Not long after entering the Devil City, Zhaxi acted sneakily. He squatted down and pretended to tuck in his trouser legs. When they were not paying attention, he turned around and prepared to slip away. However, he was discovered and stopped by Aning after he had turned around and taken only two steps.
"Don't force me anymore. We really can't go in here. People will die!" Zhaxi said anxiously, pointing in the direction of the Devil City.
Seeing this, Wuxie advised: "You have to believe in natural science. There are not so many magical things in this world."
"What? What do you know? In 1997, a scientific expedition team entered the Devil City. All the members of their team disappeared. They sent people to search for two whole years and only found a few dried corpses! The rest of the people have not been found until now." Zhaxi said while putting his hands on his hips and gesturing.
Aning looked at him and said seriously, "If you want to explore, you can't be afraid of death. Besides, we have GPS positioning and navigation, so there is nothing to worry about."
Then he walked to Zhaxi's side, patted his shoulder and said softly: "The sooner we find it, the sooner we can return to the camp. You are so filial, you probably don't want to make your grandmother worry, right?"
Zhaxi stared at Aning for a long time, but was finally defeated because he saw a hint of murderous intent in Aning's eyes. Finally, he compromised and said, "You can go in, but I have one condition. I want to place a pile of stones at each fork in the road as a mark. If we see a pile of stones while walking, we must turn back!"
"no problem."
Until they finished talking, Ji Huaichuan remained silent, his presence was very low, and he didn't look in a very good state.
Wu Xie carefully noticed that something was wrong with Ji Huaichuan and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Chuan'er, are you still not feeling well?"
Ji Huaichuan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about something."
"Are you thinking about my brother?" Wuxie asked.
"…No"
"You still say no? If not, why are you blushing?" Wuxie teased.
"Hot"
Ji Huaichuan's whole body was soft except for his mouth.
Afraid that Wuxie would ask more questions, Ji Huaichuan immediately changed the subject and asked, "Aren't they finished yet?"
"Ah? Oh, that's it. Zhaxi wanted to sneak away, but was caught by Aning. The two of them negotiated in a friendly manner, and Zhaxi agreed to continue walking together." Wuxie said.
"Why didn't you agree earlier? You had to try to be clever. Now that you're caught, you'll have to follow me obediently." Ji Huaichuan muttered softly.
"Xiao Chuan'er, what did you just say?" Wuxie didn't hear because the voice was too soft.
"Nothing." Ji Huaichuan didn't want to say more. He and Wuxie didn't get along well, but for some reason Wuxie was very outgoing and insisted on coming over to talk to him.
"Oh..." Wuxie nodded thoughtfully.
Several people walked all the way in. Every time they reached an intersection, Zhaxi stopped to pile up stones. He did this for about four or five times, and it was already completely dark.
"Aning, let's find a place to rest. We've been walking for a long time. It should be dark now, right?" Ji Huaichuan asked.
Aning glanced back at him and said unhappily, "No one will spoil you when Zhang Qiling is away. Stop your temper. If you keep saying this kind of nonsense, I'll kill you right now."
Ji Huaichuan frowned and said, "Ms. Aning, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me."
Aning was about to speak when she found that Ji Huaichuan had grabbed her neck. Although he didn't use force, the threat was there. During the whole process, she only felt a light breeze.
Aning narrowed her eyes slightly. This man's strength was so terrifying that her lifeline had been grasped before she could even react. If they had come to a real fight, she would have probably died a hundred or eighty times already.
"Ms. Aning, I say, now, stop moving forward and find a sheltered place to rest, do you understand?" Ji Huaichuan said softly in Aning's ear.
Aning slowly moved her head to show that she understood, and breathed a sigh of relief the moment Ji Huaichuan let go.
"Everyone, find a place to rest!" Aning shouted.
Aning's men didn't dare to make a sound. They moved swiftly and quickly found a sheltered place and lit a fire.
Ji Huaichuan walked slowly to a clean place and sat down, continuing to quietly be his invisible man, but now no one dared to look down on him anymore.
Aning sat down not far from Ji Huaichuan, carefully looking at the person who had been ignored by her from the beginning. It must be said that if you just look at the appearance, this person is definitely a simple little white rabbit, but in fact he is just a black sesame dumpling with a very black heart.
"Ms. Aning, have you figured out anything?" Ji Huaichuan asked with his head tilted.
Aning turned her head away awkwardly and said, "Ahem...just now, my attitude was wrong."
Ji Huaichuan chuckled and said, "It's okay, but you are the first person who dares to talk to me like this and still survives. Who knows, you might have better luck in the future."
"I'll give you my good wishes."
The fire in the bonfire gradually grew higher, and the previous tense atmosphere disappeared. Two or three of us sat together and chatted, without any of the tension we felt when we first entered the Devil City.
"Hey, Xiao Chuan'er, how did you just swoop in behind Aning and grab her? Teach me!"
Ji Huaichuan was about to fall asleep while roasting the fire, but Wuxie came over and asked Ji Huaichuan questions with both words and gestures, which woke him up instantly.
Ji Huaichuan pinched his brows and said helplessly: "After we go back, I will take you to see my master and let him teach you." It was just right to fill the old man's stomach.
"Really? Xiao Chuan'er, you are so nice!" Wuxie excitedly hugged Ji Huaichuan and shook him for a long time, making Ji Huaichuan dizzy.
Ji Huaichuan struggled to pull Wuxie away and said, "Wuxie, it's getting late, go to bed."
"Okay, then I'll sleep next to you!" Wuxie nodded, his eyes wide open, flickering in the firelight, looking very beautiful, worthy of being a fresh and unworldly young man, a weak lady like a lotus emerging from the water.
Ji Huaichuan nodded perfunctorily and said, "Okay, okay, you can sleep next to whoever you want. As long as they don't disturb his sleep, I can hold you in my arms."
Wuxie got permission and happily lay down next to Ji Huaichuan. She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes happily.
After a while
"Xiao Chuan'er, isn't it uncomfortable for you to lie down?"
"No"
"Are you cold then?"
"No"
"Then I can..."
"No, shut up and go to sleep!"
Before Wuxie could finish, Ji Huaichuan interrupted her angrily. Wuxie closed her mouth in disappointment and slowly fell asleep.
The others also went to bed early, and the voices faded away, leaving only the crackling sound of burning wood in the fire and the whistling of the wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fire that was about to go out suddenly started burning again, but the flame became strange. Not long after, it returned to its original state.
