Outside the wooden house was a hazy night, with gusts of cold wind blowing by, making the stars and moon shine even more ruthlessly cold.
Inside the wooden house, the campfire made a crackling sound. Mo Hanqing was sitting next to the campfire, looking at Ye Qiqi whose head was hitting his shoulder bit by bit, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
He reached out and pushed Ye Qiqi's shoulder, and whispered to her with a hint of surprise in his voice: "Ye Qiqi, did you find anything wrong?"
"What??" Ye Qiqi stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, yawned, looked at Mo Hanqing in a daze and said, "What's wrong?"
"Here." Seeing that she still looked awake, Mo Hanqing simply stretched out his hand and pinched her chubby little face until it hurt so much that tears came out of her eyes, and then continued slowly: " Haven’t you noticed anything wrong since we arrived at this lake??”
"No... Ouch... let go... it hurts so much..." Ye Qiqi replied with tears in her eyes as she patted someone's hand holding her cheek hard with her small hands.
"Didn't you notice... there's no sound here..." Mo Hanqing took back his hand and sat on the ground, looking straight at her with a pair of deep black eyes.
"ah??"
Ye Qiqi was slightly startled.
No sound?
She turned her head and looked outside the cabin.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the leaves swayed and made a "rustle" sound.
"There is a sound. Isn't there the sound of wind and the sound of leaves?" Ye Qiqi tilted her head and listened carefully for a while, then looked at Mo Hanqing with a puzzled look on her face and asked.
"Besides these, there are no other sounds." Mo Hanqing stood up and walked back and forth in the cabin.
Ye Qiqi's big watery eyes followed his figure and turned back and forth.
"When we were next to the stream, we could still hear the chirping of birds and the cries of wild beasts. Occasionally, one or two birds flew through the sky." Mo Hanqing turned around and looked at Ye Qi, who was sitting on the ground. Qi said slowly: "But since we arrived at this lake, we haven't seen any animals. It stands to reason that for such a big lake, there should be many animals coming to drink water... What's more, it's night now, and there are many animals on the mountain. The night has never been so quiet, so quiet that you can’t even hear the chirping of insects.”
"Ah... It seems so..." Ye Qiqi suddenly realized after hearing what he said, "Then let's..."
"We should be in another maze now." Mo Hanqing's eyes revealed a hint of chill, "Those animals will instinctively avoid the maze. Only humans can easily believe what they see in front of them."
"Oh..." Ye Qiqi responded with a vague understanding.
"So, no matter how many flares we set off here, Leng Wei will never be able to find us." Mo Hanqing frowned.
"Then when it gets dark tomorrow, we will go out from this maze and set off the flares." Ye Qiqi blinked and couldn't help but yawned again: "Sir, aren't you sleepy?"
As she spoke, she patted the place beside her and said, "Come on, let's go to bed first..."
"..." On Mo Hanqing's expressionless face, the corners of a pair of thin lips couldn't help but twitch.
