Late at night, because a group of spiders suddenly appeared from inside, Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai had the opportunity to go inside the tent to rest, instead of being fed mosquitoes outside. What was strange was why Old Hei would leave two women of unknown origin in their tent.
Old Wu initially disagreed with leaving the person behind, but after being pulled aside by Old Hei and having a few words spoken to him, he agreed. However, the others still couldn't understand it.
Yue Jiu Nian knew that those people didn't trust her, so she didn't have much contact with them. She and Yue Jiu Zai rested in a corner inside the tent, putting on a pitiful and helpless act.
After letting Yue Jiu Nian and the other woman into the tent, Lao Hei said to them, "Oh, you two are pitiful. Don't go up the mountain at night anymore, be careful of danger. How about this, I'll give you this tent, we'll go sleep somewhere else."
Upon hearing his words, Yue Jiuzai said gratefully, "Big brother, you are all so kind, thank you!"
Old Hei, looking like a nice guy, took Old Wu and left, along with the others, leaving the tent to the two women.
After they all left, Yue Jiu Nian secretly used magic to dry her soaked clothes, then said to Yue Jiu Zai, "So? What do you think of the kindness of those good people just now?"
Yue Jiuzai was also using magic to dry her clothes. Hearing Yue Jiunian's words, she sneered and said, "What do you think? Heh~"
"Hey, don't be like that. They at least left us a tent. At least we won't be fed mosquitoes at night."
Yue Jiu Nian said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
After tidying up his clothes, Yue Jiuzai went to lay down on the floor to continue sleeping. After all, he had only been asleep for a short while when he was woken up by the heavy rain and chased away by spiders. If he didn't go to sleep now, it would probably be dawn.
Yue Jiuzai, expressionless, tidied up the bedding on the floor and lay down, saying, "Sigh~ A dog is a dog, it will never change its habit of eating shit, so don't think that some bad people can become good people."
Yue Jiu Nian laughed when she saw Yue Jiu Zai's expression. She said, "Oh, don't be like that. Even though they want to use us as pawns, we don't necessarily have to be so obedient. You know, our 'guns' can go off accidentally!"
Actually, when Lao Hei and Lao Wu were whispering to each other, they had overheard their conversation clearly, which is why they knew why Lao Hei had asked them to stay.
Since ancient times, there has been a custom of using living creatures to scout the way when 'going underground'. Generally speaking, those 'earth rats' like to bring some small animals down to the ground to scout the way for them.
Of course, there will also be some people of poor character and with bad intentions who will send living people to scout ahead. This kind of scouting work is very dangerous, so people who use living people to scout ahead are not good people.
The reason Lao Hei asked Yue Jiu Nian and the others to stay today was actually to use them as scouts, since they hadn't brought any small animals.
Both Yue Jiuzai and Yue Jiunian have excellent hearing, so when they heard that Lao Hei had kept them behind to scout ahead, they sneered inwardly. If it were anyone else, they might really be doomed. However, Lao Hei and his group were unlucky to have run into Yue Jiunian and her group, so they would definitely do a "good job" in scouting ahead.
"Oh well, whatever, whatever. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
Yue Jiuzai turned over and faced away from Yue Jiunian, saying, "It's already very late. If you don't go to sleep, it will be dawn."
Yue Jiu Nian nodded and said, "Okay, actually I was just thinking about how to pretend to be tricked and follow them tomorrow. Although we really want to follow them, we have to act it out convincingly."
Inside another tent, Lao Wu, Lao Hei, and the others were having a meeting because they all wanted to know why Lao Hei had left behind two women of unknown origin.
Old Wu picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth, intending to have a smoke. However, he searched his pockets for a long time but couldn't find a lighter. So he said to Old Hei next to him, "Brother, do you have a light?"
Old Hei glanced at him, then took out his lighter and said, "Smoke less."
After he finished speaking, he said to the others, "Aren't you all wondering why I kept them here? Let me tell you, we forgot to bring a big rooster with us this time, so you understand now?"
At first, everyone was puzzled as to why Lao Hei would do this, but now that they heard his words, they all understood. So that's why they kept them here. But after figuring it out, they had another question: how could they get them to go with them willingly? After all, they were just lost on the mountain and would definitely want to go down when it got light.
"But Brother Hei, they definitely have to go down the mountain tomorrow. How can we get them to come with us?"
Soon, someone raised questions about Old Black.
Old Hei naturally understood their concerns. He said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll go and tell them tomorrow that we know the way. We'll have them follow us, and when we get close, we'll just arrest them."
Old Hei had already come up with a plan, and he was just waiting for Yue Jiu Nian and the others to fall for it the next day. Of course, Yue Jiu Nian and the others were also trying to figure out how to keep up, so this group of people with their own ulterior motives all achieved their goals on the second day.
