Chapter 436: Chapter 432: Did I Just See a Ghost?
Squad Leader Chen didn’t make a move.
Whether or not he wanted to, Wen Ran didn’t know, but the little mushrooms she gave him sure came in handy.
Squad Leader Chen’s eyes suddenly became dreamy for a moment. He gave a wicked smile, "Woman, you’ve successfully caught my attention."
Everyone: "???"
Wait, is this the right direction?
Everyone was stunned by Squad Leader Chen’s behavior, but he remained oblivious and continued, "I know the words you just said are false.
You saw me in this military uniform and must have fallen hard for me."
Everyone: "???"
"Don’t worry, even though I’m just a squad leader right now, the monthly allowance isn’t small enough to make you nice and plump."
"Ha! Did you hear that? Don’t play hard to get, what do you mean ’no’?"
"When a woman says ’no,’ it means ’yes’!"
Wen Ran: "......"
Silence is tonight’s Cambridge.
She shakily reached into her pocket, looked at the little paper packet labeled hallucinogenic, and felt a darkness come over her.
See, when she gave Squad Leader Chen something potent to knock him out, how did he not feel sleepy at all?
Turns out, it’s a mix-up.
Everyone exchanged glances, a bit uncertain, "Isn’t it possible that he’s possessed?"
It’s better if no one speaks, but once someone does, everyone’s heart skips with hesitation.
In a place full of yang energy, bringing up such things would just be treated as a joke.
But...
This group claims what they do is archaeology.
Put bluntly, it’s no different from grave robbing.
"Oh no, oh no," the unaccomplished Cai Xiaowen squatted down first, shakily supporting Wen Ran’s ankle, "We’ve really messed up this time, too many immoral deeds, my calf is cramping."
"Over to you," Xu Ying raised a foot, kicked Cai Xiaowen’s butt, "Stop talking nonsense, there’s no possession or anything, anyone talking crap, I’ll rip their mouth open."
This sounded quite spirited.
But if Xu Ying weren’t shaking, the credibility should be a bit higher.
"Then, then what’s he doing now?"
The main thing is, Squad Leader Chen’s words weren’t directed at any of them.
Squad Leader Chen is now facing the wall!!!
"Who the hell is he teasing?"
Can’t think deeply, thinking deeply is even more terrifying.
The owner of this tomb, are they male or female?
Instigator Wen Ran: "..."
What to do, if the truth is revealed now, would they beat me to death?
Mr. Gu Sr. took a deep breath, reached out his hand, aimlessly scratched in the air, bewildered, "Can someone help me?"
Help or not, Wen Ran only knew, if she didn’t act decisively now, things would really get out of hand.
"What’s with all the fuss," Wen Ran pulled Mr. Gu Sr. over to the side, seated him on a chair, tearing herself away, and pulled up Cai Xiaowen, who was clutching her calf.
Rolling up her sleeves, she charged forward.
She stepped up, targeted Squad Leader Chen’s back neck, and chopped down on it.
Squad Leader Chen, who was having a self-fulfilling moment, wobbled in place, then crumpled down.
Wen Ran bent slightly, hoisted Squad Leader Chen onto her shoulder, stood up easily, "Where does he rest?"
"Over, over here..."
After settling Squad Leader Chen down carefully, Wen Ran cautiously gave him a little water mixed with spring water, not daring to give much, just a little.
It can detoxify.
This little mushroom has no other effects, just hallucinogenic; even if not detoxified, over three to five days, he’ll slowly recover.
"How’s it going?"
Everyone was still terrified from Squad Leader Chen’s outburst, and no one acted alone, sticking together in packs wherever they went.
Their favorite place was right behind Wen Ran, staring helplessly.
Wen Ran: "...It’s fine, really? Let’s all have some faith in science, okay?"
Xu Ying quietly approached, hugged one of Wen Ran’s arms, and said softly, "You don’t know, spend time in this line of work long enough, and you might really encounter one or two who’ve become spirits."
Living long enough probably means this.
Live long enough, and you’ll see all kinds of supernatural beings.
Mr. Gu Sr. didn’t refute, everyone was somewhat dispirited.
It seems this old man had seen some before.
Regarding those things, Wen Ran had no explanations either, given that her existence itself was a...
Um, if you look at it this way, this group of people clinging onto her, to put it bluntly, were basically delivered to her doorstep.
She chuckled lightly, Xu Ying misunderstood, thinking Wen Ran didn’t believe, and said sourly, "You go ahead and be cocky, don’t believe it now, you will sooner or later."
Aunt Zhou moved on smugly, thinking Wen Ran couldn’t do anything to her.
Wen Ran didn’t mind, like an autumn cricket, no matter how she jumps, how many days can she jump?
According to Xiao Chengguang’s speed, tidying up them all would just take a couple of days.
Feelings of cowardice and fear aside, work must continue.
Previously, everyone scattered like stars, each working their own.
Now, they’ve all squeezed together in one pit, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, with any movement, there’s a chance of buttocks touching.
Before, if a touch happened, you’d surely jump up, exchanging sharp words.
Now...
If they touch, then they touch.
No big deal, given the tough conditions, being finicky is quite unreasonable.
With that, they still felt insecure, frequently lifting their heads to check if Wen Ran was still around.
Sitting on the edge of the pit, supporting her chin with a look of resignation, Wen Ran: "..."
Hetao and the Red Army squeezed beside Wen Ran, murmuring in deep voices.
"So, with the sun high up, what are you afraid of?"
"You don’t get it, earlier, wasn’t that sun high up?"
"Exactly, even with the sun high up, it still shows up, must be very skilled!"
Wen Ran: "..."
Alright.
Maybe it’s best to confess.
This group of people is acting quite peculiar.
"Whether it’s deep or not," Wen Ran said kindly, "If you all don’t let me go, we won’t have dinner tonight."
Offending that uncompromising Aunt Zhou, even if she ’acts generously’, ’disregards the past’ and cooks for them again.
They wouldn’t have the guts to eat it, considering she might add some unique ingredients, snacks, or something, wouldn’t that bode bad news?
"No worries," even if Cai Xiaowen, recalling that satisfying afternoon meal, salivates, she still hardened her resolve, braving it, "We are robust and strong, skipping a meal won’t kill us."
Mr. Gu Sr. "..."
But, the term ’robust and strong’ doesn’t really apply to him, this old man.
He needs to eat, if he doesn’t, there’s a high chance he won’t be able to get up the next day.
"I..."
