The flame burned down the tied oil rope and landed on the copper oil lamp at Asen's feet like a slender fiery snake.

"It's hot, it's hot!"

Ah Sen screamed and picked up the hands attached to the sides of the copper oil lamp, hugged his face and began to shake from side to side, "It's about to burn down, it's about to burn!" ”

Asen is worthy of a rabbit, and he is such a gentleman even shouting for help.

Without thinking too much about it, she removed the longbow from her back and pulled the burning oil rope away, "It's okay,"

Twilight put the cooled copper oil lamp back into Asen's short hand, "I accidentally touched the wall of the lamp just now. ”

The hook claw hung on the edge of the torch and could not be recovered, so Twilight looked down at Ye Qian and signaled that everything was okay to reassure her.

No surprises.

It seems that even if you don't get the "clearance key" in this level

, and there will be nothing like the previous quagmire whirlpool.

Thinking so, Twilight loosened the rattan that had been tied to her waist, intending to tie it to the rock at her feet and climb down the rattan herself.

"Ahh Twilight-sama! ”

Ah Sen was holding the copper oil lamp in a daze, and he was almost frightened to jump, "Snake! ”

A giant black snake suddenly appeared, the black green snake's protective color was perfect, and it blended in with the surrounding rocks.

The giant snake was not in a hurry, and first spit out the letter provocatively, as if greeting an old friend who had been absent for a long time.

Then, it swam down the mossy rocks, leisurely but fast.

Twilight grabbed Arsen and placed it on her shoulder, holding the half-wrapped rattan in the rock in her hand.

"It's too late for the snake."

Twilight gritted her teeth and estimated the time it would take to tie the rattan and slide down the rattan, and her mind quickly calculated the plan, which she soon had to abandon.

Twilight suddenly had another plan, bowed her head and said to Ye Qian, who was standing on the rock below, "Listen, Ye Qian, I'll say jump later, you pull the rattan and jump backwards, I'll jump forward, and let the rattan hang us on that stone!" ”

"What?"

Ye Qian's face turned pale and said, "I, I can't hold ......"

Twilight looked at her firmly, "If you're really scared, just let go...... I can swim up from the pool. ”

"No,"

Ye Qian looked down in fear at the distance between Twilight Xi and the waterhole, "It's too high, you'll get hurt!" ”

They had lost their mechanical hooks, the ropes of their stockings were burning out, the sun was setting in the sky to the west, and it was almost dusk, and there was no chance of them starting all over again until night came.

When it came to the end, Twilight swallowed nervously.

"Asen, protect the copper oil lamp."

She said a word to Ah Sen, and began to shout at Ye Qian, "One! ”

"Twilight, there must be another way! Don't jump! You're going to be okay! ”

Ye Qian said desperately, "No, I don't know, oh my God, what to do now!" ”

"Two!"

"Snakes! The snake! It's too close! Twilight, get out of there, no, go to the side, Hookclaw...... Cane! ”

"Three!"

Ye Qian's incoherent voice gradually faded away, but the sound of the wind in his ears became clearer, Ah Sen sandwiched the copper oil lamp between his stomach and Twilight's neck, carefully arched his body to protect the little candle flame, and the rattan that Twilight Xi was holding in his hand fell uncontrollably.

Did Ye Qian let go?

This suspicion was dispelled by the taut rattan in the next second.

Twilight tiptoed to the ground, while Ye Qian hung underneath the rock, sobbing quietly.

She jumps off before Twilight hits the ground!

An uncontrollable smile bloomed on Twilight's face, she had thought about it, but she didn't expect the help she received from Ye Qian to be so uplifting.

There seemed to be something warm in my heart that was about to overflow, "Ye Qian, Ye Qian!" ”

She shouted vigorously, wanting to convey her mood to Ye Qian, "I'm fine!" Don't be afraid! ”

The serpent still hovered above them, a thin mist shrouded around it, blurring the difference between the rock and the snake's body, and only the bright red letter could confirm that the serpent was swimming back in the direction of the torch.

Ye Qian's eyebrows still had teardrops on her eyebrows, but she also began to calm down after seeing the giant snake gradually disappear by the torch.

Ye Qian crawled back to the rock, then wrapped the rattan around the rock, and crawled back to the ground along the rattan, holding Twilight's hand, only to find that their shoulders were still trembling slightly.

It is not caused by the pain of being abrasively by the rattan when jumping down before, but a physiological phenomenon caused by a mixture of feelings such as fear, excitement and joy.

"We,"

Ye Qian swallowed her saliva and paused unnaturally in the middle of the sentence, "Go back." ”

"Hmm."

Twilight nodded, "I owe you once." ”

For the sake of his previous point to test the other party's selfishness.

Ye Qian shook her head, "No, I owe you...... I ...... before"

Twilight pressed her hand against Ye Qian's lips, stopping her from saying something before she could speak.

This action made Ye Qian once again reveal the shyness that Twilight Xi was familiar with, and she turned her head uncomfortably to avoid Twilight's hand and quieted down.

"Let's just settle it, okay?"

Twilight took off the empty copper oil lamp from Ye Qian's waist - the oilcloth that had been stuffed inside had been replenished to the long rope, and it had also been turned into ashes in the torch along with their socks - and poured the excess lamp oil that Ah Sen had taken out into it, and lit it for her with her own candle, "We're friends, right?" ”

Ye Qian held the oil lamp and nodded vigorously towards Duxi Xi.

On the way back, Asen kept looking at the two of them curiously from Twilight's shoulder, but he silently held the copper oil lamp and didn't say anything.

Twilight never let go of the hand holding Ye Qian, and Ye Qian's strength in holding her back never lessened.

As if they could draw strength from this hand-holding, the two of them walked through the forest and returned to the grass outside the castle.

"I—I was afraid that you would let go after I jumped."

Ye Qian suddenly pulled Twilight Xi before they could get out of the forest mist, "You made me want to believe that there would be friends here, so I ...... I jumped off with my eyes closed. ”

She pursed her lips, "What Teacher H said is wrong...... Maybe I can't even get up to the third grade, why should I be like everyone else, with only rankings in my eyes and no friends? ”

"No,"

Twilight shook her head, "We're going to be in third grade together, and we need to know the truth." ”

Ye Qian's eyes widened, "What truth?" ”

"A lot."

Twilight squeezed Ye Qian's palm, "Didn't you ever doubt it?" We may have lived in other places. ”

Ye Qian covered her mouth, "Don't tell anyone else about this, you will be sent to the school hospital!" ”

"I'm just telling you."

Twilight smiled helplessly, "But I ...... I'll find proof. ”

Ye Qian looked at her, like Don Quixote who was charging at the windmill, and like looking at the righteous man who rescued the child who fell into the water and fought the gangsters, "I won't sue anyone." ”

She promised, "If I can help you......"

"I'll speak."

Twilight took her hand and started walking again, "If there's anything I need your help with, I'm not welcome." ”

Ye Qian blushed for her previous statement, she didn't know what she could help the other party at all, but she still responded softly and made her own promise.

When they came out of the forest, they found Kururie and the other first-graders standing on the grass with their backs to them, and the blue-haired second-graders were kneeling behind them, their bodies shaking.

“…… Erase the punishment, execute. ”

An indifferent voice announced.
