Mao'er felt even more panicked when she saw Chen Jie staring directly at her.
The calmness and self-possession of the past have long since disappeared, replaced by shyness and embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Cat, for making you suffer with me. If it weren't for me, you could live peacefully in the ancient tomb now."
Chen Jie said in a serious tone, feeling that he had cheated Mao'er.
"Don't say stupid things. In such a cold weather, cold jokes are not funny at all."
The cat's shy mood disappeared instantly.
Chen Jie "..."
He seemed to have offended the cat again unintentionally.
"There's a lot of space here, does it lead to another place?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's embarrassed look and looked at the cave in front of him.
Judging from the appearance of this place, it should be a cave. It is very high, almost as high as a four-story building. It is very spacious. If you are not in a hurry to go back, it would be very comfortable to stay here for a few days.
"You rest here for a while. I'll go inside and take a look. If you encounter danger, just call me loudly. Don't show off on your own."
Chen Jie understands Mao'er's character very well.
Knowing that Mao'er is not the kind of woman who likes to rely on others, she warned her uneasily.
"I know, I'm not a child, go, go, go."
Mao'er urged Chen Jie, looking impatient, but actually she felt happy.
Chen Jie looked at the cat and finally decided to search the cave and explore the way. Maybe there would be other surprises.
Not long after walking inside, Chen Jie suddenly stopped and looked at the red water in front of him, with white smoke rising from it, which looked extremely strange.
After looking around, Chen Jie picked up a stone, stood at a relatively safe distance, and threw the stone into the water.
Plop
The moment the stone fell into the water, it made a stinging sound, and then the situation below was no longer visible.
Chen Jie felt nervous. Fortunately, he didn't reach out to test her just now, otherwise he would be the one crying now.
It seemed that there was a huge problem with the pool here. After looking around, Chen Jie saw that the gaps on both sides of the pool were extremely narrow.
Although it can allow a person to pass through, if you are not careful, you can easily fall into the pool and turn into a white skeleton.
After thinking again and again, Chen Jie decided to give up the search and turned around and walked towards the door.
It's not that he is a coward, it's just that with his current legs and feet, the risk factor is too high, so he has to give up.
"Why did you come out so quickly?
Is there nothing to explore in there?"
The cat looked at Chen Jie curiously, tilting its head, looking cute and cute.
"Well, there's nothing to explore inside. Let's wait here until the rain stops and continue on our way."
Chen Jie said perfunctorily, not wanting the cat to know what was going on in the cave, especially the red pool.
It's really weird, I know, I'm afraid the cat will be worried.
"That's fine, I'll listen to you."
Cat nodded, not paying much attention to the situation inside.
The two people leaned against the wall, listening to the sound of rain outside, and unconsciously their eyelids began to fight.
Last night, while helping the snow leopard deliver the baby, the two of them basically didn't sleep much. Now they were so sleepy that they unconsciously felt that they had fallen asleep.
The rain didn't know when it stopped. When the two of them opened their eyes, the sky had turned completely dark, and the familiar moonlight shone on the earth.
Chen Jie was confused. He originally just wanted to wait for the rain to stop and leave here, but now it seems that he may have to spend the night here again tonight.
Fortunately, he didn't have to set up a tent tonight, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Why is it so dark?"
Mao'er also slowly opened his eyes at this time, looked at Chen Jie standing outside the door, and rubbed his sore eyes.
"We both slept too long."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, his ears turned slightly red, feeling that his words were a bit weird.
Mao'er also felt that there was something in Chen Jie's words, and felt something strange in her heart.
"Then let's continue to make a fire and cook?
Or just hang out here all night?"
The cat's belly just made a growling sound at this time.
"You're hungry, I'll go out and see if I can find food."
Chen Jie also understood Mao'er's reaction at this time, because he was also very hungry.
We walked a lot today and consumed a lot of energy. Because the two of us were in a hurry, we only ate a few wild fruits at noon.
"I'll go with you, I just want to do some exercise."
After saying that, Mao'er was about to stand up, but the pain on her feet made her frown unconsciously, feeling that the pain at the wound was getting worse.
"Don't move, just sit here quietly and leave the rough work to me."
After saying that, Chen Jie raised his legs and walked towards the woods on the side.
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's back, disappearing into the night, and sighed.
She could clearly feel Chen Jie's anxiety, but she always accidentally injured herself, delaying her journey.
Sometimes, Mao'er felt very guilty deep down in her heart, always feeling that she had delayed Chen Jie.
And those three girls should also be very important to Chen Jie. It was because of her willfulness at that time that they were separated.
It seems that she is really a evil star.
Mao'er smiled self-deprecatingly, leaned against the wall, and looked at the bright moon in the sky with a myriad of emotions.
…
Chen Jie came to the woods and planned to see if he could pick some wild fruits. If he was lucky, he might even encounter some small animals, which would be enough for dinner in the evening.
Suddenly something fell into Chen Jie's clothes. Chen Jie quickly grabbed the thing around his neck and threw it down hard.
Because it was too dark, Chen Jie couldn't see what kind of creature it was. He only felt a pain in his neck, followed by a strong sense of dizziness. Chen Jie swayed and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reached out to hold him.
The big tree on the side allowed Chen Jie to stand firm.
Chen Jie knew clearly that he must have been bitten by a poisonous insect. He quickly took out the dagger and lightly slashed the area where he was bitten. Blood spurted out instantly. Chen Jie did not try to stop the bleeding, but kept silently in his heart.
He counted five numbers.
Finding a few leaves, Chen Jie pressed hard on his wound, hoping to make it solidify quickly.
After the blood was drained, Chen Jie felt that his head was not so dizzy. Then he stood up and looked around. Chen Jie decided to give up.
The woods here are so weird, it seems that I will have to go hungry tonight.
After walking out, Chen Jie found a few long leaves and simply bandaged his wounds.
Because the cut was not deep, Chen Jie didn't pay much attention to it, and thought he could find some wild fruits to eat near the woods.
