When Xiao Baihe heard what the cat said, she was so frightened that she climbed out of the water and murmured.
"No, no, no, I'm coming out. I don't like creatures like water snakes."
Xiao Baihe walked ashore and watched the cat twist the snake into a twist, put it on the ground, and pressed it with a stone, feeling a little curious.
"Cat, why are you doing this?"
Xiao Baihe shook the water drops from her hair and looked at Mao'er curiously.
"Prevent it from escaping. If you kill it now, it won't be new anymore."
Mao'er picked up the clothes and started to put them on. The main reason was that she didn't have a dagger on her body, and she couldn't break the snake's head off with her bare hands. It would be too disgusting.
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Baihe nodded in understanding, wondering what Mao'er was going to do.
After getting dressed, Mao'er directly picked up the snake on the ground and walked towards Chen Jie's figure, followed closely by Xiao Baihe.
"Chen Jie, I'm here to give you extra food."
Mao'er walked to Chen Jie's side carelessly and said with a smile.
"Additional meal?"
Chen Jie turned his head curiously and saw a black snake in Mao'er's hand. Although it was not very thick, it was at least about two meters long. It looked like an adult snake at first glance.
"That's right, how about I give you extra food? Is that interesting?"
Mao'er said with a smile and handed the snake in his hand to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie reached out to take it, looked at the snake in his hand, and looked up at the cat.
"Then let me go and take care of it?"
After saying that, he glanced at Lily Xiao and saw that both of them were wet. Chen Jie suddenly felt the urge to take a bath.
"Go ahead, go ahead, it's better to leave this kind of rough work to your men."
The cat waved his hand and sat next to the fire. Looking at the fragrant and sizzling rabbit, he couldn't help but twitch his index finger.
She had just exercised and consumed a lot of calories, and now she saw such a delicious roast rabbit. She was indeed a little hungry.
"Captain, how about I go with you?"
Even though Xiao Baihe felt a little tired, she still wanted to stay with Chen Jie and cultivate a relationship with Chen Jie.
"No, you should rest here with Mao'er. I'll be back soon."
Chen Jie shook his head and motioned for Xiao Baihe to sit down and rest as well.
"Oh well."
Xiao Baihe nodded, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Mao'er handing him a rabbit leg.
"Eat."
Mao'er smiled tenderly at Xiao Baihe and handed the rabbit leg forward in his hand.
"Thanks."
Xiao Baihe reached out and took the rabbit's leg. She was a little curious when she saw the cat picked up the rabbit's head and started to chew it.
"Cat, do you like eating rabbit heads?"
Xiao Baihe looked at the fragrant roasted rabbit leg in his hand, put it in his mouth and started eating.
"I like it. I like eating rabbit heads the most."
Cat nodded, thinking of his favorite spicy rabbit head, which he had not eaten for a long time, and he really missed it.
Xiao Baihe watched the cat eating happily, and suddenly felt that the rabbit legs in his hand seemed to taste better.
After a while, Chen Jie came back, holding the prepared snake meat in his hand, and started roasting it.
"I left the rabbit legs for you, eat them."
The cat tore off another rabbit leg and handed it to Chen Jie.
"Thanks."
Chen Jie took the rabbit leg and began to eat it.
Seeing this from the side, Xiao Baihe actually felt like seeing an old couple. Especially the interaction between Chen Jie and Mao'er, it was like the atmosphere that only couples who have been together for decades can have.
After eating, the three of them continued on the road. This time they found that the road ahead was particularly difficult to walk. It was full of weeds, hiding the road.
"I'm walking in front, and you two are following behind."
Seeing this, Chen Jie got a thicker branch aside and held an ax in one hand, preparing to carve out a path for himself.
"Chen Jie, even if we have passed here, what should we do next?"
Mao'er stopped and looked at Chen Jie.
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Jie looked at Mao'er in confusion, vaguely knowing what Mao'er was going to say next.
"Actually, you know very well that this place is not suitable for us to live, isn't it?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie helplessly, wondering why Chen Jie was so persistent about this place.
"We can only search deeper now, and we can't always let everyone sleep in the ancient tomb."
Chen Jie gave a bitter smile and looked at Mao'er helplessly.
If there was a way to go, why would he force a way here?
"Why don't we change the direction and try over there."
Cat pointed to the left, and her intuition told her that there might be a treasure there.
"Why go there?
By feeling?"
Chen Jie wanted to know where Mao'er's confidence came from, otherwise why would he point directly there.
"That's right, just by feeling, how is it?
Do you want to try it?
Let’s see if my intuition is accurate.”
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I will believe you once."
Chen Jie nodded and chose to believe Mao'er without hesitation.
The most important thing is that he feels that the cat seems to be very familiar with this place, as if he has been here before. Otherwise, how could he be so confident and lead him out of dangerous areas just right every time?
The smile on Mao'er's face was innocent and unrestrained, as if she didn't see the suspicion in Chen Jie's eyes.
Xiao Baihe watched from the side, always feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but at the same time he felt envious of this scene.
It's really enviable to see Chen Jie trust Mao'er's judgment without any consideration.
But she doesn't have this special treatment.
In the past, she would always subconsciously choose to obey Chen Jie's orders. Chen Jie's words were like an imperial edict to her.
Chen Jie said she would go east, but she would never go west.
Now watching Chen Jie listen to Mao'er's words, Xiao Baihe felt a little sad. Wasn't she a little too humble in front of Chen Jie?
"Lily, what's wrong with you?
He seemed a little unhappy."
Mao'er looked at Lily Xiao with a smile on her face, a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
Xiao Baihe, who seemed to be slow to react, seemed to have noticed something, otherwise why would he have such a strange little expression.
"No, it's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired."
Xiao Baihe didn't want others to discover her fragile psychology, so she quickly made an excuse.
"Would you like to take a rest?"
Chen Jie thought Xiao Baihe was really tired. After all, with Xiao Baihe's IQ, he shouldn't be able to think of any profound topics.
"No need, let's continue on our way! Otherwise we won't be able to make it back in the evening."
Xiao Baihe shook his head and rejected Chen Jie's kindness.
She didn't want to drag everyone down because of her temporary willfulness.
"Well, let's go then. Thank you for your hard work, Lily."
Chen Jie smiled tenderly at Xiao Baihe, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Baihe on the shoulder.
