After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 833 Don't play dumb with me, the path Mao Liu led.

Noticing the movement behind her, Jiang Hanying looked up and met the eyes of her cheap master, who was standing behind her looking down.

He waved his phone in his hand, his eyebrows curving into a smile. "Am I smart?"

Li Chengxiao watched her perform this whole thing and was quite impressed. He reached out and ruffled her still-wet hair, saying in a humorous tone, "I've never seen anyone smarter than you. How did you grow such a small head!"

"hey-hey!"

Yue Qingfeng, who had been tirelessly making phone calls in the middle of the night, said, "...I'm hanging up!"

The first person I called was Li Jingmo.

When the call came in the first time, he was busy on his way and didn't hear the chaotic footsteps of the crowd at all. After the call automatically ended, he had to call a second time.

Li Jingmo heard it the second time, and even took out his phone to look at it as he walked. But when he saw that it was an unfamiliar number from out of town, his first reaction was that it was a scam, so he hung up immediately. He cursed in his heart that scammers these days are really dedicated, still busy committing scams in the middle of the night.

Yue Qingfeng, whose call was disconnected: "..."

I gritted my teeth and changed my number.

Lin Shuangshuang heard the ringtone the first time the phone rang. She took out her phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Instead of hanging up immediately, she carefully checked the number's location. Just as she was hesitating whether to answer, she heard Li Jingmo, who was walking next to her, say, "You got a call too?"

"Hmm, an unfamiliar number."

"I just received one too, wait, don't hang up yet!" Li Jingmo paused, took out his phone, found the number he had hung up on, and then turned to look at Lin Shuangshuang's phone screen.

This pair is exactly the same from beginning to end.

The two exchanged a glance, and Lin Shuangshuang pressed the answer button without thinking. Finding it too noisy, she then turned on the speakerphone.

On the other end, Yue Qingfeng said, "You guys finally accepted it!"

He's had it so tough!
Lin Shuangshuang, ignoring her surprise, asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong...?"

"Don't talk, listen to me. The people you're looking for are all safe and sound. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. They're in the underground river at the bottom of the mountain right now. Just follow the river downstream to look for them; they shouldn't have swum very far. Alright, this old man is going to sleep now, bye!"

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Lin Shuangshuang called out twice, then heard a busy tone from the receiver, "Hang up."

Li Jingmo took her phone and dialed back, wanting to ask more questions, but heard a message from the receiver indicating that the phone was switched off.

Yue Qingfeng: He said he'd go to sleep without hesitation.

As soon as I closed my eyes and turned over, my phone, which had already been turned off, rang again.

He moved his lips, resignedly sat up, and picked up his phone: "I've already notified them. It took three calls to get through. You two just need to wait patiently, they should be able to find us soon. Is there anything else?"

What is your relationship with Yuan Qingzhuo?

I was so busy having the old man notify my older brother and Sister Shuangshuang that I didn't have time to ask. Now that we're waiting for someone to come looking for us, and since we're just killing time anyway, I might as well call and bother them a bit more.

As for whether disturbing an elderly person's rest in the middle of the night is morally wrong, it doesn't matter; she has no psychological burden about it at all.

"Yuan Qingzhuo? Who's that?"

Jiang Hanying chuckled coldly, "Still playing dumb with me? I ran into Him while I was out on business, and He immediately sensed that I had the Mirror Abyss Stone you gave me. I don't believe you two aren't familiar with each other!"

After a moment, a voice came from the other end: "Okay, I admit I do know Him, but He is Him, and I am me."

"So clearly distinguished?"

"You'll find out later. I promise I won't hurt you."

After hanging up, Yue Qingfeng took his phone to the yard outside and closed the doors and windows tightly before finally letting out a sigh of relief. It was finally quiet!
If it were just Jiang Hanying on her own, it's hard to guarantee that if she couldn't get through on the phone, she wouldn't impulsively use her spatial ring to teleport right in front of him.

But with Li Chengxiao involved, given his cautious nature, he wouldn't need to worry about waking up to find someone standing in front of his bed. Jiang Hanying glanced at the disconnected phone and let out a soft hum.

He won't harm her, but he will take advantage of her!
Li Chengxiao took the phone from her hand, which looked like it was about to explode from being squeezed. After the other person turned around and glared at him, he patted his thigh and said, "Want to take a nap?"

The ruffled fur was smoothed out in a flash. "Mmm."

on the ground.

Li Jingmo and Lin Shuangshuang didn't hesitate for long, nor did they bother to check where the number came from. They decided to try the information the old man had given them over the phone.

Rather than believing they were trapped under the collapsed mountain, they preferred to believe that the person was waiting for them in the underground river.

The team, which was still moving forward, was temporarily halted. Lin Shuangshuang briefly explained the information she had just received from the phone call. Seeing that Hummingbird and the others' dark faces brightened up, she said, "There shouldn't be any life-threatening danger in the underground river, but we can't stay in that environment for too long. Right now, we need to quickly analyze the course of the underground river in this area and find out where we can enter it."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the approving expressions of the group standing before her, then fell upon the face of the person at the very back of the line, and she suddenly paused.

Mao Liu met Lin Shuangshuang's gaze, pursed his lips, and took a few steps forward. "I'm fairly familiar with the terrain here. If you still trust me, then come with me."

Lin Shuangshuang stared at her for several seconds, then said, "Lead the way!"

Upon receiving the reply, Mao Liu didn't hesitate and turned around to walk in one direction without a second thought.

Lin Shuangshuang took the lead and followed in her footsteps. Seeing this, Li Jingmo raised his hand to the rest of the group and said, "Follow me."

However, the landslide also affected the underground river below to some extent.

Some passages leading to the underground river have been blocked by boulders or numerous pebbles that have rolled down or crashed down.

Mao Liu's search team worked tirelessly until late into the night before finally clearing a narrow passage to enter the underground river. They followed the water flow and searched all the way until they finally saw a small flame and swirling smoke. The anxiety they had felt all night finally began to subside.

Li Jingmo, his head spinning, blurted out, "Shu Heng, Han Ying!"

Hearing the shout, Li Chengxiao moved the leg that was being pressed down, opened his eyes and looked up, "Brother."

"Wow!"

Li Jingmo used the rocks to climb ashore, his whole body drenched in water, and quickly walked to his younger brother. Looking down, he saw Jiang Hanying with her head resting on his brother's lap, her half-exposed face flushed from sleep. The words of concern that were on the tip of his tongue inexplicably failed him.

Everyone simply climbed ashore and rested for a while.

Just before leaving, Li Chengxiao woke Jiang Hanying, who was fast asleep, saying, "It's time to go!"

Jiang Hanying rubbed her eyes and sat up. When she looked up, she met several pairs of eyes staring at her. Her reaction was incredibly calm. "How did you find me?"

Lin Shuangshuang pointed and said, "This time we owe it all to Mao Liu; she led the way."

Jiang Hanying looked over and smiled at Mao Liu, who subconsciously shrank his neck.

Mao Liu: Let's stop laughing, it's kind of creepy!

Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart.

After a brief rest and extinguishing the fire, everyone went back into the water and retraced their steps through the passage they had cleared earlier. By the time they finally returned to the cliff, it was already dawn.

After changing out of her wet clothes and eating something to replenish her energy, Jiang Hanying chewed on the candy that Lin Shuangshuang fed her, walked over to Lin Yuanyin who was still unconscious, sat cross-legged, and started touching her.

They'll touch you from head to toe, making sure to be meticulous down to every single bone.

Mao Liu, who was always on high alert and had been watching her movements intentionally or unintentionally: "..."

Someone is acting like a hooligan, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?
