Commander Wu's keen observation is indeed unique, and after wandering around for an hour, he finally found traces of someone walking by.

Although I don't know who it is, after all, there is a harvest, Chen Yichen seems to have grasped a life-saving straw, and the flame of hope soon made him full of confidence.

Determine the direction and follow the traces left behind. There was not much communication along the way, and the two walked side by side, not daring to be careless. After walking for more than an hour, the traces left on the ground became messy.

Commander Wu half-squatted on the ground, his eyes slightly wrinkled, carefully observing the sudden changes.

"What did you find?" Chen Yichen also has some experience in tracking prey, and in his early years, he followed the village hunters to hunt in the mountains, which is a necessary skill.

In the current situation, without Commander Wu speaking, it can already be seen that there have been at least three people walking together here. The traces of being trampled on are more like the traces of a fight, or more like the traces left by a struggle.

"Don't look at it, at least the traces left by three hours ago. Chen Yichen saw that Commander Wu was still squatting on the ground and said, "There is frost on the dry grass that has been trampled. ”

Commander Wu looked up at the sun, the hour had passed, but the sun was not so strong, and the frost formed by last night's low temperature was still attached to the dryness and had not yet faded.

"I didn't expect you to be very careful. Commander Wu looked carefully at the withered grass in front of him, and indeed, although there were traces of being trampled on, the frost on it was very intact. That alone is enough to be sure that no one has been here before dawn.

Chen Yichen didn't care about his praise. There is no Li Wanwan by his side, as if he has changed. I don't want to say a word, what I am worried about is where Li Wanwan is, and even at this time, I don't want Li Wanwan to pass by here.

Hope is only hope, not reality. After continuing to walk forward for half an hour, it became more and more difficult to walk under my feet, and looking at the terrain, this was not the road at all.

"Wait a minute. ”

Commander Wu's eyes seemed to see something, and he suddenly stopped Chen Yichen, took a step back, and slowly squatted on the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Commander Wu gently picked up the withered yellow straw with both hands, gently pinched the contents with his fingers, slowly raised it to his eyes, and said, "Have you ever seen this thing?"

Chen Yichen's pupils contracted, and he took three steps and one step at a time, and ran to him. snatched the things from his hand, his trembling hands clenched, and his eyes focused on the hosta.

The jade hairpin in his hand is too familiar, crisscrossed by white and green, and the hairpin head is carved with a blooming flower. The material can only be regarded as a middle and lower grade, and the carving is even more clumsy.

This hosta is a piece of jade that Chen Yichen picked up by chance when he went hunting in the mountains two years ago. After going back, it took a lot of effort to polish the jade into a hairpin and give it to Li Wanwan.

Since then, she has never seen her wear it, and Chen Yichen has even forgotten about it. If I hadn't seen it again today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered that I had given Li Wanwan such a clumsy gift.

"What is this?" Li Wanwan took the thing in his hand, quickly came to his senses, stuck out his tongue, and said, "What an ugly hairpin." ”

Chen Yichen didn't speak, just smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and scratched his head.

"What's wrong with your hand?" the attentive Li Wanwan finally found the dense wounds on his hand.

"It's okay, when I was making hairpins, I accidentally scratched some skin. ”

"Did you make this hairpin yourself?" Li Wanwan's immature face was full of amazement, and he looked at it again and said, "No wonder it's so ugly and so rough." ”

"I've put a lot of effort into it, and I only made one of the big stones. When Chen Yichen spoke, his hands were still comparing the size of the jade.

"Then you're too stupid. In the future, you have to be smart, so that my father will like you and be willing to teach you martial arts. Li Wanwan put the hairpin in the bun and said, "Is it good-looking?"

Chen Yichen nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "I'm not stupid, I've already started learning martial arts." ”

"You've been studying for so long, you can't even beat me, and you say you're not stupid. Li Wanwan pushed casually, Chen Yichen stood unsteadily, retreated two steps back, and almost didn't fall. I heard her continue: "You have to practice martial arts well, otherwise how will you protect me in the future." ”

"Good. Chen Yichen looked at her and smirked, "I will definitely be able to protect you in the future." ”

"Come here, let me see your hands. Li Wanwan took his hand, leaned over gently, pursed his lips and blew gently, and said, "Does it hurt." ”

"It doesn't hurt at all. Chen Yichen's head shook like a rattle, and he grinned.

"For your stupid sake, I'll take the hairpin you gave me. Li Wanwan gently pulled the hairpin off her head and said, "Although it's so ugly, don't worry, I'll take good care of it." ”

This is the only fragment left in the depths of Chen Yichen's memory, and what he didn't expect was that it was such a clumsy and rough hairpin, but Li Wanwan always carried it with him and regarded it as a treasure.

Looking at the hairpin in his hand, his heart became more and more uneasy. Now one thing is certain, Li Wanwan did pass by here. What the hell happened, and who did she meet?

"It's a Juan'er thing. Chen Yichen looked around, there was not the slightest human population in the wilderness, not even a bird.

With a twitch in her heart, Chen Yichen couldn't imagine what she had experienced. A young girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, she is far away from home for the first time, and she escapes death again and again. And he doesn't have the ability to protect her, perhaps, the outside world is really not suitable.

"Since the hairpin is lost here, it is enough to prove that she is not dead. Commander Wu looked at him with a look of affirmation, and analyzed: "There are no traces of a fight here, I think even if she is caught, she will be safe for the time being, and the person they want is you." Rest assured, Jiren has its own natural appearance. ”

"Chase. ”

Chen Yichen also agreed with what he said, he wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. Since there are still traces here, we have to chase them all the way. Judging from the situation analyzed by Commander Wu, they can't catch themselves, and they can indeed ensure her safety for the time being. For them, killing Li Wanwan is no good, keeping her can threaten themselves.

Thinking about this, Chen Yichen felt a little comforted in his heart, as long as people lived. Don't dare to delay for a moment, carefully put away the jade hosta, and continue to trace along the traces left behind.

Chen Yichen's head struggled all the way, and there were all kinds of fantasies and hopes. The hosta in her arms made all this a virtual shadow, and now the only hope is that Li Wanwan is still alive.

The road is getting more and more rugged, if it weren't for the traces of being trampled on the ground, Chen Yichen would never believe that there would still be people in such a barren place.

His face became more and more ugly, and when Chen Yichen saw the cliff not far in front of him, he only felt that the world was spinning. I still have luck in my heart, and I stop with a strong fighting spirit. I want to move on, but I don't dare to take a step.

"There are blood stains. ”

As soon as Commander Wu's words fell, he regretted it, and the blood stains on the ground were ten steps away from Chen Yichen. In addition to the bloodstains, there was also a pink shoe scattered on the ground, and the blood stains on it were particularly dazzling.

The scene in front of him made Chen Yichen unconscious. His face was like ashes, and he didn't even know how to walk past. He fell to his knees, his hands trembling and reaching for the shoe, two tear streaks slid from his eyes. His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Time, in this moment, stops passing. The muscles on Chen Yichen's face twitched, as if he was laughing. The tears that slipped down his cheeks wantonly, but he seemed to be crying.

I don't know when it will be gloomy. Light snowflakes like dancing jade butterflies flew down from the sky and landed silently on shoes. I wanted to grasp the falling jade butterfly in my hand, but the temperature of my fingertips quickly turned it into nothingness.

For him, the sky had fallen and the whole world had become unimportant. The body is no longer conscious, and the only thing I can feel is the pain sticking out of my heart, like a needle prick.

Standing up from the ground, his hollow eyes looking at the long streaks of blood. Feet move slowly, one step, two steps, three steps. It seems to be looking for her last trace. It seems to be looking for what she has experienced.

Until the blood stains disappeared on the edge of the cliff, Chen Yichen finally stopped. Behind him, Commander Wu stretched out his hand and retracted it stiffly, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.

He didn't know what to say, let alone how to comfort the young man in front of him. The cliff in front of me is bottomless, and if there is still hope for people to live at this time, I am afraid that I don't even believe it. All this happens, and it has something to do with yourself. Although he blamed himself, he had seen life and death, and he knew that the only thing he could do was to save Chen Yichen's life at all costs.

Looking at the shoes in his hand, Chen Yichen began to resent himself. resented why he left Lingxi Mountain, why he went to Liuhua Town, why he chose to go to Mocheng, why he wanted to eavesdrop, why he went to snitch, why he didn't protect Wan'er.

If the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, then go against the sky.

He thought of someone. A person who has never really met, but has met countless times in dreams.

He finally understood what he was feeling, he understood the look in his eyes. It is the helplessness of being abandoned by the whole world, it is the anger of hatred, it is the despair of the injustice of the world.

He and him, empathize.

He wants to go with her, but he doesn't want to be like him with regrets, and he can't let his beloved woman die like this. Death, Chen Yichen is not afraid. There are some things that must be done before you die.

Crystal clear snowflakes flutter and fall, dancing in the air in various gestures. or flying, or circling, or falling straight and fast. Fall to the earth, stand in the treetops, cover your shoulders. At this moment, everything is silent, and it seems to be deep, as if there are a thousand emotions. It's like a raging sea, trying to drown everything.

The two of them stood in silence in front of the cliff, and after some time, a layer of snow piled up. From a distance, it looks like two snow sculptures, standing on the cliff. The earth has been covered with snow, and it is silently like a different world. The traces left by Li Wanwan seem to have never appeared.

Finally, Chen Yichen turned around. The snow on his body is like an abandoned hope, falling into the abyss.
