Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 953 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 41

"Me too. Why are you all here?"

"Xiaohua and I found out..."

Gu Wusi didn't pay attention to what the two said after that.

She looked Zhang Qiling up and down, which made him somewhat puzzled.

Because she often teases him and makes him talk more, Zhang Qiling eventually chimes in: "What are you looking at?"

"Let's see if you've suffered these past few days."

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat puzzled, and Xie Yuchen looked at the two of them with a sense of unease.

When did Gu Wusi and Zhang Qiling become so close?

Zhang Qiling was also a little puzzled. Although they were quite familiar with each other, he had never seen her show such direct concern for him before.

He stared at her intently for several moments, trying to find the answer, and a slight ripple stirred within him.

Gu Wusi didn't think too much about it. She now completely regarded Zhang Qiling as her benefactor, and she came here to repay his kindness.

"Miss Gu is also coming into the desert with us?" Aning glanced at everyone's expressions, breaking the strange atmosphere.

"Yes, Miss Aning, you don't mind, do you?"

She asked verbally if she minded, but there was no hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"Of course I don't mind." Thinking back to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, this person had even saved their people.

Aning naturally wouldn't refuse, and besides, whether there was one more or one less person entering the desert made no difference to her.

“Then Miss Aning, you don’t mind having two more people,” Xie Yuchen said as he walked over.

“Okay, but you all have to listen to me,” A-Ning said, glancing at him and Huo Xiuxiu.

Upon hearing this, neither Xie Yuchen nor Gu Wusi seemed to care.

"No problem."

Since they were only traveling together temporarily, they each had their own plans.

After Huo Xiuxiu finished talking with Wu Xie, she came to find them.

"Wu Xie said he received two videotapes before he came, and I got some clues from them. I remembered that my grandma also had a lot of videotapes, so I thought I'd go back and look at them. I'm not going with you this time."

"If you've thought it through, then drive slowly." Gu Wusi had no objections.

In the original storyline, Huo Xiuxiu didn't go either.

If I go with them this time, it would be bad if something unexpected happened if I wasn't careful.

"That's fine, we'll split up and go our separate ways. Be careful on your way back," Xie Yuchen also reminded him.

"Okay, Wusi, Brother Xiaohua, I'll be going now." Huo Xiuxiu got into the car.

"Why are you walking so fast? You must have driven a long time to get here. Why don't you rest for the night before you leave?"

Wu Xie heard the noise and came over to see what was going on.

"No, Brother Wu Xie, I can find a hotel to stay at tonight." Huo Xiuxiu said, and then started the car.

"Well, Xiuxiu, bye-bye."

Not long after everyone waited, Hei Xiazi returned from Lancuo, bringing back a porcelain plate with a map of the desert.

Seeing that Gu Wusi was also there, he walked over, put his hand on her shoulder, and said, "We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you've already appeared in front of me again."

"Can't you keep a normal distance when you talk to people?" Xie Yuchen said to Hei Xiazi before Gu Wusi could react.

Zhang Qiling also looked at Hei Xiazi's behavior with some disapproval.

Seeing their reactions, Black Bear chuckled, his eyes behind his sunglasses narrowing slightly—a habit he had when he started to think.

"Why are you all so nervous? The person involved hasn't even spoken yet."

Gu Wusi rolled her eyes at him and pulled her hand away, saying, "A-Ning wants you to go in and discuss something."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Xie Yuchen asked, understanding her meaning.

"I'll go later."

Gu Wusi did not join the discussion about the route with the others.

She made an excuse to take a bottle of gasoline from the tent where supplies were stored, and then started to wander around the neighborhood.

Only those who were watching her noticed that she went into the woods.

However, I just assumed she was going to the restroom and didn't think much of it at the moment.

Gu Wusi walked a short but not too far path, seemingly aimless, but in fact his goal and direction were clear.

Soon, another camp came into view.

She stealthily approached, poured gasoline on a tent containing supplies and provisions, and then set it on fire.

Before the fire spread completely, she also isolated the area to delay the arrival of firefighters.

Gu Wusi deliberately fenced off this campsite, using it as a boundary, with the firebreak outside.

In this way, even a large fire won't spread outside.

It wasn't until the entire tent was engulfed in flames, which quickly spread to the entire camp, that someone noticed and went to put out the fire.

Gu Wusi stood at a distance, arms crossed, watching.

Xiao Qi: "Host, are you taking revenge on them?"

"It's both a bit of retaliation and a small warning, letting them know that even rats in the gutter can capsize, and that they shouldn't think they can do whatever they want just by hiding in the back. It's not like no one is watching their actions."

She was somewhat dissatisfied with the Wang family for bringing her to Tamutuo, even though the photo they sent was useful to her.

But she doesn't like this passive approach; she only wants to come if she's willing and takes the initiative.

"Well done, but host, you should go back now. The smoke rising into the air here has already attracted everyone's attention."

"Well, go back."

Gu Wusi took a detour and returned from the other side.

Everyone was now standing outside the tent, looking in the direction of the fire.

As she walked toward the group, she heard Wu Xie say, "Why is there a fire over there? Let's call the police."

Ah Ning wasn't in a hurry: "Wait for my people to check the situation and come back before we talk about it."

Seeing Gu Wusi return from the woods, she asked suspiciously, "Where did you go? Why were you gone for so long?"

Everyone else's attention was also focused on Gu Wusi.

"My period never comes early or late, and it even picked a particular day to come," Gu Wusi said without changing his expression.

"What is your aunt doing here?" Wu Xie blurted out before he could even react.

Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Wu Xie is truly innocent and naive."

Those who understood laughed, and some foreigners who didn't understand joined in the laughter.

Gu Wusi took a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth before he could suppress a laugh.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wu Xie realized he had made a fool of himself and blushed instantly.

Therefore, he stopped speaking and stopped looking at everyone's reactions; all he wanted to do now was find a hole to crawl into.

Xie Yuchen was right next to him, a smile on his face, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Wu Xie was somewhat relieved that Fatty wasn't there, otherwise he would have been constantly teased and joked about by him.

Because of this funny little incident, Gu Wusi's attention was temporarily diverted.

Of course, she wasn't afraid of others suspecting that she did it, since there was no evidence.

Whether she wants to speak out or not is entirely up to her.

After Aning's people returned, everyone learned about the situation there: a camp had suddenly caught fire for some unknown reason.
