C106 (1/2)
When Jiang Chen returned, he circled around to take a look at the ginseng she had planted, while simultaneously upgrading his array formation.
Just as Jiang Kevin was about to lead the little lynx back in another direction, he suddenly heard a cry for help from afar.
”Save me …” ”Save me …”
His voice was hoarse and weak. If it were not for Jiang Kevin's superior hearing, another person would not have heard it.
Jiang Kevin frowned. After catching the lynx that had jumped down from the tree, he used his other hand to hold his machete and followed the sound of the voice.
At the bottom of the valley, two badly battered people were huddled together. One of them cries for help with a hoarse vocal cords.
The other person's hair was disheveled, and his right hand was hanging down, unable to move. Seeing his companion still calling for help, the corners of his mouth curled up with difficulty. ”Save your energy …” This is a forest deep in the mountains. No one can save us even if you scream out your throat, huhu … ”It would be better to accumulate some energy and wait for tomorrow …”
Right now, the only thing he was glad about was that it was summer. Although it was a bit too dangerous to get a little hot, at least he didn't have to be afraid of dying from the cold.
His companion's mouth moved and he slumped down beside him. ”Sorry, if it wasn't for me …” ”You don't know how to …”
Before he could finish his sentence, his companion cut him off with a wave of his left hand, ”That's enough, you don't need to think too much about what happened. Besides, if I really don't want to come with you, you can't get me … For now, it would be better to think of a way to escape from this predicament. ”
His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not because whatever he said now seemed pretentious. However, he silently made up his mind. Even if he died, he would save his good friend.
He looked up at the towering cliff. How the hell was he going to climb up this high and steep?
After staring blankly for a while, he turned his head to see his friend fall asleep against the stone. He pulled over their only remaining climbing bag, pulled out the blanket, and covered him with it.
When he was in danger, only his backpack fell down with him. His good friend's bag was long gone. The only thing he was glad about was that they had everything in duplicate, otherwise without the mosquito repellent, they would have to feed the mosquitoes that night. Unfortunately, their tent had been left at the place where they had set up camp.
”Gu Gu …” His stomach rumbled. He clutched his stomach and grabbed a piece of bread. Just as he was about to tear it open, he hesitated. They had fallen in the morning, when they still had five bags of compressed biscuits, three loaves of bread, a bag of ham sausages, and three bottles of water. A day and half a night, they ate only two loaves of bread, a bag of compressed biscuits, some ham sausages, and a bottle of water.
It wasn't that he didn't want to eat more, but that he didn't dare to. They were currently in a desolate forest, and almost no one would be able to pass by. What was worse was that their phones had no signal at all, so it would be impossible to call the police.
If there was still no one to pass through tomorrow, and no signal, they would have to put their lives on the line. However, he really didn't have the confidence to climb up such a steep cliff with his bare hands. If he wasn't careful, he might fall off and die.
They had not died when they fell, thanks to a pine tree growing on the cliff wall. They landed on the pine tree, breaking it down, and then they fell to the bottom of the cliff together with the pine tree. With the dense foliage of the pine trees as a cushion, they were lucky enough to survive.
However, he wouldn't be so lucky if he did it again. At the very least, he would be severely injured. If he were lucky enough to knock against a sharp rock, it wouldn't be strange for his brain to burst open on the spot.
He was only twenty-six years old this year, and he was still in his prime. His parents were still waiting for him at home to show their filial piety. He turned his head to look at his friend who was still groaning in pain even as he fainted. The thought of him implicating his best friend made his heart hurt even more.
As he thought about it, he became sorrowful. Tears dripped onto his clothes.
When he recovered a little, he wiped his tears away and took out a pen and paper from his backpack. He leaned on a rock and wrote a dead letter to his family.
When writing ”...” In his next life, when he was still your son, he almost burst into tears, which affected his friends so badly that he had to bite his clothes and try his best to endure.
”You are... Su Shi? ”
Su Zhen, who was lying on the ground, suddenly froze. Sweat poured off his body like rain, then he let out a scream. He ran to his good friend's side with his hands behind his head, and grabbed onto his good friend's clothes without letting go.
His good friend had been woken up by him and was getting impatient, when he raised his head and saw an unfamiliar figure …
Ah!” ”Ghosts!” The two screamed as they hugged each other.
Jiang Kevin, who came over to investigate, felt helpless, ”Rest assured, I'm not a ghost.”
”Are you still human?” Sushi didn't believe her at all. Appearing at the bottom of the cliff in the middle of the night and coincidentally knowing his name, could he be a human without losing a ghost?
Su Shi's good friends were scared stiff. ”Bro, we have no enmity with you. We have no grievances with you …” You, you should go find the culprit who harmed you and stop pestering us. ”
”Ha ha!” Only then did Jiang Chen realize that the duo was treating her like a ghost. She originally wanted to tease them a little, but seeing that the two of them had reached the limit of their mental strength, if she teased them any further, they might lose their lives. Thus, she gave up on this idea.
Jiang Chen said, ”Don't worry, I'm not a ghost.” And I know you, Kang Zihao. ”
The person hiding with Su Zhen was Kang Zihao, who had met Jiang Kevin at the pet store and then drooled over the little lynx.
”Meow …” The little lynx had buried its head in Jiang Kevin's chest. After hearing someone else's voice, it raised its head from Jiang Kevin's embrace.
Kang Zihao was injured, he didn't have much strength left to eat, plus he was frightened just now, so his brain was operating very slowly. But when he heard this ”meow,” he couldn't help but blurt out, ”Little lynx?”
Kang Zihao did not recognize Jiang Kevin, who he had met once before. Instead, he recognized the little lynx that he had only seen in the video.
After recognizing the little lynx, he suppressed the fear in his heart and narrowed his eyes at the person walking under the moonlight. He muttered, ”Jiang Kevin?”
