After a short rest, they continued to move deeper into the forest. They didn't walk very fast, just like a normal hiking team.
Boss Zhou's physical fitness is excellent.
Needless to say, Yingying didn't feel tired even though she was carrying a mountain of supplies and equipment.
She even wanted Zhou Ze to sit on her back. After all, carrying so many things and then carrying a boss would not be a problem.
Boss Zhou decisively chose to refuse.
When the white fox returned to the old forest, it really felt like it had returned home. Although it did not turn back into human form, the agile white shadow that kept flashing around the team was enough to prove its joy at the moment.
But others, not so comfortable.
Yueya, Zheng Qiang, Liu Chuyu, Lao Zhang and lawyer An,
It is considered to be a standard "ghost messenger" physical quality.
The problem of eating was solved, but the problem of sleeping was never really solved. My body was basically in a sub-healthy state, just like an ordinary otaku.
Therefore, in order to take them into consideration, the team deliberately slowed down the pace, otherwise Boss Zhou could really come up with Yingying and roar through the mountains to satisfy his Tarzan addiction.
There was nothing unusual on the road. It even seemed particularly boring. There were trees and stones, and stones and trees.
The team entered the forest at noon and did not stop to rest until after nine o'clock in the evening. After nearly nine hours of "march", they were still a long distance away from their destination, but they really had to stop to let everyone catch their breath.
What surprised Zhou Ze was that there was a mountain village ahead that had retained its original appearance.
Late at night, in an old forest and an old mountain village, this is usually the beginning of a ghost story, but among this group of people, even the only Xu Qinglang has become a half-demon. Even if there is a ghost village ahead, who can it scare
Judging from the specifications of Boss Zhou's team,
It’s hard to say who is scaring whom.
but,
There is nothing wrong with the village.
Because there are no residents left in the village, they may have been relocated long ago.
In recent years, as the country's conditions have improved, this kind of people-oriented project has been implemented. At the same time, with the continuous changes in people's concepts, the so-called attachment to the land is not as strong as before.
A small, empty and dilapidated village became Zhou Ze and his companions' place of stay tonight. They found a walled yard.
Those who want to set up tents do so, and those who want to look for water sources do so.
There was no need to look for firewood, as Yingying brought a lot of small gas tanks, a small gas stove placed on the flat area in the middle, and a pot.
Pour the water up,
Many packages of Uni-President Laotan Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles were opened and put into the bottle.
Cover the pot.
After it boils, everyone takes their own bowls and chopsticks to scoop up the food and start eating.
If you don't use it for cooking or heating, but only for cooking instant noodles, the small gas tanks that Yingying brought are enough.
Why would you need a bicycle when you can have a mouthful of hot instant noodles deep in the old woods
After eating,
Just tidy up.
Zhou Ze went into the tent.
I turned on the flashlight in the tent and checked the map.
According to today's itinerary and speed, it will probably take at least half a day tomorrow to reach that area. That area is also very large, and it will take more than a day or two to find it. It seems that we really have to spend a while in this old forest.
"boss."
Yingying also crawled into the tent and shared a sleeping bag with Zhou Ze.
Boss Zhou turned off the flashlight, yawned, and fell asleep while hugging Yingying.
He doesn't have to worry about what's happening outside. As for the night watch, Lawyer An will be responsible for the arrangements. Besides, with the White Fox's home advantage, there won't be any problem.
… …
"Give."
Lawyer An handed over a can of beer.
Xu Qinglang took it, opened it, took a sip, and reminded:
"I didn't bring much beer, so drink it sparingly."
Lawyer An laughed a few times, gulped down a few big mouthfuls, and said, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, no matter how much you bring, it won't be enough. Let's enjoy it in advance."
"You go meditate first, I'll take your turn later in the night."
"It's okay. I slept like a log yesterday, but now I can't sleep much. It's just that my legs are so sore. I think there are blisters on the soles of my feet."
As they were talking,
Lawyer An glanced at Xu Qinglang and continued:
"As for you, I can't tell. Your skin is so delicate and your flesh is so pink, but your physique is really good. Is it because of the sea god?"
Xu Qinglang shook his head.
He usually pays more attention to maintenance, but he also always pays attention to exercise.
"There's no signal here, and I don't know if the Taoist priest has woken up. I'm really worried."
"You and the boss both seem to value Lao Dao."
“It shows that my boss and I are both very human.”
Xu Qinglang's mouth twitched slightly, he picked up the beer, took a sip and said nothing.
"The air here is really good. Tell me, if we build a big villa here, no, call it a manor, how comfortable would it be?"
"It'll be lonely, right?"
"There has to be a 24-hour convenience store next to it, a Sichuan restaurant, a Shandong restaurant, a gym, and a spa. The technicians there have to be changed frequently, and there has to be..."
Lawyer An started laughing as he spoke.
"Forget it, I'd better live in the city. I won't be able to be an idle wanderer in my life."
Xu Qinglang left Lawyer An talking to himself while he continued watching TV series on his phone.
Seeing that Lao Xu ignored him, Lawyer An pursed his lips, stood up, and prepared to meditate for a while before taking over in the second half of the night. However, as soon as he stood up, his movements froze.
Xu Qinglang paused the movie directly.
The two looked at each other.
Lawyer An smiled in disbelief.
road:
“Is there really someone who is blind?”
"It's demonic energy." Xu Qinglang said.
A white figure ran out of the camp at a high speed, running faster and faster, almost turning into a white silk thread. After making a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, it disappeared.
"This fox ran so fast, is he going to meet his old lover? I say, after not seeing each other for such a long time, the two of you, oh no, the two of you, won't you just get into a fight?"
Since it was a demon, it must be coming for the white fox.
The old forest is very big, but there are not many monsters in it. Especially in the past hundred years, life has been extremely difficult for the monsters.
On ordinary days, they dare not run out to harm people for nothing. There are gods above our heads, and practicing is not easy. No one wants to be struck by lightning.
Since the white fox had gone out, Lawyer An and Xu Qinglang stopped moving. Lawyer An sat back down again, looking more alert than before.
About half an hour later,
The white fox is back.
Lawyer An has always believed that she was going to meet her old lover. After all, judging from Baihu's charm, she was probably a flower in the old forest of Northeast China, and she must have left many ties.
But the reality is often so cruel and bloody.
The white fox had a huge pig's head in its mouth, and the pig's fangs were very long and scary.
With a "plop" sound,
The wild boar head was thrown by the white fox in front of Lawyer An and Xu Qinglang.
The white fox turned and walked to the kettle, pressed the kettle over with his paws, and began to clean his paws and mouth.
"It's indeed a case of dry wood and raging fire." Xu Qinglang looked at Lawyer An and teased.
"This wild boar demon is also fine. When we humans get married, we still care about whether the two families are well matched. This demon doesn't care about that, not to mention whether the size matches
You deserve it! "
Lawyer An stood up.
Seeing the white fox was about to go back to the tent,
He immediately shouted:
"Hey, bringing back just the head isn't enough for us to eat. Where's the body? I'll go get it."
It's just a pig's head, which is too little. Anyway, if we use less supplies we brought in, one wild boar will be enough for us to eat for a long time.
The white fox stopped.
Turn your head sideways.
Looking at Lawyer An,
In the dark night, the white fox's eyes glowed with a faint green light, and it looked extremely cautious.
The white fox licked its lips with its tongue.
Very red, very red.
In the air,
Suddenly, an extremely strong smell of blood filled the air.
"You ate it all, and only left some pig's head for us?"
The white fox nodded.
"Um, okay, thank you."
Seeing that Lawyer An had nothing more to say, Baihu went back into his tent.
Lawyer An picked up the pig's head, pointed at it, and said to Xu Qinglang:
"Lao Xu, should we marinate it or just slice it? Wouldn't it be too greasy to eat for breakfast?"
"Let's clean it up in the morning. I'll marinate it first and then grill it directly. I brought cumin. If you can't sleep now, you can go pick some wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc."
"OK."
Lawyer An did not leave in a hurry, but lit a cigarette first and said:
“You said, when the boss wanted to build the Animal World, these immortals came to beg for mercy one after another, but now they are in the old forest and they start fighting right away when they meet
and,
This whole pig,
Could it be that for a fox, more tails mean a bigger appetite? I don’t see her eating much on weekdays.”
"Maybe it's due to different factions. If you are interested, you can ask it tomorrow."
Lawyer An blew out a smoke ring.
I picked up the pig's head in my hand and looked at it again.
Then it seemed as if he had discovered something.
Pull the pig's mouth open.
"Hahahaha, this wild boar actually has a big gold tooth. Oh my god, it's so trendy! The world is really going downhill and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. Even monsters worship money like this now. This is unacceptable."
Lawyer An sighed as he tore off the big gold tooth.
I weighed it in my palm for a few times.
Quite substantial.
"There might be a gold mine nearby."
"We are here to find dragon veins, not gold mines."
Upon hearing this, Lawyer An put the gold tooth into his pocket and said unhappily:
"Believe it or not, if I hadn't discovered it earlier, the boss would have eaten this gold tooth at the barbecue tomorrow morning, and he would have asked a few of us to leave the team to find gold mines for him."
Xu Qinglang wanted to say something to refute.
But I think what Lawyer An said makes a lot of sense.
"Okay, I'll go pick some wild vegetables."
"Be careful. In ghost stories, the first person to get into trouble is usually the extra who leaves the team in the middle of the night."
"Bullshit, with my abilities, how could anything go wrong?"
"Those extras would basically say the same lines as you just said."
“… …” Lawyer An.
