Chapter 670
"Tianzhen, why do I feel like this place is getting more and more remote? Are we on a pirate ship?" Fatty Wang urged his horse closer to Wu Xie and whispered in his ear.
"Shut up." Wu Xie glared at Fatty Wang. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! The place we agreed to go to was already remote, and we're just taking a slightly longer route. I just showed you the map, but you insisted on talking nonsense. Now you don't know the way and we'll get separated. Let's see what you do then!"
"Naive! What are you saying? I only thought I'd tease you because you weren't in a good mood this morning, and now you're criticizing me! You're really biting the hand that feeds you!" Fatty Wang said, pointing at Wu Xie with wide eyes.
"Are you saying you're a dog?" Wu Xie seized on the loophole in Wang Pangzi's words and retorted.
"You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs!" Fatty Wang said, only then realizing that Wu Xie was originally a dog. "No! Your family has always kept dogs! You've always been a dog, only now you're even more of a dog!"
"It's really kind of you to remember that our Wu family started out raising dogs!" Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with a fake smile, then flicked his whip, and the horse, in pain, carried Wu Xie forward.
"Tianzhen, wait for me! This place looks creepy! Tianzhen!" Fatty Wang followed closely behind Wu Xie and ran forward.
Butler Xu looked at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, who had overtaken them, and said, "Have someone follow them and don't let them get too far."
"Yes." Old Chen, who was following behind Steward Xu, waved his hand, and immediately a man and a horse flew out from the group. The man followed closely behind Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, but did not get close to them. Instead, he followed them at a distance.
Cheng Ye held the reins in one hand and rubbed the waist of the hooded woman in his arms with the other, his eyes swirling with an unreadable emotion. "Soon! We'll be able to see each other again soon! Jiajia, we'll never be separated again this time!"
However, the woman in Cheng Ye's arms did not move at all, just like a corpse that could neither move nor speak.
The other bodyguards who had been watching them from behind whispered amongst themselves when they saw this.
"Do you think the person in Mr. Cheng's arms is even a person? We haven't heard her speak at all!"
"Why do you care whether it's a human or a ghost? It might just be a doll, who knows?"
"What kind of fetish is this? Hugging a... thing and flaunting it everywhere?"
"Maybe this is someone's comfort toy?"
"Would this be acceptable for censorship?"
"What's it to you! I've never seen you guys avoid people when you're hanging out!"
"Huang Huang! Where did you see all this?!"
"That night, when I got up to use the restroom, I heard noises coming from your tent, so I went to check and saw you and Brother Chen..."
Before Huang Huang could finish speaking, Chen Ge covered her mouth, saying, "Alright, little lousy spoon, stop talking!"
"Uh huh huh..."
Brother Chen put his index finger to his lips and covered his yellow mouth with one hand. "Promise me you won't tell anyone, and I'll let go of your mouth! Otherwise, I'll have the boss give you extra training! So that every time you come back to the dorm, all you want to do is sleep!"
Huang Huang nodded with a "mmm" sound. Seeing this, Brother Chen released his hand from Huang Huang's mouth. But after confirming, Huang Huang immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Chen stayed up late the night before last, playing the diedie game with Xu Xu!!"
Huang Huang's shout drew everyone's attention. Chen Ge and Xu Xu, whom he mentioned, froze in place after Huang Huang spoke.
"Wow!"
"How brave!"
"Huang Huang truly lives up to his reputation as the bravest person on our team!"
"Huang Wenyu! I'm going to kill you!!" Xu Xu suddenly pounced on Huang Wenyu's horse, grabbing Huang Wenyu's neck with both hands, and said angrily.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Huang Wenyu stretched out his hands to ask the others for help, but everyone looked at Xu Xu's expression and Brother Chen's dark face and pretended not to see it.
After this little incident during the journey, the whole group finally embarked on the real journey.
“Mr. Xu, we’ve arrived at this location. We only need to cross one more valley to reach our destination,” Cheng Ye said, pointing to a spot on the map during a rest stop.
"Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" is no exaggeration. Butler Xu looked up at me in front of him, then looked down at the location on the map.
"Mr. Cheng, do you think we can still reach our destination today?" Butler Xu asked Cheng Ye with a kind expression, his hands behind his back.
"I don't think it will work. Judging from the sky today, there will probably be a heavy rainstorm tonight. We need to find a place with high ground that can shelter us from the wind and rain."
Cheng Ye squinted at the sky, calculating the journey in his mind. He eventually realized that no matter how fast he quickened his pace, he would not be able to reach his destination on time. In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh as he told Butler Xu the bad news.
“It seems that’s the only way. Then I’ll trouble Mr. Cheng to take us to find a place to take refuge.” Butler Xu nodded, agreeing to Cheng Ye’s suggestion, and got up from his stool to walk towards Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Pang, you two come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
Butler Xu waved to Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, who were taking pictures like crazy, and the three of them chatted with their backs to Cheng Ye.
“I just spoke with Mr. Cheng, and he said there will be a heavy rainstorm tonight, and our destination is still a long way off.”
"A torrential downpour? Uncle Xu, are you kidding us?" After hearing Uncle Xu's words, Fatty Wang looked up at the sky and saw a clear blue sky with perfect sunshine.
"On such a sunny day, there's going to be a torrential downpour tonight?" Fatty Wang pointed incredulously at the sky above, glancing suspiciously at Cheng Ye behind Steward Xu.
“We’re not locals, so we don’t know much about the local weather. Since Mr. Cheng said there would be a heavy rainstorm, he must be right.” Wu Xie tugged at Wang Pangzi’s clothes.
Uncle Xu agreed with Wu Xie's words, "Only the locals know the weather best, and the weather in the desert is even more unpredictable. We should listen to Mr. Cheng in this regard."
Fatty Wang glanced furtively at Cheng Ye, who was still looking down at the map, and said somewhat reluctantly, "Uncle Xu, you've said it like that, how can I not listen!"
Cheng Ye's ears twitched slightly, and where they couldn't see, his fingers quietly flicked twice.
"Alright, take a break. We'll have to follow Cheng Ye to find somewhere to shelter from tonight's torrential rain. We probably won't be stopping anytime soon." Butler Xu patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and led the two away.
After confirming that the three people had left, Cheng Ye turned around to look behind him. After making sure that no one was there, he took out a small black box from his pants pocket, pressed it twice, and then buried it under his feet.
Before leaving, Cheng Ye stomped on it a couple more times. Later, when he was riding his horse, he led the large group past the place unintentionally. After being trampled by so many horses, it was impossible to tell that there was anything different about the ground.
