Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 957 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 45

After she finished speaking, seeing that the pheasant's neck didn't move, she flicked its forehead, as if teaching the snake to speak.

"Little Flower, Little Flower".

Xie Yuchen couldn't help but chuckle, Hei Xiazi couldn't help but grin, and Zhang Qiling also curled his lips.

The fat man burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you're asking the snake a difficult question. You actually want it to speak human language? It would have to be a fully-fledged spirit to do that!"

Others watching also wanted to laugh.

"Little Flower, Little Flower." Just as everyone was laughing, a voice came from the pheasant's neck.

“Little flower, little flower,” Gu Wusi continued.

Pheasant Neck: "Little flower, little flower."

Xie Yuchen felt both helpless and amused. Calling him Little Flower was one thing, but why call him Little Blooming Flower?

"No way, this snake can really talk?" The fat man was almost speechless with astonishment.

Wu Xie also found it unscientific. After careful observation, he said, "It shouldn't be able to speak. It sounds like it's imitating human voices. The sound it makes is very similar to Gu Wusi's."

Gu Wusi then turned the snake towards Hei Xiazi, and the two looked at him, saying, "Hei Xiazi, Hei Xiazi."

"It's pitch black, it's pitch black."

Hei Xiazi was laughing, but when he heard this form of address, he was puzzled: "Why does it sound so strange when it comes to me, Hei Ye? It's one thing to use a reduplicated word, but to add the word 'Hei' is another."

Gu Wusi smiled but didn't reply, then looked at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling looked at her quietly.

She instantly understood and changed what she originally wanted to call out, "Little brother, little brother."

"Hey, big brother!"

"Hahaha, little brother~ you mute got teased by a pheasant with a neck." Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi stopped worrying about himself.

Zhang Qiling exchanged a glance with the snake, then decisively looked away; he couldn't hear it.

"Hahahaha." The others couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.

"Wang Pangpang, Wu Xiemen."

"Why is mine different?" Wu Xie protested.

"Guess." Gu Wusi didn't explain to him.

Xie Yuchen jokingly asked him, "Who in your family are you planning to give this snake to?"

He wanted to see who would receive this exceptionally special gift.

"Give it to my older brother, he'll like it. He can hear me calling him 'brother' every day in the office," Gu Wusi said directly.

Gu Wufeng: ...Thank you so much, I want to hit my sister.

"Your brother is so lucky to have a sister like you," Wu Xie said, rubbing his stomach, which ached from laughing.

"Yes."

Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, Ah Ning gradually calmed down and returned to her normal state.

"We've rested enough, everyone, let's continue our journey."

We spent the afternoon walking in the rainforest, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed because we could hear Gu Wusi teasing the pheasant's neck the whole way.

Gu Wusi wrapped the snake around his arm and wore it as a bracelet; the black and red combination was barely acceptable.

"Be careful not to get bitten, or I'll help you pull out its fangs," Black Bear suggested casually as he walked by.

"No need, it won't bite me, right, Little Black?" Gu Wusi stroked the snake's head and asked with a smile.

The pheasant silently shrank its neck, wanting to bite but daring not to.

"Little Black, how much human flesh have you eaten? Should we get your stomach pumped when we get back?"

Pheasant Neck: ...This human is a devil.

It got dark, so everyone found a place to spend the night.

Because we entered the rainforest early, we didn't encounter a rainy day and also avoided blood-sucking ticks.

"Wake up, host. Zhang Qiling is about to bleed you out."

Gu Wusi was woken up by Xiao Qi and saw that he was the only one lying down sleeping next to her.

She blocked out her hearing before going to sleep and no one woke her up, so she didn't notice when everyone got up.

She got up and followed the sound to where there were people.

Just then, I saw Zhang Qiling squatting on the ground in the rainforest, with a large snake skeleton in front of him, and some ticks crawling out of it.

He held a knife in his hand, as if he was about to cut his palm to bleed out the insects, but then seemed to hesitate as if he had thought of something.

"Brother, don't bleed him." Wu Xie said when he saw him making that gesture.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling had made progress, Gu Wusi hesitated before speaking: "I'm squeamish about blood, so please don't bleed in front of me."

Fainting at the sight of blood? That's such a lame excuse.

This was everyone's unanimous opinion, but they also knew that she was concerned about Zhang Qiling.

Hei Xiazi was jealous again. Xie Yuchen didn't say anything. Zhang Qiling gave Gu Wusi a deep look, then sheathed his sword.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning? It smells awful, what's so interesting about this place?" Gu Wusi said, seeing that the bleeding had stopped, before turning back to wash up.

She got up so early, and hasn't had breakfast yet.

Hei Xiazi followed her, watching her brush her teeth and wash her face, then took out a bottle of yogurt and drank it.

"What are you looking at? You haven't eaten either."

"You seem quite concerned about the mute?" Hei Xiazi asked her, without mentioning breakfast.

Xie Yuchen, who was walking behind, stopped and waited for Gu Wusi's answer. This was also the question he wanted to ask but hadn't had a chance to.

Hei Xiazi glanced at him, then looked away.

“Yes.” Gu Wusi took a sip of yogurt and then took out a piece of bread.

"You mean you've fallen for him? That mute guy is quiet and hard to understand, he's not easy to deal with."

For his own selfish reasons, Hei Xiazi didn't mind saying some bad things about the mute.

He didn't want to hear that she had actually fallen for Zhang Qiling.

Xie Yuchen wasn't completely unresponsive; he was waiting.

Gu Wusi observed their expressions and reactions, then silently took a bite of bread.

Unexpectedly, she ended up with quite a few romantic entanglements this time.

She has no plans to get married in this lifetime, but of course, dating won't be a problem.

Saying that any relationship not aimed at marriage is immoral, well then she's going to be immoral.

Then look at Zhang Qiling, who was blocked by a tree and hadn't come over. He stood quietly, his expression unreadable.

Wu Xie and Fatty, standing nearby, were looking at Gu Wusi and then at Zhang Qiling, as if they had just heard some juicy gossip.

In the distance, Ah Ning and her men were still rummaging through the snake's belly with Pan Zi; their conversation was not audible.

With so many people around, Gu Wusi naturally didn't intend to give a direct answer: "Isn't it normal for me to care about him?"

"What's normal about it? Why don't you care about me? The three of us met together, and you're showing favoritism." Black Bear said with a half-smile.

“He is my benefactor, of course I will care about him.”

"My benefactor? When were you injured?" Xie Yuchen finally spoke up.

Just then, Zhang Qiling walked over and said as he passed by, "Pack your things."

As he passed by Hei Xiazi, he glanced at him, and Hei Xiazi raised an eyebrow and smiled at him.

He's thick-skinned and doesn't mind being overheard talking badly about others.

Gu Wusi thought to herself that her brother had improved; he knew that her background was not something that should be casually mentioned, and he would even interrupt them to stop talking.
