The protected ones should be the small animals in the mountains...
Fortunately, Ni Yang only came to pick some herbal medicine; if Ni Yang lived in the mountains year-round, wouldn't she scare away all the small animals?
While walking, Ni Yang suddenly stopped.
Master Du did not expect her to stop so abruptly and bumped right into a "human wall," nearly falling as his steps wavered. A pale hand quickly grabbed his wrist and then just as swiftly let go, "Watch where you're going."
Master Du steadied himself, "What happened?"
Ni Yang looked around, "It seems we're lost."
By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and various sounds of small animals echoed through the forest, which would certainly make anyone with a faint heart tremble with fear.
Master Du, who had plenty of outdoor experience, said, "It's the 'ghost hitting the wall.'"
Ni Yang massaged her temples, "What should we do?"
