When Yang Ruqing saw the rolling hills ahead, she knew they were getting close to their destination. Up the mountain, a donkey surpasses a horse on flat ground; down the mountain, a mule doesn't need to be beaten. This means we need to climb a mountain, so horses are definitely out of the question. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! Yang Ruqing didn't know how long it would take her to get out of the mountains, so she set the horse free. Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else! "This trip into the mountains, I'd barely be able to make it myself, let alone protect you." "I'm setting you free now. You go find your own way, and take care!" She fed the mare one last time, making sure she had enough water to drink. Then she gently stroked her head. The horse was a very spiritual animal, seeming to sense Yang Ruohua's complicated emotions at this moment. It stuck out its tongue to lick Yang Ruqing's arm and let out a snort. Yang Ruqing smiled wryly, raised her hand and lightly patted its head: "Alright, let's go!" Watching the horse disappear, she also picked up her bag and plunged headlong into the mountains ahead. Dressed in the attire of local residents, I walked along the rugged mountain path, my eyes scanning the surrounding scenery. This route was provided by Old Uncle Qu, follow it forward and you'll encounter many villages of various sizes along the way. Yang Ruqing gave up one village after another, conducting a carpet-like search and inquiry. Because this is not Daci's ancient village and Hongcun, this is Nanman. Asking around and being a stranger myself, it's inevitable that I would attract the attention of those with ill intentions. Too much commotion will backfire in the end. Therefore, Yang Ruohqing decided to change her strategy. She would first infiltrate a village and then secretly observe the surrounding movements. Where to go undercover? > Lao Jue Shu's former dwelling in Heiyan寨 seems like a decent choice. However, this road to Black Rock Fort is very different from what Old Uncle Que told me! Well, think about it. Old Uncle Jue hasn't been back to the mountain for fourteen years. Fourteen springs, summers, autumns, and winters are enough to change a lot of things. Forget it, if I can't find Black Rock Village, I won't force it. Let's find a nearby village to rest and then slowly inquire about its whereabouts. After walking for a day and night, the route that Old Uncle Jue gave was no longer passable. There's no way around it, I guess I'll just have to figure things out on my own now. In this way, after two days and two nights of trekking in the mountains, at midday on this day, Yang Ruqing came to a valley. This valley is very quiet. Like a giant mouth, on the surrounding cliffs, soft red soil grew slender bamboo and a kind of plant with particularly thick and wide leaves. The autumn brushstrokes here have left the most intense mark. Golden wildflowers bloom by the babbling brook. The water was crystal clear, and the oddly shaped pebbles beneath the surface were clearly visible. The little fish swam freely among the smooth water plants. The air was good, the sun warm, and the scenery beautiful. Just like a painting of the human world, it's a pity that the people in this picture don't have the mood to enjoy the scenery. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ? Yang Ruoqing came to the creek, scooped up some water and drank it. I'm so thirsty, I'm parched! My throat feels like it's on fire. The cool, sweet stream slid down my throat, and I felt truly alive. Looking down, I saw my reflection in the water. A genuine country girl from the mountains, this face is because she's used some things to disguise herself. Her eyebrows were lighter, and the curve of her eyes had changed. There was a yellowish tinge to her haggard face. On either side of the nose bridge, there are a few scattered freckles. His mouth was chapped, his hair tousled and unkempt, the kind of person who would be completely lost in a crowd. "Well, this hairstyle isn't great." Yang Ruoqing looked at her reflection in the water and smiled wryly. I wonder if, when standing before Tang Ya Zi like this, he would still recognize himself? "And what about Chener, will he be scared to tears seeing such an ugly woman?"
Yang Ruqing was pouring water into her mouth while thinking wildly in her mind. These wild imaginings were the driving force behind her relentless pursuit. Only by constantly thinking about these things could she find the courage and strength to trek alone in the mountains... Suddenly, there was a commotion in the woods behind them. Yang Ruqing suddenly twisted her body and saw a black back darting out from behind that extremely wide and thick wild plant. In the blink of an eye, it rushed forward. It was a full-grown wild boar. At the same time she discovered this wild boar, the wild boar also saw Yang Ruqing. Its tiny pig eyes were filled with blood, and its whole body was radiating rage. Seeming to feel extreme disgust towards this hideous human woman who appeared in the valley, the wild boar let out a low growl and charged towards her. > Yang Ruqing had an innocent look on her face. Wild boar brother, it's my fault that I'm ugly, but I didn't offend you either. Why do we have to hurt each other like this? Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! In silence, she grumbled. She remained crouched by the stream, but her other hand had reached for her hip. This is a request to translate the content within the " <<< >>>" tags into English.

When not in use, it was kept close to the body, unseen and unremarkable. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! When you need it, just pull it out and shake it. It's a deadly weapon for killing and robbing! A herd of wild boars had arrived, she needed to hide, but this solitary boar, Yang Ruqing didn't really take it to heart. But the next instant, her movement of touching the whip suddenly stopped. Then, three hunting dogs rushed out from where the wild boar had been. The three hunting dogs looked fierce, like the kind of guard dogs from the mountains. Three hunting dogs all had the same black leather collar around their necks, they must have come from the same home. The three hunting dogs clearly went after the wild boar. The three of them rushed forward, quickly encircling the boar in the middle. It started with a frenzied growl. The three hunting dogs attacked the wild boar, sending it howling in pain.
The valley, originally tranquil and serene like a painting, suddenly became lively. All the birds resting on the nearby branches were startled and took flight. As for Yang Ruqing, she seemed to be scared by the fight in front of her. She fell to the ground with a thump and was so frightened that she forgot to run away. Please note that the original input contained only ``, which is a closing paragraph tag in HTML. There was no text to translate. At the same time, an arrow flew towards him. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ? Firmly plunged into the wild boar's back, the boar yelped in pain. Having mustered all his strength, he implored the three hunting dogs to spare him. He then turned and fled in a sorry state deep into the nearby forest. The three hunting dogs kept chasing, and a loud whistle rang out. The three hunting dogs immediately turned and dashed in the direction of the whistle. Then, wagging their tails and bouncing excitedly, they surrounded a tall and sturdy young man as he came over from there. "Well done, you three, keep patrolling here and don't wander off!" A young man patted the head of one of the dogs and strode over to the stream. "Girl, are you alright?" He stopped in front of Yang Ruoqing, bent down, and looked at her with concern. Yang Ruqing raised her head, her sallow face with freckles looking startled. His gaze swept over the young man standing before him, taking in his attire and the wild rabbit and chicken hanging from his waist. With a bow and arrows slung across his shoulder, Yang Ruohong guessed he must be a hunter. Moreover, he was just talking to the dog and her in the language of the mountain people.
