Loxin Amusement Park
Ling half opened her eyes, and because of the glare, her eyelids blinked rapidly.
Subconsciously covering his eyes with the back of his hand, he adjusted for a moment and realized that it was not the illumination of any light, but the light source actually came from the sun.
His head was still dizzy. Ling Yi held his forehead, supported himself on the ground and straightened his upper body. He shook his head subconsciously, and the remaining fainting symptoms were relieved a lot.
He looked around and noticed that Xi Yin was also there, but his condition was better than his. He was not placed directly on the grass, but lying on Shi Yan's legs.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, which was also a sign of waking up.
He looked at the people standing around him, his mind still a little confused: "Are we back in the forest? How did we get back?"
They were now at the edge of the canyon, the place they had just passed in the morning. Even the food basket that Xiyin had brought was not far away.
It was clearly a critical moment at the bottom of the valley just now. The miasma, vines, and poisonous insects were all dangers that were unimaginable to overcome under normal circumstances.
How did they do it and get everyone back to where they were in one piece?
"Of course I carried you two back, after all, you just fainted." Gao Wenwen's movements and the way he spoke to them while sitting lazily on the grass seemed very convincing, and he looked very tired.
Lingyi was still terrified: "How did he escape from the valley?"
He could barely accept that someone had been brought back, but he observed again and confirmed that except for himself and Xi Yin who fainted due to the gas attack, no one else had any skin injuries.
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. While the vines were fighting the bugs, we found an opportunity and came back."
Gao Wenwen shrugged his shoulders. Of course, it was impossible for them to carry the person back from such a long distance, but the real situation was a little too unbelievable to explain to him.
Lingyi wanted to ask more, but Xiyin slowly woke up at this time, and Shi Yan helped her up.
Xi Yin was still holding the wooden stick that he had used to protect himself. Even when he fainted, he held on tightly and did not let go. No one could pry it open, which showed that he had a very strong desire to survive.
Now that she saw she was out of danger, she relaxed a little. She let go of her hands, and there were several obvious red marks on her palms.
"You're awake. Are you feeling okay?" Ding Can walked over and seemed to stop between her and Ling Yi unintentionally.
Xi Yin knew that he was safe and sound now, and it must be because of the help of these people.
"Thank you, I'm fine, everything feels good, thanks to you guys."
Ding Can's brows softened a little: "That's good. What are your plans next?"
"I haven't thought about the future yet, but they are all still here, so I won't leave."
Although the remains of my father and brother are now buried at the bottom of the valley, it is not suitable to collect the bones and bring them up.
But things change, and maybe many years later, she will be able to return to the bottom of the valley in a safer way, and then she will bring her loved ones home with her own hands.
She will stay here until that day comes.
"Come back to the village with me. We can come visit your uncle and brother often. It's not safe for you to be here alone. They are in heaven and they certainly don't want you to live in such an unstable environment."
Seeing that her expression was somewhat moved, Lingyi continued, "You must live for yourself from now on. Living a peaceful and smooth life in the future is the best comfort for them."
Many different scenes quickly flashed through Xiyin's mind. Many warm moments had happened in this forest.
From her inner feelings, she understood the meaning of these words.
But Xiyin still couldn't convince herself to leave like this, she shook her head slightly.
"No, I still want to stay here, in the tree house. It will make me feel like they are always by my side."
The outside world used to be very attractive to her, but now it seems that it is no longer important. Even though she lives in such a closed environment, she feels happy with it.
Xi Yin looked up into the distance and of course didn't notice that Ling Yi's face darkened a little when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and tried his best to control his expression so that others could not see his next expression.
Ding Can confirmed Xi Yin's decision, and what she was going to say next became easier. She turned her head and said, "Speaking of which, there is something that needs your explanation now."
Xia Jialian was standing at the outermost position and spoke immediately afterwards.
He looked at the grass at the edge of the cliff. "After returning to the forest just now, we just wanted to go back to the old place and observe here to see if there was anything we missed this morning. We found this."
"What is that?" Compared to Lingyi's sudden stop, Xiyin stood up and looked in that direction.
The sky was already bright, and the visibility at the cliff edge was much better than before.
The vision was of course clearer, and the next second, she noticed that among the plants growing on the cliff, there appeared some conspicuous different luster under the sunlight.
It looked like dew in the early morning, but after they walked through the valley, it was already dawn and almost noon.
Normally, the dew that accumulated overnight would have dissipated as the temperature gradually rose.
Then what exists on the grass blades must be something else.
Xia Jialian was holding a piece of wild grass that she had picked just now, and Xi Yin took it.
Growing on the cliffs, the growth of the wild grass is different from that of ordinary plants. Starting from the root slightly above, it presents an angle of almost 90 degrees.
After touching it with his fingertips, Xiyin realized that it was some kind of oily substance, which had a lubricating effect, but of course it would also make people's feet slippery and unstable.
"You mean, Dad and brother fell off the cliff because of this?"
Seeing this situation, my brother couldn't just ignore it, so he got into an accident during the rescue process and fell down with them. But what kind of person would...
Ding Can handed the broken end of the rope to Xi Yin and said, "Besides that, we also found this."
After a careful inspection just now, she found that this rope, which she carefully maintained every day, did have signs of being cut by someone.
Moreover, the person who tampered with the wires put a lot of thought into it. It wasn't an obvious cut at first glance, but only cut off a few of the twisted wires.
The broken gap looks very uneven and may cause accidents.
Xiyin stared at the rope for a long time. In fact, this was just their speculation, but when all the coincidences came together, it was inevitable that it would make people think deeply.
She quickly thought of a possibility, raised her eyes and glanced lightly in Lingyi's direction.
There was no emotion in it, but the other party still avoided his gaze first.
Xi Yin frowned, with a look of surprise in her eyes, and even the words she asked were filled with hesitation: "Could it be..."
"It has nothing to do with me!" Ling Yi didn't even wait for her to finish her words before he started to defend himself. "It was them. We both fainted just now. Maybe they did this on purpose, creating these illusions to deceive us."
Shi Yan sneered. He was the only one present who was emotional and made many small movements, almost playing a brand name game.
Everyone thinks of the romantic fairy tale told in the amusement park, but no one knows the dark truth hidden behind it.
If they had not intervened, the hero and heroine would probably have been attacked by miasma during the search and would not have been able to see the bodies of their father and brother.
After escaping in a hurry, Xiyin, who failed to get any more information, believed Lingyi's words, followed him out of the forest, and lived a "happy" life from then on.
She will never know that the person who accompanies her all day is the real devil.
Xi Yin calmed down at this moment: "Really? They didn't even know our family before, why would they do this?"
Lingyi's eyes spun quickly: "Maybe he just wants to sow discord between us, or there are some other reasons."
Unable to find an explanation, his speech became somewhat incoherent.
Xi Yin shook her head. "Before today, I never thought you would be this kind of person. What did my father do to offend you? Or are you just a bad-hearted person?"
She recalled that when she was with her father at home, she seemed to have received deliberate reminders many times.
But at that time, I considered Lingyi a good friend, so I just agreed verbally and didn't really think about it seriously.
Now I understand that Dad must have discovered something.
Ling Yi was about to explain himself, but he heard Lin He, who had been silent for a long time, speak up: "I was next to that huge rock last night."
He looked in the direction Lin He pointed, and his eyes lit up when he saw it: "Impossible, I clearly checked yesterday..."
He was clearly afraid of being discovered, so he searched the edge of the canyon and found nothing. But halfway through his sentence, Lingyi realized that he had let something slip.
"Why?" The truth was obvious, but Xiyin still didn't understand.
When Ling saw that the truth was revealed, she curled her lips and said, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Xi Yin certainly had not forgotten that they met in a field full of wild flowers. He heard the sound of something approaching rapidly behind him and thought it was a ferocious beast approaching.
At that time, she just thought it was a coincidence, and even thought it was fate between the two of them, and did not think about the deeper reasons behind it.
"At that time, I went there to avoid being chased by others, but the first time I saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off you."
Lingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in memories.
Because of the special terrain and soil in this vast forest, it is difficult for ordinary edible fruits and vegetables to survive.
In order to maintain energy intake and satisfy their appetite, some farmers will buy seeds from other places and grow fresh fruits and vegetables. These crops are usually more expensive and are also the source of farmers' livelihood.
As for Lingyi, he was passing by a melon field and had the idea of stealing something.
It was an unsuccessful attempt as the melon grower discovered it in advance. When he saw the figure from a distance, he shouted loudly and chased after him.
Lingyi ran away at a very fast pace, circled most of the forest, and ran very far away, not knowing where he was.
The sound of the wind in his ears never stopped, and he could hear his own heavy breathing. Until he entered the area full of flowers, he saw someone hurriedly turning around to look at him, like the deer he had seen in the woods, panicking when they met a stranger.
