Old Wang thought of the director's last words and felt a heavy responsibility. What made him gratified was that his life and death comrade of many years had safely come to partner with him. He felt much more at ease.
Lao Wang suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was quiet, very quiet. Even the cool mountain wind had stopped. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He tried his best to control his ominous premonition. He heard rustling sounds that were getting denser and louder. It was not the sound of the wind shaking the leaves. No, it was the sound of animals crawling.
Old Wang thought of the poisonous snake he saw not far away in the evening. He immediately rushed to the tent and shouted," Get up quickly. It's dangerous."
At the same time that Old Wang was alerted, Ping An rushed out with his years of training and his timely warning of danger. Following that, Luo Ba also rushed out. When the Miao girl rushed out, she woke up Chen Xiude, who was in a daze from his dream.
Lu Yue was a light sleeper because of her foot injury. She woke up with a start, but it was inconvenient for her to move. She could not come out of the tent for a long time. Huo Jiakai rushed in, picked up her bag, and ran out.
The sound was very close, and it sounded creepy in the night. Old Wang said," Everyone, run along the river bank. Don't get separated. Take care of each other. Ping 'an, take good care of Lu Yue."
Huo Jiakai said," I'll take care of her."
Everyone started running. Huo Jiakai carried Lu Yue and ran with them. Although the mountain road was bumpy and it was night, Huo Jiakai's every step was steady.
Lu Yue struggled to get down and walk on her own. Huo Jiakai could only hug her even tighter. Before he could even speak, he could already smell the stench in the air.
When Lu Yue pushed Huo Jiakai's chest again, Huo Jiakai was furious." Idiot, you want to kill me? You're chasing a poisonous snake."”
As if to prove that what he said was true, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, lighting up the forest as bright as day. Lu Yue saw it clearly. A large group of densely packed snakes twisted and moved forward rapidly like a black rolling tide. Lu Yue was so frightened that she did not dare to move. She curled up in Huo Jiakai's arms and blamed herself for being useless and dragging others down.
One bolt of lightning after another seemed to be chasing after everyone's heels, and a huge thunder exploded above everyone's heads. A bolt of lightning struck an old tree. The old tree instantly burst into flames, attracting the trees beside it. The snakes were in a mess, avoiding the heat wave and temporarily reducing their speed.
Wind and thunder raged in the forest, and the fire roared arrogantly in the wind, illuminating the sky. Everyone could feel the heat wave burning their eyebrows. Old Wang and Luoba were in front, greeting them from time to time, afraid that someone would fall behind.
Ping An often looked after Chen Xiude. The Miao girl's physical strength was beyond everyone's imagination and was not inferior to Old Wang's. Old Wang shouted at Huo Jiakai and ran along the river bank.
At this time, Luoba shouted," Don't go near the river bank. Run up the mountain. There's going to be a rainstorm and a flash flood."”
Luoba led the way up the mountain, and everyone followed suit. The snake seemed to have intelligence as well, following him up the mountain. With a loud thunder, heavy rain poured down.
Soon, the forest turned into a swamp. The rainwater gathered into a stream and then formed a huge current. It carried the mountain rocks and rushed down, all the way to the Yarlung Zangbo River. The snakes were scattered by the flood. Many of them were washed into the river, and those who survived fled in panic.
Huo Jiakai climbed to a big tree and leaned against the trunk to rest. Even though he was strong, he was as tired as a dog with broken bones. Lu Yue still hugged him tightly and buried her head in his arms. It was as if she thought that she would be lighter if she shrunk a little.
Huo Jiakai looked at Lu Yue, who was lying in his arms and did not dare to move. Her wet clothes stuck to her body, revealing her curves. She was beautiful and seductive. Huo Jiakai shook his arm and said," Hey, are you asleep?"”
Lu Yue raised her head and looked at the situation. She thanked him gratefully. She was sincere. In such a critical situation, he had thought of saving her first and had not abandoned her along the way. She thought that heroes should be like this.
"What's wrong? Are you touched just like that?" Huo Jiakai said," What do you have to thank me for? Will you consider marrying me?”As he spoke, he slowly put Lu Yue down and said,"I'll carry you later. Hold on tighter." You can't climb a mountain with just your legs."
He had just carried Lu Yue on his back and weighed her up when he saw a flash of lightning. He looked up. Oh my god, a flood was rushing towards the tree he was leaning against. Huo Jiakai hurriedly exerted strength in his legs and jumped to the right. He ran to the side.
The water rushed to the big tree in an instant. It carried sand and stones as it hit the tree. A big stone hit the tree trunk and made a dull sound. Huo Jiakai and Lu Yue looked back. The big tree was uprooted and washed down with the flash flood.
Lu Yue said in fear,"You saved me again."”Huo Jiakai carried Lu Yue on his back. He stopped joking and chased after the others.
Everyone stopped at a higher ground to rest. After running in the rain for so long, everyone's stamina was a little weak.
Old Wang was more afraid of Huo Jiakai. The others were running alone. Don't forget that Huo Jiakai was carrying a living person. She didn't look any more tired than them.
Although the rain was still falling, it was much lighter than before. The thunder also stopped. Old Wang turned on the light on his head and looked at the time. It was four in the morning.
Old Wang said," Let's rest here. The rain should stop soon." I'll plan it out when it's dawn. Clean up your luggage and eat something."
Everyone looked around. Pingan was carrying a backpack, Luoba was carrying a backpack, and the Miao girl was only carrying her small bag and small black box. When they discovered the snakes, Old Wang was outside the tent urging everyone to get up. Huo Jiakai went to save Lu Yue and did not even bother to take his backpack. Luoba took out the beef jerky from his backpack and distributed it to everyone. No one was polite. The journey had exhausted too much of their physical strength.
Huo Jiakai found a rock and sat down. He helped Lu Yue to sit down as well. He looked at her feet. Fortunately, they were not swollen anymore. Luo Ba put a black pill in his mouth and chewed it into pieces. He spat it out and handed it to Lu Yue, saying," Put this on the swollen area. It will be fine in two hours."”
Lu Yue hesitated for a moment, but Huo Jiakai naturally took it and applied it to Lu Yue's ankle. Instantly, his entire ankle felt cool and comfortable. Lu Yue quickly thanked him. Luoba was expressionless. Lu Yue secretly stuck out her tongue. She had neglected Luoba's good intentions.
"Here you go." Lu Yue stuffed the beef jerky she had just distributed to Huo Jiakai.
"Eat it yourself."
"I'm not hungry at all. You've used up so much energy, you should eat more.”Lu Yue said gently.
Huo Jiakai felt very warm inside. He had been living in danger and hunting all this time. How could he calm down and have a warm relationship with an innocent and kind girl?
Huo Jiakai patted his shoulder and gestured for Lu Yue to lean over. Lu Yue's face was burning and she hesitated. Huo Jiakai said," You've already hugged me. What's the point of leaning on my shoulder?”
Lu Yue smiled embarrassedly. This guy was so capable that he made it seem like he was embarrassed. Lu Yue gently leaned her head on Huo Jiakai's shoulder. She felt very calm. Ever since her mother left, she had not felt this way for a long time.
