Day 126, Preparation (Medium)

The exhaustion of the whole day could not dilute my worries now, the moon was already in the head, and Blackie and Lightning were playing around, but Midacan had not returned, and to be honest, for a moment, I felt like I was back to the lonely days I had at the beginning.

I really don't want him to be in danger, not only because he is afraid of being alone, but more importantly, for so many years, from the initial rejection to the subsequent rapport is very profound, and now we have worked hard to get the opportunity to leave here, if we encounter an accident at this juncture, it is really difficult to accept.

It is very dangerous to go out alone in the dark of night to look for him, of course I am not afraid of danger, but there is no point in doing so, I have no way to find him in the dark woods alone, all I can do is wait and pray for him, hoping that he is only delayed.

Although I know that this may be just my self-consolation, but what can I do, the surrounding woods are really familiar to me and Mitakán, and we can even imagine the way the trees are arranged with our eyes closed.

But now the fact is that he really didn't come back, he couldn't get lost, he couldn't be delayed, he couldn't leave alone, the only possibility was ...... I don't dare to think about it.

In order to make the shelter more visible in the dark, so that he could see more clearly and not get lost, I lit several large torches, all tied to the high tree trunks and wiped them outside the courtyard. So that Midacan can come back and see it more conspicuously.

I still remember that Xiao Hei was the same once, and that time also worried me for a long time, but the result was still very good, although Xiao Hei was a little injured, but still came back, it should have been trapped that time......

If Midakang hadn't come back today, I would have set out to look for it at dawn tomorrow morning! If it were according to normal logic, I should have rested now, recuperated my spirits, and set out tomorrow to look for it.

But now my heart is completely confronted by reason and anxiety, and I can't even sit down quietly, but can only pace back and forth in the courtyard, constantly guessing and imagining, let alone sleeping, this feeling often occurs when I first come here.

But there has been no such feeling in the recent stage, and now it has appeared again, Xiao Hei and Lightning have been playing for a day, and now they have been driven to sleep in the tree house by me, Xiao Hei was not very willing at first, and I scolded a few times before he took his tail back to the tree house, compared to Xiao Hei, Lightning is more brainless, and completely follows Xiao Hei, as if he is already Xiao Hei's horse.

If it weren't for the fact that I knew very well that there was basically no one else on this island, I would have wondered if Midacom had been kidnapped, it should have been late at night, and the sea breeze seemed to be starting to rest, and I could only blow a few hairs.

I've already changed the torch for the third time, and I've calculated that maybe four or five more times it will be lit and the sky should be bright, but Midacom still hasn't come back.

Crocodiles, vipers, wild boars, or what attacked him, where did they attack him, and was he desperate after he was attacked...... Thoughts began to fly farther and farther, and cranky thoughts and random speculation were pieced together into several final images of Midakon.

"Brush, Kata!" came the sound of trampling on broken branches at the edge of the trees outside the courtyard. As soon as I was excited, the whole person jumped up, it should be Midacom back. I rushed to the gate of the courtyard.

"Midacom!" rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and I stood at the torch and could not see the dark woods for a moment, but I shouted.

"Squeak" was heard only by a scream, and then after a while, the woods were quiet again. "Alas!" sighed, and I returned to the door of the treehouse and sat down again at the eaves.

The nerves were so tense that when I heard the voice of an unknown critter, I thought it was Midacan who had returned, but it turned out to be not.

As the night deepened, my body began to warn that I was tired and needed to rest, my eyelids began to fight, and my thoughts began to slow down. But the brain still doesn't give the body a chance, and still tries to take the initiative, all kinds of ideas, speculations emerge one after another, and even nonsensical ideas such as demons and monsters begin to appear.

But only people in this situation can experience this feeling, the feeling of not being able to control themselves, the more you want to suppress it, the more you don't let it imagine, the imagination in the brain is like a sponge that absorbs enough water, gently squeezing, it flows out, and you can't stop.

"Don't sleep!" sighed, I stood up, and sat down like this, I felt like I was going crazy, so I simply got up and took a few cool breaths of sober breath that had cooled down the chaotic brain and sobered it up.

As the minutes ticked by, I changed my torches again, and it should have been another three to five hours, and the day should be about to dawn. I'm about to embark on a journey to find Midacan.

I have to say that I got up and breathed in the fresh air very wisely, pacing back and forth a few steps, and after changing the torch once, the chaotic brain began to calm down, as if the computer had restarted, and the thoughts became clear again.

If I don't rest today, it will be futile to wait like this, what I can do is to set off as soon as dawn, and if I don't rest, I can't guarantee whether I will have the strength to find and search for Midakang tomorrow.

I decided to wait one last hour, that is, to change the torches one more time, and then go to rest, close my eyes as soon as possible to regain my strength, and set off as soon as I woke up at dawn.

The torch gradually dimmed, there were about ten minutes left, this torch needed to be replaced again, and the pace back and forth was getting faster and faster, no matter which direction I went, my eyes were staring at the gate of the courtyard, and my heart had been hoping that Midakang would come back as soon as possible.

Soon, ten minutes were up, the torch was about to go out, I couldn't wait any longer, the new torch was already set, just go and light it, Midacom still didn't come back. Still didn't wait for him.

After plugging in this last torch and entering the treehouse, I finally looked back a few times, but I still didn't see the picture I was expecting.

"Well, go to sleep, and you must get up early tomorrow to look for it. After finally telling myself to wake up on time and not oversleep, I began to walk to the upper level of the treehouse.

Before I could climb up, I heard the sound of a loud trampling of a branch, "Is he back?"

Immediately rushed to the door to look outside the courtyard, a figure quickly ran in from the courtyard gate, the torch was pulled down by him at once, and then quickly stepped on, "Is this not him?"

"You ......" was just about to speak, when the figure rushed over.

"Mi ......" I was going to call him after seeing it clearly

"Wait, go in, go in first, quick!" said Midakon as he rushed to my side and lowered his voice, looking very nervous, I had never seen him so out of shape.
