"You see, these are the traces left by the second brother when he tied the horse, and here, here are the wood ash scraps left by the fire made by my eldest brother and me."

Listening to Su Bu's words, the Su family couldn't help but take a closer look, and when they saw it clearly, they all sighed, and the sorrow on their faces was so thick that they couldn't dissipate.

In fact, as early as when they saw the two strangely shaped dead trees, they already had the answer in their hearts, but they could not accept the reality in their hearts, and they still had a fluke mentality.

No one wants to get lost.

But now, the facts are in front of them, and they can't fool themselves.

Su Buwei frowned suspiciously, "It shouldn't be, we have been moving forward, how can we walk back while walking." ”

Could it be that they have been going around in circles?

But every fork in the road they took was moving forward, and there was no turning at all.

Even if it's a little off, it won't deviate so much!

"Actually... We have no references along the way, so it's not certain whether we're moving forward or not. Su Yuanshan thought about it and said what he thought.

Moving forward is just their subjective feeling.

Without any references, they wouldn't even notice if they were running around the tree.

If it weren't for the luck of the Su family, when they saw these two arched dead trees, they would have continued to spin in place.

"So what now?" Su Buxian looked at the dead trees that were almost identical around him, and for a while, his head was a little dizzy.

These dead trees have smooth bark, gray leaves, strong roots, and towering scale.

"Well, I still have some red cloth in my space, and from here, we will tie a red cloth to a taller dead tree every time we walk, so that if we get lost again, we can immediately notice it."

The Zhao family had bought a lot of cloth before, which was originally intended to be used to make clothes, but he was afraid that his eyes would break on the way to escape the famine, so he didn't use it.

Although this method is very stupid, in order not to get lost, this is the only way for now.

The family took out six pieces of red cloth and cut them into red ropes two fingers wide with daggers, each with a heavy handful pinned to his waist.

After the preparations were made, Zhao took out a basin of warm meat buns and three pots of piping hot tea from the space.

Meat buns are used to fill the stomach, while hot tea is used to refresh oneself.

Everyone has walked for such a long time, and the blow of getting lost, they are physically and mentally exhausted.

They leaned their backs against the trunk of the tree and ate their food in one gulp of hot tea and one meat bun.

After eating, they set off in a very different direction than the last time.

This time, every dozen or so steps the Su family walked, they would find the tallest tree near the roadside, tie a red cloth on the trunk, and tie the knot in the direction they were going to move forward.

The reason why the red cloth is used is because it stands out in the gray-and-white woods.

The Su family walked for a long time, and they didn't see a dead tree tied with a red rope along the way.

There was a little bit of spectrum in their hearts, and the flame of hope rose again in their hearts.

If this continues, they will soon be able to get out of here without any problems.

The torch in his hand burned out and lit again, and just when they thought they had reached the hinterland of the forest and were heading towards the edge of the forest, Su Buxing suddenly saw a touch of red in his sharp eyes.

"Daddy, Auntie, we seem to be lost again." Su Buzhen pursed his lips and looked directly at the red rope tied to the dead tree on the left.

When the rest of the Su family heard this, they all looked at Su Bu's line of sight.

With the faint gray light of the leaves, they also saw the shiny red rope on the dead tree.

The strange bright red seemed to be the eyes of the god of death, and he was intently locking his gaze on the Su family, which made the soles of his feet cold.

How so?

The red rope on the tree appeared in front of them, which meant that they had returned to the path they had walked.

They don't know where they've gone now, only that they're lost again!

Su Yuanshan stammered with a pale face: "I, how do I feel, no matter how we go, we will always be... Going around in circles? ”

When they didn't see the red rope, the Su family felt good about themselves and thought that they had not taken a detour, but as soon as they saw the red rope, they understood that they had been standing still.

"Actually, I've always wanted to say that we haven't been in the heart of the woods, and now we see this red rope... I think we're still on the periphery of the woods. Su Buxi then added.

When she had probed her aura into the depths of the woods, she had noticed that something was wrong here.

There seems to be a mysterious force in the hinterland of the forest, blocking all the investigation of the outside world, and even the aura can block it, so that her calculation of wanting to find out the direction has failed.

Now that they are in the woods, they want to go out without the help of external objects, how can this be?

Just when the Su family was at a loss when they looked at the red rope, the ice began to fall from the sky again.

The dusty ice smashed into the mud with a dull popping sound, and the sound was faster and faster.

The Su family didn't care about the hesitation in their hearts, and quickly covered their heads and hid under the dead tree.

But those Celestial Ice were menacing, more ferocious than the last time, and even the fluffy layers of leaves could not slow down the force of the Celestial Ice's fall.

There was no way, so Zhao had to take the carriage out of the space, and the family hid in the carriage one by one.

Before that, Zhao also took a new carriage and asked Su Buwei to disassemble the door forcefully, so that the horses could also retract to dodge.

Su Bu was surprised and quickly drew a simple defensive formation on the carriage where the horses were hiding from the Ice.

Inside the carriage

The ice crackled on the carriage, and if it weren't for the protection of the formation, the wooden planks of the carriage would have been beaten to pieces no matter how hard they were.

The solemn atmosphere spread in the cabin, and the sound of the board being smashed by ice cubes was like a rapid heartbeat.

None of them spoke, everyone's minds were in disarray, and a condensed and quiet atmosphere slowly spread in the carriage.

I don't know how long I waited, it could be the time when one torch burned out, or it could be the time when two torches burned out, TechnoAlpin finally stopped.

Su Bujing was closest to the door, and she jumped out of the car first, avoiding the small holes and ice blocks scattered around, and walked towards the dead tree with a red rope tied.

The knotted side of the tree is facing forward, which proves that when they tied the red rope, they were standing in the position where they are now, and the goal of their progress is in front of the dead tree.

"Daddy, let's go to the right this time!" Su Bujing took off a red rope from his waist and tied a knot on the dead tree.

However, this knot is different from the previous one, indicating that they are already here for the second time, as a distinction.

Next, the Su family hurried to the right side of the dead tree with apprehension.

Along the way, they didn't meet a new red rope, and just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the red rope reappeared.

However, this dead tree is not the one that had two red ropes tied before.

Su Bujing and the others did not believe in evil, and after marking here, they set off again.

After repeating this five times, they met the red rope every time.

And in the end, even they couldn't tell when these red ropes were tied and when the road was crossed.

They are finally tired, not only physically, but also mentally, and even feel that they will never be able to walk out of the forest.

Everything is messed up.
