Ye Xi paused for a moment, then she asked, "Is their fortress here or are they just fleeing here?"
“They escaped here. They will only be gone in a few days.” Zhazha paused for a moment before continuing, “Therefore, if you follow common sense, they may try to hide from you if they find you, so that they can leave without worry. But the way people think in this world is a bit hard to say, so you better avoid them.”
Ye Xi hummed in confession. Before he could ask anything more, he heard a shout from behind.
Ye Xi was surprised. He quickly hung up the phone and left only to see Ding Xiuxiu sitting on the trembling ground and holding onto Wei Shenglan's thigh ...
Wei Shenglan's face pouted as he tried to push her away.
Ye Xi looked around them and then asked Ding Xiuxiu, "What happened?"
Ding Xiuxiu raised his head to look at her with tears in his eyes. “There's a snake..”
Ye Xi asked, "Where are they?"
Ding Xiuxiu replied, "They escaped ..."
Ye Xi was angry. "Why are you shaking?"
Ding Xiuxiu's face looked dumbfounded for a moment. Then, he finally realized, "Oh right!"
Seeing him finally calm down, Wei Shenglan shook his feet, saying, "Wake up."
It was only then that Ding Xiuxiu realized that he had held onto Wei Shenglan's thigh after falling down in panic. He immediately climbed back up and his pale face in fear was now flushed with embarrassment.
The three of them are fine now. They just have to keep going.
Ye Xi just remembered that she had forgotten to ask Zhazha which path they should take, but Zhazha's call records would always disappear after the call ended. He could not call her back and could only wait for Zhazha to call. But there was a faster method, which was to find Luo Nuanfeng. He knows the terrain of this place. Although he had only seen this place from afar, it was better than hitting head first into an unknown place.
With that decision, Ye Xi looked towards the two of them and said, “I think it is better if we go and look for Luo Nuanfeng. At the very least, he knew the terrain here. What's more, we don't know what kind of danger we'll find here. Better to stay in a big group. ”
Wei Shenglan nodded. He had been listening to his thoughts all along, and with what he understood about his thoughts, he could also guess a few things from her. No need to deny it now.
Ding Xiuxiu nodded loudly. This whole situation was too embarrassing for him right now. It was better if Luo Nuanfeng was here.
After a moment of excitement, Ding Xiuxiu asked, "How are we going to look for them?"
Ye Xi replied, “We will return from where we came, then we can go in the direction they are heading. This area was completely undeveloped and no one had actually come here. They will definitely leave marks when they leave. If we follow that trail, we should be able to find it soon.”
"Good." Ding Xiuxiu nodded obediently. He was in a state of confusion now and was completely unable to think. So, she simply nodded at Ye Xi's words and did not pay too much attention. As long as it makes sense, it's pretty convincing.
The three turned around in the same way as they left. They did not get lost as they followed the trail they had left behind before and reached the cliff where they had been before.
Ye Xi looked around. He forgot which direction Luo Nuanfeng and the others were taking.
Ding Xiuxiu was anxious when he asked, “Why are we stopping? I'm tired and hungry, I want to go home.”
Wei Shenglan looked at the large tree on the right and said, "They're heading in that direction."
Ye Xi was very confident in Wei Shenglan's memories, but for the sake of insurance, she still asked, "Are you sure?"
Wei Shenglan nodded.
“Alright, let's go that way.” Then, Ye Xi started walking towards the tree.
Wei Shenglan followed behind him.
Seeing that no one noticed his pain, Ding Xiuxiu followed them with many complaints.
After approaching the large tree, they could see that the weeds behind it had been stepped on by something. They looked withered miserably while the weeds beside all grew tall and strong.
Ye Xi followed along the weeds.
The three of them went far away and finally saw three people climbing a tree in the distance.
Ye Xi walked up to them and saw Luo Nuanfeng and the other boys climbing a tree to pick fruit. There are many branches on this tree and they are quite strong. This is a good tree that is easy to climb and will not break and knock you down.
Dong Fangyu was at the very bottom. He tried to climb the tree with great difficulty, but then he slipped and pulled his shirt out, saying, “Throw it here.”
Luo Nuanfeng picked up the fruit from the tree and looked down. When he saw Ye Xi and co, he was shocked. "Are we heading in the same direction?"
Dong Fang Yu: ???
Ye Xi smiled and said, "We came to look for you guys."
Dong Fangyu was shocked. When he turned around and saw that it was them, he finally calmed down.
When Nan Gongghai heard his voice, he turned to look. He was a little surprised, but he was mostly happy to see her. He grabbed the branch with one hand and picked the fruit with the other before waving at them and saying, "Over time don't meet."
Ye Xi asked, "What fruit is this?"
Luo Nuanfeng shook his head. He came down from the tree and handed the fruit to Ye Xi, saying, “Once, but it must be eaten. Smells pretty good.”
Ye Xi did not accept it, and instead said, "Why don't you try to bite her?"
Then, he lifted the freshly picked fruit in his hand and bit it. As he was still chewing on the fruit, he said, “This is a bit sour, but mostly sweet. It should be edible.”
So, Ye Xi took the fruit from Luo Nuanfeng's hand.
The fruit was green in color and slightly smaller compared to his palm. It did not look unusual and seemed to be edible.
Ye Xi bit. Sweetie? What is sweet! It's all acid! With how numb his mouth was due to the acid, he thought he wouldn't even be able to bite tofu at this moment.
He kept a flat face and was silent for a moment. Then, he swallowed the fruit and smiled. “Sweet and delicious. I'll pick a few more, who will? ”
Ding Xiuxiu had gone mad from starvation since a while ago. He was the first to say, “I! I want one!"
Ye Xi turned around and gave him a reassuring smile before handing the unfinished fruit to Nan Gonghai, gesturing for him to help her a little. Nan Gongghai was just about to grab her when Wei Shenglan grabbed her in front of him.
Ye Xi did not care who took it, she would not bite again. Only after climbing the tree did he realize that the fruit was not from this tree, but other trees that grew alternately with it. Since they were almost fused together, it was rather difficult to say.
Ye Xi watched him for a while and picked some fruit. He descended from the tree and handed it to Ding Xiuxiu.
Ding Xiuxiu couldn't wait to pick it up and bite him. Suddenly, his face became stiff.
The acidity came so suddenly that by the time he reacted, his entire face was distorted.
The others who were also planning to take it suddenly hesitated.
Ding Xiuxiu understood what Ye Xi was trying to do. He forced out with great difficulty, “Enak, too good. I have never eaten such a delicious fruit in my life!”
If there were no tears in his eyes, then his words might really be credible.
But even though everyone knows it's a lie, the biggest temptation for a boy is curiosity. So, Wei Shenglan and the others still picked one up out of curiosity and carefully tried to bite it.
Then, they formed an entire circle of bitter faces.
Suddenly, Ye Xi realized. He said, "I think this is an immature plum."
No one knows what an immature plum looks like, but it doesn't matter. So, they all nodded casually.
Then, Luo Nuanfeng asked, "So why did you guys come looking for us?"
Wei Shenglan and Ding Xiuxiu looked at Ye Xi.
So, Ye Xi could only explain, “We talked about it a bit and thought that there might be some unknown danger in these mountains, so it was better if there were more of us together. If we meet a savage beast or something else, we will become stronger with more people. ”
Everyone felt that what he said made sense so they did not drag on in the matter.
Dong Fangyu asked, “Then should we look for Bing Yiyi and Shang Guanxi?”
Everyone looked at each other, and Ding Xiuxiu said, “Why should we look for them? We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Bing Yiyi. We will be happy to be in our cool room at school, drinking our favorite drinks, eating our favorite foods. Not like this, bitten by mosquitoes, bitten by insects.”.
The more he talked about it, the more he felt angry. She was so angry that she almost wanted to cry.
Everyone is sad.
Dong Fangyu nodded. "Once we get back, I'll definitely have to eat a bottle of ice cream."
Luo Nuanfeng nodded as well. "I want a big bottle of champagne."
Nan Gongghai said, "I will never leave my computer again."
Wei Shenglan pondered for a moment and said, "I want to drink a liter of water."
In general, you'll only say things like this to your last words if you're dying, you know?!
Please don't put up the death flag again!
Ye Xi was almost heartbroken dealing with these clueless people, but she also could not help herself and said, “I want to eat hot pots, barbecues, fried crepes, etc, fried chicken, beer, boiled fish, fried fish, noodles, Coca-Cola, ice cream, roasted duck, sweet sour pork ribs, vinegar and slices of osmanthus pork, spicy crayfish, steamed fish, steamed fish, grilled shrimp.. that's all I want.”
Crowd swallows.
Famine under strong winds will force them immediately to madness.
Ye Xi took a deep breath to dissipate her desire for food and said, "Let's find Shang Guanxi and Bing Yiyi."
Ding Xiuxiu was the first to object. "Why?"
Ye Xi said, “Because Bing Yiyi we are here. But for what's going to happen to him, we have to turn him over to the police. They are also your school friends and friends. Didn't I tell you before? The more people we have, the stronger we are. No matter how you look at it, we have to go look for them. ”
Ding Xiuxiu opened his mouth, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not deny it.
The others thought Ye Xi's words were reasonable, so it was approved in a full voice.
After finishing up, they set out to look for Shang Guanxi and Bing Yiyi.
