"No. This is the first time I've seen this. In the past, my customers didn't bother with my meals."

Cannes said.

"This is the same as your regular hot pot, except that the pot heats up when it comes into contact with water. You've seen quicklime before, right?"

"kindness."

"Putting quicklime into water will release heat and produce steam, thus cooking the food."

"So that's how it is."

"Eat quickly, it's getting cold."

Ye Er was the first to finish eating.

"Boss, I'll go get some branches. The tent is all set up. I'll keep watch tonight. You and Miss Su can get some rest."

After Ye Er finished speaking, he prepared to pick up some tree branches.

Then Su Ya said, "Wait a minute."

Su Ya tossed a bag to Ye Er.

"Sprinkle the contents of this container around the tent, and keep the rest with you."

"Okay, Miss Su."

Ye Er sprinkled powder around several tents without checking what was inside, and then picked up branches with the bag.

There were originally many unknown small insects in the forest.

Ye Er was bitten a few times when he carried Cannes over.

Strangely, the bite suddenly stopped itching, and even the sounds of mosquitoes around me disappeared.

Ye Er quickly picked up a lot of branches.

After checking, I felt it would last until dawn, so I stopped.

When he returned, the meal was almost over. Cannes was holding a box of convenient heated rice, eating and licking his lips. He had never eaten anything so delicious.

It's so delicious!

Back in her tent, Suya tidied up briefly, checked her watch, and saw it was only a little past 9 p.m.

She came out of the tent and suggested switching places with Ye Er. She proposed that Ye Er go and rest first, so that they could conserve their energy. She would keep watch for the first half of the night, and Ye Er would get up for the second half. They would take turns.

Ye Er initially wanted to decline.

But thinking about what Suya said made sense, so she immediately went back into the tent, perhaps because she was too tired. She quickly fell asleep.

Suya sat in front of the fire.

They would add branches to the ground from time to time to keep the fire burning.

Cannes was also frightened in the afternoon and went back to sleep.

They chose a great spot; through the gaps in the tall trees, you could see the twinkling stars in the sky.

Suya looked up at the sky.

The sky here appears exceptionally bright.

Ye Qinchuan had also finished packing up. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw Su Ya looking up at the sky with a very blissful and beautiful expression, just like a fairy from a legend.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Ye Qinchuan was unaware that Su Ya and Ye Er had switched shifts.

"I can't sleep."

Where is Ye Er?

“I told him to go to sleep. We took turns keeping watch. I kept watch for the first half of the night, and he kept watch for the second half. Anyway, I wasn’t sleepy either.”

After Su Ya finished speaking, Ye Qinchuan sat down next to her.

"Ya Ya, do you know what stars are?"

"kindness?"

"Let me tell you, that's Altair, and that's Vega."

Ye Qinchuan pointed to the sky and said.

Su Ya actually knew Xingxing, but seeing that Ye Qinchuan was in a good mood, she couldn't bear to interrupt her.

Then Ye Qinchuan continued.

"Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were opposed by the people of Heaven, who separated them and only allowed them to meet once a year. However, there was a star fairy in Heaven who felt sorry for them, so she always managed to bring the two of them together when no one else was looking."

Do you see those little stars far away from them? They're said to be their children.

Su Ya laughed after hearing this.

"Where did you hear all this from?"

Ye Qinchuan did not reply to her.

"Ya Ya, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more often."

Su Ya felt a little hot after hearing Ye Qinchuan's words.

In all these years, he had never heard a woman say such a thing to him; this was the first time a man had said such a thing to him.

"Um... I'm suddenly feeling a bit unwell, I'm going back to sleep."

Suya made an excuse and ran away.

Ye Qinchuan had already seen Su Ya blush.

Watching Su Ya's departing figure, Ye Qinchuan muttered to himself, "So you can be shy too. I thought you were always so cold."

He scared off the main character, but from now on, Ye Qinchuan would have to keep watch by himself.

"I should have known better than to tease him."

Ye Qinchuan casually tossed branches into the fire to keep it burning. The forest was a dangerous place; without a fire, anything could sneak in.

Ye Er went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and on his way back, he glanced at the campfire.

Then he couldn't believe it—his boss was there.

He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was indeed his boss.

The effects of the alcohol wore off instantly.

Startled, he quickly ran over and stammered, "Boss, why are you on night watch here?"

Ye Qinchuan seemed unhappy.

She glanced at him.

Then he got up and left.

Ye Er was a bit confused: "What's wrong with their boss? And wasn't Miss Su here before? When did their boss arrive?"

However, none of these questions have answers.

His task now is to keep watch.

The next day, dawn broke.

After returning home, Su Ya couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about why she had blushed earlier. This had happened before, and it was always because of Ye Qinchuan.

I thought about it all night, until dawn.

When she opened the tent, she found that Ye Qinchuan was already up.

A ray of sunlight shone on him, making him look even more imposing.

Su Ya came out of the tent, and Ye Qinchuan, who had been watching her closely, quickly straightened up and greeted her.

"Ya Ya, good morning."

"kindness."

"Let's eat something and then set off. Let's try to find the Valley of Medicine today."

Yesterday they learned from Cannes that there was a medicine valley here, but because of the python incident yesterday, they went in the opposite direction.

So everyone has to go back today.

After finishing breakfast, the group prepared to set off.

The road ahead became increasingly difficult to traverse, unlike the path ahead where people continued to walk and left traces of their presence.

Ye Er led the charge, while Cannes directed from behind.

Not to mention, Cannes is a very peculiar person. He often manages to find a way out where there seems to be no way.

They followed the directions given by Cannes.

Then I felt the surroundings getting colder and colder.

"It'll be soon; the medicine valley is not far ahead."

Why is it so cold here?

Ye Qinchuan asked.

Cannes thought for a moment before saying, "I walked in here by chance a few years ago. The place is in a magical place. It is in a valley, and the temperature there is divided into two seasons. One side is winter, which is very cold, and the other side is summer, which is very hot."

After hearing what Cannes said, Suya felt it all matched what she knew; the medicinal herb she was looking for grew in such a place where the temperature fluctuated between hot and cold. She had thought it was just a legend, but it turned out there really was such a place in Shennongjia.
