Chapter 1860 Lost in the Wilderness (17)
"What are you doing here?" Chuzheng asked sullenly, resisting the urge to kick him.
Xin Zhu heard the sound and looked back, "Xiao Qi..."
Xin Zhu's voice suddenly stopped and he asked uncertainly, "Are you angry?"
The person standing in front of him had a wrong aura, and Xin Zhu could clearly feel it.
But he didn't know why she was angry.
"Why are you running around?" Who's to blame if something goes wrong?
Xin Zhu pointed to the side, "Xiao Qi...Xiao Qi suddenly ran away. I chased it out, but it went down."
There is a pit next to it. Judging from the traces of soil and grass, it seems that it was sunken, and it was not long ago.
Chuzheng took a deep breath, "Don't leave without saying a word."
Xin Zhu "..." But this is my freedom.
Xin Zhu glanced at Chu Zheng but didn't answer.
Yao Qing caught up at this time, holding his knees and panting, "This... this is where we encountered danger just now. This... pit doesn't seem to have existed before."
There are footprints in the pit, and looking from above, you can see that there is clearly space below.
The footprints were pointing inwards, so Brother Gao and his group should have gone in.
Xin Zhu looked inside frequently, and Chu Zheng asked calmly, "You won't think about it, will you?" If you dare to say so, I'll kill you!
The passage was dark, and only the areas illuminated by the flashlight beam could be seen clearly.
This passage is entirely made of a kind of black stone, and the ground is also paved with the same type of stone, which is a bit harsh when you step on it.
Looking at the environment, it doesn’t look like it was built in modern times.
The passage is clean with no decorations.
Walking inside, there is a slight echo of footsteps, and occasionally the wind blows from the front, and I don't know where it comes from.
Chu Zheng walked in front, Xin Zhu followed beside her, and Yao Qing fell behind.
Yao Qing also wanted to get close to Chu Zheng, but she didn't dare.
I always felt that Miss Liu was very fierce, so she could only follow behind with her arms trembling.
The slightest sign of disturbance would make my legs weak from fear.
Chuzheng shined his light on the ground, and at first he could still see the footprints coming in because they were covered in mud, but when he walked inside, those things were no longer visible.
Finally, when they were at a fork in the road, Chuzheng used a flashlight to look at "Which way to go?"
Both sides are the same, no difference can be seen.
"left."
Xin Zhu's tone was very determined. Chu Zheng looked at him sideways. Xin Zhu avoided Chu Zheng's gaze and lowered his head.
Xin Zhu thought she would ask him, but Chu Zheng didn't ask anything. He looked away and walked to the left.
"Miss Liu, Miss Liu..."
Yao Qing's voice came from behind, and then spread far into the depths of the passage.
"What are you doing?" Chuzheng sounded unhappy.
Yao Qing squatted down while holding on to the wall, his voice a little exhausted, "I...I feel a little out of breath, can you take a break."
The air in the passage is different from that outside. Yao Qing's physical fitness is not very good at first glance, and it is normal to feel discomfort.
Chuzheng first asked Xin Zhu, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xin Zhu glanced at Yao Qing and said, "It's a little boring, why don't we take a break?"
"Aren't you in a hurry to find your rat?"
"It's called Xiao Qi."
"Xin Zhu, don't be too kind in front of outsiders." Chuzheng raised her hand to brush away the broken hair from his forehead, revealing his beautiful brow bones. "People will take advantage of you."
Xin Zhu pursed his lips, knowing that she could tell that he wanted to rest because of Yao Qing.
"But she looked miserable."
"She warned her not to follow. She is not responsible for herself. In this case, I don't have to pay for her behavior."
"..."
Xin Zhu was silent for a while, "You said kindness can be taken advantage of by others, would you do the same?"
Xin Zhu regretted it after asking.
They didn't know each other long enough to ask such a question.
But he had already said it, and he couldn't take it back.
Chu Zheng suddenly turned off the flashlight, Xin Zhu's vision fell into darkness, and he instantly felt the person standing in front of him approaching.
The smell of her body was different from the smell of nature. It was a smell that he had never felt before, but he felt at ease and comfortable.
Xin Zhu felt his heartbeat gradually speeding up.
——When I see him, my heart beats faster and my blood boils. No sound could be heard in the ears, nothing could be seen with the eyes, only him, only him.
This sentence flashed across Xin Zhu's mind inexplicably.
This is the sentence someone wrote in the margin of that book.
At that time, he couldn't experience the artistic conception of that sentence at all, but now he seems to be able to feel it.
A soft touch ran across her cheek, and her voice rang in her ears.
"Of course I will, I want to get you."
Snapped……
When the light came on, Chuzheng still stood in the distance, as if the person who was close to him just now was not her.
Xin Zhu's breathing was really not smooth at this time.
What did she mean by that?
Yao Qing only saw Chu Zheng and Xin Zhu talking, but she didn't hear what they said clearly.
Yao Qing can now confirm that the relationship between the two is...not simple.
Where did that boy come from? Did you follow them?
Although Chu Zheng said this to Xin Zhu, she did not go any further. Instead, she leaned against the clean stone wall and shined a flashlight into the depths of the passage.
Xin Zhu took a few steps back, his back pressed against the cold wall. The coldness instantly spread from his back to his whole body, dissipating the heat.
——I want to get you.
Why did she say this?
Is it because of the secrets about him?
still……
"I'm ready to rest, let's keep walking." Yao Qing spoke out, breaking the silence here.
Chuzheng stood up, took Xin Zhu's hand, and walked straight forward without giving him a chance to refute.
Xin Zhu was thinking about something when he was suddenly pulled forward. He staggered several steps before he could keep up with Chu Zheng.
Yao Qing followed behind.
Xin Zhu didn't dare to ask any more questions and started looking for Xiao Qi seriously.
Chuzheng originally held Xin Zhu a little below his wrist, but seeing that he didn't struggle, she boldly held his hand.
After walking for some distance, Chu Zheng suddenly stopped in his steps.
There is the smell of blood in the air...
It's not strong, it comes from farther away.
Soon they heard the sound of human breathing, the kind of breathing that was on the verge of death.
The beam of light illuminated a dark figure lying in front of him. As the distance shrank, Chuzheng could clearly see the person lying there.
Xie Ningfeng.
His clothes were torn, and he was lying on the ground. His arms and legs were bleeding, and there were wounds on his face, which were terrible.
Xin Zhu subconsciously wanted to take a look, but Chu Zheng held him back.
"Mr. Xie." Yao Qing from behind stepped forward and helped Xie Ningfeng up. "What happened? Why are you here? Where are Brother Gao and the others?"
Xie Ningfeng had more air coming out and less air coming in. He had difficulty pronouncing words and his eyes were blurry and gradually lost focus.
He used his last strength to point forward, and then his hand fell down weakly.
I'm out for something, so I won't update another chapter~
