Realizing this, and seeing the empty cave, Xia Yanbai Yinyu's brows furrowed even more. He sighed softly, then said to Xia Yan:
“Although we have no food, we have no choice but to hide here. But you know our situation. Not only are we running out of food, but it’s also extremely cold here. We can manage during the day, but the temperature keeps dropping at night. We can’t hold out here for more than a few days. We need to think of a way to make it work.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but at the same time, he was also very clear in his heart that they were now trapped. Realizing this, he sighed softly, glanced around, and a trace of helplessness crossed his eyes.
However, they were also very clear in their hearts that they could only hide in this place now, while Lord Long's men were still down the mountain.
Because Long Ye's men weren't very familiar with this place, and moreover, they had just fallen into that deep cave and it took a lot of effort to rescue everyone, so they didn't dare to make any rash moves now.
In addition, they had already made all the preparations, so they waited patiently for Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing to come out. They knew very well that Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan would not last more than a few days. As long as they could endure it, they would be able to live. After realizing this, a confident smile flashed in everyone's eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were in a very difficult situation. They had run out of food and were extremely hungry. Furthermore, the temperature was dropping, and they were feeling very cold.
Both of them were shivering uncontrollably, so they had to huddle back to back for warmth. Not only that, Xia Yan also felt sleepy, and his eyelids kept drooping...
Although Xia Yan knew in his heart that he shouldn't sleep, he was torn between being very hungry and wanting to sleep. Realizing this, he gradually lost control. Seeing this, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing beside him, had a look of worry in his eyes and hurriedly said to Xia Yan:
"Xia Yan, wake up, wake up! You can't sleep now. If you fall asleep now, you definitely won't be able to wake up later. Besides, Master Long's men are still outside. We might be discovered at any time. You must stay highly vigilant and wake up quickly. Don't fall asleep."
After hearing these words, Xia Yan slowly regained his senses. He forced himself to stay alert at all times, but drowsiness kept lingering around him, leaving him helpless. Realizing this, he could only clench his hands tightly, letting the pain stimulate his wakefulness.
Seeing this scene, Shirogane Miyuki felt a pang of pity, but he was also well aware that both of them were in grave danger, so he had to stay calm.
Chapter 291 Going down the mountain
Meanwhile, just as the two were in dire straits, Lord Long had already sent his men to search the area several times.
Even so, they still couldn't find Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko's whereabouts. Realizing this, a hint of anger flashed in Long Ye's eyes, because in his opinion, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were just two people, and none of them had found their whereabouts. Realizing this, he looked at his men, and the anger in his eyes slowly deepened. He then kicked all of them to the ground.
Long Ye's men dared not speak out, since Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan had escaped from his clutches, so they could only endure it. However, they looked at the sky in the distance and realized that it was indeed getting late at 04. Moreover, they had searched the area several times but still could not find Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan.
A hint of sadness flashed in everyone's eyes. At the same time, they were well aware that this was not a place for them to stay for long. Although it was a mountain forest, there were still many wild animals at night, and it wouldn't be good if something happened. Realizing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of Long Ye's men. Long Ye, who was standing to the side, naturally saw their thoughts, snorted coldly at them, and then said:
"Alright, since we haven't found those two people here, let's go back for today. But remember this well: if you find any clues, search again immediately. If those two escape again, you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing these words, the panic in everyone's eyes deepened. However, what made them happy was that they could leave before dark. So, Lord Long led his men back in a grand procession. Bai Yin Yuxing had been observing their movements and, seeing that Lord Long's men had all left, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Because he knew very well that after observing Xia Yan, he knew that Xia Yan wouldn't last much longer. Moreover, he had just touched Xia Yan's body and found that his whole body was burning hot. Realizing this, the worry in his eyes deepened. Then, seeing the figure of Master Long leaving with his men slowly disappear from his sight, Bai Yin Yuxing hurriedly took Xia Yan down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Xia Yan was slowly recovering. After regaining consciousness and seeing the scene, a flash of worry crossed his mind. Then, he looked at Shirogane Miyuki beside him and said:
"If we go down the mountain now, will we run into Lord Long's men? If so, our situation will become dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly outside. However, based on his observation, all of Lord Long's men had already left. Realizing this, he shook his head at Xia Yan beside him and said:
"Don't worry, I've already checked. Master Long's men have already left. But for safety's sake, we can't go back to that village. The people there must have already become suspicious of us."
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but then both of their stomachs growled. They exchanged a glance.
Chapter 292 Looking for Food
Their expressions became awkward, but they were both really hungry.
Moreover, the food they had prepared was long gone. Realizing this, the two knew that their most urgent task after descending the mountain was to start looking for food.
Realizing this, the two supported each other as they descended the mountain. Halfway down, Xia Yan vaguely saw a few houses. Realizing this, a flash of joy crossed his eyes, and he hurriedly said to Shirogane Miyuki beside him:
"Look, look, isn't someone living over there? Why don't we go check it out? We've been down the mountain for so long now, Dragon Lord's men definitely won't find us anytime soon."
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki looked in the direction Natsuhiko had pointed and saw that there were indeed many houses there. Realizing this, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. So the two of them walked towards that village.
When they first arrived in the village, the villagers looked at them with strange eyes, because their village was very remote and not many people came here.
So now that Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi have arrived, they are essentially strangers. Xia Yan naturally understands what these people are thinking, so his expression softens further, and he quickly says to the person beside him:
"Hello, hello. We're not bad people. We just got lost in the mountains. We both love to travel, and we heard this mountain area is really nice, so we came here. But we got lost halfway, and all our things fell off the cliff. That's why we came to your village. Could you provide us with some food or anything else? Don't worry, we'll pay for it."
After saying this, Xia Yan started looking for his wallet. Luckily, it wasn't missing; there was still some cash inside. Seeing this, the villagers, who had initially been quite hesitant, gradually relented, knowing full well that many tourists usually came to the area.
Moreover, after observing Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki's expressions, they realized they didn't seem like bad people. Having understood this, they approached Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki and said:
"It's alright, it's alright. Everyone has their difficult times. Since you got lost while traveling here and ended up in our village, it's fate. Come with me. We have plenty of food here, although it's not great, it'll fill you up."
After saying this, a smile slowly appeared on Xia Yan's lips. Then, he and Shirogane Yuuki hurriedly expressed their feelings to the villagers in front of them. In this way, in a village, the villagers provided Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuuki with a lot of food.
Just as the villagers said, although the food here wasn't very good, the people here seemed very warm, simple and kind, and provided a lot of food for Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko.
Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with emotion. Of course, he also gave all the money in his wallet to these villagers, who originally refused to accept it, but Xia Yan insisted.
Chapter 293 Temporarily Stable
However, while the two were eating, they still looked the place up and down, because the Dragon Lord's men had also been to their old village and had searched it.
Not only that, they also clearly understood this time that Master Long now knew they were in this mountain forest, so they were now worried that there might be Master Long's men in this village.
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes. Meanwhile, Xia Yan, while eating, spoke to a villager:
"Brother, I'd like to ask, have you ever had 550 people come here before? Have any other people come?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in the villager's eyes, because their area was already very remote and there were hardly any people around.
Realizing this, the villager didn't suspect anything and directly said to Shirogane Miyuki Natsuhiko:
"No, no, our village is too remote. Who would come here normally? You two are lucky to have found this village. Let me tell you, it seems that our village is the only one on this mountainside. You have to walk dozens of miles downhill before you can see another village."
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko exchanged a glance, their worry slowly fading. Their main concern was whether any of the Dragon Lord's men were in the area, and according to this villager, it seemed the Dragon Lord's men hadn't yet found their way here.
Realizing this, the two felt relieved, but at the same time, they were also very clear that they could not leave this place for the time being.
Although Long Ye's men have now left this mountain forest, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko are unsure whether Long Ye has left other people to guard this place. Realizing this, the two of them became wary.
In addition, they had just heard from a villager that the village was very remote, so it was unlikely that Lord Long's men would be able to find them in a short time. After realizing this, the two discussed it with each other and decided to settle down here for the time being.
However, Xia Yan and Bai Yinyu were still very worried about one thing: the safety of Qian Hua and Ram. They knew that when they left, they left a note for them, but they also knew very well that if Lord Long could not find them, he would not let those people go.
Realizing this, after settling down in the village, they didn't waste any more time and began trying to contact Chika Ram. Meanwhile, Chika and Ram were also searching for them on the other side.
Because Chika and Ram are also very worried about the safety of Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi. After all, what Shirogane Yukichi and Xia Yan did was really too much, and Lord Long's men are searching for them everywhere.
In fact, in Chika and Ram's opinion, Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi both have a bit of talent and ambition, but they can hide for a while but not forever when faced with so many people searching for them. So they also want to contact them in advance before Long Ye does.
Realizing this, they naturally sought help from many friends, and Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were also looking for solutions.
Chapter 294 Contact
They contacted Qianhua Ramu, and soon they made contact.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in Chika and Ram's eyes, because they had entrusted these friends with the task for many days, but it was only now that they were slowly making contact. Realizing this, they became even more vigilant.
Because they knew very well that Lord Long's men had approached them before and even kidnapped them, intending to threaten Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki. However, they were clever enough, and with Kaguya's help, they barely managed to escape from Lord Long's clutches.
Long Ye and the others let them go for the time being because they couldn't get any information from them. But even so, Qianhua and Ram are still very wary. So even after they reconnected with Baiyin Yuxing and Xia Yan, they are still on high alert.
They communicated very cautiously among themselves, but at the same time, they were very clear in their hearts that Master Long and his group had already located Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing in the mountains.
This proves that Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko can no longer stay there. Realizing this, Chika glanced at Ram and then said to him:
"Now that we've made contact, it's not safe to stay here any longer. Let's send someone to bring them out as soon as possible."
A hint of agreement flashed in Ram's eyes, and he nodded to Chika. However, at the same time, they remained deeply worried. He pondered for a moment, then spoke to Chika:
"This method is not impossible, but we need to be careful. You know, Master Long's men have been searching for our whereabouts recently. If they find out about this news, then all of us will be in danger."
After saying these words, Ram glanced at Chika, a serious look flashing in her eyes. Chika naturally understood the situation, so she quickly nodded to Ram.
However, since they had already made up their minds, they naturally didn't want to waste any more time, so Chika and Ram hurriedly passed the news on to Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko.
Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko also agreed in their hearts, because they knew very well that even though this village was very remote, just like the previous village, even if it was remote, the Dragon Lord's people would eventually find it.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
Realizing this, they quietly began preparations. Not long after, Chika and Ram asked someone to pick up Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki. They were probably afraid that Lord Long's men would find out, so they were very careful along the way.
..... ..... 0
Furthermore, to avoid implicating the people of that village, they completely concealed their tracks. After these meticulous preparations, they finally entrusted their friends to bring Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki out.
However, at the same time, none of them let their guard down, because on the other side, Master Long's men couldn't find anyone and were extremely annoyed. He glanced at his subordinates beside him, and his anger slowly increased.
Because in Master Long's view, there were only two people, Shirogane Yuki and Xia Yan, but he had so many people under his command, and had spent so much time, money and effort.
Chapter 295 Go back
Having found no clues about these people yet, he sighed softly upon realizing this, but his words were chillingly cold:
"What use are you people to me? They're just two kids, yet they've managed to fool you all. Now that things have come to this, you're no longer needed here. Go find somewhere cool to stay."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of panic flashed in the eyes of these "550" subordinates, because they understood Master Long's temper. Now that Master Long had said this, he would definitely punish them severely.
Realizing this, they hurriedly pleaded with Master Long:
"Master Long, Master Long, please spare us. It's not that we don't want to find them this time, it's just that those two are too cunning. We've searched almost the entire mountaintop, but we still haven't found any trace of them. Why don't we try a different approach this time?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Master Long with anticipation. Master Long's brows furrowed slightly, but at the same time, he was very clear in his heart that they still couldn't find the person. If they couldn't find the person soon, wouldn't his prescription be lost in vain?
Realizing this, he began to consider his subordinate's suggestion. After a moment of contemplation, he contacted many of his friends to help with the search.
Not only that, but Long Ye knew very well that since Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan were now missing, they must still be in contact with Qian Hua and Ram. After realizing this, he remembered the situation when Qian Hua and Ram escaped from his hands before, and he didn't feel sorry for them.
But then he looked very seriously at his men and said to them:
“I haven’t settled the score with you for letting those two little girls escape from your hands last time. But this time, I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourselves. You’re to start keeping an eye on Qianhua and Ram. You must find out who they usually contact and keep a close watch on their every move. If there’s even the slightest mistake, you’ll be sent back to where you came from.”
Upon hearing these words, his subordinates naturally dared not object, so they hurriedly told Lord Long that it was 0... and then went down to begin monitoring Qianhua and Ram.
Meanwhile, although Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko have been brought back by Chika Ram's friends, they have not been in contact with each other for safety reasons, and are only relying on their friends to pass on messages.
However, after a few days, Long Ye and Ram realized that Long Ye had been sending people to monitor them.
Realizing this, their vigilance naturally deepened. At the same time, Chika Ramu secretly informed Xia Yan that they were being monitored.
Upon hearing this news, Xia Yan frowned deeply, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. However, he was also very clear in his heart that since they hadn't found Master Long this time, they wouldn't make a move against Qian Hua and Ram for the time being.
However, he was also very clear in his heart that they could no longer communicate with Qianhua Ram and the others as often. After realizing this, Xia Yan pondered for a moment and then found a place nearby to stay temporarily.
Chapter 296 Arrest
Meanwhile, just as Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko had settled in, Long Ye's men quickly approached Chika and Ram.
Because in Long Ye's heart he knew very well that since Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan had disappeared without a trace, and so much time had passed, he did not believe that Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan would not have been in contact with Qian Hua Ramu.
Although they had been monitoring Chika and Ram, 04 hadn't found anything amiss. This only meant that Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko were being more cautious. Realizing this, Ryu's brows furrowed tightly.
Meanwhile, Long Ye understood perfectly well that Chika and Ram must know about Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing's safety, otherwise they wouldn't be so worried. Realizing this, they didn't care about anything else and quickly went to find Chika and Ram.
Ram and Chika are still very worried about Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki's safety. Even though they know very well that Shirogane Yuki and Xia Yan have been rescued by their friends, they also know that Dragon Lord's men will not let the matter rest so easily.
Realizing this, their worries deepened. Just as they were discussing how to resolve the situation, a group of men in black suddenly burst into their home.
