Bai Suihe also sat down. "Did you find the men?"
Gu Kaiyuan shook his head. "There wasn't a single trace along the way. Even if there had been, the snow would have completely buried it.
"I originally planned to head deeper into the mountains this morning, but unexpectedly, we ran into two wolves. It took quite a bit of effort to deal with them, leaving us in a sorry state, so we had no choice but to return.
"As for the two wolves we killed, their pelts were severely ruined, so we just let the two villagers take them back."
"You've already done your best, anyway," Bai Suihe said. She didn't care about the pelts, but she also didn't want Gu Kaiyuan to risk going into the mountains again. "In this freezing weather, their chances of survival are incredibly slim. Even if they were lucky enough to still be alive, finding them deep in the mountains with just the few of you would be no easy task."
