"Then...then..." Wan Qianqian's eyes flickered, and a hint of fear finally appeared on her face. She should have known that Fu Huaijin was a dangerous person and that getting close to him would not end well.
Su Yuxi had left the reef at some point. She strolled alone along the beach, the surging waves crashing against her, her delicate feet sinking into the sand. Each time she moved a step, her footprints were swallowed by the sea.
Suddenly, she had an idea: if all else fails, she could swim across.
But she came by helicopter, and this place is surrounded by the sea; she doesn't even know which direction she can swim back.
Just as she was feeling dejected, a white light flashed in the corner of her eye. Looking up, she saw a small white tail disappear into the crevice.
Su Yuxi hesitated for only a moment before stepping inside.
The little creature darted through the dense forest, running quite fast; she could only follow its scent to catch up.
These days they've been wandering around the outside of the island. Wan Qianqian won't let her in, afraid she might encounter some poisonous insects or rodents that could endanger her life.
Although she wasn't afraid, Wan Qianqian was just an ordinary person. If she encountered a poisonous insect, a single bite could be fatal.
For her safety, she hadn't been able to come in, but now that she's stepped inside, she's discovered a completely different world.
Following the trail left by the little creature, she found its nest and realized that it was a weasel.
The little thing is tiny, pure white, and looks very cute.
Su Yuxi walked over, pinched a bit of skin on its neck, and tossed the little thing out and shook it a couple of times.
"Why did you lead me here, little guy?"
"Squeak squeak squeak".
"I brought you here because I want to tell you a secret."
Su Yuxi's eyes brightened slightly, and she raised an eyebrow: "Oh, the little guy has become intelligent; he can actually understand human speech."
rare.
Even in the vast primeval forest, animals with intelligence are extremely rare. It is truly remarkable that an animal with intelligence has appeared on this tiny island.
"Tell me your secrets. If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll pluck all your feathers."
The little weasel squeaked twice, clearly displeased with her threat: "How can you not tell right from wrong? I was trying to help you, and you still plucked my feathers. You're so fierce, I'm not telling you anymore. I'll make sure you're trapped here for the rest of your life."
Su Yuxi chuckled: "I didn't expect someone so small to have such a big temper. Do you want me trapped here for the rest of my life? Do you have the ability to do that?"
The weasel squeaked again, raised its head, and said indignantly, "What do you mean I'm sleepy? It's clearly your friend who wants to keep you here."
Su Yuxi's smile froze on her lips. She straightened up, her expression serious: "What do you mean by that?"
Lingyou snorted twice, looking down on her dazed appearance: "You're just an idiot, completely fooled by your friends. I heard them say the other day that they were going to destroy all the equipment here and cut off your escape route."
"They just want to keep you trapped here and prevent you from leaving the island."
"You're still foolishly smiling and playing with them."
Su Yuxi immediately retorted, "Impossible."
"Why are they keeping me here?"
Besides, Qianqian is her best friend, how could she possibly trap her here?
Lingyou shrugged: "How should I know? I only heard them say that they were going to keep you here so you wouldn't go out and mess things up. You were so stupid to believe them."
Feeling mocked by it, Su Yuxi curled her finger and tapped its little head: "Stop talking nonsense here, my good sister would never lie to me."
"Ah... you rude woman, believe it or not, I've already told you." The weasel rubbed its head, and taking advantage of Su Yuxi's relaxed grip, it twisted its body violently, broke free from her grasp, jumped down, climbed up the tree, and looked down at her from above.
"Hey, silly woman, I'll take you somewhere, and in exchange, you can take me out with you, okay?"
It wasn't providing her with information for nothing; seeing a sentient animal was extremely rare, and if it wanted to get out, it had to seize this opportunity.
It didn't want to be trapped on this small island forever; it longed for freedom, to escape the vast ocean of stars and run through the boundless forest.
Su Yuxi squinted, looking at the strange weasel with suspicion: "Where?"
Lingyou chuckled mysteriously twice: "It's the man who brought you here on the first day. He also has a secret base here. It's quite mysterious. I've never been inside, but if you agree to take me there, I can take you there."
"Don't even think about going in by yourself. There are guards there. As soon as you show up, you'll definitely be spotted. Besides, the terrain there is complicated and secluded. You can't get in without someone to guide you."
"Since there's someone guarding the place, how are you going to get me in?" Su Yuxi was genuinely intrigued.
"I know a secret passage that leads in."
"Perhaps it has something to do with them trapping you here." Lingyou stopped revealing herself, as continuing would expose all her secrets.
"So, how about it? Do you want to cooperate?"
Su Yuxi did not answer immediately. Firstly, she trusted Wan Qianqian, and secondly, Wan Qianqian had come looking for her, so even if she agreed now, she couldn't go.
"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer later."
The weasel saw someone coming and quickly scurried into the tree hole above to hide.
"What are you doing running in there all by yourself, Xixi? Come on, hurry up! There are ferocious beasts inside that might eat you up."
Wan Qianqian grabbed her hand and pulled her away without saying a word, scolding her as she did so, saying that there were many other wild animals on the island, some of which were very fierce and would carry her away and eat her if she were caught.
Su Yuxi didn't struggle and followed her lead to walk out, but her eyes held a hint of suspicion. This was the first friend she had made with her heart since she left home, and she didn't believe that Wan Qianqian would lie to her.
"Qianqian, do you think the yacht can really be blown away by the wind?" Su Yuxi asked tentatively, and she could feel the hand holding hers stiffen for a moment.
But that doesn't necessarily mean anything; it could just be surprise that she kept asking about it.
Wan Qianqian really didn't expect her to bring this up again. She slowed down and, after mentally preparing a bunch of things, said nonchalantly, "Yeah, of course it will. Didn't you see how many trees were blown down that night when it thundered, the wind blew, and the rain poured down? Even our base station was struck by lightning, let alone that little yacht."
"The forestry school is doing its best to repair the base station. Once it's fixed, we'll definitely be able to contact the outside world and go out."
"Please be patient and wait a few more days."
