In the night, Gao Haiqing leaned forward, his outstretched arms, like two oars, rowing backwards with all his might, and Juanjuan, her feet, because they were in the water, could not hear any sound. But it is also swinging backwards rhythmically and vigorously, like the tail rudder behind the boat, on both sides of the tires, constantly splashing water.

After rowing for a while, both of them were tired, and they craned their necks and looked forward, for fear of deviating from the direction. You know, at this time, in the dark, there are floods on all sides, and the tires are round, so it is very difficult to grasp the direction, and if you don't get it, you will go around in circles in the water. In that case, it would be quite dangerous.

The two of them watched for a long time, only to see the "smoke" in the distance, looming, real and illusory, like a dream, very ethereal.

"You're right, isn't it? Is it a forest or not? Why hasn't it been so long? You say, how far is that wood, and how long will it take?" Juanjuan was a little breathless, she was originally skeptical of Gao Haiqing's words, so she couldn't help but ask again.

“…… That wood, supposedly two or three miles away from our village, is said to be two or three miles away. But, to be honest, I haven't been there in years. ”

“…… How long have we been rowing?"

In fact, paddling in the water is not as fast as walking on land, and the flood itself is slowly flowing in a southeasterly direction. And they were paddling in the northwest direction, which was exactly the opposite of the direction in which they were going, but because of the darkness, neither of them could feel it. So, although Juanjuan felt that they had been paddling for a long time, they hadn't really 'walked' far.

"Alright. It is useless to say anything. Let's hurry up, there's no other way to do it anyway. In a moment, the flood will take us farther away. That's when it's even more troublesome. After all, Gao Haiqing is from this place, and he is older than Juanjuan, so he still understands better than Juanjuan.

Juanjuan thinks about it. So, she stopped talking, and the two of them began to concentrate on rowing again.

Finally, the cloud of "smoke" in front of it, which seemed to be wrapped in a light veil and seemed to be like a dream, also approached little by little, and it began to gradually reveal its mysterious face.

Gao Haiqing's face rushed forward, paddling, suddenly, he stopped, rubbed his arms with two hands, and then turned his body around, facing Juanjuan, first laughed twice, and then said:

“…… I'm so tired from paddling like this, my arm is about to break, it would be better to change my position. ”

Gao Haiqing did this, and he was face to face with Juanjuan.

“…… How did you...... How so?"

Juanjuan originally thought that he had something serious to say, but she didn't expect that he was like this.

Juanjuan casually made some splashes on Gao Haiqing's face, and shouted dissatisfiedly:

“…… Turn around! I'm not used to your face facing me like that. Besides, you have to look ahead and don't get the direction wrong......"

Speaking of which, Juanjuan is still a girl after all, although it is dark at this time, neither of them can see whose face clearly, but at this time, let her face to face a young man, and she can also feel his breath, of course she feels very awkward in her heart, she turned her head vigorously, and her face felt a little hot.

In fact, Juanjuan also understood in her heart that Gao Haiqing's posture had been a long time, and she was indeed a little tired, but she was still a little uncomfortable.

When Gao Haiqing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. Originally, it was already a matter of life and death, and he didn't have the heart to joke with Juanjuan. However, because he had been in the water for too long, he also felt a little bored, so he took this opportunity to start teasing Juanjuan. I saw that he also made some splashes on Juanjuan's face with his hand, and said deliberately:

“…… Do you have dog eyes, and who can see your face on such a dark night?...... Besides, even if I could see you, I would have infinite strength in front of a beautiful girl like you, and you see, we paddled like this, and there was more romance in this charming flood of the night...... Even if I die, I'm happy. Don't you think so?......"

“…… Bah, damn it, you've got a pair of dog eyes. Juanjuan didn't know, in fact, this Gao Haiqing usually has a very humorous personality and a lively brain, and he is very good at pleasing girls. She wiped the splash from her face with her hands and scolded:

“…… Besides, you want to die, you can die by yourself, I still want to live......" Juanjuan was a little red-faced by Gao Haiqing's teasing words. Her heart was pounding.

In fact, despite Juanjuan's scolding, she still felt very comfortable in her heart. After all, a girl, someone praises her for her good looks in person, and she still likes it in her heart.

So, she didn't care about him anymore. She just turned her face slightly, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and tried not to look at him head-on anyway.

Indeed, Gao Haiqing changed his posture, and the pace of the stroke was significantly faster. In this way, little by little, the tires gradually drifted towards the smoke-like place in front of them.

Just as they were about to pass, at this time, Juanjuan heard some voices that seemed to be faintly coming from the front.

Juanjuan's spirit couldn't help but perk up all of a sudden, she quickly patted Gao Haiqing's shoulder with her hand, and said in surprise:

“…… Listen, it looks like someone is talking in front of you. ”

When Gao Haiqing heard this, he also stopped paddling, turned his face sideways, and put one palm to his ear, listening carefully.

“…… Yes, it looks like there must be people who have taken refuge there. …… Quick, let's hurry up and row forward......" Gao Haiqing also nodded and said.

Juanjuan seemed to see hope, and she held on to the tires with both hands and kicked her feet hard backwards in the water.

Gao Haiqing also sped up his movements, and the water splashed from time to time.

I was finally able to see clearly. Indeed, as Gao Haiqing said, this is a forest.

It's just that, judging from the current situation, the flood has basically submerged the part under the trees. On the surface of the water, only more than half of the canopy is exposed.

It's a pity that the two of them are still late. Because, the trees that look a little thicker here are already full of people. The rest of the trees, the trunks of which rise above the water, are only the thickness of cups, and how can a man step on them, how can they withstand the weight of a man? Obviously not.

Juanjuan pushed the tires and looked at one big tree after another, and the trees in front of her were basically already human. It can't be helped, it seems that the only way to do this is to continue to look inside.

So, the two of them continued to row forward.

In the eastern sky, some light gradually came out. The time has reached dawn.

The two of them tossed all night, and their stomachs had already begun to growl. Juanjuan's physical strength is a little exhausted now. Her movements were getting slower. Gao Haiqing is the same, but the desire to survive, the two of them still gritted their teeth and insisted on paddling forward.

Who knows, the situation is the same in the back, all the thicker trees already have people on them.

After a while, it was already dark. Now, the people in the woods, with each other, can already see a rough outline.

The woods are not very large. Seeing that the woods in front of them were almost finished, they still didn't find a single large tree. Juanjuan and Gao Haiqing were a little disappointed.

“…… Hey, is that Kiyoko down there?" At this time, on a branch not far away, a voice came, "...... I look just like you?...... How, you ...... You're here too?"

Juanjuan looked up at the voice of the voice, and saw three people on a tree.

“…… It's just a few of you?...... Quick, you climb up again, make a branch for us, soak in the water all night, my whole body is about to fall apart, and I have no strength at all......" Gao Haiqing saw them, and immediately adjusted the direction of the tires and rowed there.

“…… Don't come here, we can only have one tree at most. Don't look at it, my branch is not thick, you come up, we have to finish playing. No!" The man who spoke, with a sharp voice, said with a very firm attitude.

At this time, another person who was in a lower position than him shouted dissatisfiedly at the man:

“…… You guy, what do you call this? Qingzi is our own brother, can you watch death and not save it?...... Come, I'm not afraid, come up to my branch, and I'm going to die, let's all die together. ”

When Juanjuan heard it, the voice of the person who spoke seemed to be a little familiar. Her eyes widened and she looked face up carefully.

Because those people were hidden in the leaves, and the leaves on the trees were very lush, and the sky was not very bright, Juanjuan couldn't see their faces even though she looked at them for a long time.

Of course, what Juanjuan is most worried about now is that the people who spoke were the same people who kidnapped her with Gao Haiqing last night. If that's the case, won't she fall into the tiger's mouth again? Although there are many people here, Juanjuan doesn't know anyone here after all, so of course she is a little uneasy.

Thinking of this, Juanjuan gently asked Gao Haiqing:

"Tell me, who are these guys in the tree? Are they the same guys from last night?"
