“Alright, there’s nothing more. Let’s leave it at that. I’m going to sleep.” With that, Gu Yu swaggered back to sleep.

Looking at Gu Yu’s back, Ning Yue sighed with emotion. Her master doted on her a lot.

“By the way, Master, I’m going up the mountain to pick herbs tomorrow. Do you want to join me?” Ning Yue asked.

“Why are you going to the mountains? What medicine do you want?” Gu Yu asked.

The mountains were so dangerous. He had almost fallen to his death because he had gone to the mountains. Fortunately, Ning Yue and her family had saved him.

But then again, there were benefits to falling.

Without waiting for Ning Yue to reply, he continued, “There’s no need to go to the mountains. There are many things to do in the west of the village. We can go there.”

“Wow, Master, have you figured out the entire village?” Ning Yue asked happily.

“Of course. Don’t underestimate your master,” Gu Yu said.

Ning Yue smiled and said nothing more. She returned to her room to rest with the two children.

Perhaps it was because she had revealed her secret that night, but Ning Yue felt very relaxed.

In her dream, she seemed to be dreaming of a woman who looked exactly like her.

“Who are you?” Ning Yue asked her.

“My name is Ning Yue. I am you, and you are me. In the future, you have to love my family well on my behalf! Remember to visit Dragon Village tomorrow.” With that, the woman turned into a puff of smoke and left.

Ning Yue woke up with a start and realized that it was a dream. Was that woman the original owner?

At this moment, the two children suddenly burst into tears. Madam He was alarmed by their cries and hurriedly ran in.

The moment she arrived, she saw Ning Yue holding the children in a flurry. She reached out to carry Xiaobao. Finally, the cries of the two children grew softer.

Ning Yue could clearly see the tears on the two children’s faces. Her heart suddenly ached.

Was it because the Host had disappeared? Were the two children crying for their mother?

Ning Yue fell silent. Seeing this, Madam He asked nervously, “What exactly is going on? Why are the two children crying so hard?”

“Perhaps they were frightened. I remembered to drink some water and didn’t notice that I had knocked into a chair,” Ning Yue said.

“Why were you so careless? Are you alright? Does it hurt?” Madam He looked at Ning Yue with heartache.

“Mother, I’m fine.” Ning Yue’s heart ached when she saw how nervous Madam He was. If Madam He knew that the real Ning Yue had died, she would probably be sad.

At the thought of this, Ning Yue felt very upset.

“Mother, stay with me tonight.” Ning Yue looked at Madam He coquettishly.

“Okay, okay. Mom will accompany you tonight,” Madam He said to Ning Yue with a smile.

Tonight, Madam He slept with Ning Yue. Ning Yue no longer dreamed and had a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, Ning Yue opened her eyes and realized that Madam He had already left the room.

The two children were also brought out by Madam He.

Before she went to bed last night, she told Madam He that she would be going to the mountains with Gu Yu to pick herbs today.

In order to let her have a good rest, Madam He must have secretly left the room with the two children when she woke up, in case she didn’t have the strength to go up the mountain.

She took out an oversized backpack from her space and put some food and emergency supplies into it.

When she came out of the room, Gu Yu was already waiting.

“What’s that on your back?” Gu Yu looked at the backpack Ning Yue was carrying, his eyes filled with curiosity.

“This is something I took from the general’s residence. If Master wants it, I can get someone to make something identical to this,” Ning Yue said.

“Sure, sure. Give me ten!” Gu Yu said bluntly.

“Forget it. One is enough. Ten? There aren’t that many.” Ning Yue refused.

“Alright, one is fine.” Gu Yu pursed his lips. Why was everyone bullying an old man like him?

In order not to worry about Ning Yue’s backpack, Gu Yu changed the topic. “Yue Yue, why are you suddenly planning to go up the mountain?”

“It’s nothing. I just wanted to go,” Ning Yue said. “By the way, Master, do you know where Dragon Village is?”

“Why are you asking this? Don’t tell me you want to go over?” Gu Yu looked at Ning Yue in surprise.

“Yes.” Ning Yue didn’t explain anything to Gu Yu.

After all, this was a dream. These things were too fantastical. She didn’t know how to explain it, so she decided not to say anything.

“I’m telling you, the Dragon Village is haunted. You’d better not go there,” Gu Yu said to Ning Yue, frowning.
