Huh?

Chen Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and without thinking much, he quickly rushed over.

At this moment, Xiao Yiyi ran out from behind the bushes, holding her pants up, with a frightened expression on her face.

"What's wrong, Yiyi?" Chen Xuan hurried over to ask.

Xiao Yiyi raised her hand to point behind her, "Cousin-in-law, there are so many ants over there!"

"I got bitten, it burns and stings!"

Chen Xuan went to look, and it turned out to be a nest of red fire ants.

He couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated; this is what happens without wilderness survival experience.

Going to the bathroom isn't just about finding a secluded spot and everything is fine.

You also have to pay attention to the environment for any potential dangers.

Xiao Yiyi chose to go to the bathroom near the red fire ant nest. It's no wonder she got attacked.

"Where did you get bitten?" Chen Xuan asked, trying to suppress his laughter.

Xiao Yiyi pointed pitiably, "On my butt! Cousin-in-law, these red fire ants are perverts!"

Chen Xuan burst into laughter, "Who told you to be careless, and now you blame the ants for being perverts."

"Fortunately, I have ointment. Go apply it yourself."

Xiao Yiyi pouted, "Why am I so unlucky; why is it always me who gets hurt?"

Chen Xuan was amused again, "Oh, you wish to drag me into getting hurt along with you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yiyi laughed too, "Yeah, that's what they call sharing good times and bad times together."

"Alright, hurry and apply the medicine. Don't underestimate those red fire ants, they are venomous." Chen Xuan handed the ointment to Xiao Yiyi.

Xiao Yiyi flashed a mischievous smile, "How about... you apply it for me?"

"Shoo! You have hands, don't you?" Chen Xuan shot her a glance.

"Oh come on, I can't see back there; my eyes aren't on the back of my head," Xiao Yiyi giggled.

"Just do it by feeling!"

Chen Xuan ignored this clingy little mischievous one, who always managed to pull off tricks without any sense of shyness.

"You're given the opportunity but don't know how to take advantage of it," Xiao Yiyi pouted coyly, going off to apply the ointment.

After a brief rest, the two set off again.

Following the stream deeper into the mountains.

"Cousin-in-law, are there any wild beasts or birds in these deep mountains?" Xiao Yiyi asked a bit fearfully.

"There should be quite a few snakes here. Just stay close to me and don't worry." Chen Xuan replied softly.

Hearing about snakes, Xiao Yiyi instantly looked pale, as if fearing snakes was part of her DNA.

"Cousin-in-law, aren't you afraid of snakes?"

"I only eat snakes, what do you think?"

"Ah, you even dare to eat snakes? I can't imagine!"

Xiao Yiyi kept making faces, "Oh, cousin-in-law, there's a snake skin over there!"

"I see it, why yell? It's just a snake's shed skin, no biggie." Chen Xuan said, shaking his head as they walked.

Xiao Yiyi fell silent, sticking close behind Chen Xuan, looking visibly tense, fearing that she'd accidentally step on a snake.

Chen Xuan stopped, looking at Xiao Yiyi with a strange expression, "How about you walk in front of me?"

What?

Xiao Yiyi looked puzzled, "Cousin-in-law, you must be joking, right? If I walk in front...what if I run into a snake? Do you want to scare me to death!"

"Well, you're constantly kicking my heels, don't you feel it?" Chen Xuan said with a bit of frustration.

Xiao Yiyi gave a dry laugh, "I was kicking your heels? Maybe seeing the snake skin made me too nervous to notice."

Wow, kicked me several times and didn't notice.

Really surrender!

As they continued walking, they coincidentally saw a large python slithering away.

Xiao Yiyi was so frightened that her face turned pale as she covered her mouth, not daring to take a big breath.

Chen Xuan just laughed, deliberately shielding Xiao Yiyi behind him, letting the big python slither away into the distance.

"Okay, it's gone now."

"Look at how scared you are already? Aren't you the one who insisted on coming along? Do you regret it now?"

Chen Xuan teased deliberately.

Xiao Yiyi pouted and deliberately changed the subject, "Look who's talking, weren't you also afraid to move?"

"Weren't you just saying you eat snakes? Why didn't you catch it for roasting?"

Wow, so she can fight back, huh!

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "Don't you know what kind it is? That's a banded python, a national first-class protected animal, you can't just catch it to roast!"

Xiao Yiyi stuck out her tongue, "Cousin-in-law, you sure know a lot! I'm so impressed with you!"

"Come on, let's get going." Chen Xuan chuckled softly.

Before they knew it, night had fallen, and Chen Xuan set up the camping tent with care.

He sprinkled white powder around the area.

"Cousin-in-law, what's that for?" Xiao Yiyi asked curiously.

"Insect repellent! Mainly to ward off the red fire ants!"

Chen Xuan put away the bottle, "Alright, you can sleep peacefully. With me watching over, there's nothing to fear."

"After a whole day of hiking, I'm feeling sticky all over. I want to take a bath."

Xiao Yiyi looked at Chen Xuan, "Cousin-in-law, accompany me, I'm scared to go alone."

Chen Xuan's eyes instantly widened, "You need me to accompany you for a bath? Don't tempt me; I can't guarantee I'll stay composed."
