I sensed it carefully for a while, and then spoke carefully: "I suspect there is corpse energy around me. If it is a trap set by Xuanjiucao on purpose, then we will not leave... I can't explain it clearly, but since I separated from Xuanjiucao, my heart has not fallen for a moment. I have a deep understanding of his insidiousness and cunning. In his eyes, all sentient beings are humble existences. Whoever he wants to deal with will use everything that can be used, of course, including sacrificing more lives."

Still claiming that "Xuan Jiucao" does not want them to get involved in the battles in the Xuanmen. What's more, even if I say Liu Qingshui's name, they won't care. What they care about is just how to get out of the dry rice bowl.

"Hahaha, haha..." Xiao Duan, who was not far away, couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this. As he smiled, he pointed at me disdainfully and said, "You mean, you are talking about the grass that poisoned us. Kill all of us just to deal with you. You are worthy of all of us to take our lives in, hahaha..."

The other people also looked at me with sneering, as if they didn't take my words to heart. To be precise, they didn't take me seriously.

I sighed and said, "I know you have a deep misunderstanding about me, but what I am talking about is the truth. Moreover, this does not conflict with everyone's belief in survival. We must leave here immediately."

"I object."

Xiao Duan was the first to stand up and retorted loudly: "I object to this kid's idea. I think he kept saying that he left here just to keep walking. He also said before that he could tell what water he could drink and what water he could not drink. Once we couldn't walk and there was no water source available, he would find a way to escape. Maybe he was fine, but we might be exhausted before we could get out of here."

"I agree with Xiao Duan, the leader. It's night now that we can't see clearly. Why don't we stop and rest. It's not too late to leave after dawn. I also have doubts about the boy's words. He must have wanted to drag us down and get out of here."

The grasshopper standing beside Xiao Duan also spoke up to Xiao Duan's words. Then, everyone expressed their opinions one by one, all of whom agreed with Xiao Duan and the grasshopper's opinions one by one.

Only Li Rui, the leader, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, everyone find a place to rest first, and we will leave after dawn."

As he said that, Li Rui walked to me and whispered: "Come with me."

I wanted to say something, but Li Rui pulled it aside and left everyone's sight. After Li Rui took a deep breath, then looked around and then slowly spoke: "Actually, I have the same view as you. I believe that that person will not poison my team members for no reason. There must be some ulterior secret hidden in it. Although I don't know what the secret is, my intuition tells me that it must be related to you."

Finally, I heard a different voice. I felt a little relieved and said solemnly: "Captain Li, if you believe what I said, please don't let everyone pause here. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a change."

Li Rui stared at me tightly, looking at me, and slowly withdrew his gaze. She smiled bitterly and said, "I believe your words, but I believe my team members more. You have seen it just now. They are very hostile to you, and everyone is exhausted. If I speak to you now, maybe the little bit of my prestige, the leader, will disappear under the gradual consumption of their will. Now only everyone can overcome all difficulties. Mr. Qi, please understand my difficulties. In fact, it is not a big deal to be this leader. But if they mistakenly think that I gave up on them and trusted only an outsider, I really can't imagine what will happen in the future, I'm afraid that I have not met a real enemy, and we are inside..."

After listening to Li Rui's meaningful words, I seemed to have figured out some things. Some people are in a certain position and must focus on the overall situation. Even if they understand it in their hearts, they must also pretend to be confused. Although I figured this out, I was still a little lost. Why can't people be more honest and pure? Alas, it's said that they think it out, but in fact it adds a lot of confusion to myself...

Li Rui looked back at the direction where everyone was, and then said cautiously: "There may be a real danger tonight. If Mr. Chuqi can help us, I hope to help you. As the team leader, I will be grateful."

I shook my head helplessly. It seemed that Li Rui had insisted on staying here for a night. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay..."

Back to the place again, I saw that everyone had found their own place to settle down. Some had tidied up the surrounding tree holes, some had cleared a clean area, and some had lie down on a big rock. In short, there were all kinds of strange things. Li Rui and I also found a clean area not far away to sit down. I knew that there would be no comfortable sleep tonight. Except for the other team members, Li Rui and I were not sleepy at all.

Seeing everyone falling asleep, some were already snoring loudly, Li Rui showed a gentle smile slightly, and the eyes of those young people were like a kind mother looking at her child.

Speaking of why Li Rui started working as a woman, Li Rui said frankly that she was 30 years old this year. Ten years ago, she had a happy family, a husband who loved her and treated her well. At that time, she was twenty years old and had just become someone's new wife. But the day after the wedding, his husband joined the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. Fighting the Japanese was something that men dreamed of doing at that time. If anyone had a fight against the Japanese, the whole family would benefit from it, and it would be glorious...

A year later, the front line asked someone to send a message back. Li Rui's husband died heroically on the front line. Li Rui fainted on the ground. After waking up, she cried. But she did not blame her husband, but thought that her husband was a hero, at least in her mind. She silently learned cultural knowledge, hoping that one day she could serve the country like her husband. Until the country was liberation a few years ago, she could finally spend a good time with her husband in the future, but she still had to live her life. She worked as an expedition team in Jilin Province because her husband's grave was also there.

Without her own children, Li Rui treated the young men on the expedition team as big children. Every one of them here knew that each of them was the children of poor families, and their relatives were hurt in the War of Resistance, but they all had a positive spirit. Li Rui said that watching them talk and laugh, playing and making trouble every day was the happiest thing for her.

As I said this, I saw a happy smile on Li Rui's face, and somewhere in my heart was deeply touched. Looking back on my days since I was a child, I was much luckier than them. At least I had the peace of mind of the whole village, at least I survived.

Li Rui looked at me with a smile and said, "Where are you? You are not old, why did you become a Taoist priest?"

"I……"

I grabbed the back of my head with embarrassment, and smiled, and was about to speak, but suddenly I was stopped by a scream below.

"Oh, something crawled on my back, hurry up... it hurts, ah,."

First, he shouted loudly, then he screamed in pain, unable to hear who it was. He saw a figure rushing out of the tree hole, then fell straight to the ground, scrambling and rolling, like a grass carp jumping on the shore, rolling constantly,

With this shout, everyone jumped up in shock. Li Rui and I also ran to the front. Li Rui shouted in a mess: "What's wrong? What's wrong, Xiao Duan, what's wrong,"

After hearing what Li Rui said, I looked over carefully. The one who fell to the ground and "tant to make a fuss" was really a small part of me. At this moment, he looked like a pig's liver. He held his chest with both hands and jumped up suddenly, and then fell heavily to the ground. White foam gradually emerged from his mouth, gurgling and not knowing what to say, his expression was extremely painful.
