"XX" is the abbreviation of Xu Xia's name, which is also a signal of her appointment with Leng Zirui.
“Remember, the symbol must be both concealed and obvious.”
"How is that possible? It's both hidden and obvious. Isn't this a contradiction?"
"Concealment here means that you have to use things at hand, things that are the same as the environment you are in to mark it. For example, if you are in a room, you can put down two overlapping matches, or if you are in the wild, you can use branches or vines.
As material... In this way, I can tell it's you, but others don't know it's a signal."
"Then can you tell?"
"Don't worry, didn't I say that as long as you are still on the earth and have not gone to the black hole in outer space, my husband, I will definitely find you back. All you have to do is, before I find you, try your best to
protect yourself."
…
Thinking of the conversation between Leng Zirui and her, Xu Xia looked at the overlapping branches on the ground, and her heart was immediately filled with hope and strength.
"Husband, you must find me!"
Xu Xiashen broke off the branch and held it in his hand, holding the pistol tightly in the other hand. Xu Xiashen walked forward one foot at a time.
It was definitely not an easy task to trek through the rainforest under the gloomy sky and humid and sultry weather. After walking a few words, Xu Xia was already thirsty and hungry.
According to what Leng Zirui had instructed her before, she carefully selected the rainwater on the clean leaves, barely quenched her thirst, and looked for food to eat while walking forward.
"Why does this place look familiar?"
Xu Xia looked at the big tree in front of her, gasped and stopped, her eyes touched the branches she placed on the ground, and she immediately put her hand on her forehead - after turning around in such a big circle, she actually walked back to the same place.
After swearing a curse word, Xu Xia sat down on a branch dejectedly.
…
"No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, don't give up. Don't forget that you have a husband. Do you want me to live by my own hands for the rest of my life?"
…
His voice sounded in his mind again, Xu Xia stood up again and pinched a leaf.
"Husband, protect me!" The leaves fell again, this time, the petiole pointed in another direction, "This time, I will not go wrong, Xu Xia, come on, your husband is Leng Zirui, you can't embarrass him!"
In order not to take detours, this time she kept moving forward. When she encountered a ditch, she jumped over it. When she encountered a steep slope that was difficult to walk, she climbed up and tried not to take a detour. She always kept moving forward as much as possible, crawling and rolling.
Moving forward, she was soon covered in mud, but luckily, when she climbed up a slope again, she could vaguely see a corner of the wooden house through a forest.
"Sure enough, our Zi Rui works best."
Xu Xia was excited. She was already very tired, but she suddenly became full of strength and immediately ran towards the wooden house. However, when she got closer, she noticed that only half of the wooden house was left, and the other half had been destroyed.
It was destroyed by a mudslide, and the remaining half was severely damaged and abandoned long ago. There was no way anyone could still be there, let alone the possibility of her finding food.
"Damn, Leng Zirui, you're kidding me!" Xu Xia crawled to a dry place under the porch of the wooden house and sat down in despair, "Even you gave me the wrong direction."
Not far away, there was suddenly a chaotic sound. Xu Xia was startled. She hurriedly clenched the gun in her hand, stood up, carefully hid under the wall of the wooden house, and stuck her head out to peek.
