The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing tried to persuade Huang Chenming to stay, "You haven't eaten much yet, drink a few more cups with me."

Huang Chenming saw that these people were from the same family. No matter how long he stayed with Wan Lianxing, he was still an outsider. They were long-lost brothers drinking and reminiscing about the past. It was redundant for him to sit here. He was treated like a joke by the followers. No matter how kind he was, he could not keep his composure. He had already seen that this follower was not kind to him. Since the last time they had a face-to-face conversation, the follower looked at him with a weird look. "No, my lord, enjoy your meal."

As soon as Huang Chenming left, Wan Lianxing cursed the people in the room, saying how good Huang Chenming was and how talented he was. Despite this, they still drank happily until late at night.

After Huang Chenming left the table, he told himself a fortune. After looking at the fortune, he sat in the room restlessly thinking about things. When he heard a noise outside, he knew that the welcoming banquet was over.

As soon as Wan Lianxing was helped back to his room, Huang Chenming went there and said, "I'll take care of the Marquis here today."

Although Wan Lianxing drank a lot, he was not drunk yet. He said with a smile: "It's good to have Mingming here to accompany me."

At this time, the attendant helped Wan Lianxing onto the bed, and then said to Huang Chenming: "Let me take care of the Marquis, Mr. Huang, go back and rest."

Huang Chenming did not move. He thought for a moment and whispered, "The follower sleeps next to the Marquis. He doesn't like you. Lock the door when you go to bed at night. Remember to call for help if there is anything."

These words were meaningful. Huang Chenming couldn't sleep in the first place, and he felt even more uneasy if he went back now, so he went to Cheng Feng's room again.

Cheng Feng was sleeping in bed with his son in his arms. Hearing a soft knock on the door, he opened the door with his clothes on, "Chen Ming, why are you still not asleep?"

"Can't sleep."

Cheng Feng knew that Huang Chenming was unhappy. No matter how flexible he was, he was still a human being. If he were in his place, he would not be able to stand the bullying of these people. This is what people often call bullying the newcomer. When a stranger appears in a group and this stranger is deeply trusted by the leader of the group, other people will definitely dislike this person and find ways to bully him. This is bullying the newcomer.

"Chen Ming, don't be angry with the follower. His quirks are hard to figure out. But my uncle admires you. When you left the table, my uncle scolded the follower severely and made him obedient. He will definitely not provoke you tomorrow."

"That Suidan isn't a good guy, is he?"

Cheng Feng said: "That person seems to be a little bit stupid and seems to be quite reckless in his actions. He was also scolded by my uncle just now. Don't think too much about it. We will go back in a few days. We don't know when we will meet again."

Huang Chenming said: "I want to leave now."

"You can do it now, right? You can't even get out by yourself during the day, let alone at night. These people don't know you well, so they are bound to be prejudiced against you. You should be magnanimous and don't argue with them."

"Draw me a map and I'll study it."

"You're not really going to leave, are you? Are you going to leave just because your followers say a few words to you?"

"I want to leave here. I don't feel at ease here."

Cheng Feng said: "Even if I draw a map for you, you can't get out. The terrain here is too complicated."

Huang Chenming said, "Draw a map for me. I won't leave. I'll just take a look. I just divined for myself that I will encounter disaster on the road, so don't worry. I won't leave on my own. I just feel at ease with the map in my hand."

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and said, "Do you need a map if you want to go out?"

Huang Chenming smiled, "Why don't I need a map?"

"You should know which direction to go just by moving your fingers, right?"

"Hahahaha, you overestimate me. This forest is too big. I can't hexagram my way out. It won't be accurate that way."

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll draw a picture for you, but you can't leave without permission. The terrain here is complicated and there are many snakes. Going out will mean death."

"I know. I won't joke with my life."

So Cheng Feng drew a map for Huang Chenming based on his memory, "It's probably correct, but I can't guarantee that every place is correct."

Chen Ming looked at the map and asked Cheng Feng, "After walking for so many days, how can you remember the terrain and draw it?"

"I have been chasing prey in the deep mountains and old forests since I was a child. I never get lost even in the dark. Besides, I have walked this road before, so I should be right."

Huang Chenming smiled and stuffed the map into his arms, "I'll go back and study it."

"You can do research, but you can't sneak around on your own. That could get you killed."

"I know. I'm not a reckless person."

Cheng Feng had been drinking and was already sleepy. As soon as Huang Chenming left, he went to bed, hugged Cheng Youning and fell asleep.

Huang Chenming sat in the room and didn't dare to fall asleep. He always felt that there was something in the room watching him. He was not a person who would be bullied. He took out his sword and began to check the room. In fact, the room was not big. Apart from a bed, a table and two chairs, there was only a chest of drawers. Nothing else could be found.

He used his scabbard to lift the quilt, and a snake jumped out. Without thinking, he cut the snake in half with a single blow. It had a triangular head. Generally, snakes with this shape of head are poisonous. If bitten by this snake, he would be paralyzed to death by the venom before he could call for help.

Huang Chenming's heart sank. There were many snakes here, but he didn't believe that it was such a coincidence that a poisonous snake entered his room. There was snake-repellent grass planted outside the camp, and cement was sprinkled in front of and behind the houses. Snakes should not be able to come in easily. This was definitely man-made.

Huang Chenming thought that a snake had been sent to him on the first night, and he might not be able to stay here for a few days. It was better to die on the road than to be poisoned by a snake like this. So Huang Chenming made up his mind and decided to take two horses and leave at four o'clock in the morning. He had the map given to him by Cheng Feng, and he thought it was better to try his luck than to sit and wait for death.

It was not until dawn that everyone realized he was missing.

Wan Lianxing came to them to ask for the person, "You have such a big camp, and one person went out, and you don't even know where he went. How did you guard it?"

Sui Xin said, "My Lord, this man went to the stable at four o'clock in the morning and took two horses away. Let him go if we want him to. No matter what his purpose is, he can't leave this Broken Road Forest. Going out is nothing but committing suicide."

"Why did he leave? There must be a reason. Chen Ming is not a reckless person. He would not just leave without saying a word. What did you do to him?"
