Meng Ruoxi and the four of them came to the city very early, because today is the last day, so they must race against time. Jiang Feng and Yeyang have their own jobs, and after arriving in the city and parking the truck, they are separated from Meng Ruoxi.

"Now, we can't hold back, let's go, flowers, make money!"

Meng Ruoxi pointed to the front with one hand and said confidently, the vigorous morning sun made her feel good.

"Hmm." Qianyue Huajian's voice answered softly, and she silently followed behind Meng Ruoxi with a smile on her face.

It's still early, many shops haven't opened yet, and the two of them can only wander around with the mentality of "surveying the terrain".

Just when she walked to a certain section of North Street, Meng Ruoxi suddenly stopped.

"How... What's wrong? Qianyue asked softly.

"Hanama, that man...... Is it Xia Yuexiang from the next class? ”

Meng Ruoxi pointed to a breakfast shop that had already opened, frowned and asked, her mood began to fluctuate a little.

But she saw this scene, in that store, Xia Yuexiang was sitting at a table with a boy, chatting happily.

This scene is very ironic in her eyes, she values the person she likes and likes other girls.

Jue Ling and Xia Yuexiang are childhood sweethearts, and the two like each other.

Although Meng Ruoxi has a heart, she thinks that she is not qualified to intervene, and she is willing to support and bless silently by following Jue Ling's choice.

In fact, a large part of the reason is...... She wasn't sure if her heart was about love between a man and a woman.

She only knew that she didn't hate Jue Ling, and she had a certain degree of affection for him, even if her body had intimate contact, she wouldn't feel very strange!

Jue Ling likes Xia Yuexiang, she knows it, and naturally hopes that Xia Yuexiang also likes Jue Ling, so as not to make this boy who is sad in life even more hurt.

However, now, Xia Yuexiang was chatting happily with a strange boy, and she didn't think about keeping a certain distance from other members of the opposite sex for the sake of Jue Ling.

It's as if she doesn't care about Jue Ling's heart for her at all.

Meng Ruoxi is very unwilling and unhappy about this, is her childhood sweetheart just like this, no matter how you say it, you should care more about Jue Ling, what is this!?

"Well, it's Xia Yuexiang." Qianyue Huajian responded timidly.

"Since we met, let's go say hello."

After Meng Ruoxi finished speaking, she walked towards the open store.

"Alas~, wait... Wait, Ruoxi ......" Qianyue Huajian hurriedly followed, but he was very reluctant to come into direct contact with Xia Yuexiang.

"Ah, what a coincidence, classmate Xia Yuexiang, it's really you!"

Meng Ruoxi walked into the store, walked directly to Xia Yuexiang and the man's table and sat down, not thinking of herself as an outsider at all, and greeted herself.

Although it is very rude to disturb someone to speak. But for the sake of her honest tablemates, she couldn't help but do it.

Fortunately, Xia Yuexiang didn't care about etiquette, and responded enthusiastically: "It's Meng Ruoxi, and Huajian, did your team come to the city so early?" ”

"Well, because today is the last day, I want to try my best to get some results."

Meng Ruoxi nodded, pulled the Qianyue Flower standing behind her to sit down, and asked quietly, "Classmate Xia Yuexiang, who is this classmate?" I haven't seen him at school, is he your friend here? ”

Xia Yuexiang shook her head with a smile and said, "I only met him, and I can talk to him a lot, and the topics can be talked about together, so I should be friends!" As for his name, I don't know. ”

After hearing this, the man on the other side immediately stood up gentlemanly and said gently: "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself for so long."

My name is Xie Yang, thank you for "Xie", the sun for "Yang", if you don't mind, you can call me Yang. ”

Meng Ruoxi took a serious look at this boy whose appearance exceeded the passing line, and he should be a popular master at school. However, if you want Xia Yuexiang, who has an outstanding appearance, to fall in love at first sight, she has not yet reached that standard.

Even if the two are meeting for the first time, there is nothing to doubt. Meng Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Xie Yang... Classmate, you're a local student, right? ”

"Well, I'm a sophomore at Xuemo High School." Xie Yang sat down and replied, "This shop is where I come every morning when I go to school, and even on weekends, I can't help but ......."

"That's it, then Huajian and I will also eat breakfast here", Meng Ruoxi interjected, and then diverted the topic: "However, it's really a shame that Xie Yang can get up so early on the weekend, I can't do it." ”

Xie Yang smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly and said, "Get used to it, the high school journey is almost over, and you still have to work hard at the end."

By the way, what do you mean by "get a little bit of success"? ”

"That's the ......," Xia Yuexiang said the content of this school trip very directly.

Meng Ruoxi's suspicion suddenly made it again, this is not something that can be said to strangers who meet for the first time!

This boy is just a passerby at best, and he doesn't need to explain the matter of the school trip, let alone submit it so carefully.

Heart-to-heart, she would never say so much about herself to a stranger.

Xia Yuexiang's behavior is strange, and two conclusions can be drawn. For one, it wasn't the first time she had met this boy at all. Second, she was originally this confused character.

So, which one is it......

At this time, Xie Yang digested all the information and said: "I probably understand the rules of your event, everyone is self-reliant, and the one who makes the most money will be the winner of the event."

If that's the case, once I have a good place to introduce you, I once found three ginseng sticks of not low age in the forest of the northern district, and you should be able to get a lot of money by digging them up and selling them. ”

"Well, really?" Meng Ruoxi looked stunned.

"Really, when I came out of the North Forest, I also drew a map, if you need it, you can refer to it!"

Xie Yang took out a yellowed piece of paper from the backpack he was carrying, handed it to Meng Ruoxi, and paused halfway: "However, the words of strangers are not worth believing." ”

Meng Ruoxi smiled awkwardly and took the map, and looked at it seriously, the map has been some years, and it is indeed hand-drawn.

But the setting of the map that Xie Yang brought with him is too suspicious, things like this that are often not used are usually kept at home and hidden!

In addition to this, let's talk about the value of ginseng, ten years of ginseng can be sold at a very expensive price. Why did this boy who met for the first time give up his precious ginseng to a stranger?

There are too many suspicious things, but Xie Yang's last sentence "The words of strangers are not worth believing" made her heart shake.

"That, classmate Xie Yang, don't you want ginseng?"

Meng Ruoxi asked tentatively with a half-believing attitude, her eyes closely observing the change in Xie Yang's expression.

"Haha, I don't dare to go to the forest again."

Xie Yang smiled, touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I saw something terrible when I went to the North Side Forest, I think it was probably the so-called "ghost"!"

"Ghosts?"

Meng Ruoxi and Qianyue Hua smelled the color change, if there is that kind of thing, it is really better not to go......

"That may be your hallucination, classmate Xie Yang, how can there be ghosts in this world, everything can be explained by scientific evidence, if there are really ghosts, I would like to see it." Xia Yuexiang smiled and said indifferently.

"yes, I think it might be a hallucination. But even if it was an illusion, the psychological shadow left on me was not small, and I didn't dare to go to that forest again. Xie Yang said ashamedly.

"Then we will be disrespectful to this map, if conditions allow, I will return the money from the sale of ginseng to you after the event."

Xia Yuexiang decided the matter without authorization, and then turned around and asked, "Meng Ruoxi, Huajian, do you want to go with me?" ”

Complicated emotions appeared on Meng Ruoxi's face, and she hesitated. Listening to a stranger, going to a strange place, no matter how you think about it, feels dangerous.

However, if you can get those few ginseng sticks, the money from the sale may be able to turn the tide of this showdown.

The conditions are very attractive, and the time for the event is only today, so instead of looking for those low-paying jobs, it is better to let go and fight hard.

Well, it works, there are three of us, and there will be no problem.

Meng Ruoxi finally made a decision and agreed to Xia Yuexiang's request, and Qianyue Huajian had no choice but to agree.

After that, the man borrowed the mobile phone of the thousand moon flowers, made a call, and left the contact information by the way.

Then, the three of them said goodbye to the man and went straight to the North Forest.

It was indeed an extremely gloomy forest, with very dense trees, and without a map, the average person would definitely get lost if they walked in it.

The trio cautiously explored the forest, and after nearly an hour, following the route on the map, they were already halfway there.

Xia Yuexiang took the initiative to take a break and then continue on her way.

Meng Ruoxi agreed, she was indeed tired of walking.

The Thousand Moon Blossom Room was an idle lord, and after resting for a while, he got up and said, "That...... The map shows that there is a river nearby, and the stream in the forest should be unpolluted, so I'll go get some water for you to drink. ”

"No, among the flowers, really, the sun is all shaded by trees, and it's not very hot."

Meng Ruoxi hurriedly waved her hand and said, how could it be possible to let a girl walk in this forest.

Qianyuehuajian did not accept this intention, put down the map in his hand, took the plastic bottle in his hand, trotted away, and said before leaving:

"It's okay, it's not very far, I'll make a mark along the way, and I'll be back soon."

As a result, Qianyue Huajian went and didn't come back for a long time, and Meng Ruoxi was very worried.

"I'll go see her," Xia Yuexiang said, getting up and heading in the direction that Qianyue Hanama had left before.

After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, Xia Yuexiang came back alone, shook her head and said, "I didn't see any trace of Hanama's classmates, and there was no stream over there." Hanama-san should have been separated from us, and besides, we may also be deceived.

The authenticity of this map has yet to be verified. ”

Under the double pressure of the separation of friends and the authenticity of the map, Meng Ruoxi suddenly panicked, and asked with a shortage of brains: "Then what should we do next?" ”

Xia Yuexiang thought for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "Follow this map and keep going, praying that the other party will not do things perfectly."

If we can get out of the forest, we will immediately call for help and find a search and rescue team to find Hanama-san. ”

Meng Ruoxi is currently distracted, she listens to whatever Xia Yuexiang says, and does not make any rebuttals.

However, according to this map, they have been walking around the forest, and they always feel that walking everywhere is like returning to the original point, and they can't get out.

At a certain moment, Xia Yuexiang stopped and said solemnly: "It's not a way to go on like this, classmate Meng Ruoxi, I think it's better for us to go separately." ”

"Why do you want to go apart?"

Meng Ruoxi asked in a panic, she didn't dare to imagine the picture of herself lost in this forest alone.

Xia Yuexiang explained: "Because we continue to walk like this, I am afraid that we will never be able to leave this forest. So, we have to go separately, two people go in different directions, and if we're lucky, one person will always walk out of the forest. ”

For this explanation, Meng Ruoxi couldn't find any reason to refute it, and asked in her heart: "But, what if we all go wrong?" ”

"This kind of thing is left to fate."

Xia Yuexiang said with a persistent and serious expression, looked around, and designated two directions: "You go this way, I'll go that way." ”

"Hmm... Well! ”

Meng Ruoxi gritted her teeth and responded, there were a thousand and ten thousand unwillingness in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't make trouble unreasonably at this time.

Thinking of the picture of a person lost in the forest among the thousand moon flowers, there was a hint of firmness in her eyes: she must get out of the mountains and forests as soon as possible, and then find someone to save the flowers.

"We are going in the opposite direction, one person walking out of the forest represents another person going deep into the mountains. Therefore, we need to leave marks along the way, so that people who go in the wrong direction can return the same way according to the marks they left. ”

Xia Yuexiang took a few more seconds to think of a more perfect way to survive, and made a comprehensive arrangement: "Similarly, if both of us go in the wrong direction, we can also meet according to the mark." ”

"What do you want to use as a mark?" Meng Ruoxi asked.

"In these conditions, I can't find any reliable tools to make marks, so I use this branch to make marks, like this."

Xia Yuexiang broke off the dry branches of the nearest tree and made a demonstration: "Draw a horizontal line on the ground with branches along the way, and draw as deep as possible to avoid being damaged by external factors."

If you come across a piece of land where the branches can't move, use nearby leaves or stones instead to make a route. ”

"Oh", Meng Ruoxi nodded, this kind of simple marking method is convenient for her, a person who doesn't like to use her brain, and it is easy to remember.

"First, let's find two thick branches nearby."
