Chapter 223 Dreaming of a Rat Spirit
"No problem, no problem." Baby Mouse waved his hand: "Come and have some water."
As she spoke, Shu Bao took out her water bottle and handed it to Hua Ye: "You were startled by the black bear, and your minds are unstable, so it's natural that you'll have nightmares."
"Thank you." Hua Ye took the drink, took a sip, and then sat down not far from the two of them.
"but......"
Mouse squinted, looking Hua Ye up and down, secretly marveling at her, before saying, "You're quite something, little girl, to be able to wake up from a nightmare so quickly."
"Huh? What?"
Hua Ye was still a little confused and didn't understand what Shu Bao meant.
After a while, she realized what was happening and turned to look at Su Zhizhi, Zhao Wu, and Song Yifeng, who were still in the tent.
They remained trapped in their nightmare, struggling in agony.
However, Hua Ye did not wake them up immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Shu Bao and asked softly, "Does such a thing really exist in these mountains?"
"What?!" Rat Baby was stunned for a moment, unsure of what Flower Night wanted to ask.
"Like spirits or monsters..."
Hana's speech slowed down, as if she was unsure whether her word choice was accurate.
"A spirit or monster..."
Mouse Baby squinted its bright little eyes, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know if there are any spirits or monsters. But I know there is a mountain god here! I brought them here this time so they could see the true face of the mountain god!"
"Mountain God?!"
Hua Ye's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment. "There really is a mountain god here?!"
"Yes, of course," Mouse Baby nodded gently.
At this moment, Hana's eyes began to look around frantically, and her chest heaved violently with tension, making her appear unusually excited.
After about ten minutes, the others gradually woke up and came out of their tents.
"Damn it! I had a nightmare!"
Zhao Wu crawled out of the tent while cursing.
Following closely behind, Song Yifeng also looked extremely pale, wondering what kind of dream he had just encountered.
"Zhao Wu!"
Su Zhizhi ran out of the tent, sobbing, and threw herself into Zhao Wu's arms, choking out, "I dreamt that we were being chased by a big black bear. We finally escaped, but in the end, we were eaten by a rat demon!"
How terrifying! Waaah~ I never want to stay here again!
"You had this nightmare too? You even dreamt about a rat spirit?"
Upon hearing Su Zhizhi's words, Zhao Wu screamed in alarm, his face filled with fear and panic.
Upon hearing this, the mouse's expression changed slightly, but it did not rush to speak.
"Ah."
Su Zhizhi sobbed, her voice tinged with fear, "That rat spirit is terrifying. I've heard that there are spirits in these deep mountains. What if my nightmare comes true?!"
Zhao Wu gently patted Su Zhizhi, comforting her not to be afraid.
He then turned his gaze to the rat baby with a puzzled look and said, "But the rat spirit I dreamed of was none other than our tour guide in disguise."
Upon hearing this, the corner of Mouse Baby's mouth twitched slightly.
But she quickly put on a smiling face and replied, "I'm a rat spirit?! Your nightmare is really interesting."
I'm just an ordinary person who needs to work to support my family. How could I possibly be some kind of rat spirit?!
And you want to eat them all?! Hahaha, that's hilarious!
As he spoke, Shubao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, Zhao Wu did not respond to his words, but just looked at him silently, his eyes still revealing a little doubt and confusion.
Seeing this, Song Yifeng rubbed his forehead, trying to relieve his headache.
Then he said, "Zhao Wu, is it because you think Shu Bao looks a bit like a rat, and his name contains the character for 'rat' that you're having these nightmares?!"
Shu Bao's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Back then, everyone thought that giving a child a humble name would make them easier to raise."
That's why my parents gave me this name. And I'm too lazy to change it."
After Shu Bao finished explaining, Zhao Wu nodded, seemingly dispelling his doubts.
However, Zhao Wu was still somewhat shaken by the terrible nightmare he had just had.
So he hugged Su Zhizhi tightly and led her to sit down. Neither of them spoke again.
Soon, Deng Mingzhou also came out of the tent with a gloomy expression.
Unlike the others, he didn't shout that he had a nightmare; he simply lowered his head slightly, as if deep in thought.
Shi Xiaxia saw that everyone else had already come out of the tent one after another. If she and Cheng Yajun continued to lie in the tent, it might seem a little strange.
So Shi Xiaxia followed and went out of the tent. However, her expression was calm, and she did not mention anything about the nightmare.
After Shi Xiaxia came out, her gaze swept over everyone present.
As she was about to pass by the group and turn her gaze toward the tent where Zhu Xing had not yet appeared, she suddenly stopped and stared straight at Deng Mingzhou.
What kind of nightmare did Deng Mingzhou have? Why did his appearance change so drastically?!
Shi Xiaxia kept thinking about Cheng Yajun and really wanted to turn back and see her face.
But worried that doing so would attract the attention of others, he could only quietly walk to the side and sit down.
She thought and thought, but still couldn't understand the reason, and finally could only helplessly look away.
Then, she turned her gaze to Zhu Xing's tent and found that Zhu Xing had woken up and was sitting at the entrance of the tent.
When their eyes met, Zhu Xing playfully winked at her.
Shi Xiaxia quickly looked away.
Having experienced that terrible nightmare, everyone was filled with fear and unease, and no one wanted to go back to their tent to rest.
They sat together in silence, each seemingly lost in their own thoughts.
After a while, Hua Ye asked about the mountain god.
Meanwhile, the rat baby told some strange and unfounded rumors, gradually diverting everyone's attention and drawing them into the story instead of keeping them thinking about their nightmares.
As the sky gradually brightened, the sun slowly rose.
The warm sunlight shone on everyone, gradually restoring their complexions to normal and making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.
Afterwards, everyone had a simple breakfast, packed up their tents, and set off on their journey again.
The four members of the group, including Hana, retrieved their backpacks.
