Chapter 177 Belated Affection is Cheaper than Grass

Even someone as composed as Tie Tou was taken aback. "The Misty Forest of the Southern and Northern Frontiers? Isn't that a forest where even eagles lose their way?"

The reason Mulin hasn't set off yet is that he's organizing a professional team, because the Misty Forest is no ordinary place.

Mu Lin nodded. "That's right. According to the locals, no one can come out of the Misty Forest alive. Even compasses malfunction inside. Second Master, leave Sister-in-law's matter to Tie Tou and me. You wait for our news at the hospital. The journey has been dangerous and bumpy; I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

Wei Chizheng was determined; no one's words mattered. "Isn't being in the hospital just waiting to die?"

Both Mu Lin and Tie Tou fell silent after hearing that.

Mu Lin frowned, still wanting to try again, but Tie Tou spoke up, "Mu Lin, let Second Master go, don't let him have any regrets."

Mu Lin swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Mu Lin took a deep breath and said with righteous indignation, "Alright, Second Master, don't worry, I, Mu Lin, swear that I will definitely let you see your sister-in-law."

Wei Chizheng's body is now at its limit. He has just undergone emergency treatment. He sits weakly in the helicopter, and it seems that his life is slipping away.

On the way to southern Xinjiang, Mu Lin secretly wiped away tears several times, and Tie Tou also sighed repeatedly. As for Wei Chizheng, he kept looking at information about the Misty Forest.

If Pei Jingchuan can bring people in, it means he must have mastered the secrets of the Misty Forest, so this is not a dead end.

Once they discover the secret of the Misty Forest, they can enter and leave freely.

After several hours of flight, the helicopter landed in a village near the Misty Forest. Tie Tou asked the locals about the forest and learned something similar to what he had learned before.

However, there was a new discovery: last year, a sixteen-year-old boy in the village sleepwalked into the Misty Forest in the middle of the night, and his family found him at the entrance of the forest the next day.

Aside from a few bumps and bruises, he was otherwise unharmed.

The village chief called the child over, and Wei Chi asked him a lot of questions, but it didn't have much effect.

Because the child was sleepwalking the whole time, he had no idea what happened in the misty forest.

Meanwhile, Mulin organized a professional team to conduct various tests at the entrance of the Misty Forest.

The compass couldn't tell the direction because of the Earth's magnetic field, and the air was also analyzed, showing a low oxygen content. We don't know what the conditions are like deeper in the forest.

The magnetic field was too strong, so the idea of ​​flying a plane over there to check the situation was also rejected; there is too little information available so far.

But Wei Chizheng couldn't wait any longer; he couldn't wait even a minute longer.

Wei Chizheng packed his bags and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Mu Lin and Tie Tou picked up their own things and followed.

Wei Chizheng's expression was serious, and he said in an almost commanding tone, "Who told you to come along? Go back now."

Mu Lin relaxed and chuckled nonchalantly, "Second Master, we won't persuade you to go back, and you don't need to worry about whether we follow or not."

Tie Tou walked ahead, then looked back at them. "Second Master, even if you argue until the end, Mu Lin and I will not leave unless you kill us right now."

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow and casually took Wei Chizheng's backpack. "Second Master, we're all men, let's not do those sentimental things and let's go."

Wei Chizheng felt both helpless and gratified. They were sworn brothers, and in his heart, he had long regarded them as brothers, not just loyal subordinates.

A few seconds later, Mu Lin and Tie Tou walked ahead, playfully bickering. Wei Chi laughed and strolled after them.

Wooden house, the sun rising in the east.

Xie Nanzhi slowly opened her eyes, but it was still pitch black.

But she could clearly feel the warm sunlight on her body; there was no doubt about it. For three long years in darkness, Xie Nanzhi relied on this to distinguish between day and night.

She tried to reach out and touch the sunlight, but the iron chains on her wrists were tightly locked, preventing her from moving.

It seemed that despair was eroding her will; Xie Nanzhi bit her lower lip tightly, her collarbone trembling.

She realized something was wrong yesterday, and today she is certain that she can't see it again.

Last time it was his fault that he defeated us, and this time it will be the same.

How could she not hate?

Her trembling hands rattled the chains as she lay there for an unknown amount of time until the wooden door was pushed open.

Xie Nanzhi knew it was him.

Pei Jingchuan brought delicious food, and the aroma wafted through the air as soon as he entered.

Pei Jingchuan sat down, opened the food box, and found several side dishes that were all her favorites. He picked up a bowl, took out a piece of tender fish, and said, "Nanzhi, let's eat. I made all of this for you myself."

Xie Nanzhi recalled that once during a family banquet, Xie Xiyan casually mentioned that Pei Jingchuan's cooking was delicious.

Xie Xiyan also specifically asked Xie Nanzhi if she had eaten enough of the meals Pei Jingchuan cooked. After all, he dotes on her so much, he would definitely be willing to cook for her often.

In the three years of their marriage, Pei Jingchuan had never cooked a single meal for her. She told Xie Xiyan about it, but Xie Xiyan didn't believe her, saying that Pei Jingchuan used to cook for her often and knew Xie Xiyan's tastes very well.

At the time, I thought it was just casual conversation, but now I realize that Xie Xiyan was just showing off.

On one occasion, Xie Nanzhi playfully asked Wei Chizheng if she could eat a meal he cooked, but Wei Chizheng refused, saying he was too busy.

She never mentioned it again after that.

Xie Nanzhi had no interest in it, and even felt disgusted.

The fish was brought to her lips, but Xie Nanzhi didn't open her mouth. Pei Jingchuan patiently coaxed her, "Nanzhi, haven't you always wanted to eat my cooking? From now on, I'll cook every meal for you myself."

Belated affection is worth less than grass; even a dog would shake its head at it.

She, Xie Nanzhi, didn't care.

Xie Nanzhi was expressionless and pale. "My eyes... I can't see. Pei Jingchuan, do you know that?"

Pei Jingchuan's hand trembled, and his sword-like eyebrows furrowed.

He knew he couldn't hide it for long.

Pei Jingchuan calmed down, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and held her shoulders with both hands. "Nanzhi, don't be afraid. Although you can't see, you still have me. In the days to come, I will be your eyes. We will live like before. I will take good care of you and never make you sad again."

Xie Nanzhi retorted with a stern face, "You poisoned me?"

Pei Jingchuan was eager to explain, saying, "Nanzhi, I love you so much, how could I possibly poison you? You went blind because the anesthetic had a side effect. But don't worry, I don't despise you. I still love you, no, I love you even more than before."

That's utter nonsense.

Xie Nanzhi felt a chill run down her spine. How could there be such a shameless scoundrel like him in this world?

With a gloomy face, Xie Nanzhi's expression was more unpleasant than ever before. "I don't want to eat anymore, you can take it away."

Pei Jingchuan thought she would fly into a rage and curse hysterically, but he never expected her to be so calm.

Pei Jingchuan panicked. "Nanzhi, are you blaming me?"
