While thinking, Qiao Wen couldn’t help but glance at Chen Jianan’s abdomen.

There was still a bit of a lingering fear, when thinking of the thrilling night before. There was only a slight difference between life and death, perhaps this guy’s life might have been buried in the tropical jungle.

He admitted the price was a bit steep.

He raised his head to look at Chen Jianan. Although this guy still had a pale face, his expression had already returned to his usual dangling, he clearly left the matter of stepping into the gate of a ghost to the back of his head.

Qiao Wen had to express his admiration for his open-mindedness. Of course, open-mindedness is just a nice way of saying, objectively speaking, this should be called lack of heart and lungs.

However, it was always good to be open-minded.

If people from this kind of background couldn’t be open-minded, and carefree, then it would be hard to live life happily, like the original Qiao Wen.

Chen Jianan was a restless character, he was able to be honest in his sleep, but after the long sleep, even his toes were ready to move.

Others forgot the pain when their scars healed, but he disregarded the pain.

However, Qiao Wen, together with Jiang Yufeng and Azhi, gave him a strict grounding order, firmly not allowing him to move out of the ground.

Before he could even open his mouth to try to resist, their stern gaze suppressed him, and he obediently half leaned on the wall.

Ajiao had made breakfast, and the aroma of steaming soup noodles was overwhelming.

Due to Chen Jianan’s injury and making him move less, Ajiao specially gave him a small wooden stool to put his bowl on, while the others feasted around the dining table.

Ajiao was a passionate girl, especially for Qiao Wen. Although Azhi was required to act as a translator, it did not affect her interest in communicating with Qiao Wen in the slightest.

At first, Azhi was still conscientious to act as a translator, but at the end of the day, he couldn’t help it, even his tone began to change, pointing to a plate of fried fish on the table, saying: “Awen, Ajiao asks why you don’t eat this fish, do you think it tastes not good?”

He blinked his eyes deliberately as he spoke, with a smirk on his face.

But Qiao Wen was calm, not embarrassed by teasing, just picked up a piece of fish and put it in a bowl, and said, “It’s delicious.”

Seeing this, Ajiao stretched out her chopsticks and put another piece into his bowl, whispering.

If it weren’t for fear of girls being embarrassed, Azhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He said, “Ajiao said since it’s delicious, eat more.”

Qiao Wen looked at her across the table and nodded with a smile. “Thank you”.

Chen Jianan, who was eating alone in the floor area, gradually couldn’t stand the sight.

Xiao Qiao used to be shy when talking to girls, but now he was flirting with a big girl. That’s it.

The wounded man who could not stand to be left out let down his chopsticks with an ouch.

They turned to him in union.

“What’s wrong? Brother Nan.” Qiao Wen asked.

Chen Jianan sucked in the cold air and said, “It hurts, the wound hurts when I put force on my hand.”

Hearing this. Qiao Wen hurriedly picked up the bowl in his hand, drank a big mouthful of soup, put the bowl down again, wiped his mouth and said: “You guys eat, I’ll feed Brother Nan.”

“Why don’t I do it?” Jiang Yufeng asked from the side.

Qiao Wen shook his head: “No need.”

Chen Jianan looked at him and said, “You bring your bowl here, just feed me and eat it, don’t let it cool down.”

After thinking of this possibility, Qiao Wen moved to his side with the bowl. Likewise the two people sat face to face to have breakfast, while the other four remained around the table.

Chen Jianan leaned against the wooden wall behind him, enjoying Qiao Wen’s attentive service with satisfaction. At the same time, he didn’t forget to remind him after taking two bites: “You eat too.”

Jiang Yufeng glanced at the two guys, and shook his head amusedly. “Even the blood-brothers didn’t have such a good relationship like these two boys.”

Azhi also agreed with a smile: “Indeed, my brother and I have been fighting since we were young, and now we can’t contact each other a few times a year.”

Chen Jianan was a little proud: “That’s because Xiao Qiao is so good, and I love him, otherwise you see my silly cousin Haozi, every three days once he can’t wait to get a good beating from me.”

Qiao Wen laughed: “Yeah, you’ve been nice these days. Be honest and take care of your injuries.”

“Got it.”

Jiang Yufeng smiled lightly and said, “I don’t know if Awen is good or not, but this trip showed your brother’s capability. I originally thought he was a timid and weak child. Unexpectedly, he hid his talent deeply. It is your blessing to have such a younger brother.”

Qiao Wen said quietly: “Brother Feng is too acclaimed.”

Chen Jianan stretched out his hand to reach his shoulders triumphantly. Unexpectedly, before he could touch him, he pulled the wound on his abdomen, groaning with pain.

“I’ve told you to be honest” Qiao Wen said with a frown.

Chen Jianan shrank his neck with a guilty conscience, and sighed: “Don’t say, the taste of this shot is really enjoyable, and I will be able to brag about this in our walled city for a while.”

Qiao Wen pulled the corner of his mouth silently.

Ajiao didn’t understand what they were talking about, but guessed that the protagonists of this topic were injured Chen Jianan and Qiao Wen. So she listened attentively, especially when Qiao Wen spoke, she stared at him with a smile, as if looking at people will be able to understand the meaning.

Qiao Wen didn’t feel anything wrong with such gazes, but Chen Jianan was a little bit on the verge of a formidable enemy.

After the full meal, he almost recovered his spirits, but was banned to stay in the home to recover honestly. So he could only watch the three getting ready and led by Ajiao to stroll the village. 

“Um…I think I can walk, too.” Seeing them already crossing the threshold, he couldn’t help but yell at last.

Qiao Wen turned around to Anan who was about to get up, and said with a pretty face: “Be honest!”

“Oh.” Having no choice, Chen Jianan shrank back reluctantly.

This small village had no more than a dozen households, all of which were simple wooden houses, and there were only 30 or 40 people in the whole village. Seeing a few strangers, the villagers all looked kind and enthusiastic. They looked very simple and honest, as if they really were in a peaceful paradise.

Even Jiang Yufeng couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s rare to be able to find such a place quickly, isolated from the world, in the midst of war and chaos.”

After showing around, Ajiao prepared to go home, but after a few steps, she suddenly noticed something was wrong, and when she looked back, she saw Qiao Wen standing in the same place, looking at the two men rubbing the grass rope in a trance.

She muttered something, but Qiao Wen didn’t respond as if he hadn’t heard it. It was Azhi who translated in Chinese: “Awen, Ajiao asked what are you doing? Why don’t you leave?”

Only then Qiao Wen returned to his senses, stepped forward to follow a few people, and said with a smile, “I just think your village is pretty good.”

Azhi truthfully translated to Ajiao: “Awen thinks your village is pretty good.”

Ajiao nodded and looked at Qiao Wen with a bright smile like a flower.

Azhi nudged Qiao Wen gently with his elbow, and said with a smirk: “Awen, I think this Ajiao sister really likes you and wants you to stay as a son-in-law.”

Qiao Wen laughed: “Don’t talk nonsense, you help me ask when they moved into the village?”

Azhi asked straightforwardly, and after getting A Jiao’s answer, he translated to Qiao Wen, “Said it was more than a year ago.”

Qiao Wen nodded thoughtfully, and secretly looked at the passing villagers as he walked.

He originally thought that this village was just what Ajiao had said, to escape from the war they came to live here in seclusion and dare to take in them, unidentified Chinese, simply because of the simple folk customs. But just after turning around, he realized that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he was not too sure for a while.

All in all, this village should not be that simple.
