Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

ugh outline of the mountain.
Even so, she could see how big the mountain was.

Gu Yan had disappeared.
It would be a huge feat to locate him in this mountain.

Should she look for Fu Tingyu first or Gu Yan first?

Qin Shu finished the milk and bread.
She patted the crumbs from her hands and stood up.
She lifted the bag from the ground and looked at Boss.
He had finished eating and was licking his paws.
“Let’s go Boss.
We’ll look for your Master first.”

Boss mea hint of dissatisfaction.

Qin Shu shook her head helplessly.
“Okay, let’s go.
You lead the way.”

Because Boss’ nose was very sensitive, he could smell scents that people could not detect.
He was familiar with Gu Yan and Fu Tingyu, so he could clearly distinguish and identify them.

“Meow.” Boss shook off his langour and took the lead.

Qin Shu also quickened her pace and followed.

She was familiar with the road used as it was the same one that she took when she visited previously.
There were also memories of her and Han Xiao on the mountain.

She and Boss walked on the mountain for a whole day.
They ate in the afternoon and didn’t find Fu Tingyu even till evening.

They could only set up a tent in the mountain rest for a night and continue searching next day.

The next morning, after breakfast, she and Boss continued their search.

When they were halfway up the mountain, Qin Shu saw a figure wrapped in a cotton jacket with white speckled hair behind a tree.
It was an old navy blue jacket.
He looked familiar from the side.

She walked over curiously.
The closer she got, the more he looked like the old grandpa she met last time.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the old Grandpa put up a hand to silence her.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She stood there and watched the old man pounce forward suddenly.
His whole body was hidden in the grass as if he was catching a rabbit.
However, he definitely wouldn’t be able to catch one like this.

“Finally found a mountain ginseng.
It can be sold for a lot of money.” The old man stood up with a smile.
He held the ginseng in his hand.
It was quite big and had fresh soil on its roots.

His eyes were smiling and had a twinkle to them.
He walked to Qin Shu with the ginseng and asked her, “You also entered the mountain?”

“Yes, it’s such a coincidence to meet you.” Qin Shu replied.

“I’ve been here for a few days.
Didn’t you come in last time?” The old man asked as he put the ginseng into the cloth bag on his back.

“I came in this time to look for someone.” said Qin Shu as she glanced at the cloth bag.
There were a lot of things in it.
It should be all medicine that he picked from the mountain this time round.

“What a coincidence! I met a group of people yesterday.
They were also looking for people.” The old man still had a smile on his face.

There was some surprise on Qin Shu’s nervous face.
“You saw them? Do you know how many people there are?”

“The four of them were headed south.
If you want to find them, you won’t be able to catch up to them today,” the old man said.

Qin Shu also knew that it would be difficult to catch up to them.
She was two days late afterall.

“It’s okay.
I’ll take two more days.”

The old man looked at the pitch-black cat beside Qin Shu, especially its dark green eyes.
They were the color of emeralds, so deep that one couldn’t see the bottom.
“Your cat is quite special.”

“It’s just a pet cat.” Qin Shu looked down at Boss.
She didn’t want others to know that Boss was different from ordinary cats.

The old man stared at Boss for a long time before he retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Shu with a smile.
“I have a medicinal herb here.
Do you want it? If you want it, I’ll sell it to you.”

“What kind of medicinal herb?” Qin Shu looked at the old man doubtfully.
She felt that he’s habouring ill intentions.
