At night, Big Pillar and Qi Yun appeared at the door of Old Zhao's wooden cabin.
The old man and the dog named Tiger have yet to return.
Qi Yun frowned and asked, "Brother Pillar, how far is the place where Zhao went from here?"
Big Pillar scratched his head and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Old Zhao told me last night that he was going to Wild Wolf Gully, which is about twenty kilometers from here. With his pace, it would take him five or six hours to get there."
"But he's been gone quite a while today; he should have been back by now."
Qi Yun looked at the sky anxiously and asked, "Is there anything dangerous over there? Could something have happened to him?"
Big Pillar frowned slightly and sighed, "Wild Wolf Gully is a tough place to visit. It's called Wild Wolf Gully because there are many wild animals, especially wolves which roam in packs, so we rarely venture there."
Cao Yufei chimed in, "Could Old Zhao have run into a pack of wolves?"
