did not meet tonight

Zhou Feng searched the area carefully, but found nothing. The wound on Ding Manqi's arm was bleeding all the time. Although she didn't urge her, she looked a little impatient.It was getting dark, and there would be no results if they continued to search. In addition, the wounded Ding Manqi was still there, so they had to go back to the camp to find a solution.

Ding Manqi sprained her left foot, but fortunately it was not serious, and she could barely walk. The three of them returned along the original road and finally returned to the camp in the evening.It's relatively empty here, the woods are not so dense, and the evening light enveloped the entire small building. It was quiet inside, and there was no sound at all. Ding Manqi couldn't wait to call out: "Huaxi! Huaxi!"

No one in the small building responded. Ye Jian and Zhou Feng looked at each other, feeling faintly uneasy. Ding Manqi broke away from their hands and limped over. There was a faint blur.Ding Manqi yelled again, but the only answer was the sound of the wind blowing. She became anxious, ignoring her painful left foot, and walked upstairs step by step while leaning on the wall: "Huaxi, are you up there? We're back! Huaxi ,are u there?"

Ye Jian and Zhou Feng followed one after the other, and a figure gradually appeared in their line of sight. He prostrated himself in the aisle, with several backpacks thrown beside him, and all the equipment and food had been spilled. Ding Manqi yelled in horror: "Hua Xi !"

Ye Jian quickly ran over to check, Hua Xi's eyes were closed tightly, there was obvious blood on his forehead, his heartbeat and breathing were still stable, Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "He's fine, he just passed out."

Ding Manqi's legs were weak, she managed to stand still, and asked tremblingly: "What's going on, could it be that someone has been here?"

The scattered items around and the unconscious Huaxi were all proving their guess. Zhou Feng frowned nervously, and said solemnly, "You stay here and take care of him. I'll take a look around first."

"Be careful." Ye Jian warned.Zhou Feng nodded, found the self-defense telescopic stick he brought from the pile of items, turned around and went downstairs.Ye Jian dug out the iodophor and gauze bought in the pharmacy in the community from his backpack, asked Ding Manqi to hand over a bottle of water, roughly cleaned up the blood on Huaxi's forehead, wiped the iodophor on the wound, and wrapped it with gauze.

"Is he okay?" Ding Manqi was so worried that she even forgot the pain in her body.

"It should be fine. I'll ask about the situation when he wakes up." Ye Jian motioned her to raise her arm, "I'll give you some medicine."

Ding Manqi stretched out her hand, saw Ye Jian rubbing iodine on her wound with a cotton swab, subconsciously dodged, Ye Jian comforted her: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, the anti-inflammatory will heal faster."

"Ye Jian, thank you." Ding Manqi could not help feeling a little sore in her throat as she watched his cautious movements.

"We are teammates in the same team, so why not be polite." Ye Jian raised his head and smiled at her.

"Zhou Feng only knows to blame others when something happens. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Ding Manqi said gratefully.

"Don't worry about what happened before, it's because he was too worried about his companion." Ye Jian persuaded.

"Now that Xiangyang is missing and Huaxi is injured again, we don't know what will happen next, what should we do?" Ding Manqi asked in confusion.Although Ye Jian came here for the money, he also knew that if the event ended early, he would miss out on the bonus, but in the current situation, how could he care about these things? He really likes money, and he really needs it, but He would never put anyone else in danger by doing so.

"After Huaxi wakes up, if Xiangyang hasn't come back, we should call the police." He said.

There is really no better way than this now, Ding Manqi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's the only way to go, I hope Xiangyang will be safe and well."

Ye Jian couldn't comfort her anymore, because even he didn't know what to do. Tao Xiangyang disappeared for no reason, and the backpack was found in the woods. Except for food, all outdoor equipment including his own clothes were inside. All is well, why throw away such an important thing?You must know that food is important in the wild, but if you lose your equipment, you will also put yourself in danger.

Zhou Feng had already returned, his expression was very bad, he looked up at them and said, "I checked around, but I didn't find anyone else."

When something like this happened, Ding Manqi didn't have the heart to get angry with him anymore: "Who the hell is he? Why did he target us?" The sky was already dark, and it was pitch black outside the window. There seemed to be countless unknown dangers hidden in the marginal darkness. The more Ding Manqi looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help shrinking towards Ye Jian.

"What is certain is that we are not the only ones on this island." Zhou Feng said gloomyly.

"I've heard the legend of Boundary Island. There was a very serious accident here before, and several people died. Since then, people who come to camp on the island will meet wandering white shadows," Ding Manqi showed a look of fear, " They said that it was ghosts looking for a way home, as long as people stayed on the island overnight, they would come to the door, wanting someone to take them home, will we also?"

The more she spoke, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't say the last few words anymore. There were no doors or windows in this small building, and the mountain wind was blowing, as if there were cries coming from all directions. She shrank behind Ye Jian, unable to even look at it. Don't dare to look out the window again.Ye Jian never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. If there are ghosts in this world, it must be caused by human demons. He said: "Ghosts don't need to eat, but this person took away most of our food."

Zhou Feng leaned over to pick up the backpack on the ground, shook it and said, "So he has been following us."

When Ding Manqi thought of a pair of eyes staring at them like a shadow, whether it was a person or a ghost, she felt extremely frightened. She grabbed Ye Jian's arm and asked eagerly: "Let's call the police as soon as possible, call the police now!"

Ye Jian looked at Zhou Feng questioningly, Zhou Feng nodded and said, "It's not too late, staying here will only increase our danger."

Ding Manqi was hesitant before because she didn't want to miss the opportunity to get along with Huaxi day and night, but when things got to this point, she couldn't care less about these flowers, she just wanted to leave the island as soon as possible, and she couldn't wait for them to speak. Get out your phone and get ready to make a call.The light on the screen was very dazzling in the night. She half-closed her eyes and pressed the alarm call, and suddenly found that the signal grid had been occupied by the words "no service". She said in amazement: "Why is there no signal? Before we lived It's obviously fine when you're here!"

Zhou Feng took out his mobile phone to check, and sure enough there wasn't even a signal. He looked up at Ye Jian, who could only shake his head.Ding Manqi didn't give up, and ran out of the window. There was a base station on the top of the mountain in the distance, but she still couldn't find any signal. Her face was full of astonishment, and she murmured: "How could this be?"

"Maybe it's because of the bad weather," Ye Jian comforted them, "Don't worry, let's go to a higher place after dawn."

"Are we going to sleep here tonight?" Ding Manqi called out.

"It's already dark, and it's more dangerous to find another camp now, and Xiangyang may come back." Ye Jian said, "How about this, Zhou Feng and I will take turns keeping vigil tonight, Miss Ding, take care of Huaxi, if something happens Just call us louder."

Ding Manqi couldn't think of a better way, so she could only reluctantly agree. Ye Jian and Zhou Feng carried Huaxi, who was still unconscious, inside. They had very little food left. Put it in your backpack.Ye Jian went to watch the night first. To be on the safe side, he brought Zhou Feng's retractable stick. This kind of stick was made of fine steel. When swung hard, it could easily shatter bricks and stones. It was the most convenient for self-defense.

The place of vigil is still on the stairs. Not only can you see all the movements on the first floor clearly, but you can also take care of Huaxi and the others. There is no moon tonight, the side outside the gate is dark, and the sounds of various animals come from all directions. Ye Jian was very familiar with it, but it was the first time he felt uneasy from inside.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the conspicuous red cross on the signal grid, the missing Tao Xiangyang, the disappearing mobile phone signal, and the person who had never shown up before. Is all this just a coincidence or premeditated?

In the hotel in Jin County, Xiao Yu was sitting on the sofa, the wall light was dimly lit, and his cell phone gave a notification that he could not be connected, which made his face gradually darken.
