Seeing this, Yan Shimin frowned and said, "Zhang Lang, even if the Taohuatan master in your mouth died here, but... if no one buryed her, how could her bones still be underground? She would have been taken away by the wild beast!"

Even though I knew what Yan Shimin was right, I still couldn't help but dig it on the ground with the Linglong knife.

I gritted my teeth and said, "No, if Ling'er died here, then she would definitely be here... If she hadn't had her bones, maybe she would still be alive..."

I don’t know why I had such a big reaction. Maybe I was too concerned about Tuoba Ling’s life and death during this period, right?

But to my surprise, Han Yue didn't say a word this time, silently squatted beside me, took out a handful of bǐ     shou and dug it up with me.

I cast a grateful look to her.

Yan Shimin was helpless, but began to look around, as if he was worried about some danger.

About ten minutes later, Han Yue and I dug a pit that was nearly one meter long, but there was still no trace of bones underground. However, many earthworms were dug out of the wet ground.

Han Yue sighed: "Uncle, it seems that Uncle Yan is right. Maybe... she is not here. I just saw her fall down, but I didn't see her dead!"

I also knew that it was my emotions a little excited, and I sat on the ground limply, gasping heavily, without saying a word.

Yan Shimin looked up and said, "Zhang Lang, we can't continue to stay here and waste time. If you want to find Taohuatan, we can look for a few more times... Even if we go around a few times, it doesn't matter, but if we continue to waste time, it will be troublesome here when it gets dark..."

Han Yue also said with some fear: "Uncle, I also think the forest is gloomy... Otherwise, let's leave here, right? It seems that I really can't find Taohuatan..."

Before I came here, I thought that Qin Changqing and the others had taken the wrong path, or because of some other reason, they did not find Taohuatan. I had great hope and felt that I would definitely find it.

But after two rounds, I knew I was wrong, and the development of the matter was indeed a bit unexpected.

I nodded, stood up from the ground, and said, "Let's keep looking and keep moving forward. If I can't find it, I can only leave..."

My tone contains a lot of helplessness and bitterness. God knows how guilty I feel towards Tuoba Ling now.

So, the three of us didn't say a word, I walked in front, Han Yue followed me, but Yan Shimin kept walking behind, holding a musket.

When I turned around accidentally, I saw Yan Shimin's eyes a little vigilant.

I asked Yan Shimin: "Brother Yan, do you think something is wrong around you? I see you are always tense!"

Yan Shimin's cheeks bulged and shook his head: "It's okay, keep going..."

Yan Shimin didn't want to say that I probably didn't want Han Yue and I to worry about anything, but I became alert.

While walking, I remembered what Han Yue said about Tuoba Ling.

"Ming Dangyang, I blamed you wrong..."

"I can only accompany you in this way..."

What did she blame Ming Dangyang for wrongly?

Is she referring to Ming Dangyang that he had no malice in taking Liu Linglong and Cen Haoyue away?

But if this is the case, how did Tuoba Ling know?

Be with you in this way?

What kind of way?

Because I don’t know what happened to Tuoba Ling at that time, so... I naturally cannot speculate on the meaning of Tuoba Ling’s words.

When we were about to reach the entrance again, I stopped again.

I turned around and sighed to Han Yue: "If we go out this time or go back to the same place... let's go back first!"

Han Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, what I am worried about now is, can we still go back?"

I smiled and said, "Of course..."

I turned around, looked serious, and slowly walked out toward the exit of the forest.

One step, two steps...ten steps...

When I finally arrived at the exit of the forest, I was already excited and shouted: "Finally found it!"

Han Yue and Yan Shimin also walked out quickly.

When they also saw the river in front of them, both of them looked happy.

Han Yue asked me in surprise: "Uncle, is this the entrance to Taohuatan?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, we entered here at that time...but... there was no raft!"

Yes, this is a problem. The last time Moxika led the way, and there were rafts on both sides of the river long ago... But this time...

Damn, we can't make another raft, right?

There are only three of us, which is a lot of trouble.tqr1

Seeing that I suddenly had a sad look on my face, Han Yue asked me: "Uncle, I have found the entrance to Taohuatan, why do you still look worried?"

I frowned and said, "I know...but it will take some time to get in from here. Without a raft, we can't swim in, right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Yan Shimin raised the corner of his mouth: "Who said there was no... Look, what is that?"

Yan Shimin freed up a hand to point at the river not far away.

I looked out in the direction Yan Shimin pointed out, and suddenly I saw a boy about eleven or twelve years old paddling a raft slowly towards the shore on our side.

I saw that the boy had a dark complexion, but he wore a white vest and brown shorts in the cold winter. His muscles on his limbs were very strong. The boy had a firm face, but his appearance looked like a cowherd from a rural area.

On the raft, I saw a basket, and I didn’t know whether it was used to collect herbs or to hold fish.

The boy also noticed someone here and took a leap towards us.

Han Yue smiled and said, "It's great, he doesn't seem to be malicious..."

But I smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of malicious intentions can a child have?"

Not long after, the boy arrived at the shore on a raft.

Before we could speak, the boy put down the bamboo pole in his hand, put his waist on his back and asked us, "Where did you come from?"

Han Yue said: "Little brat, are you... coming out of Taohuatan?"

The young man said in surprise: "How do you know Taohuatan? Grandpa said that people outside cannot know Taohuatan..."

Judging from the tone of this child, it is obvious that he is from Taohuatan, and he may be the child of a villager's family in Taohuatan!

I was a little excited. As Qin Ke said, others can’t find Taohuatan, can’t I, Zhang Lang?
