After dinner, Chen Jie asked Bai Fan to go into the small bamboo house and rest for a while. Although Bai Fan wanted to stay and listen to what everyone discussed, he couldn't refute Chen Jie's face, so he just obeyed Chen Jie's words and returned.
In a small bamboo house.
"Captain, why do you unfurl the white sail?
Are there any secrets you want to tell us?"
Chen Yanyan looked at Chen Jie suspiciously, feeling that she smelled gossip.
"You are the clever one."
Chen Jie smiled. Seeing Chen Yanyan's funny look, Chen Jie couldn't help but picture himself saving Chen Yanyan. This was really a big deviation.
"Hey, captain, just say it."
Chen Yanyan took Chen Jie's arm with both hands and started to shake it, which was very coquettish.
"Yes, I do have something to say. I'll let you and Lisa go back later. Just pretend to look natural. I have something that I need Lily and Cat to do with me."
Chen Jie lowered his voice and looked at Lisa and Chen Yanyan seriously.
"What's going on?
Why can't you take us two with you?"
Chen Yanyan looked at Chen Jie in confusion, feeling very curious.
"Yanyan, the captain naturally has his own motives for doing this. Please don't embarrass the captain."
Lisa is very reasonable.
"Okay then! I just want to follow and have a look."
Chen Yanyan looked at Chen Jie with an innocent face.
"Be good, I will take you out to play when your injury recovers a little."
Chen Jie comforted Chen Yanyan.
"Then you have to remember."
Chen Yanyan felt that she had not gone on an adventure alone with Chen Jie for a long time.
"Well, don't worry, when did the captain lie to you?"
Chen Jie nodded and agreed to Chen Yanyan.
"Captain is the best."
Chen Yanyan nodded, feeling that Chen Jie was as good to her as before.
"It's getting late. Let's leave quietly. You two are here to stabilize everyone. If anyone asks, just say we were walking around. Remember?"
Chen Jie warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, Captain, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems."
Lisa assured Chen Jie that the matter was serious.
"Well, very good, let's go then."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he stood up and winked at Mao'er and Xiao Baihe.
The two girls nodded at the same time, took their usual weapons, and walked to Chen Jie.
"Look after everyone."
Chen Jie looked at Lisa.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
Lisa nodded and looked at Chen Jie with a worried expression.
Chen Jie took one last look at Chen Yanyan, then turned around and walked towards the woods with Lisa and Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe didn't ask Chen Jie any questions along the way.
Because Chen Jie traveled in a low-key manner, he didn't even bring a torch.
Fortunately, there were traces of trampling by Chen Jie and others in the woods, so walking was smoother.
"Cat, where are we going?
Why am I so excited!"
Xiao Baihe said excitedly.
She likes to cause trouble with the captain the most, and she can make the other party miserable every time.
It’s rare to come home empty-handed.
"Chen Jie encountered pirates today. Let's go and poke holes in the pirates' den."
Mao'er felt Xiao Baihe's excitement and said helplessly.
"What?
Pirate den?
Is it so exciting?"
When Xiao Baihe heard Mao'er's words, not only did she not feel scared, but she felt very excited.
"Well, you will know when the time comes. Now wipe your saliva first."
Mao'er teased, already treating Xiao Baihe as a sister.
"There's no saliva! Cat, you lied to me again..." Xiao Baihe reached out and wiped the corners of her mouth, and found that there was no saliva at all, and then she realized that she had been fooled.
"Pfft, Lily, you are too cute."
The cat burst out laughing.
Sure enough, it is more fun to be with the girls.
Every time he was with Chen Jie, he would always tease her into confusion, and then Chen Jie would make fun of himself.
I feel suffocated just thinking about it.
"Hey, Cat, did you and the captain meet pirates today?"
Xiao Baihe put away her little face and asked nervously.
"Well, Lily, do you know that Chen Jie's leg injury has healed?"
Mao'er suddenly asked a question that made Lily Xiao stunned for a long time.
"This... I thought the captain told you, didn't you two go out together today?"
Xiao Baihe was dumbfounded and felt the displeasure in Mao'er's tone.
"Chen Jie, are you trying to frame me again?"
Mao'er angrily glared at Chen Jie, who was walking in front and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"ah?
What?
Hush, please keep your voice down, we don’t have torches, it’s easy to attract animals.”
Chen Jie pretended to be stupid and said it was impossible to admit what he had done.
"Hmph, Chen Jie, just lie to me well, and I will deal with you one day."
Mao'er snorted coldly and said unwillingly.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Chen Jie responded, as if he didn't care, but in fact, his face almost burst into laughter.
Xiao Baihe also noticed the tension in the atmosphere, and did not dare to speak randomly, so she could only follow behind obediently.
After walking for a while, even though Xiao Baihe couldn't see clearly the surrounding environment, she could still feel the familiar atmosphere.
"Is this the direction toward the ancient tomb?"
Xiao Baihe asked nervously. She didn't expect that Chen Jie would lead them back to fight again.
"That's right, it's right here."
The cat nodded generously.
"Are we going back to that pirate den?"
Xiao Baihe had already guessed about seventy-seven or eighty-eight at this time, but did not dare to confirm.
"Lily, you are really smart."
Mao'er glanced at Xiao Baihe appreciatively.
"I, I'm just making random guesses."
Xiao Baihe said nervously, feeling the familiarity of the surrounding environment, Xiao Baihe tried his best to relax.
"Lily, are you a little too nervous?"
Mao'er walked beside Xiao Baihe and felt Xiao Baihe's nervousness.
"I... I just remember that this group of pirates blew up our ancient tomb before. Did they have gunpowder in their hands?"
Xiao Baihe said what she was most worried about.
She comes from the army, so she naturally knows the power of explosives.
"Don't worry, we are just here to see the excitement, we are not really asking you to blow up the pirate den."
Mao'er reached out and patted Lily Xiao's shoulder, and said carelessly.
"what does it mean?
I'm a little confused."
Xiao Baihe was even more puzzled, wondering what Chen Jie was going to do.
"Don't worry, your captain is reluctant to let you take risks. He just found something exciting for you to do."
Mao'er didn't want to explain so much, but just tried to persuade Lily Xiao to feel at ease.
"I'm so confused by you."
Xiao Baihe said speechlessly, feeling that she had been derailed by Chen Jie and could not guess what Chen Jie wanted to do.
"In short, just trust Chen Jie and leave everything to Chen Jie."
