The night was dark.

Two figures walked out of the gate of Blackwood Town.

These two people are Chen Yin and Uncle Tim.

I don't know if it's because Chen Yin made a big fuss at the mayor's house, and there are no militiamen on duty at the town gate. It was Chen Yin and Tim who pushed the winch together and raised the gate.

Originally, Aunt Ji Ya was also going to follow, but Chen Yin let her stay in Blackwood Town in the name of insecurity and preparing supplies. While Chen Yin and Tim went to pick up little Susan, it was just time to pack up their luggage and prepare some supplies. I believe that the mayor and others who have already broken their courage will not embarrass her.

Chen Yin and Tim followed the path on the ground, crossed the river, and finally plunged headlong into the gloomy primeval forest.

It was the first time on this planet that Chen Yin was still wandering in the forest so late. The environment that was already relatively familiar became completely unfamiliar at night, whether it was the flying insects in the ears or the roar in the distance, it was completely different from the forest during the day, and even reminded Chen Yin of the feeling of stepping into this forest for the first time.

Tonight's moon is obscured by thin clouds, making the night gray.

And in the forest, he couldn't reach out at all, and if it weren't for the torch in Uncle Tim's hand, Chen Yin wouldn't even be able to see the road under his feet.

"Uncle Tim?" Chen Yin suddenly opened his mouth.

“……”

As expected, all that was gained was silence.

"You know what I want to ask?"

Uncle Tim's footsteps slowed slightly, and then continued to walk forward at the same pace as before, as if he had never heard Chen Yin's questions.

"Looks like you don't want to say it." Chen Yin shook his head, trying to identify his surroundings.

After a few more minutes, Uncle Tim spoke, "...... You can ask her yourself. ”

"Well, I will."

For Aunt Jiya, Chen Yin is still very curious.

But if you can't ask now, forget it, there will be opportunities in the future, and now Chen Yin still has to focus more on finding the way. Even at night in the city, it can be strange to suddenly come to a familiar place, especially if it is a primeval forest with no neon lights and no shops as a reference.

If you want to find the direction here, it depends more on luck or homework.

Chen Yin is clearly the latter.

In this kind of primeval forest, the ground grass and trees, everything is growing and changing rapidly, and if you don't choose the right reference, nature will quickly erase all traces.

And the road sign chosen by Chen Yin is on the big tree.

Now dig a hole in the trunk and stick a straight branch into the big tree at a 90-degree angle. In this way, the average person will not know what is going on when they see it, and only those who are attentive will pay attention to these branches at an overly standard angle.

In this way, they struggled to find the road signs one by one, and the two of them slowly advanced through the forest.

"Goo-goo-haha-haha-"

Suddenly, a terrible scream sounded above Chen Yin's head, which startled Chen Yin.

"It's a howler bird." Uncle Tim comforted Chen Yin simply and concisely.

"Howler birds?"

"Hmm."

“…… Explain? "Chen Yin really wanted to give him a punch.

"The biggest roaring bird is not as big as your fist and only eats beetles. At night their vision is very weak, no matter where they stop, they will feel uneasy, and they are afraid that some other carnivorous birds will hunt them, so they will roar twice every flight to scare away other predators, and then find a place where they think it is safe to rest for a while, until they feel that it is not safe here, and will look for other places. ”

This is the most Uncle Tim has spoken since we met.

"Oh, I see." Chen Yin nodded, pointed to a huge tree in front of him and said, "We have arrived." ”

"The Sacred Tree? Well, it's a good hiding place. Uncle Tim nodded.

“…… Do you know the road? ”

"Acquaintance."

“……”

"I've been here with Mr. Li De."

“……”

"I've lived here for a few months."

Uncle Tim was still talking to himself, not seeing that Chen Yin's face had turned black at all.

"You know and let me lead the way!?" Chen Yin roared angrily.

"I don't know where you want to go." Uncle Tim's expression was calm, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"I'll kick!"

"Oh ......"

Uncle Tim calmly dodged, calmly watched Chen Yin kick on the tree, calmly watched him cover his feet and jump straight, and said calmly: "Good footwork." ”

This black-bellied guy can simply make people angry!

Chen Yin snorted coldly, put his thumb and index finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.

After a while, a rope hung down from the tree. Chen Yin glanced at Tim proudly, grabbed the rope, and slowly climbed up.

When Chen Yin was about to climb to the top of the tree, he heard the voices of Tim and Susan coming from above.

“…… Woo, was Mom really taken away? ”

"Hmm."

"What to do...... What to do? ”

"Go and ask the guy down there."

"Hey!" Chen Yin shouted breathlessly: "Don't just assign tasks to people, Uncle Tim!" ”

"You're slow, exercise your body." Tim glanced at Chen Yin calmly, turned his head and said to little Susan: "Although this person is a little stupid, a little sluggish, and ignorant, he is still very reliable in doing things." ”

"Hey! I'm listening! Can you not say bad things about me in front of me!? Chen Yin really wanted to kick him.

Uncle Tim thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”

Then he began to whisper to little Susan by biting her ear......

Chen Yin's face was gloomy, and he rushed into the tree hole and rummaged for a while, and then came out with a shotgun.

“…… He is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, perseverance, patience, outstanding adaptability, strength that cannot be underestimated, and most importantly, he is so handsome, so he will definitely save your mother. ”

Tim glanced at Chen Yin calmly and said.

How's your festival? Got in arrears?

With such a shameless thing, Chen Yin couldn't afford to be angry, so he cleaned up the things in the tree hole with a tiger face, especially the empty plastic bottles, collected them all and put them in his backpack, and then climbed down the rope without saying a word.

When Chen Yin arrived on the ground, he saw Uncle Tim's calm face again.

"It's slow."

Immediately afterward, little Susan jumped off the tree with a large bundle of paracord.

"Your Excellency, don't be angry, Uncle Tim just likes to joke, in fact, he admires you very much! Saying that you not only have great strength, but also have more wisdom than strength, and that you must have a way to save my mother...... Is that so? At the end, little Susan was a little timid, and secretly glanced at Chen Yin's face.

"Well, words count."

With this little girl, Chen Yin really can't be angry.

The heavy backpack flung to Uncle Tim, picked up little Susan and put it on his shoulder.

Uncle Tim looked at the backpack in his arms.

“…… I am a wounded. ”

"Less nonsense, either carry it or eat me with an arrow."

"Oh."

Uncle Tim obediently put on his backpack and followed Chen Yin on the way home.

――――――――

Pass it first, and refine it in the evening.

Don't say anything, continue to rush the manuscript.
