Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 307. On the Mountain
Along the way, the Gu family had a lot to do, giving the women of the Chen family plenty to talk about.

Now, even the feud between Bai Suihe and the Gu family is well-known in the village.

Bai Suihe figured it out and didn't care. She was even grateful to the Chen family for spreading the word for her.

If she hadn't been waiting for that imperial decree, she wouldn't have felt so resentful and made so many concessions.

In this wicked class society, you can't just go wherever you want because you're right; you have to plan carefully.

Once she completely severs ties with them, she can be free to live her own life without having to live in constant fear of being implicated.

"Miss, would you like us to go out and help add some fuel to the fire?" Chunxiang asked eagerly.

Just then, Granny Pang, who was carrying tea, asked curiously, "Why are you adding fire? It's quite warm in here."

The room was heated by the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), so Granny Pang kept a close eye on Bai Suihe to make sure she drank enough water.

"Granny," the two maids immediately stood respectfully to the side when they saw Granny Pang. They could show their joy in front of their young lady, but in front of Granny Pang, they didn't dare to make even the slightest move.

"I was just chatting with them about village things," Bai Suihe said, knowing it was time for her to drink water again. She didn't stand on ceremony, took a sip, and then said, "I'm so bored at home, so I can only chat with them to relieve my boredom."

At this point, Bai Suihe looked at Granny Pang with some resentment. It had stopped snowing, but Granny Pang still wouldn't allow her to go out.

The snow outside was still melting, and although the dirt roads in the countryside had been compacted, they were still muddy.

"Wait until the weather clears up, then let her bask in the sun for a couple of days. After that, this old servant will take Miss for walks in the village every day." Granny Pang remained unmoved. She was already close to giving birth and dared not be careless.

Bai Suihe was just saying it; he didn't really intend to go out. He was also aware of his own situation.

In ancient times, apart from natural childbirth, there was no such thing as cesarean section.

What might have seemed like a minor accident to others was fatal to her.

She dared not be careless until she was fully pregnant. No one knew if she would have a second chance at life after this one. So she had to be careful and live a long life.

Seeing that Bai Suihe didn't mention it again and sat there obediently drinking water, Granny Pang couldn't help but smile kindly. The young lady was still very sensible in everything she did.

So she turned to ask the two girls about what had happened before. The Song sisters, who were cleaning outside the courtyard, couldn't help but look at the main room with envy and longing when they heard the laughter coming from inside.

Everyone knows that life is easy when you're with the young lady of the house. Look at Dongmei and Chunxiang, they only have to serve the young lady and don't have to do anything else.

I wonder if they'll ever have a chance to get close to Miss. If they do, Miss could help them find a good marriage later, so they can help their younger brother out.

Since the snow stopped, Gu Kaiyuan has been searching for treasure on several nearby hills. The trees on the Lingnan Mountains are lush, and there are plenty of wild animals.

Because it was close to a village, I didn't see any large wild animals, but there were quite a few rabbits and pheasants.

He could bring some back every day, which solved his meat problem.

This meat will also be a good opportunity to slowly replenish everyone's bodies, which have been depleted from the long journey.

The snow on the mountain is still quite thick, but you can see more traces of the snow.

They thought they would catch a few small animals to take home today, but unexpectedly, they found large footprints on the mountain behind their house.

"Young master, this looks like a bear..."

Gu Kaiyuan's eyes lit up, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed true. "Don't these bears hibernate?" "Young Master, this is Lingnan. Perhaps the bears here are a bit different." Lin Hua wasn't entirely sure either. "It's also possible that we're mistaken, since some of the snow has melted."

They were all skilled in martial arts, and Granny Pang had also prepared medicine for them. Even if they encountered a pack of wolves, they would not be afraid, let alone a bear.

In addition, the weather has warmed up in the past two days, so they might want to go out and look for food.

This was close to Tamura, and Gu Kaiyuan couldn't leave such a danger around. So he started looking around and found some traces. They followed these marks and had already crossed two mountains before they saw the cave hidden under the vines.

Smelling the faint stench, Gu Kaiyuan knew he had found the right place this time.

They didn't know what was going on inside, so of course they wouldn't rashly barge in.

"Young Master, shall I go take a look?" Lin Hua drew his sword, looking eager to try.

If we hunt a bear today, we can brag about it for a long time.

Others thought they were suffering when they came out with the young master, but they didn't know that they had grown a lot in this short time.

"Wait a minute, let's go up to the trees first," Gu Kaiyuan said, seeing several large trees nearby. "After you're up in the trees, I'll throw a stone to see if they're home."

It's not appropriate to visit so abruptly; we should first send a visiting card (a stone).

If it really is a bear in there, who knows how many there are.

As he spoke, Gu Kaiyuan picked up a few stones, put them in his arms, and leaped up the tree.

Lin Hua and the others followed, their eyes fixed on the cave entrance ahead.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Gu Kaiyuan threw several stones, and each stone went into the hole.

The moment the stone went in, a noise was heard, followed by a howling sound.

I never expected there to actually be bears here. Does that mean there are also big insects? Looks like I'll have to slowly explore the surrounding mountains.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw two dark figures run out of the cave, followed by several toddler bears.

It really was Xiong Heizi, but when he saw the little bears behind him, he immediately stopped Lin Hua and the others from making a move.

Because of the medicine they were carrying, the bears didn't notice them and circled around before returning to the cave.

Gu Kaiyuan quietly led his men away from the area, and Lin Hua couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, why didn't you make a move just now?"

"Didn't you see there are still bear cubs over there? Let them grow up after this winter. Otherwise, without the protection of the big bear, we don't know if they will be able to grow up."

Gu Kaiyuan wasn't being soft-hearted; he was just letting them grow there some more. After all, they didn't need to be fed, and he could clean them up later anyway.

"Once these bear cubs grow up, we'll take them all in one go."

Lin Hua suddenly realized, "It's thanks to your foresight, young master. This way, it's like we're raising a few bears here."

As for whether these bears will run away, and where they could possibly go, they're still in these mountains, and we can find them anytime. This deal is definitely worthwhile.

He took a few rabbits and pheasants back and handed them over to the kitchen staff to process. After changing his clothes, he returned to his room.
