Chapter 36: Showing Horses' Feet

I smiled palely and said, "How can I haveβ€”Ershuo called you, you hurry over." ”

He raised his head to look at Wang Linshuo, who was waving his hand, turned his head and glanced at me suspiciously, pursed his lips and walked over quickly. I don't know if it's because of curiosity, but my mood is not so heavy at this time, looking at Xiao Fei, whose eyes are flashing and timid, an inexplicable idea suddenly rises in my mind, and at the same time, my damn curiosity is also expanding, and I can't wait to grab his shoulder and ask for clarification. In the past, he never left the side of Black Bear and Lao Fan, why is he hiding behind the team now?

During the afternoon break, Biaozi's spirits rose again, and he offered to continue to tell us stories about strangers to relieve our boredom. The four of us naturally agreed with both hands, but Lao Fan said with a calm face before the black bear spoke: "It's not good to talk about this here, this forest is already very strange and panicked, and you add fuel and vinegar to us to tell this kind of story." There are still women and hairy children who haven't graduated from college, aren't you afraid to frighten them? ”

I glanced at Xiaofei and Chen Ni, both of whom were pale and expressionless, their lips didn't move, and they looked like they had lost their souls in fright. I thought to myself that I couldn't hear this story, so I'll ask him another day when I invite him to dinner.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, but just sat sluggishly, the black bear frowned and smacked his lips to signal Biaozi to stop. His mung bean-like little eyes stared at Chen Ni without blinking, his eyes were full of distress, and his eyebrows were about to squeeze together. I secretly wondered what happened to Chen Ni when Xindao was in our absence, she was hiding from the black bear before, and now she would nod her head and agree when he invited her to live in a snow cave. Could it be that he threatened her? No, it won't...... Ever since she learned about Li Qingling, she has been preoccupied and depressed, which shouldn't be. Strange, so weird.

For the rest of the journey, I kept thinking about how to make Xiaofei and Chen Ni open their hearts, but I couldn't find a suitable way in either direction. The mysteries of the intricate web were deeply rooted in my mind, and I had no clue. Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, and the scenery around me was becoming more and more unfamiliar, I thought to myself in despair, maybe I was getting closer and closer to Uncle Lu, but I was getting farther and farther away from the truth.

The black bear turned on his flashlight, wrapped his coat tightly, looked at the swarthy trees around him that seemed to overwhelm us, and said with chattering teeth: "Finally, we found a place where the snow is thicker, and everyone digs a small snow hole and rests separately." Before we could answer, he suddenly glared at us, and a valley-like wrinkle appeared on his forehead, "I hope everyone can sleep soundly tonight, and tomorrow we will climb the mountain." If anyone loses energy the next day, I will never care about you. ”

Wang Linshuo and I exchanged glances, and Biao Zi lowered his head and muttered, "Even if everyone is quiet, they can't stand a monster rushing out halfway." ”

Zhang Siyuan glared at Biao Zi and said angrily: "You be careful, if your crow's mouth is really effective, see if I don't press you to the ground and rub it a few times." ”

Brother Fan took the initiative to ask to be with Xiaofei and go a long way to dig some clean snow water to drink. The little blush on Xiao Fei's face that came out of walking suddenly disappeared, his whole face was like paper, his lips trembled, and his eyes stared directly at the black bear and pleaded: "Boss, you can go with us too, we need too much snow, and we can't get it." ”

The black bear couldn't understand Xiao Fei's mood at all, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "I can't, I still have a lot of things to do, you can find someone else." ”

Brother Fan quickly answered: "They have to dig snow holes and find open space to make a fire, there are too many trees here, in case they catch fire, it's not a joke." I can take off my padded jacket and carry the snow back with me, and two people will be enough. Why are you looking at me like this, what, are you afraid that I will eat you? ”

Biao Zi laughed a few times and teased: "Actually, Xiaofei is just tired and doesn't want to exert this strength." ”

Brother Fan took the lead in turning his head and walking towards the depths of the dark forest, Xiao Fei twisted his brows and opened his mouth, his nose trembled, and his face was full of reluctance and panic, and he followed slowly. I caught a glimpse of his right hand always in his trouser pocket, which highlighted the outline of the pistol. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt an urge to pull Fei back, but my legs seemed to have roots, and I couldn't move at all.

Wang Linshuo's face was very ugly, and he probably guessed something. He dug a hole in the snow in silence, looking up from time to time in the direction they were leaving. My heart was stirring with anxiety, and I was always trying to blurt out something, but when I caught a glimpse of the black bear's grinning face, the words that had already rushed to my throat were swallowed roughly.

I pricked up my ears and quietly stretched my head in their direction, my hands slowing down, my heart hanging high. But until we had dug all the holes in the snow and carefully lit a fire, there was still no disturbing sound in the deep forest. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, I must have been overthinking myself, Brother Fan is usually quite steady, how could he kill teammates who support each other.

The black bear was a little anxious, and smacked his lips: "What's the matter with these two guys, where did they go to pick snow?" ”

Biaozi smiled, and was about to speak, when an extremely sharp and piercing gunshot suddenly exploded in the woods, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and heavy panting, which shook my ears and buzzed. The black bear jumped up, his expression sank, and he took out his gun and rushed into the woods. My mind went blank, my hands and feet were cold, and I thought desperately that what should have come would have come.

Everyone rushed into the forest with red eyes like a group of hungry tigers descending the mountain, and the black bear took the lead in rushing forward, holding a flashlight and shouting while shaking: "Xiao Fei? Lao Fan? ”

The chaotic footsteps in the depths of the forest were now inaudible, and the sounds of fighting and wheezing were gone. My heart is even more panicked, could it be that it is not Lao Fan who is making trouble, but what kind of monster or mechanism has emerged? The black bear's face was sallow, and he didn't care about any potential danger at the moment, so he threw us off and stumbled and ran while shouting loudly, and the snow was shaking.

Xiao Fei and Lao Fan were silent, and we didn't know where they went, but as far as the eye could see, they were all bare, and some seeping towering trees were illuminated by the miserable white light. Just when we were frightened and panicked, Wang Linshuo stared at him suddenly, put his finger to his mouth and said sharply: "Shut up, I seem to hear something." ”

Several noisy mouths seemed to be glued suddenly, and there was not even a sound to be heard in the silence around me, and I began to wonder if I was deaf. But gradually, after a few seconds of stalemate, a faint voice reached my ears: "Ah...... I, I'm here ......"

It's Dumbo's moaning! The crowd that had just been frozen suddenly moved, and collectively twisted their bodies a hundred degrees, rushing towards the diagonal back that they hadn't even looked at just now. The place where Xiao Fei picks snow is really far enough, we ran for six or seven minutes in a row to see him from a distance, no wonder we couldn't find him before.

He clutched his shoulders and curled up in the snow and moaned, the red snow shining in the moonlight. A bloody knife was stuck diagonally in the snow, and a gun was dropped diagonally in the snowdrift. The black bear pounced, picked up the moaning Xiaofei, tore his clothes and shouted: "Bandages, hemostatic medicine, hurry up and disinfect!" ”

Xiao Fei's shoulders and chest were cut by sharp knives with two deep and bone-deep wounds, and the flesh turned outward, and the blood flowed nonstop. I gasped and felt a dull pain in my shoulder. Biao Zi and Xiao Zhao had already spread their legs and followed the footprints to chase Lao Fan, but the footprints disappeared strangely under a certain tree. Neither on the tree nor behind the tree, there is no sign of him.

A strange resentful smile appeared on the black bear's face, and he grabbed Xiao Fei's hand and asked repeatedly, "What happened at that time?" He's trying to kill you, right? ”

Xiao Fei gasped weakly: "He forced me here first, took out a knife when I was unprepared, and stabbed me in the heart." I subconsciously dodged, but still left a few cuts on my shoulder. I pulled out my gun and missed, and he escaped. Before, he was the one who killed Lao Liu before, I actually regained consciousness at that time, I saw everything, but he had to keep pretending to be unconscious. ”

Wang Zhenqi's face turned pale, his stubborn temper came up, and he clenched the barrel of the gun and said angrily: "I don't believe that he can still fly to the sky, I will be able to find this fool by searching tree by tree!" ”

The black bear's face was pale, his tower-like body suddenly rose from the ground, his eyes shot a different light, his voice trembled a little, and he didn't know whether he was angry or excited: "Lao Ba and I stay here to take care of Xiaofei, and the others, go and capture me alive, and I can't catch the head alive." ”

Several people had already gritted their teeth and creaked, and before the black bear could finish speaking, they had already rushed out. Puzzled and angry, my heart tumbled like boiling water, and I pulled out the gun at my waist and rushed forward with my footprints.

Everyone rushed to the tree where the footprints had disappeared, and before they could climb to the nearby tree to search, Zhang Siyuan's eyes suddenly flashed, raised his gun high, and fired fiercely at the canopy of a tree five hundred meters away. His movements were unusually fast, and before I could fully react, the branches shook violently, and a dark shadow fell to the ground.
