This compass was given by Ding Bao.

She said that if you follow it all the way north, you will be able to get out of the forest.

She also said that she would hide the compass on her and not tell anyone.

At that time, he didn't understand what she meant, but politely accepted her kindness.

But inexplicably, he was taken to heart and deliberately put the compass in his boots.

Unexpectedly, the young man who was gentle and elegant all the way would take him all the way into the depths of the forest, and let a snake bite him.

The snake was not very venomous, but it only made him unconscious all night, and when he woke up the next day, he was completely disoriented.

If it weren't for the compass in his hand, if he had found a way out on his own, there would have been only a dead end.

Finally, two days and two nights later, when Pelly had fallen into despair, the seemingly endless forest in front of him finally saw the end.

Exhausted and ecstatic, he dragged his already severely dehydrated body out of the forest, and then continued staggering towards the row of low villages not far away.

Eventually, he collapsed on the country road and was soon found by passers-by.

In the evening of the same day, Jin Ting was sitting by the window playing the piano, and a small light gray snake slowly swirled upward along his legs, and finally stopped quietly on Jin Ting's shoulder, the snake's head moved slightly, as if it was saying something.

After a while, the piano sound died down.

Jin Ting raised his head, facing the sunlight, and whispered in a low voice, as if muttering.

"People don't die......"

Ding Bao was sleeping on the sofa when she felt a cold wind blowing slowly in her ears.

When he opened his eyes, he squatted beside him.

"What are you doing here?"

Ding Bao rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, and a touch of the slanting sun entered the room, almost three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jin Ting didn't speak, just silently got up and sat on the sofa next to her, her two slender legs slightly apart, and her hands crossed on her thighs.

"How does it feel to stay here for so long?"

Ding Bao squinted his eyes to wake up sleepy, then yawned and said casually.

"It's good, it's quiet."

"I've lived in this house for a long time."

Ding Bao nodded and asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"I want to move."

"Moving? Why do you want to move? ”

Ding Bao looked at Jin Ting's expression, and quickly reflected the connection, Jin Ting must have been until Dr. Pelly did not die, and he was cautious and suspicious, and now he actually wanted to leave this ancient castle.

She remained silent, feigning surprise and puzzlement.

"And where are we moving to?"

"I don't know, don't worry, you pack up your things first, and I'll go to the town tomorrow to have a look."

Let's see if we can find the escaped Paley.

Next time, he's going to kill him himself.

The next day, Jin Ting rode all the way to the depths of the forest in a carriage, and hovering over his shoulders was the little gray snake from yesterday, spitting out a letter and holding its head high, guiding Jin Ting on the way.

In the middle of the night, the carriage followed until it reached an exit in the forest, and not far away was a village, where about a hundred people lived, and it was easy to find a man in it.

Jin Ting lowered his head, took off the blindfold covering his face, put on a pair of dark gold-rimmed sunglasses, and then took out a black cane in the carriage and held it in his hand.
