Chapter 14: Hellish in the Daylight
The next day, Chen Mo packed his things early and waited for Chen Qi at the intersection, but Chen Qi didn't wait, but waited for the little scholar Zou Minghua. The little scholar said to Chen Mo, "I heard you yelling in the bookstore yesterday, and my second uncle (the owner of the bookstore) asked me to go to Wuze City with you."
Chen Mo said: "It's because listening to my voice, I think my voice is loud and confident, and I am a capable, courageous and reliable person, right?" β
The little scholar shook his head and said, "No, my second uncle said that Chen Qi looked like he was just setting up a stall, but even if he was down, he was still neatly dressed, and he was honest when doing business, which showed that he was an experienced and principled person, and he would not try to misdelict for small profits like others, so it was a good choice to go on the road with him."
Chen Mo was heartbroken, it turned out that she was just that red thread.
It's a pity that the two of them waited all morning and still didn't wait for Chen Qi, and when they went to his residence, they saw that the building was empty.
Chen Mo said to the little scholar, "Did your second uncle see that Chen Qi would leave me and run first?" β
Chen Mo originally teased himself, but the little scholar said seriously, "The second uncle said that you look a little stupid, Chen Qi must be unwilling to take you, and it is estimated that he will leave early in the evening."
Chen Mo exclaimed, "Your second uncle is really a god!" He even counted this, why did he want you to come to me, why didn't you just follow Chen Qi last night! β
Chen Mo touched her chin and thought to herself, she hadn't paid much attention to the owner of this bookstore, but she didn't expect him to feel her situation quite clearly. It seems that you still have to have more eyes in the future, otherwise you don't know when you will be cheated, and you can't help but be a little wary of the little scholar.
The little scholar said seriously: "My second uncle only let me follow you."
Chen Mo sweats wildly, is this her rhythm?
"Why should I take you? Your cultivation is lower than mine, and you can't hold me back! β
"Anyway, the second uncle asked me to follow you"
The little scholar said back and forth, and his second uncle asked him to follow her, so that Chen Mo wanted to rush over and ask him if his second uncle thought this stupid child was too stupid and ready to throw it away.
Chen Mo took a step and the little scholar followed, and in the end, Chen Mo really had no choice but to let him follow. It's not like Chen Qi, who has no morality, no humanity and no righteousness, who actually left her and ran away. The most important thing is that the little boy carries a map with him, so that he does not go the wrong way.
The idea is very good, but Chen Mo is like crying on the way to the road.
"Zou Minghua, do you think we're lost?"
Looking at the familiar big stone in front of her, Chen Mo sat up weakly, she remembered that she had walked past the big stone for the third time, and there was a mark on it that she had deliberately left last time.
"Like, what are we going to do? That's how it goes on the map! "The little scholar Zou Minghua is only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and he has no experience of going out alone.
Chen Mo sighed, sure enough, she shouldn't believe that a child can lead the way.
"Show me the map"
The little scholar took out the map from the bookbox behind him, put it on the big rock, and unfolded it, pointing to a place, "This is our current location, according to the instructions on the map, we should be right."
Chen Mo stared at the map for a while, his expression was firm, his eyes were firm, he nodded from time to time, and his hands dotted back and forth on the map, with an expression that I already understood the reason, and the little scholar couldn't help but ask, "Sister Mo, is there any problem?" β
Chen Mo exhaled calmly and said slowly, "What is this map drawing?" β
The little scholar looked at her with a thunderbolt on his face and exclaimed, "You can't read the map!! Then what did you just look so serious about? β
Chen Mo touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I didn't think I could understand it!" β
In fact, Chen Mo was dumbfounded as soon as the little scholar unfolded the map, but she is also an adult, so she can't even be a baby! Thinking that the map is not like that, it is not enough to distinguish the east, west, north and south and follow it, it turns out that Chen Mo is too stupid and naΓ―ve to break the too young, too simple pattern again. Is this kind of map where several circles represent a mountain and several lines represent a river, can anyone really understand it?
"I've never seen such a stupid person as you, you're old, you're stupid, I don't know why my second uncle wants me to follow you," the little scholar pouted and said with a disgusted expression.
Chen Mo felt that her little heart had been hurt by 10,000 points, when would this kind of life of being despised by children everywhere be a head! Stumble!!!
Chen Mo sat on the big stone, took a trip, crossed his legs and pulled a thatch in his mouth, and said scoundrelly, "You can do it, you are powerful, then you can find the way!" β
The little scholar obviously had never met such a shameless adult as her, and looked at her dumbfounded, "You still want to be shameless, how can you be such a scoundrel as an adult!" β
Chen Mo casually took off a branch next to him, covered it, and said with a single face: "Wow! I don't have a face, so I don't have to have a face."
"You, you, you ......" the little scholar made her ears smoke angrily, and stomped her foot and said angrily, "Okay, you can stay here!" Wait for the monster to come and eat you."
Chen Mo closed his eyes and ignored him, and the little scholar walked forward with the bookcase on his back. Chen Mo thought to himself that they had turned around the forest three times and still hadn't gone out, either they were lost, it was estimated that they were weird, and this little scholar would definitely have to walk back, so he leisurely crossed Erlang's legs and waited for the little scholar to come back by himself. Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Chen Mo heard the footsteps of the little scholar coming back.
Chen Mo got up and quipped, "Oh~ I'm back so soon~"
Seeing the little scholar hanging his head and looking like he had been hit hard, Chen Mo's mood instantly improved, and the internal injuries he hit healed without medicine. Chen Mo admits that she is actually a cautious person.
"What's wrong? Don't speak? The little scholar kept hanging his head and didn't speak, and Chen Mo suddenly didn't hit his heart. Relieved: "Don't do this! I'm kidding, I see the weird tightness in this forest, I think we must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, we have to think about how to get out"
"You're going to take me out?" The little scholar finally spoke.
Chen Mo, who heard his strange voice, thought that he was crying, and it was not good to continue teasing him, so he said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take you out"
"Okay, then you can come with me!" The little scholar seemed to be happy.
Chen Mo asked, "Follow you?" Have you found your way? β
"Well, I found it, you come with me," said the little scholar, and walked forward.
Chen Mo followed and walked out a few steps, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if they were not going outside, but going inside, "Hey, little scholar, are we going in the wrong direction?" β
She casually patted the little scholar in front of her, but she didn't want the little scholar to let out a terrifying cry and turn into a puff of green smoke and leave.
Damn, this is a ghost!
Chen Mo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, just now she just casually said that they encountered a ghost hitting the wall, but she didn't expect it to really come to her, which scared her tank jacket cold, and she always felt that there was something behind her.
Chen Mo took out the obsidian sword, the ninja's scalp was numb, and he turned around slowly, and saw a boy who looked as thin as dry wood smiling at her behind her, the bruised cheeks seemed to be just a layer of thin skin wrapped on it, and when he smiled, his eye sockets were sunken and he couldn't see the pupils, as if he had two black holes on them.
