Chapter 16: Startled
Bai Xue walked along the forest path towards the small square where Gong Xi might be hiding, feeling uneasy in her heart as she walked, for fear that she would be too late, if something really happened to Gong Xi, although it was not a matter of being responsible, it would still make people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the forest is naturally dark, and nothing can be seen clearly, in fact, let alone the forest, even the road under the feet has become blurry, Bai Xue walked deep and shallow, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy, she subconsciously put her hand in her pocket, pinched the mobile phone, and then remembered that her mobile phone was out of power, and she even called Xiao Geyan to inform him that what he was going to do was not realized, and now what he was carrying in his pocket was just a brick, and it was also ultra-thin, and there was really no hope for lethality, if he encountered a wrist full of strength, maybe you can try your luck with a hidden weapon.
Bai Xue couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the past a long, long time ago, when she was still very young, although the mobile phone at that time had long since bid farewell to the era of Big Brother, but the size and sturdiness were much more considerable than now, especially the Noa brand that I used for a while when I was in school, which claimed to be able to smash walnuts, and it really deserved to be a necessary self-defense weapon for home travel.
It's like today's mobile phones, fragile like eyeballs, and if you don't care for it, you're afraid that something will go wrong, and the screen will be broken if you don't agree with each other, which makes people have no sense of security at all.
With such a desertion, Bai Xue also forgot about the dark woods around her, her courage was really not big, even now it is just ordinary, but because of her profession, she has to be honed, and now it is much better than in the past, what she needs to do now is to concentrate on finding Gong Xi, so that other cranky thoughts are even more difficult to come out.
It's one thing not to think nonsense, Bai Xue's alertness cultivated by front-line work in the past few years still exists, she walked and walked, and she felt that something was not quite right, there were faint footsteps coming from behind her, there should be a little distance from herself, not particularly close, but it can be said with great certainty that someone is following her, as for tailgating or coincidence, this is not so easy to confirm, but combined with the surrounding environment of this time and place at the moment, it still gives people a feeling that it is not quite right。
Bai Xue walked quietly, suddenly stopped, turned to look behind him, there was no obvious figure on the winding path behind him, the wind was blowing in the woods, although there were no dense leaves on the trees, but it was still not difficult to hear the sound it made in the woods.
Could it be that he was really too nervous, so he was mistaken? Bai Xue looked at the empty path behind him, and only thought that he was suspicious of a dark ghost, so he turned around and continued to walk forward.
But after walking a few steps, she felt that something was really wrong, this was definitely not the effect of her suspicions, there must be someone behind her who secretly wanted to get closer, so she slowed down, her steps were light, and when she walked to a bush, she looked back, and did not see anyone following her nearby, so she quickly went around the back lightly, hidden, and wanted to see if anyone was following her.
Who could that be? Bai Xue was a little puzzled and nervous and thought to herself, could it be the person who followed Gong Xi just now? Could it be that when did there be an extra stalker in Cuishan Nature Park?
If this is really the case, then as long as the disparity between the strength of the other party and herself is not too big, Bai Xue wants to simply grit her teeth and solve this neurosis, so as not to have other innocent citizens frightened by this. It's not that she boasts, the kind of Lian Jiazi who is not in the scope of comparison, when she was in school, grappling and fighting those subjects, Bai Xue's performance has always been the best among girls, even if she fights against boys, it may not be a particularly big disadvantage, if it's just a general kind of stalker who has certain mental problems or psychological problems, and doesn't have too professional force value, voyeurism or something, she shouldn't have a big problem.
Thinking so, Bai Xue secretly held back a lot of energy, wanting to capture the stalker.
Sure enough, when she remembered about half a minute or so, there were gentle footsteps slowly approaching this side, Bai Xue looked out through the bushes, the sky had already darkened, and she couldn't see what the person who came over looked like, she could only see that the person was not low, looking around while walking, Bai Xue muttered a little in her heart, although there is a certain advantage in martial arts skills, but the natural advantage brought by height and weight is also a high wall that cannot be overcome。
The height and physique of the person who came, Bai Xue really felt a little bottomless, after all, he was a lot taller than himself, just this height difference, I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture the other party alive, so if the other party does not find himself at the first time, then Bai Xue does not plan to startle the snake, just wait for the other party to pass, and then find Gong Xi as soon as possible, try not to hit the hard, unless it is forced to avoid a head-on conflict that is not sure of the odds.
The man walked over slowly, approaching the bushes where Bai Xue was hiding, the closer the person got closer, the more Bai Xue felt that the other party's figure seemed to be a little familiar, but she was not sure, she didn't dare to act rashly, so she hid behind the bushes and carefully observed.
The man finally walked to the bushes, and by the faint light, Bai Xue could see the outline of the man's face clearly, she was a little surprised, and at the same time a little relieved, and stood up straight, intending to come out from behind the bushes.
However, her god startled the man a lot, and while slamming more to the other side, she put on a posture of self-defense, and both hands were clenched into fists.
"Don't be nervous, it's me," this time it was Bai Xue's turn to laugh, she hurriedly waved her hand, signaled, and opened her mouth to show her identity, "Jiang Cheng, I'm Bai Xue!"
The person who came was indeed Jiang Cheng, he heard Bai Xue speak, and looked at it again, confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Bai Xue, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and his two fists relaxed.
"Bai Xue, you scared me a lot!" he let out a long breath, and there was some unsteady breath in his voice, as if his emotions had not calmed down, "Why are you here?!"
