Ye Moxun and the System: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred?

No, you can't envy that kind of luck.

Seeing that she was alright, Ye Moxun took out a meat bun and ate it in a few bites. It seemed that eating more was helpful; at least he wouldn't be hungry or have a stomachache.

"Oh my, Tantan, you can get up! You're all better now?" Zhu Xiu and the others were both surprised and delighted. They hadn't expected her to recover so quickly, and they felt that the road ahead wasn't so uncertain anymore.

"Yes, I'm all better now. Thanks to that bowl of porridge, I regained my strength." Song Tantan smiled, her clear black and white eyes blinking mischievously.

"You all stay here and don't wander around. I'll go check the surroundings. Maybe Auntie and Uncle Zhong have come looking for us. I'll go greet them." Song Tantan couldn't wait any longer; she was eager to know how her aunt was doing.

"I'll go with you." Ye Moxun grabbed her small hand without saying another word.

Song Tantan didn't shake him off; instead, she grabbed his hand and ran off like the wind.

"Hey, be careful, you two." Zhu Xiu wanted to give them a few more words of advice, but she couldn't. Actually, she wanted to go with them to take a look, but the two little ones clearly didn't want her to come along and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Slow down, I can't run anymore." Ye Moxun tried to hold back, but finally succumbed to his weak physique. His legs were so weak that he was being dragged along by Song Tantan. If he ran any further, he would collapse to the ground.

She had indeed run quite hard just now. Song Tantan realized that Ye Moxun had reached his limit, so she stopped and stopped. She looked around while panting and saw a crooked tree in front of her. She ran over and tried to climb it.

She stopped abruptly as her chubby little hands hugged the tree trunk. She turned to Ye Moxun and said, "It's getting dark, and it might not be safe down here. Why don't you come up the tree with me?"

"If I still had the strength to climb the tree, I wouldn't have told you to stop," Ye Moxun said, her face pale as she breathed heavily.

“But I can’t take care of you if I’m not by your side. What if a wild animal comes and you get carried away?” Song Tantan said seriously.

Ye Moxun's face darkened. Although it was dark and Song Tantan couldn't see his expression, she could still sense his displeasure. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll climb up the tree first, and then use the rope to pull you up. You should also put in some effort yourself. Don't just let me pull you; I might not be able to pull you up."

"I know, I'm not stupid." Ye Moxun glared at her, annoyed.

"It's not that I'm afraid you're stupid, I'm worried you're lazy, too lazy to move." Song Tantan made a face at him, then quickly climbed up the tree like a giant panda.

"Don't think I can't see you. You look really ugly when you make faces," Ye Moxun said coldly.

"You're the ugly one, you bad guy," Song Tantan broke off a tree branch and hit him on the head, then took out a rope from her spatial storage and threw it down. "Hurry up and tie the rope around your waist. Tell me when you're done."

"Song Tantan, how many times have I told you not to hit my head?" The two of them would call each other by their full names when they got angry.

Song Tantan ignored what he said and only asked, "Are you tied it up? I'm going to start pulling it up."

"Hmm." Ye Moxun responded with a sour face, then hugged the tree trunk and climbed up. In his previous life, he was strong and healthy, climbing trees was nothing to him, and nothing could be difficult for him. But now he could only grunt and groan and obediently hug the tree trunk to slowly climb up, and he still needed Song Tantan to give him a hand.

After Ye Moxun climbed the tree, he and Song Tantan sat side by side on the trunk. The latter handed him a whistle and said in a soft and cute voice, "Let's blow this whistle together so that Auntie and the others can hear us. I gave Auntie a whistle before, and she will respond when she hears it."

"Can Uncle and Sister Song hear us? What if they're not nearby?" Ye Moxun looked at the small whistle in his hand with doubt.

"Can't you think of something positive? Otherwise, do you have a better idea? Shout loudly? What if that attracts wild animals and bad guys?"

"The whistle will also attract attention."

"I can't worry about that now, I need to find my aunt first." Song Tantan turned around and blew her whistle.

A whistle rang out, echoing throughout the mountains. In the quiet night, the echo effect in the valley was so amazing that Song Tantan was overjoyed. As long as her aunt was on the mountain, she would definitely be able to hear her whistle.

After blowing for a while, Song Tantan felt her mouth getting sore. She stopped and questioned Ye Moxun, "Why didn't you blow? You made me blow all by myself. I'm very tired."

"Now it's my turn to whistle, you take a break." He wasn't that stupid to have a whistling duet with her; taking turns was the only way to last.

After the two finished their rounds of playing the flute, still without a response, Song Tantan frowned. "Could it be that Auntie and Uncle Zhong are really not nearby? That shouldn't be the case. Auntie told me that if we ever got separated, we should head south. We've always headed south, haven't we?"

“That’s right, so in theory, Sister Song and Uncle should be able to catch up with us. They’re faster than us, unless something unexpected happens.”

"Can you stop saying such discouraging things? Your aunt and the others will be fine. Shut up." Song Tantan looked like she couldn't accept reality.

"I'm just stating the facts, don't be angry. Let's keep whistling, and after a few more rounds, Uncle and the others will definitely hear us." Ye Moxun quickly tried to distract her and whistled energetically.

On the other side of the mountain, Zhong Qingyi opened her eyes alertly, listening intently to all directions, and gradually tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

Song Zhuiyan was jolted awake from her drowsiness, her last bit of sleepiness vanishing. She listened carefully for a while, then quickly stood up and said happily, "Brother Zhong, it's Tantan. This is our secret code."

She had wanted to blow the whistle before it got dark, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time. She guessed that it had been dropped during the fight last night. She could only wait for Tantan to blow the whistle as a signal, but she didn't hear the whistle until it was completely dark.

"It's right there, it sounds like it's on another mountain. Thank goodness for the good echo in the valley." Song Zhuiyan shook off her previous tension and fatigue, and her heart was at ease. Knowing that Tantan was safe, she was relieved.

"Let's hurry. Those rebel soldiers might have heard the whistle and are probably chasing after us. We need to find Ah Xun and Tan Tan before they do." Zhong Qingyi, holding a torch, also perked up.

More than an hour later, Song Tantan and Ye Moxun stopped whistling. They were young and their bodies couldn't keep up. Their instinctive physiological reactions made them want to sleep, and their eyelids kept drooping.

"I can't sleep tonight, I can't sleep even if I don't grow taller, finding someone is the priority," Song Tantan said firmly, taking out two bottles of energy drinks from her spatial storage. "Here, drink a bottle of Yellow Bull to perk yourself up, rest for a while and then continue."

"Tantan, I need to sleep for a while, I want to sleep." Ye Moxun was too weak to hold on any longer, so he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.

Considering his health, Song Tantan didn't force him. She said softly, "I'll get you a small blanket to cover yourself with, so you don't catch a cold."

Just as I finished covering Ye Moxun with the blanket, I heard a voice coming from afar, "Tantan, A-Xun, where are you?"

Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi followed the sound of the whistle, but the whistle suddenly stopped, and they lost their sense of direction. They could only walk south while calling out to each other.
