"Okay, then let's take a break and find some branches to roast and eat."
Chen Jie nodded and agreed with the two girls' suggestions.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
If you don't eat and drink enough, you won't have the strength to work.
"Yeah, there are eggs for you to eat."
Chen Yanyan suddenly became excited and looked at the egg in the cat's hand eagerly.
"You two take a rest and I'll go find some branches."
Chen Jie looked at the smiles on Chen Yanyan and Mao'er's faces, and his whole body was full of strength and motivation.
"Yanyan, you take the egg, Chen Jie and I will go find the branches."
Cat carefully handed the egg to Chen Yanyan, intending to help Chen Jie find branches together.
The more people there are, the greater the strength, and you can replenish your physical strength faster.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of this egg."
Chen Yanyan nodded and held the egg tightly in her arms, as if it were a treasure.
Soon Chen Jie lit up a fire, put the eggs on it, and let the fire bake slowly. The three of them sat around the fire to keep warm.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the three of them had only the fire in front of them to illuminate and bring a little warmth to everyone.
The roars and wailings of various animals could be heard all around. Hearing this kind of sound at night was particularly eye-catching.
"Captain, I'm a little scared."
Chen Yanyan licked her lips and couldn't help but move towards Chen Jie's position.
"Don't worry, I will take you out of here as soon as daybreak."
Chen Jie sighed and looked at Chen Yanyan.
Chen Yanyan nodded obediently and rested her head on Chen Jie's shoulder, like a coquettish girlfriend.
Mao'er kept staring at the flames. Seeing Chen Yanyan acting coquettishly, Mao'er suddenly had the urge to act coquettishly with Chen Jie, but in terms of character, Mao'er would never allow herself to do such a thing.
"Cat, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Jie shouted several times, but the cat ignored him.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how to get out."
Mao'er raised his head and looked at Chen Jie expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out of here, just be patient."
Chen Jie was afraid that Mao'er would act alone, so he could only calm Mao'er's heart first.
"I'm not in a hurry. In fact, I'm used to being alone. Even if I'm really trapped here, it doesn't matter."
Mao'er said frankly that she really didn't care much about whether she could go out.
"Cat, don't be so pessimistic! You have to believe in the captain, he is really powerful."
Chen Yanyan took the opportunity to praise Chen Jie and calm Mao'er's anxious mood.
"Well, the eggs seem to be cooked. Let's take a look."
When Mao'er saw two caring faces, she suddenly didn't know how to face Chen Jie and Chen Yanyan, so she had to use eggs to distract her attention.
Chen Jie took out the pebbles and lightly knocked on the egg twice. Looking at the cracked eggshell, Chen Jie stretched out his hand to open the top and saw the crystal clear egg white inside. Chen Jie felt a feeling in his stomach.
There was a gurgling sound.
"Captain, you are hungry too."
Chen Yanyan pursed her lips and snickered. Seeing Chen Jie's embarrassed look, Chen Yanyan thought Chen Jie was extremely cute.
"You, bad girl."
Chen Jie smiled fondly, reached out and slowly cracked some of the eggshells to expose some of the egg whites, cut them off with a knife, and distributed them to everyone piece by piece.
Being able to eat a warm egg on such a cold night is indeed a small happiness.
"This egg is the best egg I have ever tasted."
Chen Yanyan looked at the egg in her hand with a satisfied look on her face, feeling as if she had entered heaven.
"This egg is really delicious, but I don't know what kind of egg it is."
Cat nodded and felt that the baked eggs in his hand were particularly delicious.
"Haha, you guys really act like children."
Chen Jie also relaxed at this time and was immersed in the joy of eating eggs.
The three of them quickly finished an egg and touched their round bellies. Chen Yanyan showed a satisfied smile.
"Captain, we are so lucky to have such delicious eggs to eat."
Chen Yanyan looked at Mao'er and Chen Jie with a happy face and burped.
"You, whenever you see food, you get very excited."
Chen Jie shook his head and said helplessly.
"Chen Jie, did you hear any strange sounds?"
The cat is very vigilant. Even if she has just eaten, she is always alert to the surrounding environment, fearing that she will encounter a sneak attack by some kind of animal.
As soon as Mao'er's words came out, Chen Jie and Chen Yanyan immediately became quiet and listened nervously to what was going on around them.
I did hear some rustling sounds, which sounded very scary in the middle of the night.
"What kind of creature is it?"
Chen Jie looked in the direction of the woods with a suspicious look on his face, and felt something familiar when he heard the voice.
"Then, what is that?"
Chen Yanyan suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at the thing behind the cat with a look of horror on her face, her whole body seemed to be frozen.
Chen Jie and Mao'er looked towards the woods at the same time, only to see two golden eyes that were bigger than basketballs. The body of this object was relatively tall, almost two meters away, with two golden eyes hanging.
On the treetops.
"This..." Mao'er stood up immediately, quickly took a few steps back, and then stopped. Her heart was beating fast. She was really frightened just now.
"What's this?"
It took the cat a while to find his voice. Looking at the giant beast in front of him, the cat felt a little guilty. He felt that the giant beast's return here might have something to do with the eggs they just ate.
Suddenly, a huge head fell from the woods, its golden eyes staring closely at the broken eggshell on the ground.
"Go back quickly. This may be an animal like anaconda. It seems that what we just ate were its eggs."
Chen Jie exclaimed, staring nervously at the giant thing in front of him, and stepped back a few meters.
Suddenly there was a violent crashing sound, and then they saw big trees smashing towards the fire, and two trees hit them right where they were sitting.
"Run quickly."
Chen Jie exclaimed and quickly pulled the frightened Chen Yanyan and the cat and ran in the opposite direction of the woods.
Although I feel guilty, there is no point in apologizing now. This ferocious animal will not forgive them easily.
"Ah...Captain."
Chen Yanyan tripped on a stone and her whole body fell forward.
Chen Jie turned around and saw Chen Yanyan's fallen body. He quickly ran back two steps to catch Chen Yanyan's thin body. Seeing Chen Yanyan's pale face, Chen Jie had no intention of comforting Chen Yanyan and directly picked up Chen Yanyan's body.
Run towards the front.
"Ah...it scared me to death."
Chen Yanyan exclaimed. With her previous experience, she was not so scared now.
