Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

The four of them returned to the shack together. Qin Yuchen was still leaning on Wu Xie, lazily watching Lao Itch take out the things in his arms and wipe them.

Zhang Qiling frowned and pulled Tan Yuchen over. Tan Yuchen took advantage of the situation and moved to another person to lean on without much thought. He just glanced at them innocently and doubtfully:

"Can you speak now?"

"I...I came here this time, in addition to fishing for treasures, I also...have...another purpose." Lao Itchy said while wiping.

"Purpose? The purpose of digging out a stick?" Wuxie said sarcastically.

Lao Itch didn't reply. Only then did Wu Xie realize that Lao Itch was still wearing gloves on his hands and was wiping them carefully, as if he was a little afraid of these things.

Lao Itch wiped the dirt clean in silence, then held the stick in his hand and looked back and forth. Wuxie leaned over and took a closer look. The stick had a metallic luster and should be made of copper. Wuxie was about to reach out and touch it, but Lao Itch dodged it: "No, you can't touch it."

Wuxie was frightened by Lao Itch's appearance. He was a little angry: "I'll go, Lao Itch, what do you mean? Isn't this just a stick? You don't want me to touch it?"

"No, it's not that I won't let you touch it. You can't touch this thing casually." Lao Itch stuffed the stick into his backpack and put it away. He pulled Wu Xie over and let Wu Xie sit down before saying slowly, "It's a long story... …”

"Do you still remember the old cousin I told you about?" Lao Itch asked.

Innocent nodded.

Lao Itch threw a piece of firewood into the pit and continued: "My old cousin dug this stick out of a tomb..."

Lao Itch stared at the fire and talked for a long time, detailing everything from how happy his old cousin was to get this thing to how his old cousin became insane.

Wuxie's back felt cold after hearing this. He couldn't believe that such an ordinary stick could drive someone crazy.

The story of Lao Itch continues, and some problems will arise from time to time in Wu Xie. Tan Yuchen leaned against Zhang Qiling's shoulder and yawned, looking at the board above his head with some boredom. Zhang Qiling came out of his daze, noticed Tan Yuchen's movements, and patted Tan Yuchen's hand on his leg to let him rest.

Tan Yuchen blinked and looked sideways at Zhang Qiling. He nodded after the man in front of him cast a doubtful look, then found a comfortable position to lean on his head and close his eyes.

They were sitting in a corner not far from the fire. Both Wu Xie and Lao Chu were talking seriously, so no one noticed that the two people in the corner had fallen asleep...

……

At noon the next day, Qin Yuchen stood by a small river and watched Zhang Qiling handle the fish in his hand.

This fish was caught by Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling when they discovered the river. Zhang Qiling's hair mound finger is very easy to use. He can catch fish even in deep water. His movements are fast and accurate, and he catches several fish in a short time.

Tan Yuchen nodded with satisfaction, thinking that after eating dry food for several days, he could finally eat something fresh today.

Zhang Qiling handed the cleaned fish to Tan Yuchen, and Tan Yuchen used the branches prepared in advance to string the fish together, and then gave it to Wu Xie and Lao Chu.

"Lao Wu, are we joining them from behind?" Lao Chi looked at the two people cleaning the fish not far away and asked.

"Yeah." Wuxie turned the fish over, "They are both my friends, we will be fine together."

"What's wrong?" Wuxie asked, noticing that Lao Itch's face was not good.

Lao Itch quickly shook his head to hide his emotions: "No, as long as it's someone who believes in it."

Wu Xie frowned in confusion when he saw Lao Itch hesitated to speak. He had felt that Lao Itch was weird since last night, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. When the word "sense of disobedience" appeared on Lao Itch, he was still confused. He was stunned for a moment.

Wuxie turned the fish in his hand again. He wanted to ask, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him not to get to the bottom of it, otherwise the result would not be what he wanted.

Tan Yuchen waited for Zhang Qiling to wash his hands before leading the people back to Wuxie's side.

When he came back, he found that the atmosphere between the two people was a bit subtle. Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly and pulled Zhang Qiling to sit opposite them.

Tan Yuchen took the two fish from Wu Xie and handed one to Zhang Qiling, and then carefully taught people how to grill it. Neither he nor Zhang Qiling were the kind of nosy people, so Tan Yuchen just glanced at Wu Xie without intending to say anything.

There were no ready-made seasonings in the wild, so Qin Yuchen just asked Zhang Qiling to pay attention to the distance and keep flipping:

"If you want to learn when you get back, I will teach you slowly."

Zhang Qiling did as Qin Yuchen said, nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Zhang Qiling got started quickly. Tan Yuchen watched for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he went about grilling his own portion.

Now it was Wuxie's turn to stop talking. Wuxie sat across from Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling and watched their interaction. The doubts from last night arose again.

"Um..." Wuxie said tentatively, and he smiled awkwardly when he saw the two people opposite him looking at him at the same time, "I just want to ask Yuchen if this fish of mine can be eaten?"

When Zhang Qiling heard that it was not an important matter, he lowered his head and grilled the fish seriously. Qin Yuchen took it, looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Ah, okay..." Wuxie smiled again, raised the fish in front of him and blew on it, crying in his heart that he couldn't ask the question...
