Back to the Wilderness

The sky is getting darker and darker, the dark clouds are hanging down, and the darkness seems to be suppressed, and the heavy rain is about to pour down.

Xie Cheng looked up at the sky, and waved everyone back to the cave immediately. Even though they only caught a few hares now, there are not many beasts around the safe zone, most of them are small animals on the mountain, but they would rather go hungry You can't climb the mountain in the rain.

Although the safe zone is located in a valley, who makes it a safe zone? It is surrounded by mountains with dense vegetation and compact soil. In addition, there are underground rivers and lakes connected to each other. The valley will not face the threat of floods and mudslides.

"Where are Zhou Qiming and Ji Fuyun?" After Xie Cheng came back, he habitually counted the number of people, but found that these two people were nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Shijie's face was not very good-looking. After Xie Cheng left, he was the person in charge of the cave, but he didn't notice the whereabouts of these two people. He was negligent!

"I saw Brother Ji went out, and I thought he was going outside for convenience, but I haven't seen him back for a long time." Gao Yiyang said, hearing the roar of the wind outside, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "By the way, Brother Ji went out on his feet. Brother Zhou also followed out."

Xie Cheng frowned, and asked Zhao Lan again, only to find that Ji Fuyun left after talking to Qin Hao. Combined with He Zhongqing's current situation, Ji Fuyun's whereabouts became very clear.

The corners of Xie Cheng's lips curled up, and he didn't know whether it was better to laugh at Ji Fuyun's overreaching, or to respect him for his love and righteousness.

But Zhou Qiming's meeting with Ji Fuyun was far beyond his expectation.

With a troubled face, Gao Yiyang asked Xie Cheng: "Boss Xie, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Xie Cheng asked back.

Gao Yiyang was startled, and his voice raised unconsciously: "Brother Ji and Brother Zhou haven't come back yet, why don't we go look for them?

Xie Cheng's chin slanted towards the entrance of the cave. It was clearly still two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was dark, and the small lake was also rolling with waves. "How do I find it?"

"I'm going to look for it because it's going to rain!" Gao Yiyang blushed anxiously, "Brother Ji and Brother Zhou will be in danger!"

"When they decided to go out, they should have this awareness." Such cold words came out of Xie Cheng's mouth but were extremely flat, making Gao Yiyang momentarily in a trance.

After thinking about it, Gao Yiyang understood the meaning of Xie Cheng's words, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted: "Thank you, Boss!"

Xie Cheng put his eyes on him, waiting for him to continue.

Gao Yiyang took a deep breath, and his tone was full of disappointment, "I thought you were our boss, and I admired you very much. You are so powerful, but shouldn't the boss protect the brothers under him?"

Xie Cheng chuckled, seemingly mockingly, but remained silent.

Gao Yiyang was even more disappointed when he saw this, and licked his dry lips. Gao Yiyang said firmly: "If you don't go look for it, then I will go. Brother Ji and Brother Zhou will take care of me in every battle, especially Zhou Brother, he will guide me some movements, maybe he doesn’t care, but I know that I have made great progress. Brother Ji and Brother Zhou may be on their way back now, and they may encounter a little trouble, as long as we go Get them back, I can't let them wait for help."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yiyang turned his head to look at the others, and the others lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at Gao Yiyang, for fear that Gao Yiyang would drag them along.They have never experienced how dangerous it is to climb a mountain in a heavy rain, but just thinking about it makes them feel terrible.

"Master, what about you?" Gao Yiyang's eyes stopped on the oldest old Wang in the cave.

Lao Wang's hands behind his back were clenched into fists, released, and then fisted again. After repeating this several times, Lao Wang finally made up his mind: "Go and go, Ji Xiaozi still takes good care of my old bones. If I don’t go to him, I will have a conscience.”

After a while, Old Wang smiled wryly again: "Actually, I feel like I have a fever. After all, I'm older. I'm not as good as you guys. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this level. Instead of waiting to die slowly, it's better to go crazy." Crazy, if Boy Ji finds the medicine, let him give me a copy too, if I can't find it, I've done a good deed, and after I die, let Lord Yan give me a good birth."

"Master!" Gao Yiyang's expression was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to persuade him to stay.

Lao Wang hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted Gao Yiyang in time: "Don't say anything! I've made up my mind."

Zhang Shijie, who had always been sullen, took a step forward and said, "I have a responsibility for not finding them missing in time, and I will go too."

Xie Cheng scanned the three of them one by one, and asked with a smile, "Just the three of you?"

"I'll go too." The person who spoke surprised Old Wang Gao Yiyang, and it turned out to be Mai Tianrui who hadn't had much contact with them.

Wei Xing, who has a close relationship with Mai Tianrui, was even more surprised than them. He stared at Mai Tianrui with an incredulous expression on his face, "Oh, I said Mai, this is not your character. You talked to those two people Have you ever talked, why do you have nothing to join in this excitement? If this excitement is not well organized, you will die."

Mai Tianrui just smiled lightly, without any intention of explaining.

Gao Yiyang and Lao Wang were astonished as they were, but with one more person and more strength, they would not reject Mai Tianrui.

At this time, another man came over and said, "There is me."

The name of this person is Xing Li. When he met the half-dog group before, he almost died under the mouth of the half-dogs. It was Ji Fuyun who saved him in time.

"Can I go?" Zhao Lan who had been watching suddenly asked, "Although I am a woman, I grew up in the mountains, and I am not bad at climbing mountains..."

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Lao Wang with a wave of his hand: "Don't worry about it, you girl, the most important thing is that you take good care of Ji Xiaozi's precious sister!"

"That's right, sister Zhao Lan, you should take care of little Zhong Qing here, otherwise Brother Ji will definitely not be able to bear seeing Zhong Qing's accident when he comes back." Gao Yiyang agreed.

Zhao Lan thought for a while and lowered her head, acquiescing to their thoughts.

"Just these people?" Xie Cheng asked again, but now no one answered.

Those on the same team as Ji Fuyun and Zhou Qiming also looked hesitant, but they chose to remain silent in the end.As for other people who have no intersection with these two people, there will be no entanglement.

"That's good." Xie Cheng smiled, "Then let's go."

I saw Xie Cheng carefully inspected the cowhide rope and the dagger, and put them on the side of his waist, and went to the side of the cave to pick up a few intact bone spears, weighed them, and handed them one by one to find Ji Fuyun and Zhou Qiming's five people.

Gao Yiyang froze there, took the bone spear subconsciously, and waited for Xie Cheng to come out of the cave before he realized, "Oh, sir, does Boss Xie mean to be with us? But didn't he say before... "

Old Wang also had some doubts on his expression. After thinking about it for a while, he finally revealed an expression of enlightenment, and patted Gao Yiyang on the head quite proudly, "You dumb-headed..."

"Hurry up." Xie Cheng shouted, "Try to find them before the rain hits hard. If you can't find them, don't force yourself. Find a place to shelter from the rain for your own safety, especially pay attention to avoid mudslides. If you encounter mudslides unfortunately, remember Run upstream along its vertical direction..."

Gao Yiyang nodded hastily, quickened his pace, and couldn't help asking Lao Wang in a low voice: "What do you mean by thanking the boss?"

"Hehe." Old Wang pretended to be condescending with a smile, "Xie Cheng is a shrewd person, and he is always scheming people. He said before that he would not go to Ji Xiaozi Zhou Qiming and the others, I am afraid he was testing others."

"Try?" Gao Yiyang didn't understand.

Lao Wang nodded and continued: "Now that people are in panic and uncertainty, Xie Cheng may have to change his policy. Instead of making such a big deal, it's better to focus on cultivating a few people with good character and trustworthiness."

Gao Yiyang was still confused.

Seeing him like this, Lao Wang wanted to beat him up, but he couldn't explain it carefully, so he could only sigh: "It's good that Ji Xiaozi is here, he is also ghostly, and maybe a few words can make you laugh." you understand."

Zhou Qiming found Ji Fuyun who had passed out on a high ground.

At this time, Ji Fuyun's face was pale, without the slightest trace of blood, and his whole body was wet and drenched in cold sweat. If it wasn't for the slight heaving of his chest, Zhou Qiming would even have thought it was a corpse.

When Zhou Qiming lifted him up, he found that his hands were drooping abnormally, which was due to fatigue caused by excessive consumption.

He stopped in his tracks and looked around carefully, but he didn't find anything suspicious. He didn't know what Ji Fuyun had suffered to make him end up in such a serious way.

The air is filled with the smell of dust, dark clouds seem to be within reach, and visibility is getting lower and lower.

Hurrah, the soybean-sized rain was poured down in an instant, stirring up a handful of dust, which turned into mud in a blink of an eye. In just a few seconds, the highland was completely muddy.

Zhou Qiming carried Ji Fuyun on his shoulders and looked around.The rain hurts my body, accompanied by rumbling thunder and snarling wind from time to time, it is almost impossible to walk an inch on this steep mountain.Not to mention that Zhou Qiming carried a person who weighed more than a hundred pounds.

He needs a place to hide, and a boulder in front of him is a good choice.

Zhou Qiming went over and placed Ji Fuyun under the boulder where it could block part of the rain, and walked around the boulder himself. The boulder is very large and stable, and it is on a solid high ground, so it will not collapse. It is relatively safe .

I don't know how long it took, but the stimulation of the rain made Ji Fuyun wake up gradually.

He opened his eyes and saw a drowsy rain scene.It took a long time for Zhou Qiming's standing figure to reflect on his retina. He tilted his head stiffly, looked at Zhou Qiming, and asked with a hoarse voice, "How long has it been?"

Zhou Qiming's voice was indistinguishable from anger to emotion, "Eight hours."

For the agreed four hours, Zhou Qiming found Ji Fuyun for an hour, and the two hid here for three hours.

Fortunately, only eight hours passed.Ji Fuyun showed a smile that was so shallow that it was almost invisible, he was really afraid that several days had passed when he woke up, and it would be too late.

Ji Fuyun closed his eyes and rested for a while, and after feeling the existence of his limbs, he struggled to get up, "It's raining." He was a little late.

Ji Fuyun didn't care about the big raindrops, and walked all the way forward, and came to a cliff in front of this highland.

Zhou Qiming didn't stop him, but just followed him. He could tell that Ji Fuyun was not in a good condition.

Ji Fuyun half-kneeled and poked his head forward, and saw a few herbaceous plants with green leaves and small white flowers growing on the edge of the cliff, swaying left and right in the violent storm, and the tiny petals were gradually falling down by the rain, which was very miserable.

Before he fell into a coma, he targeted two plants. One was this, and the other was the blood grass identified before coma. The blood grass can stop bleeding and has a great effect, but it doesn't help He Zhongqing's illness. He must continue to search , keep trying.

Ji Fuyun felt that he had enough rest, maybe he could endure the pain two or three times.

His chaotic head, full of searching for herbs, didn't notice that the soil under his knees was wet with rain, exposing the rocks inside, and the surrounding rocks became loose and wobbly.

A large drop of rainwater fell into Zhou Qiming's eyes, and he closed them subconsciously. When he opened them again, he found that Ji Fuyun in front of him had disappeared in an instant.

"Zhou Qiming, I just like you, what are you doing!"

"Zhou Qiming, do you still treat me as a brother? Do you dare to avoid me?"

"Zhou Qiming, I'm going to perform a mission. When you come back, don't act like this, and act like I didn't say anything."

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Yang... died in the line of duty."

The body's instinctive reaction was as turbulent as the memories. Before Zhou Qiming realized anything, his body had already rushed out and grabbed Ji Fuyun's hand tightly!

On the edge of the cliff eroded by the torrential rain, the two hung on it, precariously.
