NOVPUBChapter 977: 462 Silent Moon_3 Chapter 977: 462 Silent Moon_3 “Wait for me.” Kelly Martinez took a deep breath, turning her head to the side, she carefully moved forward.
Her toe hit a stone which fell into the abyss, making no sound at all.
Kelly felt a rush of fear and quickened her steps.
Anton Cook and Peter Aria exchanged glances.
Although neither feared heights, this path was similar to a single-plank bridge, with a deep chasm lying underneath, causing a semblance of terror.
Madon Linggo coughed lightly, “I’ll go first.
If you are scared, don’t cross.”
Madon Linggo crossed over with ease.
...
Anton Cook rolled up his sleeves.
What a joke, there was no way he could be afraid.
He looked at the abyss beside him, clenched his teeth, held his breath, and crossed the path.
Upon reaching the other side, he took a deep breath.
Turning around, he saw Peter Aria pat his shoulder, smiling as he said, “You’ve got a decent physical fitness.”
Anton Cook touched his nose, “Uncle, I usually work out a lot.
Once we get back to Lostswa, let’s plan to work out together.”
Peter Aria nodded, “Fine.”
Madon Linggo followed them and discovered a small house near the edge of a cliff.
In front of the house, on a patch of open ground, a stone table and chairs are placed on the left and wooden shelves on the right, which were bare.
On the open ground south of the house, crisscrossed paths were overgrown with weeds.
However, it was not difficult to see that this place once grew some vegetables, but it had now become wild due to long-term neglect.
Ms.
Aubree pushed open the wooden door, being greeted by a gust of dust.
She covered her nose with her sleeve and entered.
Inside the room, three walls were fitted with wooden shelves filled with various herbs.
Kelly didn’t recognize most of them, but she did recognize ginseng and ganoderma.
“Is …
is this natural wild ginseng?” Kelly asked in surprise.
Seeing its good quality, she assumed it would fetch a hefty price in the market.
The basket full of ganoderma would also be worth a lot.
Aubree selected the two highest quality wild ginseng, wrapped them in a handkerchief intending to give them to Granny Groove and Father Hart.
Aubree also picked some herbs, categorized and ground them into a powder in a mortar.
As she did these things, her expression was very serious, seemingly unaffected by anything or anyone else.
After all this, Aubree thought for a moment and said, “We’re still short of Codonopsis pilosula.”
Picking up the tools hanging on the wall, Aubree said, “Wait for me here, I’ll go into the mountain and will be back before dusk.
If you are hungry, you can go down the mountain first, no need to wait for me.”
“I’ll go with you.” Kelly wouldn’t let Aubree go into the mountains alone.
It would be too dangerous.
“I’m going too.” Anton Cook immediately said.
Peter Aria looked at the gloomy sky, “Looks like it might rain.
It may be risky for you to enter the mountain now.”
Aubree shook her head, “I’ve lived in the mountains since I was a child and I’m very familiar with the paths here.
You don’t need to worry about me.
I’ll be back soon.”
No sooner had she spoken than she disappeared into the mountains.
Kelly didn’t even have time to follow her.
Madon Linggo looked at Peter Aria’s worried expression and said, “Miss Aubree is right.
She grew up here and probably wouldn’t get lost even if she closed her eyes.
And it doesn’t look like it’s going to rain yet.
The scenery here is quite nice, let’s enjoy it.”
People isolated from the worldly hustle living in a paradise, inhaling the pure aura, rejuvenating their souls.
The group moved back to the front of the palace.
Kelly was curious about everything.
She looked around and touched things, just like a tourist visiting a heritage site.
“When did you meet Ms.
Rinto?” Sergeant Linggo casually asked.
The interaction between these two seemed complicated.
Zurich Brian was shrouded in mystery.
What was his story?
Kelly raised her eyebrow, “Sergeant Linggo seems quite interested in my relationship with Miss Aubree.
Isn’t it inappropriate to pry into other people’s private affairs?
Is this part of your duty as a police officer?
But I haven’t committed any crime.”
Sergeant Linggo narrowed his eyes, “Mr.
Brian, you have misunderstood.
Ms.
Rinto and I are also friends.
She is too kind-hearted and can be deceived by others in society.”
“So, Sergeant Linggo suspects that I am the deceiver.
Even though Aubree is kind-hearted, it doesn’t mean she’s naive.
Are all police officers good?
What about that Bartlett Parker?” Kelly sneered.
“Alright, it’s all a misunderstanding.” Peter Aria intervened to smooth things over.
Anton Cook felt the water splashing on his face.
Looking up at the foggy sky, he murmured, “It’s raining…!”
The drizzle swept in, accompanied by a piercing cold wind on their faces.
The rain had caught them off guard, coming down suddenly and without warning.
It soon turned into a heavy downpour, forcing the group to take refuge under the eaves of the temple.
Anton Cook looked anxiously towards the depths of the mountain.
