Chapter 319 Entering the Forest

After Li Deyang poured water for everyone, he straightened up slightly. His face instantly became serious, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable seriousness.

He looked around at everyone and said in a low and powerful voice:

"I don't think it's a big deal that you're exploring everywhere. As young people, it's always good to move around more and experience more."

There was a gentleness in his voice, as if he understood the adventurous spirit of the young people.

However, his tone suddenly changed and became serious:

"But since you've come to explore our primeval forest, I have something to say."

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if to emphasize the importance of what he was going to say next.

"After all, this is my responsibility to be stationed here." There was a sense of responsibility in his voice, as if telling everyone that he had an obligation to protect this land and those who took risks.

"The primeval forests here are very dangerous. Not only are there all kinds of ferocious animals, but they are also endless and it's very easy to get lost."

There was a hint of warning in Li Deyang's voice, as if reminding everyone not to underestimate the dangers of this forest.

"I won't give you the map."

His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"At the same time, I also ask you to return the way you came and find some safer places to explore."

While Li Deyang's words were still echoing in the air,

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

There was another knock on the door.

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Deyang's face, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

There are very few people coming here, especially in such a remote border area, but today is very unusual, with two waves of people coming at once.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he walked to the door with a puzzled look on his face and slowly pushed it open.

"dad!!!"

A clear childish voice instantly broke the silence of the room. A little girl with two pigtails came in like a young swallow returning to its nest.

Suddenly crashed into Li Deyang's arms.

Her movements were quick and powerful, as if she hadn't seen her father for a long time.

A bright smile appeared on her rosy face, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes, filled with longing and joy for her father.

"Oh my, my little cutie Tingting!"

A warm smile also appeared on Li Deyang's face, and his eyes softened instantly.

He bent down, gently picked up the little girl, and began to rub her face with his stubbled chin, as if expressing his longing in this way.

"It's been so long since we last met. Does my dear miss daddy?"

There was a hint of doting in Li Deyang's voice, and his eyes were fixed on the daughter in his arms, as if waiting for her answer.

"Have!"

The little girl smiled and dodged Li Deyang's stubble while answering loudly. There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, as if she was enjoying this long-lost father-daughter time.

at this time,

Behind the little girl, an old man who was very familiar to Lin Qiye and the others walked out slowly, carrying a heavy plaid bag on his back.

The sunlight shone on him, and the shadow of the cloth bag was cast on the ground, appearing particularly heavy.

There was a hint of fatigue on the old man's face, but there was determination in his eyes.

This grandfather and granddaughter were exactly the grandfather and granddaughter that Lin Qiye and his friends met on the train.

When Li Deyang saw the old man at the door, he was slightly stunned. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he walked forward quickly and helped the old man take off the plaid cloth bag on his shoulders.

"Such a heavy bag? What's in it?"

There was a hint of concern in Li Deyang's voice, and his eyes swept over the cloth bag, as if guessing what was inside.

The old man did not answer immediately, but glanced suspiciously at Lin Qiye and the other six people in the room.

His eyes were slightly stunned, revealing a hint of wariness, as if he was thinking about the identities of these strangers.

His gaze lingered on Lin Qiye for a moment, as if he was recalling something.

At this time, Lin Qiye and the other six took the opportunity to say goodbye to Li Deyang directly.

Their movements were quick and coordinated, as if they had already discussed it. Lin Qiye smiled slightly and nodded to Li Deyang:

"Uncle Li, sorry to bother you, we'll leave first." There was a hint of politeness in his voice, but a firmness in his eyes.

Then, the six people walked out of the room and walked away along the narrow road.

Their figures gradually lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if blending into this remote border.

The old man's eyes were fixed on the figures of Lin Qiye and the other six people until their figures gradually disappeared from his sight, and then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

There was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

He frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and asked with a hint of caution:

"Deyang, what are those six people here for?"

Li Deyang was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he did not expect the old man to ask this question.

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of relief in his tone:

"They were just a group of tourists who were about to enter the forest. They liked adventure, but I persuaded them to go back. What's the matter?" There was a hint of confusion in his voice, as if he didn't understand why the old man cared so much.

The old man shook his head, with a look of relief in his eyes, as if he had just been worrying too much.

He smiled slightly,

"Nothing... By the way, these are the winter clothes I brought for you. You can wear them after washing them." There was a hint of doting in his voice, as if he was caring about his junior.

Li Deyang smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes:

"Thanks, Dad. You're always so thoughtful." There was a hint of warmth in his voice, as if he was touched by the old man's concern.

“It would be great if you were so honest on the surface, but with this crappy job, it’s hard to even move.

Now you are not young anymore, I am the one who takes care of Tingting.

You don't have much to worry about, so why don't you go to the city and find a stable and reliable job, and find a woman at the same time."

There was a hint of helplessness and concern in the old man's voice, and his eyes showed his worry for his son.

He shook his head slightly, as if worried about Li Deyang's future.

Listening to his old father's nagging, the mustache on Li Deyang's face twitched slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He quickly forced a smile, trying to ease his father's worries:

"oops!

Dad, it’s not easy for me to find a woman at my age. Even if I do, it will only delay others. There’s no need!

And I take good care of myself.”

The old man sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, as if he was not satisfied with Li Deyang's answer.

He took out Li Deyang's clothes from his pocket, and also took out some beef, mutton, green onions, and cabbage, and placed them on the table.

"You're like this, and you take good care of yourself."

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"Forget it! I won't say much. Since you're here today, I'll cook you some meat and something delicious to reward you!"

There was a hint of warmth in the old man's voice, as if he was expressing his love for his son in his own way.

Take action to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Li Deyang.

There was only so much he could do for his son.

......

"Are we just leaving like this? Aren't we going to ask for a map?"

Baili Pangpang asked hurriedly, with a hint of anxiety and confusion in his voice.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he had not yet reacted to what had just happened.

He frowned slightly, as if trying to recall his purpose.

At this moment, An Qingyu and Lin Qiye looked at each other tacitly, as if they had already understood each other.

An Qingyu adjusted his posture slightly and gently supported the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands. His movements were light and graceful.

There was a hint of calmness in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

He spoke calmly:

"Isn't that the map in that room?" His voice was low and calm, as if reminding Baili Pangpang that their trip was not in vain.

Baili Pangpang nodded, a flash of sudden enlightenment in his eyes:

"I know, but we haven't recorded it yet..." There was a hint of regret in his voice, as if he felt it was a pity to leave like this.

"I've noted it down." An Qingyu nodded seriously, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

He continued:

"There's no mistake. The edge of that map matches the edge of the forest we just passed through. That's the map of this forest area.

But I still need to go back and study the meaning of some of the markings inside..." There was a hint of seriousness in his voice, as if he was thinking about his next plan.

"No, just wait."

The corners of Baili Pangpang's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes, as if he was shocked by An Qingyu's ability.

He looked at An Qingyu as if he were looking at a monster, and his voice trembled slightly:

"In just a few minutes, you've already memorized the map?"

An Qingyu frowned slightly, as if a little puzzled by Baili Pangpang's surprise.

He spoke lightly, with a hint of indifference in his voice:

"It won't take a few minutes. Just take a few glances!" There was confidence in his tone, as if this was a very simple matter.

"Ah! This... are you a pervert? You remember it just like that..." There was a hint of surprise in Baili Pangpang's voice, and his eyes were full of shock, as if he couldn't believe An Qingyu's ability.

An Qingyu turned his head, his eyes filled with the cold arrogance of a top student, as if responding to Baili Pangpang's question:

"Is this difficult? And it's not just me who remembers it, doesn't Lin Qiye remember it too?"

There was a hint of disdain in his voice, as if to say, "What's the big deal?"

Baili Pangpang turned his gaze to Lin Qiye, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if looking for confirmation.

Lin Qiye smiled slightly and nodded:

"It's really not difficult. I memorized it after just two glances. It's also a good thing they put the map directly in the room, otherwise we would have been in trouble..."

There was a hint of ease in his voice, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Baili Pangpang: “………”

Baili Pangpang's face showed helplessness, and there was a hint of confusion and disbelief in his eyes.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end I chose to remain silent.

Countless question marks flashed through his mind, as if questioning whether the two people in front of him were really human.

"Two monsters, are you talking like a human being?"

Baili Pangpang muttered to himself in his heart. Although he didn't make any sound, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He shook his head, as if talking to himself:

“Be a good person.

Can a normal person memorize a map easily with just two glances?

I simply believed your lies."
