In the mountain road, Chu Feng was muttering to himself alone, his expression even more gloomy, as if he was trapped in some kind of self-doubt.
Just at that moment, for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt Luo Ling'er's aura from Zheng Qingqing. The feeling was extremely strong. Except for the different appearance, it was almost Ling'er himself.
In fact, if it were anyone else, he would still have doubts, maybe he just misunderstood for a moment. However, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Ling'er. The strong emotional connection deep in the soul could never be fake.
"Why is this happening? Are all my previous guesses true and I am not reborn at all? But, if that is the case, then what is going on in this living world? Mom, Dad, is my little sister fake?
And Zheng Qingqing, a woman who is a complete stranger, why is she associated with Ling'er?"
Doubts followed one after another, as if endless mysteries surrounded him, and it was impossible to solve them.
After a while, Chu Feng returned again carrying a bucket.
At this time, his heart felt a little calmer. Since he couldn't figure it out, he had to put it aside for the time being.
"Brother, are you going to fetch water?" The younger sister had already left the tent and saw the bucket in his hand, so she took the initiative to say hello.
"The mountain spring water here is very clean, go and wash your face." Chu Feng nodded, and then put the bucket aside.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Chu Xue thanked her, then took the plastic basin and started washing up.
The commotion outside gradually alarmed the girls, and after a while they all walked out of the tent one after another. Although they didn't wear much makeup, they did not have a lively and seductive feeling.
"What are your plans for today?"
After simply having breakfast, Zheng Qingqing suddenly asked.
Chu Feng suppressed the strong fluctuations deep in his heart and took a deep look at the other party. The strange thing was that although the other party at this time was very similar to Ling'er, he didn't seem to remember him. This made him
Even more confused.
"Aren't you going to go back to work?"
Zheng Qingqing is currently the general person in charge and the helmsman of Xinyang Pharmaceutical. She has countless tasks every day, and there is no room for wasting too much time.
"Why do you want me to leave so much?" Zheng Qingqing did not answer, but asked with a smile.
"Xinyang Pharmaceutical is still in the development stage, and it will definitely not be able to do it without you."
"I regret a little now. If I had known earlier, I would not have agreed to your and grandpa's idea. But it turned out to be a good thing. I was completely trapped." Zheng Qingqing sighed.
The other party was right, she really didn't have much free time. She was able to squeeze out a day yesterday, which was considered as her best effort. If she didn't go back, I'm afraid a lot of work would be messed up.
"Qingqing, can I stay? Considering my situation, it doesn't matter if I don't go back." Zhou Xiaoling asked in a low voice.
"No, you have to go with me. Otherwise, don't count on this month's salary and bonus."
"Ah, you, a cruel capitalist, do you need to exploit poor people like me? It's so inhumane."
Zhou Xiaoling complained strongly, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had no choice but to give in.
After a while, after saying goodbye to everyone, Zheng Qingqing left with Zhou Xiaoling, who was full of grievances. Of course, Chu Feng still had to follow. There was still some distance to the scenic spot, so it would be impossible without his escort.
"Let's just stop here, we can handle the rest of the journey by ourselves." Zheng Qingqing suddenly stopped and said after seeing the buildings in the scenic spot.
"Okay, please be safe on the road."
Chu Feng smiled and then said goodbye.
Watching the other party gradually walk away, at this time, his face no longer had a smile, but showed a trace of unspeakable complexity. There was doubt and even more reluctance.
…
"Brother, Sister Zheng and the others are gone?"
"What, you don't want them to leave?"
Seeing the look on his sister's face, Chu Feng couldn't help but be curious.
"It's fun when there are many people, but now there are suddenly two missing, and I always feel a little awkward." Chu Xue didn't hide anything and replied directly.
"You, you just want to have fun." He thought it was for other reasons, but he didn't expect it to be this. Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, everyone is ready. Next is the time to test everyone's will."
There are two main goals for coming out this time, one is to climb the mountain, and the second is to camp in the wild. The latter has been tried in advance, but on the contrary, the mountain climbing has not started yet.
"Should we set off now?" Chu Xue was not afraid, looking at the tall mountain peaks in the distance, a little eager to try.
"Wait a little longer." Chu Feng shook his head slightly,
"The dew is heavy now and the roads are slippery, making it too dangerous. However, from now on, you have to start preparing. In particular, pay attention to sun protection and heatstroke prevention."
After explaining some precautions, Chu Feng left alone. It was not easy to climb to the top of Wolong Ridge, and he also needed to make some preparations.
On the other side, the three Ai Yu sisters suddenly looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes opened. There was a hint of strange color in their eyes that was difficult to detect.
"It's almost time. Everyone, bring your things and we'll set off immediately." After a while, Chu Feng looked at his watch, nodded slightly, and then called to the women.
…
The highest altitude of Wolong Ridge is over 1,000 meters. The outside is fine, but the terrain in the depths is extremely complicated. If you are not familiar with this place and climb rashly, you will most likely get lost halfway.
This naturally does not trouble Chu Feng. He was a frequent visitor here when he was a child, and he climbed to the top of the mountain with his companions more than once, so he is naturally very familiar with the journey.
"Phew - I'm so tired. I didn't expect climbing a mountain to be so difficult. My legs don't work anymore."
After walking less than a third of the way, Chu Xue could no longer hold on, and felt indescribably uncomfortable all over her body. On the contrary, although the three sisters of the Ai family looked equally delicate, they all had expressions on their faces.
Relaxed and not tired at all.
"You are like this because you lack exercise in daily life." Ai Le turned around and said with a smile.
"I was just like you in the past. I was very weak and couldn't walk for a long time. It was only later that I started to exercise a lot, and then I gradually adapted to it."
"I didn't expect this." Chu Xue was a little embarrassed, feeling that she was so useless and was holding everyone back.
Although Chu Feng was walking at the front of the team, his mind was always focused on what was behind him. Especially the little sister, who glanced back from time to time.
He couldn't hide the other party's every move. At this time, seeing the other party's condition, he couldn't help but shook his head in amusement. Without hesitation, he immediately walked over.
"When we set out, we were full of energy and confidence. Do we have to back down now?"
"Brother, I'm sorry." Chu Xue also blamed herself, then she straightened her mind and encouraged herself,
"Don't worry, I will stick to it."
"Yes, very brave." Chu Feng nodded slightly, then gently pressed several parts of the opponent's body, and then said,
"Hold on for a while longer. Once you reach the top of the mountain, you will have enough time to take a good rest."
Chu Xue nodded blankly, but there were some doubts in her mind. What happened to my brother just now? Why did he touch her randomly?
However, she didn't pay too much attention to it. At this time, she just wanted to persevere and climb to the top of the mountain with her own perseverance.
The team set out again,
Perhaps it was the effect of psychological suggestion, but the subsequent progress went smoothly. Even Chu Xue did not stop again, and kept gritting her teeth and persisting in moving forward.
While Chu Feng was chopping dead branches and weeds in front of him, he looked back from time to time and looked behind him. When he saw his sister gritting her teeth and persisting, he couldn't help but smile.
He had touched a few special acupuncture points on the other party's body before, but it was only able to provide some relief. The other party's ability to persevere was more due to his own perseverance. This made him very happy.
"rumble--"
We were halfway through the climb, and the end point was in sight. However, at this moment, bursts of muffled thunder suddenly came from the sky.
"How come?"
Chu Feng suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sky, and his expression could not help but darken. The blue sky, which was originally clear and clear, suddenly began to darken rapidly, and within a short time, it was covered with dark clouds.
"Is it going to rain?" At this time, Ai Yu suddenly walked closer and asked, looking at the dark sky.
Chu Feng didn't answer. He was thinking about how to deal with it in his mind. The clouds were very thick, it was very likely to be heavy rain, and now we were halfway up the mountain with no connection between the top and bottom. If we didn't handle it properly, there would definitely be great danger.
.
His eyes quickly glanced in all directions, constantly recalling the memories in his mind.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something and said immediately:
"Time is urgent, everyone come with me."
As he said that, his steps suddenly turned around and walked in another direction.
Soon, the four of them were led by him to another remote place. When they looked up, they saw a small stone cave with a diameter of about one meter on the mountain wall not far ahead.
"Cave! So small!" Chu Xue was slightly surprised, then looked at her brother.
"It's just that the entrance is a little smaller, but it's still very spacious inside." Chu Feng explained, and then said,
"Heavy rain may fall at any time. Let's take shelter in the cave first."
The interior of the cave is indeed very spacious, but it is only relatively speaking, it is about the same as a bedroom. It is still a bit crowded when five people enter together.
Fortunately, the environment inside the cave is good, and there is nothing dirty. Moreover, the shape of the cave entrance is very clever, and it is recessed inward. This makes it difficult to enter even if it rains.
"Boom - boom -"
At this moment, thunder sounded again, followed by heavy rain, as if the whole world was covered by a rain curtain.
"I've never seen such heavy rain before?"
At the entrance of the cave, Chu Xue came closer. Because the entrance of the cave was too small, she had to sit down next to each other, looking at the rain curtain outside the cave, and couldn't help but marvel.
When she came out, she only brought a flashlight, which was turned off at this time, so it was pitch dark inside the cave. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she had to approach the brother at the entrance of the cave.
"It's really big."
Chu Feng looked outside the cave, his eyes full of doubts. From the beginning, he always felt that the rain was coming out of nowhere. The weather forecast clearly said that it was sunny today, so how could it suddenly rain heavily? Moreover, this rain
The rain was so heavy and fast that it seemed like a river was pouring out.
"I hope it won't last too long, otherwise it will definitely cause disaster."
He was not exaggerating on this point. With the current rainfall, if it lasted longer, flash floods, mudslides, etc. would most likely occur, and there would be many more variables on the way down the mountain for these people.
However, bad things always seem to come true. The heavy rain started at noon and continued until the evening without abating at all.
Until the sky gradually darkened, Chu Feng's expression became uncertain, which was really beyond his expectation.
"Call your family, don't talk about the situation here, let them feel at ease." Chu Feng turned to look at his sister and ordered.
"I know."
Chu Xue nodded and immediately started to make a call. The Ai sisters on the side did not hesitate and also began to report to their families that they were safe. Several people said in unison that they were staying in a hotel at the foot of the mountain and could not go back for the time being, so there was no need to worry too much.
Too worried.
"If this continues, we may be completely trapped here."
Suddenly, Ai Yu suddenly stood up, came close to him, and slowly sat down. In an instant, a faint fragrance spread into his mouth and nose, which made Chu Feng look slightly startled. He looked at the other party inadvertently, and through the hazy light, he faintly
You can see the other party's crystal white collarbone.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Ai Yu at this time was very different from before. His features were as pure and pure as the ice and snow in the cold winter. However, his every move exuded the ultimate charm, as if burning.
The flames. The two different temperaments are mixed together. Not only do they not appear abrupt, but they complement each other, blending in and out, making people feel soul-stirring in a trance.
"According to common sense, this kind of thunderstorm should not last too long." Chu Feng recovered his mind and replied immediately.
"Yes, thunderstorms won't last long." Ai Yu's eyes flashed, he agreed, and then said,
"We don't carry many things with us. If the heavy rain lasts for too long, it will be really miserable."
Chu Feng nodded in agreement. Everyone's materials and equipment were still left in the cave at the foot of the mountain. They only brought some ordinary tools and drinking water with them.
Time passed slowly, and the rain continued unabated until late at night.
Chu Feng's judgment was wrong again. At this time, his heart was extremely solemn. Such heavy rainfall has lasted for nearly ten hours and is still continuing now. It is really incredible.
Although the water and soil in Wolong Ridge have recovered somewhat in recent years, the overall situation is still not very good. With such a heavy rain, the entire mountain range may become dangerous.
"Gugu——"
A slight noise interrupted his contemplation. He turned around and saw that it was his little sister. The other party was a little embarrassed and whispered:
"Brother, it's okay. I'm not very hungry yet."
Only then did Chu Feng realize that half a day had passed since he climbed the mountain in the morning. He had hardly eaten anything except breakfast, and he must be very hungry now.
Not only that, I'm afraid some other physiological activities also exist. However, several of them are girls. Facing him as a grown man, there is no way to solve it and can only choose to endure it.
"I'm going out to find something to eat. I won't be back in a short time." He leaned down and planned to walk out of the cave.
"How can that be done? It's raining so hard outside, it's too dangerous." It was Ai Yu who spoke, not just her, but several other women of similar backgrounds stopped her.
"Don't worry, since I dare to go out, I must be well aware of it." Chu Feng turned around and reassured, and without waiting for others to persuade him, he stepped out of the cave entrance and gradually disappeared into the rain.
