did not meet tonight

The forest after the rain was very humid. Ye Jian and Zhou Feng only walked in it for a while before their bodies were completely drenched by the rain. When the cold wind blew, they felt uncomfortable.Using the strong flashlight, they found a series of footprints of different shades left on the ground. Judging from the appearance, it seemed that someone had just ran here. They searched around the area carefully, but they did not find Hua Xi.

"It's not an option to go on like this, let's go find it separately." Ye Jian said anxiously.

"We still don't know how many people are on the other side. It's too dangerous to act separately." Zhou Feng disagreed.

"You're right, our situation is indeed very dangerous, but Xiangyang has disappeared, we can't let anything happen to Huaxi." Ye Jian's eyes were extremely determined in the night, "Everyone came to Boundary Island together, no matter what happens , you can’t leave your companion behind!”

"Don't forget, it's Hua Xi who caused us to be in this situation. Without him, none of this would have happened!" Zhou Feng looked excited. He had been suppressing his emotions for the past few days, and finally broke out at this time. , "Hua Xi is not worth what we do, only when he dies can we leave this island safely!"

"Life is priceless, nothing is worth it or not." Ye Jian shook his head.

"Under this situation, is it wrong to think more about yourself? I won't take risks for anyone again. If you want to go, go by yourself!" Zhou Feng said coldly.

"I understand your feelings, and I have no right to force you to do anything, but I can at least ask myself. Take good care of Miss Ding. If I don't come back, I will leave this place to you." After finishing speaking, Ye Jian stepped back a few Step, turn around and follow the footprints and leave quickly.

"Ye Jian!" Zhou Feng shouted at his back, but he still didn't stop him.He made a gesture to catch up, but he stopped abruptly as soon as he took a step forward. All he could see in his eyes was the dense jungle that could not be seen, and the darkness was blocking him, like an insurmountable sea of ​​swords and flames. As long as he took another step, he would be Will be torn to pieces by the beasts that hide within.

Not worth it, really not worth it.

Zhou Feng stepped back, turned his head and left suddenly.

Anyone is not worth risking his life!

He walked quickly to the hut, and saw that the door was half open from afar. He paused, clenched the telescopic stick in his hand, and approached cautiously at a slower speed.The room was very quiet, and no sound could be heard. He stood at the door and called Ding Manqi's name, but there was no response after waiting for a while.He turned and walked to the window, and scanned inside with a bright flashlight. Their backpacks were still thrown on the ground, but Ding Manqi was nowhere to be seen.

"Ding Manqi?" Zhou Feng pushed the door open with a telescoping stick, and then walked in after making sure that there was no one hiding in the corner with a bright flashlight.The room was empty, sleeping bags and backpacks were still in their original places, and Ding Manqi was nowhere to be found.

"Ding Manqi!" He raised his voice and called out, the only response was the sound of the wind blowing through the window, the rain-wet clothes stuck to his body, it seemed that even his bones were cold.Ding Manqi was very timid. Before they came back, she couldn't open the door, let alone leave alone, unless someone she knew and trusted came here and knocked on the door to take her away.

Who is this person? Could it be Tao Xiangyang?

Zhou Feng felt a chill running through his body. He noticed a trace of dragging on the muddy floor at the door. It seemed that someone had just pulled something away from here, but their sleeping bags and backpacks were still in the room.

Zhou Feng's heart suddenly turned cold, he hesitated to look at the traces on the ground, and after a while, he walked over slowly.The traces extended in the opposite direction to them, and stopped abruptly beside a big tree, leaving only a series of messy footprints.He glanced around, the wind blowing the branches and leaves swaying in the night, behind those bushes, it seemed that there would be danger that people could not guard against at any time, he stepped back slowly, preparing to leave this place.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound from above his head.

creak

It was as if something was dangling from above.

creak

As the cold wind blows, the sound continues, heavy and slow, like a rusty knife cutting through flesh.

Zhou Feng's hands began to tremble. He stood there, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head.

He saw Ding Manqi.

He saw Ding Manqi hanging from a tree branch, with the escape rope wrapped around her neck, a shoe dropped under the tree, her hands and feet drooping, shaking slightly in the wind.

creak

It was the sound of rope rubbing against branches.

Ye Jian followed the footprints as he walked deeper and deeper, but he never found Huaxi. The weeds on the ground became thicker and thicker, and the traces gradually faded and disappeared. Ye Jian stopped, and the strong light illuminated the dense bushes in front of him. He did not carry a compass , If you chase after it, it is easy to lose your way inside.

He can choose to turn back, but in this case, it is tantamount to giving up Huaxi, and his retreat at this moment may cause Huaxi to lose the last chance to survive.Many people say that he is a stubborn person who obviously does not need to bear the responsibility, but still has to carry it on his shoulders. Everyone only sees his smile, not what he has gone through. difficult process.He never needs approval or praise from others, everything he does is just because he wants to do it.

Ye Jian took a deep breath, pushed aside the bushes in front of him and continued to walk forward, the bright flashlight swept across the forest, and suddenly saw a figure flashing behind the tree, he stopped, and asked vigilantly: "who?"

The figure seemed to be stunned, slowly poked out from behind the tree, and asked cautiously, "Is it Ye Jian?"

Although there was panic in this voice, it was still so gentle and sweet, Ye Jian couldn't help being overjoyed: "Hua Xi?!"

The figure walked towards him with a surprised expression on his face. It was Hua Xi, whose whereabouts were unknown before. His whole body was wet and covered with mud, and he looked in a panic.Ye Jian grabbed him and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?"

Hua Xi shook his head and said in shock: "I saw a figure in the forest just now, and I subconsciously chased after him. I didn't expect not only to be thrown away by him, but also lost. I didn't follow until I found a light here. Fortunately, I met you , or I might be trapped in this forest."

"Have you seen his appearance clearly?" Ye Jian asked eagerly.

"No, he ran very fast. Judging from his figure, he should be a man, and there are no other accomplices. I suspect he has been following us." Hua Xi glanced left and right, but the fear still did not disappear from his heart.

"It's good that people are fine, don't be so impulsive next time." Ye Jian could finally relax.

"I'm sorry, this incident was caused by me. I just want to solve it quickly so that everyone can be safe." Hua Xi lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong.Ye Jian quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, it's just that this person is too dangerous, and it's easy to cause accidents if you act alone. Next time you meet him, you must call us loudly, you understand?"

"Since I came to the island, I have been the one who has troubled you all. I'm really sorry." Huaxi's voice was full of guilt.

"You didn't use a knife to force us to participate in the event. What's the trouble? Don't say such things in the future. We are all companions. Isn't there an idiom called the same hatred? Only when we unite can we let that bastard Egg has no chance!" Ye Jian cheered him on.

"You are really a good person." Huaxi sighed softly.

"That's right, the good person cards I received in college can fill up a drawer!" Ye Jian winked at him and said, "No one else knows about this, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Hua Xi chuckled, "Okay."

Although they traveled a long distance, Ye Jian was not troubled by this road. He grew up running in the mountains and forests, and his sense of direction has always been very accurate. He quickly took Hua Xi back to the hut where they camped before.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and the woods showed the chaos before dawn, and the hut stood tall in the night. They saw Zhou Feng sitting at the door, the bright flashlight was on, and his pale face was illuminated.
