, and he continued to sprint through the forest rapidly.
The group behind them chased diligently and even brought hunting dogs.
Running in such woods was Tangyu’s forte, so he always managed to leave that group far behind.
“Eh, this isn’t the way back to Miyun Village, is it?” Zhao Yaya suddenly said.
“Of course not, I’m leading them in circles.
If we went straight back to Miyun Village, we might implicate the villagers.
By leading them in circles, they won’t know where we came from and might assume we’re just tourists from out of town.
Once they can’t catch us, they won’t chase us anymore,” Tangyu explained.
Zhao Yaya then nodded in understanding and said, “Oh, I see, good brother, you really thought this through.”
It was surprising that Zhao Yaya could still smile at this time.
Others might have been scared out of their wits by now.
Tangyu shook his head, continuing to race along an irregular route.
He led to a deeper area and sprinkled some medicine powder on the ground, rendering the hunting dogs’ noses useless.
Otherwise, no matter how far they ran, the hunting dogs could still trace them.
After completing this, Tangyu then carried Zhao Yaya back towards Miyun Village.
It took more than three hours for Tangyu and Zhao Yaya to spot the outline of Miyun Village, by which time dusk was already approaching.
“Phew, we’re finally back, good brother, we’re at Miyun Village now, we should be safe now, right?” Zhao Yaya said.
Tangyu put her down and glared at her irritably, “Now we’re safe.
I told you not to wander off; I carried you for hours, nearly killed me.
I think it’s time for you to lose some weight.”
Zhao Yaya smiled at Tangyu and said, “I’m not fat, I think I’m quite slim.
Okay, good brother, thank you for the effort, let’s hurry back, or Sister Momo and the others will worry themselves to death.”
“You know that,” Tangyu said helplessly, shaking his head.
If he hadn’t been there, it’s hard to say what tragic fate this little girl might have met.
Falling into their hands, it probably would have been a close shave with death.
Now that things had calmed down, Tangyu was also pondering the situation.
Whether it was the Yin Medical Sect’s doing, Tangyu couldn’t be sure yet.
This matter must be investigated further; they absolutely couldn’t let so many poisons be distributed, or else it would truly harm many people.
Whichever power was behind this, it was certainly a major disaster in the making.
So many poisons, if intended for harm, would be utterly unconscionable.
Tangyu would never let such an event happen.
Fortunately, those herbs were not yet mature, so there was no need for immediate action.
In his heart, Tangyu also developed some plans.
For the time being, it was best not to deal with that.
“Tangyu, Yaya, you’re back.
What happened, why did it take so long?” Upon reaching the village entrance, Guo Momo hurriedly came up to them, inspecting Zhao Yaya carefully to ensure she hadn’t been hurt before she felt relieved.
Others also came up, clearly having waited here for their return.
“Brother Yu, you’re finally back.
If you hadn’t come back soon, I couldn’t have held them back.
They were about to make calls to search for you,” Deng Li said with a smile.
Tangyu glanced at Guo Momo and the others and said with a smile, “There was a bit of an accident, but it’s all right now.”
“Yaya, where did you run off to, what happened?” Guo Momo asked somewhat sternly.
Zhao Yaya shook her head and smiled, “Nothing happened, I just got a little lost.
Sister Momo, do I look like something happened?
Okay, let’s go back, I’m a bit hungry.”
Guo Momo could tell that Zhao Yaya was being evasive and not telling the truth, she immediately turned her gaze to Tangyu and said, “Tangyu, what really happened?
You were gone for an entire afternoon, it couldn’t have been nothing.”
Zhao Yaya winked at Tangyu, signaling him not to tell, but Tangyu thought it over and still decided to share what had happened.
“What?
There’s actually such a huge criminal organization hidden in these deep mountains.” After hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Deng Li grinned, “There are even people in these deep mountains, how come I never knew about it?”
“Hmm, I didn’t expect it either.
If Yaya hadn’t accidentally stumbled in, even if we reached that place, we might not have discovered it.
Don’t tell anyone else about this, we don’t want unnecessary trouble,” Tangyu nodded and instructed.
Everyone understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.
Guo Momo also glared at Zhao Yaya and scolded, “Silly girl, why are you running around for no reason, do you know how dangerous that is?
If Tangyu hadn’t rescued you in time today, do you realize what could have happened?”
Zhao Yaya pouted and said, “I just wanted to test the Mind Stone again to see if it really has those miraculous abilities that good brother mentioned.”
“Didn’t we test it last time?” Guo Momo said irritably.
“Last time I thought it was a coincidence, and I hid quite close by.
This time I wanted it to be unexpected, to make the test more authentic,” Zhao Yaya explained.
Guo Momo was speechless and truly felt helpless dealing with this silly girl.
“Don’t you dare be so reckless next time, or I will have to tell your parents,” Guo Momo warned.
Zhao Yaya quickly tried to appease Guo Momo, saying, “Oh please, Sister Momo, you care about me the most, you definitely won’t let my family know about this.
I won’t dare do it next time, it was just a small accident this time.
How was I to know that there would be so many bad people in these deep mountains?
Look, everything is fine now.
With good brother here, we aren’t afraid of any bad people, all is well.
Hehe, but honestly, it was quite thrilling.
You have no idea, it felt like a blockbuster movie, so realistic, so exciting.
A few times, it really scared me to death, I felt like my heart was going to jump out.”
“…”
Guo Momo and Lin Feifei instantly rolled their eyes at Zhao Yaya; with such a huge incident happening, only someone as nerveless as her would not be frightened and instead find it exhilarating.
“Tangyu, thank you,” Guo Momo said, looking at Tangyu.
Tangyu smiled and said, “Why thank me?
It’s all something I should do.
Come on, let’s not stand around here any more.
Let’s head back first.”
“Okay,” Guo Momo nodded and then asked, “Those people have been chasing you all along.
They won’t come to Miyun Village, will they?
Wouldn’t that implicate us?”
Tangyu had thought about this question earlier and shook his head, saying, “They shouldn’t be able to follow us here.
I led them far away, they probably just think we are ordinary tourists.
Moreover, Miyun Village is quite a few miles away from there.
Since they have never bothered Miyun Village for so long, they probably wouldn’t dare to show up easily.
Our village is so large, they wouldn’t dare to harm us.
They keep their actions very secretive and certainly do not want outsiders to know.
If anything happens in Miyun Village, they would risk being exposed.
I think they wouldn’t do that.
However, it’s not advisable for us to stay here too long, just in case.
My idea is, we leave early tomorrow morning, head for Miyun Town, and have some fun there, which is also in our plan.”
“Ah, we have to leave so soon?
I wanted to play in Miyun Village for a few more days,” Zhao Yaya said, a bit reluctantly.
Deng Li also expressed his reluctance, saying, “You’re leaving so soon?
There are still so many places I haven’t taken you to yet.”
“We’ll come back some other time.
We’re leaving tomorrow,” Tangyu said.
Guo Momo nodded and replied, “Alright, then we’ll head for Miyun Town tomorrow.”
The group returned to Deng Li’s home, where Aunt Deng had already prepared dinner.
Aunt Deng also pointed to a pile of items on the table and told Tangyu, “Tang, these are all gifts from Deng Gaofa’s family, it’s their way of showing their appreciation.
Most of the dishes on the table tonight are from their home.
Originally, his family wanted to invite you to dine with them, but seeing that it took you so long to return, I didn’t want to make decisions without consulting you, so I declined, planning to ask for your opinion once you got back.”
Tangyu looked at the table packed with items and smiled, saying, “This is too kind, we really shouldn’t take all these gifts.
By the way, Aunt Deng, we will be heading to Miyun Town tomorrow morning.
We really don’t know how to thank you enough for your hospitality these past few days.”
“You’re leaving tomorrow?
That’s so sudden.
I was planning for you to play here for a few more days.
Did you not enjoy yourselves?” Aunt Deng asked.
Tangyu immediately shook his head and replied, “No, Aunt Deng, we had a great time.
It’s just that our vacation time is limited, and we still plan to visit Miyun Mountain and some other scenic spots in Miyun Town.
Counting down the time, there isn’t much left, so we plan to head to Miyun Town tomorrow to explore those places.”
“Oh, I see.
Well then, I won’t keep you.
But remember, Miyun Village always welcomes you back,” Aunt Deng said with a smile.
“Yes, we will if we get the chance,” Tangyu nodded, although he knew such an opportunity might be hard to come by again.
“Aunt Deng, here is a little token of our appreciation, please accept it,” Guo Momo said, handing over a stack of hundred yuan bills to Aunt Deng.
Judging by the thickness, it seemed to be about ten thousand yuan.
To Guo Momo, ten thousand yuan might not be much, but to the villagers, it was a significant amount.
Aunt Deng immediately shook her head and waved her hands, saying, “This really shouldn’t be happening.
You are all esteemed guests of Miyun Village, I absolutely cannot accept this money.”
“Aunt Deng, please accept it.
Otherwise, we will feel bad.
We’ve been eating and drinking here these past few days,” Guo Momo insisted.
“Eating and drinking is nothing; if you give money, that’s like looking down on me,” Aunt Deng said somewhat angrily.
“Alright then, Aunt Deng, I’ll put it away.
But still, we want to thank you and everyone else for your warm hospitality.
We will remember it,” Guo Momo said.
As news of Tangyu and the group’s departure spread across the village, many people came to say goodbye and tried to persuade them to stay.
Pioneer Deng also came over and made an effort to keep them.
The warmth of the people of Miyun Village once again touched the hearts of Tangyu and his friends.
This trip would clearly be a memory not easily forgotten.
