Song Tantan turned her head away, pretending not to look at him, but secretly watched out of the corner of her eye to see what tricks he was up to. But seeing that they were about to set off again, why was this guy still leaning against the wall without moving?
She turned her head and took a closer look. No, this guy's face was deathly pale, and he was sweating profusely on his forehead. He was leaning there peacefully with his eyes closed. Something was definitely wrong with him.
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Song Tantan stepped forward and nudged him, but he still didn't respond. She grew a little anxious. "Ye Moxun, Moxun, wake up! What's wrong with you?"
Ye Moxun didn't intend to scare her. He blinked his long eyelashes and opened his eyes, saying in a low voice, "Tantan, I'm hungry, thirsty, weak all over, and have no energy at all."
Song Tantan: "..." If you want something to eat, just say so. Why make such a fuss?
Fearing that his weak constitution might not be able to handle it, Song Tantan didn't dare to joke about his health. She quickly took out a bunch of his favorite foods from her space and placed them in front of him. "Eat quickly, we still have a long way to go. Don't keep everyone waiting for you."
"Tantan, you're so kind." Ye Moxun's lips curled up as he ate quickly yet elegantly.
Well, he would never admit that he had taken some medicine earlier, which was why he looked so unwell. There was nothing he could do; his body was no different from a normal person's. Apart from his physical condition not being as good as that of a martial artist, making him prone to fatigue, he wouldn't fall ill.
But if he didn't pretend to be sick, Tan Tan wouldn't feel sorry for him. That girl is heartless. If she really planned to make him eat a pancake to get by, his stomach would be spoiled. How could he eat such hard food? The half he ate was barely swallowed.
My teeth are so tired.
Half an hour later, the two made up as usual, walking side by side, chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened, which amazed Wang and the others.
They really are like children; one moment they're fighting and bickering, the next they're back to being friends.
As evening approached, the system notification sounded: "Host, two Jianghu people have appeared 500 meters ahead at the 3 o'clock position. Judging from their appearance, their martial arts skills are quite high. Host, be careful."
"Who is this person?"
System: "...Hmm, they are the sworn brothers of the flower thief, the kind who haven't seen each other for many years. These two must have been chased by their enemies and had nowhere to go, so they followed their memories and came here. The flower thief told them the location of his lair."
Ye Moxun: "The roads in the deep mountains are not easy to find. How come they find them so easily? Isn't it a bit too easy?"
System: "They originally had more than two men; they brought more than thirty men into the mountains. The others were torn apart by wild beasts, and only two survived. They actually wanted to return by the same route and leave the forest, but they got lost. They kept going around in circles and ended up back where they started, unable to find their way out. They have been trapped for twenty days."
So this means that the group of people went into the deep mountains more than a month ago. It would take at least twenty days for them to get here from outside. Since they are not familiar with the roads, it would take them even longer, at least four or five more days.
The twenty-odd days of travel plus the twenty days of being trapped add up to more than a month, which is about ten days since they first returned to Songlin Village.
If these people hadn't been trapped, they probably would have already entered the village.
"Tantan is in trouble. Let's go find Uncle and Aunt Song." Ye Moxun grabbed her wrist and ran forward.
"Hey, why did they suddenly run away?" Guard Wang and Chen Ming were puzzled, but seeing that the two were leaving in a hurry, they probably discovered something.
Hearing the noise, Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan stopped and turned around. In particular, when Song Zhuiyan saw the two rushing over, she immediately thought that the system must have given some kind of notification.
Besides knowing that Song Zhuiyan had a spatial ability, Zhong Qingyi was unaware that Song Tantan also had a spatial ability, including that her nephew was bound to a broken system.
"Everyone, stop and be on your guard." Song Zhuiyan reacted quickly, then pulled Ye Moxun aside to talk, and Song Tantan went over with her.
Zhong Qingyi: "..." Why not bring him? Can't he listen?
"What happened to Ah Xun? What did the system say?" Song Zhuiyan asked in a low voice.
“There are outsiders who have come in. They are quite skilled. Go forward 500 meters and then turn right and go another 500 meters. They are in a formation there.” Ye Moxun’s expression was somewhat solemn.
"What the hell? There's even a formation? Who set up this formation?" Song Zhuiyan was completely bewildered by this fantastical and mysterious technique of formations. She only knew that it was very powerful and that ordinary people couldn't break it.
"It's not man-made, it's naturally formed, a masterpiece of nature." That's what the system told him. The system is broken, but sometimes it knows a lot.
System: If I hadn't been bound to the wrong host, I would have always been very powerful, and I would be in a state of despair.
“If we enter the formation, we’ll probably get trapped too, so we can’t go in,” Song Tantan said firmly.
"But we can't just leave those two alone. If the formation can trap them to death, that's fine, but if they escape the formation one day and enter Songlin Village, then the villagers will be in danger." The main reason is that the formation is not just a small space for intruders to move around in; the range of movement is quite large, and they can also hunt for food. Otherwise, those two would have starved to death long ago.
"Could we find something to pull them out, like fishing with a fishing rod?" Song Tantan had a somewhat whimsical idea.
Song Zhuiyan and Ye Moxun ignored her and were seriously discussing possible solutions. Meanwhile, Zhong Qingyi was quite annoyed at being left hanging for so long, as none of the three of them called him over.
Is he still their closest relative? Why are they isolating him?
So he walked over and coughed unhappily to remind them to stop.
But Ye Moxun acted as if nothing had happened and naturally pulled him over, telling him all about discovering that someone had broken into the deep mountains and was trapped in the formation, as well as their worries, "Uncle, you've come at the right time..."
Instead of telling him about the danger immediately, he pulled his fiancée aside to discuss it. What kind of behavior is this?
But whether it's Ah Xun or Xiao Song, they are his closest people. He can't bear to blame either of them. Forget it, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little grievance. Let's solve the problem first.
"Shoot it with an arrow, that should work, right?" It's just a formation, not an illusion. How could we possibly miss?
The method was simple and crude, but it was also the best method, so that was the decision.
Zhong Qingyi was the strongest and had the most accurate archery skills, so this task was naturally assigned to him.
The group traveled a little further, and then Song Zhuiyan instructed everyone to stay where they were and not to wander off, and to be wary of the dangers around them.
"The weaker girls stand in the middle. The rest of you, stand back to back and hold your weapons. Don't be careless. We'll be right back. No matter what sounds you hear or how loud the noise is, remember to maintain this formation. Don't leave for even a moment. Just take care of yourselves." This was an order, and Song Zhuiyan's tone was icy cold, just to intimidate them.
"Ah Zhu, Shui Sheng... you two keep watch. Anyone who dares to disobey will be poisoned unconscious. If there's any danger, the unconscious person is on their own." This means that once someone who disobeys is poisoned unconscious, no one will protect their safety.
