He Hailan and Qiao Ran spent a night in the forest, and they didn't find a place to rest until it was almost dawn, although it was still very hot in the autumn, but the temperature would drop after entering the night, and neither of them had fire, so naturally there was no way to drill wood to make fire, so the two simply kept finding a way out of the forest and rested until dawn.
He Hailan leaned on the book, looked at the fox that was still following the two of them, looked up at the sun in the sky again, and pursed his lips, "What time is it now?" β
"It's about ten o'clock." Qiao Ran replied.
When there were only the two of them, Qiao Ran and her talked very casually, both of them were people of the twenty-first century, and they pretended to be ancients in front of other people on weekdays, but now there are only two of them, so there is no need to hide them.
He Hailan leaned against the tree, "I found that this place is very small, but the two of us can't get out." β
"There should be some kind of enchantment here, maybe this is how these foxes protect themselves." Qiao Ran looked at the foxes who were not far from them and chuckled, "Didn't you say that foxes can do illusions?" Maybe these foxes have cast an illusion here, and trapped the two of us here. β
He Hailan was amused by him, "I found you to be quite funny, you used to read Xianxia texts, right?" β
"When I'm bored, I watched it to pass the time." Qiao Ran stood up as she spoke, "Let's go, find some water to drink." β
He Hailan also stood up, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I smell the smell of water nearby, if I'm not mistaken, there should be an undercurrent nearby, or..."
The two glanced at each other, "There are no wonders in the world, otherwise why would we cross." β
Qiao Ran stretched out his hand to He Hailan, He Hailan glanced at Qiao Ran awkwardly, although he knew that Qiao Ran was a woman inside, but now he was always a man's body!
Qiao Ran naturally guessed what He Hailan was thinking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and walked forward, "I hope it's not wrong this time." β
The two didn't know how far they had walked, He Hailan suddenly stopped, she looked at the big stone on that side, her brows furrowed tightly, "Did we find this big stone last night?" β
"Noβ" Before Qiao Ran's words fell, the foxes who had followed them from a distance had already stepped forward, and they looked at them vigilantly, showing their teeth at them, as if they took one step further and they would fight as hard as they were.
He Hailan pulled Qiao Ran a step back, "There's something strange here. β
Qiao Ran bowed his head, "I can see it, it seems that these foxes are really fox spirits." β
He Hailan didn't speak, she didn't dare to confirm whether these foxes were vixens or not, but she could confirm that there was something wrong with these foxes, and there was also a problem with this stone.
"There could be an exit here." Qiao Ran said in a deep voice.
"Just try it." He Hailan looked at those foxes, pursed his lips and said, "I calculated, there are dozens of foxes here, if we have the time to open this stone quickly, we can fight with these foxes." β
Qiao Ran calculated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "No, these foxes haven't hurt us all the time, and I can't do it." β
The corners of He Hailan's eyes twitched, and she said as if she could do it, these foxes are cute, okay? He Hailan touched her body helplessly, her eyebrows raised slightly, "There is a drug!" β
Although I don't know if these drugs are useful for these foxes, but these drugs are useful for mice, cats and dogs, so she simply tried it, saying that He Hailan reached out and sprinkled the drug on the bodies of those foxes, and those foxes who were already fierce became even more fierce, and they pounced on He Hailan with bared teeth.
He Hailan turned around decisively and ran, those foxes pounced on Qiao Ran again, jumped hard and grabbed a branch and climbed directly up the tree, He Hailan watched Qiao Ran go up a tree so easily, those foxes came to chase her again, she wailed, scolding Qiao Ran for not being righteous, "How can you be like this!" β
"You just turned around and ran!" Qiao Ran smiled and looked at He Hailan, who was chased by the fox, "Now blame me for not being righteous, isn't it a bit of a double standard?" β
He Hailan glared at Qiao Ran vigorously, while secretly glaring that he had never slacked off running, even if he ran now, it would not be too difficult, otherwise he would have lost his strength a long time ago.
At this moment, He Hailan suddenly stepped into the air, and the whole person fell...
Qiao Ran saw He Hailan suddenly sink from that place, her eyes widened, and she jumped down without having time to think about it, He Hailan landed first, and then watched Qiao Ran fall, He Hailan's eyes blinked, and then fainted.
When she woke up again, the two had been tied up, He Hailan blinked her eyes, glanced at Qiao Ran, and asked Qiao Ran what happened with her eyes, Qiao Ran's mouth was also sealed at this time, he glanced at He Hailan lazily, raised his chin, and at this time a slightly poorly dressed man came over and pointed at the two with a spear, "Tell me how the two of you broke in!" β
He Hailan secretly rolled her eyes, big brother, you sealed both of our mouths, what do we two want to say? You said one to take a look!
The man seemed to realize his mistake, he coughed, reached out and tore the cloth off their mouths, and asked, "How did you two end up in our village!" β
He Hailan's eyes rolled, tears swirled in her eyes all of a sudden, she looked at the man, and said sadly, "Big brother, my brother and I are two of us from a medical family, the day before yesterday, my brother and I went up the mountain to collect medicine, who knew that we fell into the cliff, and when we woke up, there were foxes all around, which scared us, and we got up and ran, but we ran all night without exiting, and then I was chased by a fox, and then fell into a sinkhole, when I woke up, I was already here, where is this?" β
The man glanced at He Hailan suspiciously, "What you said is true?" β
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, send someone to find my father, my father can't find us, and the two brothers and sisters must be looking for us now." Saying that, He Hailan's tears had come out, she turned over and knelt on the ground, looking up at the man, "Big brother, please take us home, our family must have a lot of thanks." β
"I can't get out." The man glanced at He Hailan deeply, "Since the two of you have already arrived here, no matter what reason the two of you came here, since you are here, you will wait here, and when the patriarch comes, I will send you down." β
"What kind of clan are you here?" He Hailan asked.
"The Dead." The man said coldly.
He Hailan stiffened.
