Just when he was ready to fight, something unexpected happened to him.
What came out from behind a patch of weeds half as tall as a man was not a wild boar or other beast, but a living person.
And it was a woman he knew.
It's just that the other person is much thinner than the last time he saw her. The light makeup did not hide the haggard look on her eyebrows, making her look a little older. She is very similar to Lu Wei who had just been imprisoned.
Their eyes met, the two recognized each other almost at the same time, and asked in unison.
"Why are you?" She asked first in a hoarse voice.
"My friends and I came here to hunt." Dong Qiangqiang, who was a little slow, had to answer the other party's question first, "Why are you here?"
"Do you... know each other?" Lei Lanting, who was lying on the branch with a graceful figure, saw that it was not a beast, so he hugged the trunk like a large koala and slowly slid down, carefully landing on one foot. On the tree, "Was that you just now? Why did you run when I called you?"
Wu Xiaoxi looked at Dong Qiangqiang helplessly and asked, "Who is he?"
Lei Lanting leaned forward and stretched out his right hand: "This beauty looks so strange. What should I call her? My name is Lei Lanting."
"Hello, Wu Xiaoxi." Her voice sounded a little timid. She wondered if she was frightened by the animal trap on Lei Lanting's leg.
"Oh, are you Wu Xiaoxi?" Lei Lanting remembered the name instantly, turned around and asked Dong Qiangqiang in a low voice, "She is the one who bumped into you when you were learning to drive..."
Although Lei Lanting's voice was very soft, Wu Xiaoxi's face suddenly turned red. She quickly turned her head and tried to put her hands in her pockets but failed and could only retract them into her sleeves.
"Why did you come to such a remote place alone?" Dong Qiangqiang asked curiously, "It's not safe here. Is anyone coming with you?"
"I..." Hearing Dong Qiangqiang's question, Wu Xiaoxi suddenly started to hesitate and hesitated, but his eyes glanced in the direction of the animal trap intentionally or unintentionally, as if there was something unspeakable.
Luke's forest is not a scenic spot, there are no places of interest nearby, and there are very few buses. It feels extremely strange for a thin girl Wu Xiaoxi to appear here. Seeing that she didn't answer the question directly, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly thought about it and asked: "Is that clip yours?"
This question seemed to make Wu Xiaoxi very flustered. An expression of uneasiness and guilt suddenly appeared on her face. After nodding mechanically and confusedly, she immediately shook her head like a rattle.
Dong Qiangqiang really didn't believe that Wu Xiaoxi could have the strength and thought to set up a trap, and couldn't help but doubt: "Can you pull this off?"
"That's not mine." She lowered her head and muttered.
"Did someone you know inflict it?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Boyfriend?"
Wu Xiaoxi finally nodded this time, but immediately defended: "They said this is a wild forest and no one will come to play, so..."
As soon as the word "they" was spoken, Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting looked at each other tacitly. Dong Qiangqiang asked: "What is your boyfriend's name?"
Wu Xiaoxi was silent for a while.
Dong Qiangqiang was about to ask further questions when his phone vibrated again. Just as he was about to answer the call, his phone vibrated once and then stopped. While calling back, he took out his whistle and blew it twice. A group of dusk crows flew up from above their heads and flew towards the dim skyline.
"Don't wait for him, let's go out first." Lei Lanting weakly pointed to his injured leg and said.
Lao Bai's cell phone was busy at first, and then the voice prompt changed to "Powered off."
"It's really weird, Lao Bai's phone call couldn't be reached in just these two seconds." Dong Qiangqiang said in confusion, "Then let's go out first, and I'll..."
Before he could say the word "fight", he heard a loud shout coming from all directions. Because there were trees and weeds all around, it was difficult for the three of them to identify the direction of the sound.
A black mass of birds flew over the heads of the three people. When the bird's tail passed over the top of the tree, it seemed to pull up a large net in the sky, and the originally bright sky suddenly darkened.
Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting could both recognize that it was Lao Bai's voice.
"I'll go!" Lei Lanting glanced at Dong Qiangqiang in surprise, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "Old Bai?!"
"Don't make a sound!" Dong Qiangqiang, who heard two screams in less than an hour, still remained calm and lowered his voice to remind, "Listen carefully!"
"No way?" Lei Lanting couldn't help but feel palpitations. He looked around cautiously and said with a trembling voice, "If the wild boar is really coming, then let's go up the tree first? Otherwise, if we hit each other head on, both of you will run away. No, I have no chance..."
"The sound sounds like it's still some distance away from here," Dong Qiangqiang said as he pried off a thick branch from the nearby tree, took out the dagger Du Lan gave him from his backpack, and divided it by three times and five times to make a pointed tip. Head spear.
"Here." Dong Qiangqiang handed the spear to Lei Lanting and started to make the second one.
"Old Dong, what are you doing?" Lei Lanting was confused by his actions, "Are you going to fight a wild boar?"
"We have been guarding here all afternoon. There are animal traps and bait here, but we haven't seen even a single pig hair. I think there are no wild boars here." Dong Qiangqiang moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye he made the second spear and handed it to him. He walked to Wu Xiaoxi and started to make the third one, "It will get dark soon now. If we go up the tree at this time, we will have to spend the night in the forest, which will be more dangerous. I don't know what Lao Bai encountered, we have to find him as soon as possible. And just now When I heard your shout and came to look for you, Lao Bai didn't stop me."
"But..." Lei Lanting was at a loss for words and seemed very reluctant, "If I encounter a wild boar, it will be too dangerous for me. You can't sacrifice me to save Lao Bai! I think you should call the police quickly..."
Dong Qiangqiang was about to dial again, but found that his cell phone had lost signal unknowingly.
"I don't have a signal, where are you two?" Dong Qiangqiang also finished the third spear.
The same goes for Lei Lanting and Wu Xiaoxi's mobile phones.
Dong Qiangqiang carefully pushed aside a patch of weeds with the tip of his spear and cautiously walked forward.
"Hey, wait for me." Lei Lanting was about to step forward when he heard Dong Qiangqiang's instructions, "Let her go in the middle, and you take the back."
"Old Dong, I don't object to you picking up girls, but can you pick a good time?" Lei Lanting said angrily, "Now I am a wounded person..."
"Um... I have to tell you something first," Wu Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, pointed at the weeds in front of Dong Qiangqiang and whispered, "over there... there is this kind of clip."
"How many did you release in total?" Dong Qiangqiang looked back at Wu Xiaoxi and asked in surprise.
"Five..." Wu Xiaoxi thought for a few seconds after finishing speaking, "No, six."
"So many?" Lei Lanting took a breath, "You are a really expensive friend."
"Well, in addition... there are other traps." Wu Xiaoxi continued, "But there are marks on the trees next to the traps. If you see them, you can avoid them."
"Trap?" Lei Lanting was dumbfounded. He had been to this forest many times and had never noticed anything Wu Xiaoxi mentioned. "Is there anything else you can tell me all at once?"
"Ah!" Wu Xiaoxi covered her mouth and screamed.
"Can't you be so startled?" Lei Lanting said depressedly, "You can scare anyone to death if you are timid..."
"No, over there..." Wu Xiaoxi pointed to the right front of the three of them and said, "There seems to be someone..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Lanting's whole body trembled, and he involuntarily shrank behind Wu Xiaoxi. He looked around and asked, "Where is it?"
Dong Qiangqiang held a dagger in his right hand and a spear in his left hand. He used the tip of the spear to gently push aside the swaying low green plants. He saw a human foot hanging out among the swaying bushes.
It's exactly what Lao Bai is wearing.
Lei Lanting felt that everything was completely silent for a moment, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind: Lao Bai is dead!
