Someone like Zhang Ming truly going into the wild to survive is like courting death.
"Master, others don’t believe me, but you still don’t believe me? I really haven’t thought about wild survival. I’m not full enough to make myself suffer. I can’t cook, can’t make fire, can’t pitch a tent. What am I aiming for?"
Zhang Ming was quite helpless too, why doesn’t anyone believe him? That’s because when he talked to them, he boasted.
He knows his own limitations well enough not to be so arrogant as to think he’s invincible.
"So you actually realized you can’t do anything? That’s rare. I need to rest now."
Bai Zhi was truly exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.
At last, she left that place, finally able to have a new beginning.
What to do in the future?
No idea, maybe talk about it later. First, have a good rest.
After Bai Dan got the address, he set off with Moh Li and Xu Yan without telling anyone.
Right now, they still don’t know Xingxing’s situation, and besides, someone needs to oversee things in the village, elder brother and Bai Guang are the best choices.
The back mountain is still Old Han’s territory; even if it doesn’t need guarding, tourists can’t go there.
Bai Fei chose a city university; Nan University was to stay closer to home.
"Grandpa, is Xingxing alright?"
Moh Li and Xu Yan couldn’t calm their hearts; Xingxing was found.
They are so happy imagining Xingxing is okay that they want to jump up and tell everyone.
But they can’t. Xingxing’s matter is known to the authorities, and everyone wants to know how she came out of it.
Nowadays, the country is improving a lot, they seem to genuinely feel that prosperity has arrived.
The few countries that were previously arrogant now have to behave politely; things look quite good now.
They almost drove at the fastest speed, directly heading over because they were going from different directions, so it took them a day. Follow current novᴇls on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
When they arrived, it was already late at night, and Bai Zhi had just woken up.
In the afternoon, Zhang Family’s Parent brought food over, and brought a portion for Bai Zhi too.
They are truly grateful to Bai Zhi, always wondering how they can properly thank her.
Bai Zhi hazily heard someone call her, like in a dream.
She looked up to see Grandpa with a smile on his lips but tears on his face walking towards her.
She had never seen Grandpa cry, but Bai Dan, while shedding tears, was actually happy inside.
"Xingxing, Grandpa’s here to take you home."
Bai Zhi’s eyes immediately reddened, "Mm."
Bai Ming, who was used to his master’s calm demeanor as if seeing through everything, now saw her before Grandpa like a child with red eyes.
It really opened his eyes. Is this still the girl who cleverly fought against wolves?
She seemed somewhat different now.
Xu Yan walked over and ruffled Bai Zhi’s hair, "Sister, you scared me."
If not for Moh Li being well enough to prove his sister was alright too, maybe Xu Yan would have blown up that mountain.
And Moh Li said nothing, just held her hand.
Bai Zhi showed a big smile, "Brother, Moh Li, I missed you guys. Back then, I kept thinking I must get out no matter how far the road because Grandpa and you were waiting for me to come home."
That’s exactly what gave her firm belief, allowing her to persist until now.
Because she has a home and has Grandpa and them caring for her, she can’t give up; they gave her hope and motivation.
"Zhang Ming, I’m going back. Thank your parents for me. Oh, Grandpa, Zhang Ming helped pay my medical bills. My phone was completely lost in the woods."
In that final battle, she didn’t bring any money; she only had a phone. Later, it did come in handy but was lost.
"It’s okay; lose it, and I’ll buy you another. But what’s with that forest?"
Bai Dan and the others all came over, so they didn’t plan on returning immediately; at least Xingxing’s health needed some attention.
Moh Li didn’t hesitate and started checking Bai Zhi’s pulse, the internal injuries were severe.
"Grandpa, we need to go back right away, find the Ancestor."
Moh Li said that which meant they had to go back no matter what.
"Alright, then we’ll leave now."
Bai Dan also realized the seriousness, having Xu Yan hand over the money to Zhang Ming.
"Master, once you leave, what about me, where will you live?"
Xu Yan heard Zhang Ming’s words and was curious, "You call my sister Master?"
Zhang Ming nodded vigorously, eagerly recounting their time in the woods, the worshipful expression making Xu Yan pause.
There are still such naive kids around these days. No wonder he got tricked.
Xu Yan handed Zhang Ming a card, "Take this card; the password is six eights. Thank you for paying the medical bills for my sister."
This card only has a few ten thousand inside; it’s Xu Yan’s pocket money card. Anyway, the passwords are all the same.
Zhang Ming quickly declined, "That’s not right. Not just because Master saved me but even without her, she’s my Master, and paying her medical bills is rightfully my duty.
You being Master’s brother makes you Elder Master then. Can you wall-climb too? Can you fight zombies..."
Xu Yan: "..." Brainless indeed.
Bai Zhi halfway through turned back, "I forgot he’s a bit silly, call your parents to see if they’re willing for you to come with me."
Seeing his dazed appearance, Bai Zhi knew the poison took effect again.
This place has lots of mushrooms, but these mushrooms can’t be eaten casually, doesn’t mean you know how to distinguish them as definitely non-toxic.
Sometimes, even while poisoned people still want to eat.
But there’s a bunch who end up hospitalized due to poisoning.
Mushroom season, how truly difficult.
"Okay, okay, I’m willing."
Wang Ming called home, once connected.
"Dad, Mom, I’m following my Master to fight little monsters, ah, zombies are coming again."
Zhang Family’s Parent panicked, quickly rushing over, Bai Zhi took the phone.
"Uncle, Aunt, he’s been eating Ghost Green, hallucinated; I’m taking him back, my family has an elder who can save him. Don’t know if you’re willing to believe me."
Seeing his state, Bai Zhi knew he was readying to fight zombies again, actually quite amusing.
Just don’t know his inner feelings at this moment.
"Of course, of course, we’re willing."
Zhang Family’s Parent naturally agreed, since the doctor mentioned there’s no specific cure, but unexpectedly things got suppressed, Zhang Ming later said a little girl used acupuncture for suppression.
Hence, her elder is certainly more formidable.
Zhang Ming followed Bai Zhi and the others back, on the way Moh Li even handed out rice balls for them to eat.
Those rice balls were specially made by Bai Dan before they came. He thought Xingxing must be hungry, wanting to eat something he made.
Bai Dan knows he’s not good at cooking anything else. But only these rice balls Xingxing likes.
