Loxin Amusement Park
The sudden rain was about to stop, and there were faint shouts and lights in the distance.
Seeing that there were quite a few people, the students all knew that the rescue team had arrived, and their tense expressions finally relaxed.
There were also a few suppressed cries heard in the crowd. Probably in the short term, these people would not rashly participate in such gatherings again.
With Cai Li's leadership, the rescue team quickly found the location where Xue Xiang fell.
Cheng Nuoxin saw obvious scratches on the mountain road over there and looked down.
Most of the view was blocked by half-bent branches, and the edges were full of protruding rocks, making it almost dangerous.
She suddenly lost control of her emotions and tried to rush forward, but Cai Li, who was following closely behind her, stopped her with his arm. "Calm down, Xue Xiang's life or death is uncertain. Do you want to make us worry too?"
Having already used up most of his strength in the heavy rain, and feeling grief-stricken, Cheng Nuoxin no longer had the strength to struggle. He felt his legs go limp and he could no longer stand, so he had to sit down.
Fortunately, the search direction was clear, and before long, news came from the bottom of the valley that the person had been found.
Cheng Nuoxin used Cai Li's arm for support and managed to stand up: "Take me over, I can't walk anymore."
"Okay." Cai Li gently put his arm around his shoulders, and the dark night well concealed the corners of his mouth that he couldn't help but curl up.
The cliff looks steep, but the road condition is relatively smooth if you follow the path next to it.
Not long after, Cheng Nuoxin saw a place surrounded by people, with a figure lying on the ground, most of it covered.
Her hands couldn't help but start shaking again, and after seeing that cold, pale face, the tense string in her head finally broke.
The clothes he was wearing were scratched a lot during the fall, and the bloodstains on the clothes were washed away by the rain, turning them into a light red.
Cheng Nuoxin squatted down, unable to understand how the person who had just been standing in front of him and saying goodbye to him could become like this.
She wanted to wipe the mud and leaves off Xue Xiang's face, but the moment she touched it, she felt like she was touching a piece of ice.
It must be very cold after waiting down there for so long.
Cheng Nuoxin carefully held up his upper body, hoping to convey her questions to him.
"It's okay, Xiang. I'll take you home."
Even as he said this, he was still shaking.
The rescuer stepped forward and said, "Student, we have to bring him back."
Although it seems to be just an accidental fall, a young student was killed after all, and the people above are taking it very seriously. The specific cause of death needs to be verified and reported.
But even with such kind words, Cheng Nuoxin still had no intention of letting go.
"No, you can't take Ah Xiang away." She probably knew that if they separated again, there would be no chance to meet again.
Cai Li whispered to comfort him, "The mountain is so desolate, you don't want Xue Xiang to stay here forever, right? You can make him look more respectable when you return."
Despite accepting everyone's encouragement, Cheng Nuo knew deep down that his persistence was in vain.
Finally, he nodded very slowly.
With a click, Ding Can came back to her senses. A dull pain spread throughout her body. Her emotions affected the movement of her spleen and stomach. She felt like something was stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.
Xue Xiang's body was right in front of him.
Now we are outside the plot, and we didn't wait for Xia Jialian to wake up again. Perhaps he had completed the deduction in the plot and his consciousness returned to the amusement park.
But the news that her companions had escaped from the danger of the small world did not make her happy at all.
Cheng Nuoxin's emotions are still affecting her. From childhood to adulthood, she has had regretful moments of being moved and frustrated by others.
But compared to now, those are just like tiny dust, far less than the coming storm.
Lin He was right beside her, and noticing her strange reaction, he raised his hand to pat her shoulder: "Are you okay?"
What he didn't say out loud was that he secretly felt happy when he saw the scene before him.
Ding Can turned his head to look at Lin He. His eyes had been red from a while ago, but the tears in them did not decrease at all even though he regained consciousness.
So much so that tears as big as beans flowed from his eyes.
The rain had stopped long ago, though occasional drops of water still fell from the trees, but she knew very well that it was nothing else.
Ding Can was stunned for a moment, and even raised his finger with a strange expression, and used the raised index finger to wipe the tears to the side of his face.
"Why am I crying?"
I should have just been a bystander and experienced this more calmly.
"It's normal to feel sad when you see something. The ground is cold, so get up first."
Rescue workers sealed Xue Xiang's body in a bag and carried it onto a stretcher.
They will follow the local guide's footsteps and go down the mountain along the mountain road.
When he was helped to stand up, Ding Can could hardly feel his legs. He had been in the same posture for too long and they had already become numb.
He could only put most of his body weight on Lin He.
"Sorry, I can't stand still."
Lin He took her to a nearby rock. Even though they were both almost soaked, he still stretched out his arms to clear the rainwater accumulated in the potholes on the rock.
"Let's sit here and rest for a while."
After he finished speaking, he didn't see Ding Can make any movement, so he turned his head to see her reaction: "What's wrong?"
Ding Can shook his head, clearly in denial, but his expression grew serious. "Can you tell who I am now? Ding Can or someone else?"
She finally understood the source of Lin He's previous worries. It seemed that continuing to live here would really have a great impact on both her body and mind.
Lin He didn't answer her question directly, but suddenly asked, "Do you know how Xue Xiang fell off the cliff?"
Ding Can's eyes widened instantly and was about to say something when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Finally found you guys, what's going on?"
Hearing the familiar tone, Ding Can turned around and took a look before he remembered that this was the unfamiliar face in the expedition team, the boy that Cheng Nuoxin met for the first time.
"Xiao Gao?"
Before going to watch the stars, I saw him and Cai Li walking together.
"It's me," Gao Wenwen nodded. "I just happened to hear you talking, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come over and recognize you."
No wonder I haven’t seen him for so long. It turns out that in Cheng Nuoxin’s perspective, he is the one who appears so late.
Ding Can came back to his senses: "I'm glad to see you. I was worried that you might have been taken somewhere else."
But when she looked at Gao Wenwen, she saw that although he was surprised for a moment, his face immediately turned gloomy again, and he looked in the direction where some of the rescue team members left.
They were the ones who took Xue Xiang away first.
"What did you just experience?" Ding Can asked.
Gao Wenwen first glanced at Lin He, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Let me explain," Lin He took over the conversation, "This is Cai Li's painstaking plan."
The new boy is a good friend from outside the school whom Cai Li found to increase his chances of success today.
The right time, place and people are all essential. Cai Li made inquiries from many sources and learned that although Dongshan is a tourist attraction, the climate in the front and back mountains is very different.
The climate in the back mountain where they climbed today is more changeable, especially in early autumn.
Often, even when the sky is clear during the day and the first half of the night is covered with moonlight, it is very likely that a sudden rainstorm will occur in the second half of the night.
The sunrise news obtained through searching is true, but it mostly occurs in summer.
In short, Cai Li is basically certain that if you travel during this period, the probability of encountering heavy rain will greatly increase.
However, if you encounter sudden weather conditions in the mountains, it seems much more reasonable that something unexpected might happen.
But he still needs to distance himself from the matter and it is necessary to take Xue Xiang away from the crowd.
Xue Xiang seldom participated in school club activities and didn't make many acquaintances with his classmates, so on this trip, the person he had the best relationship with was Cai Li.
Therefore, when the boys decided to go around to find ways to survive, he easily accepted Cai Li's request to go with them.
After walking a little further and confirming that there was no one else following them except the three of them, Cai Li winked at the boy from behind.
The two men seized the opportunity and pushed Xue Xiang down.
The mountain road was slippery after the rain, and with his unstable center of gravity, he fell down after struggling for long.
The heavy rain easily washed away many of the tiny traces, and even if there were any suspicious points, they would disappear in the mountains and forests.
So, this was actually a premeditated murder.
Ding Can listened with his arms folded, feeling cold all over. He looked up at them with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Gao Wenwen opened her mouth in fear: "Sister Can, don't look at me like that, I'm a little scared."
"You'd better not come near me now." Ding Can almost suspected that he had entered the plot again at some unknown moment.
Otherwise, why were the emotions of sadness and anger so obvious, as if Cheng Nuoxin had regained control of her body.
Lin He looked at Gao Wenwen who was still confused. He had just arrived and probably didn't understand why Ding Can reacted like that.
On the other side, the rescue team came with a large number of students, and they were going to go down the mountain together.
"Just follow me first, and I'll tell you what the situation is."
The two walked a little further away, and Ding Can followed the female classmates in the team forward.
The flashlights brought by the rescue team were probably fully charged, as they illuminated the surrounding small forest area, making the way forward clear, but the students were not in the mood at all.
Everyone's face was gloomy. After all, they had just walked through the hands of death, not to mention that some people's statements were left here forever.
As more people gathered, Ding Can felt even more lonely. She had a backpack on her shoulder and another in her hand.
That was what Xue Xiang gave him for safekeeping before he left, and it contained painting supplies that he usually treated with care.
If everything had gone as usual, he would have used these things to depict the most beautiful colors in the world at the next sunrise.
This seems to be the last thing I can hold onto so far.
Ding Can held the backpack tighter in his arms.
*
School leaders were already waiting in front of the bus at the foot of the mountain. When something like this happens to students, even on a weekend, there is a lot of responsibility to be taken.
Everyone went to the police station first to make a simple record.
After this incident, the students who went out for the adventure were more or less punished by the school and were criticized at the school-wide student assembly.
As the organizer, Cai Li deliberately omitted the "friend" recruited from outside the school when reporting the list of expedition team members.
It was a lucky thing to survive by chance, and no one wanted to pursue anything at this time.
However, the psychological trauma that everyone is forced to endure will take a long time to dissipate.
