C383 (1/2)

”Let's take advantage of the cool weather and walk faster. Otherwise, it would be too hot to travel in the sun at noon.” Mo Xiaoyan had the experience of leaving the valley last time, so she knew this time.

Last time, she had gotten up early, but on the way, she had looked left and right, walking slowly and wasting a lot of time.

It was almost dark by the time they got there, so if they walked faster this time, they would have less time to rest. It was probably much earlier on the road upstairs than the last time.

Yeah, Xiaoyan is right, we should go faster. Lady Li also knew that the road ahead was not easy, when the time came it would definitely be a waste of time, so she decided to take advantage of the time and hurry up on the road to save time.

They didn't say anything along the way and hurried on their way. The weeds by the side of the road had soaked their skirts, but the air was very cool and comfortable.

”Xiaoyan, if you are tired, let's rest a bit.” Ji Xun saw that Mo Xiaoyan walked away really quickly this time, much faster than last time, so he was afraid of burdening her, so he thought of resting once he was tired, and didn't rush too much, he just needed to return before nightfall.

But Mo Xiaoyan thought that it would be better to leave quickly, in case it got dark on the way back. It was too dangerous to walk like this, so it would be better to make use of this time to leave.

Ji Xun thought that if he went onto the main road and it became dark, he would go to the house that had put the carriage there. He would sleep there for the night and return the next morning.

After walking for the entire morning, he did not rest. Even though he was panting from exhaustion, he still persisted on his journey.

”Father, mother, why don't we take a break?” Mo Xiaoyan was afraid that if they continued to walk like this, the bodies of Lady Li and Mo Dalin would not be able to take it.

”Xiaoyan, are you tired?” Lady Li felt that she could still persevere on her journey for a while.

”I'm not too tired. I'm just afraid that you and dad might be tired.” Mo Xiaoyan said with a light smile.

”Xiaoyan, I'm not tired, let's continue walking, we'll rest after a while.” Mo Dalin felt that he shouldn't waste anymore time, it would be noon soon, and it wouldn't be too late to rest until then.

When noon arrived, they found a slightly flat area halfway up the mountain. They sat and rested for a while before they drank some water.

If he didn't have the bag, he would have walked faster with his bare hands. The main reason was that the bag contained dry food and water, as well as some clothes. It was still somewhat heavy, so it was also a burden.

”It doesn't seem that far up there.” Mo Linyu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

”Mm, it's not too far. We should arrive in about half an hour.” Ji Xun was already extremely familiar with this road.

Hearing this, Mo Xiaoyan felt that she had walked out of the valley much faster than when she had left with Ji Xun. There were still an hour and a half left before she would be able to leave, which meant she would be able to leave in three hours.

”Big Brother Ji Xun, then won't you be returning in the dark this afternoon?” Mo Xiaoyan thought for a while and said.

”No, I'll probably sleep nearby for the night then. I'll be back tomorrow morning.” Ji Xun grinned.

”Oh, that's good too. I thought you were going to send us up and then go back.” Mo Xiaoyan thoughtfully nodded her head.

”Have you rested? Shall we continue on our way?” Lady Li stood up and said.

”Alright, let's go.” Mo Dalin also stood up.

The higher he went, the steeper the road became. When he went up, he would have to pull on some vines to prevent himself from falling.
