Will you die if you don't act cute every day?

Cheng Si and Ji Xi got into the kayak.Cheng Si pressed his fingers hard on the outer edge of the kayak, sipped his mouth, "Tsk tsk, the quality of this kayak is really good, do you think we are like pork on the chopping board now, waiting for someone to come in at any time?" Cut us a knife?"

Ji Xi took the hook line on the kayak aside, bent down and pulled the plug cover on the engine, then turned the steering wheel and said with a smile: "no, no, no, I have never liked pork, this kayak It is a powerful turbo kayak exported by country M in 2010, usually only the military can get it, do you know how much it is worth? It costs 500 million dollars just for this one.”

Cheng Si couldn't help whistling, "Wow, it's so expensive, I probably wouldn't be able to sell a hundred of them, no, no, it should be a thousand."

Ji Xi pulled the handbrake on the right, turned to look at her indifferently, "100 kayaks are not worth your value. I'm about to start, sit down."

Cheng Si: "Are you trying to comfort me? I... Hey, don't drive so fast." The kayak swished out, and the inertia forced her to slam onto the boat. The huge impact seemed to overwhelm her. Her heart left her chest, and the world in front of her eyes and around her became blurred dots, and she couldn't see anything clearly.The wind whizzed past his ears, his hair curled up in the air and covered his face, and only the roar of the engine remained in his ears.

"Hey, hey, slow down, Ji! Did you drink Red Bull?!" Cheng Si had to roar out hoarsely. She looked up at the figure in front of her, with bloodshot eyes covering most of her eyes.

Ji Xi calmly manipulated the direction, she turned her head, the wind blew her hair, and scratched Cheng Si's cheeks, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly at this moment, the corners of her mouth were curved more than Chen Dew The rose in the picture is still beautiful, "Cheng Si, do you know that this is the first time I drive a kayak, so wanton, I am very happy."

Cheng Si nodded, spat out the strands of hair that flew into his mouth, and said, "I know, I know... No, you drove so fast for the first time? Come on, stop, vomit..." There was a sudden churn in his stomach , she made a vomiting motion.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ji Xi quickly slowed down and parked the kayak in the center of the lake. She stood up from the driver's seat and walked to Cheng Si's side, helped her up from the ground with her arms, and asked, "It's okay." Right? I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to react so much."

There was another churning in the stomach, Cheng Si pushed her away, and threw herself to the side of the rubber boat, her throat twitched, "Ugh..." The next second, white things were vomited into the water.

Ji Xi frowned and came over to squat beside her, stroked her back to help her feel better, and said apologetically, "Cheng Si, are you okay...Sorry...I, I really don't know, I always thought you were... "

Cheng Si raised one hand and waved to indicate that she was fine, then rolled his eyelids and looked at her weakly, "You...what do you think I am?"

Ji Xi coughed in a low voice, pointed nearby and said suddenly, "Oh, we seem to have lost our way, but it's okay, I remember the speed I was driving just now, and I have been driving in a straight line, so we will definitely find our way back."

"Don't change the subject..." Cheng Si stretched out his hand and wiped his mouth with some water from the lake beside him.

Seeing that there was no way to change the subject, Ji Xi had no choice but to look at her expressionlessly again, and said flatly, "Well, I always thought you were a King Kong Barbie, the kind that the five poisons do not invade."

"King Kong Barbie? Haha." Cheng Si raised her hand, pointed to the slightly protruding muscles and said, "Are you sure? Then you think too highly of me, I'm very weak." She put her arms around her chest, her body comfortably Leaning on the boat, "Ji Xi, you seem very excited today? You used to be very cold."

Ji Xi blinked and said, "Well, it's so easy for the first time. In the past, I had to follow the rules in the family, and every action I made had standards. Do you know the dining rules of European nobles in the Middle Ages?"

She shrugged and leaned back on the steering wheel. "That's pretty much what I do at home."

Cheng Si laughed, eyes narrowed. Although he tried his best to suppress his laughter, his voice still echoed on the quiet lake, "I express my deepest sympathy."

Ji Xi straightened her hair that was blown by the wind, walked to Cheng Si and leaned on the kayak side by side with her, "It seems that I haven't finished talking about my family affairs last time."

Cheng Si stared at her face for a while, saw that there was no sad expression on it, and then whispered: "Well, actually, you don't have to tell me, if it's inconvenient, I won't force it. "

Ji Xi smiled, and Cheng Si's appearance was reflected in the dark pupils, "Should I praise you for being considerate? But it's nothing, I never gave up on the investigation of Nan, and I didn't find anything at first, But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, by accident, I found out that Nan has something to do with the old man."

Cheng Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, "Don't tell me that Nan... is your grandpa's...cough cough...woman?"

Ji Xi: "No, the old man lost that function because of an accident more than 20 years ago. Nan was secretly brought back by the old man more than 20 years ago, from a village in the north. I went to check that place personally. , there is no one there, only some old buildings remain there. That place is probably here now."

"Here, God, are you kidding me?" Cheng Si looked around with a serious face, pointing his finger down, "This place is all lakes, take a closer look, the nearest landing point nearby is only trees, and obviously there are no buildings Traces of existence, besides, it has been more than 20 years, how could there be traces left behind. Don't tell me, your plan from the beginning was to go there, and we still have to complete the task!"

Ji Xi put one hand on her shoulder, nodded and said in a low voice: "Don't get excited, I have a reason for saying this. I have been to this place before, and it took me a lot of time to find that village. Everything about it is engraved in my mind, I swear, there must be something hidden in that village, shall we go again?"

Cheng Si closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then looked at her again and said, "Even if I don't go, you will go?"

Ji Xi thought for a while, then nodded seriously, "That's right."

Cheng Si raised his hands and pushed on her shoulders, then pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's go."

Ji Xi bent his eyes and responded.After restarting the motor, it leaned towards the shore.

Cheng Si supported the boat, went to the steering wheel and picked up the anchor, and when the kayak was less than 20 meters away from the shore, she said, "It's almost there, turn off the motor first, and wait until the water flows. It will push the kayak a little bit forward.”

Ji Xi turned off the motor, and Cheng Si threw the anchor into the water. The rope connecting the anchor head was getting shorter and shorter in her hand. She shook the rope and tried her best to make the anchor head stuck among the rocks at the bottom of the river.

"Squeak." The kayak stopped on the river bed beside the bank, Cheng Si stepped off the kayak, put both hands on the kayak and pushed it, but the kayak remained motionless.

"Okay, come down." She clapped her hands and said to Ji Xi.

Ji Xi jumped down and stood next to her, looking around, weeds were overgrown everywhere, tall trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, the trunk was dark black, covered with white spots like age spots on the old man's face.There is a faint smog in the depths of the jungle, the light inside is very poor, and the crisp sounds of various birds are heard.

She pointed to the front left and turned sideways to let Cheng Si see, "Look, there is the mark I made at the beginning. Let's go in this direction later."

Cheng Si squinted her eyes in the direction she pointed, and there was a scar on the black and white tree. Suddenly, she seemed to see the position of the scar change.Blinking and looking again, nothing has changed.

Probably because she was dazzled, she held back the handle of the Miao knife with her right hand, "Let's go."

There are thick dead leaves accumulated on the ground here, and the distance between the surrounding trees is very far, but the canopy is huge, with strong branches and branches criss-crossing, and the light is scattered on the ground in a very layered manner, which looks very strange.They walked very carefully, each landing was extremely light and slow, but even so, the sound of dead leaves being crushed still hovered in the quiet forest.

Cheng Si walked forward with her back bent, her sharp eyes scanning her surroundings vigilantly.I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy in my heart, and that heavy feeling makes her very alert.

Ji Xi walked in a strange way, and the alternating movements of landing and raising his feet were so fast that it was hard to see clearly.The sound of broken leaves under her feet was obviously much softer.

"hiss……"

"Hiss..."

The slight and piercing sound made Cheng Si's scalp explode. She pulled out the Miao Dao on her back with a swipe, and cut a semicircle in the air neatly. A black and white snake with a triangular pointed head was cut off in the middle. .

Cheng Si saw the appearance of the snake clearly, and a row of goosebumps immediately popped up on his arms and back, "Why are there snakes in this place?"

sizzle...

sizzle sizzle...

hiss hiss hiss...

The deafening snake cry instantly enveloped the forest.

Cheng Si and Ji Xi looked at each other, and they both saw something bad in each other's eyes.

The ground under her feet was up and down, and Cheng Si was almost unsteady standing on it, "Is this an earthquake?" She looked at Ji Xi and said hoarsely.

Ji Xi pursed her lips and frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She grabbed Cheng Si's arm and pulled her behind her. A few strands of blue-purple electric current emerged from her slender fingertips.

"Roar... hiss hiss hiss hiss..." Countless intertwined and entangled giant snakes suddenly rushed out of the darkness, Ji Xi spread his palms forward, and a dozen huge blue-purple lightnings fell from the sky, blocking the snakes offensive.

"...When will you use your ability?!" After a brief silence, Cheng Si came to his senses and yelled at Ji Xi.

"Um…"

"The moment the coach gave us a reminder?" Ji Xi replied lightly, "Don't you know it yet?" She stared at Cheng Si suspiciously.

Cheng Si's face was flushed by her foolish gaze, and she thought carefully about what the coach said...

Ten minutes later, Cheng Si walked among the snakes holding a knife...

Ji Xi followed behind, surrounded by blue-purple lightning, and said helplessly, "Why not? It's obviously very simple." She killed all the snakes that approached Cheng Si without a trace.

"Totally misses the point." Cheng Si curled his lips in distress, turned somersault in the air, and landed on a branch beside him.Her right hand was hanging by her side, the tip of Miao Dao rested on the surface of the branch, her face was covered with sweat.

"But it's not without gains. I need an opportunity." There was a gleam in her eyes, and the blade of Miao Dao was soaked in black blood. She flicked the blade vigorously, and the blood was sprinkled on the nearby places.

Jumping down again, the tip of the knife pointed directly at the entangled snake, his eyes were as bright as the moonlight at night, "Don't protect me, let me think for a while." Curling the corners of her lips, she raised her head and handed it to Ji Xi. With a gentle look in his eyes, he lowered his head again to fight the snakes.

Startled by her eyes, Ji Xi withdrew his hands and stood quietly by the side, graceful and beautiful.But there was always a trace of lightning lingering at her fingertips.

Looking at the desperate back in the field, she was dazed, as if something touched her heart.The soft touch is like velvet brushing against the cheeks, causing a slight tremor.

Suddenly, Cheng Si's figure disappeared from the front.

Ji Xi took a sudden step forward, an indescribable fear welled up in her heart, and that fear gripped her heart tightly, causing her brain to be confused for a moment.

The next second, Cheng Si's figure appeared again, she appeared in a completely different place from before, with slightly drooping eyelids, thick eyelashes fluttering up and down slightly, a piercing light suddenly flashed through her pitch-black eyes, and she raised her hand When the knife fell, the group of snakes surrounding her suddenly stagnated in the air, and then fell to the ground in unison, losing their vitality.

There was a bright smile on her face, eyes as bright as thousands of stars staring at her for a moment, trotting all the way to her, her slightly dry mouth moved up and down, the color between her brows was so radiant , "I succeeded, Ji Xi!" There was a little pride in his tone.

Ji Xi's cold eyes fell on her lips, then her eyes moved down and landed on her hands. After a while, she took her hands, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped each of her fingers.

That gentle look reminded Cheng Si, Ji Xi did the same in the basement of the hospital a few days ago, wiping her fingers gently and patiently.

Her heart beat a lot faster, and Ji Xi's name came to her mind more and more clearly.

"Ji Xi, you..."

"Be careful next time, don't get yourself dirty." Ji Xi put away the handkerchief and looked at her with deep eyes.

"Ah... um..." Cheng Si's face was hot, she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Ji Xi's expression, and at the same time, she missed the fleeting smile on Ji Xi's face.

Ji Xi looked at the remaining group of snakes around her again, her deep eyes suddenly became cold and mocking, she swiped her left hand vigorously into the air, and the dark blue grid intertwined with lightning instantly swallowed it up. All snakes.

Ji Xi's right hand was wrapped around Cheng Si's waist, letting her snuggle into his arms, his cold expression softened a bit, "Are you tired?"

"Hmm..." Her relaxed body suddenly felt sore, and the surging exhaustion made her eyelids tremble up and down.

"Then go to sleep." Ji Xi lowered her head, with the tip of her nose resting on her forehead, and there was a bit of tenderness in her eyes.
