Zhou Silang pointed at several circles on the map, saying, "We've searched all these places already. The closest one to us now is here. I know this place; it's just over a mountain ridge, but it's tough terrain, lots of trees, so we can only get around it from the other side."
Manbao and the others didn't understand, so they naturally followed Zhou Silang's lead.
Thus, the group packed up the map and headed deeper into the territory.
It was only now that Bai Erlang found the opportunity to ask, "What are those circles on the map for?"
Manbao glanced at him and said, "Places my Third Uncle has been to."
"Why are we going to places your Third Uncle has been to?"
Manbao didn't answer him but instead turned to ask Zhou Silang, "That's so far away; why would he go to such a distant place?"
