Chen Jie stretched out his hand to hold Chen Yanyan and spoke helplessly.
"I'm just joking, you don't have to take it seriously."
Lisa "???"
Xiao Baihe "???"
Chen Yanyan "???"
Seeing the three girls looking at him in shock, Chen Jie touched his nose and turned his head away uncomfortably.
Suddenly, there were bright eyes in the woods, and Chen Jie felt nervous. These wild wolves seemed to be in this forest every night, but they didn't show up at all during the day.
What are these wild wolves?
If it was really for the meat balls, then why didn't you show up?
Or take the meat balls away directly, why do you have to leave the meat balls to them?
"Captain, captain?" Chen Yanyan shouted several times and found that Chen Jie had been looking into the woods. There seemed to be something that was attracting Chen Jie deeply.
But Chen Yanyan followed Chen Jie's line of sight and forgot about it, but saw nothing.
"It's okay, go back to bed early." Chen Jie withdrew his gaze and urged the three women to return to the cave quickly.
He didn't want to fight with a pack of wild wolves in the middle of the night.
Although he may not be the one who loses in a fight.
"But I'm not too sleepy yet, it's still a bit early." Chen Yanyan resisted a little, wanting to stay outside for a while.
"Yeah, it's still early now, let's take a breather." Lisa also wanted to stay for a while, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Be good and be obedient. I'll tell you a story when you get back." Chen Jie said perfunctorily, feeling that it was more or less dangerous for the four of them to stand here.
Xiao Baihe's IQ suddenly went up. Seeing that Chen Jie had been trying to get everyone back to the cave, she knew that there must be something that Chen Jie was hiding from everyone.
"Sisters, let's go to the bathroom and then go back." Xiao Baihe also urged, casting a look at Chen Jie.
"You and the captain are a little weird today." Chen Yanyan looked back and forth between Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe for a long time.
"Since everyone is tired, let's go to bed early today." Lisa said thoughtfully, pulling Chen Yanyan towards the side of the cave.
Chen Jie stood at the door and kept staring in the direction of the woods. He wanted to know what kind of animals were in the woods and why he had to observe them every day.
The three girls came back quickly and walked into the cave obediently.
Chen Jie withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into the cave. He used branches to replace the dead locust branches and blocked the entrance to the cave so tightly that not even a mouse could get in.
After finishing the dead branches of the black locust, Chen Jie turned his head and saw three girls looking at him seriously.
"Uh, why are you looking at me like this? Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Chen Jie said uncomfortably, feeling that his body was a little stiff.
"Captain, you are very strange today. Why do you keep urging us to come back?" Chen Yanyan stared at Chen Jie angrily.
"That's right, you better be honest today, otherwise the three of us will..." Lisa looked at Chen Jie with a wicked smile.
Chen Jie shivered and couldn't bear the expression on Lisa's face.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just feel something is wrong in the forest." Chen Jie pretended to be calm and said, walking towards the stone table with an indifferent expression.
Chen Yanyan picked up the coconut juice and poured it into a bamboo tube. Each of the four people had a cup.
A bit like a tea party.
"Is there danger in the forest? Is it a ghost?" Xiao Baihe's eyes lit up. She used to like to follow some horror and suspense novels, TV series and movies, so she was a little bolder than the average girl.
"Stop talking, I'm most afraid of ghosts." Chen Yanyan quickly covered her head with resistance on her face.
Although Lisa didn't speak, she frowned slightly, as if she didn't want to continue the topic.
"What are you thinking about? There are no ghosts here. If there are any, they are just predators." Chen Jie picked up the coconut juice on the table and took a sip.
When it comes to ghosts, Chen Jie can't help but think of the words in the parchment, which seem to have some dazzling skills. Unfortunately, he is not very cold about this and has no interest in it.
I just want to find my way home quickly, take my three girls with me, and leave this hellish place.
Although it is beautiful here, he still wants to go home.
"Okay, Yanyan, let's not talk about ghosts." Seeing Chen Yanyan's strong reaction, Xiao Baihe also knew that her joke was a bit too much, so she quickly stretched out her hand to pull down Chen Yanyan's ears and looked at Chen Yanyan with a smile.
"People are timid, especially the theories about ghosts and gods, which are really scary." Chen Yanyan knew that Xiao Baihe was joking, but she was really scared.
Xiao Baihe nodded, reached out and patted Chen Yanyan's shoulder to express comfort.
"Captain, you just said it was a carnivore? Could it be that you saw something?" Lisa caught the key point of Chen Jie's words and suddenly understood why Chen Jie had been urging everyone to return to the cave.
Chen Jie put down the bamboo tube in his hand, looked at the three girls looking at him curiously, nodded, and said what he was thinking.
"Yes, I suspect there are some wild wolves in the woods. They are watching us in the woods every night. The reason why I don't say anything is because I'm afraid you will be scared."
The three girls felt a chill on their backs at the same time, and a chill came over them. They were fast asleep in the cave, and there were some wild wolves waiting outside?
Will this allow them to sleep in the future?
"Captain, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Yanyan exclaimed, unable to believe what she just heard.
"What's the point of talking, those animals didn't hurt us." After Chen Jie finished speaking, he looked at the meat ball on the ground.
At this time, Meat Ball was sleeping soundly with the squirrel in his arms.
"But if it is really a wild wolf, it is a time bomb. Maybe one day they are in a bad mood, they will come and eat us, or attack us." Lisa frowned, never expecting that there would be people outside.
Such a dangerous hazard.
Chen Jie sighed and looked at the meat ball on the ground again.
"I suspect that those wild wolves are guarding the meat ball."
"What? Protect the meat ball?" Chen Yanyan's eyes widened instantly and she looked at the meat ball on the ground, feeling a little confused.
"This is just my guess. I'm not sure if it's true. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early." Chen Jie didn't want to continue discussing this topic, lest the three women start to worry again.
Chen Yanyan wanted to say something else, but when she saw the dark circles under Chen Jie's eyes, she finally didn't say anything and bothered the captain again.
Lily Xiao and Lisa also looked worried.
Chen Jie shook his head, knowing that he shouldn't tell everyone about this.
It made everyone worried.
"Rouqiu, you have such a big heart. You can sleep like this." Chen Jie squatted next to Rouqiu and stretched out his hand to rub Rouqiu's body.
