That kind of spring atmosphere exudes a certain attraction to all men.
This is a biological instinct, just like a female animal in estrus, which can always attract nearby male animals.
I threw the cigarette butt in my hand into the fire and watched it burn up in the flames.
But out of the corner of my eye, I unconsciously glanced at Lin Xiu'e's plump figure.
This instinct is really annoying and funny sometimes.
Lin Xiu'e seemed to notice the strange look in my eyes. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled softly: "It's still early, how about you go in and take a nap?"
"ah?"
I looked at Lin Xiu'e with a little surprise. I didn't understand for a while. What did she mean by going in and taking a nap?
"I mean, if you're sleepy, go ahead and take a nap. Xuanxuan and the others haven't gotten up yet. I'll call you when the porridge is ready."
Lin Xiu'e said, looking back at the tent behind her.
"No, I...I'm not sleepy."
I shook my head quickly.
This was obviously my fault. It turned out that Lin Xiu'e wanted me to go in and sleep with Chen Xuanxuan and the others.
I didn't want to walk into that tent at this time, otherwise even if nothing happened, Lin Xiu'e would probably think of that.
"You kid, why are you still shy?"
Lin Xiu'e rolled her eyes at me and said, "We are all adults, auntie can understand."
If she hadn't said this, I would have thought it was nothing.
But now that she said this, I suddenly felt quite embarrassed.
Although everyone is indeed an adult and can understand it, after all, there is still a gap in seniority, right? It was really embarrassing for me to let her see my restless mentality.
"I... let's not sleep for now. I won't be able to sleep for long. Lying down will make me sleepy and hard to get up."
I smiled awkwardly and said.
At this time, Chen Yunqi opened the tent and came out. When he heard my words, he looked at me in surprise and asked, "You haven't slept all night, then? Can you still have the energy to go on the road during the day?"
"Don't worry, I just need to meditate for a few hours and my mental state will be restored."
I quickly said seriously.
Once Chen Yunqi comes out, he can no longer have those improper thoughts.
Lin Xiu'e was also a little embarrassed. After looking at me, she quickly took a small spoon and stirred the white porridge in the pot.
"Is that okay? How about the two of us take turns keeping watch tonight, so that you can get some sleep and have a good rest."
Chen Yunqi suggested.
"That's okay too."
I nodded and agreed.
Chen Yunqi handed me a cigarette, then sat by the campfire and chatted with me.
Lin Xiu'e concentrated on cooking the porridge and stopped talking.
There were some words that she would definitely be embarrassed to say in front of Chen Yunqi.
After a while, the porridge was ready.
I went into the tent and called out Chen Xuanxuan and Chen Xiaoxiao. Then we had breakfast together, then packed up and set off again.
In this way, we drove during the day and rested at night, traveling all the way over the mountains and ridges, from the north of Penglai Island to the south.
At this time, more than half a month has passed, and the food and water we brought with us will soon be completely exhausted.
During this period, I even drank from mountain spring water several times.
Along the way, several of us are now unkempt and ragged.
In a few days, I will probably turn into a savage.
Mainly because in order to save unnecessary trouble, I didn't dare to set foot in inhabited places along the way, and I avoided all the villages I encountered.
The wizards in the north are not easy to get along with, and with the gathering of evil spirits between heaven and earth, some people will always be influenced by evil spirits, thus showing their evil nature.
Therefore, it is best not to interact with strangers, so as not to cause necessary troubles.
After we climbed another mountain, a bright light finally appeared in the distance.
Although the world is now dark, the lights shining in the city can be seen from a distance.
Moreover, there is no human habitation in this hundred-mile radius, so the lights are very eye-catching.
It's even easier to spot than during the day.
I quickly led Chen Yunqi and the others towards the city.
By the time we arrived at the city gate, it was already evening.
It looks like there won't be any need to camp out tonight.
It's just that the city gate is closed now, and guards can be seen patrolling the tower.
I quickly shouted a few times, and the people above finally noticed us, the unexpected uninvited guests.
But they didn't dare to open the city gate for a while, and it took them a long time to finally recognize me.
After all, the extraordinary methods I displayed when I helped them defend the city must be fresh in the minds of many people, and they will certainly not forget it.
It's just that I look so unkempt now that they can't recognize me for a while.
After the city gate was opened, the city guards took us directly to the tomb keeper's mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Mo Yan greeted him directly. I don't know how he knew about my arrival.
I guess someone came over first to report it.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and Mo Yan and I were somewhat emotional.
He immediately started making arrangements to set up a banquet for me to welcome me, and he also said he would have a few drinks with me.
But now I have no intention of drinking with him. After all, I haven’t seen Chen Ling and the others for a long time. Let’s just treat them as my promiscuous relatives and friends. I definitely want to spend some time alone with my wife.
"Let's talk about drinking tomorrow. I'd better go see my wife first. I'll stay with you until you get drunk tomorrow."
I said, patting Mo Yan on the shoulder and giving him a look that said you know what I mean.
"I understand, let's drink tomorrow. I won't disturb you today. As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a wedding, haha!"
Mo Yan laughed heartily as he spoke.
When I took Chen Yunqi and the others to the quiet courtyard deep inside the mansion, Chen Ling and the others were already waiting in the courtyard, including my father and my mother, as well as Li Wenxuan and Li Mengmeng. They were all standing in the courtyard waiting. I.
This scene made me feel warm in my heart instantly. My parents are alive and my wife and children are healthy. Is there anything happier than this?
I stepped forward and hugged Chen Ling and the others one by one, including my father and my mother, who also gave me a bear hug.
As a result, my father was quite embarrassed and scolded me with a dark face.
"You are so old, why are you still acting like a child? Look how old your daughter is?"
I lowered my head and looked at Li Mengmeng. This little girl could already walk. She was standing there holding her mother's hand and looking at me with curiosity on her face.
