Chapter 214: Are there wolves in Wild Wolf Ridge?
They would not tolerate any resistance to Su Rou's tone.
When she and Gong Yu packed up and prepared to leave, they and their families were standing at the door of the inn.
Su Rou waved at them with a smile, then rode away on her camel.
Su Rou glanced at Gong Yu. He shouldn't do anything else for the rest of the journey, right?
Su Rou kept up with Gong Yu's speed and asked, "Are there any wolves in Wild Wolf Ridge?"
Gong Yu said, "There were some a few years ago, but they were later domesticated by people living in the desert. Now it's hard to see one."
Su Rou looked at him. She thought it was more like keeping him in captivity than domesticating him.
The people of the desert have an extraordinary talent for taming animals.
Although there was no longer the sandstorm outside that left people no time to breathe like in the past few days, the sky was still gray and the sand seemed to have flown into the sky and covered it.
Su Rou looked at the road ahead and her heart sank. Big brother must hold on.
Wild Wolf Ridge is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. After they set foot on the territory of Wild Wolf Ridge, the sand under their feet turned into grass.
Su Rou was stunned. This place... didn't look like a good place to let anyone fend for themselves.
Su Rou said, "Where's the innkeeper? Bring him here? Don't tell me that Kong tricked me into coming here!"
If the desert people wanted to kill my brother, they could just leave him in the desert. Why would they go to all that trouble to bring him here?
The innkeeper followed them all the way here. He looked pale and untidy, and did not look as energetic as when he first entered the desert.
Su Rou fell off the camel and asked, "Are you sure my elder brother was thrown here?"
Before coming here, Su Rou imagined what kind of harsh environment her elder brother Su Chong would be thrown into by the desert people.
If it were here, my brother would only have one breath left as long as he wasn't dead. If it were her, she would be able to survive in this place too!
The innkeeper opened his mouth.
"Ouch~"
Before they could say anything, a wolf howl interrupted their conversation.
Su Rou was startled and looked at Gong Yu with a frown, "Didn't they say there are no wolves in this place?"
Gong Yu said, "I'm just saying it's hard to see one. This place is so big, it's inevitable that some will be missed."
Su Rou gritted her teeth. She actually felt relieved when Gong Yu said these words!
If she believes Gong Yu again in the future, she will be a dog!
Su Rou said, "Scatter out and look for my big brother. I want to see his body, even if he's dead! Even if he's been gnawed by wolves and only his bones are left, I want to see his remains."
My eldest brother has fought many battles on the battlefield. If he were still alive, where would he hide?
Gong Yu followed from behind, "I'll tell the others to come over, I'll go with you."
Su Rou said, "What did you order?"
Gong Yu said, "We all brought some food with us. Regardless of whether we found it or not, we will all return to where we were in three days and reunite."
Su Rou's heart sank.
She didn't say anything and followed Gong Yu to search nearby.
Gong Yu asked, "If you were General Su, what would you do?"
Su Rou said, "I should find a hiding place near a water source, but I'm not sure if my brother has been seriously injured by the desert people..."
It is understandable that the people of the desert would throw my brother to this remote place if he was to be injured in a vital part.
They may not even have the intention of returning the eldest brother's body to the North Country.
Su Rou sighed...
