When Luo Chen said this, Jiang Xian'er glared at him angrily. What did he mean by "she's here"?
Can't she come?
Are you trying to kick me out?
Fortunately, Luo Chen was skilled in understanding micro-expressions and had a good grasp of Jiang Xian'er's thoughts. He quickly added, "Your eyes are red. Did you just take a nap?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xian'er pursed her lips, and the anger in her eyes subsided.
You stupid idiot, you still know how to care about me.
"You didn't wake me when you got off the bus. I fell asleep while hugging the flowers, and then I suddenly saw a wild animal rush at me and bite me. Then I woke up, and then I got up to look for you, and then..."
Without that, would you be unable to organize your thoughts?
Luo Chen patted Jiang Xian'er's head. This girl still needs more comforting. After all, she's still a child. Hmm, Luo Chen glanced down and realized she's not so young after all.
"You said you saw a wild animal, what happened?" Men and women are different after all. Luo Chen's focus was on the mountain peak, while Mu Shiyu grasped Jiang Xian'er's main point very well.
"Yeah, I don't know. I just felt like a wild animal was biting me, and then I woke up. It must have been a dream." Jiang Xian'er glared at Luo Chen, then looked up pitifully when she heard Mu Shiyu's words.
"He's probably just too excited. It's his first time going out, so he's a little unaccustomed to it and might be having a dream. It's nothing," Luo Chen said casually, though he had some thoughts on his mind.
Being an innocent child, Jiang Xian'er was captivated by the scenery before her in no time.
"Wow, this is so beautiful! I've never seen anything like this before," Jiang Xian'er exclaimed, leaning on the railing and admiring the view.
Luo Chen and Mu Shiyu exchanged a smile.
Jiang Xian'er was like a flower that had always been carefully protected in a flower room, never experiencing any major storms. Of course, she hadn't really gone out much from childhood to adulthood.
Even when she went out, she always went with Jiang Tao, which resulted in her knowing nothing about the outside world.
So for Luo Chen and Mu Shiyu, these landscapes were nothing special, but for Jiang Xian'er, they were a unique sight.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Jiang Xian'er retains a purity that others do not possess.
There are gains and losses, but Jiang Xian'er will also experience gains and losses in the future.
"Brother Xiao, Miss Mu, Miss Jiang, dinner's ready."
As darkness fell, the voice of the female mercenary came from behind.
Luo Chen turned around and said with a smile, "I know, Xiao Jiang."
"Go back now. After you finish eating, go inside and rest for a while. If we're leaving tonight, I'll come up and call you later."
Mu Shiyu and Jiang Xian'er nodded and walked forward one after the other.
"Wow, this is so delicious!" Jiang Xian'er said with a satisfied expression as she finished the last bit of food in her bowl.
"This food smells so good! How was it made?" Jiang Xian'er reached out and ladled out another bowl, looking up as she asked.
"It's just simple food, but I added a little bit of the six-leaf bone you picked," explained the female mercenary, Xiao Jiang.
"No wonder it smells so good! Sister, you're amazing! It's so delicious!" Jiang Xian'er praised as she ate.
As she spoke, the young woman, Xiao Jiang, blushed slightly. The fact that her cooking had been recognized by others was a great affirmation of her own abilities.
"Xiao, why aren't you eating?" Jiang Xian'er asked curiously, looking at Luo Chen sitting to the side.
"Don't you have much of an appetite?" Miss Jiang asked hurriedly, feeling a strong sense of disappointment after just being praised.
Luo Chen shook his head: "I don't have much of an appetite."
"Tch, Sister Jiang, don't mind her, ignore her and let her starve." Jiang Xian'er pouted, her little hands continuing to serve herself a third bowl of rice.
"Shiyu, don't you have any appetite either?" Mu Shanhai looked at his daughter and saw her staring blankly into the distance.
Mu Shiyu nodded and hummed in response.
Looking at the two of them, all the anger in Jiang Xian'er's heart transformed into respect for the food.
After dinner, Luo Chen instructed Xiao Jiang to take Jiang Xian'er and Mu Shiyu to rest inside the dilapidated building, while he himself would keep watch outside.
As night fell, Luo Chen lit a fire and wrapped his clothes around himself.
The temperature difference between night and day in this world is extreme; it can be unbearably hot during the day, but extremely cold at night.
"Xiao, you should go and rest for a while too." Old Tie walked over with a smile.
He liked this young man very much. Although they didn't have much contact, Lao Tie treated Luo Chen just as well.
"No need, old buddy, you shouldn't be keeping watch at your age. Let the younger generation do it." Luo Chen leaned against the wall and smiled faintly.
"You brat, I'm not that old! That woman was saying the other day that my 'silver spear' was still strong!" Old Tie cursed, clearly unconvinced.
"Tch." Luo Chen pouted, then asked, "Did Mu Shanhai and the others contact you?"
Old Tie nodded, threw a pile of wood into the fire, and said, "I told you, I walked that road once back then, but so much time has passed, I don't know if it's still passable."
"So what do you mean?"
Lao Tie glanced at Luo Chen: "Before we left, I asked other people, and some said that road was still passable. It was fast, but it wasn't necessarily less dangerous than this main road."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen pondered. He did not want to bring Mu Shiyu and Jiang Xian'er into danger. Although that route could reduce the time by more than half, what would be the point if the level of danger increased?
Old Tie chuckled and continued, "I don't know what you mean, kid. That road is definitely not safe to take, especially with two women in tow. It's going to be a lot of trouble."
“That road is full of wanted mercenaries. Do you think we can get through safely once we go through there? That’s why I refused.”
"Hey buddy, you're on the right track now. I believe what you said about the silver spear never falling..." Luo Chen was very satisfied, then frowned and looked outside.
Seeing this, Lao Tie immediately became alert and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Go wake them up and tell Xiao Jiang to take good care of Mu Shiyu and Jiang Xian'er." Luo Chen's expression was serious as he looked at the street a hundred meters away. It was pitch black, but his Grandmaster-level vigilance made him sense something was amiss.
Lao Tie immediately realized the importance of the matter and hurriedly ran upstairs.
"By the way, tell Qi Tianlong that no matter what happens, stay with Mu Shanhai and the others. Tell Xiao Jiang to prepare the medicine."
"Medicine?" Old Tie looked puzzled and confused.
Seeing this, Luo Chen explained, "On the way here, I kept feeling like someone was behind me, and then I found the Six-Leaf Bone. I suspect that this thing appeared at the wrong time. Anyway, it's better to be careful."
The old man nodded, took his gun, and went upstairs.
Luo Chen pulled a fire stick from the fire, then picked up the gun beside him and walked toward the roadside.
Actually, he wasn't entirely sure if there was anything wrong with the flower, but he just felt it was strange, since he hadn't seen that kind of flower along the way.
Therefore, he didn't eat anything that night, only some dry food after dinner.
He was ridiculed by Jiang Xian'er.
