Chapter 517 People from the Mountain Come Down

esn't look like something used around the house.""Could this be used to tie me up"As soon as she spoke, the elder's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "You're talking nonsense!""Oh, is that so""I th...Fang Jinxiu was exhausted after a day of work. Even the spiritual spring water couldn't replenish her energy after running around all day. To keep up with the progress of the manor, she disguised herself as a man and worked alongside everyone else, doing a lot of hard labor.

She was exhausted and hungry now, and it was dark outside. She really wanted to go home for a meal, a hot bath, and some rest.

"Little Flower, stop playing, I really don't have the energy to play with you now."

Fang Jinshi pulled at her clothes weakly, but the more she pulled, the harder Xiaohua bit, desperately dragging her up the mountain.

What are you trying to do

Xiaohua is usually quite obedient. For this spring water in her hands, she has practically become their workhorse.

What's wrong today Something feels off.

Fang Jinshui crouched down and touched Xiaohua's head.

"Do you have any discoveries you want me to see"

Xiao Hua quickly nodded, Fang Jinshu sighed, "Alright, you lead the way."

Alright, I'll keep going then. Xiaohua is a reliable tiger after all, her findings must be important.

Fang Jinshi stood up, Xiaohua led the way ahead, she had to grit her teeth and follow.

If I really missed some important discovery, looking back might bring me trouble. It's better to go and check it out for peace of mind.

One person and one tiger walked through the mountains. There was a small hill in this area, not very high. Standing on top of the hill, you could see the road leading into and out of the village.

From the foot of Yemou Mountain, one can clearly see everything outside. It's a good place to set up an outpost.

Fang Jinxiu exhausted herself climbing up, and Xiaohua arched her back and looked down at her.

As expected, there was an important discovery. She had been so busy lately that she forgot to arrange for people to patrol near the manor, and she even overlooked this road leading in and out of the mountains.

At some point, several tents and people were set up at the foot of the mountain.

Fang Jinshu frowned, wanting to take a closer look at who these people were. Unfortunately, it was too dark, and besides seeing the tents and figures moving, she couldn't make out anything else.

She rubbed Xiaohua's tiger head, "Good Xiaohua, you did a good job."

"Come on, let's go home and have your dad take a look. His eyesight is better."

Just as Fang Jinshu ran to her doorstep, she saw Zong Yu coming out from inside, still holding a torch in his hand.

"How do I get back"

Given his posture, he's probably just about to go out and look for himself. He did come back later than usual today.

Fāng Jǐnxiù didn't bother to find out who those people at the foot of the mountain were. She reckoned they probably wouldn't sleep well that night either.

"Ayu, come quickly, people are coming down the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Zong Yu also became nervous.

"Let's go take a look."

He turned back and instructed Zong Bo, “Tell Mother that I’m going out to run some errands with Jinxiu. You guys eat first, just leave the meal.”

Zong Bai nodded. "Big brother, sister-in-law, be careful."

The couple, accompanied by Xiaohua, once again reached the mountaintop. Zongyu's night vision was already quite strong, and after so long being bathed in the spiritual spring water, he could see things at night just as clearly as during the day.

"Do you see clearly Who are they"

"His expression was somewhat serious, 'He's a soldier, wearing military uniform and carrying weapons.'"

Fang Jinshu frowned, "Soldiers How would official soldiers be stationed at the foot of Yěshān Mountain"

Jinxiu, you stay here with Xiaohua. I'm going down to talk to them and see if I can find out more information.

A-Yu's movements in the mountains were several times more agile than an ordinary person's. It should be no problem for him to find out some news.

Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded. "Be careful."

Zong Yu passed the torch to her, then vanished into the darkness in a flash, leaving no sound behind.

He stealthily crept down to the foot of the mountain and got close to where these people were stationed.

Two soldiers were chatting while guarding duty.

"Big brother, weren't we ordered by the higher-ups to be stationed in Luoshui Why are we going around in circles to this desolate mountain"

Another person's voice was also extremely dissatisfied, "Just following orders from the banner"

"I heard that their family lives right here. Apparently, his sister got into some trouble, so Qi Tou probably came to defend her."

"Forget it, forget it. We can't control what happens with the flag, and we shouldn't discuss it anymore. Be careful not to let him hear us, or we'll be in trouble."

The two quickly closed their mouths, got up and continued patrolling. Zong Yu was no longer in his original place.sand days. We can't be lenient with the treacherous," Fang Jinshu shook her head."Building a wall is a big project too. We need to stop them from stealing from the root, so they won't dare to steal fr...
