C23 (1/2)

After another day of rest in the town, Fang Zhoushu and Tiezi set out on their way once again. They followed the clues given by the dog-skin book to continue their search for the divine infant, and set up camp in the small forest beside the river at night.

The two of them were still on shift, keeping watch at night. The first half of the night was still quite lively, but from then on the police began to feel sleepy, constantly napping as they leaned against the big tree. Fang Zhisu, on the other hand, was deep in sleep as he lay in the wind, unaware that a pair of ice-cold eyes was observing them in the darkness.

”Hehe, you are indeed still a chick. With this level of vigilance, even if you die, you won't even know how you died!”

Greed appeared in the black-clothed man's eyes. The Fang family's precious heirloom, the blood clot, was right in front of him. As long as he could sneak over and kill the two of them, the treasure would be his!

Just as he was about to make his move, the man in black suddenly turned around. Staring at the lush grass on the left side, he cursed the crafty kid and disappeared into the darkness.

”Eh? Why is there no one here? It should be here! ”

Fang Zishu carefully examined the place where the black-clothed man had hidden and soon discovered that the branches had been crushed and the grass trampled. He immediately knew that the person must have discovered that he had escaped ahead of time.

”What happened, did you find that person?”

The cop also rushed over with the mecha shovel. He looked around and was ready to launch an attack at any moment.

”No, that person is very cunning. He discovered our trap.”

Fang Zishu sighed. ”If we can't catch him this time, it won't be so easy next time!”

The moment he thought about the fact that there was an insidious person who had been following him the whole way and was ready to strike at any time, he felt his head hurt. If he really had to do this, then he wouldn't even be able to sleep at night!

”That might not be the case!”

The cop yawned. ”Let's give him a good beating. If he's smart, he should think it over. We're not to be trifled with either!”

”That's enough. No matter what, you have to be more careful in the future!”

After midnight, the two of them continued to shift shifts to sleep. When the first rays of the morning sun pierced through the darkness, the two of them had already packed up their things and continued south along the river.

Along the way, the policeman kept looking back and asked, ”Do you think that person will continue to follow us?”

”It shouldn't be. He knows we were prepared and almost killed him, so he might still be following us. But it won't be that easy if he wants to make a move against us!”

”That's true, we're not that easy to mess with either!” I almost caught him last night, and scared him half to death! ”Hahaha.”

Fang Zishu ignored him, carefully studying the map with the dog-skin book. After that, he continued to compare the map with his surroundings, constantly adjusting his direction.

After the continuous torrential rain from a few days ago, the weather was exceptionally good. The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, causing the two of them to be extremely hot.

”No, let's rest for a while before we go!” I can't walk anymore! ”

The policeman sat on the ground and refused to get up.

Even the prescription could not hold out any longer. ”Alright, then let's rest for a while and get some food.”

”Alright!”

The moment he heard he needed to eat something, the waiter immediately got up and scuttled off to find firewood. The prescription book also took out sausages and bacon from his backpack and set up a small iron pot. Soon, a pot of fragrant broth was prepared.

”Who's the one who gets a good night's sleep first in this dream? I know my own life. Grass Hall sleeps in spring, and outside the window, days are running late!”

As the two of them were enjoying the delicious soup, a clear voice rang out from behind them. When they looked back, they saw a tall and thin man in his fifties, wearing sunglasses and a backpack.

”Is that him?”
