Chapter 17: The Black Woods

When Yanagishita Buhui woke up again, it was already dark.

He opened his eyes to find himself still in the driver's seat, his seat belt still firmly bound to his chest.

I just feel a little pain in my head, maybe it's a lack of sleep.

Ye Mengfei on the co-pilot was still immersed in sleep.

Both of them are safe!

It's just that the bodies and surroundings of the two people are scattered with all kinds of messy things, and they are in a mess.

That was supposed to be caused when the vehicle was rolled over last night.

Yanagishita unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed the car door, and jumped out of the car.

Only then did they realize that the car had been taken out of the muddy road, which left them racking their brains and unable to get out.

Now this place is a small sandy beach with very flat terrain.

The exterior of the body has been hit miserably.

The front and rear bumpers are seriously deformed, twisted like ** flowers, and the paint has also been knocked off a lot, mottled, and there are mud, crumpled weeds, and torn leaves, which look shocking.

Not a single piece of the window glass was intact, and each window was covered with cobweb-like cracks, mud and rubble.

On the left and right sides of the body, the hit looks like crumpled paper, uneven, and the traces are like them.

Thanks to the protection of the roof rack, the roof is still in good condition.

However, the luggage rack has been completely changed by the crash.

If you remove it and put it aside, no one will be able to tell that this is a roof rack.

Yanagishita knew in his heart that if the monster hadn't reappeared, he and Ye Mengfei would still be trapped there.

Of course, Yanagishita Buhui was ready to abandon the car and get out, but that was just a forced choice.

After all, this car was also made by him with great effort, and he couldn't bear to give it up casually.

It should be out of trouble now, although the car is also ruined.

It's good that people are fine.

Although Yanagi Buhui was a little sorry in his heart, he was more happy.

This small gravel beach is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on one side of the hillside, many trees have been broken, and the broken branches and leaves are hanging from the trees or falling to the ground, as if they have been run over by a huge object.

Yanagishita shook his head and smiled.

He knew that their car must have rolled off from here.

Tumbling down the way, crushing a lot of trees.

On the other side of the small gravel beach is a forest, which covers the sky and the sun, and at a glance, you don't know what to do, which is very eerie.

There is a path in the forest, which winds and stretches forward.

Looking further afield, the path disappeared into the trees.

Yanagishita opened the car door, returned to the car, and picked up his phone.

There is still no signal from the phone.

The phone's battery is running out and the battery level display has turned yellow.

He opened the map on his phone and looked at it, and roughly knew what situation they were in.

Although he couldn't tell where it was or how to get out from the map on his phone, he saw at a glance that there was a highway nearby.

It's close! The feeling of being close at hand!

He felt a rush of ecstasy.

He believed that on the other side of the woods, it should be the highway.

Walk through the woods, and they're out of danger.

And to go through that wood, that road, should be their only option to get out.

Ye Mengfei hasn't woken up yet.

Yanagishita didn't want to alarm her and wanted her to sleep a little longer.

After all, when did Ye Mengfei, who was weak and couldn't help the wind, suffer like this?

The hardships she has endured in the past few days are estimated to be more than all the hardships that Ye Mengfei has suffered since she was born.

The trees in the woods are tall.

Looking up, the treetops are barely visible.

The foliage is lush and forested, and it is dizzying.

It's also very thick.

Most of the trees cannot be hugged by a person with their arms outstretched.

Even if the trees are a little smaller, Yanagi Buhui tried it, that is, he could barely hug it.

Thick trees abound, and the ground was littered with huge intertwined roots, high and low on the ground.

This gives Yanagishita the feeling of being unfavorable, that is, entering the primeval forest of the Amazon River basin.

Of course, he knew, it was certainly not the Amazon.

That road, in fact, cannot be called a road.

Yanagishita didn't find out when he got closer.

That's just a gap between the trees.

The distance between the two trees at the edge of the forest is relatively large, and the angle is a forest path.

In fact, there were no roads in the world, and when there were more people walking, there were roads.

Yanagi Buhui couldn't help but think of such a sentence.

Cheer yourself up.

He felt that at the moment, this sentence was particularly appropriate.

Walking into this wood, Yanagi Buhui felt a little chill in his heart.

Although the sky was slowly getting brighter, the woods were still as hazy as the night had not receded.

Looking up, through the gaps in the lush foliage, you can see dots of white light, and that's the sky!

Yanagishita felt like he was in a deep, deep well, surrounded by darkness and only a little bit of the sky overhead.

He suddenly thought of an idiom: sit in a well and watch the sky!

The feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky should be nothing more than that, he thought.

He paused for a moment, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness that was too thick to dissolve.

The woods in the dark seem a little mysterious.

The tangled roots of the trees are thick and slippery, like thresholds or hills, blocking the way from time to time.

Yanagishita had to carefully dodge the high raised roots on the ground, bypass the towering trunks, and pay special attention to the slippery, ubiquitous moss on the ground.

If you are not careful, you will fall on all fours, your nose will be blue and your face will be swollen, the sky will be dark, and the sun and moon will be dark.

"Yanagishita, where are you?"

The sudden shout startled Yanagi Buhui.

He immediately laughed: Ye Mengfei finally woke up!

"I'm here. You wait for me, I'll be out right away! ”

He replied as he turned around and prepared to return to the small gravel beach.

When he turned around, he was a little dumbfounded!

Surrounded by thick and tall trees, the roots of which are intertwined, at first glance, there is no difference.

Where is the loop? Where is the way home?

He was circling around, losing the direction he had come from.

Yanagishita tried to grope her way forward and walked a few steps, but when she felt something was wrong, she quickly stopped.

Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and do not know where.

He knew that the interspersing of walking around the woods had made him lose his sense of direction.

Fortunately, he has Mengfei!

"Meng Fei, where are you?"

He asked aloud. On one side, he listened carefully to the direction of Ye Mengfei's voice.

"I'm here!"

Ye Mengfei's voice floated faintly.

The sound is very real, very thick, and should not be very far.

Yanagi Buhui was a little glad that he didn't go too far.

He confirmed the direction from which Meng Fei's voice came from, and groped his way forward in this direction.

A big tree in front of him blocked the way, and he could only keep going around and dodging.

The big tree roots on the ground are also the masters who can't be provoked, and the willows can only avoid them.

So, after a few steps, he didn't know the direction again.

"Meng Fei, where are you?"

Yanagishita could only shout for help again.
