Chapter 125 Not Found

Everyone was shocked and drew their swords, ready to fight the enemy.

Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you are here to find me, to find me, hehe, to find me."

The general nodded and raised his hand to signal his men to put away their swords.

She hurried forward and saw the old man's face as black as the bottom of a pot. She had never seen him like this before, and she felt guilty. She made him angry enough and whispered, "Master, you are here?"

The old man's chest was heaving with anger. He started to scold her as soon as he caught her. "Do you know how fast I rode all the way here? I couldn't catch up with you even at such a fast speed. How can you be so capable? You left me and ran away without saying a word. What's wrong? Did I stop you from looking for someone? Or do you think I walk too slowly?"

"Do you know how worried I am? I'm afraid you'll be robbed by bandits on the road, or that you'll faint from hunger and exhaustion and be dragged away and eaten by wolves and tigers. I've been worrying about this for so long. I'm afraid my life span will be shortened. I don't know how many years I'll live less and how many delicious meals I'll have to eat less. But you're so lucky, following them... Hey, who are these people? How did you meet them?" He looked up and saw this well-equipped army.

Zhou Guo said: "Ah, that..." She opened her mouth and found that she didn't know how she met these people. She remembered that she fainted yesterday, and then... she didn't know anything. When she woke up, she came here.

The old man blew his beard and stared angrily.

The young man in his twenties said with a smile, "Old man, is this your apprentice? Is he angry with you? You are so old, you should be more considerate of him. He is still so young, you don't know that we found him in the grass beside the road last night. He was unconscious and couldn't be called. The wounds on his body were all torn and bleeding a lot. If we hadn't arrived, I'm afraid the child would have died."

The old man immediately put away the expression on his face and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.

The young man waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't thank me for this. It was our general who found this man, and it was he who decided to rescue your little apprentice. If you want to thank someone, thank our general instead."

The old man turned around and bowed to the general, pressing Zhou Guo who was standing beside him and bending over. "What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank the general for saving your life?"

Zhou Guo thanked him again while his head was pressed.

The general nodded and said to Zhou Guo: "Your master is right. This world is not safe. Bandits are everywhere. Don't go out alone next time."

Zhou Guo nodded, "Yes, I hope everything goes well for you, General."

The general nodded and rode away with his men.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves immediately stirred up clouds of dust, which gradually faded away and disappeared from Zhou Guo's sight.

The old man looked her up and down. Although he didn't look happy, he still asked with concern: "How is the wound?"

As he spoke, he recalled the sadness he had felt along the way and complained, "You, why are you so stubborn? I don't know what you were thinking about all day. You just ran away in a flash. I don't know how fast you ran. I'm afraid the horse's hooves were flying. I chased you all the way, but I couldn't catch up. I..."

"Master, I'm hungry." Zhou Guo covered her stomach and said pitifully. She hadn't eaten for several meals.

The old man glared at her fiercely, but he couldn't bear it after all. He rummaged in the bag on the horse's back and took out a roasted rabbit. "Here."

Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, he picked up the rabbit and started to eat it. After a few bites, he found that his master had no food to eat. Just as he was about to pass it to him, he saw his master took out another rabbit from his bag and started to eat it with relish.

The master and disciple ate the roasted rabbit while riding on their horses.

After she finished eating the rabbit, she touched her stomach and found that she was obviously not full. Then she watched the old man take out another rabbit from his bag and threw it to her.

"You...Master, how many rabbits are in your bag?" she asked curiously, involuntarily stretching her neck to look over there.

The old man snorted and said angrily, "Why do you care about me? I shouldn't have given you food. You'll know after starving for a few days. And you dared to run away when I went into the woods to hunt. If you do it again next time, I won't want your leg anymore. I'll break it for you."

Zhou Guo lowered his head and ate the meat, not daring to say a word. Tears kept falling from his eyes as he ate. Finally, he couldn't eat any more meat. It felt like a huge rock was blocking his chest, making it hard to breathe.

"You, oh, why are you crying? Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Your teacher is also worried about you. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you. How can I explain to your family, right? Stop crying. If you keep crying, you won't be able to eat the meat." The old man glanced at her crying and started to coax her in a panic. He regretted it very much in his heart. Why did he accept a female disciple? It's really not easy to raise a daughter. If it was a boy, he would have slapped him a few times. He didn't do this. He had to coax her after being scolded.

This child has never been like this before. He never cried even after suffering such a serious injury.

She choked up and shook her head repeatedly. After a long while, she wiped her tears and whispered, "Master, I didn't find Zhou Su. I ran so far in one breath and searched for a whole day and night but found nothing. Where do you think he could have gone?"

The old man sighed and said after a while, "Child, listen to me. It's not suitable for you to look for him now. If you keep going like this, your injuries will never heal and you will have chronic diseases in the future. Go back with your master and wait until your life is stable before you come out to look for him. Besides, the little guy is more than four years old. He is very smart and lovable. He can turn danger into safety. He might find his way back by himself. If you are exhausted, who can you count on to find Zhou Su?"

Zhou Guo listened and understood. That was true. The younger uncle was the pillar of the family and he definitely couldn't leave. The older brother couldn't leave either as he didn't have good martial arts skills and couldn't go out alone. The mother was even worse. After all, he really had to rely on her.

She wiped away her tears and started eating meat in big mouthfuls. She must take good care of her body and learn martial arts well. She would find Zhou Su even if she had to go to the ends of the earth.

After they had their meal, they mounted their horses and started their return journey.

When she came out, she said that no matter whether she could find it or not, she would catch up in three days. It was already the third day, and for fear that they would worry, the two of them did not dare to delay on the road and even ate their meals immediately.

It was already the fifth day when the two of them followed the marks left by Zhou Dacang.

Everyone in the family was extremely anxious. Not only had they failed to find the younger one, but now the older one was lost. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return safe and sound.
