Holding Meng Nian in his arms, Chen Cheng sat in the "O" he had carved, staring blankly at the sky.
Although it felt strange to be held by Meng Nian, it was better than nothing after all, and it could be considered as psychological comfort to Chen Cheng.
Intuition told Shen Cheng that this place should be unusual.
There are lush green grass, warm breezes, clear ponds, and trees covered with green leaves.
There are also tasteless mysterious fruits and dreams about the body that completely violate the laws of nature.
The reason why the rescue team has not arrived is probably not a problem with the Institute of Biological Sciences, but a problem with Shen Cheng.
"I can't...stay here forever..." Shen Cheng said to himself with a melancholy look on his face.
At this time, Meng Nian lowered her head and wrote and drew on the account book for a while, and then showed the contents to Shen Cheng.
——Shall we go pick fruit together?
Looking at Meng Nian's expectant eyes, thinking that it was almost noon, Shen Cheng smiled and nodded: "Let's go, together."
After all, Shen Cheng had left a distress signal on the ground. Even if the rescue team really found this place, they would not be unable to find him.
After saying that, Chen Cheng let go of Meng Nian, who then stood up, skipping ahead and leading the way, while Chen Cheng followed behind Meng Nian.
After walking for a while, the sparse trees in the field of vision gradually became denser.
Although the trees were densely covered, the interior was still dead silent, without any sign of life, no birds singing, and no insects chirping.
Shen Cheng felt more and more weird.
Maybe it’s because of the winter?
But the environment here has nothing to do with winter.
Soon, Meng Nian ran under a tree.
Chen Cheng, who was following behind Meng Nian, raised his head and saw that the tree was full of the red fruits that Meng Nian had brought back before.
Seeing that the tree was quite tall, Shen Cheng grinned. Now it was his time to show his abilities.
When it comes to climbing trees, Shen Cheng has full confidence.
However, after standing under the tree, Meng Nian simply pressed her little hands on the trunk and then closed her eyes.
Before Shen Cheng could react, the fruits on the tree fell to the ground one after another as if they had developed self-awareness.
Shen Cheng was stunned at first, then he quickly jumped up and down to catch the fallen fruits.
From time to time, the fruits on the tree stopped falling. Shen Cheng counted the fruits in his arms, and there were exactly ten, no more, no less.
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Cheng turned to look at Meng Nian, and saw that Meng Nian's little face was full of smiles, without any smug look, as if she was simply happy for helping Chen Cheng.
Is this... the power of dreams?
Chen Cheng blinked. That’s right. Otherwise, how could Meng Nian bring the fruits back from such a tall tree by herself in the past?
"You did a great job, very impressive!" Chen Cheng first praised Meng Nian with a smile, then frowned and asked, "But if you pick fruits like this every day, won't you be hit by falling fruits?"
Hearing this, Meng Nian took out the account book and wrote on it for a while, then turned the contents of the account book to Shen Cheng.
——Sometimes I get hit by fruits, but it doesn’t hurt much.
“…”
His heart twitched slightly, Shen Cheng put the fruit on the ground, reached out and rubbed Meng Nian's hair, and said softly: "Let's pick fruits together in the future. It would be bad if you got hurt alone."
Meng Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, looking very happy.
"Let's eat here at noon? After eating, let's go for a walk inside together." After thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng suggested.
The rescue team was slow to arrive, and Shen Cheng couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He had to find a way to get out on his own.
You can't just sit there and wait for things to happen.
Meng Nian nodded, then sat down, picked up a fruit, wiped it with the hem of her dress, and then started eating happily.
Originally, Meng Nian would eat the fruit directly after picking it up, but Chen Cheng warned her to pay attention to hygiene, so Meng Nian would wipe it before eating it every time.
Seeing Meng Nian wiping the fruit with her white dress, Chen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly: "You can just use my coat to wipe it, don't dirty the dress."
Upon hearing this, Meng Nian shook her head repeatedly, her face full of resistance.
She treasured the coat that Shen Cheng gave her very much and refused to let it get even slightly dirty.
Seeing this, Shen Cheng sighed helplessly, sat down on the ground, picked up a fruit, wiped it, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
During this time, Shen Cheng discovered that Meng Nian seemed to be staring at the scarf around his neck while eating.
After swallowing the fruit pulp in his mouth, Shen Cheng pointed at his scarf and said with a smile: "Wen Yuanyuan gave it to me. It's very beautiful, isn't it?"
When Chen Cheng told Meng Nian about the outside world, he told her about Wen Yuanyuan.
Meng Nian's cheeks were slightly puffed up, and he nodded repeatedly without swallowing the fruit in his mouth.
In Meng Nian's eyes, Shen Cheng's scarf and the things Shen Cheng gave her should be the same, and they are very important things to her.
After filling his stomach, Shen Cheng took Meng Nian’s hand and continued to move deeper.
Meng Nian didn't seem to walk much deeper, and from time to time she pointed out some scenery that seemed very strange to her to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng also accompanied Meng Nian, occasionally telling her some small stories, playing with Meng Nian while conducting investigations along the way.
The deeper he went, the more disobedient Shen Cheng felt.
Along the way, he discovered that the density of trees here... seemed a little too regular?
It was this excessive regularity that made Shen Cheng feel even more uncomfortable.
It feels like this environment... is artificially created!
Soon, Shen Cheng reached the end of this area.
Looking at the equally steep and towering rock wall in front of him, Shen Cheng sighed.
It seems this is a dead end.
How about... try going to the other end again?
Suddenly, Meng Nian seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly broke free from Chen Cheng's hand and trotted to the bottom of the cliff.
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly caught up with Meng Nian: "Meng Nian, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Meng Nian did not respond, but stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone wall, with his eyes closed, as if he had just picked fruit.
From time to time, there was a sudden roar from the cliff. Chen Cheng was startled and quickly picked up Meng Nian and retreated several steps.
The moment Shen Cheng just stood firm, the roar gradually stopped, and the rock wall that Meng Nian had just touched suddenly shattered into a big hole, and a cave appeared in front of Shen Cheng!
Chen Cheng held Meng Nian in his arms, frowning, and stared at the hole for a moment. After confirming that there was nothing else unusual, he put Meng Nian back on the ground.
Holding Meng Nian's hand again, Chen Cheng said to her very seriously: "Next, let's go into the cave together and take a look. No matter what happens next, you must follow me closely and don't run away alone. If there is anything, you can tell me first. Got it?"
Meng Nian and Shen Cheng looked at each other for a moment, and noticing the worry and concern in Shen Cheng’s eyes, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
