Chapter 139 The best way to relax
The two didn't chat much in the open frequency band. The other party simply hinted that Jessie's two friends had successfully contacted David Rossi and were currently in a safe situation.
"Got it, man, there are a lot of fire ants here. Remember to bring more insecticide when you come to see me tomorrow, OVER."
Jack believed that the other party could understand his hint.
"No problem, man, we will bring enough pesticides, and they will be so strong that you will not believe it. By the way, the cell tower near you is just broken. It will be repaired tomorrow morning, probably between 8 and 9 o'clock. , wait for our call then, OVER.”
With that said, the two parties ended the communication. Jack was a little confused. What did the phone call mean? It is impossible for the Americans to build a base station in such a ghost place for another ten years, but it is certain that someone will find a way to contact him around 8-9 o'clock tomorrow.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jack looked around. He had to find a place to spend the night. He definitely couldn't stay in this shabby house. Safety came second, and the smell of corpses lingering in his nostrils was unbearable.
"Let's go. When we were on the mountain just now, we saw a watchtower upstream. Let's go to the tower and spend the night."
Jack took out the Wrangler's car key. He originally wanted to deflate the tires, but then he thought it was unnecessary. The other party could drive here, which meant that the trail behind could lead to the dirt road in the mountains and also to the evil. The family's mountain villa may need this car tomorrow.
The two continued to walk upstream along the river, and soon found the watchtower standing in the forest. The wooden tower looked old, but it seemed to be still very strong.
The top of the tower is a small wooden house with glass windows, about 20 meters above the ground.
"I'll go up and take a look first, while you stay on guard below."
After Jack finished speaking, he was about to climb up the ladder, but his arm was suddenly grabbed, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Afraid of heights?" Jack asked. He thought the girl was afraid that the watchtower was too high and did not dare to sleep on it at night.
"I want to go to the water to wash up first. I'm too dirty."
Maybe she had been too stimulated today. Along the way here, Jessie rarely took the initiative to speak. She basically followed what Jack said and what she did. She was so obedient that it made people feel distressed.
Now that she mentioned it like this, Jack felt itchy all over his body. He had indeed sweated a lot during the afternoon trek through mountains and rivers.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. He felt that it would still be some time before it was completely dark. He nodded and said, "Let's go together then. I'll be down soon."
According to Sam Eugene, ogres rarely move at night, and they need enough rest time to cope with mining and hunting activities during the day.
Jessie nodded and handed the bag of gold sand she had been holding to Jack.
"Hold this, it's too heavy."
In fact, this bag of gold sand really didn't weigh much, maybe less than a kilogram, which would only cost fifty or sixty thousand yuan in Daole, but Jessie used this way to express her trust and gratitude tactfully.
Jack didn't say anything more. He opened the hiking bag he was carrying and motioned for her to stuff it in. He didn't know when it started, but his purpose was no longer purely for gold.
Looking from the bottom up, the cabin at the top of the watchtower seemed very small, but when he got inside, it felt quite spacious, about five or six square meters.
Taking off the mountaineering bag from his shoulders, Jack checked a row of wooden racks on the wall. There were several cans, bottles of drinking water, a rusty first aid kit and some messy bottles and cans. Prepared by rangers.
Worried that Jessie would be in danger if she stayed down there alone, he didn't dare to wait too long. He took out a box of compressed towels and a bottle of mosquito repellent from his hiking bag, and climbed down the ladder.
The creek is not far away, and there are almost no river beaches here. A few steps out of the woods, Jack reaches the river. While holding a gun and keeping an eye on the surroundings, Jack looks for dead branches and fresh mugwort leaves in the grass beside the river, planning to make a fire. , drive away mosquitoes.
"Jack."
There was a soft call from behind, and Jack turned around. Under the hazy twilight, a flawless and graceful body stood in the river, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
——
Dividing line---
"Ah sneeze!"
Jessie sneezed so hard that she squeezed her trembling body into Jack's arms.
"Okay, the clothes are dry, put them on."
Jack rolled his eyes secretly, slapped his fair buttocks, and cast a healing spell.
The altitude here is more than a thousand meters. As the sun goes down, the temperature gradually drops to about ten degrees. It is still a bit chilly especially at night with the mountain wind.
He thought that Jessie said to go to the water to wash up and simply take care of personal hygiene. Unexpectedly, this silly girl didn't know where she got the courage to dare to dive directly into the water. If he hadn't had the skills to do it, Tomorrow I will probably have to serve a pneumonia patient.
But it's really a feast for the eyes, this figure is really not ordinary hot.
When the two climbed into the wooden house on the watchtower, it was completely dark. Because he was worried about being discovered at a high place, Jack didn't even turn on his flashlight. In the dim moonlight, he opened his backpack, rummaged through some food, and put it on the shelf. A few cans barely filled their stomachs.
Standing at the window, looking at the distant mountains under the moonlight, Jessie, wearing that thin coat, was in a daze.
"Get some rest early, don't think too much, it will all be over tomorrow."
Jack stood behind her and said with relief that everything that happened today was too exciting for this girl. It was the first time she saw someone die in front of her, the first time she faced an ogre, and the first time she killed someone.
"I just feel that I was as stupid as an idiot before today, and I actually shed tears for a man who was even more idiotic than me."
"If it weren't for me, Evan would still be alive and Frank wouldn't be in trouble. God, it's all because of me."
Tears kept pouring from her eyes, and the girl soon burst into tears.
"Hey girl."
Jack put his arm over her shoulder and looked into her tearful eyes, feeling a little nervous. He was not a verbal expert like John, and he couldn't touch a girl's emotional heart in just three or two sentences.
"Don't take unnecessary mistakes on yourself. You've done a good enough job. Don't forget that you killed two monsters and one villain today. Without you, I wouldn't be able to deal with so many opponents."
Jessie let out a cry and smiled, "Is this how you comfort people? Do you think I'm a child?"
"Get some rest quickly. You are very tired today and you need to relax as much as possible."
Jack really doesn't know how, and he rarely coaxes girls. After all, he is usually not the one who takes the initiative.
Jessie's eyes suddenly became wandering and she bit her lip gently, "Do you know what the best way to relax is?"
