Chapter 700 World 235
The eldest brother moved closer, not disturbing the firefly, and examined it for a moment as it remained on Shen Ruyin's hand. He then shook his head: "It's not it."
"Oh," Shen Ruyin said, bowing her head, "I'm sorry I couldn't help you and made you work for nothing."
“It’s okay,” the eldest brother comforted her. “Finding the one we’re looking for among so many fireflies is a very difficult task in itself.”
"And you're right, this firefly that comes to you on its own initiative is special enough."
Just as they were about to get in the car and go back, the firefly in Shen Ruyin's hand flew up again, circled in front of Shen Ruyin, flew a little further into the jungle, and then turned back and stopped in front of Shen Ruyin.
Brother Zhou looked at the firefly, then at Shen Ruyin: "Could it be that it wants Shen to follow it somewhere?"
“Very likely,” Ke Xue agreed, then turned his attention to Shen Ruyin, “Yinyin, have you always had a high affinity for animals since you were little?”
"That's true to some extent," Shen Ruyin readily admitted. "Even the fiercest fighter in our neighborhood, Li Hua, likes me."
"Besides cats, is there anything else?" Ke Xue asked. "For example, can you talk to small animals, sing with them, or ask them to do things for you?"
Shen Ruyin glanced at him again and again, finally unable to resist rolling her eyes: "Boss, do you think I'm a runaway princess?"
"Besides, who hasn't talked to small animals when they were a kid?"
"If you have a cat or dog at home, who can really ignore their furry friend all the time?"
Ke Xue looked somewhat embarrassed.
After all, he also has a rather intelligent dog of his own.
When the dog is willing to pay attention to him, it will be so considerate that it will get him slippers; when it is not willing to pay attention to him, it will destroy the house like crazy and will act as if it doesn't understand anything he says.
"Sister Li, let's take Shen home first. Let's follow this firefly and take a look."
As the eldest brother spoke, he took a few steps in the direction indicated by the fireflies.
But soon they discovered that without Shen Ruyin following them out, the firefly didn't go anywhere else.
Shen Ruyin put on her hat and mask and got off the bus voluntarily.
The firefly immediately flew around her several times.
“Shen,” the eldest brother handed her a brocade pouch-shaped pendant, “wear this and never take it off.”
Shen Ruyin took it and gently squeezed it. Inside were two neatly folded triangles. Judging from the texture, it was most likely a talisman.
Unfortunately, this is the wrong place, so Shen Ruyin can't open it to see what kind of talisman is inside.
After locking the car, they followed the firefly into the woods.
The fireflies dart left and right, never moving in a straight line.
Shen Ruyin silently memorized the route map and discovered that the route the firefly led them along was a formation.
Because she didn't know the details of the formation, Shen Ruyin could only stay close to the fireflies and couldn't afford to be distracted by looking at the others.
But she felt that the eldest brother and Brother Zhou probably figured out what was going on.
After the fireflies finished circling, Shen Ruyin and the others turned around a large tree, and suddenly a waterfall appeared in front of them.
Shen Ruyin maintained her composure and asked, "Boss, we didn't hear any water sound just now. We went around this tree and arrived at the bottom of the waterfall. Does that make sense?"
"Huh? This... science, of course it's science," Ke Xue didn't forget his appearance, "It's possible that we followed this firefly in a big circle, from near the guesthouse to this waterfall."
“We were all busy getting on our way and no one noticed anything else, so it’s possible that we only saw the waterfall and discovered the water after we went around this tree.”
Upon hearing this, Brother Zhou casually replied, "Hey, didn't you guys hear the sound of water? I heard it a long time ago."
The eldest brother exchanged a glance with him and then nodded, which was considered a statement of agreement.
Officer Li, noticing Shen Ruyin's gaze, said, "I think I vaguely heard a sound of water, but I can't be sure."
Well, all of them can lie without needing to rehearse their lines. Now only Shen Ruyin and Ke Xue are "deaf".
Shen Ruyin didn't know how to evaluate their behavior. She turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, and finally stared at the water that was naturally divided in the middle of the waterfall and said.
"Is it possible that there's a rock or something else blocking the way, causing the waterfall to split and reveal the cave behind it?"
“It’s also very possible,” Ke Xue said, looking at his boss and the others with longing eyes.
The eldest brother came to his rescue at the right moment: "I plan to go into the cave to check the situation. Sister Li, Ke Xue, you two stay outside and keep Shen company?"
"I think……"
Ke Xuecai opened his mouth and said a few words, when he heard a woman's voice say, "It should be up ahead, I can hear the sound of water."
"After searching for so many days, we're finally about to find it."
"If I still can't find it, I'll think this map is fake."
The expressions of the people present became serious. The leader did not say anything about letting Shen Ruyin stay outside the cave or having someone accompany her. He gestured, then carried Shen Ruyin on his back, took a few steps forward, and stepped into the cave using the water as leverage.
Shen Ruyin hadn't even reacted before the boss put her down.
This speed is really fast.
Shen Ruyin glanced back at the waterfall, then looked at her boss, but remained silent without asking any questions.
Ke Xue, who was brought up by Brother Wang, was eager to explain to her.
"The boss used to learn kung fu from a master of a reclusive sect. He's the kind of person who can fly over rooftops and walk on walls."
"Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, the world is full of wonders. Look at Wudang, there are kung fu masters who can use their lightness skills to cross high walls in a few steps."
“Boss,” Shen Ruyin called out, “Now I understand why the admins in your fan group have turned against you because they’ve become such devoted fans.”
Ke Xue paused, then humbly asked, "Why?"
Shen Ruyin curled the corners of her lips and made a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Because you're always so stubborn, and the reasons you come up with aren't very good either. It makes people want to expose you, but they also feel a little reluctant to do so."
Ke Xue understood; Shen Ruyin didn't believe him: "What do you mean by being stubborn? How can I, a live streamer, be stubborn with my fans who are my bread and butter?"
“That’s true,” Shen Ruyin said, smoothing her downcast hair.
"You're still a little better than a dead duck's beak, after all, you're a human being."
Before Ke Xue could refute her again, Shen Ruyin said, "If I'm not mistaken, that voice should be my classmate Zhao Manrou."
