"You've got a really big heart." Chen Pi remarked after discovering that the little thing on his back had fallen asleep. In all his years of life, he had never seen anyone fall asleep while being held hostage.

After a while, Chen Pi noticed something was wrong, and he shrugged and said in a slightly nervous tone, "Hey! You brat! Get up!"

Feeling a jolt, Ling Xiao opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed them with his hands, and asked, "What's wrong, old man?"

"Look around, I can't see where I am, I'm completely disoriented," Chen Pi said, directly stating his current predicament.

Ling Xiao looked up and honestly said, "This is a forest, the trees are very dense." As he spoke, Ling Xiao patted Chen Pi on the shoulder to comfort him, "So, old man, it's normal to not be able to find your way! You don't need to blame yourself!"

"I blame myself, you son of a bitch!" Chen Pi cursed angrily. Dealing with this brat was truly difficult. If you called the kid stupid, he wasn't actually that dumb; he knew he was being threatened. But if you called him smart, he was so stupid he could drive you crazy. What word could describe this kind of person? Naïve! Terribly naïve!

"I can't see, hurry up and find a spot! We can't stay in the forest for long, the later it gets, the more poisonous insects there will be, and there will be miasma in the morning!" Chen Pi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was somewhat anxious. Ling Xiao, on Chen Pi's back, could more directly feel that Chen Pi was serious, which meant that if the two of them stayed here at night, they could lose their lives at any time.

"Uncle! You forgot that you're the one who brought me here! How would I know the way? You still haven't told me where we're going, and I don't even know what you want." Ling Xiao shrugged blankly.

"Just tell me where we are, how far it is from the exit, and if there are any landmarks. Don't say anything else!" Chen Pi said, suppressing his temper. He kept telling himself that this person was still useful, so he should hold back and not make a move.

"Let me see!" Ling Xiao curled his fingers into the shape of a telescope and said, "There are trees ahead." Then he suddenly turned around, and Chen Pi, caught off guard, stumbled forward, but quickly straightened up.

"There are trees behind us too!" Ling Xiao exclaimed, then added, "So many trees! Uncle! This forest is huge!"

"You fucking did this on purpose?" Chen Pi spun around and threw Ling Xiao into a big tree. Chen Pi grabbed Ling Xiao by the neck and said, "Kid, you better behave yourself and watch the road for me. Don't try anything funny, or you'll lose your head!"

"What are you saying, old man! Cough cough, old man, I'm going to... I'm going to die!" Ling Xiao coughed as he struggled, gripping Chen Pi's wrists with both hands. At that moment, he was lifted into the air, his little feet kicking wildly.

Seeing that his threat had worked, Chen Pi released Ling Xiao and said, "Now, tell me what's here?"

“There are…there are trees…” Ling Xiao had just started to speak when Chen Pi reached for his waist as if to grab a weapon. Ling Xiao quickly added, “Trees and a swamp…”

Chen Pi snorted and chuckled, then squatted down and said to Ling Xiao, "You're trying to trick me into the swamp? Do you think you'll leave alive if I fall in? Or do you think I won't be able to sense the surrounding soil and will recklessly fall in?"

"I told you, don't try any tricks. I'll give you one more chance. Once you're past the swamp, you won't have to say anything." Chen Pi generously gave Ling Xiao another chance, but only they knew the true meaning behind those words.

Once they cross the swamp, Chenpi will make Lingxiao stay here forever. If bringing Lingxiao along does more harm than good, it's better not to bring him to avoid trouble.
