My host is cold and scumbag

Chapter 85: The Tomb is Heavy and the Alley is Deep

He Chengwu and his team rested in this place for too long, and a series of unexpected events affected their subsequent judgment.

Huang Yan's entire army was annihilated tragically. It seemed that only a dying figure of Xu Kun's men was left lying not far away, and Zhao Xinyun...

Zhao Xinyun was unwilling to communicate and unwilling to move. He Chengwu originally wanted to not stay in one place for too long, but he obviously couldn't abandon Zhao Xinyun in such a mood.

He Chengwu's behavior was also very strange. He placed food and drinks next to Zhao Xinyun. In people's subconscious, if they stay in a closed and dark place for a long time, the presence of food will make them feel safe.

He Chengwu's behavior was really puzzling. Not only did he carefully place a variety of food next to Zhao Xinyu, he also deliberately selected the best things available.

Deep in the human subconscious, the need for food often goes beyond the simple physiological level. Especially in such a dark environment, the passage of time becomes blurred, and every moment is full of uncertainty and fear. The existence of food allows people to find a sense of comfort and security in despair.

He Chengwu didn't know how to comfort Zhao Xinyu, so he could only build a small safe haven for her in his own way, hoping that she could feel a little human warmth and care in such an environment.

But Zhao Xinyu seemed very tired. He Chengwu spoke to him several times but there was no response. Many people looked at He Chengwu worriedly. He Chengwu felt a little discouraged and lost.

They gathered together, gathered together, and cooked the noodles they brought. The noodles were broken into pieces like rice grains because of the running all the way. He looked at Zhao Xinyun, but he lowered his eyes and remained silent, helpless.

Finally he packed some food into a lunch box and stood up.

Yang Qiu stood up suddenly: "Brother Xiaowu, where are you going?"

A suspicious look was cast on He Chengwu. He Chengwu just paused for a moment and met Yang Qiu's gaze: "Half an hour. If I haven't come back in half an hour, you can come find me, okay?"

Yang Qiu looked determined: "No."

He Chengwu pursed his lips: "Then twenty minutes."

Yang Qiu approached and shook her head. She raised her eyes and looked at He Chengwu: "Brother Xiaowu, I'm here to look after you."

He Chengwu felt inexplicably flustered when he heard this. He didn't know why Yang Qiu kept saying that she was here to watch over him, but he thought that he had not done anything out of line, except towards Zhao Xinyu.

He Chengwu pleaded: "I'll just leave for a while, I'll think of a solution, okay?"

Yang Qiu bit her lip, and He Chengwu once again whispered his assurance: "Really, I'll be back soon."

Yang Qiu stopped talking. He Chengwu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and left. He walked towards the corridor he came from. In fact, he didn't walk very far. It seemed that the man in the black hat was always nearby. He Chengwu quickened his pace a lot. He stood next to the man in the black hat and turned his face to the side.

He Chengwu held a lunch box in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He was afraid of upsetting the man in the black hat, so he shone the flashlight on the ground. He Chengwu moved his Adam's apple nervously: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something hot?"

He Chengwu handed over the lunch box. Black Hat's eyes fell on it. She didn't say anything, but took it. She walked to the corner and sat down. There were some noises. He Chengwu carefully adjusted the lights. He didn't have the capital to provoke Black Hat now, and he needed her help.

Black Hat ate very quietly. He Chengwu approached cautiously and sat next to Black Hat. The relationship between the two of them was very strange, but He Chengwu still noticed that Black Hat was somewhat indulgent towards him.

"Is there any misunderstanding between you and her?" He Chengwu went straight to the point. Black Hat seemed not to hear him and kept eating without any change. He Chengwu carefully organized his words: "Can you... can you tell me what you need to do to avoid attacking her?"

"Do you care about this?" The man in the black hat's voice was always very deep. He Chengwu heard it and hesitated to speak. He felt that he should not speak at this time to anger her, but he could not just say nothing.

"I just think...she wouldn't do anything that would make you...harsh..."

Black Hat seemed to have heard a joke. People are strange. They will believe what they think, even if Zhao Xinyu didn't do anything to make her take action against her.

But the point of this sentence is.

She's going to be ruthless.

It may not necessarily be something the other person did, it may also be something she can't stand.

The man in the black hat swallowed the food in his mouth and said calmly: "Who are you to her, or who are you to me? In what capacity do you come to be a lobbyist?"

This question was also the most embarrassing one for He Chengwu at this time. He had no identity, and in the eyes of others, he did not get any benefit at all, but was willing to do these things like a fool. It was a bit stupid, and a bit not worth it.

But as the person involved, He Chengwu couldn't do anything and felt that he would regret it if he didn't do something.

I have to explain why I am here to be a lobbyist.

That is, Black Hat gave him the opportunity to sit next to her and talk, which made him feel as if he had given it a try himself. Whether it succeeded or not, there would always be a bottom line.

If Black Hat doesn't let Zhao Xinyun go, then he will definitely protect her. So when he goes back, he can be mentally prepared. If Black Hat lets her go, he will naturally tell her her conditions.

But He Chengwu never thought that Black Hat might not let him go.

Even at this moment, Black Hat really didn't seem to intend to do anything to him.

Black Hat finished his meal and spoke slowly in He Chengwu's silence: "You made a deal with me for others. Have you ever thought that maybe I can help you and make her treat you differently?"

As soon as the words fell, He Chengwu's body was stiff, and even his fingertips were trembling. He didn't dare to think about the tempting words of the black hat. He stood up almost in a panic, and the black hat stood up soon after. The silhouette of the figure pressed down, and snorted and laughed: "You are the most patient man I have ever seen."

He Chengwu looked up and could only see a shadow. His breathing was disordered, but he suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"That wishing tree in the middle of the village where we started out, is it yours?"

Black Hat said nothing, but didn't refute either.

He Chengwu didn't know where he got the courage from, and continued to ask: "They said that tree is very spiritual, so have you seen my wish card?"

"Your tree."

“Does it work?”
