After a while, the cat replaced Xiao Baihe again, and it continued like this until the weather turned completely dark, and the storm still showed no signs of letting up, but became heavier and heavier.
"If this continues, we will have to spend the night here today."
Chen Jie looked at the two girls with a worried expression.
As a grown man, he could just suffer here, but with two girls suffering such a storm here, Chen Jie felt really uncomfortable.
"That's something that can't be helped. No one can change it."
Cat shrugged and said indifferently.
Anyway, here, she is used to facing the wind and rain alone. For her, such a storm is a piece of cake.
"We can't sit still and wait for death. We have to find a way."
Chen Jie felt that his body temperature was gradually disappearing. If it continued like this, it would be really dangerous.
"any idea?
Going back in the rain?"
Mao'er raised his eyes and looked at Chen Jie, knowing what Chen Jie was thinking at this moment.
There is no food and no fire to keep warm here. If you freeze overnight, you will probably get sick the next day.
When the three of them fall ill, the team is really doomed. It is estimated that Lisa and Chen Yanyan may not even be able to catch a rabbit.
"We must go back now, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the night."
Chen Jie said in a serious tone, even though he knew that it would be unrealistic to walk back in such bad weather.
But he really has no choice now, he can continue to stay here with Mao'er and Xiao Baihe.
"Why don't we go search nearby to see if there is any suitable place?"
Mao'er thought for a while and came up with a compromise.
"No, it's too dark. If I accidentally slip, it will be over."
Xiao Baihe immediately rejected Mao'er's idea and felt that it was too dangerous to go out alone.
I have never been anywhere before, but what if I fall into an ancient tomb like before?
And on such a pitch-black night, it was like looking for death.
"Then there's nothing we can do, just hold on."
Mao'er also knew that the proposal he just made was a bit risky, but it was also a no-win solution.
"Stop arguing, you stay here, I'll go out and look around to see if I can find something to eat."
Chen Jie knew that if they continued like this, without food to satisfy their hunger, it would be difficult for them to survive until dawn.
"Okay, then go ahead! Remember not to go too far."
Mao'er nodded and did not refute Chen Jie this time.
Who told Chen Jie to be right?
If she was allowed to go out, I'm afraid Chen Jie would be very worried.
"Cat, how can you agree to let the captain go out?"
Xiao Baihe looked at Mao'er with a surprised face.
Didn't Mao'er just show that he didn't want the captain to go out?
Why did you suddenly agree to it now?
At this moment, Xiao Baihe really couldn't understand Mao'er's thoughts.
Thinking that Mao'er might have been acting before, the purpose was to make the captain sacrifice. At this moment, Xiao Baihe's mood suddenly became complicated.
"If there is no food to satisfy our hunger, how will we survive the night?
When you were blocking the door just now, you must have felt the cold outside, right?"
Mao'er said calmly, also trying to convince himself.
Xiao Baihe fell silent, having no better reason to refute Mao'er's words.
Mao'er is right, in order to survive, some people can only sacrifice now.
Moreover, this person's physical endurance and judgment are particularly important.
Now among the three of them, only Chen Jie and Mao'er meet these three characteristics, and even she can only be a tool.
"Okay, don't scare Lily. I'm going to find food now. You two are waiting for me here."
Chen Jie handed the remaining two pieces of leather to the two girls, stretched out his hand to cover himself with the leather, got up and walked towards behind him.
It wasn't until Chen Jie's figure completely blended into the night that Maoer sighed.
"Lily, do you think I'm selfish?
In order to survive, let Chen Jie take risks?"
Mao'er gave a wry smile, picked up the leather, took the initiative to put it behind him, and blocked the door.
Lily Xiao shook her head and looked at Mao'er seriously.
"Mao'er, I have never thought that you are a selfish girl. In fact, you just see things more clearly than us..." Xiao Baihe's words made Mao'er's heart become complicated in an instant.
She originally thought that Xiao Baihe would preach to her after Chen Jie left, but she did not expect that Xiao Baihe would say such words, which surprised her.
"I'm sorry, Cat, my attitude towards you just now is indeed a bit bad. Don't mind, I just didn't think too much, and I don't want the captain to risk his life just to find us some food."
Xiao Baihe smiled bitterly and expressed his most selfish thoughts.
"Lily, actually I didn't explain it clearly, I'm sorry."
Mao'er rarely says the word 'sorry', but at this moment, she really wants to say it to Lily Xiao.
The reason why she agreed to let Chen Jie go look for food was just so that she could survive selfishly.
Xiao Baihe treats Chen Jie from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe, this is the difference between love and not love!
"Mao'er, I'm embarrassed to say that. In fact, our purpose is to let everyone live a better life..." Xiao Baihe reached out excitedly and grabbed Mao'er's cold little hand.
Mao'er also looked at Xiao Baihe with a moved face, feeling that her heart was falling uncontrollably towards people like Chen Jie.
Maybe she is not a cool person by nature.
The two girls stared at each other, quietly waiting for Chen Jie to come back.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the two girls simply passed by like years. In the end, Mao'er couldn't bear the psychological anxiety and let go of Xiao Baihe's hand.
"Cat, what's wrong with you?"
When Xiao Baihe saw Mao'er let go of her hand, she thought Mao'er was feeling unwell.
"Has Chen Jie been gone for a long time?"
As if verifying something, Mao'er raised his head and looked at Lily Xiao in front of him.
"Yes, the captain has been gone for a long time, it must have been more than an hour anyway..." When Xiao Baihe said this, her mind trembled violently for a few times. She didn't dare to think about it at all, she could only think in her heart
Pray that Chen Jie is safe and sound and can come back soon.
"I'm going to see Chen Jie."
After saying that, the cat struggled to get out of the cave, but was held down by Xiao Baihe.
Because the place was too small, the cat was unable to resist.
"Lily, let me go..." the cat said impatiently. The cat was now in a very irritable mood.
