Chapter 1007: Hurry
"It's delicious, it's delicious, brother, how can you do anything?" Wang Xinqi was obviously deliberately currying favor with Ye Ren, but he felt that the word "brother" was a little inappropriate, so he swallowed his tongue hurriedly.
Dong Jiao hurriedly touched Wang Xinqi with her arm, but Ye Ren didn't say anything.
After the three of them finished enjoying the delicious food, Ye Ren told Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao to rest quickly and set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning. After saying that, he walked to a large stone at the entrance of the cave and lay down. Ye Ren's words were undoubted, and the two sisters didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly rested.
Ye Ren quickly fell asleep, he was too tired all day today, and usually, he went to bed early at this time.
At four o'clock the next morning, Ye Ren woke up on time and found that there was indeed an extra sheet on his body, but it was not a dream! It turned out that Ye Ren had a dream last night, and he felt in a trance that a girl had covered a sheet for herself, and it felt so warm, and when she looked closely, it was Dong Jiao, who smiled at her, and then turned to leave.
Dong Jiao and Wang Xinqi also woke up one after another, packed their things, and Ye Ren beckoned the two of them on the road.
Ye Ren had learned from the old man's mouth the general location of some of the gold mines that the two girls were looking for, but that was what the old people said from memory, besides, many years had passed, and it was inevitable that there would be deviations. Today's goal is to have a lake ten miles away, and when we get to this lake, we will make a plan. The reason why it is so early is because the road is not easy to walk, and there are two girls with you, if you can't catch it before dark, you will inevitably encounter danger.
In the early morning in the mountains and forests, everything has just woken up from a deep sleep, the green of the grass and trees is particularly bright, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and from time to time there are cheerful calls of birds, everything is full of vitality.
To reach the lake, you have to climb over several mountain beams, especially through a section of cliffs, the bottom of the cliff is bottomless, many strong men will stop here, Ye Ren thought to himself, I don't know if Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao can go over, if they can pass, there is hope for finding the gold mine, if not, they will return immediately, and they will break their thoughts.
Of course, the two sisters did not know the hardships and dangers of the road ahead, and felt fresh about everything in the mountains.
It's no wonder that the girls in the big city have been pampered since childhood, everything is under the protection of their families, and they are even picked up and dropped off from school. Therefore, everything is fresh in the eyes of Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao, which will stimulate their curious nerves, and along the way, although they are tired and even embarrassed, they are happy.
Near noon, the three of them found a place with shade to rest and eat something by the way. Wang Xinqi took out his own snacks for Ye Ren to eat, and Ye Ren almost laughed and cried. But Ye Ren didn't refuse, it's noon, eat less to replenish your energy, and it's easy to go to the lake at night, besides, I really haven't eaten those snacks, and there are very few snacks, let alone now.
After eating, Ye Ren saw that the two girls were really tired and pitiful, so he felt pity, so he asked the two of them to sleep for a while, but asked them not to sleep for more than thirty minutes, he didn't sleep himself, and was responsible for keeping guard to prevent wild beasts from attacking.
The two girls fell asleep quickly because they got up early and were so tired. Ye Ren was very vigilant, he knew that danger would happen in this forest all the time, and there was no room for negligence.
Suddenly, Ye Ren found that there was smoke rising in the valley about a few hundred meters away, and someone was making a fire.
With the help of the trees, after a while, Ye Ren came to the valley, and when he saw it, there were three people making a fire and boiling water for cooking. Ye Ren didn't dare to act rashly, hiding in the grass and listening to the three of them carefully, not only was he taken aback, but he took a breath of cold air.
It turned out that after the hunter who met Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao in the cave yesterday went back, he invited three or five friends to eat game, and with the strength of wine, he told his friends what he saw in the cave.
It turned out that the bar girl of a certain boss Wang in Los Angeles was missing.
Some of my friends were friends with Boss Wang, and when they knew about Boss Wang's two bar girls, they immediately went to Boss Wang to tell the truth. After this incident, what Boss Wang was most worried about was that the two girls were still alive, and his illegal deeds would be exposed. If he dies and there is no proof, he can get away with it, and if he lives, things are not easy to say. Because when the police station came to investigate, he said that the two girls left on their own. As soon as he heard this, Boss Wang immediately became scared, so he sent someone to track him down. The three of them got up earlier than Ye Ren and them, just because they weren't very familiar with the road.
Ye Ren had heard about the girl in the bar, and from the few words of the three of them, he knew that the problem was serious, and he didn't want to think about it, so he immediately got up and went back......
Back to the place where they were resting just now, Dong Jiao and the others were looking for Ye Ren in a panic.
"Go to the toilet, it's okay, let's go, otherwise we won't be able to reach our destination before dark." Ye Ren urged the two to go on the road.
While walking, Ye Ren told the two girls the legends and stories of this mountain forest, and the two girls were so frightened that they couldn't leave, and the pace naturally accelerated, and it was no longer like the pain here and there itching like in the morning, in fact, Ye Ren was the idea, let the two of her walk faster, afraid that the three people who came would catch up.
The closer you get to the lake, the more difficult the road becomes, just now the vegetation was very lush, but now it suddenly decreases, and the feet are full of stones, and the stones are getting bigger and bigger, and the shapes are different, so you need to stand on your tiptoes and walk carefully. There was nothing to obstruct, the sun was shining directly on the body, and the whole body was tingling, and after a while, the two girls were thrown far away by Ye Ren.
"Hurry up, there's a forest in front of you, you can rest for a while!" Ye Ren shouted loudly.
When the two girls heard that there was a place to rest in front of them, they didn't care about their feet and shoes, so they helped each other to rush forward, bypassing the foot of a mountain, and sure enough, a forest appeared in front of them, Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao were so excited that tears almost fell.
Coming to the shade of the tree where Ye Ren was resting, Wang Xinqi began to cry.
"Her shoes are torn and her right foot is injured, what should I do?" Dong Jiao helped Wang Xinqi sit down and asked Ye Ren.
Ye Ren looked at Wang Xinqi, Wang Xinqi was embarrassed to get up, and it was the first time for her to cry like this in front of a boy. Ye Ren looked at the sun, and estimated that he had walked a few miles at this time, and the people behind him couldn't catch up for a while, thinking that he should take a look at Wang Xinqi's injury, at least deal with it, otherwise the injury will get worse and worse.
Ye Ren walked up to Wang Xinqi, gently picked her up, and let her lean against the tree, so that she could be a little more comfortable.
Ye Ren's action surprised Wang Xinqi, the moment he picked up Wang Xinqi, Wang Xinqi felt that Ye Ren's arms were very strong, he was like a gentle little white rabbit in his arms, and his feet didn't seem to hurt so much.
And the moment Ye Ren hugged Wang Xinqi, Dong Jiao's eyes flashed a trace of imperceptible jealousy.
Ye Ren asked Wang Xinqi to straighten her legs and help her take off the rotten shoe on her right foot, fortunately, it was only a scratch on the outside of her foot, if the sole of her foot was injured, it would be difficult to deal with, it must have accidentally scratched the protruding stone tip when she was in a hurry just now. Although it was scratched on the outside of the foot, the injury was also very serious, and there was a lot of blood, and the shoes and socks were stained red.
"Does it hurt?" Ye Ren asked Wang Xinqi.
"It's fine. Wang Xinqi replied.
"You bear with me, I'll help you take off your socks, okay?" Ye Ren asked.
"Okay, but you have to slow down, I'm afraid of pain. After Wang Xinqi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and turned his head.
Ye Ren supported Wang Xinqi's ankle with his left hand, and gently took off his socks for Wang Xinqi with his right hand, and at the same time, he also observed Wang Xinqi's expression. Sure enough, as Ye Ren thought, the wound was very deep and still bleeding.
"What should I do?" Dong Jiao looked at a loss.
"You hold her feet for me, I'll get it. ”
After speaking, Ye Ren went to the grass to find several kinds of wild grass, chewed them in his mouth, and then applied them to Wang Xinqi's wound, and took out medical gauze from the canvas bag to bandage Wang Xinqi.
Don't underestimate Zhang Miaoer's ragged canvas bag for Ye Ren, there is everything in it, after all, when I was a child, I had experience in surviving in the wild with my grandfather, and some necessities such as medicines were indispensable, which was unthinkable for Wang Xinqi and Dong Jiao.
The painful expression on Wang Xinqi's face disappeared, replaced by surprise, she didn't expect Ye Ren to be so careful, of course, she also had a kind of self-inflicted sentimentality, she didn't expect Ye Ren to be so good to her.
Dong Jiao's expression was still jealous at this time.
"Rest for five minutes and then hurry. Ye Ren reminded the two sisters very firmly, but did not tell them about the "chasing soldiers" behind, he was afraid that the two sisters would be so frightened that they didn't know how to walk when they found out. Ye Ren still had a kind of luck in his heart, thinking that the three people behind might not be able to find them.
After resting, the three of them continued on their way.
About three o'clock in the afternoon, standing on the mountainside, the lake is already in sight, and bypassing the mountain along the mountainside, you can reach the lake, and the straight-line distance is less than one or two miles. The road ahead is even more dangerous, leaning against the mountain, only one person can pass through, the left side is the mountain, and the right side is the abyss. This road is not difficult for Ye Ren, but for the two girls, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and the first thing to overcome is the psychological barrier.
"Brother Ye Ren, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through here, let's find a good way to go. Wang Xinqi begged Ye Ren.
"Otherwise, let's spend it tomorrow, Ye Ren, today is too tired and dangerous. Dong Jiao also begged Ye Ren.
"It must be passed today. Ye Ren didn't look up at the two sisters, but from the brows he unlocked, the two sisters knew that his words could not be questioned at all.
If it weren't for the fear that the people behind would catch up, Ye Ren might have agreed to the two sisters' proposal, but now it is absolutely impossible to do so, once they rest, it is possible to be caught up, and through this road, at least ensure that a few of them are safe tonight, because the three people behind will not pass this road before dark. Approaching evening, the humidity in the mountains is getting heavier and heavier, and the stone road under their feet will become more and more slippery, they will not take this risk, so that Ye Ren and they can at least guarantee that they will be safe tonight.
