Chapter 649: The electric baton 649 came in handy.
Not wanting Ye Jiu to linger in such low spirits, Sikong Mo appropriately changed the topic, "The person going to escort the grain this time is Si Rong. When the time comes, just give him the telescope with it. Are the grains all set?"
"As long as there’s a place to store them, they can be ready at any time," Ye Jiu replied without any pressure.
However, his original plans were now spoiled.
"Yesterday, I just got a good thing and was planning to enjoy it in the back mountains. But it attracted a swarm of animals. You wouldn’t believe how terrifying it was; even the birds in the sky swarmed in. The whole sky was dark and oppressive—it was so scary. Luckily, I had plenty of Sleeping Drug on me; otherwise, I might have only been able to lose my life there," Ye Jiu said, still feeling a shiver of fear.
Yet, as he spoke of this incident, the oppressive feelings that had stemmed from his past seemed to dissolve suddenly, as if the person who had been grieving just before wasn’t himself.
"Attacked by animals? Are you hurt?" Sikong Mo felt a surge of nervousness and pulled Ye Jiu up to inspect him from head to toe.
Ye Jiu felt uncomfortable under his earnest gaze and pushed his embracing arms away, "I’m not hurt; it’s the animals that paid the price with their lives. Right now, they’re probably being skinned and dissected."
"Originally, I thought of processing the meat to improve your rations on the trip, but now it seems I won’t make it in time."
Seeing that Ye Jiu was unharmed, Sikong Mo felt relieved, "That’s not important. What matters is your own safety. Be sure to take care."
