Zheng Xiaojie looked at the sky, it was still early before dawn, so she asked Brother Zhen to sleep again. But after the two lay down, they couldn't fall asleep over and over. There is no way, this is late in the middle of the night, and they are completely sleepy.

"Forget it, don't sleep!" Brother Zhen got up first, added wood to the fire, and made the fire burn.

The so-called huddle for warmth, it stands to reason that it is a good thing to meet people, especially the people who are in the original lover fortress, but Brother Zhen feels faintly uneasy. Zheng Xiaojie said that his mother had offended people, and she had also offended that Li's mother, which was naturally one of the reasons. But Brother Zhen's feelings seem to be more than that. He found that Mama Li was always glancing at herself while talking to Zheng Xiaojie, and she always felt very awkward when she looked at herself from time to time.

"Sister, I think you promised too quickly," he mused, "must we go to them?" ”

"If I don't want to, do you think it's okay?" Zheng Xiaojie asked.

Brother Zhen couldn't answer. Since they are acquaintances, they let you go and live together, so it doesn't seem appropriate for you not to go.

"Don't you worry about them?"

"Yes! To be honest, I didn't even have time to ask if it was their people who stole our reserve food," Brother Zhen said, "I think they probably found out about us a long time ago, but I don't know why they only showed up today, and they put on a posture of going to do a big job!" ”

Zheng Xiaojie didn't answer, she was actually very worried in her heart. Mother Li always looked at Brother Zhen, she didn't see it, she just felt that it was not easy to pierce. Brother Zhen is not a child but a man, she knows this best. In this world without men, Mama Li's eyes were meaningful, but she didn't dare to say it to Brother Zhen.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Zheng Xiaojie's contemplative look, Brother Zhen asked.

"I'm wondering if we can change places," Zheng Xiaojie said, "Let's go south for a while, what do you say?" ”

"Don't go to them, avoid them?"

"Yes," Zheng Xiaojie said, "let's just go back to the coast, back to the place where we first arrived at the beach...... That's right, it's the old dragon head ruins. It's not as cold as it is here, and it's easy to find food, you say? ”

"Good!" Brother Zhen thought for a while and said, "Let's go immediately!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately jumped up and ran out of the door, and began to get down the stored food and put it into a bag woven by Zheng Xiaojie with nettles to take away. And Zheng Xiaojie has already started to barbecue, ready for the two of them to have a full meal and go on the road.

The things are packed, and the stomach is full. Brother Zhen extinguished the fire in the firepit, carried the nettle bag on his back, and the two quietly went out.

They had not gone far when they saw two bonfires in front of them, around which more than a dozen people were cooking. Since this was a bend in a forest path, they couldn't avoid the campfire when they saw it.

"You guys came out so early?" One of them took the initiative to greet them: "Mama Li told us to wait here, and let us help you move as soon as it was dawn, but I didn't expect you to be more anxious than us." ”

"I can't sleep, so let's move early!" Brother Zhen wanted to give them a random shot, but he held back: "It's just right, we have one less pocket, and there are still some things there, you can help them get them!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zheng Xiaojie hurriedly said: "It's all beast meat that we worked so hard to get, and it's a pity to lose it." ”

The one who spoke immediately told the two men to take their pockets.

"Come, I'll get it for you!" She was also very enthusiastic to help Brother Zhen carry his pocket, and Brother Zhen gave her the pocket.

"Let's go!" As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Xiaojie at the same time and shook his head slightly.

Of course, Zheng Xiaojie understands that it seems that Mama Li has been prepared and sent someone to guard the intersection. As for why she did this, Zheng Xiaojie certainly couldn't guess. She only vaguely realized that this was probably related to Brother Zhen.

But at this time, she didn't dare to say anything, just secretly pinched Brother Zhen's hand.

Brother Zhen also squeezed Zheng Xiaojie's hand hard, which was an answer. Although he is the son of Sister Zhen and the overlord of the land, he has not experienced the suffering of not having enough food and clothing, but he has experienced hardships mentally. When he was very young, he was kidnapped by Zhao Mengyao, and the mental shock he experienced during that time was unforgettable for his life.

Later, when he came to the dungeon, what happened when he was fourteen years old, he was isolated as an alternative and suffered alone. That kind of torment in the depths of his soul sowed to him a distrust of anyone and a vague hostility. When Zheng Xiaojie told him that his mother, Sister Zhen, had offended Mama Li, although he didn't specifically say how she offended, he was already hostile to Mama Li.

What's more, now that I found out that Mama Li actually sent someone to wait at the intersection, isn't this to prevent them from escaping!

So it can be said that he knows better than Zheng Xiaojie in his heart the danger implied by their current situation. It's just that everything is not clear now, so he can only endure it first and brake quietly.

But unexpectedly, Mama Li was extremely enthusiastic when she saw them. She shushed and asked for warmth, and was busy settling them down. What Mama Li arranged for them was the best place in the camp, where there was a hot spring.

"This hot spring is the main heating host of our camp," Li Ma said, "Our whole camp is built around this hot spring, so that even though we are in the cold north, we can live more comfortably." ”

"What a godsend!" Zheng Xiaojie was surprised when she saw it: "However, just this hot spring, is it enough for the entire camp to heat up?" ”

"Yes, enough! Our camp is not big, just over a square kilometer," Li Ma said, "You see, we have put a roof above the hot springs so that the heating will not run away." A few more closed pipes were built through which hot water could be piped throughout the camp. ”

"What a miracle!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "I thought that the north would definitely keep the bonfire out all day long!" ”

"But in order to grab this place, it took a lot of effort...... "Mother Li said, pointing to a room: "This is the accommodation arranged for you, are you satisfied with going to see it!" ”

They went into the room together, which was about seven or eight square meters in size, and the contents were all made of local materials. The innermost part of the room was a bed made of wood, with tables, chairs and benches, and a mud stove by the door, on which a small iron pot was placed. Mama Li didn't tell them that this was one of the best rooms in the entire camp.

"Thank you, Mama Li!" Zheng Xiaojie said gratefully: "It's just that we don't know what everyone lives on here, and what rules there are in the camp." ”

"Basically, they still make their own living, of course, everyone here is a family, and it is inevitable to help each other take care of each other," Li's mother said: "As for the rules, of course there are, you can understand them slowly." ”

As she spoke, she saw a few people bringing things from their bungalows, and she said, "Look, they've brought your things!" You didn't sleep last night, did you? Get some sleep first, and we'll talk when you're rested. ”

"Thank you, Mama Li, thank you!"

Mother Li left with someone, and only Zheng Xiaojie and Brother Zhen were left in the house, and Zheng Xiaojie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," Zheng Xiaojie looked relaxed: "It seems that there is no problem." ”

"Does Mama Li know about your relationship with the traverser?" Brother Zhen, who had been following behind without saying a word, only spoke at this time. As soon as he opened his mouth, he still looked uneasy.

"You should know......

After the traverser arrived here, he was with the three girls Yiru, Lin Lin, and Zheng Xiaojie at the earliest. As an old man in the couple's fortress, of course he knows what the relationship between Zheng Xiaojie and the traverser is.

"Since she knows, she won't ask, so she will put you and me in the same room?"

"Let's take a break!" Zheng Xiaojie was also a little apprehensive in her heart. Mama Li knew the relationship between Zheng Xiaojie and the traverser, and also knew that Qin Haoyang was the son of the traverser, so it seemed that the two of them were in the same room...... But she just didn't ask anything.

Brother Zhen didn't say anything, his face was very solemn.

"What are you worried about her intentions?" Seeing that Brother Zhen was very worried, Zheng Xiaojie said, "Let's take a step and see a step!" At least for now, she's pretty good to us. It's so close to the hot springs, it's probably the best part of the camp. She arranged us here, which shows that she still values nostalgia. ”

"That's right!" "But this is also the middle of the whole camp, so if we want to run, it's not very convenient!" …… Of course, I don't care! ”

Brother Zhen said, fell asleep, and after a while, he snored. He really doesn't care, the dungeon is so tightly managed, didn't he take the opportunity to run out? It's such a broken camp, he wants to leave, can you stop him?

Zheng Xiaojie couldn't sleep. Of course she was worried, Mama Li was so warm and thoughtful, but she was even more worried. She and Brother Zhen have nothing to look up to, there is nothing to be gained from them, the only thing that can be made is Brother Zhen!

She thought about it at the beginning, so she wanted to run away with Brother Zhen. But alas, they didn't make it.

But she didn't know whether to tell Brother Zhen or not.

She couldn't sit still, so she walked out the door, thinking about simply going to Mama Li.

She walked outside, not knowing where to go, so she asked someone. Following the direction pointed out by the man, she found the place where Li's mother lived.

There were many people sitting in the room, and a few Zheng Xiaojie saw that they were familiar, and they were probably also people from the couple's fortress.

"Why don't you take a break?" As soon as she saw Zheng Xiaojie, Li's mother asked with concern.

"I can't sleep," Zheng Xiaojie said with a smile: "I'm a little excited to meet my old friend in another country." ”

"Huh! Then sit down for a while......" Mama Li smiled and invited Zheng Xiaojie to sit down: "These people are also people from the couple's fortress, do you recognize them?" ”

Zheng Xiaojie greeted those people.

"This is my daughter Li Ling'er, do you remember?" Mother Li pointed to a woman about thirty-four or five years old who brought Zheng Xiaojie a glass of water and said, "It seems to be two or three years younger than you......

Zheng Xiaojie looked at Li Ling'er, stood up and hugged her: "Of course I remember, we used to play together at that time!" It's just that Ling'er has grown up, and she doesn't dare to recognize it all of a sudden! ”
