Chapter 269 Peeking
Chapter 269 Peeking
Soon, Luo Gu took the water and walked in, seeing her staring at a certain direction in the cave with some fear.

"What's the matter, little thing?" He walked over and followed her gaze.

It's just a mountain wall, nothing unusual.

Chi Zhenzhen thought that she really had an illusion, she said: "I felt a peeping gaze just now."

Luo Gu frowned, followed her gaze to look at the mountain wall again, and indeed found nothing unusual.

"I hope I feel wrong." Chi Zhenzhen looked back, and had to be vigilant again.

Luo Gu handed her the water glass, walked to the mountain wall and looked carefully.

Soon, he narrowed his black eyes and found something unusual.

But he said nothing, and turned and sat in front of the fire.

After Chi Zhenzhen drank some water, she looked out of the cave again. She couldn't see the sky at all inside, and she didn't know if it was dark. Fortunately, she had a watch, so she could look at the time to estimate the sky outside.

"Little thing, take a rest when you're tired." Luo Gu glanced at the burning branches in front of him, which wouldn't last until tomorrow morning.

Chi Zhen hummed, probably because she was too vigilant, even though she was tired, she didn't really want to sleep.

After the two sat for a while, Chi Zhenzhen found that Luo Gu's face was getting tired, he should be very tired.

"Go to sleep first, I'll watch over you." Chi Zhenzhen said.

"Why are you guarding me? Can't we sleep together?" Luo Gu leaned towards her.

"I can't sleep right now."

"how come."

"Anyway, you sleep first." Chi Zhenzhen gave him his shoulder and let him sleep on it.

Luo Gu chuckled, and instantly changed into a beast-like posture, wrapping her in his arms, whether she slept or not, at least it wouldn't be too cold.
-
Chi Zhenzhen slept in Luo Gu's arms all night, and when he woke up, the fire in the cave had long been extinguished.

If it wasn't for Luo Gu's long hair, she would probably be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

Just after opening her eyes and waking up for a while, Sisi's voice came from outside the cave.

"Are you awake?" Sissy called from outside, "I've brought you branches to make a fire."

"Come in." Luo Gu turned into a human and held Chi Zhenzhen in his arms.

Seeing them like this as soon as Sisi came in, she smiled and asked, "How is it? Did you sleep well last night? Are the black beads I gave you useful?"

As soon as he mentioned the black beads, Chi Zhenzhen's face turned red.

"It's definitely useful." Sissy asked herself and answered, "I didn't hear any noise from your cave last night."

Chi Zhenzhen covered his forehead, and after seeing her put down the branch, he turned around and went out again.

Chi Zhenzhen hurriedly broke away from Luo Gu's embrace and lit a fire.

The fire illuminated the entire cave again, and she glanced at the time on her watch, it was already morning.

Because the fire was burning, and there was still the black bead in the fire, Chi Zhenzhen could speak with confidence: "By the way, are there any pure-blooded people in this mermaid tribe?"

"Of course there is."

"Then why didn't a single purebred person see us after we came in?" Chi Zhenzhen asked suspiciously.

"The mermaid tribe is a small tribe. If there are many purebred people, their number will not be so small." Luo Gu explained to her.

Chi Zhenzhen was stunned: "That is to say, all the people of the mermaid tribe live in this big cave?"

"Ah."

There were indeed fewer people. When I saw this cave yesterday, there were not many. Even if a cave sleeps seven or eight people, the total number of people in the mermaid tribe is no more than a hundred.

Seems like a really small tribe.

But it's just a small part, why would anyone have their idea?

Just when Chi Zhenzhen was thinking seriously, Sisi's voice came in again from outside.

"I've brought you two more big fish." Sisi came in with two big fish in her arms, and a few small fish on her hands, which was even richer than what she ate yesterday. "There are also some small fish, I'm afraid you don't have enough big fish to eat."

"Big fish is actually enough." Chi Zhenzhen said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, these two big fish are different from yesterday's two, you should try it out." Sissy said enthusiastically.

Such enthusiasm made Chi Zhen really puzzled.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.

Of course, seeing Sisi like this, she would not do anything that is either rape or theft, but such a move must be asking for something.

Chi Zhenzhen still took out a knife to remove the scales and viscera of these fish as yesterday, and Sisi was helping to grill the fish.

Sure enough, after baking for a while, Siss opened her mouth on her own initiative.

"Luo Gu, can I ask you for a favor?" Sisi didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"I won't help." However, before he could say anything, Luo Gu refused without emotion.

Sisi gave her a hand, but she didn't expect Luo Gu to refuse so decisively. It was obvious that she didn't want to help no matter what she said.

Seeing Chi Zhenzhen, he really wanted to ask, but he was afraid of ruining Luo Guxiang's plan.

Sissy sighed, but still said: "This favor is just a matter of a few words for you, so you can help me, for the sake of borrowing branches and fishing for you everywhere?"

However, Luo Gu rejected her with silence.

Seeing this, Chi Zhenzhen asked, "Are all these branches borrowed?"

"Yes." Sisi nodded, expressing her very difficult feelings, "Although our mermaid tribe can survive in water and on land, if we leave the water for a long time, we will dry up." and die, so there must be plenty of water where we live."

Chi Zhenzhen nodded and listened to her continue.

"The half-orcs of our mermaid tribe can rely on the scales on their bodies to keep warm on land, but the purebreds of our tribe can't. These burning branches are all for purebreds." Sisi said, "And these branches Most of them are cut from the mountains, and you know what’s going on on the mountains, there’s miasma everywhere, and it’s not easy to cut branches down to live.”

"But we also passed a lot of small forests on the way here." The implication is why we don't cut down trees without miasma.

Sisi shook her head: "That's not acceptable. Even if there are not many pure-blooded people in our mermaid tribe, we can't cut down those trees. Those trees can't grow back after being cut down for a long time, but fortunately, the little elder has a way to get rid of the miasma on the mountain. , but this is only temporary.”

Chi Zhenzhen was stunned, no wonder the little elder said something to help them yesterday.

This also made Chi really curious about how this little elder could get rid of the miasma that was so heavy on the mountain.

After Sisi explained this, she found that the topic had been completely changed, and she hurriedly said, "Luo Gu's spouse, why don't you help me? Tell Luo Gu?"

amount.

Chi Zhenzhen smiled awkwardly, glanced at Luo Gu's face again, and nodded: "Okay, first tell me what you want to help."
