Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Wounded (1)_1

Mo Yan’s heart was ablaze with urgency, and though the carriage was already moving fast, she felt it was excruciatingly slow and kept urging the coachman to go faster.

Finally arriving at Liu Yang Village, Mo Yan couldn’t wait any longer and rushed out of the carriage, heading straight for the construction site.

Mo Qingze was waiting at the construction site for Mo Yan and hastened to greet her as he saw her approaching, "Yanyan, you’re finally here. Yuhua Mountain is so vast, and without a direction, we don’t even know where to start looking! The last time you took Little Flower into Yuhua Mountain, where do you think it might go?"

"Dad, I can’t be sure of that either, but are you certain it went into the mountains yesterday?"

Seeing her father more anxious than herself, Mo Yan suppressed her own anxiety and asked. Even though she often complained about that thing being gluttonous and dumb, it was just her saying things. Deep down, she had already regarded it as an important little companion, and now that Little Flower had disappeared, she was really worried something might happen to it.

"It did go into the mountain! It didn’t return yesterday evening, so Dad went to look for it, and someone saw it on the mountain. It’s just that Dad and the villagers didn’t find it when we searched the mountain," Mo Qingze said, his heart full of urgency.

Mo Yan thought for a moment then asked, "Has Little Flower been acting strangely these past few days?" She knew it was playful, but it wouldn’t forget to return home after playing; she just feared the worst.

Mo Qingze thought carefully and finally shook his head, "The same as usual, going out in the morning and coming back in the evening. Recently, it hasn’t brought back any wild prey, and its appetite has been good, eating the chicken you had sent over, and it could even eat another small bowl of soup and rice."

Mo Yan frowned. She knew how picky Little Flower was about its food; it wouldn’t even glance at the meals cooked at home, but now it was willing to eat, which was quite abnormal.

"Dad, I’m going to search the mountain now; I’ll definitely return before nightfall," Mo Yan said before walking towards the mountain.

Mo Qingze wouldn’t feel at ease letting her go alone and insisted on accompanying her. Unable to refuse him, Mo Yan reluctantly agreed.

As the construction site couldn’t be left unattended, Mo Qingze asked Lizhong to keep an eye on it. Worried that the father and daughter might encounter wild animals, Lizhong gave them a couple of iron shovels.

Mo Yan followed the path they had taken the last time they went into the mountain, calling out for Little Flower as she went. But in the silent forest, aside from startled birds, only her voice echoed.

Mo Qingze also called out as they walked but seeing the underbrush becoming denser without a sign of Little Flower, his anxiety grew.

Little Flower was smart and well-behaved; he adored it so much. Moreover, it was the one that had found Yanyan in the past. Now that it was missing, he was genuinely worried that something might have happened to it. If they couldn’t find it, how would he explain it to its owner?

Mo Yan was also anxious. Although the forest was vast, their echoing voices should carry far and wide. But it had already been two hours since they started looking, and Little Flower hadn’t come following the sound. It couldn’t have gone very far, which meant it must have met with an accident.

"Yanyan, you don’t think anything happened to Little Flower, do you?" Mo Qingze had clearly come to the same conclusion and stopped to ask Mo Yan.

Mo Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead and caught her breath before shaking her head, "No matter what, we have to find it."

Mo Qingze looked at the boundless forest and sighed.

After resting briefly, they resumed their search. When they reached the spot where they had encountered the wolf before, Mo Yan suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong?" Mo Qingze asked, perplexed.

Mo Yan put her index finger to her lips, gesturing ’shush’, and listened carefully. She indeed heard unusual sounds from afar.

Her heart leaped with joy, and she excitedly said, "Dad, there are sounds of many birds being startled far ahead; it must be Little Flower hearing our voices and coming towards us."
