Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 57

The echo of the gunshots drifted over the woods, and it took a long time for the woods to regain peace.

"Why are there gunshots? Are you sure we didn't go wrong?" Tong Lele looked at Lei Lanting nervously, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Lei Lanting raised his hand and looked at the simple compass on his watch: "We've been walking towards the northeast, the direction must be right." He forced a smile and comforted Tong Lele, "Maybe someone is hunting here. Let's go quickly. , I'll be at ease when I arrive early."

Dong Qiangqiang looked ahead of the road: "What is after passing through the woods? How far do you estimate it is?"

"We walked for about half an hour, according to my last route," Lei Lanting took out a piece of crumpled paper from the inner pocket of his jacket, opened it and looked at it, "There should be a river in front, crossing the river. It will be a lot better after that. The distance is really not good for me." His tone sounded normal.

Dong Qiangqiang picked up a long thick branch from the ground, cut off some extra branches, and handed it to Tong Lele: "You can use this, it will be easier to walk."

Tong Lele wiped the sweat from his face, nodded, and reached for the tree stick.

The three of them continued to move forward, and from time to time there was the sound of cooing birds and the soft chirping of animals.Everyone had their own concerns, no one said a word, the atmosphere was a little dignified, only the footsteps of the three of them and the clack of the shoes when they stepped on the branches on the ground were heard.

At some point in the sky, a large cloud floated, blocking the sun's rays.The light in the forest suddenly dimmed, as if it were evening.

After passing around a tree, Tong Lele was about to carefully walk down the slope in front of him, when he suddenly heard Dong Qiangqiang behind him say "Huh", she was about to turn around to ask, when suddenly her feet crooked, and she saw that people were about to get off the slope. fall.She immediately let out an exclamation. Lei Lanting, who was walking in front of her, didn't know what was going on behind her, so she turned around quickly. Dong Qiangqiang, who was behind her, took a step forward and grabbed her right arm and held her tightly. He didn't fall completely under the soil slope, but he still slipped heavily on the soil slope.

The thorns on the tree stick immediately cut through her palm, and clumps of blood flowed out.Seeing this, Lei Lanting quickly took out a tissue, and Dong Qiangqiang also took out a Band-Aid from his carry-on bag and put it on her.

"You still wear a Band-Aid when you go out?" Lei Lanting looked surprised.

"Well, I often hurt my hand, so I'm used to carrying it with me." Dong Qiangqiang explained.

"Good habit." Lei Lanting nodded, turned his head and glanced at Tong Lele: "How are your feet? Can you still walk?"

"What kind of broken road did you get?" Tong Lele glanced at Lei Lanting angrily, then looked up at Dong Qiangqiang, and said resentfully, "My feet hurt."

Knowing that she was wronged, Lei Lanting squatted in front of her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not picking a good path. It hurt Lele. I should be punished." After speaking, he Lightly slapped himself twice.

"Old Lei," Dong Qiangqiang stood on the dirt slope and looked at the surrounding environment, "We seem to be spinning in circles."

"What?" The other two raised their heads in shock at the same time and asked in unison.

"Well, we seem to have walked through this forest just now." Dong Qiangqiang looked around.

"Don't be funny, how is that possible?" Lei Lanting said while looking at the compass on his watch, "Look, this needle still points to the northeast, it hasn't changed."

Dong Qiangqiang didn't speak, raised his finger and pointed to a tree in front of him and said, "Look there."

Tong Lele and Lei Lanting followed his fingers and saw trees all around.Lei Lanting asked suspiciously, "Where do you want us to look?"

Dong Qiangqiang didn't speak, he ran two steps, stood under a tree, raised his finger to the trunk and said, "Here."

The two followed his fingers and saw what appeared to be an arrow roughly carved into the tree.

Lei Lanting walked slowly under the tree and looked up at the arrow: "What is this?"

"The road sign I made just now." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the two of them, "I thought I might still take this road when I came back, so I thought about making a mark so that I can walk a little longer when I come back."

Hearing this sentence, Tong Lele nervously stood up with the tree stick in his hands, and looked at Lei Lanting intently.

Lei Lanting was silent for a while, then looked at the watch and muttered to himself, "Impossible, the hands on this watch... have never changed..."

Dong Qiangqiang raised Lei Lanting's arm and changed the direction of the watch left and right, but no matter how he changed it, the hands were firmly locked in the northeast direction.

"Damn it." Lei Lanting sat down on the ground and grabbed his hair with his fingers, "I'm so stupid."

Tong Lele also understood what was going on at this time, she asked in a trembling voice, "Are we... lost?"

Dong Qiangqiang shook his head: "We may have taken the wrong way, but we can't say we got lost."

Hearing this, Lei Lanting raised his head quickly: "Do you still have an extra compass on your body?"

Just as a few people were talking, the sun came out from behind the clouds again, and the sun shone into the woods again.

"That's not true, but," said Dong Qiangqiang, taking a few steps forward and standing on a place with sparse leaves above his head. The sun shone on him and cast his shadow on the ground. "Germany is in the northern hemisphere, during the daytime 12 At noon, the sun is generally in the south direction. Now it is after one o’clock at noon, and the position of the sun should start to be southwest. As long as we are optimistic about the position of the sun and go in the opposite direction, we should be able to walk to the villa.”

"Yeah." Lei Lanting jumped up, "You still know a lot. Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just remembered too. Besides, the sun was in the clouds just now."

Hearing that he didn't get lost, Tong Lele breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. I don't want to spend any more time here."

"Yes, hurry up, hurry up." Lei Lanting said as he touched Tong Lele's arm.Tong Lele opened his hand and rolled his eyes at him: "look at others, then look at you. You don't have any knowledge of geography."

"This is obviously natural knowledge," Lei Lanting whispered, "What's the matter with geography?"

"Still talking back." Tong Lele made a gesture to hit Lei Lanting.Lei Lanting wanted to run but was afraid that Tong Lele would fall, so he closed his eyes and frowned and stood motionless on the ground.Tong Lele glanced at him and walked over in front of him.

Lei Lanting was still waiting for the slap, but he didn't move for a long time. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Fight fast, or it will be too late."

Dong Qiangqiang's voice came from behind: "Lao Lei, hurry up and follow."

Lei Lanting turned back quickly, seeing that the two had walked a long way, and hurriedly chased after them.

After a small episode, the three of them started talking and laughing again.

After walking for a few more minutes, Tong Lele suddenly shouted excitedly: "Hey, listen to you, there seems to be the sound of water in front of you."
