Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan led Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue into the phantom forest, and somewhere in the phantom forest, Li Qinghan was lost and thirsty...
He stopped and sat cross-legged to rest. After drinking the last bit of water he brought with him, Li Qinghan reluctantly dropped the empty sheepskin water bag.
After drinking this little bit of water, a feeling of hunger hit his heart. Li Qinghan swallowed a few times, stood up slowly, and continued to walk forward.
Another hour passed. At this time, Li Qinghan was exhausted, hungry and thirsty.
Having no choice but to stop again, Li Qinghan looked at the gray sky with some despair.
"Perhaps it would not be bad to die in the phantom forest. At least there is no day or night here. It is always gray... It's just that I didn't send the news to Ma Xiaoquan. I am very unwilling..."
Li Qinghan gently closed her eyes and rested her strength. She didn't want to give up, but the deathly silence and grayish whiteness in the phantom forest didn't seem to bring her any hope at all.
"Girl..." Suddenly, a very magnetic male voice came from in front of Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan jumped up in fright, opened his eyes, and pulled out the coiled snake sword from his waist.
"Girl, don't do anything, don't do anything"
Li Qinghan jumped back two steps and took a closer look. A man with short hair was looking at her with a smile.
The man has an average appearance, a medium build, a friendly smile, and no unreasonable look in his eyes. He doesn't look like a bad guy.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man chuckled and sat down, minding his own business: "My name is Zhao Wenguang, and the girl is Li Qinghan, right?"
"You...how did you know it was me?"
"Young girl is so forgetful. I also studied at Zijia Academy."
"You also studied at Zijia Academy?" Li Qinghan was overjoyed, and then said seriously, "You are lying, I have never seen you."
Zhao Wenguang spread his hands innocently and said, "Just because you haven't seen me before doesn't mean I'm not here. I'm too unknown, so Miss Li definitely doesn't know me. Does Miss Li remember..."
Zhao Wenguang described some of the things that happened at Zijia Academy to Li Qinghan, including the plot of Ma Xiaoquan's bet with the three elders and the bet with Zilong.
Listening to Zhao Wenguang's description, Li Qinghan's originally vigilant heart gradually dropped his guard.
"How did you get in?" Li Qinghan asked Zhao Wenguang.
"Haha, the course I chose was medicine. I wanted to go to the back mountain to get some herbal medicine, but I got lost, so I kept walking around. Suddenly my eyesight blurred, and here...here I am.
In a forest, I have been walking around for more than two hours. Miss Li, do you know where this is?"
Li Qinghan said: "This should be the Phantom Forest."
"Phantom Forest? What kind of forest is Phantom Forest? Can you sleep?" Zhao Wenguang deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Li Qinghan smiled and said: "I don't know, I was also chased and forced into the Phantom Forest."
"Ah? Miss Li is being hunted?" Zhao Wenguang looked surprised and looked around with some vigilance, "Where, where..." Zhao Wenguang said while flashing his long sleeves.
"Pfft..." Li Qinghan laughed, "Zhao Wenguang, you don't know martial arts, do you?"
"Uh" Zhao Wenguang stopped swinging his sleeves, scratched his scalp, and laughed awkwardly.
"Zhao Wenguang, please...do you have anything to eat or drink..." Li Qinghan thought for a long time and decided to ask.
Zhao Wenguang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes." After saying that, Zhao Wenguang took out a piece of flour cake from his arms, "Well, there is still one piece left. Miss Li, if you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
alright."
"No, no, no," Li Qinghan declined, "Give me a little, just a little will do."
Zhao Wenguang smiled and nodded, then broke off half of it and handed it to Li Qinghan.
Li Qinghan took the pancake and did not eat it. Instead, he held it in front of his nose and smelled it.
Zhao Wenguang smiled slightly and said: "Miss Li, you don't suspect that the noodles are unclean, do you?"
Li Qinghan smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Well, in that case, Miss Li can try it with the silver hairpin on her head, huh."
Li Qinghan felt a little embarrassed. Although the other party seemed harmless, there were only two of them at the moment, so there was nothing wrong with taking more precautions.
After struggling for a moment, Li Qinghan decided to test the poison with the silver hairpin.
Zhao Wenguang looked at Li Qinghan's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: What a stunning beauty, what a pity, what a pity, I, Zhao Wenguang, am not someone who cares about beauty. Well, such a beauty, let's tease her first, until we get tired of teasing her.
It's not too late to change his attitude and capture her. Hmm, how about playing well? Hmm, Lingchi seems good. Hmm, okay, let's just Lingchi.
Seeing Li Qinghan carefully removing the silver hairpin from his head, Zhao Wenguang said with a smile: "Miss Li, look, my noodle cake is fine..."
Li Qinghan didn't say anything. She first smeared some of her saliva on the silver hairpin, and then stuck the silver hairpin into the dough.
Pull out the silver hairpin, the silver hairpin is smooth and silvery and has not turned black.
Zhao Wenguang looked at Li Qinghan with a smile. While looking at him, he picked up the remaining half of the dough and started to chew it.
"Hmph, I, Zhao Wenguang, disdain despicable methods like poisoning or drugging. What I like is watching people's painful expressions when they wake up... Do you understand? Li Qinghan, do you understand?" Zhao Wenguang said more and more.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I almost laughed out loud.
Li Qinghan raised his head and saw Zhao Wenguang eating the noodle cake in his hand with a smile, and sighed: "I'm really sorry, I have to do this."
Zhao Wenguang shook his head: "No, no, no, Miss Li is right to be more cautious. Well, are you willing to eat the noodles now? Alas, it's a pity that there is no water."
Li Qinghan smiled slightly: "This half piece of flour cake is enough. I should be able to find some if I search for water." After that, Li Qinghan picked up the flour cake and ate it one bite at a time.
Seeing Li Qinghan's beautiful appearance eating cakes, Zhao Wenguang's perversion took a step further. If he hadn't pinched his thigh secretly, he would have wanted to capture Li Qinghan right now and then...
After Li Qinghan finished eating the noodles, Zhao Wenguang suggested that the two of them look for the exit of the Phantom Forest together. Li Qinghan thought about it and felt that it would be more convenient for the two of them to go together. Besides, this Zhao Wenguang was also studying at Zijia Academy, so they happened to be together.
Go out and go back together.
Li Qinghan nodded and agreed.
Zhao Wenguang bowed politely to Li Qinghan and made a gesture of invitation. Li Qinghan hummed, walked to Zhao Wenguang, and passed with him.
