"You're crazy." Cheng Jin whispered while holding the scalpel.

Li Chu clenched his teeth and tightly held the chopsticks in his hand.

"You saw what I did just now. I believe you." Wu Ye endured the pain and said.

"This should be the intestines …"

Li Chu looked at Cheng Jin kneeling beside Wu Ye and calmly reciting biological knowledge. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Cheng Jin lifted his clothes and stared at Wu Ye's abdomen without moving. Finally, she saw a bulging and moving pattern. She quickly pressed down on that thing with her hand and raised the scalpel with her other hand. Without any hesitation, she quickly made an incision.

"Clamp!"

Li Chu used all his strength to clamp the insect's body, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it out. He could only roll it in a circle.

Wong Meng nervously said: "No, if this continues, the insect will run away."

Cheng Jin's expression was frozen, or it could be said that she didn't have any expression at all. She stared at Wu Ye who was twitching in pain. She wanted to see a sign of life or death on his face. Suddenly, she picked up the scalpel and made the wound bigger. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the insect's body that was exposed in the air. She pulled the insect out and threw it to the ground.

Lao Mai quickly shot and ended the life of the wriggling insect.

Wu Ye leaned against the pillar and weakly gasped for breath.

Cheng Jin's fingers slightly paused and the scalpel fell from her hand to the ground.

"Braised fish … No!

Lê Kam!

Are you okay? "Li Chu looked at the motionless Cheng Jin.

"Lê Kam!

Wake up! "

Cheng Jin stared at her hand, her eyes lifeless. She kept muttering, "Blood … So much blood … Don't …" She raised her hand, ignoring the blood on her hand, and pressed on the scar on her forehead. "Don't hit me … Don't …"

"Oh no!" Li Chu hurriedly reached out to hug her and tried to comfort her, "Lê Kam, don't be afraid!

Don't be afraid!

Brother is here, no one can hit you … Don't be afraid, don't be afraid … "He gently stroked Cheng Jin's hair and whispered," Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad has already left … "

Cheng Jin also hugged Li Chu tightly, as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw. She asked in a trembling voice, "Did he leave …?"

"Let's go, let's go. Don't be afraid … Big brother will always protect you … Our Jin Jin is the most obedient child in the world, no one will hit you …" Li Chu comforted Cheng Jin as he looked at the others nervously.

"Don't be afraid, big brother will always protect you, no one will dare to bully you!"

Lao Mai widened his eyes and said angrily, "Is this woman crazy?!

There are still people behind who need her to do it! "

Wu Ye reluctantly raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Jin who was in chaos. He straightened his body and said, "Let me do it!"

"Boss, your wound —"

"Take care of Cheng Jin first. She can't be like this." Wu Ye stood up with his hand on his wound.

Cheng Jin's eyes stared at every moving person in panic. In her eyes, it was as if anyone could rush over and hit her and make her bleed.

Wu Ye let out a long breath and reached out to touch Cheng Jin's head.

"Cheng Jin, don't be afraid, we're all here." He picked up the scalpel she dropped on the ground and dragged his feet to the others.

"Jin Jin, it's okay, it's okay.

If anyone dares to bully you, big brother will beat them away! "After saying that, Li Chu stared fiercely at Lao Mai.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Jin whispered, "Yeah, it's okay."

Li Chu knew that she had regained her consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief. He let go of Cheng Jin and said, "It's good that you're okay … You scared me to death … You were fine when you saw the blood, I thought you had recovered …"

Cheng Jin's face was still pale and there were still bloodstains on her face. She wiped her face and smiled, saying softly, "I'm okay.

I … I will get better … "

Li Chu was slightly stunned and nodded vigorously.

Cheng Jin had a long dream.

In the dream, she was playing with a doll, her mother was knitting a sweater for her, and her brother took the football out to play with other friends.

Suddenly, her father came back. He kept drinking. He was drunk and shouted loudly. Her mother quickly told her to hide in her brother's room.

She heard the beating and scolding outside and hid in the corner in fear. Suddenly, there was no sound outside. The lock turned and her father pushed the door open. She was pushed by the door and slammed into the wall.

He was angry when he saw her hugging the doll. He scolded loudly like thunder on a rainy day.

She couldn't hear anything clearly. She just covered her head and cried loudly.

"What are you crying for!"

Other than pain, there was more pain. She was in so much pain that she couldn't say a word. She was slammed out and her forehead hit the corner of the table. There was a gash on her forehead.

Her father finally fell asleep. No one cared about her. She could only cry silently. She cried until she was dizzy. She touched her forehead and found that her hand was covered in blood. She didn't dare to speak for a long time.

She was afraid that her father would wake up and beat her again.

"Mom!

Jin Jin! "

"Big brother …"

"Jin Jin, don't be afraid. I'll go find Auntie Li!"

"Is Dad gone …?"

"Don't be afraid. Big brother will protect you!

Let's go find a doctor! "

"This gash is too big. There are so many stitches. It'll definitely leave a scar. Such a beautiful girl … She's so pitiful."

"Look at her. Her forehead is so ugly!"

"No wonder she's good at her studies. It's because she's ugly!"

"It's okay, Jin Jin. Big brother is here. Don't be afraid."

"Hiss …" Cheng Jin only felt a splitting headache. He sat up on the bed and realized that the blood on his hand had been wiped clean. Only then did he reach out to rub his forehead and quickly get up to walk out, his footsteps soft.

Wu Ye looked up at her.

"You're awake?

There's still some breakfast. It's still edible. "

"Yeah."

Cheng Jin sat beside Wu Xie and tied her loose hair into a half-ponytail. She picked up her chopsticks and began to pick up the food with a calm expression.

"Do you feel better?" Wu Ye's eyes paused on the scar on her forehead for a moment. He quickly looked away and asked.

"Much better." Cheng Jin drank a mouthful of porridge and looked at Wu Ye. She asked, "Is your injury better?

The gash I made yesterday was a little big and I tore it out. I don't know if it hurt you. Did you apply medicine in time? "

Wu Ye showed a confident smile.

"Don't worry. This injury is nothing."

"I saw other wounds on your body yesterday." Cheng Jin didn't even look up.

"You have to be careful with wounds like this. It's life-threatening."

"Thank you for your concern."

"By the way, this is for you. It's for temporary self-defense." Wu Ye seemed to remember something. He took out a dagger and handed it to her.

The outside of the dagger was a leather scabbard. The inside of the scabbard was white and flawless. It didn't look like a dagger, but a work of art.

Cheng Jin was slightly stunned. Wu Ye continued, "I found it here. This thing should be made from bones. It looks small and exquisite. It's most suitable for a little girl to use. Keep it for self-defense.

When you get out, I'll ask someone to get you a good one. "He reminded," Don't underestimate it because it's small. It's very sharp. Use it carefully. "

Cheng Jin was keenly aware that Wu Ye's words were a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange. She could only put away the dagger and swallow a mouthful of porridge. She asked, "When are we leaving?"

"In a while.

Su Nan and I have already discussed it. Everyone is leaving together. "

"Everyone?" Cheng Jin was a little surprised. She asked, "You're taking Garu with you?"

"It's Su Nan's decision. She probably thinks Garu can lead us in the direction of the desert." Wu Ye's lips curled up.

"You'd better be careful."

Wu Ye looked at her and said, "What's your opinion?"

"I just hate Su Nan, that's all." Cheng Jin's gaze was fixed on a point in the distance. "Would Su Nan do something that would cause her to lose money?

A fool leading us to Gu Tong Jing?

Also, sometimes I feel that Garu is very strange … "She saw Wu Ye looking at her so calmly. She couldn't help but be a little surprised. She asked uncomfortably," Why are you looking at me like that? "

Wu Ye said with a smile, "I feel that what you say makes sense."

Cheng Jin's lips twitched. "I also feel that one shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others.

If you don't want to listen, then forget it. "

"I haven't said anything yet."

"I'll go pack up."

Cheng Jin had eaten her fill. She stacked the bowls and chopsticks together and walked toward the kitchen. Her footsteps paused as she said in a low voice, "Thank you for yesterday."

Wu Ye was puzzled. "Thank me?"

"Thank you for what you said." Cheng Jin didn't explain further and walked away.

"What I said?" Wu Ye was startled. He couldn't help but recall what he had said yesterday.

After breakfast, the group rested for a while before setting off again.

"My gun is gone. You guys be careful," Wu Ye whispered to the three after hanging all the equipment on the camel.

Cheng Jin glanced at the people around her. She silently turned around and climbed onto the camel.

Not long after, the compass suddenly malfunctioned. The camel also stopped. Everyone fell into despair once again. The one who stole Wu Ye's gun was Wang Dao. He lost control of his emotions and fired a shot into the sky. Behind his seemingly valiant actions was actually a deep fear.

Wu Ye persuaded him with great difficulty. Only then did he lead the group to set off again.

"What should we do next?"

Wu Ye looked at Li Chu and said, "Li Chu, it's time for you to go on stage."

Li Chu was a little dazed because of the heat. After being called by Wu Ye, an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He suddenly sobered up and stammered, "Wh-what …"

Wu Ye smiled. He raised his hand and punched Li Chu's nose.

"Damn!

Wu Ye, are you crazy! "Li Chu instantly sobered up. He covered his bleeding nose and roared.

"Don't be noisy."

Wu Ye didn't look at him. He just stared at the bloodstains on the ground as if he was trying to identify something. Then, he pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go this way."

Cheng Jin originally wanted to have a good talk with Wu Ye about Li Chu. Seeing his extraordinarily serious appearance, she felt strange. She also went over to look at the bloodstains on the ground. However, Wu Ye had already pulled her sleeve and walked to the other side.

"Don't look. Remember to stop Li Chu's bleeding later."

Cheng Jin suddenly realized something. She glared at Wu Ye and said, "Are you crazy?"

"This is for his own good." Wu Ye said seriously as if he really meant it.

"Hey, are we still going?" Li Chu covered his nose and said loudly, "My blood is almost dry!"

"Let's go. That brat Li Chu is urging us."

Cheng Jin sneered. She shook off Wu Ye's hand and walked to Li Chu's side to stop his bleeding.

Wu Ye shook his head helplessly and followed Cheng Jin.

After walking for some time, Wu Ye stared at the bloodstains on the ground. He straightened his body and said, "We're here."

Li Chu had just stopped his nosebleed. Hearing his words, he asked, "We're here?

Where are we?

Gu Tongjing?

Where is Gu Tongjing? "

"In front." Wu Ye raised his chin, indicating Li Chu to look at the sand dune in front.

"There's water in front!"

Everyone rushed forward and ran down the sand dune. They threw themselves at the water source and drank in big mouthfuls. Suddenly, someone noticed something shiny on the shore. Upon closer inspection, it was actually grains of gold. They couldn't help but fight over it. In the group, only Ma Maonian and Wu Ye didn't move.

Cheng Jin stood at the side and looked at Lao Mai and the others' frenzied appearance. She sneered.

Li Tuo looked at her cold expression and said, "So many people have died, and now only these few people are left, yet they can still laugh.

What's the point of all this gold when they're all gone … "

"People die for wealth. It's not strange that they're like this."

Li Chu put his arm around Cheng Jin's shoulder and said, "That's right. This sets off the noble character and unquestionable integrity of us siblings."

Cheng Jin's lips curved, but when she saw Wu Ye walking over, she quickly stopped smiling.

Wu Ye pretended not to see and said to Li Chu, "Get ready to set up camp. Gu Tongjing will come out by itself tomorrow."

Li Chu nodded and ran to Wong Meng's side to help set up the tent.
