Acupuncture? Ye Bing and Zhan Fei were stunned. Who would have thought traditional Chinese acupuncture could be so magical? A single needle can make soone's limbs go out of order. They fully believed what Lanya said, and their view of Luo Chao changed a bit. They hadn't expected Luo Chao to possess such profound acupuncture skills at such a young age.
Ruan Qing, who had been excited for nothing, rolled her eyes, but upon hearing the word acupuncture, she beca quite interested: "Luo Chao, who exactly are you? How do you know Lanya?"
"Lanya is my boss! That's how we know each other," Luo Chao said with deep aning.
Boss? Ruan Qing was startled, then suddenly realized: "So you work in the logistics departnt at the Tengyuan Group. I thought you were a proper traditional Chinese dicine practitioner. Also... have you studied martial arts?"
This girl asks non-stop; even Lanya couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her, saying: "Qing, stop asking all these questions. Even I don't know these things. It's pointless to ask. Let's focus on how to enter the mountain range."
Zhan Fei nodded. After Luo Chao showcased his skills, he gained quite a bit of confidence in the team. He said seriously, "I just looked at the terrain. This village is halfway up the mountain. If we cross the village and go directly down the mountain, we can save a lot of ti and directly enter the mountain range. But we can't drive anymore, so we'll have to walk."
Ye Bing said, "We'll leave the car in the village. I'm sure the villagers won't dare to ss with us again. We'll prepare everything tonight and set off tomorrow morning!"
Lanya and Ruan Qing nodded their little heads in agreent, while Luo Chao stretched lazily and said, "Are you sure you want to go in?"
"What?" Zhan Fei asked.
Luo Chao chuckled helplessly twice: "This nature reserve has quite a few wild beasts. Can you protect yourselves without guns, with no strength to even restrain a chicken?"
"We have this!" Ye Bing pulled out a stun baton from the backpack on the bed. Luo Chao's face turned dark: "If a pack of wolves attacks, how many can you zap?"
"Well..." Ye Bing scratched his head, unsure of what to say. Listening to him, it did seem quite dangerous.
Lanya said irritably, "Luo Chao, don't dampen our enthusiasm, okay?"
Luo Chao pouted: "I'm just being honest. It's a very serious issue."
"But you're here," Ruan Qing giggled.
At this mont, only Zhan Fei hadn't spoken. The reason he initiated this archaeological activity was simply to be with Lanya alone, hoping to get closer and eventually develop feelings. He had already planned not to go deep into the mountains; courting a girl was his main goal.
Not entering the forest's central area, wandering outside, setting up camp under a big tree, gazing at stars, admiring the moon—how romantic!
As Ye Bing, his friend, certainly wanted to help facilitate this beautiful relationship.
Luo Chao was speechless: "Do you think I'm Superman, that I can protect all four of you at once?"
Ye Fei finally spoke: "We move during the day, and at night we camp and light a bonfire. Wild animals won't dare approach, so we shouldn't encounter any danger."
"Yes, Ye Fei is right," Lanya continued: "We'll spend two days. If we don't see any wild people, we'll co out before dark the night after."
Staying in the forest for just one night shouldn't be dangerous. Luo Chao nodded: "Okay then, prepare the dical kit. The mountains have plenty of poisonous insects and snakes."
"Knock, knock, knock!" Just as Luo Chao finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Zhan Fei said, "Co in!"
The old wooden door creaked open, and the old fat man, whom Luo Chao had scolded earlier, walked in. They already knew this old fat man was the village chief, nad Ke Dong. They were slightly surprised to learn he was the chief.
"Hope I'm not disturbing your rest," Ke Dong said with a sheepish smile, glancing at Luo Chao, his feet trembling slightly, obviously fearing him.
Lanya asked seriously, "What do you want?"
Ke Dong smiled: "There's nothing much, just wanted to remind you. Entering the forest from here is very dangerous. Last month, several people followed your route into the reserve but none ca back."
"What did you say!" Ye Bing shouted, startled: "It can't be that scary!"
Lanya, Ruan Qing, and Zhan Fei all turned pale. Were those people eaten by wild humans? If they encountered beasts, it's not likely they'd all perish.
Luo Chao's gaze turned cold: "How many people were there?"
Ke Dong quickly replied: "There were six, all n, looking quite strong. They seed to be searching for traces of wild people in the reserve."
"Six people dead, and the police don't care?" Zhan Fei asked, frowning.
Ke Dong hesitated: "Well, many police did co. Because the forest fog is always thick, they dared not go deep, spending days exploring but found nothing."
The last group consisted of six robust n that Ke Dong dared not bother. But Luo Chao's group of three n and two won, still immature-looking, tempted him to have mischievous thoughts.
Ruan Qing whispered: "I don't think we should go in. I truly believe there are wild people, and they're very dangerous. If six n died, isn't it even more suicidal for us to go?"
"I'm just kindly reminding you; whether you go or not is up to you," Ke Dong said with a dry laugh. He ca to remind them all because of Luo Chao. Just like he said earlier, his wife stopped when she got tired of jumping rope, proving Luo Chao is very capable.
Even if they died, this young man with dark skin wouldn't necessarily perish. Ke Dong wouldn't want Luo Chao to escape alone later and bla him for not warning about the dangers of the forest. That would be a troubleso situation.
"Thank you," Zhan Fei nodded, handing over 2000 yuan from his pocket: "Consider this rent money."
"Well..." Ke Dong hesitated to accept but dared not refuse, glancing at Luo Chao out of the corner of his eye, seeing he showed no reaction. Ke Dong then said with a chuckle: "I won't be polite then. I advise you not to go, it's truly unsafe."
After saying this, Ke Dong turned and left. Once he softly closed the door, Ruan Qing saw nobody was responding to her and said: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
