Chapter 956 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 44
Anyway, if I'm not going to rip off Jude Kao's money, I might as well.
She, one of their own, made Xie Yuchen happy.
Therefore, he didn't even ask Gu Wusi why he knew the route.
The main problem is that I couldn't get any answers from asking, so I simply stopped asking.
"What gifts can you bring back for your family?"
When asked about this, Gu Wusi smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret for now."
She had planned this all along. Having visited the Queen Mother of the West's Palace several times in previous worlds, she was determined to bring back some local specialties this time.
"Okay, I'm just a little curious," Xie Yuchen said with a light laugh.
Gu Wusi didn't reveal that she had a novel idea that was both in line with the original owner's personality and fun.
Those who were looking for people have gradually returned.
When Hei Xiazi returned, he saw the two sitting together, chatting and laughing.
He had originally intended to walk to the side to rest, but instead turned and walked towards them.
"What are you talking about? Tell the blind man what you're talking about." He sat down between the two of them.
"I just told you I earned double your commission." Gu Wusi didn't hide it from him, wanting to see his pained expression over the money.
"What? How did you earn that?"
He was indeed very interested.
"To act as a guide and lead the way."
"That's it?" Black Bear asked in disbelief.
If he had known money was so easy to make, he would have led people around and earned another share.
"Hmm, do you feel like you've lost out?" Gu Wusi smiled as she looked at his expression, knowing exactly what he was thinking.
"We lost big this time, we've lost half the money."
Gu Wusi didn't believe he had only earned half less.
He didn't just take money from A Ning; there might be other people involved besides Wu Sansheng.
"You know the way too?" Xie Yuchen asked him.
Upon hearing this, Black Bear laughed and said, "Master Flower is joking. How would I know?"
As for how Gu Wusi knew that she knew the way, and how she knew the way.
He adjusted his sunglasses, trying to console himself that she was always mysterious.
Gu Wusi himself didn't understand why he went down into the tomb or why he entered the bronze door.
I did ask the mute about it, but he was truly mute at that time, and I couldn't get any information out of him no matter what I asked.
Everyone has secrets anyway, and he doesn't need to pry into them all.
Although being interested in someone who is unknown is dangerous, if he can control himself, he won't get too deeply involved.
Hei Xiazi had already realized that his attention was always unconsciously drawn to her.
Xie Yuchen was speechless. Who would believe he didn't know, given how he looked just now?
Zhang Qiling was sitting not far away, and Wu Xie was talking to him.
He listened without answering, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Gu Wusi and the other two.
They were speaking in a way that they could hear clearly.
After counting the number of people, Ah Ning told everyone to get on the bus and find a place to camp for the night.
The first night in the desert passed peacefully.
*
Gu Wusi began to lead the way, and his speed was naturally impressive.
Midway through their journey, they encountered Fatty and Panzi, who had arrived at the scene.
Aning told Dingzhuo Ma and the others to stay at the camp and wait for them to return, while she led her men to follow Gu Wusi.
Gu Wusi led everyone down the same path that led down the cliff into the rainforest.
Because they weren't chased by the corpse beetles this time, their travel speed was much faster, and their physical exertion was naturally reduced.
They didn't stop once they reached the rainforest; they continued walking deeper into it.
After walking for most of the day, everyone finally stopped to rest by a stream.
Ah Ning felt uncomfortable after sweating profusely. Looking at the cool water in the stream, she went over to wash her hands and face.
Gu Wusi, who was sitting on a large rock, watched her movements, then stood up and walked over.
Seeing her, Ah Ning said while washing her hands, "At our current pace..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a splash from the water as Gu Wusi pulled a snake out of the water.
"Watch out!!" Zhang Qiling turned his head and saw the situation in the water, and almost simultaneously shouted a warning.
He had just seen the snake leap up before it was caught.
He was about to throw the knife, but he withdrew his hand after seeing Gu Wusi catch the snake.
Upon hearing Zhang Qiling's voice, everyone turned to look, paying attention to Gu Wusi's behavior.
Black Bear took a few steps forward and became serious: "Gu Wusi, throw away the pheasant neck you're holding. This snake is highly venomous."
Xie Yuchen watched Gu Wusi looking at the snake, then at A Ning who was pausing to look at herself, her mind wandering.
"You're not going to take this snake back as a gift for your family, are you?"
Thinking of Gu Wusi's manner when he said he would bring back a gift, Xie Yuchen had a sudden inspiration.
Gu Wusi smiled upon hearing this: "You guessed right."
Although this is also by the stream, it is not the original location of Aning's death, but due to the butterfly effect, it is inevitable that there will also be pheasant necks.
That's why I came over just now.
This is perfect timing; the local specialty she's been waiting for has arrived.
The fat man exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness! Miss, you're sending a poisonous snake to your family? How have they been abusing you?!"
Wu Xie and Pan Zi were also incredulous, unable to understand the young lady's way of doing things.
"Ah Ning, are you alright?" The people Ah Ning brought naturally paid their first attention to their team leader.
Ah Ning's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she didn't speak immediately, as if she hadn't quite recovered yet.
"A-Ning, what's wrong?" Wu Xie glanced at her and felt that she seemed a bit off.
Ah Ning slowly came to her senses, her whole body drenched in sweat: "Just now, this snake was aimed at my neck, and I almost died."
At that moment, she instinctively felt that she couldn't escape it.
It was only when Gu Wusi made the sound of water that she noticed the snake; otherwise, she wouldn't have seen it, let alone avoided it.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Gu Wusi, her gaze lingering on the snake in her hand.
"Thank you so much just now. I'll personally double the amount for you."
She was now somewhat glad that she had made the decision to pay Gu Wusi to guide her.
"You're welcome, I'll accept the money," Gu Wusi said with a smile.
Making money easily has always felt great.
Hei Xiazi looked at Gu Wusi and seemed determined to take the snake back. He was not only bold but also had a unique idea.
He seemed to find it even more amusing: "Even if you're not afraid of the snake, are you sure your family won't be scared?"
Gu Wusi pinched the snake's vital spot, and with his other hand, he extended his index finger and tapped the snake's forehead.
"I will train it a bit, so that the novelty of seeing it will outweigh the fear in my family."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen asked curiously, "How do we train it? Do we have it perform a talent for everyone?"
"More or less, let me show you first."
Gu Wusi looked around and turned the snake's head toward Xie Yuchen: "Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua."
Xie Yuchen felt that she didn't seem to be calling him, so he didn't respond to see what she wanted.
