Chapter 19: Losing a Man
"What are you waiting here for, why don't you leave?" Leng Yuan asked strangely.
"It's not dawn yet, it's still half an hour's drive from the highway here, and it's very sleepy to walk over on foot, not to mention ......" Xia Wei didn't say the latter words, but everyone understood that if they encountered something beyond their cognition when they ran at night again, it would be too late to regret it.
"We're here until dawn before we go, and I don't want to stay in this place!" The landlady said with a sigh.
"It's good!"
In order to let He Yu in his arms sleep comfortably, he had to wake up He Yu and let her fall asleep on horseback first, he lit a fire on the spot around, most of the fires were branches, and there were dry leaves piled on both sides of the road, and the fire was naturally not as usual, because of the addition of leaves, a stream of smoke choked people's tears out, but everyone not only did not leave but surrounded them.
"Sit on me, it's cold on the ground!"
Leng Yuan sat on the ground and let He Yu sit on his lap, and then he took off his clothes and covered He Yu's body. He Yu's body was still a little restrained at first, but as the warm feeling came, he couldn't help but soften, and he was attached to Leng Yuan's arms like water. Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she was a little shy, and had to straighten her body a little and try not to be too intimate.
It's just that even if she insists so much, how long can she last, the warm, comfortable and sweet feeling finally made her give up her shyness, and before she knew it, she fell asleep like a cat, and Leng Yuan really wanted to laugh when she saw it, if she didn't have to pester to listen to the story, she wouldn't be sleepy like this.
He Yu fell asleep in Leng Yuan's arms, but the others were not in the mood. Originally, it was eight when it came, but now there are only seven left, and a big living person died in front of his eyes, and the funny thing is that he doesn't know how his companion died.
"What time is it and what time is it?"
Tian Na has regained her senses, from the initial madness to normal, if it weren't for Qian Liang hurriedly pulling her down, maybe she would have died a long time ago, don't look at her chattering non-stop, but with sincere help, she will keep it in mind, what is the use of words, it is better to put it in actual action. She looked down at her phone, wondering what time it was, but there was no power because of the cold.
"Three twenty! It's two and a half hours before dawn! ”
Xia Wei sighed. She wears a mechanical watch that is not affected by temperature, so she knows the time. This is all the experience accumulated in ordinary times, and the critical moment has to be these special timing tools, especially mechanical timing tools, and only this kind of watch is reliable when in distress.
"It's still a while before dawn, so it's not a way to wait, are we going to do something?"
Tian Na suggested with a frown. For such a long time, just the fire for heating is a problem, and if you don't move for a few hours, such a cold day will freeze to death, you must know that they are wearing underwear and coats, and it will be troublesome when the wind blows through, but not everyone is so lucky to have a hug in their arms.
"I'm going to find something to start a fire nearby."
Qian Liang rubbed his hands and stood up and said. There is only a vacant lot in front of the old house, which is connected to the mountain road leading to the national highway. Under the mountain road, it is a cliff that is dozens of zhang deep, and falling down is bound to be shattered, which is no different from jumping off a building, but fortunately, there are a few crooked neck trees sporadically growing on the edge of the cliff, Zhao Bo borrowed a sword from Leng Yuan and cut two large bundles of tree trunks with Qian Liang.
If it weren't for the flashlights they used to illuminate, it would have been difficult for the two men to have the courage to leave the fire. But there's no way to do it, who called it except Leng Yuan and the two of them, Leng Yuan has already lit a fire, and there is a girl sleeping on his body, so he can't go with Leng Yuan, right? Fortunately, the two didn't encounter anything when they were chopping wood, otherwise they would have jumped off the cliff in fright.
"Thank you for the sword! Very sharp! ”
After coming back, Zhao Bo returned the sword and praised it from the bottom of his heart. In fact, it is not accurate to simply say that it is sharp, the sword mixed with the Netherworld Divine Iron is sharp like mud for cutting gold and jade, and the steel bar with the thickness of the wrist can be easily cut off even if the person carrying the sword is a child, and the section is as smooth as a mirror. Such a sharp sword is nothing to cut a few tree trunks, and it is about the same as tofu.
Tian Na sighed in the palm of her hand and began to add wood to the fire. If you think about it, the trunk of the tree was cut from the tree, and even if there were no leaves, it was still damp, and when it was placed on the fire, it began to smoke, and the people kept coughing, especially when there was a whirlwind, and none of the seven or eight people around it escaped the end of being smoked.
"Leng Yuan brought your sword to lend me the envoy."
Tian Na took the sword and cut the firewood in her hand into sections, and then set up the firewood and split it in half, and then split the remaining two parts once, so that the thigh-thick log completely became firewood, and the landlord Sister Hong also came over to help Tian Na stand up the log upright, which was convenient for work, so that it was not so cold to move.
"We ...... How is there a lack of someone? ”
Xia Wei observed a few people around her while roasting the fire, but she counted carefully, plus she was only seven, obviously it was eight, and one Sun Dasheng died, who was the lost person? For a moment, Xia Wei only felt that the back of her spine was bubbling with cold air, and she couldn't help but shiver, and her voice trembled a little.
"What did you say?" Tian Na was suddenly stunned.
"I said, why is there a lack of someone? What about Xiaofang? Where is she? Xia Wei stood up suddenly.
"Where's Xiaofang?"
This was a common question for those present. It was only at this time that everyone found out that there was one less person in their team unconsciously, and subconsciously everyone actually regarded the landlady as Xiao Fang. What's even more terrifying is that everyone didn't find any trace of her at all, and they didn't even hear any terrifying sounds.
"If you think about it carefully, Xiao Fang doesn't seem to have gone downstairs at all!" Zhao Bo said with a frown. He recalled it carefully, and it seemed that there were seven people who came down after that scream, that is, these people who were present, and at that time, because of some factors such as fear and nervousness, they actually regarded the landlord as Xiao Fang, if it weren't for Xia Wei who found that everyone still couldn't remember Xiao Fang.
"That's right, she didn't come out at all, there were only five of us who came out of the third floor, and there was no Xiaofang in it at all, at first I thought she was still asleep, but after waiting down, I forgot about her, damn it!" Xia Wei cursed, stood up and ran towards the courtyard, but was stopped by Zhao Bo on the side.
"Why are you going, we finally came out, do you still want to go back to die?" Zhao Bo said angrily.
"I brought Xiaofang here, I should take her out and let go!" Xia Wei's strength was surprisingly great, and she pushed Zhao Bo away with a flick of her hand.
"Stop!" Zhao Bo seemed to be really anxious, and almost shouted angrily, "Sun Dasheng is dead, haven't you reacted yet, how could Sun Dasheng in that state let out such a strong and terrible scream, and it can still be heard by us so far away, seven people, don't you really know what it means?" ”
Xia Wei only took one step and stopped, Zhao Bo was right, that terrible cry came from the first floor, how could a man make that kind of sound that pierced the sky, not to mention that Sun Dasheng was outside, and his body became like that again, even if it was intact, it was difficult to reach their ears through the heavy wooden walls.
"I just don't want to see her get an accident!"
Xia Wei's voice was already crying when she said a word, she was really a little scared, she always hoped to really experience a strange event in nature, and use the knowledge and insight she learned to break through the layers of cages to prove her uniqueness, now she has experienced it herself, but the result is so cruel, death is so sudden, life is so fragile, at this moment she suddenly feels that she is nothing, what she has learned in ordinary times is not used at all, she is so helpless at this time.
"Alas," Zhao Bo hugged Xia Wei in his arms and comforted, "The current situation is not something that can be resisted by manpower at all, and now we can only wait until dawn." When dawn everything will be broken, then we will be safe, if Xiaofang's life is great, then we will look for her after dawn. Zhao Bo didn't say the next words, but Xia Wei understood, if she couldn't find Xiaofang, she could only blame her for her thin life.
