Chapter 14: The bag is lost
After Zhou Xiwei entered the tent to rest, Lu Zhentian sat quietly next to the fire alone, looking at the flames in a daze.
He gently stirred the fire with a dead twig, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed quickly, and slowly, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
The nights in Lost Valley are unusually cold, and although it is the scorching heat season in June, the temperature here at night is estimated to be only a few degrees Celsius.
Even with the help of the fire, Lu Zhentian still couldn't resist the cold weather.
So he stood up and prepared to take some thick clothes out of his bag and put them on, so that he would not be frozen in this weather.
Just as Lu Zhentian was rummaging through his clothes, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound behind him, as if someone was dragging something on the ground.
"Who?!"
Lu Zhentian ran to the woods with a flashlight and shouted loudly.
He swept around with his flashlight, and saw a "man" in the distance dragging a beast in his hand and walking slowly.
"What's that?"
Lu Zhentian raised his leg and chased after him.
Gradually, the distance between him and that "person" became closer and closer, but just when Lu Zhentian could fully see the whole picture of that "person", he was stunned, and finally the "person" walked for a while, turned a corner and disappeared into Lu Zhentian's sight.
Why did Lu Zhentian stop suddenly, because he saw that the "person" was covered with black hair, and the mobile phone was dragging a wolf.
It seems that what Bai Yuxuan and Zhou Xiwei saw was this "wild man". ”
Lu Zhentian squatted down, and sure enough, there was a long trail of dragging on the ground.
Lu Zhentian looked at the place where the "wild man" disappeared, "Tomorrow I want to see what you are." ”
He turned and walked out of the woods, but he didn't notice a pair of strange red pupils staring at him in the darkness behind him until he left the woods.
After this toss, the time is almost three o'clock.
Lu Zhentian returned to the side of the tent, added a handful of dead branches to the fire, lifted the curtain of the tent and patted Zhou Xiwei.
"Hey, wake up. It's already three o'clock, and it's time for you to go to the vigil. ”
"Hmm...... Ha...... It's already three o'clock, so soon......"
Zhou Xiwei sat up blankly, yawned, moved his body extremely reluctantly, and finally opened the curtain and got out under the urging of Lu Zhentian.
"Whew...... It's cold, it's cold! ”
The cold weather outside the tent made Zhou Xiwei wake up instantly, and he suddenly rushed to the side of the fire, and his mouth kept exhaling bursts of water vapor.
"You must keep it, don't fall asleep."
Lu Zhentian poked his head out of the tent and explained, and then quickly shrank back.
"Well, got it......"
Zhou Xiwei agreed weakly, and he didn't know if he listened or not.
At half past seven in the morning, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Bai Yuxuan walked out.
"Hmm...... Yes...... I slept so well. ”
He stretched wide, rubbed his eyes, and scanned his surroundings.
"Wow, fatty, why are you sleeping here? Get up! ”
Zhou Xiwei didn't know when he fell asleep on the ground, he slept on his back, and the ground was full of gravel and gravel.
Even so, Zhou Xiwei still slept loudly.
"What?! What's wrong?! Not...... It's dawn...... What time is it? ”
Being slapped by Bai Yuxuan like this, Zhou Xiwei got up and looked around vigilantly.
"Hey, why are you sleeping here?"
Bai Yuxuan looked at the fire that had already been extinguished, and instantly understood what was going on.
"You and Lu Zhentian should take turns keeping vigil, are you asleep here?!"
"I'm so sleepy, but nothing happened, did I?"
Zhou Xiwei scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Zhentian also came out of the tent.
"What's going on? Didn't you tell you to keep a good vigil? Why are you still asleep, alas. ”
Then Lu Zhentian turned to Bai Yuxuan again: "You have fully recovered, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Bai Yuxuan's role at this time is undoubtedly much better than yesterday, but it is still a little pale.
"I haven't fully recovered, only occasionally I feel a little dizzy, but I'm no problem walking."
Then the three of them sat on the floor, silent for a few minutes.
Lu Zhentian stared into the distance, as if he was saying to Bai Yuxuan, and as if he was saying to Zhou Xiwei.
"I saw it too, something covered in black hair......"
Zhou Zhouwei's breathing suddenly stagnated.
"You saw that too? Then he attacked you too? ”
"Not really, because he was still dragging a wolf on his phone at the time, so he probably didn't have time to attack me."
Bai Yuxuan was confused when he heard their words.
"What are you talking about? What is covered in black hair, and what is attacking? ”
"Hey, forget you were in a coma yesterday."
Zhou Xiwei began to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Bai Yuxuan.
"Remember yesterday afternoon, didn't you say you saw something? And then you fall into the swamp. ”
"Hmm...... I remembered, but the thing was running so fast that I couldn't see what it was. ”
Bai Yuxuan frowned and thought about it, and finally remembered what happened yesterday afternoon.
"You said you saw it too, do you know what it is??"
Bai Yuxuan looked at Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei, and they both nodded affirmatively.
"Yesterday after we pitched our tent here, I went to the woods over there to pick up dead branches."
Zhou Xiwei pointed to the woods in the distance and continued.
"As soon as I went in, I felt something in the woods, so I went over and looked."
"Then I saw something covered in black hair, and he could talk, and then he attacked me and knocked me unconscious in the woods."
Zhou Xiwei briefly recounted what happened to him yesterday, and Bai Yuxuan felt as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.
He turned his head to look at Lu Zhentian, who nodded slightly to indicate that what Zhou Xiwei said was true. Then Lu Zhentian made a supplementary explanation.
"About two o'clock in the morning, I was about to add some clothes, when suddenly I heard a sound from the woods."
"I followed with a flashlight, and I also saw a 'man' covered in black hair, and he was dragging a wolf in his hand, and the traces of the drag must still be very clear, I thought I should go over and see what it was."
After listening to Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei's descriptions, Bai Yuxuan felt as if he had heard a fairy tale, what black-haired monster, what attack, Bai Yuxuan suspected that they both had hallucinations, and he only believed it when he saw it with his own eyes.
"Don't talk about it, let's eat something first, and I'll see what kind of monster is scaring you like this."
Bai Yuxuan stood up, ready to find something out of his bag to eat, he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. He didn't feel it when he slept, but now he just felt his stomach growl with hunger.
"Fatty, did you eat last night? What about the bags of dry food? ”
Bai Yuxuan rummaged for a while, who knew that he only saw the backpack containing clothes and tools, but the bag containing dry food was missing.
"No, I don't know, you can see if there's anything in the tent."
"How could there be."
Bai Yuxuan muttered in his mouth and lifted the curtain of the tent, and sure enough, the tent was empty.
"No, no, nowhere to go! The bag of dry food is gone! ”
Bai Yuxuan suddenly panicked.
If the bag containing clothes or tools is lost, it is fine, but now the bag containing dry food is gone, which means that they may not be able to go any further.
"I see!"
At this time, Lu Zhentian suddenly said aloud.
"I see, the bag must have been stolen by that black-haired monster, while you were asleep."
After speaking, Lu Zhentian glanced at Zhou Xiwei.
"What then? The bags are all lost, are we going to continue? ”
"Yes, why not! The more this happens, the more it shows that there are more secrets here, aren't we here to uncover the secrets here? ”
Bai Yuxuan suddenly said aloud.
"He's right, and I've figured out the monster's movements, as long as we follow the trails, we'll definitely find the place where the monster lives."
"Let's go, let's go get the bag back!"
Zhou Xiwei got up from the ground and drank it proudly.
"Good!"
Bai Yuxuan and Lu Zhentian also agreed.
