As soon as he got in the car, Su Weiqiang asked her, "Well, where are we going now?" He meant that it was so late and it would be too dangerous to go to that cave, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly, so he asked.

She knew what he meant, and it was indeed too late. I was supposed to come to find out the situation and leave, but I knew that I had stayed for so long. So she said, "Let's go back to Old Man Yongyan's house first." ”

"Good!" He said yes as he started the car.

Then, she said, "You give me your phone." ”

"Good!" He said as he pulled out his phone and handed it over.

He hasn't said much, and he's always been so respectful in front of Mu Nan.

When she saw him like this, she wanted to say a few words, but she didn't know how to say it, could she call a big boy, don't be so polite to herself, just be casual? That's not right either, so I just don't say anything.

She took the phone, logged into her WeChat, and sent the recording to Ruan Xianchao.

Then I called him again and gave him a general explanation of the situation.

The other side of the phone also muttered for a long time.

Mu Nan hung up the phone and immediately said, "Stop!" ”

Su Weiqiang was taken aback, what are you doing parking? But he didn't ask anything and immediately parked the car on the side of the road.

When the car stopped, she didn't get out of the car or speak again, but leaned back in the chair and fell into deep thought.

He glanced in her direction, then quickly looked away, staring at the whitened asphalt pavement illuminated by the headlights. He tried to calm his breathing, for fear that the air would disturb her train of thought.

Long.

"Go to the cave!" She finally spoke.

"What?" He thought he had misheard.

"Let's go to the cave in the back mountain now. Is it okay for you to work hard? ”

"Yes, of course." Without saying a word, he started the car and set off.

Mu Nan was a little tired, and he slept not far after the car left, and he slept very deeply. In the haze she heard someone calling her, and it felt like she was dreaming, and it seemed so real. Finally someone gave her a gentle nudge, which woke her up.

It turned out that Su Weiqiang was calling her.

"Well," he said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "I wonder if we can change the car." ”

"Change the car, why change the car?" She was not fully awake, but she looked up and saw that the car was parked in the middle of the night, and there was no light outside the car, not even the faintest star. She felt that the whole earth had abandoned all impetuousness, and all fell asleep, empty and silent, only the slightest insect chirping still reminded of the existence of the world.

"This," he scratched his head again, and smirked innocently, perhaps wondering how he could explain more clearly, "I was only borrowing a car with a friend for one night, so I called him to renew—"

"Oh, you're going to give him back the car, huh?" Mu Nan thought to himself, this is also normal, after all, everyone's car is useful.

"Not so." Not good at words, plus the nervousness in front of the goddess in my heart, so it is even more difficult to explain, "My friend said, go up to that cave, from the back of the mountain there is a dirt road built in the early years of logging, which has now been abandoned, but you can still drive up, but this car can't do it, so he helped me find an off-road vehicle." As he spoke, he turned on the headlights and pointed to the front, "It's the one that." ”

She looked ahead, and sure enough, a relatively high-grade off-road vehicle was parked in front of her. As soon as the lights came on, the car also turned on, and the next person stepped out of the car, the friend who lent him the car.

She suddenly had a feeling of admiration for him. From the outside, he is definitely an out-and-out fool, not good at words, unsociable, logically speaking, such a person has no friends. But on the contrary, he can have such a friend, can lend him a car, and according to his needs, send the car to him in the middle of the night to change, that is certainly not an ordinary feeling, in the current popular words, it must be a brother who has died. On the other hand, some social experts in the society who are like fish in water, can speak well, and are left and right in the interpersonal circle, may have countless friends in dinners and song halls, but there may not be many people who can really help like this.

Suddenly, in her mind, she unconsciously compared Jian Zheng, Ruan Xianchao and Su Weiqiang, these three people have some common characteristics, sincerity, and they all have a kind of good for themselves without remembering returns.

Jane was blocking the gun for herself.

Ruan Xianchao blocked the knife for himself.

What about Su Weiqiang? As a cautious girl, she can naturally see that when he encounters that kind of thing, he will definitely do the same.

His friend had already come over, approached the driver's window, and said to him, "Get out of the car!" ”

Instead of answering, he said to her, "Let's change the car, okay?" ”

Mu Nan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, of course you can!" She wanted to apologize to him for her distraction, but as a girl's reserve, she couldn't open her mouth.

He hurried to do it, then ran over to help her open the car door.

After she got out of the car, he used his mobile phone to light the road under her feet, and led the way to the car in front of her.

It was so much more convenient to have this car, and I drove directly above the cave.

The field equipment in this car is really complete, and it is estimated that the owner often engages in outdoor activities such as camping.

After getting out of the car, Su Weiqiang found two flashlights from the car, one for each person.

By the light of the flashlight, they groped their way down the hill for less than two hundred meters before reaching the location of the cave.

As soon as she came to the entrance of the cave, she immediately searched carefully on the flat ground.

After a long time, he finally couldn't help it, so he came over to her and asked, "Comrade-in-arms, what are you looking for?" ”

"Do you remember when I told you that I saw five pebbles here?"

"Hmm." That meant that he remembered, of course, everything Muo had ever said, including the way she spoke in his mind.

"Now the five stones are gone," she said, looking up as if she had given up the search, "what does that mean?" She seemed to be asking him, and she was talking to herself.

He didn't know what answer she wanted, so he didn't answer, and of course he knew she would give it right away.

Sure enough, she said, "It means that after Shanshan left us, she played with these days again and took these stones to other places." ”

He agreed with her judgment and nodded vigorously.

They went into the cave again, and she looked up, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, and then asked him, "Do you smell the jasmine scent?" ”

He had already smelled it, so he nodded firmly, "Yes." ”

"That means she's still here."

"And how do we find her?"

"Don't look for it." Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Mu Nan added, "We'll wait for her here, she'll always show up." That's why she decided not to look for it, because she knew that she couldn't find it, and that it might be dangerous if she did, so waiting was the best thing to do.

"Can you wait for her here?" He was a little incredulous, "So how long is this going to take?" ”

Mu Nan said confidently: "Wait as long as you want, she will always show up." ”

"I don't agree." He has always been obedient to men, and he actually raised objections.

She wasn't surprised by his objection, she expected him to object, "You're afraid it's dangerous, aren't you?" ”

"Yes!" He didn't hide his thoughts, "You've been through so many dangers before, and it's all about her. Now that you're fully exposed to her here, it's all the more dangerous. ”

She knew he was right, staying in this cave, although she couldn't see Shanshan, she would definitely be able to see herself.

But in order to find Shanshan, she decided to take a gamble.

Of course, this may be a big gamble, and if you lose the bet, you may have to take your own life.

The stakes are a bit big, but it's the only way I can think of finding her at the moment. Of course, in her subconscious, she felt that the possibility of winning the bet was also very high.

"Okay, I'm not in danger." She said softly, "Isn't there a tent in the car, you go and get it, and we'll sleep in the tent here." ”

"Do you want to be alone in this cave?" He hadn't left her for all this time, in order to protect her, and now he wouldn't dare leave her alone in this dangerous cave.

"It's okay, you can go." She could feel his concern.

"It's not okay to leave you here alone, I can't rely on you this time." Waiting for Shanshan to appear here, although it is a very dangerous move, but at least with him by his side, he will do his best to protect her, and now he wants him to leave and leave her alone in this dark cave, he is not willing to do anything.

"It's fine."

"Not really!" He froze.

When she saw him like this, a bit like those children playing tricks in front of their parents, she couldn't hold back her laughter all of a sudden, "Okay, I'll go with you to get the tent." ”

They went to the car and fetched two tents, but he only propped them up and told her to go to bed early. And he himself just laid an inflatable mattress on the ground and slept with his clothes.

She was very puzzled, you must know that the mosquitoes in this cave are still very domineering, not to mention that there are other small animals such as scorpions and poisonous snakes, maybe they will come to you for a while, how can you stand it. So she said to him, "Put up the tent too, so that it may be safer." ”

"No need, I'll be at ease when you go into the tent and sleep. I'm sleeping well like this, and if I go into the tent, it won't be convenient to observe and deal with emergencies. ”

She was suddenly moved again, and realized that he did not dare to sleep in the tent to protect her safety.

Alas, it was indeed a little unbearable, and I wanted to persuade him a few more words, but this time was too tired, and it was too late that night, and a wave of sleepiness hit, so she slept like this.

It was indeed too sleepy, and it was noon the next day when she woke up.

She unzipped the tent and saw a wild kudzu outside, which must have been roasted from the fragrance that overflowed.

She took a greedy sip of the aroma, and just wanted to pick it up and feast on it, when she raised her eyes to see Su Weiqiang sitting not far in front, and it was easy to spot his strange appearance. I saw that his face was black, and one of his feet was swollen and his pants were almost violent.

She didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so she quickly ran up to him and asked while checking his legs, "How did you get this way, are you okay?" ”

"Hey, hey!" He scratched his head, pretended to be relaxed, and said, "It's okay, it's just that my foot was bitten by that scorpion." But it was evident that he was a little unspeakable and his tongue was a little stiff.

She looked at his feet, and sure enough, the instep of the foot looked like a large steamed bun, and the top had been cut by a knife, and the swollen instep stretched the knife edge wide and deep, and she was cold and heartbroken when she saw her.

"You handled it yourself?" After asking this sentence, she realized in her heart that this was not a vain question? He is the only one here but her, who else can help him deal with it?

"Hmm."

"When was you bitten, why didn't you call me?"

He was a little embarrassed, and scratched his head again, "When it was almost dawn, you were sleeping soundly at that time, so I didn't wake you up, so I took care of it myself." ”

"With such a deep wound, why don't you go to the car and get a first-aid kit and bandage it?"

"That, that—" he scratched his head again, "I dare not leave you, for fear that you will be in danger." ”

She immediately felt a sense of guilt in her heart, although she didn't mean to, but she inadvertently hurt others.

This kind of open wound, which is cleaned of toxins after being bitten by a scorpion, can be life-threatening in the wild if not treated in time. And the first aid kit was two hundred meters away, how he needed that first aid kit to bandage his wounds. The fact that he was able to dig up the kudzu and make a fire to cook it after he was injured showed that he was fully capable of moving to get the first aid kit, simply because he didn't want to leave to keep her safe. Besides, if it was for her safety, he could have woken her up and gone to get the first aid kit together, but he was reluctant to wake her up in order to let her sleep a little longer.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, she wanted to hug him and cry, but she was a girl, how could she hold a big boy casually, so she took his little leg that was as swollen as a bucket in her arms and cried bitterly.

This can make Su Weiqiang messed up, he can't see girls crying the most, and the goddess in his heart is crying.

"Well, it's fine." In a hurry, he forgot to scratch his head, hugged his thighs with both hands, and pulled back hard, "You should be hungry, there is nothing to eat here, you can eat that wild pink arrowroot." ”

As soon as he said this, she cried even more fiercely.

But after crying a few times, she stopped abruptly, "Let's go, let's go to the car together to get a first-aid kit, help you bandage the wound and then go down the mountain." ”

"Waiting for her here?"

"Uh-huh—" her voice was still a little crying, "we won't wait!" ”

He stood up at once, and staggered back two steps, saying, "No, this is just the beginning, how can you hold back and not wait?" Comrade-in-arms, I'm really fine, don't give up our original plan because of this little thing of mine. ”

"Don't wait, if you continue like this, your life will be on the line, it's not worth it." She began to cry again.

"Wait, you have to wait." He said very seriously, "I know, you are for the sake of Commissar Jian, he is also my leader, for him, even if I take my life, I think it is worth it!" ”

"It's not worth it—uh-huh—" She began to sob again.

"I'm serious, we have to wait." He paused and gritted his teeth, "If you don't promise to wait, I won't even pick up the first aid kit." ”

"Alright, let's wait—let's go and bandage the wound first—wow—" Her cry turned into a cry.

After they bandaged their wounds and moved the camping things in the car to the cave little by little, it seemed that they were going to "sit through the prison".

Mu Nan's personality was originally a little impatient, but after going through so many things, his temperament has gradually calmed down, and at the same time, he has increased a lot of resilience.

Since you can't be in a hurry, let's grind slowly.
