Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 704
"That's right!" I smiled.

No matter what Chimei's purpose was back then, 20 years have passed, not everything can change according to his intentions, and many things are estimated to have exceeded his expectations.

The gopher sat on the ground again, drew something with a branch, and muttered something.

I didn't bother him. Although he seems to have calmed down, the hurdle in his heart is not so easy to get over. Sending Chimei to prison should be a highlight in his file as a member of 701. Tell him now This is all intentional by the other party, and it is impossible to bear it if you change someone casually.

So it's good to let him be quiet for a while.

I watched the movement of the stockade with a telescope. The stockade was completely dark, and those who attacked us dispersed quietly after returning to the stockade.

I was shocked when I saw it, and I felt that my previous idea was correct—this village is the stronghold of Chimei and the others!
I couldn't help worrying, if they temporarily controlled the stockade, with the cleverness of Lao Yan and Kumbu, they would definitely be able to find a breakthrough, but it would be difficult if it was their stronghold.

Time passed by, and I saw that Lao Yan and the others had reached the foot of the mountain. They waved their hands at me in a hidden position, made a gesture that everything was going according to plan, and then disappeared from my sight.

Telescopes couldn't find them either...

I let out a sigh of relief and can only hope they are doing well.

"I'm coming, you can rest for a while."

After I told the others about Lao Yan's situation, Miss Qiu proposed to change the guard. I was really tired, so I rubbed my eyes and handed the telescope to Miss Qiu.

She couldn't wait, and I knew why, she was worried about Kumbu.

I looked at Miss Qiu's back and couldn't help but smile, that's great, she will probably be very happy after having Kumbu!

Although Kumbu is a boring gourd, he is very careful. I can feel Kumbu's silent care for Miss Qiu along the way, and sometimes I feel jealous.

"Are you jealous?" Just as I thought about it, the voice of the boy who wanted to be beaten came from the side.

He leaned against the tree wearing sunglasses and didn't speak for a long time. I thought he had fallen asleep. Listening to the sound now, I dare say he has been awake all the time.

I pushed him and whispered back: "Aren't you jealous?"

The boy clicked his tongue twice, saying that he is not good at it. Hou Chengcheng has already confirmed that he will take over Minister Hou's class in the future. There was no stopping on the road.

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "Miss Hou promised you?"

Yazai rubbed his head, I could see that he wanted to say yes, but he didn't say it, and finally sighed: "It's fine now, at least she doesn't reject me being nice to her, then I will Is there hope?"

I don't know what to say, Jingsheng's incident had a great impact on Hou Chengcheng, so much so that when we set off, we heard that Minister Hou was having a headache and didn't know how to comfort Xia Cheng.

Even Hou Chengcheng lost interest in something as important as the Tai Ah Excalibur. You must know that if she wanted to take over from Minister Hou, bringing back the Tai Ah Excalibur would save her from a lot of resistance.

Yazai spread his hands and said that if Jingsheng was still there, he could go to Hou Chengcheng's ear to have a wind, but Jingsheng is gone, so he can't compete with a person who has passed away, can he?
I nodded, knowing that what he said was correct, no matter what in this life, a person can't compete with a dead person, and besides, the existence of Jingsheng is different to Hou Chengcheng.

"Take it easy, Jingsheng is like an older brother to Chengcheng, when she is not so sad, she will definitely accept me." Yazai smiled.

I don't know where he got so much self-confidence, but self-confidence is a good thing.

Then Yazai turned the topic to me again and asked me what I was thinking.

I looked at him with a wry smile, and said, what else can I do, as soon as King Yan Luo left, the fourth girl’s heart might be half dead, this time she went back to 701 without even showing her face, so she must have treated me in the future It's really impossible to meet.

"Don't get discouraged so quickly, the fourth girl is not a heartless person, otherwise King Yama wouldn't be able to live so long, you still have a chance." Yazai comforted me.

But he shook his head while talking, presumably he couldn't convince himself, right?
I patted him on the shoulder and said it's ok, I have my own sense of proportion.

The boy opened his mouth, but he probably couldn't find words to comfort me, and finally closed it again, making me want to laugh.

In fact, I understand the fourth girl's thoughts. It is not difficult for her to accept me, or she can't accept me at all. The little witch is the big witch.

I don't have such a high self-esteem, thinking that in just a few years, the fourth girl will regard me as more important than King Yama.

What's more, the fourth girl took care of me, originally because of the oath.

I like her, what does it have to do with her?

"Chang'an!"

I was comforting myself in my heart when suddenly Miss Qiu called out.

I quickly raised my head, and saw that her eyes were still looking at the village through the binoculars, but her hand was beckoning at me. I jumped up and went to her side to ask what's wrong?
Miss Qiu handed me the binoculars, her tone was a little nervous: "Look at the northwest corner, is there a fire there?"

Firelight?

I took the binoculars and looked in the direction Miss Qiu said, and saw that there was indeed some fire-like light in the northwest corner of the village, but it was too small and flickering, making it impossible to make a judgment.

I shook my head: "Not sure, sister Qiu, what's wrong?"

Even Miss Huoguangqiu's reaction shouldn't be that big. Chimei and the others are in the village now, so it's normal to make a little fire.

Miss Qiu looked weird, took a telescope and looked carefully, and said that she just felt that the light was very similar to the cold light from the signal flare, and she was worried that it was Lao Yan and the others who were blocked when they sent the signal flare.

Hearing what she said, I also became nervous, and hurriedly moved to the telescope to watch carefully. After a long while, I shook my head: "No."

Ms. Qiu asked me why I was so sure, I smiled and said not sure, I believed in Laoyan and Kumbu.

Even if they couldn't complete the task of monitoring, or were even caught by Chimei and others, it was impossible for them to fail even to send the signal flare.

"Sister Qiu, Chimei is just an opponent, not a god!" I smiled.

Ms. Qiu still looked worried, and I stopped trying to persuade her. In fact, my heart was a little beating, and I didn't know what to do. If it was really Lao Yan and the others who missed a move, how should I deal with it?
I leaned in front of the telescope and carefully looked at the flame, my heart beating non-stop.

No, why is the fire still there?

I immediately pulled Miss Qiu to let her pay attention to whether the fire was always on and off. Miss Qiu took a look and said it seemed to be the case.

I suddenly laughed: "Chimei is quite capable. This is why he is setting up doubts. He probably hasn't let go of the previous two attacks, and now he is coming again."

Even if Lao Yan and his team failed to send out the signal, it is impossible to light it for more than 1 minute, but Miss Qiu and I have been chatting for so long, and the fire has not been seen to go out.

Miss Qiu slapped her thigh: "Indeed, in Chang'an, you should watch carefully."

I jokingly said with a smile: "Don't you care about it and make chaos!"

Ms. Qiu glared at me, but didn't refute it. I smiled, which is an admission. It seems that she still cares about Kumbu very much.

The next time was difficult, and there was less than an hour before dawn, and they had to rush back before dawn, and it would take some time to go up the mountain, so they could not stay in the village for more than 10 minutes.

If you can't succeed during this period, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to monitor in the future.

It is impossible for Chimei not to see any clues.

I looked through the telescope, then at the gradually whitening sky, and gradually became anxious.

It's good news that Lao Yan didn't send out a signal flare, but the expected return time is getting closer and closer, why is there no movement at the foot of the mountain?
