Because of the magnetic deflection of the compass, our real route did not follow the expected straight line, but followed the change of the compass angle, and walked an almost semicircular arc, which seemed to explain everything!

Chu Pingqiu seemed to notice the complicated look in Liang Cheng's eyes, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Liang Cheng hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, glanced up at Chu Pingqiu, and asked casually, "But ...... How did you notice this? ”

"Luck." Chu Pingqiu replied bluntly.

1:30 a.m.

The companions dragged their exhausted bodies back to their tents, and no one mentioned what happened to us today, so Liang Cheng didn't tell anyone anything more about today's experience.

Liang Cheng left his tent and walked to the campfire, but Zhao Youyu still sat there and did not leave.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Liang Cheng walked to his side, put his hands in his trouser pockets and said.

"No campfires tonight." Zhao Youyan picked up a twig from the ground and threw it into the campfire, then pulled out a bright white dagger from the scabbard tied to his ankle, "As you know, this forest is really very weird. ”

Zhao Youyan wiped the dagger in his hand, and the fire shone on his hand. His fingers were thick and powerful, and there was a huge callus on the inside of his thumb, with broken furrows on it.

"Your hands... How did you get this ......? ”

"This?" With his right hand, he peeled off several layers of dead skin on the cocoon of his thumb and continued: "I have a habit of using a knife, and every time I use a knife, I am used to wiping the blade with my thumb. ”

Liang Cheng nodded, and suddenly an inexplicable curiosity came to his heart: "That...... What do you do by profession? ”

"You can guess." There was also a hint of self-deprecation in Zhao Youyan's tone.

"Martial arts instructor?" Liang Cheng looked at him and said.

He didn't answer, and Liang Cheng said again: "Orion? At this time, Zhao Youyan was still silent.

"What's that?" Liang Cheng stopped guessing and continued to ask.

"I didn't guess it, Liang Cheng will tell you when you guess it." Zhao Youyu suddenly replied coldly, while still wiping the sharp dagger in his hand.

Liang Cheng knew that it was boring, so he stopped asking. Alone he returned to the tent and lay down. Everything that happened before made Liang Cheng unable to sleep for a long time, the firelight reflected the shadows of the surrounding branches and leaves on the tent, and through the half-transparent tent wall of the tent, the shadow of Zhao Youyu could still be seen flickering in the campfire.

"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of, after all, it's much safer to sleep with someone keeping vigil!" Liang Cheng comforted himself and said.

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the tent, and quickly moved to the door of Liang Cheng's tent, and opened the curtain of the tent at once!

"Chen Xiaojing?!" Liang Cheng sat up in surprise, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I saw Chen Xiaojing slowly crawling in with her own quilt, looking at Liang Cheng innocently, for a while, she stood up with her index finger in embarrassment, indicating that she would not let Liang Cheng make a sound, at this moment Liang Cheng found out that Chen Xiaojing was wearing a pair of pajamas, Liang Cheng suspected that Chen Xiaojing might have something to do when she came in.

"What are you doing?" Liang Cheng subconsciously moved his body backwards to make room for her, "Don't make trouble, go back to your tent and sleep by yourself, if you are seen by your brother like this, I will be hammered to death directly." ”

"He's not ......" Chen Xiaojing frowned, and said with a pitiful face: "I'...... I don't dare sleep alone......"

"Where's your brother?"

"People just don't know that......" Chen Xiaojing's cheeks seemed to become even redder, and her eyes were red as she looked at Liang Cheng.

In the end, Chen Xiaojing finally agreed to let Liang Cheng accompany her back to her own tent. Liang Cheng sat at the entrance of the tent, Chen Xiaojing obediently lay down next to Liang Cheng, and a burst of orange smell came from all around, which instantly soothed Liang Cheng's nervous nerves, this smell made Liangchen feel extremely familiar, and this familiar feeling made Liang Cheng feel a little empty.

After she lay down, she didn't close her eyes, but looked at Liang Cheng playfully with big eyes, and Liang Cheng quickly turned his back to her.

Liang Cheng suddenly thought that when he was young, Liang Cheng always thought that Liang Cheng must have a guardian angel silently guarding Liang Cheng on the side, it was a girl as big as Liang Cheng, but she never appeared. It may have been a dream, but it wasn't certain if the dream could become a reality, and the guardian had always been by his side.

Just when Liang Cheng was thinking about the past, Chen Xiaojing behind him suddenly spoke, her voice was small and soft: "My brother and I were actually not born to the same mother, my brother's mother died when my brother was one year old, and later my father married a new mother, that is, my mother." ”

"But my brother didn't like to talk much since he was a child, but he cared about Liang Cheng very much. Later, when he grew up, his brother was often bullied at school, and he was covered in injuries when he came home several times, but he never let Liang Cheng see his injuries, nor did he let Liang Cheng tell his father. ”

"Later, one day, his injury was discovered by his father, and after his father forced his brother to tell the truth of the matter, he taught his brother a lesson with hatred, and then Liang Cheng was sent to live with his mother, and he never saw his brother again."

"In those three years, I actually missed him all the time. Until a year ago, my dad was in a car accident......"

……

"Hello?" Chen Xiaojing picked up the phone, and the other party only had chaotic cries and wind.

"Sister, come here...... Woowoo...... Dad had an accident......" came the cry of my brother on the phone.

Chen Xiaojing put down the phone and stood in place. Her father had always been a mountain to her, but now, the mountain has collapsed. After running around overnight, Chen Xiaojing rushed back to the county seat from the city. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw my father lying on the bed in the intensive care unit with his eyes closed, and his body was full of various medicine tubes. Chen Xiaojing cried and threw herself on her father's body.

"Dad, what's wrong with him, why didn't he wake up, Dad?" Chen Xiaojing asked his brother in tears.

"Our dad was hit by a car, and the car escaped." My brother's eyes are red. This night, Chen Xiaojing spent the night in a coma, the police came, kept making notes, and the doctors and nurses also came and went.

The elder brother was dealing with something, and Chen Xiaojing watched it silently. I haven't seen my brother for three years, my brother has changed a lot, although he is a lot thinner than before, but he is a lot stronger, and the scars on his body seem to be a lot more, Chen Xiaojing is very heartbroken.

For the next half month, Chen Xiaojing guarded his father's hospital bed every day, washing and changing his father's clothes, helping his father massage the soles of his feet and trimming his nails. Although the doctor told Chen Xiaojing that the chances of her father waking up again were slim, she still waited with anticipation every day.
