Today is a rare day off, and the weather in late summer and early autumn is particularly pleasant, and the street at the gate is very lively.

In the morning, Luo Yuan had not returned after going out, Yang Ruoning looked at her watch and estimated that he should be back soon, and it was time for her to go out.

As soon as he walked out of the house, a strange man greeted him. The man took out something from his arms and handed it to Yang Ruoning.

Yang Ruoning gasped after taking it. It turned out to be a Nikon lens cap. She hurriedly asked how the lens cover came about.

The man said, "There is a bamboo forest five miles away from the official road in the west of the city, and some people want to see the girl." ”

"Then please wait a moment, I'll go in and get some things, and I'll go." Although she was very excited, Yang Ruoning also faintly felt that although this was the news that she had been waiting for for a long time, the agreed place was very unfamiliar, and it was better to be careful.

Uncle Zhong is not in the house. So, she wanted to leave a note for Luo Yuan to inform her of her whereabouts. Helplessly, he couldn't write, so he asked the man to write and told Luo Yuan that he had gone to the bamboo forest in the west of the city.

Then she put on her backpack and followed the man.

After a long wait of several months, there was a clue suddenly, and Yang Ruoning was excited and apprehensive in her heart. She was excited because it was the most powerful clue she had gotten for more than half a year; She was apprehensive because she wasn't sure of the other party's intentions. However, she looked at the sky and said silently to herself, Jaso

, did you see, your her, I'm going to help you find it.

When she stood in front of an abandoned and dilapidated thatched house deep in the bamboo forest, it was almost completely dark. The man who led the way had just given her the right direction and left.

Yang Ruoning took out a flashlight and took a picture of the surroundings. As far as the eye can see, there is only an endless green bamboo forest, and there is no human figure in sight.

The weather was a little humid and muggy, and there was a faint rumbling thunder in the distance, and it was about to rain. A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the silent bamboo forest. An ominous premonition gradually rose in my heart.

"Hello? Yang Ruoning shouted loudly. All she could do was the rustling sound of bamboo leaves. Yang Ruoning sighed in disappointment. She didn't give up, what if she was just in the wrong place, if the man was waiting for her not far away?

Suddenly, there was a noise in the woods. She lifted her flashlight and shone it in the direction from which the voice came.

Nothing.

Suddenly, Yang Ruoning realized that all the sounds around her had disappeared, and the forest was surprisingly quiet. Yang Ruoning felt that the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and the animal's instinctive intuition told her that there was danger.

The hand holding the flashlight trembled unconsciously.

The brain was racing.

The gun was pinned to the back and loaded, but those were the only five bullets she had. Maybe it's not a problem to deal with a person, as long as you can aim. However, she didn't know where the other party was hiding, how many people there were. It's better to run away first, there is nowhere to hide here, and the comer is not good, so it is better for her to run first.

Quietly, Yang Ruoning turned off the flashlight in her hand. She unloaded her backpack and carefully placed it on the ground. Then she crouched down, tightening her shoelaces and preparing to escape, carefully observing her surroundings.

It's six o'clock behind you. After Yang Ruoning determined the direction of escape, she jumped up from the ground and ran forward like crazy. She could hear the sound of bamboo breaking behind her as it grazed by an object. Judging from that voice, there is definitely more than one person on the other side!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning lit up the entire woods. She saw that above her head, two masked men in black were already chasing her ahead of her, their long swords shining a blinding white light under the lightning.

Rub, it's true in the TV series, they can really fly!!

After the lightning, a torrential rain poured down. It was pitch black in the bamboo forest, Yang Ruoning couldn't figure out the direction anymore, and in the dark rain, she could only stumble forward.

Xu is heavy rain covered her voice, and when Yang Ruoning's physical strength reached the limit and she had to stop and lean against a big tree to catch her breath, she found that those men in black did not chase after her.

Yang Ruoning wiped the rain from her face, she touched her pocket, and wanted to take out a compass to identify the direction.

The pockets are empty. That's when it occurred to her that she had put everything in her backpack.

She felt the direction of the moss growing on the tree. Mosses generally grow northward, which is a basic knowledge of outdoor survival. In any case, as long as you determine the direction and go east, you can see Bianliang City.

Click, a subtle sound.

It's the sound of a branch breaking, and it's ...... The voice seems to be not far away!

They're nearby!

Yang Ruoning instantly held her breath, she reached for her back and pulled out the pistol pinned to her pants. She pulled down the safety bolt and picked up her pistol.

The rain stopped, and the forest was dead silent, and she could clearly hear her frantic heartbeat and rapid gasps.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon in the sky seemed to have washed away, and the moonlight became extraordinarily bright, and it scattered to illuminate the bamboo forest.

Yang Ruoning finally saw that less than ten meters in front of her, there were more than a dozen masked black-clothed people holding long swords.

She pointed a gun at them. "Don't come here! You don't know the power of this thing in my hands! She shouted.

The man in black who led the way saw the gun in Yang Ruoning's hand, took a step back, turned his head and said something to the person behind him.

It actually knows the gun in my hand!

Yang Ruoning aimed at the man in black who was in the lead. Before Yang Ruoning could react, the man in black had already raised his sword and jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Yang Ruoning.

Yang Ruoning panicked and shot him.

Bang. The sound of huge gunfire was deafening in the silence of the bamboo forest. But Yang Ruoning's shot was missed.

The man in black was startled at first, and then a sneer came out of his throat. He didn't hesitate to rush towards Yang Ruoning again, and the group of people behind him also rushed over.

In a panic, she tripped over the bulging roots under her feet, and she fell heavily to the ground. The group of men in black dodged the bullets, rushed in front of them, and slashed at her with their knives.

She pulled the trigger again. This time, however, I did not feel the recoil of the bullet flying out of the chamber. The bullet actually got stuck, F**k.

Is this going to be the end of the day? She closed her eyes and waited for the sword to pierce her heart.

And what she was waiting for was not the sharp pain of a sharp weapon piercing her body, but the warm, salty liquid that splattered on her face. She opened her eyes, only to see a long sword piercing the chest of the man in black. Before the man in black could make a sound, he fell straight down. And behind him, Yang Ruoning saw the familiar tall figure.

Luo Yuan shouted while blocking the sword rain coming from all directions, "Yang Ruoning! ”

He descended from the sky like an ancient Greek god to save a human woman in crisis.

Those men in black were obviously no match for Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan pulled Yang Ruoning up to protect him, holding a sword in one hand to block the attack of the man in black, and in a while, he actually killed most of them. The remaining one or two, seeing that the situation was not right, fled with their injuries.

Yang Ruoning has always felt that she is not the kind of squeamish little girl, and she will not be frightened by the bloody and cruel scenes. She thinks she has seen countless bloody scenes in the movie, and knows how cruel the iron-flesh fight in the age of cold weapons is. But when all this really happened in front of her eyes, when the long sword pierced the flesh, when the blood filled the air, when the screams seemed to pierce the eardrums, she was still stunned.

She looked at the corpses and blood all over the floor, and froze in place as if she had been frozen. She saw Luo Yuan grabbing her and yelling at her, but her soul seemed to have run away from home, her body was no longer controlled by her brain, she couldn't hear anything, she couldn't do anything.

The pain of her arm being held by Luo Yuan made her sober a little. She stood there for a long time, and then the feeling of the world spinning gradually disappeared, and the soul that had fled finally returned.

"I ...... It's okay," she stammered back to him.

He yelled, "Are you really stupid! Why do you make your own decisions every time! It was as if he was yelling at a disobedient child.

She looked at him yelling, and there was a burst of warmth in her heart. She couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

He froze, surprised by her suddenness, but then he hugged her tightly.

Yang Ruoning sighed softly when he heard him above his head, "Okay, it's okay, I'm here." ”
