"Me?" Xiao Wuyu gave a wry smile and did not answer, there must be some unspeakable reason.
Jian Ning didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions, so she silently drank the tea in her cup and then put it down.
"Brother Xiao, it's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer." He then stood up and headed out.
"Wait, young lady, poisonous miasma spreads here at night. You're from out of town, so you don't know. This miasma is very dangerous."
If accidentally inhaled, it can cause complete paralysis.
Only a four-leaf clover that grows in the swamp at the bottom of the cliff can cure this ailment.
The village we live in is the only place that is not shrouded in miasma, because there are formations left by our ancestors here.
It can resist the invasion of miasma, but unfortunately, after so many years of consumption, the spiritual energy in the spirit stones here is not much anymore.
It can only last for three to five years at most before the formation becomes ineffective.
At that time, everyone in our village will die.
That's why this village is called the Village Without Us, as if we never existed in this world.
Xiao Wuyu's tone was very calm, as if he was not among those who were about to die.
"Why don't I sense the presence of the formation?" Jian Ning had already paid attention to the surrounding environment when she came down from the sky.
"The formation will not be activated for a while."
During the day, the miasma doesn't come; it only comes at night, and there are some unknown wild beasts inside that are very aggressive.
Therefore, I advise you to rest here for the night. There are vacant treehouses nearby, and a stream with water; you can use it as you wish.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Xiao. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
After hearing his words, Jian Ning decided not to go out.
No matter how capable you are, you cannot fight against the power of nature. Before you have a clear understanding of the situation, it is best not to act rashly.
Xiao Wuyu smiled slightly and gestured for the guest to leave.
Jian Ning strode out of the treehouse and looked around.
Sure enough, there were several treehouses similar to this one. There was no sound of breathing inside, so they were probably uninhabited. I randomly chose one and moved in.
After trying to communicate with the immortal abode, they discovered that they couldn't contact it from here.
Perhaps it's because I'm in the exquisite treasure pavilion within the immortal abode, and the jade pendant space and storage bracelet can always be used.
Jian Ning finally felt relieved. As long as there was food and drink, there was nothing to worry about.
Inside the treehouse was only a small table, all handmade from bamboo. Jian Ning took out a flashlight and hung it on the roof of the bamboo house, immediately illuminating the room.
He took a serving of spicy crayfish and a can of beer from the space. He had just taken a sip when Big White's head poked its head in at the door of the bamboo house.
My eyes were glued to the crayfish in the basin, and I could feel my mouth watering.
"Come in if you like it. I still have some beer. These crayfish are really good, but I don't know if you can handle spicy food." Jian Ning had barely finished speaking when...
Big White darted in and sat down properly on the ground. Although it was incredibly tempted, it managed to restrain itself from reaching out to grab it; after all, it was a polite ape.
"Here, this is for you. Just peel off the shell and eat the meat inside."
Jian Ning then took out a plate of spicy crayfish from her spatial storage and placed it in front of Da Bai. She then handed it a large bottle of beer.
Eating is more fun with a group of people. Drinking alone is so boring.
Fortunately, she had Da Bai, the intelligent ape, with her. At this moment, she missed Huang Fugui terribly.
If I had known we'd end up in a place like this, I shouldn't have left Huang Fugui in the villa in the first place. He just keeps gaining weight and never does any work.
When she goes back next time, she will definitely take Huang Fugui with her wherever she goes. In critical moments, it can communicate with animals, so she won't have to guess what's going on.
Baymax is a very clever ape, and he quickly learned how to peel crayfish.
He ate one after another, and even imitated Jian Ning, picking up the bottle, tilting his head back, and gulping down a big mouthful of beer.
It was probably the first time I'd ever drunk it, because I choked and coughed for ages before I recovered.
However, his eyes brightened considerably. He pointed at the beer and gave a thumbs-up, indicating that he quite liked the beer.
It likes it.
So the man and the ape took turns eating.
It finished the beer in no time. Jian Ning didn't take any more out; she couldn't let the monkey drink. Otherwise, where would it find beer to drink after she was gone?
Big White is a sensible monkey. It ate about half of the spicy crayfish that was given to it, and then took the rest, along with the plate.
Jian Ning pondered that it was very likely that it was sent to Xiao Wuyu. After all, he had personally said that Da Bai was taking care of his daily life.
However, she didn't care. It was just a little food, and this place didn't seem like the apocalypse, so there shouldn't be a lack of food and clothing.
Sitting at the doorway of the treehouse, gazing up at the starry sky, the sky here seemed exceptionally high and distant.
The twinkling stars hung in the sky, and for a moment I felt as if I were in a world of cultivation, rather than the current apocalypse; it was a bit of a time-space distortion.
I wonder if Xiao Lingfeng will be worried when he discovers that he has suddenly disappeared.
Unfortunately, even the communication talisman can't be used now, because the two of them are not in the same space-time at all.
Big White scurried up again, carrying a bamboo basket filled with several kinds of fruit.
After gesturing wildly, Jian Ning finally understood that the fruit was a gift from Xiao Wuyu to thank her for dinner.
"Thank you, I really like it, shall we eat together?"
Jian Ning handed Da Bai a black fruit that looked like a large plum. It took it, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed it in one gulp, choking and stretching its neck.
It swallowed it whole without even chewing, just like Pigsy eating the ginseng fruit. It probably didn't even know what the fruit tasted like.
Or are all animals so uninhibited that they don't spit out the pits when eating fruit?
Da Bai stayed with Jian Ning until dawn before jumping down from the treehouse and running away.
Jian Ning hesitated for a moment, but still took the two bowls of beef noodles and went to Xiao Wuyu's treehouse.
I don't know if he hadn't slept all night, or if he's just used to sitting here like this. His hair wasn't messy at all. His gaze towards Jian Ning was very gentle.
"Brother Xiao, are you having breakfast? Braised beef noodles are absolutely delicious."
"Thank you. Your cooking skills are superb. You managed to make such a delicious dish out of that big red worm from yesterday. It's something I've never tasted before."
