Chapter 33 I hate deception the most!
Ji Yunzhan took Cen Yan out of the forbidden forest.
He thought again and again, and still couldn't help but confess: "There is a formation set up in the forbidden forest. If you don't know how to break it, you will be trapped by the formation and can't get out. Next time you come to find me, don't barge in rashly. There is a rope at the entrance of the forbidden forest. You only need to shake the rope, and I will know that someone is coming and will come to find you. I will tell you where the rope is later."
"Okay." Cen Yan nodded.
This was indeed consistent with her previous guess.
She was curious about who set up these formations.
But since Ji Yunzhan didn't say anything, it meant that he didn't want to tell her, so she naturally didn't ask any more questions.
When the two of them reached the entrance of the forbidden forest, Ji Yunzhan told Cen Yan where the hidden rope was.
"The trap you fell into yesterday can actually be avoided."
He raised his hand and pointed at a big tree next to the trap. There were three rough carvings on the tree. "As long as there is such a mark, there must be a trap nearby. You should pay more attention next time. If you see such a mark, you should test it before taking each step to see if there is a trap ahead."
"So that's how it is." Cen Yan looked suddenly enlightened.
She had never noticed the markings before.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that this forest seemed to hide too many secrets.
She entered the forbidden forest and originally thought that there was nothing mysterious about it. But now she realized that after the original veils of mystery were lifted, new secrets were looming.
The two talked and walked for nearly an hour before they finally reached the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is Guhe Village where Cen Yan lives, as well as several other large and small villages.
It was almost noon at this time.
There were two villagers chopping wood and digging wild vegetables on the mountain. They were very surprised when they saw Cen Yan and a strange man appear.
"Cen Yan, why did you come back just now? Your father fainted last night while trying to find you! I don't know if he has woken up now! You should go back and report that you are safe!" the two people reminded.
"What? My dad fainted?" Cen Yan thought about how Cen Dahai came out to look for her despite the heavy rain last night... She immediately became anxious and had no time to think about it. She quickly said to Ji Yunzhan, whose expression had slightly changed, "Ji Yunzhan, I'm going back first!"
After saying that, she ran home in a hurry.
When the two villagers heard Ji Yunzhan's name, they looked at each other.
They had heard the name before.
Seeing Cen Yan and Ji Yunzhan coming over from the mountain together, his expression immediately changed.
"Excuse me, why would Cen Yan's father go to see her in the rain? Didn't her father find her a stepmother, and she even gave birth to a son?" Ji Yunzhan was full of doubts.
"Yes, but her father Cen Dahai has always loved his daughter, not to mention her stepmother Li. Who in the village doesn't praise Li for her virtue and how she treats her stepdaughter Cen Yan better than her own daughter? Cen Yan didn't come back last night, and the couple must be worried to death! It rained so heavily last night, and Cen Dahai went out to look for her!" said the villager.
"So, Cen Yan will never treat her stepmother harshly, and her father will not ignore her and show no concern for her just because he has a son, right?" Ji Yunzhan seemed a little unsure and asked again and again.
"Of course! It's true that Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen of the Cen family treated the second branch harshly, but Cen Dahai and Mrs. Li of the second branch treated Cen Yan very well! Everyone in the entire Guhe Village knows it!" The villager answered with certainty.
"What about Cen Yan and Wei Zan's marriage? Are they getting married soon?" Ji Yunzhan continued to ask.
"Of course! Who in our Guhe Village doesn't know how deep Wei Zan's feelings for Cen Yan are? Especially yesterday morning, before Cen Yan went up the mountain, Wei Zan made a special trip to her house to talk to her. He also loudly told Cen Yan many sweet words that he would definitely marry her and let her live a good life! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, that's so sour. My wife scolded me and said that I didn't know how to love my wife like Wei Zan did..."
"Yes, now everyone in Guhe Village knows that Wei Zan is deeply in love with Cen Yan, not to mention Cen Yan. She was very satisfied with this marriage to begin with. Now that her face is disfigured, she is probably afraid that Wei Zan will despise her and break off the engagement with her! Now that Wei Zan has expressed his true feelings, Cen Yan will definitely marry him!" The two villagers were discussing this matter excitedly.
"...I understand! Thank you!" After hearing these words, Ji Yunzhan took a deep breath to control his emotions that were about to be suppressed.
He finally confirmed that he had been deceived by Cen Yan!
She spoke so pitifully last night, saying that her parents had a son again, and that even if she died in the Forbidden Forest, it would not matter...
This was simply to make him sympathize with her so that he would agree to cooperate with her!
Ji Yunzhan recalled how she spoke eloquently last night. At this moment, he felt that everything she said was false. She had ulterior motives and was trying to use him!
Maybe she was sent by Wei Zan to harm him again!
He is really stupid too.
How could I believe the lies of someone who was engaged to that beast Wei Zan?
Who knows, Wei Zan might be feeling smug right now, waiting to see how stupid he gets after being tricked!
As he thought of this, a ball of angry flame suddenly burned fiercely in Ji Yunzhan's heart.
What he hates most in his life is deception!
Ji Yunzhan clenched his fists, stared at the direction where Cen Yan left with a deep look of hatred, and then turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute." The villager stopped him and looked him up and down. "Your name is Ji Yunzhan? Are you the relative of Wei Zan from Weijia Village? The one whose legs were broken and thrown into the forbidden forest? You are still alive? Your legs have been healed? How did you survive?"
A series of questions came out of the villagers' mouths curiously.
Ji Yunzhan was of course in no mood to answer him, so he immediately said with a cold face and a very bad tone: "What does it have to do with you?"
He left after saying this.
"So, since Cen Yan didn't come back last night, did he spend the night with you?" However, the villager didn't care at all when he was treated with a cold face, but asked meaningfully.
"..." As soon as Ji Yunzhan saw the malicious look on his face, he knew what dirty things were in his mind. He opened his mouth to clarify for Cen Yan, but when he thought of Cen Yan's deception of him, he just sneered heavily, did not explain, and no longer paid attention to the two of them, and walked back to the Forbidden Forest.
Although he didn't say a word, he didn't deny it either.
In the eyes of the two villagers, this was recognition.
The two of them got together, laughing and talking about something, mixed with some dirty jokes.
Seeing that it was getting late, they returned to their respective homes and exaggerated the story of what happened when Cen Yan and Ji Yunzhan, who had been missing for a day and a night, returned from the mountain together.
