Chapter 133: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 133: Searching for Treasure Below the Cliff (2)
The wolf drank most of the water in the barrel in one breath, without even pausing to take a break. When the barrel was emptied, it still looked at Mo Yan with an unfinished expression, clearly wanting more.
Mo Yan turned her head away and ignored it, starting to clean up the dirt and debris from Xiao Hua's body.
After Xiao Hua's body was cleaned up and its fur regained its smooth and shiny appearance, the Spirit Spring water finally elicited a response from the wolf. Mo Yan could even hear its stomach growling.
The wolf seemed to know what to do and walked calmly to a dense clump of grass.
Shy? Mo Yan looked at its back in amusement. This wolf was definitely something else!
After the wolf finished its personal business, Mo Yan bid it farewell. Since it was still early, she had to seize the time to explore further and see if she could find rare medicinal herbs like ginseng.
Seeing that Mo Yan didn't move, the wolf followed behind her, neither too close nor too far.
Mo Yan didn't know what it was up to, but since it had no malicious intent, having it follow might intimidate other wild beasts. She couldn't rely on Xiao Hua, who was a weak fighter.
Xiao Hua, unaware of Mo Yan's inner thoughts, was extremely unhappy about being led by their enemy. It bit Mo Yan's clothes and tried to retreat.
Mo Yan could only pat it helplessly, grabbing its ear and pulling it along reluctantly.
Seemingly the weak spot of all canines, Xiao Hua couldn't resist Mo Yan's pinching. It reluctantly followed, tail drooping in dissatisfaction.
After winding through various paths for quite a distance, Mo Yan's feet began to ache, yet the wolf showed no signs of stopping. She wanted to ask where it was leading her, but the language barrier made her give up on the idea.
Fortunately, not long after, the wolf finally stopped. Mo Yan hurried over, but when she saw the scene before her, her head spun, and she quickly closed her eyes to wait for the dizziness to pass.
Mo Yan didn't have a fear of heights, but who wouldn't feel a surge of fear at the thought of being swallowed by the abyss at first glance?
A strong gust of wind blew at the edge of the cliff, and Mo Yan didn't dare to get too close. After considering, she decided to crouch down and carefully crawl to the edge to look down.
After getting used to the depth of the abyss, she searched around, but besides a few crooked-neck trees growing on the cliff, she didn't see any ginseng or lingzhi as she had hoped.
"Is there anything good here?" Mo Yan turned her head to ask the wolf squatting beside her.
The wolf glanced at her, picked up a stone, and walked to the edge of the cliff before tossing it down.
Mo Yan thought that the height was too high for her to hear the stone hitting the ground, but at that moment, the sound of the stone hitting the ground was clearly transmitted to her ears.
Mo Yan's eyes lit up. She looked down again carefully. Just then, another gust of wind blew, and she vaguely saw a flat area below the swirling mist.
Could the treasure be down there?
Mo Yan's heart raced, unsure whether to take the risk.
If there really was treasure down there, it would be a pity to miss it after coming all this way. But if she risked being smashed into a meat patty and found nothing, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
But... what if there really was something there?
