"What’s wrong? Why did he stop?" Chai Qin glanced at Yang Ruxin.
"Soone used powder here to cover up Mimi’s scent." Yang Ruxin scanned the surroundings and discovered footprints leading into the mountains.
"What should we do then?"
Yang Ruxin took a deep breath, looked around, and then hurriedly climbed the hillside, letting out a long howl.
One howl followed by another, continuing until three howls were heard.
To everyone’s surprise, not long after, faint howls echoed from sowhere in the forest, quickly joining together into a chorus.
They were wolf howls.
As everyone was startled, the wolf howls gradually approached.
Yang Ruxin’s subordinates didn’t think much of it, but the few governnt officials who ca to help search were terrified, their hands gripped onto their sword hilts.
Within a quarter of an hour, the wolf howls reached close by, and everyone saw a white shadow dart towards them like lightning. Following it were a white and a black wolf, but those two wolves stopped five or six steps away.
"Xiaobai." Yang Ruxin crouched down and hugged the approaching Xiaobai, "Mimi is missing, we need your help now." As he spoke, he handed over a pair of Mimi’s little shoes.
Xiaobai sniffed them, then let out a low growl.
The following Snow Wolf and Ink Wolf also ca over to sniff the shoes, and finally, one wolf took a shoe in its mouth and ran off.
Xiaobai rubbed against Yang Ruxin’s leg, then turned and ran into the forest.
At this mont, Xiaohei pecked at Yang Ruxin’s leg, clearly displeased. Why didn’t they ask him for help in the search?
"You go too." Yang Ruxin patted Xiaohei’s head and hurriedly followed Xiaobai into the mountains. Chai Qin, Gu Cheng, and the others quickly followed.
Xiaohei chirped and soared into the sky.
This mountain was also Xiaocang Mountain, connected to the mountains near Dapu East Village, all within Xiaobai’s territory. If that person took Mimi and hid in the mountains, they surely wouldn’t evade Xiaobai’s pursuit.
However, after Xiaobai circled the mountain, it surprisingly headed down from the other side, and the rest of the wolves involved in the search also gathered around.
"Mimi is in the city!" Yang Ruxin chuckled, "The more dangerous the place, the safer it actually is." Then she patted Xiaobai’s head, "Let’s go."
anwhile, when Sini woke up, she found herself lying in a woodshed, with her limbs bound and a rag stuffed in her mouth. Frightened and wanting to cry, the tears barely ford in her eyes before she held them back. Her elder sister had said that crying was useless when faced with trouble, so she wouldn’t cry; she had to find a way to escape.
Her large eyes darted around, realizing this seed like a dilapidated woodshed with a closed door and another window at the back, yet no footsteps or voices could be heard, indicating that even within the city, it must be a desolate place.
To escape or call for help, she first needed to regain the ability to move. How could she break the ropes on her hands and feet?
Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and the door opened. A masked woman in black entered, carrying a bowl. Upon eting Sini’s gaze, she smiled slightly, "Awake now."
It was Diewu, soone always by Song San’s side.
Sini’s large eyes were round and filled with hatred.
