"There are footprints on the ground. The little girl must have stopped here." One of them noticed the footprints and laughed: "Look, the footprints are heading towards the road on the left. It seems that the little girl really ran back."
"Hahahaha, she is smart! She is really just a child. She didn't even erase the footprints and left us a trace. Let's go! Let's catch up and meet this little girl. It's been a long time since we met such a fun little girl." Shen Shiqi laughed and chased to the left.
At this time, Yue'er was indeed on the road on the left, but she did not run wildly on this road. Instead, she found a secluded place and hid herself, concealing her breath, while watching in the dark to see if those people were chasing her from this road.
After a long while, when she saw those people talking and laughing as they ran along the mountain path and chased after them, a smile couldn't help but fill her eyes, and her face was smiling slyly like a little fox.
She lay there quietly without moving, waiting until the figures of those people disappeared, then she quickly stood up, turned back, returned to the fork in the road and headed straight ahead.
She had to be the first one to return to the mountain before her two brothers, so she naturally couldn't choose the road that took too much time. So she could only deceive them first and then turn back. As long as they passed this road and reached the town ahead, the main road would split and it would be difficult for them to catch up with her again.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, because if they didn't see her after chasing her for a long distance, they might react.
Here, Yue'er's heart was beating fast, and she was running for her life in a state of nervousness and excitement.
On the other side, after Mu Chen came out of the forest, he also walked along the mountain road. Relatively speaking, he didn't meet anyone during this period, let alone encounter any troubles. In addition, he was usually a quiet person, so he didn't feel anything if he didn't speak for ten days or half a month.
Their master dropped them here. Even if they came out of the forest, the three of them would take different routes back. Therefore, there would be no possibility of them meeting on the road.
On the way, he walked with the steps his mother taught him, and after walking for a while without people, he saw people one after another. Some of them were independent cultivators, walking on swords, or riding contracted beasts, and some were traveling in flying vehicles.
Some of them even sat in spirit beast carriages, accompanied by guards and servants, and looked like people from a large family traveling.
It was getting dark, and the people in the spirit beast convoy stopped to rest, so he also rested not far from them. At least, following the spirit beast convoy, he would not encounter any danger.
In the spirit beast carriage that stopped to rest, the curtain was lifted by a pair of slender hands. A beautiful woman dressed as a woman looked at the darkening sky outside. When she was about to lower the curtain, she caught a glimpse of a small figure behind the spirit beast.
A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. She leaned towards the car window and looked back. When she saw that it was just a little child, she was slightly stunned.
"Give these cakes to the child." The beautiful woman's gentle voice came out, and at the same time, a plate of exquisite cakes was handed to the maid serving beside her.
