Chapter 316: Last resort

Early the next morning, Shen Jie just woke up from his sleep and was a little worried about whether he would miss the time agreed with Ximen Zuo.

The room was very dark, almost no different from late at night.

I don’t know whether the bed was too thick or the temperature was not high. He was woken up by the heat several times last night.

As soon as the window was opened, the wind blowing on my body was obviously not as cold as yesterday.

The world outside the window was completely shrouded in a gray haze. He could only vaguely see the roof of the two-story shop opposite.

Although there isn't much light in this sky, it's obviously not all that late at night.

He put on his clothes in a hurry. When he thought about today's journey, his heart was still a little fluttering. It had been a long time since he felt so excited about a long journey.

The restaurant was not far from the inn where he lived. He walked through a long street, entered a small alley and turned left to reach another long street with undulating terrain.

It must have rained last night. The ground seemed to be covered with a dark color, and some small puddles reflected the dim light from the lanterns on the roadside, as well as the glowing mist. It really looked a bit like a terror. A strange street in a horror movie,

People who walk here are likely to encounter some unexpected deaths.

Shen Jie didn't expect that he would become the first one here. He looked inside through the crack in the door of the restaurant and could vaguely see the light of the lantern.

He took a deep breath and looked at the invisible thick fog. It really felt like he was far away.

He walked down the long street on the left. The terrain in that direction was on an upward trend, all the way to the end of the street corner where he couldn't see.

When a person stays in this place, the feeling of emptiness deep in his heart makes him unable to help himself and sinks deep into it.

All his magical power and power were forgotten by him.

The longer he stayed, he even imagined seeing the female figure named Ye Qianqian walking over.

The picture was so real that if he didn't understand how it came about, he would have been deceived.

When the sky is bright, walk on the vast land with a group of people.

A man walked out from a small alley on the right side of the long street, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhou Jue.

"Why are you here so early?" Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly the appearance of the man standing at the door of the hotel.

Behind Zhou Jue was a woman wearing a cotton coat embroidered with large red flowers.

"My dear friend, I am probably the same as me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the money after time passes."

When Zhou Jue came over, the woman beside him was still flexing her hands. The temperature outside was still quite cold this morning.

"I'm afraid that the time has passed and I won't be able to go out and play." Shen Jie looked at the two of them.

Zhou Jue instantly remembered what the young master said yesterday, "I thought you were joking yesterday, but I didn't expect you really thought like this."

"Of course, I especially like to see the world everywhere. Is this your lady?" Shen Jie asked.

"Madam doesn't count. There's no such thing as a madam from a poor family like ours. She's just a bitch." Zhou Jue said with a smile.

This woman is not ugly either, even though she looks bulging in such a thick cotton coat, it can be seen that she has a good figure.

She was standing aside from Zhou Jue and looked at Shen Jie with some evasive eyes.

Shen Jie thought to himself that they seemed so loving. How could he, a man, be willing to take on such a dangerous job?

"How many children do you have?" Shen Jie asked.

"Two sons, one was born the year before last, and another one was born in July this year."

When he said this, he had an honest and honest smile on his face.

"I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. Recently, I've been worried about not having enough money to eat. If I can get the gold from Ximen, my two sons will be much better off in the future." Zhou Jue was thinking about saving this money. If you use it, you may not have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law for your two sons in the future.

"This journey is so dangerous. You still have to protect yourself. Being together as a family is better than anything else." Shen Jie reminded.

"It's nothing you told me. If it's really dangerous, you'll come back. Our family depends on you." The woman frowned worriedly and whispered in his ear.

At this moment, she was particularly afraid that something would happen to her husband, so she held her hand with a lot of force.

With Shen Jie's ears, he could hear her small voice clearly.

"Don't even think about it. If I didn't go, our little son would be so seriously ill now. You want him to die!" Zhou Jue really couldn't bear what she said. .heart, but when he thought of his youngest son at home, he knew that he had no choice but to make this decision himself.
