After the two had breakfast, they continued to search for their way back to the ancient tomb. After being stuck here for so many days, they were eager to return home.
"How about we find a vine and climb up."
Mao'er said speechlessly, watching himself getting further and further away from the place where he fell before, and Mao'er felt that the way back was far away.
"Climb up?
Is this how we do it?”
Chen Jie pointed to the location where the two people were injured. If it were in the past, Chen Jie might really consider climbing up, but now Chen Jie doesn't think about it at all.
The physical strength of the two people simply does not allow them to be so willful.
"Maybe you are right, we should change our thinking."
Mao'er nodded, feeling that Chen Jie's words made sense.
"Let's just find a way and don't think too much."
Chen Jie smiled and looked at Mao'er with gentle eyes.
"I'm not in a hurry, but your red/pink confidants may be."
Mao'er curled her lips and teased Chen Jie.
Chen Jie "..."
When did you become a red/pink confidant?
Why doesn't he know?
"Cat, are you jealous?"
Chen Jie looked at Mao'er with a funny look on his face, wanting to know Mao'er's true thoughts. Unexpectedly, Mao'er rolled his eyes and walked away from him.
"Jealous?
I'm never jealous."
After Mao'er finished speaking, the roots of his ears turned red unconsciously.
"Haha, I guess so."
Chen Jie responded with a smile, showed a bitter smile, turned around and followed Mao'er's footsteps.
Because the weather was so hot, Chen Jie got two big leaves and wrapped them around their faces to prevent them from getting sunburned.
"This road is too long. Should we change the direction?"
The cat is a little tired, maybe because of the physical injury. The cat always feels that his system is weak and he is not as energetic as before.
"Take a rest when you are tired. We still have a long way to go, don't be impatient."
Chen Jie saw the tiredness in Mao'er's eyes, and took Mao'er to the shade of a tree, where the two of them rested for a while.
"Chen Jie, why don't you go back to the ancient tomb first? I can live a good life here by myself."
Mao'er suddenly felt a little bored and had a rebellious mentality. He didn't want to go back to the ancient tomb and see the faces of those people.
"Cat, do you think I will leave you alone?
No matter how difficult it is ahead, I will never let you live alone."
Chen Jie said softly, also making a promise to Mao'er, hoping that Mao'er could believe in him.
"Why are you doing this to me..." Mao'er felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Chen Jie's sincere look, Mao'er felt that she was willing to accompany Chen Jie back to the ancient tomb.
"Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let others bully you."
Chen Jie smiled tenderly at the cat, calming the cat's mood.
"The person who can bully me hasn't even been born yet."
Mao'er said swornly, very confident about this.
"You are right, no one will bully you in the future, only I can bully you."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he grinned at Mao'er.
"Come on, I'm going to get some water. You rest for a while. I'll have to rely on you to lead the way later."
After the cat finished speaking, he stood up and walked toward the river ahead.
"Slow down and watch out for the crocodiles."
Chen Jie warned him worriedly, and when he saw the cat glare at him, Chen Jie burst into laughter.
It seems that this cat is still very cute.
The two of them took a short rest and continued on their way. Along the way, the two of them unconsciously speeded up their pace, otherwise they would have to stay here again tonight.
"Is there a waterfall ahead?"
Listening to the sound of running water in the distance, the cat frowned unconsciously.
It seems that they are still going in the opposite direction, and there is no way forward.
Chen Jie was dumbfounded when he looked at the scenery in front of him. It was different from what he expected. He thought he could find a way out by walking this way.
Now it seems that his judgment was wrong.
"Captain Chen, I very much doubt your judgment."
Mao'er curled her lips and looked at Chen Jie.
"This is indeed an error in judgment, but I never expected that this would be the case."
Chen Jie immediately confessed his thoughts and knew that the responsibility for this mistake was entirely his own.
"What should we do now?"
Mao'er didn't mean to blame Chen Jie. In this strange environment, everything would happen.
Besides, Chen Jie himself cannot be blamed for this kind of thing.
"Cat, I have a bold idea."
Chen Jie turned his head and looked at Mao'er with a smile on his face.
Mao'er looked at the smile on Chen Jie's face and frowned.
"You don't want to jump from the waterfall, do you?"
Mao'er has already predicted Chen Jie's thoughts, and even thinks that Chen Jie's thoughts are a bit crazy.
"This is the only way out, do you want to go back the way you came?
This is a canyon with only two roads to go. If we go back, we don’t know when we can get out of here. Why don’t we jump in and give it a try? Your water skills are pretty good. I don’t think we can jump into the waterfall at all.
question."
Chen Jie expressed his thoughts and even thought out the details.
"You have said so, do I still have a choice?"
Mao'er curled his lips and said helplessly.
"I knew you would agree. In order for us to get ashore safely, I will help you treat our wounds first."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he started to take action.
I found some anti-inflammatory and analgesic herbs nearby, and carefully re-bandaged the two people's wounds with leaves and cloth strips, and prepared to start going into the water.
"Cat, don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."
Chen Jie saw that Mao'er always had a calm face and thought that Mao'er was worried.
"You think I'm afraid of waterfalls?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie expressionlessly, feeling insulted.
Chen Jie "..."
"That's not what I mean. I just want to persuade you and make you feel at ease."
Chen Jie grinned, showing his small white teeth.
"Okay, knowing that you are eager to get home, let's get down quickly."
Mao'er saw through Chen Jie's thoughts at a glance and stood up and walked towards the water.
"Cat, should we tie a vine between us to prevent it from being washed away?"
Chen Jie looked at the rapid flow of drinking water in front of him, feeling a little worried.
"That's okay. If you encounter danger, just cut off the rope. It's important to save your life."
Cat directly expressed his innermost thoughts.
She said this to Chen Jie on purpose, just so that when Chen Jie was in danger, he could be more domineering, cut the rope, and give up saving her.
That's why Mao'er deliberately spoke so carelessly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our luck lies behind us."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he went to the wall and started cutting vines.
After a while, he got a very strong tree vine and tied it to the two people. For safety reasons, Chen Jie also tied it with a dead knot.
