314 houses
The long-necked saw shovel didn't explain much, but just begged them to save his daughter.
The few people didn't have anything to worry about, so they followed together. Everyone moved very quickly, and the blessings of Zeqi and Ghost Insects allowed them to pass through the chaotic forest without any hindrance, and they arrived at the cave in a short time.
Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief. At least the cave did not collapse. The cold wind continued to pour out from inside. The insect masters could not help but rub their bodies and lamented the cold.
"It's too cold for you to put her in a place like this." Jade Weevil frowned, expressing great dissatisfaction with the environment here.
"No... you will know when you go in." The long-neck saw shovel stopped talking and ran into the cave in a hurry, followed immediately by those who came after him.
What happened? Chen Jian and his daughter only met once. The child looked very normal and ordinary. Why couldn't he leave the cave?
After passing through many branches of the cave, they finally reached the end of the cave.
Chen Jian found that the last time he came here was relatively warm, but this time he didn't feel that way. The plants clinging to the stone wall were showing signs of withering, and the ends of the branches were withered and yellow, probably because they had not been exposed to sunlight for many years.
The sunlight and the nutrients of the mountain were finally not enough to support their lives, and they began to wither and die.
On a bed made of straw, there lay a girl dripping with sweat. Her face was red, as if she had caught a cold.
The long-necked saw shovel said anxiously: "When I came here, she looked like this."
The red-backed spider walked up to her, squatted down, and touched the back of the girl's hand with the back of his cold hand, and then her forehead.
"It's hot." She turned to tell the others.
"It's too cold here." Jade Weevil said.
"But..." Long-Necked Shovel hesitated, "She comes here all the time in winter. It's spring now, why is it so cold..."
"There are so many problems," he said impatiently. "Let's take her to a warm place first. It will only get colder and colder in the cave - you just said that she can't leave the cave. What happened?"
The long-necked saw shovel had a painful expression on his face, as if he was recalling bad memories. His trembling cheeks were getting colder, and his dry, frozen purple lips could not help but tremble.
He said: "She has been like this since she was born. She has to be surrounded by places. Once she goes to an open place, she will scream and faint."
When he talked about screaming, he glanced at Chen Jian. Chen Jian deliberately avoided the gaze of the long-necked saw shovel as if he had a guilty conscience.
Chen Jian didn't know why the little girl screamed that day. It was precisely because he didn't know that he felt inexplicably panicked.
"But she has passed out now!" Redback Spider was a little angry, "You still leave her here?"
The long-necked saw shovel hesitated again and again, but finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and picked up his daughter with both hands: "Okay, I'll take her out."
"If she's afraid of the open air, just put her in the house." said the red-backed spider. "Why go to all the trouble to get it here? I thought your daughter would never see the light of day."
Hearing such harsh words, Long Neck Saw was very angry, but since the Redback Spider was here to help him, he swallowed his anger and walked out of the cave and said: "Because the house is too narrow, I would rather let her stay in the cave."
I grew up there, and I don’t want her to hide in that kind of place.”
The red-backed spider shrugged and seemed dissatisfied with the reason for the long-necked saw. But she couldn't understand the idea of being a father, so she didn't say much.
She said to Jade Weevil and Chen Jian: "No matter what happens after you go out, you two go outside to build a hut first, and hurry up!" Then she said to the long-necked saw shovel: "You wait here until we get the house ready."
Once it’s done, how about I call you over?”
The long-necked saw shovel nodded: "Please, everyone."
"Put it on me." Jade Weevil said without complaint, "Hidden Winged Insect, let's go?"
"good."
Chen Jian didn't want to stay with Long-necked Shovel any longer, especially since he was still holding his daughter. He was worried that the little girl would let out a deafening scream when she woke up and saw him.
He really couldn't stand that kind of thing happening, as if he owed the girl something - but he remembered clearly that he had never seen her; and it was impossible for him to.
Chen Jian considered the possibility that "he" had been to Worm Valley before, met the girl, and some unpleasant things happened between the two.
But this statement cannot be established. He did lose part of his memory during time travel, but his appearance and body shape did not change. If he had been to Insect Valley before, how could others not know about it? According to the character of the owner of the valley, he would definitely say it.
Thinking of the Valley Master, Chen Jian's heart shrank nervously. The agreed time was getting closer and closer, and he still had no idea how he could come back from the dead. Perhaps only the people who were around him at the time knew about this matter - Wen
Qingyun.
"Hey, don't stand there in a daze, move all the wood away and make room!" Jade Weevil shouted to Chen Jian.
"okay……"
Chen Jian numbly moved the thick trees that were chopped down by the jade weevil, and the forest soon opened up. He piled the wood aside and watched the sky as the big trees creaked, and the light and shadow and trunks were heavy at the same time.
Smashing to the ground, he seemed to be able to hear time rushing.
"What should we do next? Put these logs up?" Chen Jian asked.
"Redback spider, she built the whole house with spider silk!"
Chen Jian thought of the cobwebs in the corner of his room. It turned out to be the work of red-backed spiders.
He shook his head hard. Even though the Valley Master told him that he had only been in purgatory for half a year, he still felt that more than ten years had passed. The time he spent with Wen Qingyun was short and far away, and he could hardly remember the other person's face.
Looks like a shy fair-skinned girl... Where did they go after they parted?
Chen Jian remembers that she said it, or did another person say it? Who was that person?
He closed his eyes, and the scene from many years ago vaguely emerged. The sun that day appeared at the end of his field of vision, and the orange light rendered the desolate atmosphere of "the solitary smoke in the desert." The sun was on the left, and they were in front - the south!
Chen Jian remembered.
Wen Qingyun said that she and Gu Quanshun were coming to southern Xinjiang to escape the limelight temporarily. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be nearby.
"What's wrong? You look excited." Jade Weevil pushed Chen Jian's shoulder, "The red-backed spider connected the wood. Is it so beautiful?"
Only then did Chen Jian see that the limbs of the red-backed spider were crawling on the wood rooted in the ground like spider legs. Silk stained with mucus was spit out from her mouth. She put her head against the joint of the wood, meticulously, and soon
Glue a house together.
The rectangular city is surrounded by round wooden pillars, and a wooden plank split in half is used as the roof on the top. The gate is also a simple wooden plank with one side attached to the house body and can be rotated and opened.
"finished."
