Ye Qiu learned nearly everything he could from the old grandmother, and after grabbing a stick, he prepared to head up the mountain with Zhou Wenting and Wen Xin.
The elderly grandmother was a bit worried about the safety of the three, as this stretch of mountains was vast. Besides the nearby peaks where people herded cattle and sheep, the more distant areas were practically uncharted.
Moreover, the mountains were teeming with poisonous creatures like snakes, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes as long as two fingers. Only the villagers with remarkable courage would dare venture up there.
However, the snake catcher Li Laoliu had died a few days ago, Ma Sanpao was also dead, and the other villagers were in quarantine.
Ye Qiu walked ahead with the stick, followed by Wen Xin and Zhou Wenting. Although the two women were a bit frightened, having Ye Qiu by their side bolstered their courage.
