The sun gradually climbed high in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight quietly fell on Qiu Lan's face, and she rubbed her eyes lightly, her brows furrowed.

When she opened her eyes again, there was a small open area in front of her.

It's a small circle, and although it's still surrounded by reeds, at least there's some room to breathe.

Physically and mentally exhausted, Qiu Lan put down the board in her hand and let the boat stop here.

Suddenly, an idea that had sprung up in her mind came to her mind.

Light the reeds!

As long as she is in the center, the reed will not burn the boat even if it burns, she can guarantee safety, and this reed is deep and dense, if it suddenly catches fire, it will definitely be discovered!

Inadvertently, a little hope ignited in her heart, but soon this hope was shattered again.

In this bottomless lake, where could she find fire but this boat?

This is simply nonsense.

Suddenly, a touch of loss crossed Qiu Lan's eyes, she lowered her eyes and sighed softly, but the corner of her eyes just fell on the dial of her wrist.

"Sunlight, and this refractive glass dial. Qiu Lan twisted her brows and muttered, her eyes shining with a little light.

As long as it is noon, the sun's rays are a little stronger, and maybe they can ignite the reeds.

Holding on to the little hope left, Qiu Lan rowed a small boat to find the reeds facing the sun.

On the boat, she removed the watch from her wrist, lifted the board, and smashed it with all her might, so that the hands stopped turning in an instant and the dial cracked.

She found a slightly larger shard of glass, fastened it firmly with the tip of the reed, and deliberately fastened a few more pieces to increase the likelihood of burning.

After making all the preparations, Qiu Lan used all her strength to row the boat to the center.

Time passed, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of the wind blowing and the reeds rustling.

Loneliness, loneliness, panic, surging up in an instant, invaded Qiu Lan's body, she hugged herself tightly, curled up in the boat, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in her eyes.

She had no idea if it worked.

It's only April, and the sun's rays are dazzling, but the temperature is not high.

However, this was her only hope at the moment, so she could only stare at the few pieces of glass with her eyes full of hope, praying for a little fire.

Suddenly, a crisp birdsong sounded quietly, and she saw the bird flying overhead, her eyes flashing slightly.

If only she had a pair of wings now, she wouldn't be trapped here.

Who is going to trap her?

Gradually, Qiu Lan's body became more and more tired, and she lowered her eyes, her face full of sleepiness.

In a dim moment, she suddenly saw the note on the boat, which was the only clue.

She carefully picked up the note and put it in her bag.

Whether she makes it out of this reed lake alive or not, she has to keep this evidence well.

The wind was blowing, and Qiu Lan sat alone in a small boat, waiting for someone to find her, or the reeds were burning, while at the same time, in the village dozens of kilometers away, Li Shanghan and his party were still nervously asking for her information.

But all I got were clues that didn't help anything.

She was anxiously waiting, he was looking worriedly.

One minute, two minutes, an hour, two hours, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, but the reeds in front of me still did not react at all.

Qiu Lan, who was tired and weak, sighed lightly, lowered her eyes in disappointment, and touched her shriveled lips lightly, "How can it burn?" ”

Losing hope and not having any strength, Qiu Lan didn't have any energy to support it anymore, so she gradually bent down and fell on her side on the boat.

In a trance, Qiu Lan saw Li Shanghan, her dead parents, and the murderer, but it was just a back, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"Don't, don't go!" she muttered nervously, her brows furrowed and her eyes closed.

She stretched out her hand and wanted to catch the person in front of her, but she couldn't catch it at all, the murderer ran so fast, she kept trying to chase it, but in the end she fell into a sea of fire and was shattered.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

In the dream, she was dead, but in reality, she was still alive and awakened by a puff of smoke.

"Ahem. Qiu Lan covered her mouth and nose and slowly opened her eyes, everything in front of her seemed to be bright, and she saw the dawn of dawn.

"Fire, fire, burned. ”

Where she had tied the glass, the reeds were already burning in patches, and a gray smoke filled the air.

With the help of the breeze, the fire quickly spread, and the reeds around Qiu Lan burned.

The rustling sound continued, and she struggled to raise the corners of her mouth, staring intently at the raging fire.

She was finally saved.

But the fire was too fierce, the reeds were thick, and the thick smoke was blowing in her face, choking Qiu Lan from tears.

In desperation, she tore off a small piece of clothing, wet it with water, and covered her mouth and nose to avoid suffocating from inhaling the smoke.

However, the smoke was isolated, but there was no way to isolate the temperature of the flame.

In an instant, Qiu Lan felt that the temperature of her body had risen by ten degrees, and large pieces of sweat poured out of her forehead and then fell from her chin.

"No, you can't be dehydrated. She shook her head with all her might, and sprinkled the water from the lake on her face, trying to keep her mind sane.

"Be persistent, wait for someone to come. ”

"Hold on, wait for someone to come. ”

"He, he's coming. ”

There is no doubt that this is Li Shanghan, and Qiu Lan did not guess wrong, he has indeed been looking for her, but he has searched a wide range of villages and towns and found no trace of her.

Twelve hours passed, and the two dozen or so officers in charge of investigating the incident returned to their original places in despair.

They didn't find any news either.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that they were wrong in the first place?

"Xiao Lan, where is Xiao Lan?" Qi Mo twisted his brows, his face heavy.

"Yes, where did Dr. Qiu go, why couldn't he find anyone at all?" Xu Chengyan clenched his fists, his eyes full of worry.

Li Shanghan, who was standing on the side, had a calm face, exuding a cold chill around his body, and kept thinking about the woman Qiu Lan in his mind.

Where have you been? Where the hell have you been? Have you been hurt?

"Could Xiao Lan have been, could it have been kidnapped?" Qi Mo lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of panic in his choked voice.

"No, it won't. Li Shanghan almost didn't hesitate for a second, he responded coldly, his eyes firm, "If it is kidnapped, it will definitely contact us, it will definitely not be a kidnapping." ”

As soon as the words fell, a crisp alarm bell rang.

It's the sound of a fire truck!
