Chapter 59 60. Midnight Fright
"Stop working so hard. Just find a place to rest will do." Gu Wenheng felt sorry for her dragging her tired body and still being so busy, so he quickly spoke out to stop her.
Jin Qianqian really couldn't hold on any longer. She placed some toiletries and food on the bed, turned around and went back to the hall outside, where her familiar bed and quilt were.
The two people who fell asleep separately obviously forgot that the flow of time here is different from that outside. When they were full of sleep and ready to continue to fight, they just stood there in a daze.
Looking up at the starry sky, the moon is just rising.
"Oh, look at my memory," Jin Qianqian slapped her forehead, "What should I do now?"
Gu Wenheng looked at the pitch-black darkness and said, "We can only endure it outside. Let's walk forward and find an open space to build a fire. It seems that we have to endure it until dawn tonight."
Jin Qianqian quickly took out a high-powered flashlight and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't think of this right away. But I did collect some charcoal and alcohol in my space."
Listening to the rustling sounds around her, Jin Qianqian got goose bumps all over her body. She no longer cared about being reserved and hugged Gu Wenheng's arm tightly.
"Is there a tent?"
Jin Qianqian's eyes lit up, "Yes, there are big and small ones, and I also have a small gas tank hot pot, which is just right for me to eat hot pot while killing time."
Gu Wenheng: “…” He felt a little jealous. This space was too convenient.
They found a towering tree in the dark and set up their tent under it.
"Apart from the fact that it's a bit creepy around here, it's really a good outdoor experience." With the tent surrounding her, Jin Qianqian felt a sense of security in her heart. If there was any disturbance outside, she could quickly bring Gu Wenheng into the space. Even if the speed was different, the worst that could happen was that they would just stay inside for a longer time.
Gu Wenheng leaned comfortably on the inflatable cushion. "If I forget what happened before, I would still think we are camping. If we can call a few friends, it will be even more perfect."
"Do I have the honor to do so?"
Jin Qianqian was so scared that she jumped up immediately and ran over to grab Gu Wenheng tightly.
Gu Wenheng was also startled by the sudden sound, and at the same time Jin Qianqian ran over, he stopped her actions.
I summoned up the courage to shout outside, "Who's outside?"
"My name is Guo Yurong. I happened to be passing by here. I heard you said you wanted to meet up with a few friends, so I came to introduce myself."
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian: "..." In the middle of the night, deep in the mountains and old forests, how could they pass by? This excuse is too far-fetched.
Jin Qianqian, "Could it be a forest monster?"
But it was obvious that the other party had good hearing. "I am a flesh-and-blood person, not a forest monster. Please don't worry, my two friends."
“…”
Gu Wenheng patted Jin Qianqian's hand soothingly, unzipped his pants and stuck his head out.
With the help of moonlight and the residual light from the incandescent lamp shining through the tent, Gu Wenheng could only see a black shadow standing there.
Before he could say hello, the other party dodged and came right in front of him.
"So the entrance is here. This thing is really strange." Guo Yurong looked at the dark blue tent curiously.
Gu Wenheng looked at the long shadow behind him through the light and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is an atheist, he and Jin Qianqian were able to come to this unknown dynasty, so it is possible that some monsters appeared.
Gu Wenheng simply unzipped the tent and gestured with both hands to invite the other party in. The other party was not polite and stepped in with a swagger.
"This is truly a work of ingenuity, wonderful, wonderful!" As soon as Guo Yurong entered the tent, she felt that her eyes were too busy to take in everything. She looked up at the incandescent lamp, and then stared at the small pot that ignited on its own without firewood.
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian also saw each other's face clearly. The 1.8-meter tall man with a rough face, the robe and the sword made the word "knight" flash in their minds at the same time.
"I didn't expect that you have such a good taste and can live so comfortably in these deep mountains and forests." Guo Yurong then turned to look at them, but was slightly stunned when she saw their young faces.
"I just don't know why you passed by here so late at night?" Gu Wenheng emphasized the word "passed by".
Guo Yurong took a deep breath of the butter aroma in the tent and licked her lips without caring about her image. "I heard that you wanted to invite your friends, so I came here specially to recommend myself. I wonder if I have the honor?" She didn't say that she was attracted by the light.
Gu Wenheng, "..." Scoundrel!
Jin Qianqian: "..." Scoundrel!
"Our meeting is fate. If you don't mind the simple setting, please sit down and have a drink with me." Gu Wenheng made a gesture of invitation, and the other party sat down opposite them without any hesitation.
Shaking off her robe sleeves, Guo Yurong stared at the boiling hot soup. "The smell in this pot is so strong that it makes people want to pick up their chopsticks. I just wonder what you two are going to cook?"
Jin Qianqian moved over the stack of take-out boxes that had been piled up in the corner. She had asked the hot pot restaurant to prepare these boxes one by one.
Gu Wenheng, "My wife and I are preparing to have some hot pot. If you don't mind, we can share some."
Although Guo Yurong didn't understand what hot pot was, he understood that the other party wanted to invite him to eat together.
He quickly sat up straight, "Don't mind, don't mind. Look at you, you have meat and vegetables. I'm going to have a feast today."
Jin Qianqian carefully filled half of a box of fish balls and then put the chopped fish pieces in it.
Gu Wenheng helped put the dipping sauce into bowls and placed a plate in front of each person.
"I wonder if you like spicy food? Unfortunately, we only have spicy soup base here."
Guo Yurong looked at the red bottom of the pot, somewhat confused.
"Is this the spicy laver that came from the Western Regions?"
Gu Wenheng didn't understand what he meant. It seemed that in his memory, Yuansheng had never seen red peppers in the environment where he lived.
I just hope that after today's meeting, there will be no possibility for us to meet again.
Jin Qianqian, "Maybe! We bought it from a foreign merchant, but unfortunately we didn't buy much. After this meal, we can only think of a way to find that merchant later."
Seeing that the other party was staring at the pot, Gu Wenheng had no choice but to scoop up the fish balls with a spoon and put them into Jin Qianqian's dipping sauce dish.
He put some more into his own bowl and then signaled Guo Yirong to do as he pleased.
With an object to imitate, Guo Yurong immediately understood that hot pot is cooked and fished out immediately after being served, which is quite interesting.
Follow their lead and dip the food into the sauce dish before putting it into your mouth.
At first, I was not used to the numb feeling in my mouth, but soon my eyes opened and my hands moved faster.
Jin Qianqian watched the other person stuffing food into his mouth while huffing, and she couldn't help but speed up her hands. She didn't know where this foodie came from. At this speed, what would others eat?
Today is my birthday, I wish myself a happy birthday! I hope my new book will be recognized by everyone! I hope you will recommend it and collect it! I have limited writing skills, but thank you for not disliking it!
