Zhao Yun put the items Su Jiu had given him into his personal backpack and had Chi Yang open a wormhole to Liangshan Base.
Li Qi had just finished chatting with Su Jiu. Thinking it would still be a while before the delivery arrived, she received a call saying someone had brought the items to the entrance of the aboveground base.
The moment Li Qi received the call, she hurried out of her office and headed to the aboveground base's conference room.
After sitting in the conference room for a while, Zhao Yun grew restless. He ran to where the soldiers were training and asked an officer for tools to use for hunting later.
When Li Qi arrived at the conference room and found no one there, she called to ask where the person who had just arrived had gone. The officer truthfully reported what had happened.
Li Qi hurried to the training grounds and saw Zhao Yun firing arrows with a whoosh, whoosh, having the time of his life. She ran up to him, rolled her eyes, and said, "Zhao Yun, could you stop running around everywhere? It's exhausting, okay?"
Zhao Yun fired another two arrows with a whoosh, whoosh, then said, "You're just too slow, okay?"
With no other choice, Li Qi took Zhao Yun to the underground base. After putting the items away, Zhao Yun handed her an instruction manual and said, "Read it yourself. I'm leaving."
After delivering the items, Zhao Yun left Liangshan Base and went hunting in the mountains.
"My name is Ouyang Nasa. I was born mute, a child abandoned by my father and mother since I was little. Because I was mute, many people looked down on me and didn't want to be my friend. But I loved the guzheng. Whenever I was unhappy, I liked to play it."
"Perhaps today was my lucky day. While I was having my guzheng repaired on the street, I saw aliens. They slaughtered innocent people indiscriminately. I saw a laser shoot toward me, and I thought my life was about to end. When I closed my eyes and waited for death, a voice rang out beside my ear: 'Why aren't you leaving yet?'"
"At the time, I saw that person's back. He looked like an ancient general. Though I only caught a fleeting glimpse of him, I remembered him and thought we would never meet again."
"Unexpectedly, I saw a spear stuck in the middle of an intersection. I knew it was that general's weapon, so I ran over. At that moment, a moon-shaped weapon appeared behind him. Against the setting sun, I watched in fascination. But I still took several photos with my phone."
"Today marked one month and twenty days since I met the general. Today, I planned to go into the mountains to gather inspiration. I loved the guzheng, but I was also a somewhat famous painter. For some reason, fog had risen in the mountains."
"I got lost. I wandered around the mountains all morning without finding my way out. Luckily, I had brought some dry rations and was preparing to rest when I saw wolves. I was terrified. I got up and ran, but the wolves chased after me. I thought I was going to die."
"Just then, whoosh, whoosh—two arrows tore through the air and killed two wolves. Then several more arrows shot through the air, killing several wolves that had been hiding nearby."
"Yes, I saw him. I saw that general again. This was the second time he had saved me. I was going to gather my courage and pursue him. This was fate. It had to be fate."
Zhao Yun wandered through the mountains, looking for wild game such as wild boars or rabbits. He did not find any wild boars, but he found several rabbits.
After wandering around and killing several rabbits that morning, he took them out for lunch at noon.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Yun saw a pack of wolves stirring in the foggy area ahead. They seemed to be chasing a girl. He picked up his bow, nocked two arrows, and killed two wolves. Then he nocked five more arrows and killed the other five wolves.
Zhao Yun walked up to the bedraggled girl and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" After speaking, he looked at the girl sitting foolishly on the ground. Looking closely, she was quite a beauty—98 points.
Ouyang Nasa came back to her senses, rummaged through her bag, found a small notebook and a pen, quickly wrote two lines of neat handwriting, and handed them to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun picked it up and saw that it read:
"My name is Ouyang Nasa. Thank you for saving me. I twisted my ankle and can't get up."
Zhao Yun looked at Ouyang Nasa, turned around, and crouched down. "Ouyang Nasa, get on. I'll carry you out of the mountains."
Zhao Yun could tell what was going on at a glance. She was mute and had twisted her ankle. What else was he supposed to do if not carry her? It was not as if he were a doctor.
Ouyang Nasa climbed onto Zhao Yun's back with difficulty. Zhao Yun felt that she was very big.
Ouyang Nasa was embarrassed too. After all, it was the first time she had been carried by a boy. Even though he was the man she liked, she was still shy.
With Ouyang Nasa securely on his back, Zhao Yun sped through the mountains. After rushing all the way, he finally emerged from the mountains at dusk.
Zhao Yun had considered asking Chi Yang to open a wormhole, but Ouyang Nasa was an ordinary person and could not be exposed to that, so he could only carry her through the mountains all afternoon.
Ouyang Nasa had long known that Zhao Yun was no ordinary person. She did not know what Zhao Yun would think.
Carrying Ouyang Nasa on his back, Zhao Yun found the location of the small county town Chi Yang had given him and took her to the town clinic.
Zhao Yun set Ouyang Nasa down and said, "Miss, let's have your ankle looked at first."
The doctor in the small county town was an elderly man. After examining her, he said it was a sprain. It had not swollen, so it was not serious. She just needed to walk carefully for the next few days, and it would heal in about half a month.
The old doctor went on and on to Zhao Yun about all the things they needed to watch out for, while Zhao Yun kept nodding.
Seeing Zhao Yun nodding continuously, Ouyang Nasa smiled.
Zhao Yun checked the coordinates for Juxia City. It was not far away—only another five kilometers. At his pace, he would reach Juxia City in less than an hour.
Zhao Yun asked, "Ouyang Nasa, where do you live? It's still early. I'll take you home."
Ouyang Nasa wanted to spend more time with Zhao Yun, so she took out her notebook and wrote, "My home is in Tianhe City, near Angel International Building."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "All right. Wait a moment."
Zhao Yun sent Li Qi his location and asked her to send a car over. Li Qi really was efficient; in less than half an hour, two supercars arrived.
A man in black got out of the front supercar and said, "Sir, the car you wanted has been delivered."
Zhao Yun had told Li Qi to send something low-key, yet she had sent a supercar. Since when was a supercar low-key?
Zhao Yun waved at the man in black and said, "Your mission is complete."
The man in black gave a military salute, got into the front passenger seat of the other supercar, and sped away.
Zhao Yun picked Ouyang Nasa up and placed her in the front passenger seat. Then he got into the driver's seat and said to her, "Fasten your seat belt."
Ouyang Nasa nodded and fastened her seat belt. The car started and headed toward Angel International Building in Tianhe City.
From time to time, Ouyang Nasa looked at Zhao Yun in the car, leaving him completely confused about what she wanted. Zhao Yun asked, "Need to use the bathroom?"
Ouyang Nasa: shook her head.
Zhao Yun: "Sleepy?"
Ouyang Nasa: shook her head.
Zhao Yun: "Hungry?"
Ouyang Nasa: nodded.
Seeing Ouyang Nasa nod, Zhao Yun said, "All right. Once we get to Tianhe City, we'll get something to eat first, then I'll take you back near Angel International Building."
Ouyang Nasa nodded, indicating her agreement.
