Chapter 11
The two locked Ming Tao in the car, but he didn't put it in the trunk. Not only did not let him leave, locked the car, but also ensured his safety.
Through the car window, amid Mingtao's angry and hideous face and faint incessant scolding, the two of them simply brought a few things: a flashlight, a compass, Gu Tiancheng's dagger, and You Mingxu's trekking polesβthe latter two powers were used for self-defense, and they set off into the forest.
It was past four o'clock in the morning, and there were still two or three hours before dawn. The whole wasteland, the whole forest, was still as black as a big cloth bag. They braved the cold wind and drilled in.
"Is it through?" You Mingxu asked.
Gu Tiancheng put down his mobile phone and walked in from the edge of the forest, with a happy face: "It's through!" They said to send a car over, there is a patrol nearby, and it will be there in an hour! β
You Mingxu also looked relieved: "Great! Merely...... An hour, and a lot can happen. β
Gu Tiancheng's arm drooped, shook a few of her fingertips, and said, "It's man-made." His hands were warm and sweaty, as if they always carried the same strength and temperature.
You Mingxu nodded: "Well, I'll listen to you." β
Gu Tiancheng was stunned. He found that since the disappearance of the two girls, this stubborn and strong girl seemed to have softened a lot. Maybe it really scared. In the dark woods, he looked at the beautiful faces of the people around him, everything was so quiet that no one else seemed to exist. There was only the sound of the wind rustling, and the crisp and faint sound of feet stepping on the leaves. The gentle white light that rose because of her seemed to shine quietly in his mind again.
Very impulsive, in such a critical time, in this lonely time that is like a wasteland, I hugged this girl I met inadvertently, hugged her tightly, kissed her, kissed her hard, regardless of it. Touch her, make her happy, make her hurt. In this way, it seems that the man who is alone on the journey will also have the nervousness, anxiety, empty helplessness and deep pity in his heart at this moment.
But he did nothing, just laughed self-deprecatingly. The smile didn't make her see. Whether the two hit it off at first sight, although they only got along for a few hours, they seemed to have an invisible tacit understanding. That's a great start. He didn't want to scare her, realizing that he was actually a wild and unruly man with a heart in his heart. It's far from time for her to feel uninhibited.
Maybe there will be a day. If they did get close to each other, if she really was the one he had been waiting for.
It had been more than twenty minutes since the two girls disappeared, and the two had walked in the forest for more than ten minutes. Then it was dark everywhere, and you could see the dark foot of the mountain in the distance, but there was nothing to be gained.
You Mingxu gasped lowly, Gu Tiancheng was always by her side, not far away from a meter, carefully protected, and decisive.
"Do you want to rest?" Gu Tiancheng asked, but his footsteps did not stop.
You Mingxu shook his head. He said, "I don't worry about leaving you behind, otherwise I'll just go and look for it alone." You Mingxu said, "I know." β
"If we don't chat, we won't get tired of chatting." He said.
You Mingxu pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay." β
He strode and asked with a complacent look, "Have you ever had a boyfriend?" β
You Mingxu glanced at him and walked a few more steps before replying, "Yes." β
"How many?"
"One."
"Unforgettable?"
"I can't talk about it." She said in a casual tone, "When I was in college, I saw the right eye, and when I graduated, I didn't like it, so I broke up." feels that although he is tall and mighty, he still has a little less responsibility and less meaning. β
Gu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Then do you think I have a responsibility?" Will it be a good boyfriend? β
You Mingxu looked ahead, countless straight trees were standing, faint starlight was reflected in, and there seemed to be a mist in the forest, as if pulling her and him towards a more unknown future.
"I don't know." She said in a calm tone, "After getting along for a long time, I only knew." I've only known you for half a day. β
He was silent for a moment and said, "Oh. β
The two of them were speechless for a while, You Mingxu shouted a few more words about the names of Song Lan and Zou Fuying, and Gu Tiancheng also added up and shouted hard. His voice was much louder than hers, and after the two of them shouted for a while, there was only a deathly silence around them.
Gu Tiancheng looked at her and said, "We didn't hear the sound of the car, they couldn't go far." I must have heard our voices, just two girls, but I am afraid that they will not be able to make a sound. β
You Mingxu clenched his trekking poles and said, "I'm afraid it is." β
"I've looked for it all here, go over there." He pointed in the direction, and You Mingxu followed him.
After walking for a while, Gu Tiancheng said: "Actually, I love my former girlfriend a lot. β
You Mingxu was silent and listened to him continue: "She is like you, she has a strong personality, has ideas, and is not cheesy at all. It's different from Zou Fuying's kind of girl. She also likes men who are responsible. β
You Mingxu smiled: "So she followed you?" β
Gu Tiancheng also smiled, faintly, gently and calmly: "Yes." They followed me for five years, and the best age was given to me. Later, the people were gone. β
You Mingxu said softly: "Mourning, people can't be resurrected after death." β
He was silent for a moment and said, "I know. I already knew. I smoked a cigarette to refresh myself. He stopped, blocked the wind with his palm, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't have one?" β
You Mingxu thought for a while and said, "Come on, the last one is today." β
He said, "yes, the last one." β
She took one out of his cigarette case and put it in her mouth, his head turned slightly, and the leaping light reflected the man's handsome and deep face. You Mingxu's mind suddenly remembered the way he first drove by, through the mist on the car window, the young man turned his head to look at her, his eyes faint like the clouds that floated forever in this hidden place.
She leaned her face over and put her hand on his hand and lit the cigarette. His eyes were staring at her very close, where there were tender emotions and deep hidden pasts. You Mingxu took a puff of his cigarette, smiled, and pretended not to see anything.
The two stopped in place for less than half a minute.
Gu Tiancheng suddenly threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it, and shouted, "Stop!" And the men rushed out. You Ming Xu Huoran raised his head and really saw a black shadow flashing in the forest in front of him. I vaguely saw a tall figure, similar to that man.
Gu Tiancheng definitely couldn't take care of her at the moment, and You Mingxu chased after her. Seeing Gu Tiancheng running out like a panther, while her long legs stepped on the fallen leaves, there was silence all around, only the sound of the two of them running fiercely one after the other.
"Ah......" Suddenly, You Mingxu heard an extremely faint cry for help in his ears, far away, and the direction was behind him. It was the opposite of the direction in which the man fled. You Mingxu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stopped, and listened carefully, but there was only a small sound of wind.
But her intuition told her that she had heard correctly.
She raised her head and shouted, "Gu Tiancheng!" Gu Tiancheng! Helplessly, he delayed this moment of effort, Gu Tiancheng had already run far, and he didn't know whether he heard Gu or didn't hear it, but he saw that his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness ahead.
You Mingxu stood still, only thought for a few seconds, resolutely turned around, and ran in the direction where the woman's cry for help was faintly heard.
It was dark all around, only a flashlight in her hand, a thin pillar of light, surrounded by thick black. She didn't know where she had gone, she just felt that her surroundings were getting emptier. All she could hear was the sound of her own rapid breathing.
"Song Lan! Song Lan - Zou Fuying - " she shouted loudly.
"Woo woo...... she really heard the sound again, the woman's whimper, as if her throat was blocked by something, desperately made. You Mingxu only felt that the blood in his entire body was hot, and his scalp was also a trembling feeling. She lifted her trekking poles, held them horizontally in front of her, held a flashlight with her other hand, clenched her teeth, and leaned forward.
The flashlight's pillar of light swept horizontally across the field of vision, illuminating a row of trees, grass, and faces...... You Mingxu "buzzed" in his head, cold sweat oozed from his palm, and he quickly turned the flashlight back and returned to the place he had just illuminated.
There was a person there.
No, it's two.
It turned out to be really him.
The young man, whose eyes were as ignorant and pure as a child, appeared. He was standing next to a big tree, carrying Song Lan behind his back. The latter's eyes were closed, his hair was bloodied, and he lay on his back, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and he did not know if he had suffered any torture.
You Mingxu didn't know how long he had been standing here, nor how long he had been looking at himself. Looking at each other, his originally clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist. You can't see what's inside. And he stared at her, the corners of his mouth slowly, slowly curling into a small arc. Only then did You Mingxu realize that such a handsome face could become so evil and cold in the blink of an eye.
