20. Chapter 20 Red Breath Tree

Author: fried fermented bean curd

Ji Qinglin asked: "Sister Jiang Ran, are you going to the provincial capital too?"

When asking questions, Ji Qingcheng also looked over, and Jiang Ran nodded, "Since we are leaving the city, we naturally have to go to the provincial capital."

Ji Qingcheng smiled and said: "That's just right. Let's take a companion. We can look after each other on the road and it will be safer."

Ji Qingcheng's words hit Guan Song's fancy. He and Jiang Ran were both very strong, and together with the Ji Qingcheng brothers who practiced martial arts, the probability of reaching the provincial capital safely was very high.

Because the temperature was too high, the five of them rested for a while until their physical discomfort subsided, and then they got up and started on their way.

After packing his backpack and looking at the dense mountains and forests around him, Guan Song asked, "Which way should we go?"

Yu Xiaowan shook her head. In this wilderness and surrounded by woods, it was impossible to tell the direction.

Ji Qinglin looked confused. Ji Qingcheng looked at the sky and suggested, "How about walking along the highway? It's easy to lose your way in the mountains. Don't go further."

Jiang Ran took out his mobile phone, "Well... doesn't the mobile phone have a compass?"

Everyone: "..."

Ji Qinglin was surprised and said, "Hey, Sister Jiang Ran, do you still have your mobile phone with you?"

The city has been experiencing a power outage for several days, and many people's mobile phones have long since run out of battery. In addition, there is no network signal and they cannot make calls. The mobile phone is just a brick, and most people just throw it away.

Jiang Ran nodded, "There are many offline gadgets on your phone, such as calculators, compasses, calendars, radios, offline maps, etc., which are all very useful."

"really."

Guan Song nodded in agreement, and Yu Xiaowan pinched his back because she left her mobile phone in the underground parking lot without taking it out.

Guan Song took a deep breath, quickly hugged his wife in his arms, and gave her an "I was wrong" look.

Ji Qingcheng continued: "The place we just left is about 15 kilometers away from Xiping County, and then we kept running north. The provincial capital is probably in the west."

"Let me see."

Jiang Ran took out his phone, looked for it on the offline map, and estimated, "Our location should be here, right?"

Ji Qingcheng and others came over to take a look. Yu Xiaowan was next to Jiang Ran, Guan Song was beside Yu Xiaowan, and Ji Qingcheng was on the other side of Jiang Ran.

Looking at the map on his phone, Ji Qingcheng analyzed: "At this location, we should be able to walk to the provincial capital along the seven o'clock direction."

Jiang Ran and the other two nodded, and Ji Qingcheng continued: "Looking at the map, if you go in the mountains, this line is relatively safe..."

The four of them were discussing among themselves, with Jiang Ran and Guan Song nodding from time to time.

Ji Qinglin stood outside the crowd, looking at Jiang Ran and the four people who were in a group in confusion. He was puzzled. Wasn't he standing next to the beautiful sister just now? Why was he replaced by the old brother all of a sudden?

However, he soon discovered that his brother's eyes would unconsciously fall on Jiang Ran next to him, and he suddenly became energetic.

hey-hey.

Brother, I caught your weakness. If you bully me again in the future, I won’t help you chase your wife.

well.

Thinking of this, Ji Qinglin couldn't help but sigh. His brother, this big piece of wood, was going to have a wife soon, but where was his wife? She was worried.

Jiang Ran and the four of them discussed the route seriously. In such weather and with monsters outside, they definitely couldn't take the asphalt road.

But there is nothing in the mountains, and they don't know how many difficulties they will encounter along the way. In order to find supplies conveniently, they can't stray too far from the road.

The four people discussed it for a long time and finally decided on a route that everyone was satisfied with.

"Since everyone agrees, it's decided."

Ji Qinglin was thinking about how to bring his brother and his beautiful sister together when he suddenly heard his brother's voice and he came back to his senses.

"No, you haven't asked me for my opinion yet? Why have you decided?"

The four of them all looked up at Ji Qinglin. Jiang Ran blinked, as if he had indeed forgotten that there was a little brother there.

Yu Xiaowan smiled, but she didn't expect that this younger brother was quite cute.

Guan Song coughed awkwardly, and Ji Qingcheng said calmly: "You are not yet an adult, so there is no need to ask for your opinion. As your guardian, I just agree."

Ji Qinglin: "..."

Okay! People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Who told him to eat and drink from his brother now?

Ji Qinglin looked at his brother with resentment. Ji Qingcheng felt a little guilty. He touched Ji Qinglin's head and his voice became gentler, "This is how it happened."

Jiang Ran almost laughed.

I originally thought that Ji Qingcheng would say a few words of comfort to his younger brother, but unexpectedly, such a sentence came out. It seems that the family tradition is such.

Suddenly, Jiang Ran felt a little envious. Their family should be very happy. It was not like her who had nothing, no one liked her, no one cared about her, and no one she could rely on.

Ji Qingcheng turned his back to Jiang Ran and did not see her emotional changes, but Ji Qinglin had been paying attention to Jiang Ran, his future sister-in-law. He wanted to help his brother catch his wife and become the best brother-in-law in history.

"Alas." He sighed in a pretentious manner, "Who asked me to be considerate? I will forgive you for being rude."

Ji Qinglin turned around and walked towards the provincial capital. After taking two steps, he found that no one was following him, so he turned around and said, "Let's go."

Ji Qingcheng raised his hand and pointed in another direction, saying helplessly: "This way."

"oh."

Ji Qinglin blinked and continued walking in the direction pointed by his brother.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but smile. This younger brother is quite interesting. Although he has bold ideas, he is also a nice person.

Afterwards, everyone hurried to follow.

Because the temperature was too high, the group moved very slowly. They had to stop and rest after walking for a while, otherwise their bodies would not be able to bear it.

Stopping to rest again, Ji Qinglin lay on the ground without any image, looking at the blue sky helplessly, "I can't walk, I really can't walk. Why are we rushing under such a hot sky?"

Jiang Ran also sat down, "Because I want to survive."

Helping Yu Xiaowan to sit down, Guan Song suggested: "Why don't we rest for a while and wait until it gets cooler before we continue our journey."

Ji Qingcheng nodded. He couldn't hold it any longer. The weather was too hot.

After looking around, Jiang Ran picked up a wooden stick and stirred it in the grass. When he saw that all the animals he saw were normal animals, he felt relieved.

After taking a sip of water, she suddenly noticed a very bright red color among the greenery in the distance, so she got up and walked over.

Ji Qinglin was curious, so he followed him. The two of them also attracted the attention of Ji Qingcheng and Guan Song.

Jiang Ran took the wooden stick and slowly approached the red one. It was a small shrub that was blood red from leaves to buds to rhizomes. It had three white fruits the size of cherries, which looked very attractive.
