Ye Tiancheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and then sighed, "Alas, thinking back on this matter now, I still feel a bit of lingering fear. If only I had discovered this earlier, it would have been better. No matter what, I wouldn't have let you act alone with that person. It would have been better if the three of us had gone together then, perhaps it would have been better."
"Fortunately, little fox, you didn't have any accidents. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. It's true that we appeared in strange places, and those who are together should not separate."
Little Fox immediately looked at Ye Tiancheng. He didn't actually blame Ye Tiancheng for anything. Rather, he was extremely happy that Ye Tiancheng treated him with such an attitude.
After all, having gone through such a terrible situation, Little Fox knew that he himself had many doubts, and yet he couldn't prove his innocence to Ye Tiancheng. At times, even Little Fox himself couldn't help but suspect if there was really something wrong with him. That feeling was truly terrible, and Little Fox didn't want to experience it a second time.
Little Fox comforted Ye Tiancheng, saying, "Brother Ye, what happened was all an accident. It was because of that strange stone, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you. This has nothing to do with Brother Ye."
Ye Tiancheng, however, looked dejected, shook his head, and gazed at Little Fox with an exceptionally complex mood. He didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with him. If he hadn't been investigating the whereabouts of the Nuwa Stone, and if it hadn't been for him, both Fatty and Little Fox wouldn't have come here, nor would they have encountered these current events. How could it be said that he had nothing to do with it?
However, Little Fox was kindly comforting him, and Ye Tiancheng didn't want to instill those negative thoughts into Little Fox, so he didn't voice his thoughts to Little Fox.
The situation was already bad enough. He couldn't confide these heavy burdens like a child, and if even he panicked, Little Fox would definitely feel uneasy.
"It's nothing, really. I'm just very worried about Fatty. His temper can be a bit fiery sometimes, easily provoked, and not careful enough. I'm very afraid that he might not discover some things and then something will happen. But being overly sentimental is useless. We should do more practical things and rescue Fatty as soon as possible."
Little Fox also agreed with Ye Tiancheng. Then Ye Tiancheng changed the subject, shifting the topic to more important matters. He said to Little Fox, "It's more important to focus on the task at hand. Since you didn't see the real situation over there at the time, let's go over there together and take another look at the situation."
"Okay, Brother Ye. But Brother Ye, quite some time has passed since you and that person went over there. What if those people have already been carried away by wild beasts, or something else has happened?"
Ye Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. It's better than not looking at all. And even if they have been carried away by wild beasts, there will always be some other traces left at the scene. We might be able to find some clues, so we should still go and see. It won't be a wasted trip."
Since Ye Tiancheng had already said so, Little Fox naturally walked ahead seriously, leading the way for Ye Tiancheng. With Ye Tiancheng following behind him, Little Fox felt almost no fear. He had great faith that Ye Tiancheng would protect him.
As for Ye Tiancheng following behind him, if even Ye Tiancheng encountered any trouble, then Little Fox felt that he himself would definitely not be spared. Therefore, no matter what, there wasn't much difference. He only needed to focus on leading the way, trusting Ye Tiancheng in any case.
The two of them walked together in the forest. It was actually quite boring, and both of them were preoccupied with their thoughts. As Little Fox walked, he couldn't help but start chatting with Ye Tiancheng. If he were to let his mind wander alone, he would be unable to stop himself from worrying about Fatty's situation, and he tended to overthink. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Brother Ye, it's about that strange dream I told you about before. I dreamed that Fatty, you, and I were eating in a dilapidated house. That dream was incredibly vivid. Anyway, I felt like I ate a cucumber in the dream, and after I woke up, I felt as if I had really eaten a cucumber."
"Do you think it's possible that the scene I dreamed of is what Fatty is actually experiencing? Fatty is in another place, and that place also has a you and a me."
Little Fox once again brought up the dream he had to Ye Tiancheng. He was really concerned about that dream. That dream made him very uneasy. Clearly, he had only entered the dream for a moment and woke up quickly. He couldn't help but feel that there was something very strange at that time, and the information at the time was too scarce to allow him to understand what Fatty was currently experiencing.
"Brother Ye, when you were resting before, did you have any dreams? Did you also dream about those things, about Fatty? I can't help but care about that dream, but I don't know why."
Little Fox's words reminded Ye Tiancheng of what had happened when he was resting before. He hadn't dared to truly fall asleep then, only wanting to rest with his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, he did fall asleep, and he also had a dream.
However, Ye Tiancheng's dream was not as clear and real as Little Fox's dream. He couldn't recall what he had dreamed about. He only had a vague impression, feeling as if he had dreamed of Fatty and Little Fox, but it seemed like it wasn't just them, but also Fatty and Little Fox, and he felt like there were others.
Does this mean that where Fatty is, there are other people? In fact, this is very possible, because in reality, there are also other people present here with him and Little Fox, not just that fake Fatty.
Although Ye Tiancheng himself hadn't encountered it, Little Fox had seen with the fake Fatty that other people were being hunted and killed by wild beasts. This was enough to prove that there were other people in this forest.
However, as he carefully recalled the feeling of the dream, Ye Tiancheng vaguely felt that the feeling of other people appearing around Fatty was not like their current situation. Instead, it gave Ye Tiancheng a feeling that Fatty was currently in a situation of being surrounded by wolves.
Ye Tiancheng vaguely felt that the people who appeared around Fatty seemed not to be... not like humans. But he couldn't remember his dream clearly, so he couldn't explain the dream to Little Fox.
"Little Fox, I actually have a guess about this, after hearing you say you had such a dream," Ye Tiancheng replied to Little Fox with a heavy heart.
"I also care a lot about that dream. Before, when I was resting, I was worried that you wouldn't dare to sleep and were just resting with your eyes closed, but for some reason, I also fell asleep, and it seems I had a dream."
"But the difference between me and you is that I can't recall what I dreamed about at all. Anyway, I feel very uneasy, but I agree with your point of view. I also think it's very possible that what you dreamed of is what Fatty is truly experiencing."
When Little Fox heard Ye Tiancheng say that he had also dreamed of Fatty, he felt that this possibility was becoming greater and greater. Although Ye Tiancheng said he couldn't remember the dream's content clearly, Little Fox wouldn't doubt Ye Tiancheng because of it.
After all, it was a dream, and everyone knew that most of the time, people couldn't remember what they dreamed about after waking up, or could only remember a part of it. Being able to remember the dream's content completely was very rare. Therefore, it was very normal for Ye Tiancheng to be unable to recall the dream's content after waking up.
Moreover, Little Fox thought of another possibility, "Brother Ye, I suddenly thought, if this is an illusion, and there is some existence, most likely that stone, which is influencing our thoughts, could it also influence some of our memories, including our dreams?"
"If you can't remember the content of your dream, could it be that you dreamed of some crucial content, or something very important? Anyway, it's very important, and then that existence doesn't want you to remember what you dreamed of. Do you think there's such a possibility?"
Little Fox proposed this guess to Ye Tiancheng. After hearing it, Ye Tiancheng thought about it carefully, nodded, and agreed, "What you said is also very possible. This possibility is also very great. In this ghost place, anything seems possible."
"I don't know if I can dream of Fatty's situation again if I fall asleep again. It would be great if I could see more of Fatty's situation, or if the dream could be longer, to tell Fatty the truth, so that Fatty can also be on guard and protect himself."
Little Fox's idea was a bit too naive. However, if it were really possible, Ye Tiancheng also hoped that this idea of Little Fox could come true.
"If only it could be like that, but things might not be that simple. However, now is not a suitable time to rest. Let's wait for the next opportunity to rest, and then we can try again. When we rest, if anyone can dream of Fatty again and have the chance to speak to him, we will tell him all these things."
Little Fox nodded seriously, "If I can dream of Fatty again, I will do my best to explain everything clearly to Fatty. Even saying one more word would be good. If I can still remember the dream's content after waking up, I will definitely tell you again, Brother Ye. Let's go and see the scene we saw before. We'll talk about other things later."
Thus, the conversation between Little Fox and Ye Tiancheng temporarily came to an end. After all, at this point, overthinking was useless. It was better to focus on doing the immediate task as soon as possible. They could only pray in their hearts for Fatty's safety until they arrived to rescue him, whether it was Ye Tiancheng or Little Fox.
