Chapter Ninety-Nine: Astringent
Is it a spirit stone Wu Zhongyuan can see at a glance, he doesn't even need to get started, just by the feeling in his eyes, he can determine that this white jade is a spirit stone, pick it up and look at it carefully, the more certain it is, it is undoubtedly a spirit stone.
"This is the fourth stone chamber, how could he put the spirit stone here?" Wang Xinran was puzzled and surprised.
"But this spirit stone is indeed real. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran shook his head and said, "I don't doubt the authenticity of the spirit stone, I just can't understand how he could put such an important thing here." ”
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, thought for a while, and said, "The spirit stone is very important to us, but it is useless to him, the reason why he put the spirit stone here may be the most suitable place in his opinion." ”
Although Wu Zhongyuan's explanation made sense, it did not fundamentally eliminate Wang Xinran's doubts, and Wang Xinran asked again, "Why does he think it is most appropriate to put the spirit stone here?"
This time, Wu Zhongyuan thought for a longer time, and after dozens of seconds, he spoke, "The questions he asked, especially the last one, it is impossible for anyone else to answer them correctly except for myself, and when he came here, he was able to confirm that the person who came was me, so he put the spirit stone here and let me get it." ”
Seeing that Wang Xinran was about to interject, Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and said, "After you listen to me, there is another explanation for him to put the spirit stone here, that is, the mechanisms in those stone chambers inside are becoming more and more dangerous, and he doesn't want me to continue walking." ”
Seeing Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui stretching their necks outside the door to look inside, Wang Xinran turned around and left the stone platform, "Go out and talk." ”
Wu Zhongyuan took the spirit stone, took the stone box where the spirit stone was stored in his hand, and followed Wang Xinran out of the stone room.
Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui may not have seen the spirit stone before, so they can't be curious, the two of them are in danger, they should let them take a look, Wu Zhongyuan handed the spirit stone to Zhang Shukai, and he inspected the stone box, but this stone box is different from the stone box where the antidote pill is stored, there is no inscription inside and outside this stone box.
Seeing Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui looking at the spirit stone, Wang Xinran grabbed the spirit stone, "Don't look at it, it's scared to death." ”
Wang Xinran stuffed the spirit stone to Wu Zhongyuan, "Put it away, in case something goes wrong, don't suspect that we transferred the bag for you." ”
Wang Xinran's move was really not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in fact, Wu Zhongyuan was indeed not at ease to hand over the spirit stone to others, but he was embarrassed not to show it to them, and when he saw that Wang Xinran returned the spirit stone, he also took the opportunity to put it away, and did not even say anything to justify.
Zhang Shukai handed over Wu Zhongyuan's pistol.
Wu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, reached out to take it, and returned Zhang Shukai's gun to him.
Wu Zhongyuan's actions were carefully watched by Wang Xinran on the side, she naturally knew why Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, because only his pistol could burst the gas cylinder from a safe distance, Zhang Shukai returned his pistol to him, because in Zhang Shukai's opinion, since they had obtained the spirit stone, the four of them did not need to continue to go inside, and Wu Zhongyuan did not want to leave like this.
"Take a break and get out. Wang said happily.
After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui began to organize their belongings, while Wang Xinran lit a cigarette and stood against the wall.
Wu Zhongyuan was very embarrassed, because he got the spirit stone, there was no reason for the three of them to continue to move forward, not to mention that the stone chambers after that were very dangerous, but if they retreated, Zhao Ying and the others would die, but he had no reason to ask the three of them to rescue Zhao Ying, because Zhao Ying was a foreign enemy and an enemy of the three.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Wang happily threw away the cigarette butt and prepared to leave.
No matter how embarrassing it was, Wu Zhongyuan could only speak stiffly, "Just leave?"
"You've got the spirit stone, what else do you want to do?" Wang gladly glanced at him.
"There's a problem that we've all overlooked," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If he just wants us to get here, there's no need to set up those mechanisms in the future, there should be other rewards in the four stone chambers inside." ”
Wang Xinran sneered and squinted, "Go on." ”
Seeing Wang Xinran's expression, Wu Zhongyuan knew that she already knew what she wanted to do, so she could only stubbornly continue, "You have also seen the words on the outermost stone tablet, the stone tablet mentioned that a return gift was prepared for me, this spirit stone did not belong to him in the first place, naturally it was not a return gift, the reward in the four stone chambers inside should be a return gift, the more dangerous the mechanism, the more generous the reward." ”
"Do you want to go inside?" Wang asked with a smile.
"It depends on whether you want to or not. Wu Zhongyuan smiled reluctantly.
"If the black suit wasn't in there, would you go inside?" asked Wang Xinran.
In fact, what Wu Zhongyuan was most afraid of was that Wang Xinran would ask this question, but he also guessed that Wang Xinran would definitely ask this question, and now Wang Xinran really asked, he had a kind of embarrassment and embarrassment that was exposed.
Everyone may be annoyed and angry, and Wu Zhongyuan was also a little annoyed and angry at this moment, but he didn't play hysterically, but said calmly, "You guys go out, I'll go in by myself." ”
"You clearly know that you are now a protected animal, and we can't let you be alone in danger," Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked coldly, "Are you forcing us to take risks with you to save people in disguise?"
"Nope. Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse said.
"Okay, it's good if you don't," Wang nodded happily, "You answer my question head-on, if the black suit is not inside, will you continue to walk inside?"
"There's definitely a reward in it that is equal to the danger. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Don't give me a, answer positively. The king looked at him with pleasure.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, it takes courage to answer this question, not only courage, but also to test whether it is sincere, he hesitated to guess Wang Xinran's possible reaction after telling the truth, and at the same time he was torturing himself, if Zhao Ying was not in it, would he risk his life for the reward.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, the most admonished Lin Qingming by the master when he was alive was that if it was not necessary, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation, which also led to the fact that he never touched dangerous activities such as bungee jumping and rock climbing when he grew up, and there was a price to pay for looking for excitement, even if it was not necessarily an accident, the chance of death or injury was much greater than staying on the ground honestly.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Wang Xinran did not reprimand and ridicule, but turned his head to look at Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui, "There are two sets of respirators outside, bring them over." ”
Long before she spoke, the two had already guessed that they couldn't just leave, and it was not surprising to hear her say this, so they put down their backpacks and went outside to get the respirator.
After the two left, Wang Xinran sighed, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"She didn't hurt me, and I can't leave her alone. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"The reason you saved her was because she didn't hurt you?" Wang asked happily.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It's because she didn't hurt me." ”
Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan again, although he was looking at him, his face looked much better.
Wu Zhongyuan is not a fool, by this time he was already sure that Wang Xinran liked him, and he had also told himself that Wang Xinran liked him on the stone tablet outside the sleeping underground palace of the great wizard, but he also told the modern self that Wang Xinran liked him, but he didn't know when this liking started, in fact, until now he didn't know exactly when it started, but he knew that it had begun.
Once you know that the other party likes you, your mentality will quietly change, and when you look at Wang Xinran again, you feel different, a little more strangely close, and a little excited and nervous.
After making sure that Wang Xinran liked him, the first thing he subconsciously did was to ask himself if he also liked Wang Xinran, and the answer to this question was almost instantaneous, like.
Then he asked himself why he liked Wang Xinran, the first reason he thought of made him feel very superficial, it was actually Wang Xinran who was very good-looking, this was the first instinctive reaction, and then he thought of helping Wang Xinran escape outside the underground palace where the great wizard was, and he did not hesitate to disobey orders or lose his trust, which shows that Wang Xinran is bloody and principled.
In the next few seconds, he thought about whether it was appropriate for him and Wang Xinran to be together, Wang Xinran's personality is more like a man, and he has nothing to do with gentleness, he looks at him at every turn, saying that he wants to do it when he chokes, and the two of them are together, he will definitely be the angry party, and he will be beaten if he doesn't do well, and Wang Xinran also smokes, I heard that women smoking is not good for the next generation.
Wang Xinran naturally didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan had thought of the next generation in just ten seconds, and when he saw him looking at him with his mouth open, his expression was very strange, so he said in disgust, "We help you save people, you still don't want to, right?"
Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly came back to his senses and answered awkwardly, "Oh, yes, well, you're right." ”
"What a mess. Wang gladly looked at him again, his eyes full of contempt and dissatisfaction.
Just this glance made Wu Zhongyuan wonder if he was being amorous, if he liked someone, how could he look at each other with such disgust.
Skillful, smooth, this is the realm that can only be achieved by veterans in the love field, young boys and girls are not smooth at all, nor natural, they are very young, they suffer from gains and losses, and there is no order.
Seeing that Wang Xinran opened his backpack to take water to drink, Wu Zhongyuan also put down his backpack and took a bottle of water, and the self-heating dry food he had stolen before was not finished, so he took a box out, "Are you hungry?"
Wang Xinran didn't answer, and responded to him with a look.
At this time, the footsteps of Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui were already heard in the stone room outside, knowing that the two were coming back, and it was inconvenient to speak afterwards, Wu Zhongyuan said in a low voice, "I don't like her, I just feel that it's not good to leave her here and wait for death." ”
What is self-defeating, this is, not only clumsy, but also very clumsy, Wang Xinran frowned, "What are you telling me about this? What do you like her or not?"
Wu Zhongyuan couldn't be more embarrassed, but fortunately, his reaction was quite alert, "I'm just telling you that I have a position and don't have a ghostly mind." ”
Wang Xinran didn't answer, and glanced at him again.
It's the same look, the meaning is different, the degree is not the same, this look is almost free of hostility and hatred compared to the previous look.
Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui came back with breathing apparatus, disassembled and adjusted the pressure from outside the stone gate, and Wang Xinran sat on a piece of bluestone and smoked.
Wu Zhongyuan unscrewed the water bottle and drank a lot of water to cool himself down, some things can only be thought about in his heart, no matter whether Wang Xinran really likes him or not, it is impossible for him to accept the other party, because he will go back sooner or later......
