Back to the Wilderness

"Brother Fuyun, may I cut your fingernails?"

Ji Fuyun was slightly startled, then chuckled, and handed He Zhongqing his hand.

He Zhongqing lowered her head and carefully cut Ji Fuyun's fingernails with a small nail clipper. This nail clipper was found when she was looking for sports clothes before. Besides, there were also some small gadgets such as eyebrow pencils and eyebrow trimmers.

Ji Fuyun's fingernails were embedded with a layer of black mud, which was caused by digging tunnels. It had penetrated deep into the nails, and it was difficult to wash them off with water.He Zhongqing cut off the muddy part bit by bit, paused, He Zhongqing raised her head, "Brother Fuyun, does it hurt?"

Ji Fuyun shook his head slightly, his eyes softened, and he looked at He Zhongqing with relief. After learning that she was digging tunnels without sleep, Ji Fuyun felt very uncomfortable.I always felt that I didn't take good care of her.After returning to the safety zone, He Zhongqing fell asleep with Ji Fuyun in her arms. He insisted on sleeping for more than ten hours, and then woke up to cut Ji Fuyun's nails.

As if treating a handicraft, He Zhongqing carefully cut the mud nails clean, and finally said: "Brother Fuyun, let me cut your toenails!"

"I'd better do it myself." Ji Fuyun hurriedly refused. Although he didn't have foot odor, the smell would not be pleasant after being trapped in the cave for so many days. How could he ask He Zhongqing to cut his toenails in such a frenzy!

He Zhongqing ignored him, and ran outside the entrance of the cave to fetch a basin of hot water in a wooden basin to wash Ji Fuyun's feet.

Ji Fuyun smiled wryly: "Zhong Qing, my legs are fine, and I can still move about freely."

"But you have many wounds on your legs." He Zhongqing looked at him aggrievedly, with tears rolling in her eyes.

Ji Fuyun had no choice but to let her take off her shoes and press her feet into the water basin.

Ji Fuyun's legs were indeed scarred and scabbed due to the application of cold moss mud on his legs, but because his feet were only treated briefly, the edges of the wounds turned white, and the soles of his feet had many tender calluses from frequent running. It was worn out, there was no good meat in it, and it looked horrible.

He Zhongqing's body froze, and after a while, she slowly poured water on it with her hands, for fear of hurting Ji Fuyun.After washing her feet, He Zhongqing took out the nail clippers.

Ji Fuyun just wanted to stop her, but when she saw her turn her back and secretly wipe away her tears, her hands stopped in mid-air.

He Zhongqing didn't feel disgusted at all, and showed the same serious attitude as cutting fingernails.

Ji Fuyun only felt that his heart was filled with hot water, almost overflowing, his whole heart became warm and soft, and the warmth was transmitted to his limbs through the blood, which seemed to relieve all his physical discomfort.

The moonlight shone in from outside the cave like a thin layer of veil, covering the haze that had been there for many days.Eye sockets suddenly became hot and humid, Ji Fuyun raised his head slightly, smiled and blinked.

He Zhongqing was relying on him, so why didn't he not rely on He Zhongqing? If he didn't hold the responsibility to He Zhongqing, how could he have such great perseverance to overcome the pain like a broken bone, how could he be so strong and never give up on the road to despair, how could he be so strong? Are you so obsessed with becoming stronger and alive?

Ji Fuyun and He Zhongqing were like two people with only one foot, supporting each other, relying on each other, walking carefully on the edge of the cliff, if one fell off the cliff, the other would never survive.

"Brother Ji is really a winner in life!" Gao Yiyang sighed after seeing this scene, "I have a good sister and a good...boyfriend..."

Old Wang was startled, "Boyfriend? It's been a while since we last saw each other, and Ji Xiaozi was married off. Tell me, who is it?"

Mai Tianrui keenly caught the sensitive words and immediately pricked up his ears.

Gao Yiyang's expression immediately became tangled.

"Damn it! Could it be that group of rough guys next door! Could it be the one who always gives Ji Xiaozi a face!" Old Wang looked shocked, and he was talking about Chen Jia, "Will Ji Xiaozi smash his brains?" It's broken."

Gao Yiyang shook his head, hesitant to speak.

"You kid, tell me what you have to say!" Old Wang was anxious, his heart was itching to death, and he slapped Gao hard.

"Yes..." Gao Yiyang looked around, tilted his head, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, boss!"

"Fuck, Xie Cheng!" Lao Wang yelled in shock.

Mai Tianrui's expression cracked instantly, he squinted at Ji Fuyun, then at Xie Cheng, does adversity tell the truth?

Xie Cheng heard the sound and looked this way.

Gao Yiyang was stunned, wondering if Boss Xie planned to announce the matter of him and Ji Fuyun being together, if he didn't intend to, he would accidentally shake it out, Boss Xie would cut him to death...

"What's the matter?" Xie Cheng came over and sat down beside the two of them.

Gao Yiyang felt that he had done something wrong and was a little guilty, so he didn't dare to look at him.

On the other hand, Lao Wang, the soul of gossip is burning, and he can't wait to burn Xie Cheng to slag. He rubbed it and looked at it: "I heard that you and Ji Xiaozi are together? The speed is quite fast!"

Xie Cheng hesitated slightly, and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Old Wang squinted and raised his head.

Gao Yiyang was frightened by Xie Cheng's glance and immediately raised his hand to surrender: "Boss Xie, I didn't say it on purpose! Don't kill someone to silence you!"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Ah?" Gao Yiyang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "I heard what Luo Zongqiang and the others said, and they also said that you and Brother Ji were rubbing each other's ears..." Gao Yiyang didn't dare to continue to say what he said next. Swallowed it alive.

"Don't say such things in the future." Xie Cheng also knew that it was the misunderstanding caused by Luo Zongqiang and the others when they discovered Liuyan. When it comes to Liuyan, it's time for them to go to the cave to search for Liuyan. "Come here."

Xie Cheng asked Old Wang and Gao Yiyang to follow him, and then went to call Zhou Qiming, Zhang Shijie, Wei Xing, and Mai Tianrui to an unoccupied corner of the cave to discuss the matter.

"I really found Liuyan!" Zhang Shijie couldn't help being overjoyed, and the others couldn't help but also. After the earthquake, they all focused on the safety of Xie Cheng and others, ignoring their original purpose , suddenly heard Xie Cheng say that he found Liuyan, it was a surprise.

"Ji Fuyun discovered it." Xie Cheng nodded, and gave Ji Fuyun the credit.

Gao Yiyang clenched his fist, "Great! Brother Ji is really awesome."

"Go shopping tomorrow." Xie Cheng said, dividing the team into three teams, "Zhou Qiming, you take three people to go fishing at the beach tomorrow, Zhang Shijie, you take two people to guard the safe zone, and the rest go underground with me." Cave."

"Okay." Zhang Shijie replied, but his head was lowered.

Zhou Qiming nodded without any objection.

"What about Brother Ji?" Gao Yiyang asked, turning his head to look at Ji Fuyun who was still enjoying himself with He Zhongqing by the entrance of the cave.

"His leg is seriously injured, let him rest for a few more days." Xie Cheng said, got up and went to find Zhao Lan.

Gao Yiyang's eyes immediately changed, and when Xie Cheng walked away, he leaned into Lao Wang's ear, "Master, what do you mean by thanking the boss? What is the relationship between him and Brother Ji? He didn't let us continue talking because it was Is it fake or because it needs to be kept secret?"

Old Wang stroked his chin, his face was unpredictable, coupled with his few wrinkles that had been eroded by the years, he looked like a bit of a master, "Based on my years of experience, they have something to play."

Mai Tianrui sneered.

Gao Yiyang gave him a provocative look, "Sure enough, Boss Xie is more suitable for Brother Ji than some people."

Mai Tianrui's face darkened.

Gao Yiyang laughed unkindly, feeling refreshed in his heart.

Xie Cheng talked with Zhao Lan for a few words, brought some logs from the entrance of the cave, and whittled them into strips of uniform thickness.Zhao Lan is weaving these wooden strips. His not-so-slender hands are flying back and forth quickly, very dexterously, like two elegant butterflies. The flowers are blooming under his palms while flying, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

Soon, Zhao Lan weaved a sieve the size of a washbasin. The gap between the wooden strips was not tight, and there were some small holes, which could just sift out the sand and leave slightly larger flow rock particles.

"Do you think this will work?" Zhao Lan handed the wooden sieve to Xie Cheng, a little nervous, afraid that he might not do well.

"Very good." Xie Cheng was very satisfied.

Zhao Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled happily, and the movement of weaving the sieve became faster and faster.

Xie Cheng's dagger was extremely sharp, and his hands were faster. In just a short while, a few pieces of wood turned into a pile of tall, slender wooden sticks. After finishing his work, Xie Cheng simply squatted there and watched Zhao Lan .

Zhao Lan's manual movements were fast, but in Xie Cheng's eyes, every trajectory was clearly visible. After watching for a while, Xie Cheng also picked up the wooden sticks to weave it, and it was really delicious!

"You are amazing!" Zhao Lan took a few glances and couldn't help being amazed that the weaving technique was exactly the same as hers.

Xie Cheng smiled. In his opinion, this little gadget is really nothing, but it is a bit difficult for others, "You can teach others in the future, and I will get some bamboo later, and there will be many useful things."

"Yeah!" Zhao Lan nodded heavily, feeling that he was finally useful, "Bamboo is very tough, and I can weave a lot of strong bamboo baskets."

After overnight processing, the two made ten wooden sieves, which were used as pans to wash away the flowing rock.

Early the next morning, Xie Chengcheng took Gao Yiyang and the others to avoid Luo Zongqiang and set off. Zhou Qiming then took the three of them to the beach.

Ji Fuyun, who rarely had a good night's sleep, opened his eyes in a daze. If it wasn't for the singing of birds, he would have thought that he woke up in the laboratory after a busy day like countless days and nights in the past.

Seeing Ji Fuyun wake up, Zhang Shijie went to stand guard outside the cave, but after seeing Liu Jun winking at him, he walked towards the mountain next to the safe zone.

Zhang Shijie remained silent for a moment, his eyes dim.After a while, he finally opened his legs and left quietly following Liu Jun's footsteps when no one noticed him.

After climbing a section of the mountain road, I entered a place with dense forests, and there were so many shadows that I couldn't see anything inside from the safe area.

"You have something to do with me?" Zhang Shijie saw Liu Jun waiting for him not far away.

Liu Jun smiled, "For your sake."

Zhang Shijie stared at him, as if trying to see the true meaning behind his smile.

Liu Jun shrugged and said, "I don't know if the merger we agreed before still counts."

Zhang Shijie snorted coldly, "I can't be the master of the current team, so can you be the master of Luo Zongqiang's team?"

"I already told Boss Luo last night that he very much welcomes you, Brother Zhang, to join us. After all, we have lost too many people." Liu Jun was very sorry. He's on an equal footing."

Zhang Shijie was shocked and looked at Liu Jun suspiciously.

"It's true, your strength can be on the same level as Boss Luo." Liu Jun vowed, "Boss Luo has also observed you guys, except for Xie Cheng, everyone else's force is at a similar level, but you Look at your team, that Zhou Qiming, Ji Fuyun, Wei Xing, even that kid and old man, their status is faintly above yours, brother Zhang, we are not worth it for you."

Zhang Shijie didn't speak, but he recognized Liu Jun's words in his heart.He knows his own strength, he has received strict orthodox training, and he will not suffer if he goes to Luo Zongqiang's team. Luo Zongqiang is not the one with the strength to crush him to death.

Xie Cheng has almost no distinction of status in the treatment of powerful players, and he has no such idea, and even thinks that his boss is just a leader, not a power.But if Zhang Shijie's mind was turned, he would look at things in a wrong way, and Xie Chengfan's decision was also biased in his thinking.

For example, in the case of Amoy Liuyan, Xie Cheng put Zhang Shijie in the safe zone because he thought he was a pillar, but in Zhang Shijie's view, he didn't value himself.But about Liuyan... Zhang Shijie thought about it, but he didn't intend to tell Liu Jun that he had his own ideas.

Liu Jun took his look into his eyes and said with a smile: "Xie Cheng is not a good leader. I believe you can also notice that sooner or later you will be destroyed if you follow him. Why don't you bring people who are also unwilling to accept Xie Cheng's leadership to join us? .”

"You not only want me to betray Xie Cheng, but you also want me to betray with others?" Zhang Shijie sneered.

"Hey, what kind of betrayal is it? A good bird chooses a tree to live in." Liu Jun waved his hand, "Besides, this world doesn't care about loyalty."

Zhang Shijie lowered his head, a little moved, and said, "I'll think about it again."

Liu Jun smiled, and his words were meaningful, "If you are afraid of Xie Cheng's revenge, Boss Luo can help you..."

"Do you want to destroy Xie Cheng?" Zhang Shijie couldn't help but sneer, although he was dissatisfied with Xie Cheng, but he was convinced of his strength, "I can only say that you think too much, Xie Cheng is far stronger than what you see He is very powerful, but he is... a person from that place."
