Xiao Baihe nodded, deliberately distanced herself from Chen Jie, reached out and picked four red apples, rubbed them on her body, and handed them to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie picked it up, looked at it, cut off a small piece with a dagger, and fed it to the python. Unexpectedly, the python didn't eat it at all. He just licked it with the letter and then withdrew the letter.
"Captain, is this apple poisonous?"
Xiao Baihe looked at the red apple in his hand, and felt like he was about to be poisoned to death. Xiao Baihe was so frightened that he threw the clean apple directly to the ground, with a look of panic on his face.
Chen Jie "..."
"Ahem, Lily, pythons generally prefer to eat meat or eggs. It doesn't like eating this apple. It's normal."
Xiao Baihe “…”
Seeing the smile on Chen Jie's face, Xiao Baihe looked at the apple on the ground again, and instantly had the urge to punch Chen Jie twice.
"Forget it, I'll pick it again."
Xiao Baihe rolled her eyes, picked two more apples, wiped them clean, and handed them to Chen Jie.
The two of them sat down and each ate an apple and continued on their way. Because the weather was hot, Chen Jie directly used the python as a cooling tool and put it on his neck. The ice-cold feeling made Chen Jie feel like he had brought a cooler with him.
The feeling of a towel.
After walking for almost half an hour, the two people arrived at the mountain temple again. Xiao Baihe saw the mountain temple on the mountain and subconsciously looked towards Chen Jie.
She always felt that Chen Jie would feel a little different when she got here. She couldn't describe that feeling.
"Lily, let's pay homage to the mountain god."
Chen Jie stopped, clasped his hands together, and bowed devoutly three times.
Xiao Baihe nodded, and followed Chen Jie's example and bowed to the mountain god.
Chen Jie stared at the mountain temple for a while, sighed, turned around and continued moving forward.
"Captain, is this where you found the Night Pearl yesterday?
Is there anything else behind it?"
Xiao Baihe suddenly remembered the depressed expression on Chen Jie's face when he came down from the mountain temple yesterday.
It was as ugly as if someone had robbed his wife.
"No."
Chen Jie said calmly, not wanting to mention what happened yesterday again.
"oh."
Xiao Baihe responded, clearly sensing Chen Jie's displeasure, and did not dare to ask any more questions.
After walking for a while, Xiao Baihe stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The weather was too hot. It would be nice if he could take a shower.
"Lily, listen."
Chen Jie stopped and listened.
Xiao Baihe followed Chen Jie's example, stopped and listened carefully.
"There seems to be the sound of water?"
Xiao Baihe's eyes lit up, and a deep desire came to her heart. She really needed water so much that she was really afraid that she would die of dehydration.
The weather was so hot that her body was soaked with sweat. If she didn't replenish water, she would soon turn into a mummy.
"Let's go, we finally found the water source."
Chen Jie was also a little excited. It was really uncomfortable not having the taste of water for several days.
The two people walked and listened carefully to the sound of running water. It was not until the two people came to a big mountain that they were dumbfounded.
This flowing water comes from the mountains. Could it be that the water source is in the rocks?
Chen Jie put his ears on the stone and could hear the sound of running water.
"Captain, what should we do?"
Xiao Baihe felt a little dizzy, so she sat directly on the ground, raised her head and looked at Chen Jie, her lips were very dry.
"Don't worry, I'll find the entrance. Maybe we have to go around this mountain."
Chen Jie looked around. If he wanted to walk to the end of the mountain, he would have to walk for more than half an hour. But looking at Xiao Baihe's appearance, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.
Xiao Baihe felt that her brain was in chaos, and she reached out and patted her forehead to wake herself up.
"wait for me a while."
Chen Jie saw that Xiao Baihe's face was turning red and sweat was pouring out, and he knew that Xiao Baihe was showing signs of heat stroke.
I scanned the surrounding area and found that there was not even a coconut tree here. Apart from various tall tropical trees, there was nothing to quench my thirst.
Seeing Xiao Baihe closing her eyes tightly and sitting there to rest, Chen Jie had no choice but to walk towards the woods to see if there was any way to help Xiao Baihe get rid of the heat.
Chen Jie didn't dare to go far, so he could only search nearby. Suddenly he saw a mouse scampering into a gap in the mountain and got in.
"If this place could be dug..." Chen Jie suddenly had a bold idea. As long as he dug a hole, he would be able to go in soon!
Having made up his mind, Chen Jie walked back directly with a big stone in his hand.
"Captain, what are you doing with the stone?"
Xiao Baihe heard the noise, opened her eyes, and saw Chen Jie walking towards her with a big stone in his hand.
Can stones also relieve heat?
?
?
"I'm going to carve this mountain out."
Chen Jie smiled at Xiao Baihe, picked up the stone in his hand, and threw it hard towards the spot where the mouse had just gotten in.
bang
Chen Jie hit it several times in succession. When he saw the cracks on it, Chen Jie felt happy. He picked up the stone and smashed it again. The hollow mountain was smashed open, and there turned out to be a cave inside. Chen Jie reached out and broke it open.
The stones were smashed outside, and the sound of mice could be heard from inside.
"There is really water."
Chen Jie felt extremely excited as he listened to the sound of water flowing inside.
They have been without water for several days and really need water at this moment.
When Xiao Baihe heard Chen Jie's voice, she quickly got up from the ground and came to Chen Jie's side. She squatted down and felt a cool air, followed by the sound of running water.
"Captain, we have really found the water source!"
Xiao Baihe was even happier than Chen Jie because she could finally have water to drink.
"You move out of the way, and I'll break it open a little bit."
Chen Jie was afraid that flying stones might accidentally injure Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe quickly took a few steps back, looking at the small hole that was opened with excitement on his face.
For the sake of convenience, Chen Jie took off the python from his neck, put it aside, picked up the stone and started smashing it again.
After a while, a hole about one meter high was created, and you could get in just by bending down.
"Okay, you wait for me outside, I'll go in and explore the way."
Chen Jie thought that a rat had just gotten in, and there might be swarms of rats inside, so he decided to put himself in danger and go in first to explore the way.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Baihe nodded and saw the python crawling towards the woods, but did not dare to say a word.
I'm really afraid that Chen Jie will keep wearing this thing.
Chen Jie picked up some stones on the ground, put them in his pocket, and planned to throw them to ask for directions.
After throwing two stones into the cave, Chen Jie heard a "dong-dong-dong" sound, but there was no abnormal sound, so he raised his legs and walked in.
"Captain, be careful."
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie's figure and couldn't help but feel worried.
