Gu Tingyu squinted his eyes and carefully identified the firelight in front of him. After a moment, he slowly said: "It seems to be Zhaojiacun."

Zhaojiacun?

Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale. She held the reins tightly and her legs became a little weak.

"Brother Ayu, could the people in Zhaojia Village be from the Zhao family?" Leng Shuang asked with a trembling voice.

Gu Tingyu shook his head: "No, the villagers in Zhaojia Village have all moved away. They have not contacted me for so many years. What's more, I have never seen the person who sent the message over there."

"Who could that be?" Leng Shuang murmured to himself.

Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment and said: "Let's go and take a look first. If it is confirmed that it is not a villager from the Zhao family, we will return the same way. If it is a villager from the Zhao family, we will rescue them."

"Okay." Leng Shuang nodded.

Gu Tingyu rode his horse forward for a few steps, then jumped off the horse, holding Leng Shuang, and ran forward along the river bank.

"Brother Ayu, why are we running this way?"

"Shh!" Gu Tingyu raised his index finger to his lips and said softly, "Listen."

Leng Shuang listened intently: "What?"

Gu Tingyu lowered his head and whispered a few words to her.

Leng Shuang blinked and said in surprise: "Brother Ayu, aren't we at the foot of the mountain now?"

Gu Tingyu said nothing and continued to lead her forward.

After walking for about half a cup of tea, Leng Shuang heard the sound of water hitting the rocks. Following this sound, they walked more and more remote, until finally, they stood next to a stream and looked at the gurgling water.

"Brother Ayu," Leng Shuang was extremely surprised: "How come there is such a beautiful scenery here."

Gu Tingyu's eyes fell on the green grass by the stream, and his eyes gradually darkened: "Xue'er, do you still remember the first time we met, when you were picking flowers on the cliff?"
