Just remember

In the end, Chun Jinran saved everyone—Guo Pan, Hang Mingzhe, and the local guys.

After the boy was rescued, he didn't find any trauma, so Ding Ruoshui gave two injections, and the man woke up leisurely, looked around and realized that he was rescued by others, and immediately realized the misunderstanding here.So when Ding Ruoshui went to treat Guo Pan's wound from the fall, the man told Chun Jinran and the others the ins and outs.

The burly guy is named Awa, and he is the son of the leader of a nearby village. The village has lived here for hundreds of years, and has always been happy and stable.But since two years ago, people from the Central Plains have come here to dig herbs one after another. It is said that returning to the Central Plains can sell them at a high price, and as time goes by, more and more people come here, and more and more frequently, the surrounding villages have been dug. Everywhere is devastated, and sometimes a heavy rain falls countless trees, animals are displaced, vegetation is destroyed, and people's lives become more and more difficult.The people in the village tried to stop this behavior, but they were bullied badly by the Central Plains people with thugs, so Ava organized the young and middle-aged people in the village to take up arms and use violence to control violence. The situation of intolerance usually means that once you meet, you don't need to say a word, just cut each other directly.

"No wonder you chased me down with a knife as soon as you saw me." Chun Jinran recalled this scene with sympathy.

Awa showed shame on his face: "I'm really sorry, I thought you were their accomplice, and there are so many of you, everyone looks bad..."

Chun Jinran looked at Dingchen, at Lin Qiaoxing, and at Ding Ruoshui who was bandaging Guo Daxia until he grinned. He felt that the local people's understanding of "good looks" might be biased.

"Wait," Qingfeng discovered the problem, "Where's our accomplice?"

Ava was stunned: "Huh?"

Qingfeng said: "As for the group of people who fought with you at the beginning, don't you think we are with them? Where are they?"

Only then did Ava react, and quickly looked around. Where there was still a ghost, he knew in his heart: "I guess I ran away long ago."

Chun Jinran said awkwardly: "Our fight is really unjust."

When the misunderstanding was cleared up, the Central Plains young heroes also helped Awa's brothers untie the acupuncture points, and Ding Ruoshui also performed a simple bandage on some of the wounded in the fight.Awa wanted to invite everyone back to the village for a drink, but was declined by everyone. After all, the big event is at hand and time waits for no one.But they didn't tell Awa the real purpose of coming here, they only said that they wanted to find a river, a dark river that eventually leads underground.

As soon as Ava heard it, he knew where they were looking for: "The river is west of the forest."

Everyone's eyes lit up: "Then how do we get there?"

"Cross the forest directly." Ava didn't even think about it. "This ditch is the easternmost part of the forest. If you go further east, you will exit the forest, which is exactly opposite to where you want to go."

Everyone squinted their eyes and looked at the third young master of the Hang family.

Hang Mingzhe silently walked up to Guo Daxia: "Brother Guo, does it still hurt?"

Guo Pan's forehead twitched slightly, and he pointed to his heart: "It hurts here."

Seeing them like this, Ava knew that he must have lost his way, so he simply asked the brothers to go back to the village first, and he was left to lead everyone the way.The young heroes of the Central Plains who have been tortured to death by the jungle are overjoyed, this is the real acquaintance without fighting!

With Awa's leadership, everyone never went wrong again.When we set off, it was just dawn, and the river came into view, and the sun had not yet set on the western mountain.

"Brothers, welcome to visit the village when you have free time." In the brisk sound of water, Ava bid farewell to everyone.

"must."

"There will be a period later."

"There will be a period later."

After watching Ava leave, everyone really looked at the river in front of them.

This is a river more than ten feet wide. It is as deep as half a person, and the bottom can be seen at a glance.The water flow is not urgent, which is in sharp contrast to the local rivers with abundant water and fast currents seen along the way.But the calmer it is, the more disturbing it is.

According to the topographic map of mountains and rivers, this river will flow into underground caves, then divert in the caves, and finally go to unknown places.The young heroes of the Central Plains didn't know where the end of the river was, just as they didn't know what was waiting for them in the cave.

A jungle has exhausted them physically and mentally, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Because they knew in advance that they were going to go down the dark river, Qiu Yang and Bailang prepared forty pieces of special whole sheepskins, and each of the friends carried a few on their backs along the way. Under the guidance of the second hero, blowing air and tying ropes, when the forty chubby sheepskin tires were finished, everyone split up to cut smaller trees.Cut down small trees without branches, they are long round wooden sticks one by one. Finally, the wooden sticks are overlapped and tied into a square, and then eight sheepskin tires are tied, and a raft is completed.

In this way, when the five sheepskin rafts were completed, the night was already deep.

The young heroes of the Central Plains have never done this before, all of them were out of breath, especially the landlord Qi, who had collapsed to the ground, completely ignoring the dirt and mud under his body: "Why do you have to tie five of them separately and put them together?" Make it bigger and save trouble!"

Bai Lang patiently explained: "The underground river in the cave is narrow, and the raft may not be flexible if it is too wide or too long. If it gets stuck somewhere, then we will really have to catch the blind."

Qi Wanguan just said it happily, seeing that Bailang's attitude is so good, and what he said is really reasonable, so he stopped messing around.

There was already a fire in Dingchen and Fangshu Road, and the chopped off twigs were just used for burning.

The Central Plains young heroes tacitly knew that they were going to rest in place.After all, after fighting all day, then rushing to travel, and finally working as a boatman, even if you want to set off immediately, you still have more than enough energy.

Chun Jinran drank half of the cake with two mouthfuls of water, feeling a little better in his stomach, but not in his heart.He looked up at the sky, the moon was gentle and bright, no different from the Central Plains, but it was precisely because of the same that made his longing grow stronger.He misses the Central Plains, Chunfu, and even a bowl of plain noodles with clear soup and little water.

Chun Jinran kept looking up until his neck became sore, and then reluctantly looked away. Just as he was about to sigh softly, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, turned his head subconsciously, and met Pei Xiaoyi's gaze.

Pei Xiaoyi didn't hide, and still looked at him quietly, but his eyes flickered, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Chun Jinran didn't want to guess either.

Standing up and walking in front of Pei Xiaoyi, Chun Jinran sat down directly to face him.This place is a little far away from the fire, and it is also far away from his companions, so Chun Jinran said without any scruples, and cut to the chase: "If there is no rattan rope, even Guo Pan won't have to be rescued. Are you serious?"

Pei Xiaoyi didn't answer right away, but raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he found this question unexpected and interesting.

Chun Jinran had a rare patience, so he just waited.

Finally, Pei Xiaoyi refrained from being frivolous, and said slowly: "If it's easy to do, it can be saved or not. If it puts myself in danger, I can't think of a reason to save it."

Obviously it was the expected answer, but it still made Chun Jinran feel depressed, but he didn't want to give up. Since Pei Xiaoyi couldn't think of a reason, he gave him one: "Guo Pan is a friend."

Pei Xiaoyi smiled disapprovingly, his tone was light but clear: "For me, he is just a companion, and it's still temporary."

"Then what about me?" Chun Jinran didn't know why he asked such a question, and he made it clear that he was humiliating himself, but his mouth ignored all obstacles from his mind, and he just slammed it out.

Pei Xiaoyi was stunned, a mocking smile froze on his face, a little funny.

Chun Jinran regretted it all of a sudden, and threw down the sentence "As if I didn't ask", and hurriedly got up and went back to the campfire.

The whole night after that, Chun Jinran lay beside the bonfire with his eyes closed, but he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.He knew that Pei Xiaoyi was still where he was, and if it was normal, he would have called the other party over to avoid catching a cold, but this night, his mood was so chaotic that he didn't want to have anything to do with the other party at all.

What kind of person is Pei Xiaoyi?When we first met, he already knew it.Selfishness, indifference, and a strong sense of defense caused by the firm belief that human nature is inherently evil, picking out one at random is enough to make him retreat.In fact, after the failed night interview at the very beginning, he gave up the idea of ​​being friends with this person, but by accident, they finally got mixed up.

But even if he was traveling together all the way, he never thought about it.He doesn't agree with Pei Xiaoyi's behavior style, but what kind of person to be is Pei Xiaoyi's freedom. He may not like it, but he has no right to interfere. In fact, until yesterday, he had never thought of interfering.

But just now, he inexplicably changed his mood.

The moment he asked that sentence, he suddenly hoped that Pei Xiaoyi would have even a little bit of humanity, whether it was brotherhood, friendliness or human nature, as long as there was a little bit.

Pei Xiaoyi must think there is something wrong with him, Chun Jinran thought bitterly, so before the man answered, he flinched.Sometimes it’s better not to break than not to break. If you don’t break, you can pretend to be hello, me, hello, everyone. Once you say it and break up unhappy, you really can’t continue to get along.

He didn't like Pei Xiaoyi's indifference.

But he didn't like even this cold and ruthless Pei Xiaoyi disappearing.

Qingfeng said he did the crime, but he thought Pei Xiaoyi was the one who did it.During so many night interviews, I have met eight hundred men, not to mention one thousand, tall, short, fat, thin, talkative, steady, handsome, gentle, personable, and brilliant. Picking up a flower is fragrant, but in the end, I picked up a poisonous weed.

The terrible thing is that he knew it was poisonous, but he still couldn't bear to let go.

That bastard Pei Xiaoyi has committed a great crime!

"Hey hey-"

Suddenly Hang Mingzhe's voice came from my ear.

Chun Jinran opened his eyes, and saw the third young master of the Hang family lying beside him looking at him in horror.

He quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Hang Mingzhe felt sorry for him: "I should ask you this. It's too scary to suddenly start to pull my hair when I fell asleep. What did you dream about? You're so scared?"

Chun Jin was embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I didn't fall asleep, I was thinking about something."

Hang Mingzhe frowned: "What's the matter, it's so painful?"

Chun Jinran sighed a little lonely, and said softly: "You don't understand."

Hang Mingzhe pursed his lips and thought for a while, then suddenly said with emotion: "In fact, sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing."

Chun Jinran smiled and teased: "So you are happy, you eat and sleep foolishly every day, and don't worry about anything."

Hang Mingzhe was dissatisfied: "I'm the guide this time, I'm so worried."

Chun Jinran couldn't bear it any longer, laughed out loud, and finally patted the other party's shoulder: "Hurry up and sleep, guide."

Satisfied, Hang Sanshao turned around, turned his back to Chun Jinran and went to meet Duke Zhou again.

Chun Jinran let out a long breath, then raised her head furtively, and secretly looked at Pei Xiaoyi.

The man was leaning against the tree, still sitting, with his face facing this side, but his eyes were closed, he should have fallen asleep, and from his expression, he was sleeping soundly.

Chun Jinran looked away bitterly, and decided to pull out this poisonous weed from his heart starting tomorrow morning, regardless of whether he used a small shovel or a big shovel!

Uprooted!

Cut the weeds!

The wildfires are exhausted!

The spring breeze does not blow!
