The two left the place quickly. They didn't know that soon after they left, the place became a paradise for countless poisons. However, this was an unknown secret to them, and even if they knew it, they could do nothing about it.

They continued to move forward. As the journey progressed, He Yuzhu used his knowledge of herbs to continuously collect rare plants along the way. Chen Xueru sighed: "You really know a lot of knowledge. If I hadn't followed you, I really wouldn't know that the world is so big and the ocean of knowledge is so deep."

He Yuzhu thought, if it weren't for the help of the golden finger, how could he know so much knowledge? However, he did not say these words in his heart, but turned to Chen Xueru and said:

"Okay, let's go out. We can take a nice bath when we get to the city!"

Chen Xueru nodded and tried clumsily to identify the direction according to He Yuzhu's method.

When He Yuzhu discovered that she had gone in the wrong direction, he corrected her immediately.

Soon after, the two walked out of the dense forest and saw the bright sunlight. However, this was still a primeval forest, just not as dense as before. The light now shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

The jungle in front blocked all vision, even the sun in the sky could not be seen.

This reflects how lush and crowded the trees are there.

After determining the direction, the two began walking towards the edge of the forest.

They continued to rush outward, and the forest gradually became sparse.

A few hours later, the two finally saw signs of human habitation in the distance.

I haven't seen anyone in the past half month. When I saw a village in the distance, Chen Xueru shouted happily to He Yuzhu:

"Husband, we finally found a village!"

He Yuzhu nodded gently:

"Yes, let's go and take a look. Ask where this place is. Tomorrow we will go to the nearest town to sort it out.

Then go back again.”

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this. Although she had not communicated with anyone in the past half month, she had witnessed many things she had never seen in her life: tigers and leopards attacking people, wolves surrounding them, poisonous insects everywhere, and all kinds of strange animals and plants.

They arrived at the village and were immediately noticed by the locals. Although they were both elegant, they were in a rather shabby state due to life in the forest - Chen Xueru was covered in dirt and fluids from unknown plants, while He Yuzhu had an untidy beard and was covered in dust.

At this time, a local resident came forward and asked: "Where are you two from?"

He Yuzhu responded:

"Hello, she and I are from Beijing. We were investigating the primeval forest over there, but unfortunately we got lost. We wandered in there for more than half a month and just found the exit. Excuse me, where are we now?"

The other party obviously did not believe He Yuzhu's explanation:

"Who would believe you? Don't say you're a good storyteller. Tell the truth, or you'll be in big trouble!" He Yuzhu then showed his letter of introduction:

"This is my ID, with the seal of my institution on it!"

Then, he handed the man a letter of introduction that he had carefully prepared earlier. The man took the letter and looked over it again and again.

Finally, He Yuzhu said patiently:

"Well, you see I didn't lie, did I? I am indeed from Beijing, and I have been out of touch for work reasons." However, the man still did not slack off and asked loudly:

"Don't try to deceive! Wait until our clerk arrives and we'll know for sure!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask:

"What? Isn't it clearly written in the document?" The man replied firmly:

"Even if I am illiterate, should I believe your lies?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru were both stunned. The man just looked so intently that they both thought he could read! Moreover, He Yuzhu almost couldn't help laughing out loud - this man could actually say that he couldn't read so proudly, he was really a character.

Out of curiosity, Chen Xueru asked, "Comrade, you don't understand the words, but you are reading so attentively, why is that?"

As a woman, her tone was relatively gentle, although the man was still a little embarrassed: "I just have never seen a letter of introduction, so I want to see what it looks like."

The two were speechless and had to wait for someone to come and find the accountant to solve the problem. Not long after, the person who left earlier attracted a new face: "These are the two of you, Accountant Wang, here are their letters of introduction!"

Looking at the person in front of him, Accountant Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Captain Gu, can't you just study hard? You are the captain of the Xiaoyang Village Joint Defense Team. It's not appropriate to always bother me, right?"

It turned out that the illiterate man was the captain of the joint defense team of Xiaoyang Village, Captain Gu. Captain Gu scratched his head and said helplessly: "Accountant Wang, I want to do it too, but I fall asleep as soon as I read, and I can't remember it... There is really nothing I can do."

After listening to Captain Gu's words, Accountant Wang said no more, but took the introduction letter from the two and read it carefully. Seeing that the letter did indicate the identities of He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Hello, leaders. I am the accountant of Xiaoyang Village. I didn't expect that you two would visit our Xiaoyang Village!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Hello, Accountant Wang, my name is He Yuzhu, and this is my colleague Chen Xueru. Actually, we are just lost and want to know where we are so that we can continue on our way."

Accountant Wang was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he said, "In that case, I will show you the way right away! I will send someone to take you to the nearest town."

He Yuzhu nodded to express his gratitude: "Then I'll have to trouble Accountant Wang!"

Accountant Wang quickly replied, "No, no, no! It's no trouble at all." At the same time, he said to Captain Gu, "Captain Gu, please arrange for someone to escort the two leaders to the town."

Captain Gu looked at the two guests who looked distressed, and he was suspicious: "Are these people really from the capital? Why are they more distressed than the comrades from the province I met before?"

Accountant Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If you were trapped in this dense forest for a few days, you might not be as good as them. The last person got lost in the primeval forest. You also stayed in there for more than a week last time, and you came out like a beggar. When you think about this, the matter becomes clear."

"Ha! I really forgot about this. I only stayed in the forest for a week, and I was in a mess when I came out. Got it, Lei Zi, go arrange to send these two leaders back to town!" Lei Zi took action immediately: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Finally, thanks to the help of the villagers of Xiaoyang Village, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru successfully arrived at a small guesthouse in the town and asked the front desk staff if there was a place to bathe: "Hello, comrade, is there a bathhouse or a place to bathe here?"
