Chapter 239: Finding a Way Out (II)

Long immediately said, “Not necessarily, but they must have a good tool!”

Liu became speechless.

“You used that dagger, right?” Long thought of it. “The material of that dagger seems a little strange.”

“Yes.” Liu nodded. “Otherwise, we can’t cut silver with it.”

“You hunted with that dagger?” While asking, Long went to the roasted hare. “It smells great. I’m starving.”

Liu pursed his lips. “Didn’t you find any wild animal earlier?”

“Yes, I saw hares, too… But they ran faster than me, so I didn’t catch them.” Long said calmly and didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

The corners of Liu’s mouth twitched.

Long said regretfully, “I wanted to sit under a tree and wait for the hare to crash into it. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any tree at all.”

Liu didn’t understand him. How could this man have such a strange idea? Sit under the tree and wait for the hare to come? Why would the hare come and crash into the tree?

Long was really hungry, so he devoured the whole hare like a wolf.

After eating the last bite, Long drank some water. “I’m so full.”

Liu said, “Did you boil the water?”

“Yes. This place is shabby, but there are still two pots.”

Liu nodded. “I looked around and found it’s desolate. I think we’ll have to walk a long way before we see some people.”

Long blinked and said, “Maybe we can wait here for some people to rescue us?”

“Do you think that the Shadow Guardians and Shi Qingzhou will also come here from Songye River?” Liu knew what Long was thinking about.

Long nodded. “I think they’ll surely come.”

“But the whirlpool in that river is very strange. People who get into it may not end up at the same place,” Liu said calmly, “So we still need to find a way out.”

“Well… we may not end up at the same place. That’d be annoying.”

“Yes, so we can’t just wait. What if they can’t get here after a long time?”

Long inhaled deeply. “You’re right. Let’s try to figure out a way tomorrow.”

Liu nodded. “Okay. What should we do tonight?”

“Oh?” Long blinked. “What do you mean?”

Liu sneered. “Don’t pretend you don’t understand. There’s only one bed here.”

Long curled his lips. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it. We can share the bed.”

Liu found it unbelievable. “But I mind it!”

“All right. I’ll sleep in bed and you can sleep on the floor.” After saying that, Long jumped onto the bed and lay down while stretching his arms and legs.

Liu really couldn’t stand him. “Long Xiaoyuan!”

“Ahem, this name can’t be called here. It will cause trouble. Call me Lin Yuan later.”

“Lin Yuan? Why this name?” Liu was a little puzzled.

“I just thought of it. Do you need any reason?” Long looked at Liu as if he was a fool.

Liu got angry. “You…”

Long closed his eyes, “Alright, let’s sleep. I won’t tease you. Come on.”

While speaking, Long moved his body and made some space for Liu.

Liu was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he went to the bed. Sleeping on the ground wouldn’t be comfortable. Most importantly, the room was so small that there wasn’t much space on the ground, not to mention the fire!

The two men were lying on the same bed. Both of them were tired, so they soon fell asleep. Of course, Liu was much more vigilant than Long.

Long felt very good when he woke up in the next morning. He looked at the beautiful man beside him… It was a pity that it wasn’t his empress.

The reason why he felt good was that both his legs were on Liu’s body.

Liu also woke up soon.

Compared with Long, Liu looked very bad.

“What’s your problem? You kept moving at night!” He didn’t know how many times he had moved Long’s legs away, but Long always put his legs on his body again when he was about to fall asleep! In the end, he didn’t have any energy and just let it be!

“Oh? Really?” Long didn’t know what he did while he was sleeping. He yawned and sat up.

“Alright, I don’t mind it.”

Liu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. “Seriously? I mind it, okay?”

“Alright.” Long waved his hand. “I’m not your Brother Ouyang and you’re not my Qingzhou. Just stop complaining.”

Liu found it so hard to argue with Long.

“Why is the sky so gray in the morning?” After getting out of bed, Long opened the door and looked at the sky outside.

Liu also observed carefully. “Well, it’s really strange.”

Long looked at the fire that had gone out. “It seems very cold outside… Our clothes were drenched yesterday, so we felt cold, but it’s different today… Why do I still feel so cold?”

Liu frowned. “Yes, it should be very hot now.”

“It’s weird.” Long frowned and then said, “Forget it. Let’s freshen up and leave here. But I wonder if we can find a place to stay later. If the whole area is desolate and there isn’t even a thatched cottage, will we have to sleep in the open? It’s freezing cold here.”

“That’s also a problem.” Liu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s take some things away.”

Long also meant that. At least, they needed to take several pots and jars with them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know how to drink water.

They had no idea if there was water in this area, so they had to bring some.

It wouldn’t matter if they didn’t eat anything for three days, but they couldn’t hold on without drinking any water.

Moreover, they still needed energy to find a way out!

After freshening up, Long and Liu packed some things into a bag. Liu carried it on his back and they resumed their journey.

Why was it Liu who carried the bag?

Long said seriously, “I’m a noble person. What kind of work do you think I have done? Me carrying the bag will only slow us down! You also hope we can find a way out soon, don’t you?”

Facing such a cheeky person, Liu really didn’t know how to refuse!

Most importantly, what Long said was true. Given his identity, he really didn’t need to do this before.

Long thought that it might be a long distance and carrying it would be tiring. It was better to ask Liu to do it. He should feel happy if he could catch up with Liu!
