Shimmer Forest

Probably the medicine really took effect, and drowsiness gradually hit him, and he slowly fell asleep amidst the other party's nagging.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but in the dimness, he felt something furry brushing against his cheek, as if waking him up.

Subconsciously, he reached out to wipe his slightly itchy cheek, but the throbbing pain in his chest made him wake up suddenly.

The fur ball was bouncing on his face unceremoniously. Seeing that he woke up, he calmed down a little, and stepped back to watch him.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice rang in his ears, he turned his head and saw Fang Wuyi sitting beside him with a complicated expression on his face, holding a medicine bowl in his hand.

Su Jin was startled, and thought quickly in his mind for a while, until he confirmed that the person sitting next to him was indeed Fang Wuyi instead of Zhou Qingshan or someone else, and then slowly said: "Uh... your legs are fine. gone?"

"...I can move now. Although it's still inconvenient, it's mostly healed." I didn't expect that when the man woke up, he thought of his injury instead of his illness.While blaming him for not knowing how to cherish himself, Fang Wuyi also felt a little warmth in his heart.

"Really..." Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes as if muttering to herself: "That's good."

No matter how cruel Hu Yuze was, at least he didn't lie to him. The medicine did work.His hanging heart finally let go.

"Compared to that, you should worry about yourself first." Fang Wuyi left a sentence lukewarm, scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it on his lips.

Su Jin, who was still half asleep and half awake, instinctively opened his mouth, and the slightly bitter soup spread in his mouth, and then he remembered that he seemed to have told Zhou Qingshan not to tell others about his discomfort.

"You've been in a coma for three days, so it's impossible for Qing Shan to hide it if he wants to?" Fang Wuyi said the words as if he had understood his inner thoughts.

Then, both of them froze at the same time.Fang Wuyi's hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped in mid-air, while Su Jin instinctively looked at the little fur balls all over the bed.

The little furballs looked back at him with their heads tilted as if they didn't understand anything, with a look of curiosity on their faces.He sighed helplessly, turned his gaze to the thoughtful person holding the spoon, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Where are Qingshan and the others?"

"They are looking for a way out of the cliff." Fang Wuyi came back to his senses, and put the spoon back into the medicine bowl: "My injury is no longer serious, it's time to leave here. It's hard for you to accompany me in this desolate The place that has taken care of me for so long."

After a pause, Fang Wuyi's stirring of the soup slowed down.After a long silence, he hesitated and said slowly: "Before...you obviously took good care of me, yet I lost my temper with you..."

"It's okay. It's natural for people to feel uneasy when they are injured. Why should General Fang care?" He didn't expect that after such a long time, he would still keep this matter in his heart.Su Jin was somewhat surprised.

A seemingly ordinary polite word blocked all Fang Wuyi's thoughts back.Fang Wuyi really wanted to tell him that his uneasiness at the beginning was not because of his injury, but because he noticed Su Jin's strangeness.His increasingly pale face, and his swaying and feeble steps made him worry a lot.I was more angry at my injured body, which made him bother and became his burden.

But he's a smart guy.He knew that Su Jin's polite and distant answer was to keep the distance between the two of them quietly.

So he buried all those words of worry and anxiety in his heart.

It's not that Su Jin doesn't know what he's thinking.It's just that his heart is very small, and he can't tolerate anyone except the dark-skinned carpenter.

And even without Wu Hao's existence, it is impossible for him to have any affection for the person who once manipulated the village and indirectly killed him.

Even if the current Fang Wuyi is not a mountain god, he still has a grudge.

He thought that Fang Wuyi probably sensed his resistance, so he always stood not far away, watching him silently.

Fang Wuyi is indeed a person who can't find any faults, but unfortunately, the timing of meeting is not right.This is probably fate.

The surroundings returned to silence again.Only two people who were thinking about each other sighed softly.

Zhou Qingshan and Zhao Tianlei quickly found the way out of the mountain. Fang Wuyi's injury has not fully recovered, but he can barely walk around.Su Jin's fever had subsided, and he didn't want to lie on the bed anymore, so he insisted on refusing everyone's suggestion to ask him to rest for a few days, and urged everyone to go on the road.

Because of Fang Wuyi's injury, everyone moved slowly.Su Jin's external wound has healed, so there is no need to bother to cover it up, but the pain has been spreading all over his body. He almost fainted a few times, but he managed to get over it.

After walking slowly for a few days, Zhou Qingshan discovered a very serious problem, that is, they seemed to be spinning in circles all the time, getting lost in this boundless cliff.

However, the strange thing is that as long as Zhou Qingshan or others look for the way alone, they can find the exit smoothly. Once everyone gathers together, they cannot get out of the forest in front of them.

Zhou Qingshan proposed to let everyone go out one by one, but Fang Wuyi was worried that some strange formation had entered, and it would be dangerous to act alone, so he suggested that everyone should act together to avoid any situation.

Most likely due to the failure of the medicine, Su Jin's physical condition is getting worse and worse, even the slowest Zhao Tianlei has discovered his abnormality.

"Mr. Su, are you really okay?" Zhao Tianlei used a small piece of cloth torn from the skirt as a square scarf, wet it and covered his forehead, and asked worriedly.

He could no longer say comforting words, every breath could make Su Jin feel the pain, but he still nodded while enduring the pain.

"It doesn't look like it's okay!" Zhou Qingshan glanced at him, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and frowned tightly: "The forehead is so hot that it can heat sweet potatoes."

"It's obvious that I'm not feeling well, but I've been trying to run around for so long." Fang Wuyi's words had a hint of complaint in his words. He was angry that the person in front of him didn't know how to take care of himself, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The pain made Su Jin feel extremely tired.He is not afraid of dying, perhaps, deep down in his heart, he is looking forward to death.If he died, maybe he could go back to the village where Wu Hao was, and continue to be that carefree child.

The furballs suddenly became restless, as if they were very frightened, restless and chattering.

"So you're here—"

A cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears, like a ghost wandering in the middle of the night, eerie and strange.Su Jin shuddered, and followed the source of the sound in panic.The furballs screamed and scattered like birds and beasts, while Hu Yuze stood opposite, looking down at him with a bloodthirsty and cruel smile on his lips.

"Su Jin?" Sensing the panic in his eyes, Fang Wuyi instinctively turned his head and looked in the direction he was looking, but only saw the shadows of trees swaying in the breeze.He withdrew his gaze and looked at the person in front of him with a puzzled face: "What's wrong? Is there anything there?"

The flickering fear in Su Jin's eyes turned into shock the moment he heard his words.

"Oh, I can't hide it." Hu Yuze scratched and threw it with a smile, then pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and pressed the tip of the sword lightly on Su Jin's chest: "That's right, I'm not human, so they can't see it." to mine."

Before he could say anything, the tip of the sword was stabbed in forcefully, completely submerged in his chest, leaving only the blood-stained hilt hanging out of his chest abruptly.

Su Jin's body froze suddenly, and the pained voice that he tried hard to suppress still blurted out.

"Well--"

"Su Jin!" Seeing his obvious pain, everyone became panic-stricken instantly, not knowing why his body suddenly deteriorated, and they just shouted his name in vain.

"Don't worry, I used a little bit of blindness, they can't see your wound." The smile on the raised lips deepened, Hu Yuze pressed down on the hilt of the sword, and slashed down: "This is a small punishment for you What, you want to abandon me when you don't need the medicine, and leave here?"

Hu Yuze's voice gradually blurred in his ears, mixing with the anxious voices of the crowd.He could no longer hear what they were saying, his consciousness was occupied by severe pain, he just tightly grasped Fang Wuyi's arm, and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Please...at least...let them...leave..."

"Oh, is this the second 'wish' you made?" Hu Yuze pulled out the dagger, and thick blood gushed out along with the pulled out blade. Jin looked distressed: "It will cost a lot to make a deal with me."

After a pause, he pointed his finger at the other party's bleeding wound, and approached his face with an evil smile: "You——you know?"

Before he could answer, Hu Yuze's palm turned into a dead wood, and the sharp palm pierced into his chest, holding his heart tightly.

Blood bloomed in front of his eyes, blurring Su Jin's vision, and the severe pain overwhelmed him.Before his consciousness disappeared, he heard Hu Yuze's voice echoing clearly in his mind like a spell: "Then—the contract is reached——"

He was taken back to the place where Hu Yuze imprisoned him, and tortured day and night.

Cold chains passed through his heart, wrapping him around the stone pillar behind him.Blood poured all over his body.

He raised his head and saw the only ray of light coming from the gap in the ceiling, so bright and so far away.

The body could not rest for a moment, the pain continued to spread and expand, and gradually accumulated until it became numb.

His vision became empty and dull, and slowly, he became unable to see anything.I don't feel anything except pain.

But he still instinctively looks towards the place where the light shines, calling out a name day after day.

Wu Hao, Wu Hao, Wu Hao.
