Du Yifeng's lesson was so profound that everyone learned it well without Jiang Yue's reminder.
After being so willful, Du Yifeng almost had a luxurious second trip to the gate of hell. Who would dare to commit suicide?
The shocked people stayed on the slope for a while. After everyone calmed down, Jiang Yue proposed to continue on their way.
"Jiang Yue, the way we came is gone. Which direction should we go now?" Xu Chunru asked.
These people are basically in a helpless state now. Except for Jiang Yue who can make up his mind, no one else can count on them at all.
Even the most self-righteous Du Yifeng, after being severely beaten by reality, completely lost his previous rather inflated mentality.
Jiang Yue looked around and said, "Previously we walked along the upstream but couldn't find a way out. This time we'll walk along the downstream to see what happens."
“What if it’s still the same downstream?”
"Then we can only go to the other side of the stream." Jiang Yue looked towards the other side of the stream with complex eyes.
If the situation forced him, he really didn't want to cross this stream. Although the stream is really not wide, the distance of two to three meters does not seem to be a problem for them at all.
But a series of so many strange events made Jiang Yue a little more wary of the stream.
Dense forests and rivers are more likely to harbor uncertain factors than flat land.
"Everyone move, watch your steps, don't get too close to the water." Jiang Yue reminded him from time to time.
Going downstream, the situation seems to be similar. All the way down, this stream is like the long flow of time, with no end in sight and no end.
Even the scenes along the way are similar.
It's a road that doesn't look very winding, but it seems to be walking in a strange whirlpool space. It feels like walking on an endless spiral staircase with no end at all.
Time passed by minute by second, and the steps of several people unconsciously became heavier due to their depressed mood.
Yu Siyuan was the first to cry out because he couldn't bear it any longer.
"I can't get out, I really can't get out. Why do I feel like this road will never end?" Yu Siyuan squatted down depressedly, holding his head in his hands, his face buried between his thighs, his shoulders shaking slightly, A slight sob escaped.
It can be seen that her mentality has indeed collapsed.
Xu Chunru came forward, knelt down next to her, held her shoulders, comforted her in a low voice, cheered her up, and signaled her to cheer up.
Du Yifeng felt anxious: "Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. Are your women's tears so worthless? Is crying useless at this time?"
When Xu Chunru heard this, she got angry on the spot: "Du Yifeng, what are you talking about? In what way are we women inferior to you men? If you shed a few tears and let go of your emotions, who will be in the way?"
"Who is it in the way? Who do you think it is in the way? It makes the team upset. Do you think it is in the way of everyone?" Du Yifeng was not polite.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Just now you lost your composure and almost pushed everyone to hell. Now you still have the nerve to dislike others and make the team upset?"
Xu Chunru is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With her temperament, others respect her as much as she respects them.
She will not be polite to anyone who tries to lose her face.
Han Jingjing stood coldly next to Jiang Yue and whispered: "You don't want to persuade them? How long has it been? Are you still thinking about bickering?"
Logically speaking, Jiang Yue should have come to the rescue at this time, or even shut them all up.
But he didn't do that. If they want to quarrel, let them quarrel.
There are so many negative emotions accumulated, it’s good to release them appropriately. Otherwise, if we hold it in like this, we don’t know what big trouble the next collapse will cause.
Du Yifeng lost his temper and attacked the giant tree before, causing such a big noise. This was a scar that Du Yifeng was deeply ashamed of and unwilling to mention.
At this time, when Xu Chunru exposed her shortcomings, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and became angry, becoming even more angry.
"Sister Ru, don't blame me, Mr. Du, for speaking badly. I didn't invite you to join my team. You could have waited for me and Jiang Yue at the B&B before. This is the agreement between Jiang Yue and I. The so-called Did you force this team together?"
Han Jingjing originally didn't want to participate in their war of words, but Du Yifeng's words dragged her into it.
"Du Yifeng, I'm warning you, if you quarrel, don't drag me into it."
Du Yifeng snorted coldly, feeling displeased.
But facing Han Jingjing, he really didn't have the confidence to face Xu Chunru.
The relationship between Xu Chunru and him was only a generational friendship, and their respective families had similar statuses. No one was afraid of the other, and no one needed to support the other.
Usually they are laughing and joking, calling each other "brother" and "sister", but the affectionate energy is mostly for the occasion. We are really reaching a critical juncture.
That's still everyone's position.
But Han Jingjing is different.
At the moment, Jiang Yue is Han Jingjing's supporter, and Han Jingjing cannot be offended by anyone. He had no doubt that if there was a conflict between him and Han Jingjing, Jiang Yue would definitely choose Han Jingjing.
Maybe when the critical moment comes, he and Du will be sacrificed directly.
As for how to explain when going out?
At most it's just a refund. What can the Du family do to Jiang Yue? I'm just afraid it's enough.
Regardless of whether he is strong enough or not, the Du family may not necessarily win over Jiang Yue in terms of who has the thicker thigh behind him.
Besides, they only promised to try their best to protect him, but they didn't say that they would protect his life 100%.
As for the outside world, Han Jingjing's backer is the Lord in charge of Star City, so she can't afford to offend him. An existence that can crush the Du family in minutes.
Fortunately, at this time, Yu Siyuan's mood slowly stabilized.
Wiping the corners of his eyes, he stood up firmly.
"Sister Ru, I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I promise you that I will never shed tears in the future, and I will never hold you back!" Yu Siyuan's tone was a bit more stubborn. I don't know if it was because of it or not. Stimulated by Du Yifeng's words.
"What's holding you back? It doesn't matter who is holding you back!" Xu Chunru was obviously still angry at Du Yifeng for speaking out.
Jiang Yue saw that their negative emotions had almost been released.
Smiling faintly: "You still have the energy to quarrel. At least it proves that you are not tired enough. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It is not necessarily a bad thing to release your emotions."
The people who were quarreling were all blushing, their eyes were evasive, and they did not dare to face Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, what Siyuan just said is right. This road feels like it has no end at all. Don't you feel that we are just spinning around in the same place?"
The jungle tour only covers a total of more than 100 acres, whether it is square or circular, or some strange terrain.
After walking along this stream for so long, they walked at least several kilometers. If they could cross it, they would have crossed it back and forth at least several times.
"If it was going in a circle, we should have walked back to the boulders. I don't think it's going in a circle, but rather like we are in an endless spiral staircase space that will never end."
It's easy to run around in the same place. At least in everyone's opinion, you can find a way to get out of the circle.
Just like what Jiang Yue described, it's called a mystery. What is an endless spiral staircase?
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the further you go, the deeper you sink and the farther you are from the way out?
"We're not really going to be trapped in this hellish place, are we?"
"Go back." Jiang Yue made a decision resolutely.
Du Yifeng couldn't help but ask: "It will go upstream now and downstream next time. It's not the best way to go on like this blindly."
"What's your opinion?" Jiang Yue asked calmly without getting angry.
Du Yifeng had always been angry, but he couldn't bear to get angry with Jiang Yue.
"Then let's go, I didn't shed any tears anyway." Du Yifeng said angrily.
Jiang Yue winked at Xu Chunru and asked them to go back too.
Xu Chunru said: "Jiang Yue, I can rest assured that you can make up your mind. You tell me which way to go, and Siyuan and I will obey your instructions."
Han Jingjing echoed: "If it weren't for Jiang Yue, we people would have been completely cold."
The two girls, who had been competing with each other before, now formed a tacit alliance on this issue and jointly targeted Du Yifeng.
Oh, woman!
Du Yifeng curled his lips, knowing that too much words would lead to mistakes. If you use venomous words at this time, you may be attacked by a few girls, so it's better to say less.
He was not a fool. He knew that what he said just now might have offended Jiang Yue, and the situation was pressing, so he had to say: "Jiang Yue, don't worry, those words I just said were not directed at you."
"I know." Jiang Yue nodded.
His mind was indeed not on these meaningless verbal disputes. His eyes were wandering around, trying to find some different clues and some clues.
One thing he was now sure of was that he had never seen these plants along the stream in the outside world before.
"There must have been a mutation in this place. This is no longer the original tourism project. We must not fall into the previous logic. We must jump out and use a new way of thinking to evaluate the situation." Jiang Yue thought in his mind as he walked.
Nearly an hour later, several people retraced their steps along the stream and unknowingly returned to the slope near the previous pile of boulders.
The boulder is still the nine boulders, but there seems to be some changes?
The few people didn't know what their mentality was. Seeing these huge rocks, they all felt an inexplicable sense of security. At least, they were back in a relatively familiar scene.
Instead of walking blindly on that endless road, with no end in sight and no hope.
"Yifeng, take pictures."
Jiang Yue reminded.
Du Yifeng suddenly realized, took out his mobile phone, found the same angle as before, and took several more pictures. After taking the pictures, he took the initiative to send the mobile phone to Jiang Yue.
As Jiang Yue observed, the positions of the nine stones have indeed changed. These changes are the same as last time, and they are completely invisible from the traces on the scene.
Du Yifeng collected three long-range photos taken at three different times from the same direction to facilitate Jiang Yue's comparison and review.
Jiang Yue compared it repeatedly, but for a while he still couldn't see through the mystery here.
It seems that the position of the boulders has indeed changed, and there has been obvious movement between the arrangements. But if you look carefully, there seems to be no order change between the boulders.
"I understand, I understand!"
Jiang Yue suddenly stood up, walked to where Du Yifeng was taking pictures, and observed it for a while.
"The order of these boulders has not been changed. It's just that one boulder has moved in a direction, and the other boulders have moved in the same direction, so the photos taken from the same angle are completely different."
This principle is not difficult to understand. To put it bluntly, it is like a person standing next to a Ferris wheel and taking photos of the Ferris wheel. Standing in the same position and taking three photos, because the Ferris wheel keeps turning, the same angle is taken every time. , the content captured must be different.
Every box in the Ferris wheel is similar, so the difference may not be particularly big.
But the shapes of these stones are different, so the three photos look very different.
Others heard Jiang Yue's explanation and after a little imagination, they understood what Jiang Yue meant.
But understanding the meaning is one thing, but how to explain this phenomenon?
Could it be that these boulders can still move on their own?
"Jiang Yue, I seem to understand what you are talking about, but when I think about it carefully, I feel something is wrong. According to your statement, are these boulders moving on their own? If they are really moving, we have no reason to Can’t you see it? Moreover, these boulders are so big that they look like they are deeply embedded in the soil. If they move by themselves, there won’t be no movement at all, right?”
Jiang Yue had been thinking about this issue before, but at this moment, he gradually made some bold guesses.
He walked slowly around the boulder, lowering his head, as if there was something big in the grass.
After a long time, Jiang Yue thrust the engineer shovel into the ground.
"Look, what's the difference between the two sides of my engineer shovel?"
Several people quickly went over to take a look. They were all covered with dense grass and green. At first glance, they saw that it was naturally green, and there was no difference at all.
Han Jingjing squatted down and looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "I can see that these two kinds of grass are different. The grass here is wider, and the grass here is narrower and sharper? One has flatter texture, and the other has more texture. It’s more slanted. Do you think it’s right?”
In fact, width and narrowness are really just relative terms, and the difference is really not that big.
But after Han Jingjing came out like this, it turned out to be true.
Jiang Yue nodded and said, "You guys should walk along this line again and take a look."
With the prompt, everyone immediately discovered that there was indeed such a line around these boulders, forming an encirclement that divided the inside and outside.
The inside and outside are completely invisible to the naked eye.
The difference between the inside and outside is just a little bit different in the grass leaves.
Jiang Yue marked it with an engineer shovel, and the outline of the circle suddenly became clear.
The boulder in this circle is about a circle with a diameter of about seven or eight meters.
"Jiang Yue, what does this mean? Do you understand?"
"I can't tell you exactly what it means. But you see, the position where Du Yifeng took the photo is exactly one or two meters outside the circle."
"So what?"
"Try to think about it, imagine that everything in this circle is the planet Gaia, and the place where the photo was taken is in outer space. Then, if the planet Gaia keeps rotating..."
With this analogy, several people suddenly became enlightened and their minds became much clearer.
