Chapter 34: The Outsider
Zhang Siyuan bit his lip and was silent, and Wang Linshuo pondered: "I think it may just be the magnetic field that left the previous sound, which was played out at that specific time period." Wasn't there always such a report in magazines before? β
Wang Zhen nodded and agreed: "I think what Lao Wang said is very right. Or how to explain it, the man is following you in Harry's invisibility cloak? I think it's because you're too nervous and it's dark that you two misjudged. β
I glanced at Zhang Siyuan, who was frowning and clasping his hands with his head down, and I was full of doubts in my heart, but I still felt that their explanation was very untenable. How could a magnetic field leave that incomparably realistic footsteps that clinged to my back, as if ringing in my ears? Moreover, a mere magnetic field cannot trap time and the movement of the sun, moon and stars.
I knew that they hadn't personally experienced that kind of bizarre and weird, and they didn't really understand what Zhang Siyuan and I said. I was about to describe the darkness and helplessness again, when I caught a glimpse of the dancing fire, heard a muffled laughter, and smelled the smell of meat.
The black bear caught a glimpse of us from afar, threw down what he was holding, jumped up, and hurried towards us. I didn't have a good impression of him before, and I was reluctant to talk to him much, but when I saw this rough face again today, I suddenly felt extremely relaxed. The black bear added a few new wounds to his face that had not yet scabbed, and he stared at us carefully with his little eyes, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I thought you two died in the woods, and I was worried about how to explain to Uncle Lu." β
I smiled bitterly and said, "You can't die, but it's coming soon." β
I pushed aside the leaves in front of my face, and the haunting river appeared before my eyes. Black Bear's men were sitting around a small campfire, roasting meat on skewers with iron rods they had found out of nowhere. Zhang Siyuan and I swallowed a big mouthful of saliva at the same time, and the black bear wrinkled his face and reprimanded: "I finally found a small open space, why are you still so close to the tree?" Thinking that the fire was caught by the stripsβBiaozi, you have the ones you bake first, and their eyes are glowing green. β
As I sat in the middle of the crowd with grilled bear skewers on my left hand and black bear's private liquor on my right hand, every cell of mine was shouting with joy. My eyes began to darken, and I began to wonder if I was in a dream, and I couldn't help but wonder if the gloomy memories I had imagined before. Zhang Siyuan couldn't care about talking anymore, he didn't pay attention to Wang Zhen's accosting at all, his mouth was full of oil, and his cheeks were bulging. I said in my heart that this guy is really unproductive, there are still outsiders here, and the meat skewers are not baked by you, can you be more restrained? I was about to give him a look, but in the blink of an eye I caught a glimpse of the hill of sticks at my feet, and my face turned red, and I swallowed back the words that rushed to my throat.
Dumbo had woken up, but he was still very weak, leaning against a tree with a pale face, looking at us with his arms crossed. I handed the skewers, he shook his head, and excused himself, "I don't have an appetite, you can eat it." β
Brother Fan's leather band tied in a ponytail didn't know where to go, his hair was disheveled, his hair was messy, and there was blood on it. He looked at Xiao Fei with concern: "You won't be cold-colded by cold water, if that's the case, I'll have to ask Biao Zi for guilt." β
Biaozi said vaguely: "I apologize, I apologize, but it's not all my responsibility." You're walking on the ice with a big living person on your back? Besides, it's a good thing that Leng Shui Ji woke up all of a sudden. β
Xiao Fei hurriedly opened his mouth to grab the conversation: "Brother Biao is right. I don't feel any discomfort in my body, I just don't have much appetite and no energy, I guess I can just sleep. β
The black bear glanced at Xiaofei's pale face, then at the scabbed heads, and sighed, "Let's go to bed early." β
After eating and drinking, we began to dig a snow hole. This time, the black bear did not propose to draw lots, and we were divided into two groups and went into the snow cave to spread out their sleeping bags. Zhang Siyuan shrank in his sleeping bag, only revealing one head, and a pair of eyes followed Wang Zhen's body back and forth. As soon as I glanced at his expression, I knew that he wanted to be on the last shift tonight, and I thought to myself that this guy was quite reliable when he was alone with me, why did he look lazy when he was with the big guy.
Zhang Siyuan cleared his throat and said, "Let's change the order of duty today, and Zhang Xuan and I are on the last two shifts." Conspiracy, Daga? β
Wang Zhen smiled: "I didn't plan to let you two be on duty tonight, but since you said so, then I reluctantly agreed." β
As I lay in my soft sleeping bag, wrapped in warm air, all the wounds on my body began to ache violently, all the muscles were so sore that I couldn't move, and the exhaustion pressed against me like a mountain, and I didn't even have the strength to struggle, and I couldn't help but fall asleep.
After I fell asleep, I started dreaming, and the dream was very strange and dark. One moment I dreamed that Uncle Lu and the person in the photo joined forces to kill me, and then I dreamed that I was still in that dark forest and couldn't get out. I thought I would sleep heavily after all this exertion, but I slept very tired, and very lightly. When the sound of hurried footsteps poured into my ears, I woke up with a fine layer of sweat on my back. Rubbing my sore eyes, I realized that not only did I not feel as sleepy as before, but I felt a little lighter.
Before I could turn over, I heard a cacophony of footsteps and shouts outside the cave, as well as flashlights. My heart sank, and I didn't care about waking up Zhang Siyuan, who was sleeping like a dead pig, so I grabbed my coat and stepped out.
The black bear, Wang Zhen and Brother Fan huddled together, and they were talking noisily around a person. I frowned, the person in the middle of my heart was not in the team, and I was unfamiliar with his back, could it be that he was some kind of dangerous element?
My hand had already grasped the gun, but in a blink of an eye, I found that none of them had a wary and frightened expression, but a hint of relief. I furrowed my brow, and before I could speak, the man turned his face to me. But I was stunned for a while, and my mind quickly searched for the memories of my youth, and after a while, I lost my voice and shouted: "Yuan, it turned out to be you!" β
The man breathed a long sigh of relief, skillfully handed over the cigarette and said, "Lao Zhang is always thinking about you, and he regrets letting you come and says that this place can't be done without you." He also specifically instructed me to see if there were any parts missing from you when I met you. β
A warm current surged in my heart, I really didn't expect Uncle Lu to worry about me so much, so I should be hard and exercise for this old fox. The man in front of me was a good friend of Uncle Lu, and when I was in high school, he often went to Uncle Lu and called me out to play together. At that time, he couldn't help but hand me cigarettes, and although Uncle Lu said what high school students smoked, he would still light one for me to taste. If I hadn't been used to that taste, I would have become an old smoker like Wang Zhen by now.
I pushed away the cigarette and smiled: "Uncle Leng, the cigarette is free, I haven't woken up yet." Are you and Uncle Lu separated? β
Uncle Leng took a puff of smoke and sighed: "Alas, the road in this forest is too difficult to walk, and there are many troubles. The last time I saw Lao Zhang was two days ago, when we were walking in the woods, and suddenly out of nowhere a very thick fog drifted in, and it was poisonous, choking my tears and snot. I couldn't see where the others were, I couldn't hear the sound clearly, so I ran through the fog and finally broke out, only to find that they were gone, and the surroundings were strange. I groped in the woods from memory for two days, and when I was dying of hunger and thirst, I saw the light of a flashlight here. β
Wang Zhen interjected: "At that time, you almost scared me to death, I couldn't stand it and was napping when an unkempt person suddenly rushed out in front of me." If you hadn't identified myself in time, I'm afraid I would have been injured by mistake. β
Uncle Leng laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "I don't blame me, you stay alone in the forest for two days and two nights." β
Luckily, there was still some bear meat left, so we set up a fire and roasted it again. Uncle Leng saw the meat more than he saw his mother, and the posture was even more fierce than Zhang Siyuan, who had been hungry all night, and in the blink of an eye, the large piece of meat had all disappeared in his mouth.
The black bear said while stepping on the fire: "You are in a hurry to eat it before it is cooked, don't blame us for diarrhea for a while." β
Uncle Leng wiped his mouth and shook his head. I finally waited until his mouth was empty, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lu, how are they, how many people are left in the team?" β
He shook his head and said, "There were sixty or seventy people when I went in before, but now there are only fifteen at most. Lao Zhang and Hu San were not lightly injured, but they were not life-threatening. The fourth black-clothed man who went in late also joined them, and his situation was quite good. Lao Zhang still has several capable people around him, and the poisonous fog shouldn't be able to help him. The only bad thing is that Li Qingling's chick doesn't know where to go. β
As soon as his words landed, a trembling female voice suddenly sounded behind me: "You, have you looked for her?" β
I hurriedly turned around, and Chen Ni came out of the snow cave at some point, her hair unkempt and her face pale. When I met with the Black Bear team last night, she was in poor spirits, languishing, looking ugly, and seemed to have a fever. Before the meat was cooked, the bear put her to sleep, and I didn't even have time to say a word to her.
Uncle Leng sighed: "How could you not find it?" I searched back and forth a dozen times, but I couldn't see anywhere. β
Chen Ni was sad, lowered her head, and looked like she was about to cry. I thought she didn't know Li Qingling very well, but it seems that the girlfriend relationship is still quite deep. I pretended to be calm and comforted her: "It's okay, that little girl is very capable, and nothing will happen." But you, do you still have a fever? β
