Lu Man walked a little slowly.

It was obvious that she had delayed the progress of the three of them.

However, Ye Heng and Qin Ao did not show any signs of impatience. They let her walk in the middle, protecting her as they walked deeper into the mountains.

After walking for a whole day.

It was past nine o’clock in the evening, and the rain seemed to have lessened a little. The three of them were a little exhausted. Until now, they did not seem to see anyone living inside. Moreover, at night, the road ahead was even more difficult to see clearly, even with the military flashlight, it was still difficult to move forward.

“Do you want to rest for a while?”Ye Heng asked.

Lu Man Man shook her head, “Although I have never experienced this personally, I also know that tonight is such a cold day. If we don’t find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we might freeze to death. Also, if the mountain slides again, will it bury us? Let’s go forward and find out if there is anyone living there. At the same time, we can also get some information.”

“Okay.”Ye Heng did not say much.

The rest that he was thinking about was also about her health.

Since she said to continue, he did not need to say anything else.

The three of them walked even slower. The road was slippery, and even though they were wearing hiking shoes, it was still not easy to walk. Lu Man Man did not even dare to look down because it was dark, and she did not know how high the mountain was.

The few of them continued walking forward.

Qin Ao suddenly said, “There seems to be a light ahead.”

The other two quickly raised their heads.

Sure enough, there seemed to be a small house not far ahead. The house was flickering with extremely weak lights. The lights were faintly discernible, and if one did not pay attention, they would not be able to see it at all.

“Let’s go and take a look,”ye Heng said.

The three of them walked straight towards the small house.

The house was made of stone. It was not big, and there were no other houses around it. It looked a little isolated.

Ye Heng went forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened after a long time. A candle light lit up. An old man in his fifties opened the door and looked at them in surprise. “Who are you looking for?”

“Hello, uncle. We’re from Wen City. My Friend is trapped in your village. We just entered the village today to look for someone, but it’s dark now. We Can’t go in, so we wanted to stay here for the night. Don’t worry, we’ll just sleep on the floor. We’ll pay for your accommodation,”ye Heng said in a rare low voice.

The old man looked them up and down for a long time before saying, “Come in. Keep your voices down, my wife and granddaughter are all asleep.”

“Okay.”Ye Heng quickly nodded, giving the other two a look.

After the old man let them in, he closed the door.

The living room was not big, a single candle could light up everything. Lu Man saw an extremely simple room, there was nothing else but a table for eating and a few benches.

The old man placed the candle on the table. “I don’t know if the mudslide has broken the power lines, but the power has been out for a few days.”

Then, he got up and went to another room to pour hot water for them. Then, he said, “It’s cold outside, you can burn your hands and feet first.”

“Thank you, Old Man,”Lu man said. The villagers were much simpler than the average city people.

She couldn’t help but feel touched.

“And the woman.”The old man frowned when he heard Lu Man’s voice. “It’s so dangerous in here. Why did the woman come?”

“I came to find my husband,”Lu man said. “She’s trapped in there. I Can’t rest assured.”
