Jian Xingcan stood there in a daze, he looked at the man beside him, he was a little dazed, with shock in his eyes.

Shen Linjie looked at him sideways with a calm expression.

Jian Xingcan's voice stuttered a little, and he didn't even know what to say for a moment. Thinking of his various presumptuous behaviors last night, he stammered and said: "You, I..."

"If I'm not sober, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me properly?" Shen Linji's voice seemed to be pointing, and he said slowly: "Chancan, you should be glad that I am sober .”

Jian Xingcan didn't know what to say for a moment.

I don't know when it started, but when he faced Shen Linji, his heart always beat very fast.

"We, I, I kissed you last night." Jian Xingcan unconsciously touched his lips, he was like a child who made a mistake: "Because of the effect of the medicine, my mind is not clear..."

Shen Linjie's eyes seemed to have darkened a lot, and the man whispered, "I kissed you."

Jian Xingcan suddenly looked up in surprise: "You..."

Shen Linjie stood beside the railing of the balcony, very calm and composed. Compared with Jian Xingcan's nervousness and panic, the man seemed much calmer. He looked at Jian Xingcan seriously, and said: "Say it again, Cancan, I am very sober. "

The streets not far away are crowded with people, very lively.

The shouts of the merchants seemed to be coming from far and near, and the sun gradually rose, and when it fell on the people, it was still hot.

However, Jian Xingcan felt that this moment was not actually the temperature brought by the sun. The hottest thing was his somewhat scalding heart, which was not considered calm. When Shen Linjie looked at it like this, he still felt inexplicably hot.

……

"Cancan!"

Suddenly there was a sound outside.

Shen Ye opened the door and walked in. He was taken aback when he saw the two of them, and then said, "The director has asked An Zhe and Gao Tutor to be sent back to the guest room upstairs. It's time for us to gather."

Attracted by his gaze, Jian Xingcan said, "Okay."

Shen Ye looked at his brother again, but found that Shen Linji looked at him in a strange way, it was a kind of gloomy look, as long as he saw this expression from childhood to adulthood, he knew that he would definitely The expression of being repaired by the older brother.

Strange, he didn't mess with him again.

Shen Ye coughed lightly, subconsciously slipped away: "Then I'll go first!"

When Jian Xingcan and the others returned to the bottom of the restaurant, everyone consciously kept silent about what happened in the morning and continued to shoot the program normally.

The director said from the front: "Our seven-person trip in this town is coming to an end. Everyone, the date is approaching. If you can't find the treasure hidden deep in the mountain before then, everyone's mission will fail, and our reward , you can’t get it either.”

Shen Ye asked, "Is today the last day?"

The director nodded and said: "That's right, today is the last day, I hope everyone will work together to find the treasure, otherwise if you fail, everyone will fail together."

Just as they were talking, the staff came over and handed over the clue cards from yesterday's game to everyone.

The staff said: "The task of all young heroes today is to work together to find the whereabouts of the treasure. Complete the task before sunset and dusk to win."

Everyone gets a card.

Fang Qing took the initiative to suggest, "Then why don't we just hand over all the prompts of our task cards and put them together?"

Everyone has no opinion.

A group of people came to the table and put all the cards together.

The prompt words on the multiple cards were completely different, Shen Ye took out his own card and said, "The key word on my card is hatred."

Ling Feng pointed to another card and said, "The key word of this card is gratitude."

"And mine." Fang Qing took out her own card and said, "The key word on my card is God."

The keywords on different cards are completely different.

Shen Linjie took out the card he had just obtained and put it on the table. The prompt on that card was also a simple word: [betrayal]

This suddenly seemed to lead everyone into a dead end.

Jian Xingcan looked at the words on the card and said, "I think all the words seem to form a story waiting for us to unravel."

Shen Ye immediately realized, he said, "Could it be related to the story of the village on the mountain?"

This is originally the wealth on this mountain, so is it possible to tell the old lady on the mountain that there are countless stories about the cat god?

Fang Qing said: "If this is the case, then if we want to find the treasure of the Cat God, we have to use these cards to deduce the complete story after all, so that we can know where the treasure is!"

Zhang Shan looked at the card and fell into deep thought: "Actually, I have always felt that the stories of the villagers are not the complete story."

"The vocabulary of this card is betrayal." Mr. Liu Guang thought about it and said, "Beside the card of betrayal is the card of gratitude. Isn't this a contradiction? Since the believers of the gods are grateful to the gods, why are they betrayed by the gods?" Well, the hatred on this card refers to whose hatred is it?"

Everyone suddenly felt as if they had entered a dead end.

Just at this time--

Jian Xingcan said: "Actually, in the cave that day, I found that there were many murals in the cave. I saw a lot of them. However, due to time constraints, there were many texts and murals that I couldn't fully read. Maybe they were clues."

When the voice fell, everyone became excited.

Shen Ye stood up and said, "Then let's go up the mountain!"

Jian Xingcan looked at Shen Linji.

Shen Linjie nodded lightly, and said, "Let's go."

Unlike fighting alone that day, this meeting was accompanied by friends.

Everyone was chatting and laughing on the way up the mountain. There were a lot of fruits on the mountain in autumn, and there was a fruit tree not far ahead. The fruit was bright red and bloomed very beautifully.

Shen Ye said, "I don't know if this can be eaten."

None of the others had grown up in the mountains, and none of them were sure.

Only Shen Linjie said, "Yes."

As he said that, he picked a fruit and put it in Jian Xingcan's hand naturally: "Taste it."

Jian Xingcan nodded, wiped his clothes, took a bite, and said with a smile on his face, "It's so sweet."

"Really?" Seeing him eating, Shen Ye felt his heart move. He picked one and put it in his mouth, revealing his pain mask: "It's not very sweet, it's a bit sour."

Jian Xingcan smiled at his amused look.

Shen Linjie said: "Can you eat uncooked ones without being sour?"

Shen Ye said curiously: "No matter how different they are, they all look similar."

However, Ling Feng carefully selected one, picked one and said to him, "Try this."

Shen Ye took it over suspiciously, took a tentative bite, his eyes lit up, and he said in disbelief, "It's delicious."

"How do you know it's not sour." Shen Ye was a little surprised: "I can't tell the difference."

Ling Feng said: "I also grew up on the mountain when I was a child. My mother loved to eat it. At that time, my father would pick some for her every day when he came home. This fruit is called lover fruit. It is delicious."

Teacher Liu Guang joked next to him: "All this time, we, Lingfeng, are picking fruits for our lovers."

Ling Feng choked, he seemed a little shy, and glanced at Teacher Liu Guang: "Don't make fun of me, Teacher Shen will pick it too."

"Then Teacher Shen may not know that this is a lover's fruit." Fang Qing amused the young man: "You know not."

Ling Feng's ears became even redder, as red as bleeding.

But at this time——

Shen Linji said lightly, "I know."

The atmosphere quieted down in an instant, and everyone looked at him.

Shen Linji opened his mouth very frankly, and said slowly: "I knew it before I picked it."

Beside him, his little lover was still eating fruit, Shen Linji looked calm and confident, looked at the crowd, raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?"

Everyone is questioned.

In the end, Ling Feng was the first to say: "Of course not."

"Hurry up." He said carelessly, "Let's go quickly."

Although it looked calm on the surface, in fact, the audience in the live broadcast room watched with a messy pace, and they couldn't laugh or cry:

"Children don't have to hide."

"We agreed on the two of you."

"Hahahaha!"

"Look at how frank Teacher Shen is!"

"Mr. Shen's affection and care for Cancan has never been concealed."

"I don't think I would be surprised if he confesses now."

……

Everyone talked a lot, and they walked all the way to the cave.

Sure enough, in broad daylight, the murals were looked at more carefully. These are stone carving strokes, which seem to depict small figures in great detail, as if telling a story thousands of years ago.

Jian Xingcan pointed to the mural and said, "Starting from here, you can see that the inscription on this mural seems to be that the raccoon cat rescued someone."

Shen Ye leaned over and said, "So the gods, the gratitude, should all be the villagers' thanks to the Great Immortal?"

Jian Xingcan nodded.

"What about hatred?" Ling Feng walked over and said, "That doesn't make any sense at all, why hate?"

Shen Linjie's eyes also fell on the stone wall, and he said: "They once said that the civet cat fairy didn't want to expose his body, but the villagers exposed his identity. Isn't this hatred?"

Ling Feng said, "This hatred is the hatred that Immortal Civet Cat has towards them."

Teacher Liu Guang clapped his hands and said: "So this is straightened out. The villagers feel guilty, so they built an altar to worship it!"

Jian Xingcan looked at the crowd and asked the most crucial question: "Then where is the treasure?"

If this is the full version of the story, then why they still can't find the location of the treasure.

Shen Ye scratched his head and said, "I always feel like we missed something?"

Just when everyone fell into silence.

Shen Linjie finally opened his mouth. He walked to the innermost part of the cave, pointed to one of the murals and said, "Perhaps the civet cat's departure was not entirely due to his identity being exposed."

Everyone came over.

On the mural in the cave, there is a picture of a civet cat being seriously injured, and many people fell behind it.

Shen Ye said in surprise, "Why did so many people die?"

Teacher Liu Guang said subconsciously: "Is it because the civet cat killed someone because its identity was exposed?"

Jian Xingcan looked at him.

But before he opened his mouth, Shen Linjie said: "If the civet cat wants to kill people because of this, how can those villagers still be alive?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Now a new question arises, so who are these people who died?

Fang Qing has been looking at the mural, she pondered for a moment, then suddenly tentatively guessed: "Look at this mural, this villain is holding a sword in his hand, is it because these people are hunting and trying to catch civet cats, because it has spirituality and can It has mana, so these people actually want to hunt it down on the surface.”

……

When she spoke, the whole cave fell into silence.

Everyone looked at each other.

When the sinister nature of humanity is exposed, no one can describe the feeling in his heart.

Shen Ye tentatively said, "Didn't the civet cat disappear suddenly, it was..."

He couldn't bear to speak what he didn't say.

But in the end, Shen Ye took a deep breath and said, "It was killed."

Everyone fell into silence, they seemed to have got the truth of the story, but when the truth was in front of them, everyone felt extraordinarily heavy.

Right now-

Jian Xingcan said, "These villains are not necessarily here to kill civet cats."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Jian Xingcan walked deep into the stone wall, pointed to a part of the mural and said, "Look here."

Following his pointing, everyone found that this mural was also very interesting. In the melee, although the villains held swords, these villains seemed to be divided into two factions. They were fighting each other, while the civet cat fell in a pool of blood.

Shen Ye clapped his hands and said, "Someone is protecting the civet cat!"

They seem to be getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.

And the last piece of the mural seems to have predicted the end of the story. There is no villain standing beside the civet cat, and while the corpses are scattered all over the field, only the civet has disappeared.

Ling Feng felt very strange: "The civet cat disappeared?"

Shen Ye felt that the story ended abruptly: "Does this mean that everyone and civet cats are dead?!"

The story back then seemed to become more and more confusing, and the civet cat's treasure did not become clear because of the painting on the stone wall, just when everyone was at an impasse.

Shen Linjie glanced over all the murals, and finally said, "Which one of you brought the map?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Only Jian Xingcan said, "I brought it."

Shen Linji looked at him.

"Because I got lost in the mountains last time, I kept it with me." Jian Xingcan handed the map to Shen Linji and said, "What's wrong."

Shen Linjie determined the mountain's section on the map with a pen, and then said: "Check the background behind the murals on these stone walls, and see if it is similar to the terrain on the mountain."

Everyone came closer.

It turned out to be the case!

This mountain is huge, and the civet cat's map of saving people seems to be similar to the cliff map of this mountain. They marked the boards one by one, and they slowly seemed to be able to spell out the mountain.

finally--

Shen Linjie pointed to a certain place on the map, and whispered: "The only place that is not on the mural is here."

That's territory no one has ever set foot in.

Back Mountain.

A place where local villagers rarely go.

Shen Ye was very excited: "The treasure must be here!"

Zhang Shan also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Shen is still the best, otherwise we can rely on our words, let alone today, even if we search for a lifetime, we may not be able to find this place."

Shen Linjie's face was calm and without any disturbance, he just said softly: "Go and see."

Everyone went out one by one.

Only Jian Xingcan finally stood still, as if unable to move.

Shen Linjie looked back at him, the man's body was against the light, and he said softly, "Let's go."

Jian Xingcan pursed her lips and said nothing.

He didn't say anything, Shen Linji didn't urge him, the man just walked up to him, his movements were very serious and natural, he bent down and took Jian Xingcan's hand, the warm palm seemed to transmit the temperature through the palm Giving it to him also warmed Jian Xingcan's cold hands.

Shen Linjie said, "I'll go take a look with you."

All Jian Xingcan's uneasiness seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.

A group of them walked the mountain road for several hours according to the guidance on the map before arriving at the destination on the map. Even when they arrived, it was already afternoon, when the sunset was rising, and no one came when they were on the road It was heartless like that, perhaps because everyone felt a little more embarrassed after knowing that somewhat depressing and heavy story.

finally--

After walking the last set of steps.

Shen Ye, who was walking in the front, was the first to speak out: "I'll go..."

Everyone raised their heads, and no one could describe the shock brought by this scene at this moment. At the top of the mountain, the sky was dyed red by the sunset, and the towering empty stone gate stood at the top of the steps, on which was written a vast and powerful plaque: mass grave

The ancient trees in the mountain are towering, and the stone gate stele stands quietly in it, solemn and solemn, as if the heavy air of history is blowing towards us. Standing in front of the stone gate, there is a momentary sense of trance, making everyone feel that they are not in the mountains. Instead, he was back somewhere on the battlefield, somewhere in the heap of fallen heroes.

Jian Xingcan's eyes widened unconsciously.

Everyone walked slowly over the stone steps, and when they saw the inside, they were even more shocked by it.

Behind this stone gate, there are countless stone tablets. These stone tablets don't even have names, and some of them only have a few lines of "Soul Return to Hometown". No one knows what happened here, but there is a kind of sadness and solemnity. feel.

Shen Ye said, "Where is this?"

Ling Feng pointed to the top and said, "Look."

They have been looking for where is the god statue in this village when they worshiped. Now when they saw the highest point, they finally saw it. It was a huge stone statue carved. It was a stone cat lying half lazily, comfortably curled up and fell asleep.

Fang Qing guessed, "Could this be...the place where those people on the stone wall are held for the ceremony?"

"Whose do these tombstones belong to?" Shen Ye asked curiously, "Why are there no names?"

They don't know and are curious.

Only Jian Xingcan stood at the stone gate and watched all this. He froze in place, his eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, and he didn't even dare to take a step forward.

Only Shen Linji's voice sounded: "Go and have a look."

Jian Xingcan finally stepped in.

His hand almost trembled as he landed on the nameless tombstone, his eyes were flushed, and even tears seemed to be falling down.

In the past, his biggest regret was that all his senior brothers died tragically, and he was trapped at the bottom of the mountain, and he couldn't even set up a tombstone for his senior brothers.

Jian Xingcan's tears rolled down his cheeks, his hands fell on the stone tablet, and even his breathing was a little unsteady.

Just at this time--

"Meow..."

A cat meow attracted many people's attention.

Everyone looked over, and saw a snow-white, chubby cat sleeping behind the tombstone. Then, everyone discovered that there were many cats living around the cemetery!

Just when everyone was shocked, the staff of the director team came out and said, "Congratulations, everyone, for finding the final location of the treasure and getting the civet cat's treasure!"

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Ye scratched his head and said, "What kind of treasure is this?"

The director came out and said: "The treasure is the Wildlife Protection Ambassador Award. In fact, this mountain has been protected and developed many years ago. A few years ago, this place was developed and built by the Shen family. But, what do you, Mr. Shen think? Well, a lot of natural scenery should be preserved, so he took the lead and established a wildlife protection center here, and this place on the top of the mountain is one of the areas of the protection center.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Shen Ye pointed to the stone tablet and said, "Then, these tombstones..."

"These are the tombstones of some precious little animals who passed away unfortunately in our Wildlife Conservation Center!" The director said: "The purpose is to alert the world, care for and protect animals, and don't hurt them for your own selfish desires. , is also a treasure."

After everyone heard this, their serious hearts were relieved.

Fang Qing patted her little heart and said, "I was scared to death. I thought this was really a fairy tale. I almost knelt down."

Shen Ye also nodded and said: "Brother, you are too foul, you have lied to us for so long!"

After Shen Linjie heard what everyone said, he only smiled faintly and did not speak.

then

He turned his head and glanced at Jian Xingcan.

Jian Xingcan hugged the tombstone with red eyes. Perhaps everyone could accept such reasons and excuses, but he didn't know that he was wrong. This should be the resting place that the senior brother built for all the disciples. Resisting it fell down again.

The audience in the live broadcast room expressed emotion:

"We Cancan are really naive."

"What is it like to be moved after listening to the fairy tale?"

"Hahaha so cute."

"The Monkey King hasn't grown up yet."

Shen Ye said: "The legend of the civet cat really scared me. If this is true, then the civet cat is really miserable."

"It's quite miserable. It was only kind enough to save people." Zhang Shan said with emotion, "Although it is a monster, it has a very kind heart. It's just a civet cat."

Everyone was discussing and talking.

Jian Xingcan, who had been silent all this time, said softly: "But in the mural, the civet cat also killed many people who helped it. If it wasn't for it, those who helped it would not have died."

When he said this, his tone was a little heavy.

Rather—

Shen Ye said, "How can you blame the civet cat!"

"Yes, don't blame him!" Ling Feng also came over to analyze and said: "If you want to blame, you should blame those humans for their lack of greed."

Zhang Shan also came over and said: "The people who protect the civet cats died for the civet cats, but didn't the civet cats also suffer the danger of their lives because of saving people? It's all mutual."

Everyone came over.

Each of them spoke in such a cheerful and open-minded way, as if slowly dispelling Jian Xingcan's haze of self-blame in his heart for many years.

Shen Ye patted Jian Xingcan's shoulder and said, "How could we blame Mao Mao, Mao Mao is so cute, you see people like my brother, you can't usually see it, and even invested in a statue of civet cats!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

This was originally a joke, but I didn't want to--

Shen Linjie looked sideways. He glanced at Shen Ye, raised his eyebrows, and said, "That's right, I really like cats."

Jian Xingcan also raised her eyes in surprise.

Shen Ye said beside him: "Wow, brother, don't tell me that you want to raise a cat?"

Jian Xingcan looked sideways, but happened to meet Shen Linjie's eyes. The man's eyes seemed to be teasing and smiling. He curled his lips and said, "It's a good idea."
