"It's already getting so late, and it's not safe to continue searching. Why don't we stay nearby?"
Gu Nianen suggested in a gentle voice, but deep in her eyes she could not hide her annoyance. She had never walked so much since she was a child. Every time she went out, she would either ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair. Her legs hurt from walking today.
The mountain road was rugged, and in many places there was no road at all. Wherever she passed, flowers and plants scratched her skin, which made her feel itchy and painful.
"We can't reach the place we originally planned." Wan Heng looked at the map in his hand, "Today's journey is slower than expected, so we can only try to find a place to camp downstream."
"It's already dark now, and I can't tell the direction on the map. How can I find it?" Ji Chunju said.
Gu Nianen could sense Ji Chunrou's dissatisfaction with her. She lowered her head and said apologetically, "I am the one who has dragged everyone down today. I'm sorry."
"Princess Ming, why do you need to apologize?" Di Shaoyuan said quickly, "You have a body of gold, so naturally you will not adapt to it. You have done your best to get this far."
Gu Nianen was still full of guilt, and her mist-filled eyes were soft, making people feel softer just by looking at them.
Qin Minglang patted her hand and said, "Don't think too much about it."
"Senior Brother Wan, can you lend me this map?" Gu Niansheng walked to Wan Heng's side, and the latter handed the map to her as soon as she heard it, "Junior Sister, this is your first time in the Yuanqi Mountains, can you understand this map?"
Gu Niansheng smiled slightly, took the map and looked at the signs on it carefully. Since nightfall, it was inevitable to tilt when walking in this direction, but she could identify the direction.
I saw that the location was originally marked on the map. It was obvious that the four brothers and sisters had already made plans before, but the plans could not keep up with the changes.
"This river runs through the Yuanqi Mountains. Now we can only choose the shortest path to go downstream, which should be...this direction!"
Gu Niansheng pointed to the direction on the right, "You can tell the direction from the growth lines of the leaves, and as we walked along the way, the trees in this direction also held more water..."
Listening to the woman's analysis, Xiang Yiran and others' faces were filled with surprise.
"Junior Sister Nian Sheng, I didn't expect you to know this?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Okay, then just listen to junior sister and go in this direction."
Seeing that the four senior brothers and sisters were more enthusiastic towards Gu Niansheng than she was, Gu Nianen felt very unhappy and couldn't help but said: "My sister has never traveled far before, and she has never even visited the imperial city. How can she tell the direction?"
?”
What seems like a curious statement actually makes everyone worried.
How could a girl who had never traveled far know the direction by looking at such a complicated map?
However, Gu Niansheng just smiled lightly and said, "Sister, I forgot that I lived outside all those years before.
Although I have forgotten the past events due to amnesia, I still know these things."
The eldest daughter of the Gu family was kidnapped by bad guys and lived outside for more than ten years. This was a matter that everyone in the imperial city knew, but no one expected that Gu Niansheng would be so relaxed and casual when talking about it.
"I didn't expect you to know this. I've never heard you say it before." Qin Minglang's eyes brightened slightly. He had never understood her before, but now he realizes that she actually knows so many things?
"I'm not a lady, and I can't bring myself to show what I know." Gu Niansheng said calmly.
Xiang Yiran and others looked at each other. The relationship between the three of them was really awkward. They noticed that Gu Niansheng did not take the initiative to talk to Qin Minglang and Gu Nianen along the way, but they did like talking to her.
