Chapter 38: Bitten by a snake
Qin Mengshi's face remained unchanged, making people not see a trace of anger and excitement, but the traces of being pinched and wrinkled by her thumb on both sides of the white paper exposed her heart, and she was not calm.
"Dream Poetry." Chu Le shouted softly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Qin Mengshi to show him the paper.
"Brother," Qin Mengshi opened her mouth, stopped talking, sniffed, lowered her eyes, and finally didn't say anything, and handed the paper to Chu Le.
"If you have one person for the rest of your life, you will be well. Qin Mengshi, your grandmother and grandfather when you were young, and your mother when you were young, if you have this fate, you should hide in the corner and be lonely. But you provoked one person after another, so many people because of your miserable and short life. Qin Mengshi, do you think you deserve to die? Once you get acquainted, I advise you to leave the people you shouldn't provoke as soon as possible, otherwise, more people will be killed by you. ”
A black handprint was painted at the end of this paragraph, and Chu Le sneered, "So it's mysterious." ”
Qin Mengshi took a few steps forward, bent down to pick up the leather bag on the ground, shook the dust on it, and her back was lonely.
"It's not fake. I really didn't have any relatives left, and they were all gone before I was fifteen. For so many years, I haven't dared to make friends since my best friend died of a heart attack in the sixth grade. Two days later, my mother also left, and then I was taken to the Qin family, those years...... Oh, it wasn't until I met Ran Ran later that my world seemed to usher in the sun again. ”
When she turned around again, Qin Mengshi's eyes were already shining with tears, and under the sunlight, she reflected colorful light, but behind this dazzling, it was pitch black, "Of course, you won't have an accident, right." ”
Chu Ran suddenly felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and it was uncomfortably tight. For so many years, Qin Mengshi never mentioned those pasts. Chu Ran knew that those pasts might not be very pleasant, but she didn't expect it to be so painful.
Chu Ran raised his feet and walked gently towards Qin Mengshi step by step, pulled Qin Mengshi's hand that was tightly holding the leather bag, and broke her bloodless fingers one by one, "Fool, what are you talking nonsense!" Didn't we make an appointment a long time ago, and when we are old, we will go to Wushan together to sigh about life! We all have to live well in this life, and no one can have an accident. ”
"Of course, I'm really afraid, so afraid, so afraid." Qin Mengshi lowered her head, her tears fell down like beads with broken threads, "No matter who hurts you, I will make him pay, but if it's because of me, then, what should I do?" ”
"No, no, I'm a member of the Chu family, who dares to touch me!" Chu Ran stretched out his hand and hugged Qin Mengshi in his arms, very hard, very hard, "Let me find out who wrote this letter, I can't spare him!" ”
Chu Ran usually jumps out like a child, and she looks heartless and lungsless, as if there is nothing she is afraid of. But Qin Mengshi knows that Chu Ran is a very mature person, she has what she insists on, she has people she wants to protect, and the safety of her family is her belief.
Chu Ran raised his hand and gently wiped away Qin Mengshi's tears, "What are you crying about?" Isn't it just which goblin wants you to separate from Huo Tianyu? Think beautifully! Xiong Xiong, you will tie Huo Tianyu firmly to me, not only to tie Mrs. Huo's position, but also to tie his heart. I'd like to see how dare them! ”
Chu Ran's usually cute round eyes exuded a silence that had never been seen before, as well as a murderous aura.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Qin Mengshi turned her head and took a deep breath, pulling out a hint of a smile, "I just remembered some bad things, let's go back, let's go back." ”
"I can't go back now." Chen Zi shook his head, squatted on the ground and continued to pack his things.
"What do you mean?" Qin Mengshi's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled into two hills, and there was still a hint of confusion in her red and swollen eyes.
"The map and compass have been taken away, and we can't make out the directions." Chen Zi searched around the ground again, but still did not see a compass or a map.
Chu Ran angrily slapped the trunk of the tree beside him, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Chen Zi frowned silently, and his gaze fell on Chu Ran's hand against the trunk of the tree.
"There is no signal here at all, just now it was Brother Chu Lege who took us here with a compass and a map, and now we have nothing, if we get lost, won't we go farther and farther away from the outside?" Qin Mengshi was a little anxious.
She remembered the words on the note just now, what the hell were those people trying to do? Do you want to trap them all like this?
Chu Ran was also anxious at this time, she shouldn't have promised Qin Mengshi to come out to play today yesterday. It was written on the calendar that it was not appropriate to travel today, so why didn't she listen!
"Brother Chu Le, I ......" At this time, he already knew that all this was because of himself, and Qin Mengshi felt uncomfortable.
"I'll figure it out." Chu Le interrupted Qin Mengshi's next words, and stepped forward to pack his luggage with Chen Zi. I don't know how long it will take to get out of here, they still need a lot of things, and nothing can be left behind.
After cleaning up, Chu Le deduced from the shadow of the big tree that when they first came in, they had been walking north, and as long as they kept going due south, it should be right.
This time they were no longer as scattered as when they came, although it was still Chu Le who opened the way in front and Chen Zi who broke off, but they were less than a meter apart from each other. Because danger is in the shadows and everywhere, they must be vigilant, not only to protect themselves, but also to each other.
It was a two-hour walk, and it was already a little dark. Qin Mengshi and Chu Ran were already tired, but they both knew that the situation was urgent, so they both gritted their teeth and stood up, and no one said that they wanted to rest for a while.
But slowly they realized that something was wrong! When they entered the mountain, they also walked for more than two hours, and the speed was not as fast as it is now, it stands to reason that they should have gone out a long time ago, but at this time they were still in the deep forest, and Chu Ran felt that the tree was getting taller and thicker.
"Brother, why do I think, we are getting farther and farther away from the outside!" Chu Ran frowned and muttered.
"Probably not, we are heading south, but ......" Chu Le stopped, and the words behind him did not come out, obviously, he also found that something was wrong. He couldn't tell the difference between east and west, because the sun had set, but he was indeed going south, what was wrong?
The entire deep forest was already deep blue, and a gust of wind blew, Qin Mengshi subconsciously snorted, "Brother Chu Le, what should we do now?" ”
Chu Le shook his head, "We can't go anymore, now we can't tell the direction, it's very likely that we will get lost, let's set up a tent here, let's stay here for one night, and go back tomorrow morning." ”
Saying that, Chu Le also made a joke, hoping to ease everyone's nervous nerves, "Just give you two a chance to make a flower chicken, let me and Chen Zi try your skills." ”
Chu Ran immediately understood what Chu Le meant, and hugged Qin Mengshi's arm with a smile, "I don't know, but my Mengshi's craftsmanship is first-class." Mengshi, show them a hand, I'll help you. ”
"Okay."
What else can I do if it's not good? Knowing that Chu Ran was comforting herself, Qin Mengshi tried her best to be happy. But I was nervous in my heart, and I couldn't go out before the sun set, and no one knew what would happen in the night. If something happens to one of them, how can she forgive herself?
"I'm going to pick up some branches." Qin Mengshi patted Chu Ran's hand and turned around to leave.
"I'll go with you, and from now on, you can't go it alone." Chu Ran ran two steps to catch up with Qin Mengshi, and grabbed her hand tightly, "Don't think about resisting everything by yourself." ”
Through the moonlight, Qin Mengshi could vaguely see Ran's radiant cheeks.
Isn't Chu Ran afraid? How can it be.
Aren't you afraid? How can it be.
Qin Mengshi really wanted to lead the danger away by herself, since the people who came were aimed at her, if she acted alone, those people should be able to do it. As long as they are allowed to do what they want to do, Chu Ran and the others will be safe.
Qin Mengshi knew that this method was very stupid and dangerous, but she had no other way, she couldn't watch everyone have an accident because of him.
"Of course, I'm fine, I just want to see who the other party is."
"Look, I guessed who it was, how could you not know. You don't need to say more, I'm definitely going to follow you anyway. Chu Ran hugged Qin Mengshi's arm tightly and didn't let go, looking like I was like this, it was useless for you to say anything.
Qin Mengshi was helpless, "Ran Ran ......"
"I'll go with Mengshi, Ranran, you and Chen Zi are here looking at the luggage." Chu Le put down his backpack and said as he walked in the direction of Qin Mengshi and Chu Ran.
"Brother," Chu Ran wanted to say something more, but Chu Le waved his hand directly, signaling her not to say any more, "Chen Zi, I'll hand over my sister to you." ”
Chen Zi listened to Chu Le's words, and for some reason, another scene appeared in his mind. Chen Zi smiled bitterly in his heart, is this considered a joy in suffering, how could he and Chu Ran have that day!
"Don't worry, be careful."
Chu Le and Qin Mengshi didn't go far, but the branches and leaves in this deep forest were luxuriant, and they couldn't see anyone from a distance of seven or eight meters. Looking at a large handful of branches in Chu Le's arms, Qin Mengshi leaned over to the ground and picked up two more, and said, "Brother Chu Le, it's almost enough, let's go back." ”
Chu Le nodded, even if Chu Ran had Chen Zi by his side, he was still not very relieved. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is safer for everyone to be together.
"Be careful!" Qin Mengshi looked at Chu Le's right and exclaimed, but unfortunately it was too late when Chu Le looked sideways.
Chu Le held the branch in his arms and subconsciously blocked it, he knew that this time was mostly useless, with the sensitivity of a snake, he would definitely be able to avoid the branch and accurately bite his target. The only hope Chu Le has now is that this snake is not poisonous.
The expected pain did not come, Chu Le opened his eyes suspiciously, and saw Qin Mengshi's back in front of him.
"Dream Poem!" Chu Le's hands loosened, and all the branches in his arms fell to the ground, pulling Qin Mengshi's arm, Chu Le prayed in his heart, praying that Qin Mengshi was not bitten.
However, that is simply not realistic.
Dogs don't let go of meat that comes to their mouths, and snakes don't let go of any creature that disturbs them.
