the next day
Ji Huaichuan slowly walked out of the tent, stretched his muscles, and met Wuxie and Jie Yuchen who were packing their luggage while strolling.
"Good morning, Xiaochuan!" Wuxie said.
"Ah? Good morning, Wuxie." Ji Huaichuan was not fully awake yet and his reaction was a little slow.
"Have you packed your luggage? Do you need our help?" Wuxie asked.
"Packing? Where are you going?" Ji Huaichuan hadn't figured it out yet.
Xie Yuchen came out of the tent, took the last bag of luggage and put it in the car, then said to Ji Huaichuan: "We are about to leave, you haven't packed yet?"
"Should it be...tidy up?" Ji Huaichuan wasn't sure. Hadn't Xiao Lingzi always been in charge of this? He hadn't been there this early in the morning, so he should have finished it...right?
Seeing his uncertain look, Wu Xie held his forehead and sighed, saying, "Come on, we'll go with you and take a look. Maybe we can help."
"Okay," Ji Huaichuan nodded.
As a result, Ji Huaichuan took Wuxie and Jie Yuchen around twice but still couldn't find where his tent was.
"Xiao Chuan'er, you can't find the way again, right?" Xie Yuchen joked.
"Impossible, the campsite is so small, there's no way we can't find it." Ji Huaichuan shook his head and muttered softly, "That shouldn't be the case. I remember coming here right at this location. Could this tent have grown legs and run away on its own?"
Just when Ji Huaichuan was racking his brains to figure out where the tent was, Zhang Qiling came from a distance.
"Brother!" Wuxie waved to Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling quickly walked up to Ji Huaichuan in two steps and nodded to Wuxie and Jie Yuchen as a greeting.
Then he said to Ji Huaichuan: "Let's go."
"Since everything is ready, let's set off." Xie Yuchen said to Wuxie.
Wuxie nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Xiao Chuan'er, brother, let's go first."
Zhang Qiling nodded, and Ji Huaichuan also said: "Okay"
"Let's go." Zhang Qiling took Ji Huaichuan into the car.
There was also a black bear sitting in the car, with a piece of grass in his mouth, one hand resting on the door frame and the other hand on the steering wheel, tapping it.
Seeing Zhang Qiling coming back with his men, he couldn't help but teasing, "Did Dumb Zhang bring his young wife back?"
"Drive." Zhang Qiling ignored Hei Xia Zi's teasing. His face looked normal but his ears were a shade redder.
"Okay!"
Hei Xiazi drove up to Aning and the others and asked, "How do we get there, boss?"
"Zaxi, how do we get there?" Aning asked Zhaxi.
Zhaxi said, "There's a Devil's Town about twenty kilometers ahead from here."
"What is the Devil City?" Wuxie asked Zhaxi.
Ji Huaichuan also listened carefully, hoping that it was the Devil City he was thinking of.
Zhaxi explained: "I heard that it used to be a stone castle. A long time ago, it was a city. The people there were very hardworking and brave. But I don't know when it started, but the people there changed and became addicted to fun.
In order to save them, the gods in heaven transformed themselves into beggars and came to their city. However, those people not only did not treat the beggar well, but also humiliated him. In anger, the gods burned down the city, and the people in the city were buried under the ruins.
So, every night after that, there would be horrible howling sounds coming from that city. It was said that these were the screams of those people being burned by the fire.”
"Is it really that weird?" Wuxie was a little bit unconvinced. He still believed in science more.
"This is true!" Zhaxi emphasized it again when he saw Wuxie didn't believe him.
After listening to what Zhaxi said in the car, Ji Huaichuan was sure that this was the city he knew, the city where his master had massacred people...
"This is so weird, and you still take us with you?" Wu Laosi, the follower who almost had a fight with Zhaxi before, jumped out again and started shouting.
"You'll know the way once you get to Devil City. We're just camping nearby and not going in. Why are you shouting?!" Zhaxi retorted angrily.
"Okay, Wu Laosi, get ready and we'll set off right away. Notify me if anything happens." Aning said.
"Okay, then... where are you going?"
"The intercom battery is low. I'll go upstairs and find a car and use the car radio to contact Lao Gao and the others."
Aning turned to leave, but Wuxie said she wanted to go with her. Ji Huaichuan was furious when he heard this. How could he be absent from the fun? Of course not!
Ji Huaichuan tugged at Zhang Qiling's clothes and whispered, "I want to go too..."
Zhang Qiling looked at him silently and said, "Hurry up."
This was a rejection. Ji Huaichuan hung his head a little disappointedly. Fine, then I won’t go.
Seeing that they had to pack their equipment and couldn't leave for a while, Hei Xiazi got out of the car, walked over to Xie Yuchen and sat down, digging a hole with a tree branch. After digging for a long time, Xie Yuchen closed his eyes and ignored him.
"Hey, Master Huaer, you've kept your eyes closed for so long. Are you dead?" He picked up the kettle beside him and rinsed the sand off his hands, then continued, "It's good that you're dead. I'll drag you out for a sand burial in a while. It's pure natural and pollution-free, and can be preserved for a long time!" After saying that, he let people splash water on him in a mean way.
"Take your dirty hands away from me!" Xie Yuchen said in a heavy voice.
"I would rather die before you." Xie Yuchen said as he pulled his scarf to cover half of his face.
"Xiao Lingzi, you say... people like Xiao Hei really won't get beaten?"
Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling were not far from them and could hear everything clearly.
"I don't know, probably." Zhang Qiling said as he stuffed the kettle into Ji Huaichuan's hand: "Drink water."
"I've already drunk it." Ji Huaichuan tried to resist.
Zhang Qiling just looked at him without saying anything. Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't say anything again, Ji Huaichuan had no choice but to give in. This was his only trick, he would always keep silent.
"Okay, okay."
Ji Huaichuan opened the lid, took a small sip, and handed it back to Zhang Qiling. After waiting for a long time, he didn't take it, so Ji Huaichuan took it back and took a big sip. Only then did Zhang Qiling take the bottle away.
…
"Hello, I'm Wuxie, can anyone hear me?"
There was no other sound in response except the electric current.
"It's so noisy, turn it off!"
Aning was also a little impatient. The two of them had been trying for a long time, but there was no response at all.
"Do you really think you can find them this way?"
"Don't you want to find someone too?"
"I'm different from you. No matter whether I can find it or not, as long as I show my attitude here, people won't panic." Aning said.
"Wow, you are still the same Aning." Wuxie said with a smile.
"cut"
Aning rolled her eyes at him and turned to dig the wheel.
Wuxie had no choice but to pull down his goggles and go over to dig with Aning.
…
Xie Yuchen had been lying there for a long time. He coughed a few times and sat up. As soon as he stood up, Hei Xiazi handed him the kettle and said, "Here, drink some water!"
