Ye Chengfeng didn't sleep until the morning last night, plus he had walked a lot of mountain roads in the past two days, so he slept very deeply, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.

When he came out of the room, he found that Shama Ayi's family was not there, according to Ye Chengfeng's understanding, it was almost noon now, Shama Ayi's father went to the mountains to collect medicine, and it was understandable that he had not come back for the time being, but shouldn't her mother be cooking on the stove?

But there was no one in the kitchen in the back room, not even a single onion and garlic on the stove, it was not that Ye Chengfeng was hungry and wanted to eat, but he felt a little strange.

Ye Chengfeng washed his face with the water in the backyard, and went out of the yard to walk around the village, but the village seemed to be much quieter than yesterday, and he didn't see anyone after shopping for a long time, he felt more and more strange in his heart, so he had a faint sense of ominousness.

finally met an uncle, Ye Chengfeng didn't know if he had given him cigarettes yesterday, so he immediately stepped forward and pulled the uncle and asked what was wrong.

I don't know if the uncle understood, he pointed fingers and talked to Ye Chengfeng, but Ye Chengfeng didn't understand a word, so he could only be anxious.

In the end, the uncle pointed to the deep mountains in the same place, and compared with Ye Chengfeng for a while, Ye Chengfeng finally understood something, as if the problem was there, but did the whole village go to the deep mountains?

Seeing that Ye Chengfeng still didn't understand, the uncle directly took Ye Chengfeng's hand and walked up the mountain, Ye Chengfeng knew that as long as he followed this uncle, he would know the truth.

The mountain road is far more rugged than the mountain road from the fairy stone to the village, there is no road at all in some places, there are wild plants everywhere that Ye Chengfeng has never seen, and after entering the forest, Ye Chengfeng is a little unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

But the uncle seemed to know the way, and gestured to let Ye Chengfeng follow him, shuttling through the lush mountains and forests like flat land, and soon Ye Chengfeng heard a human voice not far in front of him.

After bypassing a section of the bush for a while, Ye Chengfeng saw more than a dozen men from the village standing here, as if they were talking about something with anxious faces.

When Ye Chengfeng walked over, several village masters saw Ye Chengfeng and immediately pointed to the mountain forest in front of him and said something to Ye Chengfeng, but Ye Chengfeng still didn't understand.

However, Ye Chengfeng could see that the mountain forest in front of him seemed to be denser than the mountain forest they were in, and from a distance, it seemed that there was a layer of clouds and mist entangled, and there was a bottomless appearance.

Ye Chengfeng was thinking about what was going on, when a few people came out of the forest in front of him, all of them had a rope tied to them, and when they came back, they all untied the rope with a disappointed face, and said something to the villagers.

At this time, I heard a woman crying not far away, Ye Chengfeng turned his head to look, and saw that it was Shama Ayi's mother, and immediately ran over and asked what was going on.

Shama Ayi's mother looked at Ye Chengfeng with tears in her eyes, pointed to the mountains and forests in front of her, spoke the Yi language that Ye Chengfeng couldn't understand, and after talking for a long time, she couldn't understand Ye Chengfeng, so she simply didn't cry, she immediately stood up and was about to run towards the forest.

Fortunately, a few village men behind him stopped Shama Ayi's mother, as if to say something, Shama Ayi's mother struggled a few times, and gradually gave up, but the tears did not stop.

Ye Chengfeng seemed to understand something, didn't Shama Ayi's father go into the mountains to collect medicine all the year round, it must be related to her father, could it be that he fell into the cliff?

But Ye Chengfeng looked around and didn't see Shama Ayi, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, Shama Ayi wouldn't have an accident too, right?

Ye Chengfeng couldn't help but think that when the previous few big men came back, they were all tied with ropes, and with the clouds and mist in the mountains and forests in front of him, he immediately understood.

The mountain forest in front of him must be rarely entered by the villagers, and after entering, he may get lost, maybe Shama Ayi's father has entered this mountain forest, so the whole village is looking for him.

And what about Shama Ayi, did she also rush into this mountain forest to find her father?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, Ye Chengfeng immediately wanted to go into the mountains and forests to find Shama Ayi, but he was also stopped by the people in the village, and he pointed fingers at Ye Chengfeng, as if he was talking about how dangerous it was in the mountains and forests.

Ye Chengfeng can't manage so much, he can't watch Shama Ayi get lost in this mountain forest, he has to go in to find Shama Ayi, if he doesn't have to ask Shama Ayi to come back, maybe she won't enter this mountain forest.

The people in the village couldn't stop Ye Chengfeng, so they had to tie a rope to Ye Chengfeng's waist, and an uncle was talking to Ye Chengfeng.

Although Ye Chengfeng couldn't understand it, he could guess that he was probably telling himself that he must tie the rope on his body, and if he came to the end of the rope in the mountains and forests, he must not untie the rope, and he must follow the rope and come back.

In order to prevent the villagers from stopping themselves again, Ye Chengfeng nodded vigorously to indicate that he knew, regardless of whether he understood it or not.

The villagers were still not at ease, but an uncle still asked several young strong men in the village to tie ropes and enter the mountains and forests with Ye Chengfeng, so they were relieved to let Ye Chengfeng go.

Ye Chengfeng rushed into the mountain forest first, and as soon as he entered, he began to shout Shama Ayi's name, but the mountain forest here was denser than outside, and there were weeds more than a person tall between the trees, plus the clouds and mist, so he couldn't see the road ahead clearly.

Although Ye Chengfeng was anxious, he could only slow down and move forward slowly, calling Shama Ayi's name as he walked forward.

After a while, Ye Chengfeng found that his arm was bleeding, and he didn't even know when he was cut, maybe it was scratched by the branches and leaves of some grass when he was pushing away the grass.

As he walked, Ye Chengfeng found that the woods were starting to be a little quiet, and he couldn't hear any sound, not even a bird call, and then turned around to find that the strong men in the village who were following him were gone.

Ye Chengfeng touched the rope on his waist, his heart suddenly cooled, he didn't know when the rope on his waist was released, and if he wanted to turn back to find the rope at this time, he couldn't see the way back.

Ye Chengfeng has also watched a lot of movies about getting lost in the forest before, and he knows how terrible the consequences of getting lost here are, maybe he will have to shake around here for the rest of his life, and he may not be able to get out of this mountain forest until the day he dies.

The saddest result is that he is only one step away from leaving the mountains and forests, but he has already died here, thinking of this, Ye Chengfeng felt a little chill behind him.

However, when he thought that Shama Ayi was also under this kind of fear, Ye Chengfeng immediately mustered up his courage, Shama Ayi and his father were still waiting for someone to save them, how could he retreat at this time?

Besides, Ye Chengfeng understands even more that even if you retreat now, it will be too late, because he has no way back, and now there are only two ways in front of Ye Chengfeng.

Either just wait here to die, or keep walking until you find Shamaayi and her father.

Ye Chengfeng regained his confidence, and immediately took another step, calling Shama Ayi's name while pushing aside the only grass in front of him.

But faith is confidence, facts are facts, he doesn't know how long he has walked, his feet seem to be almost gone, he doesn't know how many scratches there are on his arms and face, and he can't shout the words Shama Ayi in his throat, but there are still no clues and voices to respond to him.

Ye Chengfeng still cheered himself up, telling himself not to lose hope, the more this time the more confident he must be, if he has the desire to be discouraged at this time, then not only will there be little hope of finding Shama Ayi and her father, but even he will die here.

He also told himself that even if he died, he had to find Shama Ayi first, and then he said that when he and Shama Ayi were in Mogadishu, they had never seen any life and death, and in that environment, he and Shama Ayi could live, and this mountain forest was just a small hurdle in life.

Ye Chengfeng leaned on a tree, and after a short rest, he immediately began to walk forward again, calling Shama Ayi's name as he walked, and when he walked in front of a crooked neck tree, he suddenly felt that this crooked neck tree, he seemed to have seen it an hour, or even two or three hours ago, and a chill suddenly came up in his heart, could it be that he had been going around the same way?

After a short period of panic, Ye Chengfeng immediately realized that it was not a way to find it so aimlessly, he couldn't keep going around in circles innocently, he had to think of a way.

Ye Chengfeng found a sharp stone on the ground and carved a scratch on the crooked neck tree, and then carved one after every one or two trees.

At first, I thought it was okay, and when I encountered a tree with scratches in front of me, I knew that I was in a circle again, but after a long time, I found that this did not solve the problem.

First, the trees in this mountain forest are all 100 or even 1,000 years old, and it is very troublesome and time-consuming to carve a scratch on the hard and thick bark, and secondly, even if the scratch is carved, it is still difficult to avoid going back to the old path.

And at this time, the mountains and forests were getting darker and darker, and he couldn't see the sky at all when he looked up, but Ye Chengfeng could feel that it should be getting dark.

Ye Chengfeng purred a few times in his stomach at this time, and then realized that he hadn't eaten anything since he got up today.

He still kept cheering himself up, telling himself not to give up, maybe a few more steps later, and he would see Shamaayi and his father leaning against a tree.

However, when Ye Chengfeng walked all the way to the mountains and forests, and the whole darkness came down, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him at all, Ye Chengfeng had been holding his breath, and finally completely relaxed.

After this relaxation, he suddenly felt weak, and Ye Chengfeng was like a deflated ball, and he immediately sat down on the ground.

Ye Chengfeng, who was hungry and tired at this time, his mind was blank, and he could even feel that death was beckoning to him, and unconsciously, Ye Chengfeng closed his eyes.

Ye Chengfeng, who closed his eyes, seemed to see Shama Ayi again, and he and she were not in the mountain forest, nor in this mountain village, but in Mogadishu, he was sitting behind Shama Ayi, watching her busy.

Everything seemed to be back to before, but when Ye Chengfeng opened his eyes again, he found that he was still lying in the mountain forest, and the sky was already bright at this time, and the sky was still not visible above, only the dense leaves covered the blue sky.

Ye Chengfeng sat up, looked at the surrounding situation, and knew that he was dreaming just now, but he wished that it was a dream now.

However, reality is reality, he knew that he was too tired yesterday, so he fell asleep like this, but after waking up, he still continued to look for Shama Ayi and her father today.
