Although I am a bit dumbfounded, I believe this.
Because it is in line with human nature.
I stood at the door and weighed it for a while.
Although Monan is only a county town, there are only a few desolate places.
The only place I can think of is Qilin Mountain.
I tried not to think about the bears in the mountains. I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet: "Let's go!"
Going into the mountains late at night is a taboo.
Firstly, the road conditions are unfamiliar and it is easy to get lost.
Secondly, most of the poisonous substances in the mountains are released during the day and night, making them more dangerous.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Ji Canghai took out his machete without saying a word, cut off a large branch, and used it as a hiking pole to explore the way.
I took off my belt, locked Chen Jiayan's wrist with the metal buckle, and held the other end in my hand.
Xiaobai, this heartless bastard, doesn’t know what we are going to go through, so he only cares about chattering and running around.
"Plop!"
Xiaobai jumped up high, and when he saw again, he had fallen into the puddle.
My head suddenly felt big.
Ji Canghai stretched out his branch and wanted to pull him out, but I stopped him.
I bent down and said one word at a time: "Please, be quiet."
"Okay, okay, okay." Xiaobai splashed in the water a few times: "Save me first."
I winked at Ji Canghai, and Xiaobai finally climbed out.
"Where are we going?"
Apparently, the puddle didn't shut up the chatty one.
I responded impatiently: "Mushroom hunting!"
"oh."
He nodded in agreement, not sure if he was serious about it.
When I got to the halfway point, I took out my compass and looked at it carefully.
Feng shui is not limited to looking at the shady house, but the most practical thing is to look at the surrounding environment.
I'm not looking at Feng Shui, but I want to determine the geographical location of this place, such as leeward and sunny.
Xiaobai came over and asked curiously: "Are we going to rob a tomb?"
I stared at the compass and responded softly.
"Erkai, beat him."
"No, no, no, I won't talk anymore."
I looked around and said, "That's it."
Ji Canghai threw down his backpack and put the electric baton into my hand.
"I'm going to build a shed."
I quickly stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Ji Canghai blocked me with a smile and winked at Chen Jiayan.
"You're not good at exerting yourself, so just rest!"
After a pause, he pointed his finger at Xiaobai: "Follow me!"
"I-I'm not good at it either!"
Ji Canghai squeezed the knuckles of his hands and made a squeaking sound: "***..."
"Go, go, I'll go!"
Seeing Xiaobai's aggrieved look, I couldn't help but smile.
"Erhai, don't always bully him."
"rest assured."
After they left, Chen Jiayan and I were left talking to each other silently.
She sat on the ground with her knees bent and unbuckled her belt: "Those things I said in the water prison, just think of me as nonsense."
I was stunned and nodded silently.
I know why Ji Canghai insisted on dragging Xiaobai away.
He was leaving some time for both of us.
After a long while, she lowered her head and suppressed another sentence: "From now on, you will no longer be taking care of me."
"I deserve it."
I forced a smile and said, "We are all together and we should take care of each other."
"No." Chen Jiayan looked up at me: "You gave me the feeling of home, but you are unwilling to give me a real home."
"It's like a carrot in front of a donkey. It's always in front of you, but you can never get it."
I didn't expect her to make her words clear again.
I know very well how much courage it takes for a girl who has always been introverted to say these words.
I was speechless for a moment and was silent for a long time.
Forget it, Ji Canghai freed up all the space.
How about I be more straightforward so as not to make each other uncomfortable.
"I never thought that a girl would be willing to get close to me, I..."
Before I could speak, Chen Jiayan interrupted: "I never thought anyone would be willing to take care of me."
I sighed: "You can have a better choice, there is no need to waste time on me."
"Yeah." She grabbed the grass on the ground and nodded: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."
I originally wanted to say it all, but she suddenly stopped.
The night wind passed by, leaving me speechless.
I have never envied those powerful people who have everything going smoothly.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt envious.
At this time, Ji Canghai and Xiaobai came back holding armfuls of tree branches.
I looked at Xiaobai who looked like a mud monkey and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did you beat him again?"
Ji Canghai glared at him helplessly: "You're such a heartless thing, you have to go pick the fruit."
Xiaobai stretched out his dirty hands and handed a few fruits to me.
"Try it."
An inexplicable warmth arose in my heart, and I nodded gratefully: "Thank you."
