Chapter Seventy-Nine: No Regrets in This Life
Xu Youran didn't take this situation into account when he came, so he didn't bring sneakers, although they were flat heels, but leather shoes were obviously not suitable for walking in the wild.
But Xu Youran couldn't care about these anymore.
It was getting dark, the wind in the forest was "whirring" in the ears, and the people passing through disturbed the flora and fauna inside, and the birds flew back and forth from the branches, and the crows crowed to make the atmosphere even more heavy.
Xu Youran was too stubborn, and even Princess Trosi persuaded her not to go, but she insisted on saying that she must go into the woods to find Qin Chu in person.
How could she still sit there and wait for news with peace of mind? Although she didn't ask for it, Qin Chu's original intention to chase that prey was still because of her.
The last time she ignored Xue Wei had already cost Xue Wei her life, and this time, she didn't dare to imagine what kind of mood she would be in if it was Qin Chu's turn.
So she had to find him!
Thinking of this, Xu Youran quickened the pace of searching, and at the same time shouted in the forest, "Qin Chu, where are you?"
In order to prevent Xu Youran from having another accident, Trosi transferred five people to protect Xu Youran, and also joined the search mission.
After hearing this, they also shouted along with Xu Youran, but in a foreign language.
These shouts were mixed together, but they weakened the strength of Xu Youran's voice, she frowned a little distraughtly, and continued to call out Qin Chu's name in a louder voice.
"Qin Chuβ"
She shouted for a long time and very hard, so her throat began to itch and she couldn't help coughing.
"Yu Ran. β
Suddenly there was a sound in my ears.
Xu Youran turned her head vigilantly, looked around and found no trace, she raised her hand and made a gesture to signal them to remain quiet for the time being.
There is nothing else except the chirping of all kinds of birds, beasts and insects.
Xu Youran raised his eyes, "Did you hear someone shouting Youran?"
The five guards looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
It's weird, could it be her auditory hallucinations?
As it got darker and foggy, one of the guards began to persuade Xu to go back, saying that it would not be safe to go down into the woods.
Xu Youran continued stubbornly.
She felt that these people were not seriously searching, if they only relied on their strength, Qin Chu was afraid that they would be more than lucky.
The sky was getting darker and the mist was getting thicker.
Several guards listened to the echo ringing in their ears, and after listening to it for a long time, they were gradually able to shout the word "Qin Chu" in Chinese.
I don't know if it's because the sky is getting darker, or because the fog is getting thicker, and the female voice is gradually starting to ethereal.
The night in the forest was very cold, and the guard armor couldn't help but shiver, "Captain, I can't let her look like this anymore, it's not safe at night." β
The captain probed a clump of castor beans on the left hand side with a probe stick, and while shining a flashlight on it, he turned around and pointed at the two people casually, "Okay, then you can send her back." β
The two nodded in response, "Mrs. Qin, we'll send you ......"
The forest was very quiet, the direction of the sound just now was only a thick fog, and the moonlight shone on the fog through the gaps in the branches and leaves overhead, but the white mist was illuminated in a dark blue color, and it was very strangely quiet.
"Captain!"
"What's wrong?" The captain turned around, but as soon as the words fell, he saw that Xu Youran, who was supposed to be standing there, was suddenly evaporating from the world.
"Damn!" the captain spat on the ground.
Another one is missing!
At that time, Xu Youran didn't realize that she had deviated from the main army, she just moved forward, but at this time it was completely dark, and a cloud of mist was floating in the moon, and it was terrifyingly dark.
As soon as Xu Youran wanted to open his mouth and continue to shout Qin Chu's name, he heard a "whoosh" in his ears.
Even though Xu Youran had never seen a wolf, he could still recognize the wolf's bark.
She immediately used her afterglow to ask for help from her teammates, but where were the five guards besides trees and grass around her?
His heart trembled suddenly, and Xu Youran froze in place as if he had been clicked on an acupoint, and he didn't dare to make a sound or move after turning off the flashlight.
Anyone who has lived carefree for more than 20 years, and suddenly his life is threatened, he will have no idea.
Xu Youran pricked up his ears and roughly judged the direction in which the wolf howl was coming from, and then cautiously moved his steps in the opposite direction.
As she walked, a picture popped into her head.
Wolves feed.
"No, it won't. She only dared to close her lips a few times and laughed at herself, "He shouldn't be so stupid." β
She knew that avoiding the wolf, Qin Chu couldn't be so stupid.
But there was a hint of cautious fear in this mocking smile.
The wolf howl also gradually moved away with the thick fog, and Xu Youran was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but his ears moved, only to hear the sound of "rustling" from the long grass.
Realizing that danger was coming, Xu Youran knew that advancing so slowly would only become a beast's lunch, and immediately began to take big strides, with a bit of an escape.
She was about to run, when her ankles suddenly tightened.
Xu Youran was grabbed by the foot without warning.
She screamed loudly for several seconds in fright, and at the same time her body used her primitive self-preservation instincts, constantly moving her legs and feet to try to break free from the shackles of her feet.
The moment she returned to freedom, she began to run wild.
"Whew-"
The voice was very weak and weak, so weak that if it weren't for Xu Youran's nervous breakdown at this time, he would hardly have been discovered.
Xu Youran was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw a person lying on the ground.
She shone a flashlight over there, and saw that the man's clothes were dirty, and his body was very similar to Qin Chu.
Xu Youran quickly ran over and took a closer look at his face.
"There's no need...... So, take a picture of my face, right?"
He spoke intermittently, breathlessly, as if he would disappear in the next second.
Xu Youran wanted to cry when she heard this, but in fact, her eyes were indeed red, she held back the tears that were about to burst out, and held Qin Chu in her arms.
"How do you ......"
Xu Youran's eyes were like a searchlight to observe Qin Chu's condition, he was really bad now, there were some black stains on his originally handsome face, and there was only a shirt left in the riding outfit on his body, but the shirt was also a little tattered.
Xu Youran didn't want to think about it, so he took off his coat and covered him.
Qin Chu didn't have the strength at this moment, and even frowned when he smiled, "Your clothes, do you think I can wear them?"
Qin Chu's figure was much taller than Xu Youran, and her narrow and slim clothes covered Qin Chu looked ridiculous.
At the moment when the clothes were covered, Xu Youran also noticed this.
If it was her kindness in the past that she was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, she would definitely take revenge and come back, but today, her nose is sore.
"I'm sorry. β
Qin Chu looked up at her, and after being stunned for a long time, he squeezed out a reluctant smile, "It turns out that using the bitter meat trick can really make you bow your head." β
Xu Youran was even more anxious when he saw him laughing, as if he had a wound on his body.
Hurriedly untied the collar of his shirt.
Qin Chu didn't have the strength at this moment, and he didn't even have the ability to raise his hand to stop Xu Youran's further movements, so he just said angrily, "What are you doing?" I'm still injured, can you wait for me to get better before doing this?"
Xu Youran explained good-naturedly, "Where are you hurt?"
"Don't look at it now, I'll find out when I get back. He put an arm on Xu Youran's shoulder, "You help me up, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief when I see you." β
I felt that the body of the person in my arms suddenly stiffened.
He didn't have much strength to speak, and looked at Xu Youran, who had a flash of embarrassment in his eyes.
"That...... In fact. β
Qin Chu chuckled in his heart, "You are also separated?"
Xu Youran looked away very embarrassedly.
If it was put in normal times, Qin Chu would only think that his Mrs. Qin was cute and stupid, but now he only felt that maybe the word "cute" should be removed.
Xu Youran apologized for a long time.
Although Qin Chu was helpless, he still comforted her, "If it weren't for you, I would still be lying here alone and waiting to die." β
Before entering the forest and starting the search team, Xu Youran had a gut feeling that the person who found Qin Chu would be himself, so he put something to eat in his coat.
Qin Chu had no strength, except for physical exhaustion and injury, half of which was due to the fact that he had only eaten breakfast today.
After replenishing his energy, Qin Chu's physical strength finally recovered a little.
With Xu Youran's help, he stood up and suddenly became solemn.
"We've got to get out of here first, wolves are coming. β
By the light just now, Xu Youran had already seen Qin Chu's cracked trouser legs, as if they had been bitten by something.
Xu Youran's heart sank, and he clenched Qin Chu's waist and right hand, supporting him to leave here.
The forest fog at night was so heavy that they could not see the way forward, so they could only try to go in the opposite direction of the wolf howl.
And because Qin Chu was injured, and Xu Youran's physical strength was basically exhausted, they had no time or energy to look forward to the appearance of the search and rescue team.
As Xu Youran thought, they can only rely on themselves.
The speed of progress was slow, but fortunately, the sky was endless, and the two of them actually found a cave after entering the valley.
It is said to be a cave, but it is actually more like a cave dug by adventurous children.
There's even a broken set of chess pieces in it.
Xu Youran knew that Qin Chu loved to be clean, and before helping him sit down, he threw his coat on the ground.
Qin Chu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "It's all this time, what else do you pay attention to?"
Today's Xu Youran is exceptionally well-behaved, she does whatever Qin Chu says, Qin Chu feels that there is no need to pay attention to it, so she puts away her clothes.
This kind of Xu Youran made Qin Chu feel unfamiliar, and his eyes stared at her directly.
Xu Youran was seen with a surge of adrenaline, but he couldn't blame a wounded man, and frowned slightly, "Don't look at me." β
Hearing this, Qin Chu hooked the corners of his lips obliquely, "Okay." β
There was a hint of accommodation in his low-alcohol voice.
On the way here, Xu Youran tore the inner lining of his coat into many strips of cloth to mark them, so now all they had to do was stay here to survive this dangerous night, waiting to be discovered.
"But what if they don't see your mark?" Qin Chu said calmly about the worst possible result.
Xu Youran was silent.
She might be able to wait for rescue for a while longer than Qin Chu, but Qin Chu's injuries looked very serious, and she didn't know how to answer.
"You'll see, there's a lot of people in the search and rescue team. She raised her dark eyes, "Besides, you're a friend of the princess's fiancΓ©, aren't you?"
"Just a normal friend. β
At this time, he will still fall into the ground, even if he is ridiculing himself.
Xu Youran was in a heavy mood, and when he didn't know how to answer him, he listened to him speak, "But I can die by your side, and I have no regrets in this life." β
