After talking about the matter, Zhang Jinyue was ready to go back.

Ever since she saw that fleeting figure, she had been a little uneasy, and her right eyelid had been twitching today, which seemed to indicate that something bad was going to happen.

After returning to the village, she hesitated, but finally went to Gu's house.

I haven't visited Aunt Gu at Gu's house for several days. I happened to get back early today, so I went over to have a look.

The Gu family was quiet. Zhang Jinyue stood outside the door and called several times but got no response. She was a little confused and wondered, did Aunt Gu go out for something?

Just as she was about to go back, Aunt Liu saw her and said, "Sister Yue is here to see Gu Yuncheng?"

Zhang Jinyue paused and said, "Is Brother Yuncheng back?"

"I just came back and went up the mountain." Aunt Liu said.

Zhang Jinyue frowned when she heard this. The flashing figure was indeed not her imagination. Why was the good Gu Yuncheng back?

Didn't she tell him to stay in the academy during this period?

Zhang Jinyue didn't listen to what Aunt Liu said later. She hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Liu and went up the mountain.

As she walked, she thought about it. Gu Yuncheng ran up the mountain as soon as he came back. This was a bit unusual, unless there was some reason why he had to go.

What could it be?

Zhang Jinyue suddenly remembered that she didn't see Gu's mother when she just went to Gu's house. If it was related to Gu's mother, it would make sense. It seemed that something happened to Gu's mother on the mountain, so Gu Yuncheng hurried back.

I searched several places where people in the village often go, but I didn't see anyone. If I went up further, I would enter the mountains.

Zhang Jinyue thought for a while and decided to look up. With her current strength level, there would basically not be too much danger entering the mountain. If she couldn't defeat her, could she still run away?

After climbing up for a while, she came to the place where Ye Yunqin plotted against her last time, and faintly heard the howling of wolves again.

I haven't seen anyone after searching for so long. Could it be that I have gone back?

The sky was getting dark, and Zhang Jinyue didn't plan to stay on the mountain any longer. If he couldn't find anyone, he planned to turn back and go down the mountain.

Then she heard a "bang", which was the gun she gave to Gu Yuncheng.

It seems they are in trouble, Zhang Jinyue thought, took out a big hammer from the system space, and walked forward cautiously.

The sound was getting closer. The gunfire came from the tree, and under the tree, there were five or six wolves surrounding it.

Zhang Jinyue didn't dare to make a sound for fear of being discovered.

Zhang Jinyue: 444, come out.

[444: Host, 444 is at your service. 】

Zhang Jinyue: Do you have a shotgun? Please support me.

[444: Dear host, the mall has it, but your current points are 0. 】

Zhang Jinyue opened the mall and took a look. The price was 10 points, but there was only one bullet. Each bullet cost three points.

Zhang Jinyue: ...Borrow it, let’s get it on credit first.

【444: The store does not accept credit, dear. 】

The points Zhang Jinyue borrowed last time were never paid back, and they were evened out through forced bargaining.

Zhang Jinyue:......

Unlucky seems to have become smarter and is not easy to be deceived.

Zhang Jinyue observed patiently and soon discovered that one wolf in the pack was particularly strong and larger than the other wolves, and the other wolves were vaguely respected by the wolf in the middle.

But that wolf was injured now, and the other wolves surrounded the middle wolf with no chance, so Zhang Jinyue had to calm down and wait.

She knew in her heart that it must be the wolf. To capture the thief, capture the king first, and the same goes for dealing with wolves.

She glanced towards the tree and met Gu Yuncheng's gaze. She smiled, but Gu Yuncheng's face turned ugly.

The lips wriggled slightly, and the mouth shape was "Hurry up!"

Zhang Jinyue withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the wolves not far away. At this moment, the movement on the tree attracted the attention of the wolves.

They left the alpha wolf and gathered under the tree, shouting "Aow~Aow~". With Gu Yuncheng's cover, she carefully touched the side of the alpha wolf, then suddenly picked up the hammer and hit the alpha wolf who was licking his wounds.

The alpha wolf was knocked out and fell in front of the pack of wolves, motionless.

The other wolves stopped howling when they saw this, and came forward to sniff, as if to determine whether the first wolf was alive or dead.

Zhang Jinyue came out with a hammer and deliberately smashed the hammer on the ground, making a loud noise. The sound scared the wolves and took a step back.

She stepped forward, and the wolves continued to retreat.

The two sides faced off for a long time, and finally the wolves left in despair.

Zhang Jinyue did not relax his vigilance, and took a few steps forward to observe carefully before calling the people in the tree to come down.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yuncheng asked.

"If I didn't come, how would you go back?" Zhang Jinyue asked after hearing this.

If you encounter a pack of wolves in the wild, you can climb a tree to temporarily avoid danger, but a smarter alpha wolf will surround you under the tree for seven days and starve you to death.

"Sister Yue, it's all thanks to you this time." Gu's mother said, her heart was still beating "thumping". When she was hunted by wolves, she really thought she was going to die on the mountain.

"Stop talking about this, aunt, why did you come to the mountains?" Zhang Jinyue asked.

She had been telling Gu Yuncheng a lot these days not to go up the mountain because she was worried that something might happen to him. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yuncheng was worried about something happening to Gu's mother, she would have scolded him.

"Well, it was Second Sister-in-law Zhao who told me that you were kicked out by your stepmother. I saw you going up the mountain crying. I believed her and came up to find you." Mother Gu sighed as she spoke.

"Second Sister-in-law Zhao?" Zhang Jinyue searched in his mind and couldn't find this person. It was probably because the original owner was not familiar with her.

"It's getting late. Let's go down the mountain first and talk about other things when we get back." Gu Yuncheng said.

Zhang Jinyue nodded, Zhang Jinyue took the lead, and behind Gu Yuncheng, several people carefully descended the mountain.

At the village chief's house, Zhang Jinxiu felt happy when she heard that Zhang Jinyue had also gone up the mountain. Several people had not come back yet.

She originally only wanted to let Gu Yuncheng die, but she didn't expect Zhang Jinyue to seek death on his own. Buy one get one free, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"Aunt Zhao, you did a good job in this matter." Zhang Jinxiu said.

She took out a piece of broken silver from her dressing box and handed it to Aunt Zhao, "This is your reward. Keep this matter to yourself. If you dare to go out..."

"Don't worry." Second Aunt Zhao took the silver and bit it with her teeth, with a smile on her face. "I will definitely not tell anyone about this."

Zhang Jinxiu nodded, "That's good, you can go."

"Hey, I'll leave first. If something like this happens again next time, please come find me, Sister Xiu." After saying that, he took the money and went home happily.

The sky turned dark, and you could only vaguely see the five fingers. The heat of the day had dissipated, and it was still a little cool in the evening. Aunt Zhao was walking on the road and happened to meet a few people coming down from the mountain. She was suddenly shocked and shouted: " What a ghost!" and fainted.
