Chapter Twenty-Eight: Danger in the Woods
The three of them followed the direction of the wheel print and headed towards the mountain, and sure enough, they saw Zhou Zihe's classic car on the mountainside, the door was wide open, and the car was empty.
There was a circle of footprints around the car, and in this circle of footprints, there were two shoe sizes, one large and one small, Ouyang Lu recognized Zhou Zihe's small-size shoe prints at a glance, and Zhou Zihe ran in the right direction of the mountain road. The plus-size shoe print must be Chen Baiqiang, he is not stupid, and he also chased Zhou Zihe's shoe print.
Song Wushuang became more and more bold as he walked, and the footprints quickly disappeared as the weeds covered him.
The three of them could only shout loudly, the mountains were so big, only with a response, could they clearly locate themselves.
The further they walked into the dense forest, the thicker the fog became, and with a foul smell that made it difficult to breathe, they thought, this should be the place of miasma that the middle-aged couple said.
In order to maintain their strength, the three of them stopped talking, but after walking for a while, they couldn't support it, and the three realized that they had misjudged, and for safety, they began to retreat to the periphery of the miasma.
I don't know how long they walked, but the three of them finally found the small river that ran through the village, and the smell of the air here became normal, and they quickly took off their simple masks and breathed heavily.
Ouyang Lu looked at the two of them and said, "The miasma is like a protective place, surrounded by a thick fog, and there is a smell of rust and rotten eggs mixed together. It stands to reason that when Zhou Zihe smells this smell, he should guess that this air mass is dangerous and will not run in again. So, I don't believe he's going to faint in the miasma. ”
Song Wushuang also agrees with this point of view, she also speculates that the miasma plot should be an underground energy source, and the gas pressure in the mountains is low at night, and the gas is pressed outward, which produces a toxic miasma in the mouths of the villagers, in fact, this miasma should be a combustible gas resource. However, the people do not have the ability to exploit underground resources, nor do they have the ability to detect talents, and if she tells the news, it will definitely attract other countries to compete for resources, which would be a pity. She simply kept her mouth shut, not intending to say her guess.
The little brother Mari picked up a few pieces of dead wood from the edge of the forest and started to raise the fire.
When they set out from Shanghai, no one expected to go into the mountains to search, their clothes were not warm enough, and they had to make a fire to keep warm, otherwise they would not be found, and they would freeze to death in the mountains first. Moreover, if Zhou Zihe sees the firelight, he will also walk towards the firelight.
The three of them sat around a crackling fire to keep warm, and the light of the fire seemed to become hope in the dark mountains.
Song Wushuang threw a handful of dry branches into the fire, analyzing the current situation, "The reason why Mr. Zhou ran in the direction of the right must be that he was afraid that he would lose his way in the deep mountains, and if there is a river on the right, he will definitely not lose his sense of direction." ”
The little brother wondered in his heart, "It's not hard to find the river, and if you run down the river, you will definitely find the village, but why didn't he run back to the village?" He picked a charcoal fire with a twig and continued to speculate. Presumably, he was afraid that the whole village would have some ulterior collusion. ”
Song Wushuang's heart hung again, "There are only two possibilities, either he hides and waits for dawn to act." or be ...... by Chen Baiqiang" She didn't dare to continue.
Ouyang Lu looked at the river thoughtfully.
Song Wushuang followed the direction of his gaze and thought of what he thought, "You see, this small river is not wide and not turbulent, will he go to the other side of the river to avoid Chen Baiqiang's tracking?" ”
"Zihe doesn't know how to swim, and no matter how terrible Chen Baiqiang is, he won't run across the river." Ouyang Law is conclusive.
Song Wushuang thought deeply, "There is a miasma on the mountain that can't pass through, and there are villages under the mountain that dare not go back." So the scope of his activities is around us? She impatiently took a torch from the campfire, "No, we can't afford to delay it, let's find it again." ”
At this time, there was a sudden howl from the hillside, and the three of them did not react, accompanied by another howl, and the three of them leaned together in fright.
"What is this sound? Wolves? The little brother denied himself, "The wolf doesn't howl like that!" ”
"It seems to be...... Pig barks. ”
"It's a wild boar!" Ouyang He pointed to the mountain.
Song Wushuang narrowed his eyes, still unable to see anything clearly. The distance was a bit far, and she felt that her eyes were blurry, like an ink painting stained with water, blurred into a gray patch, with no bright spots.
She was looking closely, and saw animals running again in the trembling grass.
She steadied her glasses, and it turned out that the boar rushed towards their firelight, as if it wanted to die with them.
It's getting faster and faster, "What to do?" What to do? The three of them didn't dare to move, for fear of being targeted.
"How do you run? Where to run? Can we outrun it? The little brother shouted anxiously, Song Wushuang had long since lost his mind.
The boar's speed was so fast that before the three of them could figure out what to do, it suddenly disappeared from sight!
Song Wushuang's eyesight was not good, and his face was in a state of confusion, "Wild boar...... Suddenly...... Gone? ”
"Well, it did disappear suddenly." Ouyang Lu was noncommittal.
"It'...... How can it be ...... Suddenly gone? The little brother's body began to tremble again. Won't ......"
"Shut up." Song Wushuang guessed that he was going to say something to disturb the morale of the army next, and severely reprimanded him, "Don't scare yourself." We've been searching in the forest for so long, and there's nothing terrible about it. ”
"It's too dark, let's climb up and take a look." Driven by Ouyang Lu, the three of them began to climb up the mountain again with torches.
The distance is really far, and it is close to the river, and the road is full of bare stones, and the closer you get to the place where the wild boar disappeared, the more clues can be found.
They seemed to hear the faint moaning of the boar,
When I got closer with a torch, I found that it was actually a trap.
Ouyang Lu analyzed and said, "This is a trap dug by Orion. After the boar fell into the trap, it was impaled by rows of sharp sticks stuck in the trap, and now it only had its last breath left. ”
The little brother shouted, "Look, is there a person under the boar?" It won't be ......" he stammered, not daring to continue.
Song Wushuang couldn't see the situation in the well clearly, and when he heard the little brother say this, he also understood seven points. The wild boars that fell into the trap were pierced, not to mention the people who fell into the well.
She began to lack oxygen and her mind was dizzy, this was not the result she wanted to see, she didn't believe that this was the end of Zhou Zihe.
She still felt the edge and prepared to go into the pit, "I'm going to see, I have to go and see." ”
Ouyang Lu pulled her away, angry, "You are a weak woman, you have no strength, you have no eyesight, you stand aside honestly, I'll go down and take a look, little brother, you are on top and cooperate with me." ”
So saying, he found a thick rattan stick, tied one end to a tree and the other to his waist, and sank down the edge of the trap.
Song Wushuang ran out of ideas, and his mind became a mess of porridge.
When she came to the Republic of China, the only one who was really good to him was Zhou Zihe. And she, the person she is most worried about, is only Zhou Zihe.
She did not find a way to return to modern times, so she could only live in the Republic of China. It was Zhou Zihe's meticulous care of her that gave her hope to live here.
He also gave her a job and looked forward to life. Such a warm person has long become her backbone, and now that the backbone is gone, she is like duckweed without roots, destined to be stormy.
She sat on the ground with no master, it turned out that Zhou Zihe was so important to her, she regretted that she took care of him too much, obviously she liked him so much, but she always resisted his peace of mind; obviously liked him so much, but because of Ouyang Lu's warning, he took the initiative to distance himself from him.
The little brother was also anxious when he saw her soulless, and he shouted under the trap, "Mr. Ouyang, can you see your face clearly?" ”
There was a howl of the wild boar collapsing from the bottom of the pit, and Ouyang Lu gave it a few more knives, completely ending the life of the wild boar, and he replied breathlessly, "This wild boar crushed people to death, I can't see it." ”
Hearing this, Song Wushuang collapsed even more, she knelt on the ground and swore to the heavens, "God, please, I beg you not to let Mr. Zhou die." If he were still alive, I would have shown him my sincerity and loved him without paying attention to regrets. Even if he treats me as a reassurance, I am willing! She cried and scolded, "If it weren't for him, why did you let me come here?" Since you let me come here, you can't let him die! ”
At this time, Ouyang Lu's voice came from the well, "It's Chen Baiqiang, it's Chen Baiqiang." ”
Song Wushuang burst into tears. Great, it's not Zhou Zihe, it's not Zhou Zihe.
"I've heard everything you said."
Song Wushuang turned his head and vaguely saw a person's figure coming from the dense forest.
The little brother shouted with joy, "It's Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou is here." ”
Song Wushuang rushed over regardless of it, she hugged Zhou Zihe fiercely, crying silently. "I thought you died in a trap."
Zhou Zihe patted her shoulder, "I have not died in several catastrophes, I am a blessed person." ”
"If you die, I won't be able to stay in the Republic of China, but I can't go back to my modern home, I really don't know what to do." No matter how many times Song Wushuang speaks, he looks like I can't live if you die.
Sure enough, Zhou Zihe smiled, "If I die, do you want to be martyred?" ”
At this time, he could still laugh, and the smile was still warm, and she sank, regardless of it, "I like you!" She looked at Zhou Zihe and said these four words seriously.
Song Wushuang was afraid that he would never have a chance again, no matter when and where, he just wanted him to know his mind.
Zhou Zihe's body froze there.
Song Wushuang felt his embarrassment, took a step back, left his chest, and said to himself, "I know you still have Miss Anxin in your heart." Never mind. I like that you are my own business and have nothing to do with you. Don't be too burdened. ”
At this time, she wanted to wait for Zhou Zihe's words, "I like you too, I know you are not at ease." "That's it.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait.
Song Wushuang turned around, not daring to look at him again. He said, "You must be frozen, so let's go to the fire and make a fire." ”
The two of them were embarrassed and didn't say a word, but the little brother still had the eyesight, and took the sentence in a timely manner, "Mr. Ouyang is still below, I'll pull him up." ”
Only then did the two of them remember that Ouyang Lu was still in the pit. So the three of them pulled the rattan together, and finally pulled Ouyang Lu up.
I saw him carrying a big pork leg and said with a smile, "Brothers, you're all hungry." ”
Looking at his smug appearance, everyone was speechless.
