Rebirth: Lie down with the system

Murong Li's eyes were dark as he stared at Duan Yu. He did not look away until he turned his head away timidly and guiltily.

Speak calmly.

"The rainy season is almost over. We need a ferry to get to where we are going, so we have to hurry up."

Duan Yu scratched his hair to hide his discomfort, and said "oh" to let Murong Li know that he heard what he said.

For a moment, the two of them fell silent again.

It’s not that Duan Yu didn’t want to pay attention to Murong Li, but he really didn’t know what to say to Murong Li.

The time he had spent with Murong Li was too short, and he really didn't understand Murong Li's temper very well. He was afraid that if he said something wrong he would irritate him again.

Murong Li's personality was too dull and he didn't talk much. Most of the time he would only reply when Duan Yu asked him questions.

Therefore, the atmosphere became a bit depressing along the way, but the itinerary was much more tight.

Duan Yu found that the roads he had taken were all remote and somewhat eerie. The roads were covered with thick piles of fallen leaves. The carriage was running on them. Apart from the sound of the dead leaves breaking, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, which made him feel a little scared unconsciously.

Looking at the road leading into the depths of the forest, he clenched his fists, as if there was a monster hiding in the depths that was about to swallow him up.

His heart began to beat slowly and he began to feel nervous for no apparent reason.

Was it a wrong choice for him to follow Murong Li and leave so easily?

The person next to him also has intentions towards him.

Although he had been taking good care of him during this period and had not forced him, he still remembered that when he first met this man, his furious look was frightening, and various signs afterwards also showed that he was not someone who would give up easily.

So…where is this place that he is determined to take him to now?

"Let's... take a break~"

Duan Yu spoke to Murong Li who was resting with his eyes closed.

Murong Li opened his eyes.

"tired?"

"Hehe~ A little bit, I want to get off the car and move around~"

"parking."

As soon as Murong Li finished speaking, the two people outside the carriage stopped.

Duan Yu's face lit up with joy. He pulled up the car curtain and got out. He stretched his stiff limbs and took the opportunity to privately look around.

There is a reason for the silence around here. There is no one living here. It is nothing like the avenue I walked on before. Although it may not be prosperous, at least you can see signs of people living there.

The current seclusion and darkness obscured by tall trees immediately gave Duan Yu a bad feeling.

I'm afraid they are not heading towards Linhai City in the east!

Duan Yu had to admit that he was feeling a little worried and regretful at the moment.

If he had known that he would be brought to this uninhabited place, he would have left clues for Han Mingye earlier and let him fight with Murong Li, so that he might have a chance to leave.

Now...being brought to such a place by Murong Li, if he wants to do something to him, can he still run away?

But...what else can we do now?

"What are you thinking about?"

Duan Yu was thinking so seriously that he stopped moving his hands and feet. He was staring at a big tree in a daze.

Awakened by Murong Li's words, Duan Yu came to his senses and quickly replied.

"It's just a little strange..."

Murong Li looked puzzled and motioned Duan Yu to continue.

"Aren't we heading east to Linhai City? You also said we were going by boat, but I feel like we're heading into the forest~"

Murong Li looked at him with a calm tone, as if everything was normal.

"We weren't going to Linhai City in the first place."

"Ah?!" It's really not...

"So where are we going? Can't you tell me now?"

"That place is very hidden, it's a very magical place, if I tell you now it won't be a surprise."

Duan Yu looked at him in surprise and confusion, his rosy lips slightly open.

What kind of place is this? Is it something that even someone like Murong Li would yearn for?

Murong Li's words aroused Duan Yu's curiosity.

"The world is magical. There are always some surprising things in unknown places, such as some magical plants and animals or places with magical effects... There are many strange things and objects in the world. I found some clues before and plan to take you to see them~"

This was probably the longest speech Murong Li had ever spoken.

But why do his words seem so unreliable?

Just because of a rumor, they have now embarked on the journey of searching, and he really doesn't know how to react.

"That's all I've heard? Nothing else?"

Murong Li shook his head and said nothing.

Duan Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly. This guy doesn't look like he has any problem with his brain.

His distrustful look made Murong Li frown, but he did not explain further. The content of those rumors could not be let Shi Qing know now, so he spoke.

"Now that you've rested enough, let's hurry on! We don't know how far we have to go!"

After saying that, Murong Li grabbed Duan Yu's arm and was about to stuff him into the carriage.

"Hey hey hey hey...wait a minute..."

Duan Yu couldn't break free, his steps were a little messy, and his other hand was waving around, but he was finally stuffed into the carriage by Murong Li.

The dead leaves on the ground became messy, and many insects crawled out from under the dead leaves and fled in panic.

Duan Yu and his companions had already boarded the carriage and were heading towards the forest.

Duan Yu felt like a long time had passed while sitting in the carriage, but when the carriage stopped, he could still see through the mottled light and shadows between the trees that it was not yet night.

"The carriages can't go in the next section, so we can only walk."

When Duan Yu was distracted, Murong Li's low voice sounded in his ears, making his ears numb.

He tilted his head awkwardly and pretended to look around, trying to avoid Murong Li's ambiguity.

Looking around, Duan Yu discovered that there were finally some signs of people where they stopped.

Although there are still trees surrounding it, there are more large stones on the ground. Although they are covered with weeds and moss, traces of carvings can still be seen.

Duan Yu discovered that the stone statues were like soldiers standing guard, with one at regular intervals.

He walked over and cleaned the nearest stone statue.

Murong Li followed behind him and did not stop Duan Yu's actions. After all, they had already sent people to explore the road and all the dangerous things had been eliminated. Besides, he was guarding behind him.

Duan Yu moved quickly and didn't mind the dirt. He cleared the weeds off the stone statue in just a few strokes, and the entire statue was exposed in front of them.

How to say it, it's weird!

I saw that the stone statue was shaped like a long-legged carp, with a fish head and a human body. Its legs were half-kneeling on the ground, and one hand was hanging in the air. It should be holding a weapon, but it was rotten.

Duan Yu looked at the fish scales on the stone statue. He initially thought they were snake scales. After all, snakes were both scary and powerful in the eyes of the ancients, and there were many groups in history that worshipped snakes.

Stone carvings can generally reflect the culture that a place admires.

The appearance of this stone statue shows that the people here believe in fish and think that fish are a powerful being, which is why they let them guard here all the way.

The appearance of fish in this dense forest is indeed very strange. If it was at the seaside, he would accept it as a matter of course, but when it appeared here, Duan Yu's curiosity was really piqued.
