The next morning
The group got up early and set off. Ji Huaichuan was still sleepy and dazed. He only heard them calling out a few names, which should be the people they were looking for this time.
"Stop shouting, it's getting more chaotic!" Aning suddenly shouted to stop them.
Several team members shut up obediently, and Wuxie continued to look for a signal with the walkie-talkie.
At this time, team member Lao Cao said, "We have piled up at least twenty stones here, and we can't see the end. How big is this in here?"
"If nothing goes wrong, we will see the exit in another ten days or so," said Ji Huaichuan.
“There’s a sound!”
Aning walked around with the walkie-talkie and came back and said excitedly.
"They should be nearby. Someone pressed the intercom button, and only here can we receive the signal. They must still be alive! Everyone, take out your intercoms and find out where the signal is coming from."
…
In the camp, Zhang Qiling sat on a mat and stared at the entrance of Devil City, wondering what he was thinking.
Hei Xia Zi sat next to him, drinking the hot water slowly. Zhang Qiling picked up another wooden bowl and drank all the water in it, then stood up and walked to the entrance.
Hei Xiazi saw Zhang Qiling's intention and followed him, saying, "It's getting dark again. Let me go with you to find them."
Just before departure, the walkie-talkie in Zhang Qiling's hand suddenly made a sound.
"Hey, bro, can you hear me?"
It is an innocent voice.
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but just moved closer to him and the walkie-talkie.
"There is a signal in the Devil City, and we are still looking for people." Wuxie continued.
"Where is Xiaochuan?" Zhang Qiling asked.
"Ah? Oh oh oh, Xiaochuan'er is here too, don't worry."
"Give him the walkie-talkie."
"Zhang Qiling?" Ji Huaichuan said after taking Wuxie's intercom.
"Um"
"Everything is fine here. I found a place sheltered from the wind to sleep last night. I had the compressed biscuits Wuxie gave me for dinner. They were a bit dry, but they contained water..." Ji Huaichuan spoke slowly, narrating what happened the night before.
Zhang Qiling listened carefully through the intercom, and responded from time to time to show that he was listening.
"It's just that the clothes are a little dirty." Ji Huaichuan's tone sounded a little regretful.
“There are new ones.”
Hei Xia Zi was watching Zhang Qiling from the side. This guy's mouth corners had never been lowered since the person on the opposite side changed. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he has no foresight.
"Okay, okay, I have to hurry on my way. I won't talk to you anymore."
"good"
The sound of the intercom disappeared, and Zhang Qiling turned around and sat back on the small stool. Hei Xiazi followed him back and said jokingly, "Don't worry now, your little wife won't get lost."
Zhang Qiling just glanced at him, picked up the bowl and drank some water without saying anything.
Xie Yuchen came over and sat on another small stool, and asked casually, "Aren't they back yet?"
"Yes, they found the signal and are looking for people," said Hei Xia Zi.
"Devil City is so big, and they didn't bring any supplies, so they shouldn't be in trouble..." Xie Yuchen was a little worried.
"Well, it's no big deal. As long as they send out a signal flare, we have to rush there." Hei Xiazi laughed.
After saying that, he took out a box of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice and asked, "Hey, who wants to eat?"
"Give me one portion." Xie Yuchen said listlessly.
"No, you don't eat green peppers." Hei Xiazi smiled and smelled the aroma of the fried rice in a mean way.

…
Let’s talk about Ji Huaichuan and his group. As they were walking, they came to a bend and followed the road. They saw a huge ancient ship stuck on the mountain wall behind the rock layer. The signal came from there.
The scene before them deeply shocked them. Zhaxi kept chanting "Buddha bless you" and then suddenly said, "Evil child, it's an evil child, there's an evil child in the boat! The legends are all true, we can't go any further!"
Ji Huaichuan listened attentively and heard some strange sounds in the wind. The ship they saw should be the funeral ship. Thinking of this, Ji Huaichuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but his happiness lasted less than two minutes before the smile froze on his face. He heard that sound again.
"Xiao Huaichuan, we will meet soon~"
This time he was sure that he had not heard it wrong. It was that man's voice. It seemed that someone had broken the seal and released him.
Ji Huaichuan said to Aning in a serious tone, "I need to go to that ship. There is something I'm looking for in it."
Aning looked at Ji Huaichuan. From the beginning of the team formation until now, she had never seen Ji Huaichuan like this.
"You can't go, you can't go! The evil boy has been around for three thousand years, and can kill people in the blink of an eye. You can't go on the boat, otherwise you will die!" Zhaxi stopped him loudly.
Aning couldn't stand Zhaxi's expression, so she grabbed his collar and said, "What are you afraid of? It's just a boat. Can it eat you up?"
After saying that, he grabbed Zhaxi and led the way towards the ancient ship.
"Aning, don't be impulsive..." Wuxie called out to Aning.
The rest of the team members couldn't help but whisper about it. Ji Huaichuan didn't want them to delay his work, so he explained, "The evil child that Zhaxi just mentioned is a charlatan from the Zhou Dynasty. This charlatan was cruel and vicious, and did all kinds of evil.
He fooled the king of the time into not only appointing him as the state teacher, but also sending his favorite youngest son to be his disciple. The charlatan also took advantage of this to get in touch with the Zhou Dynasty nobles.
Later, by accident, the charlatan met the younger son's older brother and began to deceive him with sweet words. The younger son tried to stop him many times, but he failed to stop his brother from falling in love with the charlatan.
Later, the charlatan's purpose was exposed, and he kidnapped the younger son as a hostage. The elder brother couldn't bear it, so he went to find the charlatan alone. The charlatan wanted his brother to be exchanged for his younger son. The elder brother agreed, and then the charlatan killed his brother in front of his younger son.
The younger son fainted from excessive fright, but the charlatan kept his promise and sent the younger son back. The king sent people to ambush the charlatan, but in the end, they were both beheaded.
After waking up, the younger son only knew that his brother's body had been hidden by the charlatan and that the charlatan was also dead.
Many years later, the youngest son accidentally heard that the charlatan had turned into an evil spirit and buried himself and his brother together.
After that, it often pretended to be a child's voice to deceive and kill people. As the story spread, people started calling it the evil child.
Ji Huaichuan's hands tightened unconsciously, his eyes darkening. He then continued, "But later on, it was sealed by a powerful being, and there was no news of it. So you don't have to be so scared. It happened thousands of years ago. Even if the evil child was there before, he would have turned to ashes by now."
After hearing Ji Huaichuan's words, everyone looked at each other, still hesitant.
"Okay, those who don't dare to come, just wait here. And you, Zhaxi, stay here obediently. If you dare to sneak away, don't even think about getting out alive!" Aning said.
"I'll go up and take a look. You guys find a place to camp here and send them a flare."
Seeing Aning about to leave, Wuxie quickly said, "I'll go with you!"
"Count me in." Ji Huaichuan also said with a smile.
