Chapter 44 Shen Nanzhi and Lin Chuan acted as if they didn't hear anything. Lin was a little embarrassed and had no choice but to agree because of his classmates.
Shen Nanzhi didn't care about this. Chen Baiying didn't take advantage of her anyway.
After the green mist dissipated, the entire ancient town was still gloomy, and the black clouds were so heavy that they were about to were hung outside the doors of every house, illuminating the stone pavement. The corners of the walls were covered with bright green moss, and a few strands of white flowers were fluttering on the roof.
Most of the houses in the town are built directly with stones, which are built in circles like a tube building. They shuttle between the stone walls and accidentally go back to their original position. It is more helpless than a ghost trying to hit the wall.
Shen Nanzhi had an excellent sense of direction. She walked at the front and led the two of them smoothly.
Hearing vague voices, Shen Nanzhi turned around the stone wall and reached another three-way intersection. She saw two people diagonally ahead leaning against the low wall, breathing heavily. A thin layer of sweat broke out on their backs. They seemed to be spinning in circles.
Next to them squatted a man in black short-sleeves, with deep eyebrows and his usual reticence.
Lin Chuan and He Xianyue looked at each other in the air. They didn't intend to recognize each other now, they just regarded them as strangers.
"I finally saw a living person. This place is so weird. It's like a maze. It's completely impossible to find the direction."
Seeing the three of them looking at him suspiciously, the unshaven old man immediately introduced himself.
"My name is Zhao Kunsi. If you want, you can call me Fourth Brother. The thin guy next to you is Zhang Quan. My nephew should be about the same age as you."
Zhang Quan has yellow hair, and Zhao Kunsi wears silver rings on his hands and a striking "snow" tattoo on his arm. The two of them are very social, but they speak very boldly and give people a casual feeling.
"The three of us woke up on this bluestone slab. We heard the mechanical voice saying those misty words, and then a big blue mist arose, and we hid in the empty house behind us."
Zhao Kunsi took over Zhang Quan's words. "The fog has cleared, and we plan to go out and take a look... We are almost exhausted, and we are still spinning in circles."
Lin Que also briefly described the experiences of the five of them. "...Let's go together. She has a particularly strong sense of direction."
He pointed at Shen Nanzhi, his eyes adoring, like two shining stars.
Shen Nanzhi was actually very tired and wanted to go back to the dormitory and take a good nap. She spoke less and nodded in agreement with Lin Que's words. "Let's get together first."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the corner ahead suddenly became very bright. Shen Nanzhi was the first to escape from the narrow path, and it suddenly became clear.
There was a large open space in front of him, and there was a dense forest about a hundred meters away, planted with maple trees. The soil was moist, the air carried the fragrance of grass and trees, and wild jasmine crawled on the ground.
The light fragrance of various woods soothed Shen Nanzhi's tense spirit.
"Oh, these trees are really growing." Zhao Kunsi was the last one to squeeze through the narrow stone wall, looking at these well-growing trees with emotion. "I still remember that my grandpa was a carpenter. He must have been itching to see these trees."
"This tree is growing so well, it needs to eat meat."
He Xianyue's cold voice was like cold well water, and his tone was serious, which startled them.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a society governed by law!" Zhang Quan felt goosebumps on his back.
"It seems that you haven't understood the situation. This is not a scientific and peaceful place. Under the clearly marked rules of the game, you must not only guard against ghosts, but also against humans."
He Xianyue's words were a little more direct, but they still made sense, and his intentions were kind, and he was willing to remind novices who didn't understand anything at all.
Zhao Kunsi scratched his head and cursed.
Lin Chuan looked at the back of He Xianyue's head and sighed in his heart. He simply thought that his behavior was extremely unnecessary, but said nothing more.
