Chapters 558 and 559. The Island
Based on his knowledge of the sea and the fact that he had already scouted the area the day before, Gu Kaiyuan quickly found the island.

Looking at the dwarves lying on the beach, Bai Suihe curled her lip in disdain at their clothing. As expected of a race without cultural heritage, what kind of rubbish were they wearing? Some of it was even more unsightly.

There were also some unidentified birds that landed on the beach and were pecking at something.

As soon as they disembarked from the boat, the birds were startled and flew away, but they didn't fly far. Instead, they perched on a branch not far away and watched.

The weather was hot, and after only one night, coupled with the unhygienic behavior of these people, the place reeked of a foul stench.

Gu Kaiyuan quickly led them around to the small hill behind.

Seeing the path worn into the ground, Gu Kaiyuan took the lead and walked ahead.

Gu Xingyang had already been woken up. Bai Suihe hadn't forgotten the main purpose of bringing this little princess here today—she really needed her.

“Mother, this island is far too small. It’s like a small hill that you can see the whole thing at a glance.”

"These people are so picky about where they are, they don't even know how to pick a good place," Gu Xingyang said with a tone full of disdain. If the place were bigger, it could be a temporary place for them to stay.

"Let's get to work," Bai Suihe patted her lightly, "and see where they've hidden their things."

Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe can find it themselves, but don't be fooled by the small size of this hill; it will take time to find it.

Gu Xingyang: "Don't worry, Mother. I've got it covered."

"Father, don't go any further. About 10 meters to your left, there's a snake with its head raised, staring intently at us."

Bai Suihe's eyes lit up. "What kind of breed is it?"

Since she started studying medicine, she has long since overcome her fear of snakes and has even become more interested in the venom they carry.

“It’s a mountain wind,” Gu Xingyang said, “and it’s really fierce. I don’t know why it didn’t bite those little dwarfs before.”

A snake that helps the enemy bully them is not a good snake.

"Don't be afraid," Bai Suihe handed her daughter to Gu Kaiyuan. "We've been using a lot of medicine powder lately, so this is a good opportunity to replenish our stock."

As she spoke, a snake trap suddenly appeared in her hand. She picked up a large tree branch from the side and before Gu Kaiyuan could stop her, Bai Suihe had already run ahead.

Before anyone could even see how she did it, the two-meter-long mountain pass was already pinned under the stick, the snake's tail tightly wrapped around the branch.

Bai Suihe's eyes were full of joy. "It's a good thing. I'll take this back with me. I'm sure Granny will like it."

I had previously said I would go into the mountains again specifically for these reptiles, but I never expected them to come to me so readily.

With a quick pinch at the snake's head and a swipe of the hand, the previously arrogant mountain wind was now curled up in the snake trap, having been moved to a different place before it even understood what was happening.

Bai Suihe closed the lid and tightened it before lifting it in her hand to weigh it. "It's quite big, so it won't die easily if we raise it."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at Bai Suihe's actions and shook his head with a wry smile. Who would have thought that the pampered eldest daughter of the Bai family would have such a bold and unrestrained side?

I remember when she had just married me, we were walking in the garden when a moth flew away from me as soon as it landed on me.

Compared to the fierce woman in front of her, it felt unreal. Bai Suihe put the snake trap into her spatial storage, then smiled appreciatively at Gu Xingyang, "My daughter is so thoughtful, she brought such a great gift as soon as she arrived."

Remember to keep a close eye on everything for me; we'll take all the good stuff.

Gu Xingyang nodded with a smile. That stinky snake had been staring at her just now. She'd definitely have her mother pull out its fangs later, and see how arrogant it would be then...

Along the way, Gu Xingyang helped Bai Suihe find a few more medicinal herbs before finally finding the treasures hidden by the dwarfs.

Actually, it can't be called hiding. Behind this small mound is a small cave supported by rocks, and outside the cave is a thin stream. This is probably the main reason why these people chose to settle here.

These people were so inconsiderate that as soon as they entered the cave, a stench hit them.

Bai Suihe was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and nose, held her breath, and took a few steps back. Only after making sure she would no longer be affected by the smell did she let go. "What's inside?"

If there wasn't anything valuable inside, Bai Suihe wouldn't even bother going in.

Gu Xingyang blinked her innocent little eyes, "Mother, there are still some good things inside, some silver coins, and a lot of grain."

Most of it was dry goods, apparently from the village they raided earlier.

Bai Suihe took out a long strip of cloth from her spatial storage, tore it into two pieces, tied one piece directly to her face to cover her mouth and nose, and gestured for Gu Kaiyuan to do the same.

Gu Xingyang felt a little wronged. "Mommy, why don't you think about me? I don't want to smell the stench either."

Bai Suihe carried her back to the space in a flash, and put her on the bed in the bedroom. "There must be a lot of bacteria in there, so don't join in the fun."

"Wait until Mother finds something good, then you can choose."

Gu Xingyang thought about it and agreed that it made sense, after all, she was still a baby and needed special care.

Bai Suihe followed Gu Kaiyuan into the cave. Apart from some signs of life, there was no one there, just as Gu Xingyang had said.

It seems that Gu Kaiyuan witnessed something last night: they gathered together to pray, which made it convenient for them to capture them all at once.

After lighting the torch, Gu Kaiyuan discovered a pile of firewood in the middle. He lit it, and soon the entire cave was illuminated.

This cave, which is about 300 square meters in size, has been blackened in several places, probably because they have been gathered here for a long time. In the corner, there are many piles of dry grass with some messy clothes discarded on them.

All the grains and dried goods that Gu Xingyang mentioned were piled up at the very back of the cave. Perhaps because of the grains, these people paid great attention to their arrangement, and they were all extremely neat. Bai Suihe took them all away without saying a word.

In addition, Bai Suihe also happily accepted all the loose silver and copper coins placed in the corner.

There weren't many of these things, which shows that life in the village they looted wasn't very good either.

Giving these heartless and insane people a quick death would be too lenient of them.

As for the weapons scattered in the cave, Gu Kaiyuan was somewhat disgusted, but he was also unwilling to leave them there. In case those people's accomplices came over again in the future, wouldn't that be letting them get away with it?

Gu Kaiyuan had Bai Suihe take all the iron products away. They could see if they could be remelted and made into something else.

They ransacked the place, released Gu Xingyang to make sure there was nothing left, and then boarded the ship to rush back overnight.
