My host is cold and scumbag

He Chengwu had not yet recovered from the sudden appearance of Zhao Xinyun. He was like a little wife, nestling in Zhao Xinyun's arms. Finally, the shouts from above brought He Chengwu back to his senses. He quickly struggled and jumped down. He picked up the flashlight and shone it on Zhao Xinyun. Hesitantly said, "You..."

Zhao Xinyun looked at him without saying anything. He Chengwu was a little nervous and embarrassed: "Where's your flashlight?"

"It's dead." Zhao Xinyun said calmly. He Chengwu hesitated to respond, and suddenly felt a little strange being alone with her. He Chengwu concluded that it was because she caught him too steadily just now. And as a man, he was so delicately held in her arms...

The exchange between the two was too brief, and he said quietly, "There are no extra flashlights now."

"It's okay." Zhao Xinyun lowered his eyes: "As long as you have it."

He Chengwu suddenly became more nervous. He quickly turned around and shouted upwards to hide his emotions: "I'm fine, you can come down, use the rope."

When the people above heard that He Chengwu was fine, they all responded very cheerfully. All that was left was to wait for the people above to come down. He Chengwu shone his flashlight on the ground. He turned his head to look at Zhao Xinyun and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I've been walking here for a long time." Zhao Xinyun seemed to be tired and sat down in a corner. He Chengwu secretly looked at Zhao Xinyun and licked his dry lips: "Do you have any more food?"

Zhao Xinyun put her small bag in front of her, unzipped it and looked through it, then raised her head and shook her head at He Chengwu. He Chengwu always felt a little uncomfortable when he was alone with Zhao Xinyun. The unknown emotions in his heart made him like a thief every time he faced Zhao Xinyun, cautious on the outside but in a state of panic on the inside.

When he heard that Zhao Xinyun had no food, he shouted to the people above: "Throw down some food."

Yue Qiu responded loudly from above, and the last bag slipped down. He Chengwu quickly picked it up, bit the flashlight, half-knelt beside Zhao Xinyun, and began to rummage through the bag, taking out some compressed food and handing it to Zhao Xinyun. Zhao Xinyun stretched out his hand to take it.

And in the other hand, a flower appeared again. He Chengwu's hand, which he had withdrawn, was suspended in mid-air. He looked at Zhao Xinyun with an inexplicable expression. Zhao Xinyun said without any emotion: "Don't you want it?"

He Chengwu stared at the flower in a daze, feeling a little sad. He took it silently and thanked her dryly.

Zhao Xinyun began to eat slowly by herself. He Chengwu inexplicably moved away from Zhao Xinyun, and then sat aside in a daze. Yue Qiu, Yang Qiu and others came down one after another. Yang Qiu saw Zhao Xinyun on the side and was surprised to go up to her and hug her. Zhao Xinyun raised her hand and let Yang Qiu hug her, and finally began to eat quietly and waited for everyone to come down. He Chengwu said to Shousheng: "I saw Selaginella. It is difficult for Selaginella to survive in this environment."

Shousheng glanced at Zhao Xinyun first, then said in a deep voice: "The Selaginella growing outside are useless, they are just ordinary Selaginella."

Although He Chengwu was a little disappointed, he still pulled himself together: "That means we have found the right place."

Shousheng hummed softly.

Yang Qiu was complaining to Zhao Xinyun about the grievances he had suffered along the way. Zhao Xinyun didn't look enthusiastic, but he didn't spoil Yang Qiu's mood. Yang Qiu chattered for a long time, and Zhao Xinyun drank a sip of water after finishing his meal.

She turned to He Chengwu and said, "There's something inside. It's very similar to the thing in Mangshan. It looks like a person."

He Chengwu suddenly remembered that when he was in Mangshan, in addition to the strange tree, there was another thing, that is, the tree man who sucked human blood. He Chengwu's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Zhao Xinyun stood up and said, "The sound of this bell is also very strange. As soon as it rings, the earth jade inside will appear."

When He Chengwu saw the wishing tree and the tree with the corpse hanging outside in the center of the village, he was mentally prepared for the presence of jade here. However, the geographical environment here was obviously very inconvenient for them. It was difficult to hide or escape, and what He Chengwu was most afraid of was that the passage below was broken into pieces in the place where they were staying. If they got lost in a hurry, it was very likely that they would never meet again in this life.

It was pure luck that he could meet Zhao Xinyu here, but there was no way he could have the slightest chance of relying on luck.

Finally, he sat down and said to Yang Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, don't follow me for the rest of the journey. Let's go back."

Yang Qiu frowned, and his voice seemed to be much more serious: "Brother Xiaowu, you want me to go back?"

He Chengwu nodded: "Now Xiao Si doesn't know whether to live or die, and you are the only one left in the Yang family."

Yang Qiu turned his head and said, "No."

He Chengwu was not in a hurry. He picked up the flashlight and shone it around. He said helplessly: "In this environment, I can't guarantee that I can keep an eye on you."

Yang Qiu was a little angry: "I didn't grow up eating gigolos. You want to protect me? Maybe you are not as good as me."

He Chengwu coughed awkwardly: "Little kid, don't talk so harshly..."

Yang Qiu snorted coldly: "I was brought up by my mother. I am like my mother. In terms of skills and abilities, I just want to be bad. It's not that I don't know anything. I just want to give you men some face. But if you want to let me go because you can't protect me, you are so cowardly..." Yang Qiu silently glanced at Zhao Xinyun, who was playing with his hands with his head down. She said bluntly: "You deserve not to get a wife."

He Chengwu was stunned by the sudden personal attack. He had never expected Yang Qiu to be so venomous. Yang Qiu glanced at He Chengwu and said, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that Xiao Si and I are the only descendants of the Yang family left. My father didn't ask me to come here to make a cameo appearance. You are asking me to leave at this moment. Who are you looking down on?"

He Chengwu hesitated: "I just...I..."

Yang Qiu snorted: "Then why don't you let your sister go? Isn't it just that your sister is better than you? You want to say it but you dare not. Keep it in your heart every day, don't think about comforting yourself when the time comes and use your own life..."

He Chengwu was startled and quickly stood up to cover Yang Qiu's mouth.

Yang Qiu stared at him with his eyes wide open, looking at him with disdain and regret. The others watched him and immediately started to get busy for no apparent reason. He Chengwu looked at Yang Qiu with shame and anger, and Yang Qiu snorted into He Chengwu's palm.

He Chengwu didn't even bother looking at Zhao Xinyun. His cheeks flushed and his breathing became hot. It was a complex mixture of embarrassment and shame. He pursed his lips and clenched his teeth.

I really wish there was a hole right now so He Chengwu could crawl in and shrink back down for a short while.

In a moment, just a moment...
