Considering that Li Yuanba will definitely use all his people to search the road leading directly to the outside of the mountain after he finds out that they are missing, Gu Qing planned early in the morning to go west via a deep mountain called Luo Ze. The terrain is very complicated, with swamps, grasslands, and The primeval forest is a place that is inaccessible. Go down the mountain from there and find a road back to the city.Although it is a detour, it is the safest route.

At dawn, the dark green passing by outside the car window gradually turned into red soil dotted with scattered hay. It was a grassland, and it was still green in the deep winter.

The vegetation along the way gradually increased. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there were occasional big trees with strange shapes on the endless golden plain.In the distance, among the waist-high grass, an elk is walking slowly.And our galloping jeep startled unknown small animals on the side of the road from time to time, and jumped into the grass.This is the breath of life that is hard to see in the deep winter.

"Is anyone living here?" Hu Xiaowei has been conquered by the beautiful scenery in front of her. She feels that life here should be beautiful and peaceful.

"There must be people, but they are very few. They have almost no connection and contact with the outside world, and they live a completely self-sufficient way of life." Gu Qing drove the car intently, his eyes fixed on the front, without blinking.

"We are safe now, aren't we? Can you contact Wenfan to pick us up?" Hu Xiaowei asked.

Gu Qing's answer made Hu Xiaowei unexpected: "But we have no way to contact them now. There is no phone, no signal, and no internet here."

"Then we can only go back by ourselves? But then Wenfan will hand over Weifeng." Hu Xiaowei sat in the back seat, muttering softly...

"If he is not willing to hand over Weifeng for you, you should be sad and dejected." Gu Qing suddenly said contemptuously.

Uh... Hu Xiaowei wanted to defend herself, but found that what he said seemed to be correct, "Then shall we keep running for our lives now?"

"Yes, and it's very dangerous, you can survive it!" Although Gu Qing's tone was affirmative, she was also extremely hesitant in her heart. Hu Xiaowei's current physical condition...

Hu Xiaowei suppressed the fear in her heart, put her hands on her stomach, took a deep breath and said, "I am a strong mother now. As long as I can bring this child back safely, there is nothing I can't go through."

Gu Qing glanced at her from the rearview mirror, but didn't make a sound.

At noon, a shallow lake appeared before their eyes.A few flamingos by the lake are spreading their red wings against the warm sun.Gu Qing parked the car beside a huge lone tree by the lake.A sturdy middle-aged man stood under the tree, with several tightly stuffed large military backpacks beside him.

The man and Gu Qing packed their backpacks into the car, opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

"This is our guide Mengka. He is a native of Luo Ze. He used to be a soldier. He is very familiar with the route we are going to take. Without him, we will not be able to go out." Gu Qing introduced Hu Xiaowei.

Hu Xiaowei said to Mengka apologetically, "I'm sorry, such a dangerous thing brought you in."

Mengka cracked his thick lips and smiled: "In our business, we take people's money and do things for others. As long as the employer is willing to pay, it's not too much to lose his life. Mr. Gu paid me enough I have taken care of my son, so I will send you this trip, of course, to serve your family well."

Hu Xiaowei turned her head and said to Gu Qing with some anxiety: "How much money did you spend, I will pay you back when I go back."

He smiled mockingly: "Okay. If I am still alive when I go back, I will definitely ask you to get back what I owe me."

owe him?

What the hell is he talking about, did they really know each other before?

"Gu Qing, I don't know what you mean by that, can you explain it clearly?"

Gu Qing looked into the distance, turned around and said to Mengka: "It's getting late, shall we start?" completely ignoring Hu Xiaowei's question.

At dusk, Gu Qing stopped the car.This is the end of the day's itinerary.

The whistling cold wind that had been whistling in my ears all day finally stopped.The sun hung slantingly on the horizon, turning into a gentle round of soft red, quietly sinking into the distant horizon.A lone tree casts a lonely and amazing silhouette in the magnificent sunset.A giraffe stands in the grass in the distance, bowing its head and kissing a baby giraffe beside her.The evening wind blew the weeds on the plain, making a rhythmic sound of "hua la la, clap la la".The sound of various animals that live on this grassland is faintly carried in the wind.

Hu Xiaowei temporarily forgot the fear and exhaustion of fleeing, and immersed herself in this beautiful and intoxicating miraculous scenery.

Monka pitched the tent, and then lit a bonfire to disperse any animals that might come at night.The three sat around the campfire and started dinner.

Each person has an energy bar, a small can of luncheon meat, and a hard steamed bun.

Halfway through eating, I heard a clear rustling sound in the grass beside me.A small antelope with no horns came out from nowhere, with a cute face resembling a little deer bambi.At this moment, it is looking at people curiously with a pair of big wet eyes.

"This little guy must smell the food." Monka laughed.

Just as Hu Xiaowei reached into her can to feed it with a piece of meat, Gu Qing's voice sounded coldly: "Don't feed it! The dry food we brought is not enough for ourselves, let alone feed the animals. If you dare to feed it, I will kill it to fill my stomach."

Xiao Yang seemed to understand, and hid her head in Hu Xiaowei's arms.She hugged it and gently comforted it, frowning at Gu Qing: "If you don't feed it, then don't feed it, why are you so fierce? It can't understand your words, but it can read your expression. You scared it. "

Xiao Yang sticks out his tongue to touch her face, and then obediently sits down beside Hu Xiaowei's lap.Hu Xiaowei patted its head from time to time, fond of it.

The tyrant Gu Qing issued another order: "You can play with it, but you are not allowed to feed it with your food. There is so much grass here, it can't be hungry. We have to walk for the rest of the journey. If you can't eat enough, what can you do?" The energy keeps up with us? Besides, you don't care about the nutrition of the child..."

"Okay, okay." Hu Xiaowei interrupted him: "I didn't say I would feed it. Don't worry, I won't starve my child, and I will definitely not fall behind." Although she was frowning, but There is no annoyance in my heart.

He was thinking about the child for the sake of her body. Hu Xiaowei knew everything, so how could she be angry.This person is very similar to Liang Wenfan!

So under Gu Qing's "surveillance", Hu Xiaowei finished her food, while the lamb was still walking around her docilely, playing with her.

Not long after, the face of a big sheep with two curved horns on its head poked out from the grass and called "baa" to the lamb.The lamb immediately jumped out of Hu Xiaowei's arms, ran towards it, then looked back at her reluctantly, and then disappeared into the grass together with the big sheep.

Could this be its mother?Hu Xiaowei lowered her head and stroked her belly: Baby, after you are born, will you be attached to me like a lamb is attached to its mother?

"It's time for you to rest. Sleeping more during pregnancy is good for the baby." Gu Qing came to Hu Xiaowei's side again at some point.

Hu Xiaowei looked up at him, in the soft firelight, that handsome face was a little haggard and tired.

From the bottom of her heart, Hu Xiaowei said sincerely: "Did you know me before, and you were the one who took care of me in the car when I came?"

His downcast eyelashes cast deep shadows on his pale face.He turned his back to Hu Xiaowei, his usually straight back suddenly became a little bent.

In the night wind, Gu Qing let out a long sigh: "It's late, you should rest."

After passing through the grassland, we entered the primeval forest of Luoze, where the jeep could no longer drive, and the three of them could only carry food and tents on their backs, abandon the car and walk.

Considering Hu Xiaowei's pregnancy and physical strength, Gu Qing only let her carry a very small amount of equipment, and he and Mengka shared the rest of the heavy load.

The three of them walked on the winding and narrow black soil path, and the already blurry road was sometimes covered by overgrown plants.Fortunately, Meng Ka, who was leading the way, cut the way for them with a machete.Without him, they couldn't get out of this labyrinthine jungle.

The forest in winter is filled with humidity and smog. The air is so humid that Hu Xiaowei feels that all pores are blocked and she cannot breathe.The towering ancient trees on both sides and the vines entwined on the trees wove a dense net above their heads, and it was difficult to see a complete sky.

A kind of moss that grows on trees hangs long in the air like old beards in Beijing opera. Mengka told us to be careful not to let them stick to the skin, so as not to be hurt by their secretions, that thing is poisonous .

There are various faint but continuous sounds in the jungle, reminding them that in this seemingly silent green sea, there are endless snakes, beasts, insects and birds lurking.They are the masters here, and as intruders, they must follow the rules here.

"Be careful of the tree roots and moss under your feet. If you fall now, you will..." Gu Qing, who was walking behind me, reminded Hu Xiaowei dryly.

"There will be a miscarriage." Before he finished speaking, Hu Xiaowei answered, "I've been paying attention to the bottom of my feet, don't worry. But your appearance now is very similar to my mother." Hu Xiaowei couldn't help turning her head and teasing him smile.

He turned his face away from her.

"Gu Qing, why don't you look at the road like this? There are a lot of protruding tree roots under your feet, and if you fall, you will knock off your front teeth." Hu Xiaowei only focused on talking, but suddenly stepped on a soft mass.On her feet were still a pair of flat fur boots that she had been wearing since she was kidnapped, and at this moment, the soft thing covered her entire instep blackly.

"It doesn't matter, it's the dung pulled by monkeys." It doesn't matter if Mengka doesn't say anything, Hu Xiaowei screamed, desperately wiping her feet on the moss beside the road.

At this time, Gu Qing gloated and said, "You should be glad that you didn't step on human feces, because monkeys are vegetarians, and their excrement is far less smelly than human excrement. Besides, stepping on feces will bring you luck, and you are considered a bumper now." If you have great luck, maybe you can turn bad luck into good fortune."
