This is the third time Bai Yun said that he would meet me in the West Sea Ghost Domain, originally I didn't think there was anything strange about this matter, but just when I heard him talk about it, I suddenly had a feeling, could it be that this person named Ah Guan deliberately arranged for Bai Yun to meet me, and had other plans?

I thought to myself, and suddenly I heard Bai Yun say: "Plum Blossom Ridge." ”

I glanced ahead, "What Plum Blossom Ridge?" ”

Jiang Yuan had been leading the way in front since just now, and when he heard Bai Yun's words, he immediately stopped, and we also stopped and looked around, except for the tree whose name was not called at the mouth of the bowl, there was nothing else.

"Bai Yun, what did you just say?" Jiang Yuan looked at Bai Yun with a puzzled face.

"I said, this is Meihualing, we are on the wrong path." Bai Yun also said calmly.

I helped Qianjue walk to Jiang Yuan's side, and Qianjue asked him in a low voice, "Yuan'er, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Yuan observed the surrounding terrain, looked suspicious, and whispered: "I walked according to the direction of the growth of the leaves in this forest, it stands to reason that we will go all the way east, and we will not be wrong." ”

I added, "That's right, generally speaking, wild plants grow more luxuriant in the direction of the sun, and the branches and leaves of these trees instinctively look for the direction of the sun as they grow, so it is feasible to follow the direction of the leaves." ”

Qian Jue still didn't understand and asked, "Then why did you come to this place called Meihualing?" ”

Jiang Yuan and I were speechless for a while, and at this time, Bai Yun suddenly appeared behind us and said, "The terrain of Qifeng Mountain is dangerous, and this Plum Blossom Ridge is its most dangerous place. Even if the birds fly in, they will be trapped here, and the so-called local method of looking at the sun and looking at the leaves will not work. Because the sunlight will be changed by some special reasons on this mountain, so. You follow the direction of the leaves. It's just going to go farther and deeper. ”

I said angrily, "You know you didn't say it earlier? ”

Bai Yun was a little ashamed, "I'm sorry, you just saw it." ”

"Just saw that?" Qian Jue asked rhetorically.

"yes, haven't you noticed?" Bai Yun pointed above the forest, "Look. ”

I looked up in the direction of his finger and was suddenly shocked, "How can this be?" ”

Jiang Yuan looked up with empty eyes and said, "Plum Blossom Array." ”

Qian Jue nodded. added: "This place is so weird, I used to hear some old-timers talk about the plum blossom array, but I didn't expect that now I will meet the real one." ”

I hadn't heard of this, so I withdrew my eyes and looked at them, because the sun was darkening for a while, but soon it was all right.

"What is the Plum Blossom Formation?" I asked.

Qian Jue explained: "This formation originated from a folk artist, who first used this formation to catch wild meat in the mountains and forests, and then took it to the market at the bottom of the mountain to exchange money to buy rice to survive. Later, a scholar who traveled here saw this, and spent a lot of money to ask this folk artist to teach him the formation. ”

"And then?" I asked.

Qian Jue frowned, and I saw his hand covering his left leg, and thought to myself that several of us were tired. He proposed that he would not be able to get out of this plum blossom ridge for a while anyway, and it was almost dark, and the weather in the mountains was unpredictable. All in all, a combination of factors. My opinion is to camp on the spot, and talk about it tomorrow morning.

I thought they would object. Unexpectedly, everyone unanimously agreed, and in less than five minutes, the simple fire frame had been built, and it was already dark after we lit the fire.

Because we don't have the tools to cook, and the equipment bag with us only brought some compressed biscuits and steamed buns, so-so will eat a little, the temperature of the mountains and forests at night plummeted, fortunately, our equipment clothes are made of special materials, keeping warm is not a problem, plus our bonfire, four people sat in a circle, no one spoke, and they fell asleep after a while.

When the cold wind hit, I was the first to wake up from the cold, and when I sat up, I found that I don't know when my clothes were pulled apart, and the cold wind penetrated through my neck, so cold that my hairs stood on end.

I stood up and moved my muscles and bones, and looked around, Jiang Yuan was curled up not far from the campfire like a wild cat, sleeping warmly and thinking, while Bai Yun was lying on the ground very gentlemanly, snoring, this kind of sleeping appearance is really difficult to associate with the feeling that he does not eat the fireworks in the world on weekdays.

Qian Jue closed his eyes and leaned under a tree next to me, I wanted to walk away gently to relieve myself, but suddenly I heard Qian Jue call me, and when I looked back, he was looking at me and said softly: "Boss, where are you going?" ”

I pointed to my pants, and then to the woods stretched out, Qianjue nodded, as if she understood what I meant,

After releasing the water, he felt that his whole body was relaxed, and he came back lightly, but saw that Qianjue was already sitting not far from the campfire, with a few more branches in his hand, and at this moment he was sending these branches into the bonfire little by little, and the flames were even stronger.

I tightened my clothes, took a bottle of mineral water and sat down in front of him, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”

Qianjue smiled, as if she was helpless, "I can't sleep, boss, there are some things I have always wanted to ask you, but I have never found a chance." ”

I smiled, picked up a branch with fire, looked at the flames burning on it, and said, "Do you still need to be so polite between you and me?" What do you have to say. ”

Qian Jue looked at Jiang Yuan, who was sleeping quietly, and asked, "Do you really believe that he is the son of the uncle?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said, "Did this kid see something?" Although he thought so in his heart, he still kept a smile on his face and asked rhetorically, "Don't you believe it?" ”

Qian Jue bowed his head and was silent, I looked at him and understood that he must have heard or seen something, but I didn't chase him and asked, just said lightly: "Yes or no, is it really so important?" In the past, I would care about who was around me, and I longed to have relatives by my side, for a while, as long as the surname was Xiao, I felt extremely cordial, but then I gradually understood a truth, whether it is a brother or not is not important at all, the important thing is that you are by my side. ”

"But Boss, Yuan'er is very concerned about this." Qian Jue's tone was a little heavy.

"Why? Did he tell you something in private? I asked.

Qian Jue's eyes were confused for a moment, but soon became firm, he looked at the flames in the bonfire, and said: "When we were a child, we trained in the concentration camp, he was the youngest and the worst in health, but the training that Jiang Baichuan arranged for him was indeed the most cruel, once he was sick, and he was burned in a mess, but Jiang Baichuan insisted on not letting the doctor treat him, Zhang Yang and I saved our dinner and waited until the middle of the night to secretly run to his room to bring him to eat, he saw us coming, like a lost child, kept crying and crying, Zhang Yang told him that we must get out alive, as long as we get out of here alive, everything outside is ours, status, money, and power, no one will be missing.
