Chapter 26 Get Out!
On the way back, Ji Yunzhan could not stop hearing the aggrieved tone of the young lady's voice when she called his name.
He had a good memory and was quite sure that this was the first time they met.
But she seemed to have known him for a long time.
How strange.
Before he could figure out what was going on, there were sudden bursts of thunder above his head.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw dark clouds covering the sky. He knew that a heavy rain was about to fall. He did not dare to delay saving people any longer and hurried back home.
Ji Yunzhan took the rope and it started raining heavily on the way back.
The rain is heavy.
When he quickly came to the trap, Cen Yan was holding a basket on her head to avoid the rain. When she saw him coming, she immediately complained: "I told you I have a rope here, why did you insist on going back to get it!"
Ji Yunzhan felt angry and amused when he heard her say that: "Little girl, I came back specially to save you, and you still blame me?"
"I, I didn't mean that..." Cen Yan hesitated when she heard him say that. Her big watery eyes blinked helplessly, like a child who had done something wrong and people couldn't bear to blame her.
"I'll throw one end of the rope down and you tie it yourself." Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Ji Yunzhan didn't want to argue with a young lady. As he spoke, he untied one end of the rope and threw it into the trap.
"Ji Yunzhan, thank you for coming to save me." Cen Yan said with sincere gratitude and quickly tied the rope around his waist.
When he heard her calling his name, Ji Yunzhan felt that strange feeling in his heart again.
He frowned, said nothing, tried the rope, made sure she was tied firmly, and began to pull her out of the trap little by little.
When Ji Yunzhan came out, he took the raincoat with him. Seeing that Cen Yan's clothes were all wet, he took off the raincoat and gave it to her: "Put it on and go home quickly."
"But it's raining so heavily and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. Mountain floods and landslides have occurred here before. Besides, it's getting late. I'm afraid I won't be able to get down the mountain and it will be dark. I'm a little scared..." Cen Yan didn't want to go home and said miserably.
The purpose of her trip was Ji Yunzhan, how could she go home empty-handed without doing anything?
If that happened, she would definitely get a beating.
"I live in the forbidden forest, which is inhabited by jackals, tigers, leopards, and all kinds of man-eating beasts. Besides, what if I'm a bad guy? Wouldn't you be afraid if you go back with me?" Ji Yunzhan frowned at her and said this deliberately.
"You are scaring me." Cen Yan smiled softly when he heard him say that, and her eyes sparkled with a cunning light. "If you are a bad person, you can just leave me here and ignore me. How could you come to save me in the rain? Ji Yunzhan, don't lie to me, I know you are a good person, and a very good person!"
“…Okay then, come back with me first, and I’ll take you home when the rain stops.” Ji Yunzhan felt a little embarrassed by the young lady’s firm tone of praise.
He realized that he might be in a little trouble.
However, he was strangely unable to say no to her, so he could only agree reluctantly and put the raincoat on her, "Put it on."
"Ji Yunzhan, thank you." Cen Yan smiled sweetly at him.
Ji Yunzhan responded with a “hmm” and then ignored her and walked straight into the forbidden forest.
Cen Yan carried a backpack and followed closely behind him. Following in his footsteps, the two of them walked into the forbidden forest together.
After walking a few steps, Ji Yunzhan remembered something and turned around to say something. He saw her lowering her head and walking very seriously in her own footsteps. When she saw him stop, she raised her head and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just follow me closely and don't wander around." Ji Yunzhan shook his head, shook off the strange feeling that had emerged in his heart, and continued walking forward.
"Yes, I know." Cen Yan responded quickly.
This is what he told me when I went to the Forbidden Forest with him in my previous life.
The same is true in this life.
Cen Yan stared at his figure and looked at the road.
There were clearly no obstacles on the road, but he kept turning left and right as if he was avoiding something.
In the past, she knew little and could not figure out the tricks, but now, the knowledge in the book in the portable space was engraved in her mind, so she immediately thought of one thing - the formation.
I heard that the formation can trap people in one place and they can’t get out no matter what, just like being trapped in a “ghost wall”.
Cen Yan suspected that Ji Yunzhan was avoiding the trap in the formation.
I just don't know whether this formation was set up by him or by someone else.
Ji Yunzhan has always been a mystery to her.
How did he manage to survive alone in such a dangerous situation?
"We're here." Not long after, Ji Yunzhan's cold and distant voice sounded in his ears.
"Oh." Cen Yan responded, and when she looked up, she found a large courtyard in front of her. The old houses surrounded by mountains on three sides were exactly the same as what she had seen in her previous life.
In fact, she was very curious in her previous life.
Didn’t they say that no one lives in the Forbidden Forest?
Why would someone build such a large yard with so many rooms? At least a dozen families must have lived here.
"Have you been here?" Ji Yunzhan suddenly stared at her and asked.
"No." Cen Yan came back to his senses and immediately answered vigilantly.
Ji Yunzhan stopped talking and glanced at her face with suspicion.
If she had never been here before, why wasn't she surprised at all to see so many houses?
He suppressed his doubts in his heart, walked quickly forward, opened the gate, and motioned for her to come in.
Cen Yan followed him into the largest main house in the middle.
Before entering the door, she took off her raincoat and placed it on the side of the door.
"You stay here and warm yourself by the fire for a while." Ji Yunzhan lit the stove in the room and then went into the inner room.
The stove gradually became warmer.
Cen Yan sat next to him and his body quickly warmed up.
She saw a kettle on the table and clean water in a water tank in the room, so she fetched some water and boiled it on the stove.
When Ji Yunzhan changed into clean clothes and came out, he saw her looking relaxed and casual as if she was at home.
"How do you know my name is Ji Yunzhan?" he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I know." Cen Yan paused, knowing that this was a question that could not be avoided, so she simply looked at him directly, with a pair of clear and flawless eyes, and said, "I am from the old Cen family, and Wei Zan is my fiancé."
"The Cen family? Wei Zan?" Ji Yunzhan's face darkened when he heard that. "Get out of here!"
