Chapter 55 Encounter by chance
On the evening of the fourth day, as the light was getting darker and night was approaching, it was the time when some dangerous monsters left their nests to find food. Jiang Chen stopped rushing to drive a brown bear out of the cave, and lived in with Miss Gao.
Jiang Chen used a few branches to separate the two people as the boundary between men and women.
After running around all day, both of them had no strength to speak, so they ate some dried fruits and then fell asleep.
After a while, Jiang Chen suddenly woke up and heard a rustling sound of footsteps stepping on the grass leaves.
He opened his eyes and stood up, lay at the entrance of the cave and looked out, and saw several blurry figures walking towards him in the night.
Judging from the figure, it seems to be two women.
Jiang Chen was secretly alert. Chi Yang said that in the netherworld forest, hunters are not only hunters, but also robbers. The woman who was rushing through the wilderness in the middle of the night must be not ordinary hunters.
He quietly moved two branches to cover the hole, cat-chested, and looked out through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
The wind and grass were whirling, and the branches and leaves were whispering, and the sound of the two women's low conversations came into his ears.
"The first time I saw a bear that would pretend to be dead, it was so cunning..."
"The bear was originally injured, and the monster that injured it may be nearby, so we should not be careless."
"Miss, don't worry, since the bear can escape alive, it means its opponent is not strong."
"It's better to be careful..."
Jiang Chen felt that the voices of these two people were familiar, and was about to observe carefully, but suddenly he heard Miss Gao's scream from behind: "Where is the branch?"
"Shh--" Jiang Chen hurriedly turned around and gestured to silence.
In the darkness, Miss Gao couldn't see it clearly. While fumbled into the ground with her hands, she shouted: "Boy, where have you moved the branches? Are you planning to be ill-intentioned to me?"
"Don't make a sound! There are people outside!"
After this reminder, not only Miss Gao became quiet, but the two women outside also stopped and observed the movement here with caution.
After a brief silence, a woman spoke, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, let's leave now."
Jiang Chen finally recognized her identity at this time. It turned out that she was Lin Xi, the "yin god master" she met when she visited Xue's mansion a few days ago. Unexpectedly, she also came to the Netherworld Forest.
Before Jiang Chen could respond, Miss Gao shouted behind her: "It's you! Little bitch!"
Miss Gao's voice was a little hoarse, and Lin Xi outside didn't hear it at first, but the familiar name finally recalled her memory: "Hmm? It's really a coincidence that I met here."
"Little bitch, I'm still wandering outside in the middle of the night, there's nowhere to go! Poor and pitiful!"
"Of course I can't compare to your Miss Gao. Someone can help warm the bed in the middle of the night."
"Bitch! Do you dare to defame my reputation?"
"Am I wrong?"
"A bitch full of dirty minds! Jiang Chen, tell her the truth!"
After hearing the two of them quarreled for a long time, Jiang Chen finally understood what Lin Xi said about "a bit of friendship" with Miss Gao.
The two women outside all seem to be acquaintances—
One is the top of the "Qunfangcao" list, Lin Xi; the other is one of the "Three Thieves in Western Liao" who once had the idea of Jiang Chen's jade pendant, and the "Fragrant Thieves" Lin Shuixian!
Jiang Chen coughed lightly, moved away the branches at the entrance of the hole, stood up and walked out of the hole.
"Miss Lin, we're meeting again."
"It's you!" Lin Shuixian looked shocked and took several steps back nervously, lifting her sleeves slightly, ready to scent the fragrance at any time.
On the contrary, Lin Xi's expression was as usual: "Congratulations to Young Master Jiang, I have already been holding the beauty back after a few days. I am so happy!"
The hazy moon shines on her body, and a faint bloody color is oozing in the coldness.
This woman, who ranked first in "Qunfangpu", was calm and elegant even though her clothes were cut into pieces and her body was stained with blood.
Lin Shuixian, who was also in white, stood next to Lin Xi and became a foil.
Jiang Chen noticed that under Lin Xi's feet, her shadow cast between the branches and leaves. Although it was dim, it was very real. This shows that she was not in the state of "yin god", but a real body.
"Jiang Chen, you talk!" Miss Gao pushed him from behind.
Jiang Chen didn't want to intervene in the quarrel between her, but it was related to Miss Gao's reputation, so he had to explain a few words: "Miss Lin misunderstood, we are not what you think..."
Lin Xi had only said casually, but when she glanced at Miss Gao's messy clothes, she felt a little murmur in her heart.
Lin Shuixian, who was standing beside him sneered: "Look at you two, you are alone, widowed and widowed, and you are not dressed. You insist that there is nothing, who believes it!"
Although she was still a little afraid of Jiang Chen, she thought she had already held a big and thick leg and was supported by the eldest lady of the Lin family. It was time to be proud.
Miss Gao said angrily: "A lowly slave, you don't have the share of your words here!"
"Who are you calling me?"
"Who else can it be? Masters, go get out and chew bones!"
Although Miss Gao's image is a bit sloppy and embarrassed, her innate arrogance and natural contemptuous expression made Lin Shuixian very angry.
But Lin Xi waved his hand at this time, making Lin Shuixian feel so angry that she can't help but feel so angry.
"Now is not the time to argue." Lin Xi said, "It's very dangerous in the forest. Since we have met together, we should abandon our past grudges and work together."
"Little bitch said nicely..."
"To show sincerity, I can first distribute some of your rations and water bags."
"Food ration?" Miss Gao's eyes fell on several bags that Lin Shuixian was carrying, showing an inspiring expression, "Hmph, since you begged me so humbly, I will forgive you with mercy. Take out what rations you have, hurry up!"
These days, I have been hungry and full with Jiang Chen these days, relying on dried fruits to survive. When Miss Gao heard about what she had eaten, her eyes were full of green light.
Although Lin Shuixian was quite dissatisfied, at Lin Xi's request, she took out the dry food and jerky left that they had, and distributed it to Jiang Chen and Miss Gao. The two sides shook hands and made peace and temporarily became companions.
While eating dry food, both sides simply exchanged the news.
Only then did Jiang Chen learn that Lin Xi was indeed here for the temple.
She originally summoned a lot of people on this trip, all of whom were smart and capable hunters. However, she was not good at getting out and encountered a swarm of poisonous bees. Half of the hunters became poisonous bees' lunch. On the way to escape, they were attacked by ghost lizards, and three companions were broken. The remaining few people were also separated halfway. Only she and Lin Shuixian ran out, which was a heavy loss.
Lin Xi was very sorry when she heard about Chi Yang's death in battle and comforted Jiang Chen a few words.
Both teams experienced painful failures, which can be regarded as mutual sympathy, and the distance was much closer.
Miss Gao filled her stomach and started fighting with her eyelids, yelling to go to bed.
There was no crowd of four people in the cave, so Jiang Chen asked all three women to go into the cave to rest and stay outside to watch.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Jiang." Lin Xi bowed gently and slapped into the cave. He felt a warm feeling surge on his body, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen watched them in, covered the hole with branches for them, and then sat down against the rock wall, ready to close his eyes and rest.
After two breaths, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and he felt like a pair of eyes were looking at him.
This is the prompt of the spiritual consciousness of the god-refining person. He immediately opened his eyes and focused his mind behind the grass two meters away, and saw a blurry figure behind the tree.
The man was hiding in the dark, his figure and the shadow of the tree were almost integrated. If Jiang Chen hadn't been throbbing in his heart, he would have easily overlooked it.
Jiang Chen's hair was standing upright and subconsciously held the dagger in his sleeve.
He couldn't feel the aura of that living person, just like... a ghost.
That person has been there all the time, or has it suddenly appeared?
