Chapter 71: Gossip

In the underground dark river, Lin Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his closed eyes also opened to look at Shen Bing not far away, and found that there was no other situation, so he put his mind at ease and concentrated on roasting a few fish in front of him.

Perhaps because of the flood, there are not only a lot of tidal wood brought down by the flood in this vicinity, but also a lot of fish in the stream, plus there are some seasonings in the forest dust storage ring itself, so the two of them don't have to worry about food.

Because they were underground, there was only the dim light emitted by fluorite around them, so it was difficult for the two of them to confirm the time, but it was certain that at least a day had passed since the two of them woke up, and as for how long had passed before they woke up, Lin Chen didn't know.

Looking at the fire in front of him, Lin Chen's face gradually showed a look of worry, he clearly remembered that when he fled, Zhao Xuan was hit by Gongsun Yu's hateful palm, although Qi Baili took action in time to protect her heart, but after entering the flood, with their state, I don't know how serious the injuries will be, and in the end, whether the two are still together is also a dilemma, just looking at Lin Chen and Shen Bing can know that the situation of the two of them will not be much better.

"Lin Chen, are you worried about other people and Sister Zhao Xuan?"

Shen Bing, who had withdrawn from the cultivation state on the side, noticed Lin Chen's strange appearance when he opened his eyes, and his beautiful face also showed a look of worry.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't given the pendant to Sister Zhao Xuan, Sister Zhao Xuan wouldn't have been threatened by the man in black, and there wouldn't have been those things that followed."

Shen Bing blamed herself very much, in her opinion, if she hadn't chosen to participate in this trial because of her willfulness, the people in black would not have appeared here, and Zhao Xuan would not have been implicated, Lin Chen saw that Shen Bing was so self-blaming, and it was not good to continue to show worry, so he had to change the topic.

"Miss Shen, I believe that Zhao Xuan's sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, and it will be fine with Brother Qi to take care of her, and she will not blame you for this.

For now, let's think about how to get out of here, I don't know how Miss Shen is recovering, whether she can walk anymore"

Speaking of matters related to the lives of the two, Shen Bing also put away his self-blame and worries, and stood up tremblingly in front of Lin Chen's eyes, but just when he wanted to take the first step, he suddenly stumbled and was about to fall, and Lin Chen on the side was also quick-eyed, and instantly appeared next to her, reaching out to support her.

In this way, Lin Chen couldn't help but touch Shen Bing's body, Shen Bing subconsciously resisted a little, and a trace of anger appeared on his face, but more panicked and ashamed, thinking that in addition to Shen Shijie, it was the first time that a man dared to approach her so closely, but in the dim light, Lin Chen didn't notice it.

"You.... You get out of the way."

Feeling that Shen Bing was a little resistant to his contact, and then feeling the breath and touch coming from Shen Bing's body, Lin Chen was also embarrassed, but soon thought of the current situation, and he couldn't care whether men and women kissed or not.

"Miss Shen, Lin Chen doesn't mean anything else, and he doesn't want to take advantage of the girl, but now the situation is unclear, we have to get out of here quickly, and we can't afford to think more about him, so I'm offended, if Miss Shen wants to be held accountable afterwards, Lin Chen will never be angry."

Regardless of whether Shen Bing was still resisting, he helped her to a stone next to the fire, and then handed her a fish that had been grilled.

Shen Bing looked at Lin Chen's innocent eyes, took them silently, and then stared at the burning flames, falling into silence.

"Lin Chen, your movements are so skillful, have you often done such things before?"

After a long time, Lin Chen, who was grilling the fish, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Shen Bing's inquiry, and thought that he was talking about helping her, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Bing staring at his action of grilling the fish, and suddenly came to his senses, laughed at himself in his heart, looked at Shen Bing's puzzled expression, and smiled because of Shen Bing or because the environment in front of him touched his inner memories.

"To tell you the truth, Lin Chen also has a sister, I have never left her side since I was a child, this is the first time I have left her, and it has been so long.

I've always been taking care of her, and this time I'm here thanks to Sister Ruoxi to help me take care of her, otherwise I'd really be worried, I actually learned this craft from others to take care of her."

As a woman, Shen Bing naturally sensed the doting in it from Lin Chen's words, but at the same time, she also felt an inexplicable sadness in it, and couldn't help but be curious.

"I think that with an older brother like you, your sister should live a very happy life."

Shen Bing's words made Lin Chen fall into silence, and Shen Bing obviously saw a chill in Lin Chen's eyes that he had never seen before, it was as cold as an abyss.

"If it weren't for survival, I think she would be very happy, after all, that kind of survival is too heavy for her, if she had a choice, I don't want her to go through it"

Lin Chen shook his head and handed the grilled fish in his hand to Shen Bing again.

Shen Bing took the grilled fish handed over by Lin Chen, but he became more curious in his heart, because what Lin Chen was talking about was not life, but survival, and the two had completely different meanings.

"Lin Chen, where do you brothers and sisters come from, and besides, didn't you say that you are brothers and sisters, so who is Sister Ruoxi?"

Lin Chen just smiled and didn't answer, but looked at Shen Bing a little strangely.

"Miss Shen, it doesn't matter where I'm from, the important thing is that sometimes curiosity is not a good thing, it is likely to bring you accidents and misfortunes, and a peerless girl like you, it is better to remain silent

As for Sister Ruoxi, if you have the opportunity to go to Mocheng in the future, you may be able to know who she is."

Without waiting for Shen Bing to react, Lin Chen stood up, took out a set of clean clothes from the storage ring and put it on the stone on the side.

"Miss Shen, I don't have a girl's clothes on me, so you can wear this dress first."

The storage bag on Shen Bing's body had been washed away by the flood, so she didn't have clean clothes to wear, and Shen Bing, who was already blushing a little, wanted to say something, but saw Lin Chen walking upstream of the riverbed, and finally disappeared in front of her eyes, looked at the clothes placed in front of her eyes, and chose to change them.

......

In the camp of the men in black, after three days and two nights of searching, the only remaining men in black gathered here again, and as far as their eyes could see was the middle-aged commander in charge of this operation.

"Lord Commander, this mission has been completed, the casualties have been counted, and the person who killed the second has also found traces, I don't know what else to order."

No. 1 stood behind the middle-aged commander, respectfully reporting the report of this operation, and behind No. 1, there were several other black-clad captains who were still alive, also bending over tremblingly.

"Although the loss of this mission is serious, but for the sake of you completing the task and catching a lot of people with good talents, this commander will no longer care, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and you will receive the punishment yourself after you go back."

"Yes, Lord Archon"

After the tepid voice of the middle-aged commander came, they were all a lot more relaxed, although it was indispensable to be punished, but it was better than losing their lives.

"Okay, Yilou's people are about to arrive, now is not the time for us to be exposed to Qianyang County, you guys should disperse now, remember to deal with our traces"

The black-clothed captains behind him took orders one after another, and disappeared here with the remaining forty or so black-clothed people, leaving only the middle-aged commander who was still pondering.

"Interesting, I didn't expect such a character"

On his right hand was holding a crystal pendant, which was the pendant that No. 1 had snatched from Shen Shijie's hand, and was looking at it intently, while on his originally intact left hand, a drop of blood dripped from the incision of his severed little finger.

It was only that soon the middle-aged commander was awakened by the sound of birds hovering overhead, glanced in the direction behind him, and then took a leap and landed on the Black Hawk, who also disappeared here after a few circles, leaving only traces of the battle and beast corpses all over the ground.
