Qi Xing propped up Xue Yi, whose legs were already numb, and told her his decision. Search for the hermit!

When Qi Xing said he was going to find that hermit, Xue Yi only said three words, "I'll listen to you." This caused the corners of Qi Xing's mouth to curl up.

After packing their things, Qi Xing and Xue Yi set out on their way to the Great Woods Mountain. When Qi Xing Road encountered a place that he didn't know how to walk, he asked around. On the way, Xue Yi was like a bird out of a cage. Her bell-like laughter made the road no longer boring. Xue Yi would come here from time to time to tease Qi Xing, which made Qi Xing feel quite helpless. However, the smile on her face couldn't stop.

"Xue Yi, come here quickly. Stop messing around …" Qi Xing found a big tree and sat down beside it. Since it was already noon, it was time to rest after walking for such a long time.

"What's wrong?" Puzzled, Xue Yi came to Qi Xing's side.

"What time is it now? It's already noon. Aren't you tired after walking for so long? Are you hungry?" Qi Xing opened the bag behind him and took out the dry rations to give to Xue Yi. At the same time, he took out a kettle and opened the lid to pass to her.

"I don't feel anything if you don't tell me. I'm really hungry now that you mention it." Xue Yi seemed to suddenly wake up, revealing a look of understanding. He sat down next to Qi Xing, took the food from her, and began to eat.

Qi Xing looked at the pedestrians in a daze. He seemed to be thinking about something with a lonely expression. After a long while, Qi Xing finally woke up. Just as he wanted to get up and see Xue Yi actually asleep while leaning on him, he smiled helplessly and let her sleep for a while more. However, Xue Yi didn't wake up even after a long time. She was forced to wake Xue Yi up.

At first, Xue Yi was complaining that Qi Xing had woken her up, but when she thought about staying the night in the forest, she gave up. In order to not spend the night in the forest, Xue Yi even ran a little …

As the two walked further and further away, their silhouettes finally deviated from the main road. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, and the two of them finally arrived in front of the Great Woods Mountain. However, there was something unfortunate. Then it would be dark and he wouldn't be able to travel at all during the night …

After all, it was the first time Xue Yi spent the night in the mountains, and she was very uneasy facing the unknown. Xue Yi subconsciously moved closer to Qi Xing. Qi Xing could feel Xue Yi's body crumbling and trembling slightly. Qi Xing grabbed Xue Yi's hand and found that Xue Yi was covered in sweat. "Perhaps Xue Yi is a little calmer after sensing the existence of Qi Xing." Don't be afraid, it's not like you don't know. I've spent many nights in the mountains, so I can be considered an experienced person. " Qi Xing used his clumsy method to comfort Xue Yi.

Qi Xing took Xue Yi around the forest for a while and finally found a big tree that he was satisfied with. This was an ancient tree. The trunk needed four adults to wrap their arms around it. One part of the tree formed an arched opening. The inside of the tree was hollow. Qi Xing was the hollow part of the tree, about ten meters away from the ground, it would appear as a flower bud shape with branches growing out in all directions. And that place was also hollow, just right at the mouth of the wind. In other words, this ancient tree was like a pillar, only having a natural camouflage. Qi Xing had taken a fancy to this place. If he rested at night, he could completely seal the entrance of the tree trunk from the inside. If no wild beast trespasses, then everything is safe...

Inside the tree hole, Xue Yi looked around curiously. She didn't expect there to be such a place inside the tree. Under the dim moonlight, the two of them gradually fell asleep …
