Yu Bingjie’s face was a little pale. She said to Chen Yansheng, “Yansheng, I can’t run anymore. Don’t worry about me, you go first!”
“I’m a woman, I believe they wouldn’t dare to do anything to me!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? We came together, so we’ll leave together!” Chen Yansheng interrupted Yu Bingjie, speaking seriously.
In his previous life, he abandoned Yu Bingjie once in the mountain god’s temple.
In this life, he was determined to protect Yu Bingjie tightly in his arms.
Yu Bingjie was moved when she saw that Chen Yansheng was unwilling to run away on his own.
As Chen Yansheng pulled her along, she kept glancing around.
Soon, Yu Bingjie saw a small river not far away.
“Yansheng, let’s run to the other side of the river.”
Yu Bingjie hurriedly said to Chen Yansheng.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yansheng immediately understood what Yu Bingjie meant.
The two held hands and ran towards the river.
The inspection team members behind him, seeing this, angrily rebuked:
“Don’t run away, come back with us obediently.”
“Don’t do anything foolish, we won’t do anything to you.”
Chen Yansheng completely ignored what the inspection team members were saying.
These people say that, but when it comes to actually being in their hands, the huge fines are enough to bankrupt a family.
The two soon arrived at the riverbank.
The inspection team members behind them quickly surrounded them.
After exchanging a glance, Chen Yansheng and Yu Bingjie jumped into the river without hesitation.
Some of the younger members of the inspection team saw this and wanted to jump into the river to chase after them, but they were stopped by the older members beside them.
What are you doing?
“Captain, I’ll jump into the river and chase after them!”
“Why are you chasing after it? It’s only a few dozen yuan a month, why are you working so hard?”
Upon hearing this, the young man looked at the two people in the river and said nothing more.
…
To escape the inspection team, Chen Yansheng and Yu Bingjie swam in the water for a long time until they could no longer see the team members before they went ashore.
Yu Bingjie was soaking wet, her apricot-yellow clothes clinging to her body, revealing her fair skin underneath.
The half-hidden spring light left Chen Yansheng momentarily stunned.
Noticing Chen Yansheng’s burning gaze, Yu Bingjie looked down and realized that she had exposed herself, so she quickly covered her private parts.
“Turn your head away, don’t look!”
Hearing Yu Bingjie’s somewhat shy tone, Chen Yansheng coughed lightly: “It’s not like we haven’t seen it before…”
“You still dare to talk back!” Hearing Chen Yansheng’s words, Yu Bingjie became even more embarrassed, her tone tinged with anger.
Seeing that Yu Bingjie seemed genuinely angry, Chen Yansheng had no choice but to turn his head away and say:
“We’re all soaked. We need to find a cave to warm up by the fire and dry our clothes, otherwise we’ll easily catch a cold.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Bingjie nodded and said, “Yes, the inspection team is definitely still near Black Mountain searching for people, and we can’t get out either.”
“It’ll be safer to spend the night in a cave.”
Seeing that Bingjie had said so, Chen Yansheng immediately manipulated the Mountain God Token and began to sense the mountains and forests.
Soon, he found an abandoned cave nearby.
As soon as the two entered the cave, they smelled a pungent odor.
You can also see several stone stoves made of piled stones.
“Yansheng, why does this cave have a pungent smell, and why are there so many stone stoves?”
Yu Bingjie looked at the stone stoves in the cave with a look of curiosity on her face.
“These stone stoves were all used to boil saltpeter…”
Chen Yansheng gave a brief explanation.
Saltpeter is a material used to make firecrackers and can also be used as fertilizer.
In the past, people would boil saltpeter in caves and then sell it, which would bring in a lot of money.
After hearing this, Yu Bingjie’s face showed a look of sudden realization.
The two quickly gathered some firewood, intending to light it with matches, but the matches got soaked when they went down to the river.
Fortunately, there were many flints in the cave. Chen Yansheng picked them up and fiddled with them for a while before finally getting the campfire going.
By the time we finished all that, it was almost dark.
“You warm yourself by the fire, I’ll go to the river and get some food.”
Chen Yansheng took off his shirt, revealing his bare chest, and said to Bingjie.
This time, Yu Bingjie didn’t say she wanted to go along, since her clothes were all wet.
When Chen Yansheng arrived at the riverbank, he saw many grass carp swimming in the clear water, as well as many river shrimp and crabs.
However, he had no tools and was wondering how he could catch these river delicacies so that he could have a big meal with Yu Bingjie.
Unexpectedly, the river delicacies on the riverbank seemed to sense Chen Yansheng’s needs and gathered around him.
Some river shrimp even jumped out of the river and pounced on Chen Yansheng’s hand, rubbing against the Mountain God’s Token mark.
“Hmm? It’s the Mountain God’s Decree… that allows these aquatic animals to sense my emotions and actively try to please me?”
Upon seeing this, Chen Yansheng’s face lit up with joy.
It seems the Mountain God’s Decree’s ability to communicate with animals is indeed true.
Now, the river seafood feast for tonight is settled.
…
When Yu Bingjie saw Chen Yansheng return with several grass carp, a few kilograms of river shrimp, and seven or eight river crabs wrapped in banana leaves and vines, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
“Yansheng, did you catch all these river delicacies?”
Chen Yansheng smiled and nodded, saying, “We’re lucky; we just happened to run into them all together.”
He didn’t say he used the Mountain God’s Token, he just said he was lucky.
Since there are no ingredients, these river delicacies can only be simply grilled and eaten.
Even so, after being grilled, these fish, shrimp, and crabs are still very fresh, sweet, and delicious.
After we finished eating, the night became completely dark.
However, Yu Bingjie’s clothes were not completely dry, and she was wearing them for a long time. Being half-dry and half-wet was also uncomfortable.
She wanted to change her clothes, but when she saw Chen Yansheng beside her, a blush crept onto her face.
Seemingly guessing what Yu Bingjie was thinking, Chen Yansheng touched his nose and advised:
“Bingjie, why don’t you take off your clothes and put them next to the fire to warm them up?”
There’s no one else in this cave.
Yu Bingjie hesitated after hearing Chen Yansheng’s words.
Seeing this, Chen Yansheng pointed to the pile of straw laid out to the side and said, “Bingjie, it’s already dark, and it’s pitch black, so I can’t see anything.”
“If you sleep in wet clothes like this, you’ll definitely catch a cold tomorrow!”
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t look at you later.”
“Besides, you don’t want Aunt May to worry about your health, do you?”
Hearing Chen Yansheng’s words, Yu Bingjie was also persuaded.
She bit her lip and said to Chen Yansheng, “Turn your head away, don’t look!”
Chen Yansheng nodded and turned his head away.
Then, I heard the rustling sound of clothes being taken off behind me.
Through the campfire on the ground, Chen Yansheng could only see a graceful figure taking off her clothes, and then the figure became even more slender.
“Help me, take the clothes to the campfire.”
Chen Yansheng heard Yu Bingjie’s somewhat shy voice.
Several pieces of women’s clothing were thrown at his feet.
Chen Yansheng took a closer look and his breathing became rapid.
Just because among these clothes, besides the apricot-colored outer garment that Yu Bingjie wore, there was also a pink inner garment…
