After lunch, Song Chen went to rest for a while, and Cang Xiuxuan also took a rest with her.
Let her regain her energy and go for a walk around in the afternoon.
He hasn't been here for a long time, maybe there will be some surprises.
He didn't know whether it was because he was too tired from going up the mountain, or because he really liked the environment here. Song Chen slept for an hour and a half before waking up. After all, it was still April, and the weather had already warmed up, but sooner or later
The temperature difference is quite big, especially in the mountains, where it gets cooler again.
Song Chen felt the change in temperature when she got up, but before she could call someone, the door was pushed open, and it was her cloak hanging on Cang Xiuxuan's arm.
"I was still thinking about when you would wake up. We promised to go out to play, but all the time was spent sleeping."
Cang Xiuxuan walked towards her while teasing her. Song Chen also lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on his outer clothes, and then waited for Cang Xiuxuan to come over.
He naturally helped her put on her cloak, and then after she finished rinsing her mouth, the two of them walked outside.
"Originally I wanted to take you farther away, but now it seems I can only wander around here."
At first he thought it would be enough for her to sleep for at most half an hour, but when the time was almost up and seeing her sleeping so soundly, Cang Xiuxuan couldn't bear to wake her up.
As a result, this unbearable feeling was enough to make her sleep for an extra hour.
Song Chen didn't intend to just wander around like this, "Let's just move forward. Wherever we go, we'll take care of ourselves."
She hasn't forgotten that she has other things to do besides playing when she goes up the mountain this time.
When she said this, Cang Xiuxuan didn't raise any objections. Anyway, her big white tiger was in the space, so she didn't have to worry about being attacked by any wild beasts.
He turned around and told Cang Liu, "Prepare some torches to take with you."
Cangliu nodded quickly, "Yes, Master, I will go right now."
Still without anyone, Cang Xiuxuan and Song Chen walked in front, Cang Liu and Qiu An followed behind, and Wen Ping stayed in the house to prepare dinner.
Although looking at the current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for them to come back in time for dinner.
However, Wen Ping is not very worried about this. Whether it is the prince or the princess or Cang Liu Qiu'an, their wilderness survival skills are quite powerful, and there will definitely be no problems.
She simply prepared some midnight snacks.
Over there, Song Chen and the others had already entered the mountain. For them, this was really an adventure process. Although the mountain was no longer dangerous to them, several people still seemed particularly excited after entering the mountain.
Especially Song Chen, it seemed like she was walking aimlessly, but the general direction never changed.
Cang Xiuxuan also discovered this situation while walking. He followed Song Chen and looked sideways at her. Suddenly he remembered what she said before.
make money?
Did she find something else on this mountain? Otherwise, why would she suddenly say such a thing?
But since she refused to say it now, he wouldn't ask for the time being and waited for where she wanted to take him.
The two people behind them also noticed something was wrong. It seemed that they were still not as sharp as the prince. They only knew that the princess's route did not seem so chaotic at this moment, but more like she was walking with purpose.
The sky above them gradually darkened, and when I looked back, I saw that they had gone far away, and the previous houses were far behind them.
Cang Xiuxuan couldn't help it anymore. Although he didn't feel anything along the way, he was afraid that Song Chen wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Chen'er, let's go here today first? Can we go to other places tomorrow?"
It is a lie to say that he is not tired. Song Chen really wants to hide in the space and take a nap first. If he had known this, he would not have brought Cang Liu and Qiu An out.
When I looked at the map, I felt that it wasn't that far away, and I might even have reached it if I took another route. However, when I turned around on this mountain, it seemed to be several times further away.
damn it!
It's nothing to do with mysteries, I got myself into it.
But now they have walked so far, and if she is asked to walk back and continue walking tomorrow, how did Cang Xiuxuan come up with such a loss?
"Let's go ahead, it's still early."
Several times, Song Chen wanted to tell her what was on her mind, but she had reached this point. It felt like she was losing blood just to speak out, so she could only grit her teeth and move on.
Fortunately, the sky was getting dark, and Cang Liu and Qiu An were about to start preparing torches.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cang Xiuxuan leaned into Song Chen's ear and said, "Hurry up and drink some spring water to relieve your fatigue."
Song Chen also turned around and glanced at the person who was concentrating on preparing a torch to beat the two people. He took the kettle from Cang Xiuxuan's waist and poured some spiritual spring water into it. Song Chen took a big sip before passing it to Cang Xiuxuan.
"You drink some too."
Cang Xiuxuan didn't feel much, but when she handed it over, he brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
"How long will it take us to reach our destination?"
After taking the kettle and putting it on himself, Cang Xiuxuan asked Song Chen with a smile.
His question was very clear. He had already guessed that she was not just wandering around, but moving forward with a purpose.
She simply stopped pretending and pointed to another mountain in the distance, "The map says you can reach it just by climbing over this mountain."
"What's on the other side of the mountain?"
Cang Xiuxuan was really curious about this. He wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain that was worthy of her efforts.
Based on my understanding of her, if she is willing to go through such trouble, it must be something absolutely worth it.
But he thought he was very familiar with this area, and there was no such place or thing in his memory that could be worthy of her.
Although his purpose was exposed, Song Chen still didn't want to tell him what it was specifically about now.
"Didn't you already know something when you went there? It's not a surprise to tell you now."
Cang Xiuxuan seemed to have expected these words, so he had no choice but to shut up and stop asking any more questions.
However, we can continue to talk about other topics, "I heard that 'Xiaoyao' made a lot of money a few days ago. It seems that it was all earned in the stone gambling den. I don't know when people in Beijing started to make money."
I love gambling on stones."
Cang Xiuxuan has never been interested in gambling, and he especially feels uneasy about something that can be obtained through gambling.
Song Chen was stunned when he heard what he said. He obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly mention gambling on stones, and judging from his tone, it seemed that he was very disapproving.
If she told him now that the Tongxin Lock and the jade pendant ring he was wearing were all obtained by betting on stones, she didn't know what his expression would be like...
“Do you recognize the owner behind ‘Xiaoyao’?”
Speaking of Xiaoyao, Song Chen was also a little surprised. Generally speaking, the owners behind such a gold-selling cave were either princes, nobles, or people with great power.
She even doubted at the beginning whether that place belonged to Cang Xiuxuan.
But after walking around in the stone gambling den, she realized that she was just thinking wildly.
Ever since, she became curious about the owner behind 'Xiaoyao'.
What kind of person can he create a place like this and make a lot of money every day?
When she didn't ask before, she felt that she was just out of curiosity and it wasn't worth her time. Now that it was mentioned here, she asked out her curiosity.
But this question stumped Cang Xiuxuan, "I don't know either. It is said that the owner behind 'Xiaoyao' has never appeared in front of the world."
"Never?"
Song Chen couldn't believe that there were things in this world that Cang Xiuxuan didn't know about.
A boss who has never appeared in front of others, what can make him be so mysterious?
Why does Song Chen feel that there should be a big boss behind this?
"Aren't you curious?
With Cang Xiuxuan's power, it is not difficult to figure out the owner behind it, but he has never investigated it.
Facing Song Chen's question, Cang Xiuxuan nodded very honestly, "I'm not too curious. They can't threaten me."
If Xiaoyao posed a threat to him, then he would naturally make it clear about the matter, but the current situation is that Xiaoyao is making money, which does not pose any threat to him, and it is also within his control.
Why should he spend all that time investigating who is the owner behind it?
This can be said to be quite arrogant, but it is indeed the case.
However, Song Chen likes challenges. She feels that when she asks Xiaoyao's boss to show up in person in the future, it will be a very fulfilling thing.
He looked up at the sky and said, "It won't rain in the next few days. We probably won't go back tonight. Qiu An, please send a message to Wen Ping."
There are signals transmitted between them. When they see the signals, they know that the other person is safe and will not worry too much.
Upon hearing this, Qiu An took out a signal and shot it into the sky. In fact, this signal was not much different from fireworks. The difference between them was that blue fireworks were safe and red fireworks were dangerous.
If you see blue fireworks, you don’t need to do anything. But if you see red fireworks, you should immediately rush to the place where the signal was sent to organize a rescue.
Qiu An set off blue fireworks. Seeing this color, Wen Ping knew that they would not be back tonight, so she quickly went to bed alone.
If she had known this, she would have followed.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the four of them walked in the mountains and forests, and occasionally heard the sounds of wild beasts, which soon turned into whimpers.
Because Song Chen had already released the big white tiger before when Cang Liu and Qiu An were not paying attention and Cang Xiuxuan was protecting them.
At this moment, he is protecting them from a distance or a distance.
With its deterrence, no animal on this mountain dares to make a mistake.
This is the absolute suppression of the animal world. Song Chen thinks this phenomenon is really interesting. If this were the case in the past, those beasts would have pounced on him long ago. Now they are so well-behaved.
