Seeing Chen Jie shaking his arms constantly, Mao'er couldn't bear it.
"Chen Jie, could you please be more serious?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie speechlessly.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Jie looked at Mao'er in confusion. Seeing Mao'er looking at him with disgust, Chen Jie pursed his lips and looked at Mao'er helplessly.
"You're already fine, there's no need to show it off."
The cat waved his hand, looking weak.
"Cat, you should have confidence in me."
Chen Jie thought Mao'er was acting like this because he lost confidence in his own judgment...
"I have full confidence in you, but can you be more serious?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier now, do you want Lisa to get sick from the rain?"
Mao'er accused Chen Jie, feeling that Chen Jie didn't care about Lisa's body at all.
"Some things are useful if you don't have to rush them."
Chen Jie sighed, knowing exactly what Mao'er was angry about.
"Now what?
Lisa is already wet."
Cat looked at Lisa's clothes, which were soaked by the rain, and was a little worried.
"Don't worry, let's keep walking forward. I've figured out the route here."
Chen Jie said calmly, not panicking at all.
"Have you figured out the route?
when?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie in surprise, thinking he heard wrongly.
"Just now! Do you think I was really walking around?"
Chen Jie smiled evilly at Mao'er and said in a pretentious tone.
"Tch, if you didn't tell me earlier, wouldn't it have made me worried?"
Mao'er stared at Chen Jie dissatisfied, and at the same time he felt relieved.
"Hey, if I told you, you might not believe it. Just follow me this time."
Chen Jie smiled at Mao'er and walked in front of him openly.
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's back and suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary.
Chen Jie is a person who always likes to plan in advance.
The rope around his waist began to become tighter and tighter, and Mao'er quickly followed Chen Jie's pace and walked forward.
"Cat, you have to keep up with me and don't break the rope. The terrain here is very strange. If you are not careful, you will go the wrong way."
Chen Jie walked in front and warned worriedly.
"okay, I get it."
The cat responded, followed behind Chen Jie, and walked forward. This time, the cat kept an eye on it, trying hard to note down the surrounding environment and remember the direction and position of each tree.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, bursts of muffled thunder sounded overhead, and the leaves rustled in the strong wind, making the empty forest look even more eerie.
"Chen Jie, it's been a long time coming...have you found it yet?"
The cat could not open its eyes due to the rain, and its whole body was extremely cold.
"Don't worry, we'll be there soon after walking forward."
Chen Jie said softly, picked up a big leaf at random, blocked it behind Lisa, and quickened his pace.
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie in front of him speechlessly. He was really cold and hungry at this time.
This time Chen Jie actually found a cave. Although it was not big, it made both Chen Jie and Maoer very excited at this time.
"Great, I finally found a cave where I can take shelter from the rain."
Cat said excitedly, looking at the cave in front of him with joy.
"Don't worry, I'll see if there are any animals inside."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he picked up the stones on the ground and threw them into the cave.
As the stone fell, Chen Jie did not notice anything strange.
"Can we go in?"
The cat felt like he was being splashed with water from a basin.
"No problem, I'll go ahead."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he walked forward.
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie's tall and straight back, and a touch of warmth flashed through her heart.
The entrance to the cave was very narrow, and only one person could pass through it. Chen Jie walked in, and the cat couldn't wait to follow. The dark cave, without a trace of light, made the two of them feel warm instantly.
"Phew, it's finally warm."
After the cat finished speaking, he began to wring out the clothes on his body and wring out all the rainwater.
"how do you feel?
Are you ok?"
Chen Jie reached out to untie the vines on his body so that Lisa could slowly lie down.
"What do you think?
How can such bad weather be cured?"
Mao'er curled her lips and said reluctantly. Seeing Chen Jie's actions, Mao'er quickly helped.
I helped Lisa lie down and used leaves to cushion her underneath, which made her feel dry.
"You take it here and I'll get some branches."
Chen Jie knew that if he stayed like this all night, there would be three corpses tomorrow.
So he had to get some branches at this time to make the cave warm.
"Okay, be careful."
Mao'er nodded and responded, watching Chen Jie walk out of the cave. Mao'er sat next to Lisa and began to help Lisa dry the rainwater on her body.
Chen Jie walked out, got some branches nearby, and returned to the cave. At this time, he did not dare to go far.
In such weather, the ground outside is covered with mud, making it difficult to walk.
"Chen Jie, there are water drops all over your body, please do it quickly."
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie who had been busy lighting the fire, and said with some distress, urging Chen Jie to deal with the water droplets on his body first.
"I'm fine, old man, I'm rough-skinned and thick-bodied."
Chen Jie said angrily, always thinking of ways to light a fire.
"These branches are wet/can't be lit at all, so don't waste your efforts."
Mao'er watched Chen Jie fail several times, his eyes full of helplessness.
"It's okay, trust me."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he directly tore off a piece of cloth from his trousers, squeezed out the water, lit the cloth strip, and used the cloth strip as a primer to start burning the fire.
Seeing this, Mao'er quickly pulled off his trouser legs and helped Chen Jie light the fire.
"Mao'er, you're a girl, so you don't need to be so bold."
Chen Jie didn't want Mao'er to do this. Girls are weak.
"What else can I do without this piece of cloth?"
Mao'er said angrily, thinking that Chen Jie was too cautious.
"That's not good either. Girls should protect themselves. What if a bug bites your leg?"
Chen Jie said patiently, knowing that Mao'er was a duplicitous woman.
Mao'er softened after hearing Chen Jie's words.
"I know, I won't be so reckless in the future."
Mao'er raised her lips and softened her tone.
"That's good. I'll go out to look for food later, and you two can warm yourself up inside by the fire."
Chen Jie smiled at the cat and continued to work on the fire in his hand.
"Are you going out again?"
Mao'er raised her head and looked at Chen Jie with a frown. She saw that Chen Jie was still wet, but Chen Jie always thought of them first...
I don’t know whether to call Chen Jie stupid or too responsible.
In fact, the relationship between them is really just a chance meeting...
