.............

Meng Yao is gone?

When Bai Yexiao heard this, he was stunned, and he should have sent those experts out to go back, but he raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Seven fifteen minutes.

Then he retracted his gaze and looked at the people again, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll send you out." ”

The special car for the return trip was waiting outside the door, and Bai Yexiao sent the experts out and got into the car with a calm face.

Only before closing the car door, he said lightly, "Rong Shao doesn't want any other people to know about this matter." ”

"Yes, yes, it must be kept secret, it must be ......"

Medical experts are all in agreement, which is a kind of commitment, which is also a medical ethics.

Although the mountains and rivers here are long and the road is rugged, and they have to suffer a lot to come in and go back, Rong Xiu has paid more than their wages over the years combined, so there is no reason for them to leak things out again.

"Okay, go slowly."

Bai Yexiao closed the car door and watched the off-road vehicle leave, and then returned to the yard.

.................

Several other people were still standing in the living room, and Gu Feiyan looked at Bai Yexiao who turned around and walked back in disbelief.

Obviously, she herself said the words Meng Yao disappeared so hard just now, is the man in front of her pretending not to hear it?! And he actually went out to give people away so calmly, without even any change in his eyes!

Gu Feiyan was furious, "Bai Yexiao, are you cold-blooded?!" Even if someone you don't know is missing, you have to show something, right?! ”

Luo Junqian stretched out his hand to suppress her, preventing her from rushing over.

The tickling power of her ten-fingered dankom, he thought he would try it alone, not to mention that it not only hurts, but also ecstasy......

"Let go of me! The old lady wants to scratch his face! ”

Sure enough, Gu Feiyan was really angry.

When Bai Yexiao heard this, he still had no expression, and his gaze did not change at all.

The others knew that his temperament had always been like this, and Tarzan did not change his face before he collapsed. also knew that between him and Meng Yao was just a falling flower and deliberately ruthless, but he didn't think he was ruthless, he just felt that he was ...... He was a little colder.

Bai Yexiao walked over unhurriedly, and his pace maintained a consistent rhythm.

The crowd looked at him, and just when everyone thought he was going to pass them and continue upstairs, they saw him stop.

"The ladies stayed for dinner, and the men, with me, divided into two groups, took water and dry food and flashlights, went back to the room to change into jackets, and each group brought a thin blanket and a satellite phone, and we continued to go out to find someone."

Simply and neatly arranged, without half a minute of hesitation, except that the expression was still calm that people couldn't see anything, these words were really impeccable.

Gu Feiyan's anger dissipated, and she wondered whether the man was seriously giving people away just now, or thinking about how to save people.

In a short period of time, the thinking is quite clear.

Mu Wenjing walked over and pulled Gu Feiyan's sleeve, "Let's go out and find someone too, we can handle it by eating some dry food." ”

"That's what I mean, too."

"You can't go, you can't just leave Rong Xiu and Xia Nianxi here, in case they want someone to help, you can deal with it." After Bai Yexiao finished speaking, he had already gone upstairs to his room.

.............

Moments later, four men gathered in the living room downstairs.

Mu Yuchen and Luo Junqian are in a group, Ji Qianli and Bai Yexiao are in a group.

This is what the young master of the Ji family asked for himself - he is afraid of the dark and ghosts, and he is also afraid that his flowery face and delicate body will have some accidents in the process of searching for people, and no one will treat him.

Among all the partners at present, only Bai Yexiao can give him a sense of security.

The four men put their bags on their backs and soon disappeared into the night of the small fishing village.

Gu Feiyan and Mu Wenjing also went to the restaurant to eat something indiscriminately, and stayed in the living room, the only thing they could do was wait.

Time clicked by until midnight, and there was no news of their return.

The two women couldn't sleep, Gu Feiyan was swiping the news on her mobile phone on the sofa, and when she saw the headlines pushed out by a news APP client, she sat up straight suddenly, "God...... It's really ......."

"How?" Mu Wenjing raised her head and asked neatly.

"Look-" Gu Feiyan threw the phone to her.

Mu Wenjing clicked on it, she had always been calm and calm, and she was slightly surprised when she saw the headlines of the headlines-

[Rong's stock fell for two consecutive days, and it was rumored that the president of Rong's Group was missing......]

[A spokesman for Yung said that the president was on a business trip in Europe and it was inconvenient to contact him.] ]

[The groundbreaking date for Yung's latest project was postponed due to Yung Xiu's inability to attend......]

It's full of negative press.

She looked at it for a while before returning the phone to Gu Feiyan, "Do you want to tell the one upstairs?" ”

"You think he'll not know?" Gu Feiyan glanced at a certain bedroom door on the second floor, "It's impossible not to know ......"

She met Luo Junqian when she was a teenager, and she also met Rong Xiu and several others.

She has heard a little bit about the Rong family.

Rong Xiu can sit in the position of president in his early twenties, and naturally he is not a vegetarian, what kind of momentum can hide from him?

So it's not that he didn't know about the news, he just selectively ignored it.

Gu Feiyan looked upstairs, and a different look gradually appeared in his eyes.

Mu Wenjing also figured out the reason, and saw Gu Feiyan's eyes that seemed to be lonely and envious at the moment, so she asked, "Do you envy them?" ”

"Well," Gu Feiyan's voice lowered several degrees, propped up his chin and nodded, "Don't you envy?" ”

There are many kinds of women, weak, strong, charming, hot, quirky......

But no matter what kind of woman is, she will long for a man who can spoil her to heaven, and when she has an accident, he can ignore anything, even if he is the enemy of the whole world, he must be firmly by his side.

Mu Wenjing was noncommittal, and glanced at her, "Aren't you and Luo Shao?" ”

Himself and Luo Junqian? Gu Feiyan smiled faintly and looked at the dark sky outside the window.

At this moment, the loneliness of the whole world was placed in her eyes.

Her back looks quiet and smart, and her usual charm and flamboyance have been put into her magic box and hidden.

Mu Wenjing didn't ask any more questions, she only lowered her head and thought of Ji Qianli......

....................

Mu Yuchen and Luo Junqian continued to look along the seaside, and they didn't let anyone go, holding the photo of Meng Yao in their mobile phones and asking again and again.

But they found nothing.

Bai Yexiao took Ji Qianli to the mountain behind the small fishing village, and when he left the entrance of the village, he found a few little children squatting on the ground and forming a group, holding a few small stones in their hands to win or lose, and a plastic bag was placed in the open space in the middle.

That package......

He stepped forward directly, "Where did you guys come from?" ”

It was impossible to buy this small fishing village of chocolate beans, and he probably remembered that Meng Yao took a bag in his hand some time ago and thought he was very sexy and teased him, asking him if he wanted to take a pill of this 'Mighty King Kong Ten Perfection Pills'.

Of course, he wouldn't believe her nonsense, knowing that it was just ordinary chocolate chips, and just ignored her at the time.

Several of the children were startled, and they got up and ran around, and one of them, the monkey-like one, grabbed the bag of chocolate chips and ran the fastest.

Bai Yexiao took him back in two steps, "I'm a doctor, if I don't say anything, I'll take you to get an injection." ”

"Wow-" the kid opened his mouth and cried, and immediately confessed, "Yes...... It was a woman who gave me ......."

"Do you know her name?"

The little monkey spirit shook his head.

"What do you say about her features!" Ji Qianli was anxious next to him, "Well, short hair, jeans, and, and-"

Bai Yexiao pointed his finger at Ji Qianli and continued to ask, "Does that woman look more like a man than him?" ”

"......" The little monkey spirit looked at Ji Qianli, hesitated for a second, and immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

Ji Qianli: "......"

"Why did she give you this chocolate bean?"

"Because we were at the beach in the morning and we were talking nonsense, she came to us again after a while, told us to repeat what we had said in the morning, and then gave us this delicious thing."

The little monkey spirit is eight or nine years old, and his expression is quite clear.

"What did you say in the morning? Tell me one more time. ”

"......," the little monkey spirit muttered, repeating those words again.

Bai Yexiao let go of him, and his gaze turned to the mountain behind the fishing village again, "Let's go." ”

"Where?"

"I know where she is."

You know this?! Ji Qianli looked confused, the kid didn't say anything just now!

"How do you tell? How do I know if you're wrong? What if we go in vain? Ji Qianli followed behind him and asked in a broken voice.

"Speak again, and make you dumb." Bai Yexiao bent down to tie his shoelaces tightly and took out a flashlight from his backpack.

“……”

The little son of the Ji family immediately followed the mountain and climbed the mountain, and he didn't dare to say half a word more.

In his heart, those who can dissect corpses at every turn for research are perverts who can't be provoked.

What's more, a famous doctor like Bai Yexiao, who is famous in the world, doesn't know how many human experiments he has done...... That's a fighter in a metamorphosis.

...............

An hour later.

The two of them climbed to the top of the mountain, and they had already stepped on the snow.

In the darkness all around, Bai Yexiao saw something lying there in the bushes not far away.

The flashlight shines clearly.

"Let's take a look."

"......" Ji Qianli stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Speak!" Bai Yexiao frowned.

"Are you sure it's human? What if it's a wild boar?! ”

"......" Bai Yexiao glanced at him.

Ji Qianli immediately began to shut up again, automatically started the mute mode, obediently followed him, and walked over there.

The black thing heard footsteps and immediately looked up, "Help, help—"

It's Meng Yao.

Bai Yexiao sank his steps, stepped on the fallen leaves and snow on the ground, and walked to her side.

She was lying on the ground, her clothes were soaked with snow, one of the shoes on her feet had fallen off, and the instep of her left foot was raised high, which should have been broken.

I've seen her ugly state of 'hungry tiger pounce' many times, but I've never seen her so embarrassed.

He looked at her condescendingly, and did not speak for a moment.

There is a legend in the small fishing village that if you come back from the sea, if you are injured and frightened, you only need to eat a white fruit on the top of the mountain.

That's what the little monkey spirit told them.

Bai Yexiao received an orthodox education since he was a child, took a materialist route, and even more did not believe in ghosts and gods after becoming a doctor.

But she believed, and had the audacity to go up to the mountains alone to find fruit.

Such legends would always seem to the doctor to be just foolish nonsense, and when one of his fools came to her lips, she looked up suddenly—

There are tear stains on her muddy face, her neat bob head looks like a chicken coop after a big bombing, and there are a few abrasions on her neck, which should have been scratched by a bush when she fell, but her right hand was clenched tightly, and she could vaguely see that she was really pinching a white fruit in her hand......

Bai Yexiao was stunned, and silently swallowed the fool back.

The light of the flashlight pierced into her eyes like a needle, Meng Yao was a little uncomfortable, and she was stabbed to tears, only to see clearly that the person standing in front of her was Bai Yexiao.

She was overjoyed, and quickly struggled to stand up, and the joy of seeing him made her forget her injury for a moment, and the next second it was tragic-

In the quiet darkness of the night, all three of them heard a clear click......

This sound occurs after a second ligament injury...... Bai Yexiao was helpless, and the stupid sentence that had just been swallowed had already returned to his mouth......

Immediately after, it was Meng Yao's ghost crying wolf's howl, "I want to hug, I want to hug-"

“……！！！” Ji Qian parted too much and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

He suddenly missed the night before when Xia Nianxi nestled in Rong Xiu's arms, and said to hug him...... That sounds like I'm pitiful.

And with comparison, there is harm - Meng Yao's voice at the moment is not like begging for a hug, it sounds like a child who is about to be abducted and trafficked wants a father, screaming for the sky and grabbing the ground, and it is boundless.

"......" Bai Yexiao was silent for a few seconds, stretched out his hand, and really picked her up from the ground.

Meng Yao was satisfied, hooked his neck, and when he walked, she asked, "You came to save me, did you telepathize with me?" ”

“……”

"I knew you couldn't bear me. Love me in my heart, isn't it? ”

“……”

"I'll treat you well when I go back in the evening—"

"......" Bai Yexiao couldn't bear it anymore, and finally interrupted her in a loud voice: "I'm a doctor, this time it's just humanitarian relief." Nothing else. ”

Meng Yao's face was full of injuries: "Humanitarian? That's a hurtful statement! I'd rather you couldn't be humane! ”

Bai Yexiao's face was darker than this night: "......"

"Poof-" Ji Qianli, who had been following them, couldn't hold back and laughed.

Bai Yexiao turned around, and a cold wind hunting eyes flew over.

Ji Qianli immediately bit his lip again, propped up his soft and innocent big eyes and looked around, vowing to let himself continue to be a silent lamb.

"Doesn't that mean that?" Meng Yao tilted her head, "Hey, you're talking, did I say something wrong just now?!" You say—"

“……”

.....................

It's easy to go up the hill and hard to go down.

When I returned to the little white house again, it was already the middle of the night.

The other group of people had already received a call from Ji Qianli halfway and went back early to rest.

Mu Wenjing and Gu Feiyan also slept.

As soon as Ji Qianli arrived, he flashed into his room to sleep for beauty sleep.

Bai Yexiao put Meng Yao on the sofa in the living room, planning to go upstairs to get the medicine box.

She was very restless, and jumped up and jumped on one foot behind him.

"What do you do?" Bai Yexiao turned his head, his tone was already full of disapproval from the doctor's angle, "If you walk around, your foot will be useless." ”

"I'm going to see if Xiaoxi is asleep, the sooner she eats this fruit, the sooner she will get better."

She's stubborn.

Bai Yexiao glanced at the thing in her hand, an ordinary wild fruit, non-toxic.

But it's a rare thing to find it in this season.

Meng Yao didn't care if he agreed or not, he pressed the railing of the staircase with one hand and jumped on it with one foot.

When she reached the second floor, she was already out of breath, but she didn't care about resting, she jumped over and knocked on the door, "Rong Xiu, Rong Xiu-"

looked at Bai Yexiao while knocking, but when he knocked for the third time, he directly slapped Rong Xiu in the face who came to open the door.

"......" Meng Yao was slightly embarrassed.

Rong Xiu avoided her hand, "Something?" ”

"Well, is Xiao Xi awake?"

"She's drinking water."

Although she woke up, she still thought she was in a dream.

"Oh, I have something good for her," Meng Yao squeezed Rong Xiu away without saying anything, and jumped to the bed, her voice that had been grinning loudly became softer when she saw Xia Nianxi, "Xiaoxi, what do you think I brought you?" ”

Xia Nianxi was holding a cup of water with her head down, and when she heard this voice, her whole body trembled, and her thick eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she slowly raised her head.

Her eyes were still misty, like a great fog.

Seeing the person in front of him, he was not sure, "Is it Yaoyao?" You...... Are you coming to accompany me too? ”

"Yes," Meng Yao smiled, that smile looked a little weird on her muddy face, but her eyes were very sincere, "I...... I just found a good thing, I brought it to you to eat, you see, look what it is, it's a fruit......"

She stretched out her right hand, carefully spread out her palm, and stretched it out in front of Xia Nianxi.

When Rong Xiu heard the food, he suddenly frowned and wanted to come forward to stop it.

was unexpectedly pulled by Bai Yexiao behind him.

He shook his head and signaled with his eyes that Rong Xiu's fruit was safe.

It was only when Meng Yao took out this fruit just now that he saw its appearance clearly-

A white fruit the size of a nectarine, with a fragrance of wild fruits.

It had been pinched in her hand, and it was intact, and it was covered with fine white fluff that should have been covered with itself, and it had already been rubbed clean by Meng Yao.

She was sitting in front of Xia Nianxi at the moment, holding this fruit, like holding a fairy grass that could bring the dead back to life.

Reverently and purely, she looked at her best friend and looked forward to her getting better after eating......

When she was found, her clothes were wet, her bags were torn, her feet were broken, and her shoes were missing......

Only this fruit is still intact.

Xia Nianxi looked at it in a daze for a while, then took the fruit, put it to his mouth, and took a small bite, "It's so sweet......"

She squinted her eyes and ate contentedly.

Meng Yao's tears fell, and she stretched out her hand and wiped them indiscriminately, "It's good to be sweet, you eat a little more......"

Eat a little more, and you will get better quickly......

"Hmm!" Xia Nianxi nodded while continuing to nibble on the fruit, and when she saw Meng Yao's face, her movements suddenly stopped again, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with your face?" ”

"Me? What's wrong with me? Meng Yao subconsciously touched her cheek, only to touch a hand of mud, she smiled, "It's okay, I make a mask of submarine mud, doesn't it look scary?" ”

"It's kind of ......"

"Isn't it so that the skin is as good as yours?" Meng Yao raised her hand and squeezed her, "Okay, let's eat quickly, after eating, I will continue to sleep in your beauty sleep, and I will go back to my room to do my beauty SPA." ”

Xia Nianxi was very obedient, obediently finished eating the fruit, and was about to throw away the kernel.

Meng Yao hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, I'm going to take it to plant trees!" ”

There is a final link in the legend, the eaten pits are planted, and when the young trees sprout, the sick will really get better day by day.

The matter of appeasing Xia Nianxi was handed over to Rong Xiu.

Meng Yao held the kernel of the fruit, her attitude was as pious as holding the relics of a certain monk, she didn't care about the injuries on her feet, she didn't care about the soreness of her whole body, and she didn't care about her stomach that was already hungry and protesting, so she went downstairs to the courtyard first, dug a pit manually, and buried the seeds.

When everything was done, I was sweating again.

Then as soon as I looked up, I saw Bai Yexiao standing at the door of the living room.

He didn't stop her, he didn't rush her, he just stood and watched her complete this ritual that meant so much to her.

Even in his opinion, this is unscientific.

Meng Yao stepped on her swollen and sore feet, got up slowly, and walked in front of him, "Bai Yexiao, I won't tease you in the future, okay?" ”

“……”

"You only need to answer me one question, and I swear that I will never tease you again."

"You say."

She trembled violently, and as she spoke, her eyes turned a little red again: "Xiaoxi, she...... It's going to be okay, right? ”

…………

In the dark night, it was silent.

A high-class off-road vehicle carrying several experts came out of a small fishing village and galloped through the silent mountain forest, to take them back to the city.

When I turned a corner, a large log appeared in front of me in the middle of the road.

With a sudden braking, the experts all went forward uncontrollably, and someone's head hit the seat in the front row and snorted.

The expert surnamed Cheng immediately instructed the driver, "Xiao Wang, go down and see what's going on?" ”

"Yes."

The driver, Xiao Wang, got out of the car and stepped forward to find that this log was freshly chopped, as if it was to block their car.

He was a little frightened, he couldn't move the wood alone, so he wanted to go back to the car and ask them to come and help.

As a result, he didn't take two steps, he felt a chill at his temple, a black hole, a cold thing against him, and then, a gloomy and terrifying voice sounded coldly in his ears: "Go and invite all the people in the car down, my master has a few words to ask them." Do it now, or else—"

There was a click, and the trigger was pulled.

The sound of the safety bolt being pulled open is particularly frightening in the dark night......

.............
