Yu Mengru and Song Xiaoyou, who were on night watch, had to wake everyone up and drag their tired bodies into the cave entrance at the top of the mountain.
Everyone was exhausted that night.
When Lu Wuyai woke up the next morning, he found the atmosphere around him somewhat gloomy. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Han Shuyi was gone.
At the same time, Lu Wuyai subconsciously touched the locator hidden in his pocket.
Before he could take any action, Su Xi said, "Don't bother looking, Han Shuyi stole it."
"little bitch"
"How dare she do this?"
Lu Wuyai stood up from the ground, his whole body radiating anger. Looking at the others who were still motionless, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Why are you still loitering here? Hurry up and go find it."
Don't you want to go home?
Yu Yuxia pulled Lu Wuyai back and said helplessly, "Did you hear the wind outside? A typhoon is coming, and the rescue team definitely won't be here for the next couple of days."
"Moreover, in such strong winds, the chances of us finding Han Shuyi in the wild are almost zero."
At this moment, Su Xi snorted coldly: "Actually, in the end, it was your incompetence in keeping watch last night that allowed such a big living person to escape in full view of everyone."
Last night, Yu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou were on lookout duty. At this moment, both of them lowered their heads. It was so cold last night; the wind howled like a lullaby.
Lu Wuyai took a breath and advised, "Forget it, everything has already happened. Let's think about how to resolve it."
"What else do you think can be done about this?" Su Xi suddenly picked up a stone and threw it hard into the campfire. Everyone was terrified and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
“You have no idea how difficult it is to find someone in the vast mountains and seas. What’s more, Han Shuyi would deliberately avoid us.”
"Lu Wuyai, please tell me how to find Han Shuyi within the next two days."
"If you find her, I will become your wife."
Su Xi was also furious. She shivered in the cave. She finally found Han Shuyi and the locator, but before she could warm them up, Han Shuyi ran off with her goods.
Lu Wuyai knew Su Xi was angry, but he was even more heartbroken and saddened. The opportunity to leave was right in front of him, but in the end, he got nothing.
However, Lu Wuyai still comforted Su Xi and told her to go with everyone to search. Although they were searching for a needle in a haystack, it was difficult for Han Shuyi to go far in the strong wind.
“I also think we should go out and look for them now.” Song Xiaoyou raised her head, her eyes fierce, completely unlike her usual self.
"Han Shuyi won't go far in a strong wind, and it's not easy to find a safe haven."
Song Xiaoyou pouted: "Han Shuyi wouldn't leave the cave without being completely certain. In other words, she should find a place to stay before leaving."
As Song Xiaoyou's fluent voice rang out, the tense atmosphere around the campfire gradually calmed down.
“The typhoon is an opportunity. The shelter must be not far from the cave. Han Shuyi has been acting alone near Monkey Mountain for the past two days. I think the shelter should be within her range of activity.”
At this moment, Su Xi, who had been silent all along, also analyzed: "During the days when she was being chased by wolves, I was with her the whole time, which basically rules out the possibility of other shelters."
Song Xiaoyou continued, "We can take advantage of the windy weather to search slowly. The area of Monkey Mountain is actually not very large. If we come down today and are lucky, we might find something."
Everyone stared at each other in shock, never expecting Song Xiaoyou to speak so fluently in one breath.
Noticing the surprise of the others, Song Xiaoyou's face instantly turned red. She quickly lowered her head, her chin bouncing as soon as it touched her chest.
Lu Wuyai's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, "This person who doesn't usually show off his talent, I never imagined that he would grow to such a level."
"Ahem," Su Xi coughed a few times, then said, "It's still early, let's hurry up and get started."
"Lu Wuyai stays here. Dong Bingling, stay with him and don't let anything happen to him. If you have time, repair the fence at the entrance of the cave."
Soon, it was ten o'clock. Except for Lu Wuyai and Dong Bingling, who stayed in the cave, everyone else tied themselves together with tree ropes and began to leave the cave entrance to search for the forest ravaged by the typhoon.
At the cave entrance, Lu Wuyai didn't linger, watching the women leave. He vaguely recalled some of the routes Han Shuyi had taken through the forest.
So he stood at the entrance of the cave on the mountaintop and used his telescope to look for possible clues.
"Han Shuyi, where did you go?"
Looking down at the dense jungle, Lu Wuyai searched every inch of land during the typhoon's rampage, and before he knew it, dusk was approaching.
However, even though it was already dusk, the forest was still pitch black under the gloomy clouds.
On the way, everyone returned for a while, ate some wild fruit, and then continued their search. In the pitch-black night, any light that appeared would be very eye-catching.
Inside the cave, Dong Bingling used the remaining thorns to make a built-in fence. There was no need to worry about it being blown away by the wind. The only downside was that it lacked a bit of concealment.
"Lu Wuyai, drink some water. If I don't take good care of you, they'll have to kill me again when they come back." Dong Bingling seemed unhappy. She felt that taking care of someone was the most troublesome thing.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai saw a flash of deep blue lightning in the sky and quickly covered Gu Yuxin's ears.
"What are you doing."
Dong Bingling punched and kicked until the thunder subsided, at which point Lu Wuyai released his grip.
Are you crazy?
"Haha, just kidding." Lu Wuyai rubbed his arm, which was sore from being kicked, and laughed awkwardly.
Gu Yuxin snorted, walked to the side to light a fire, and welcomed the arrival of night.
Upon reaching this point, Lu Wuyai let out a long breath, feeling as if he had just brushed past death, his back covered in cold sweat.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. It was six o'clock, and Yu Yuxia and the others still hadn't returned. Lu Wuyai was a little worried. Now he could no longer see anything down the mountain.
Dong Bingling was also a little uneasy and wanted to go out to take a look, but a thunderous sound came from afar, which frightened Lu Wuyai so much that he hugged Dong Bingling's head.
As soon as the thunder roared, Gu Yuxin blushed and spat at Lu Wuyai.
"Lu Wuyai, you stink! Stop hugging me! Are you crazy?"
Is something wrong with you today?
"Okay, Ba."
Dong Bingling stepped on the ground and smelled Lu Wuyai's scent in her mouth—a sour smell.
Lu Wuyai pouted. He knew, of course, that he smelled terrible, but no one had showered during this time, and Gu Yuxin's hair also had a putrid odor.
As a result, the two of them disliked each other and sat by the fireplace, waiting for the others to return.
There was no thunder during this time, which relieved Lu Wuyai.
It was already eight o'clock, and the sound of dripping water could be heard from inside the cave. As Lu Wuyai approached, he saw Su Xi, then Yu Yuxin, then Su Xi again, and finally Song Xiaoyou.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but feel discouraged. He had been busy all day, but still couldn't find Han Shuyi.
But the next second, Su Xi said, "We found Han Shuyi."
Lu Wuyai immediately opened his eyes, but soon he was thinking, now that he had found Han Shuyi, why not bring her back?
Yu Yuxin sighed: "We did find her, but unfortunately, she was arrested by Liu Gongming and others."
Is this insane?
How did Han Shuyi get captured by Liu Gongming and his men?
In an instant, Lu Wuyai felt like he had gone mad; no one else had such good luck.
"How many of them are there? Where are they?" Lu Wuyai asked immediately.
"A cave only half an hour's walk from the back mountain. I guess Han Shuyi was caught after she left." Su Xi reached out and approached the fire. After being outside for a day, his whole body was covered in ice.
"But it's also possible that he wasn't caught."
"As for the number of people, there are too few entrances to the cave. We can see at least five people, and they are all men, not including Liu Gongming." After speaking, Su Xi glanced at Su Xi.
Su Xi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "When I left, there were about thirty people gathered around Wang Hao. I can't tell how many there are now."
"Even if we only have half the number of people, we still can't save Han Shuyi."
Gu Yuxin shook her head. There were too many people on the other side. I'm afraid that after the typhoon passes, the chances of rescuing Han Shuyi will be even lower.
“Tell me, why didn’t they kill Han Shuyi?” Lu Wuyai asked.
“Nonsense, of course I’m leaving this deserted island.” Su Xi rolled her eyes and said, “I wonder what conditions Han Shuyi agreed to with Liu Gongming.”
"More likely, Liu Gongming kidnapped Han Shuyi and demanded that she take him away from the deserted island."
At this point, Dong Bingling said, "Then tell me, can we also cooperate with Liu Gongming?"
"Gu Yuxin, what's the point of having a brain?" Gu Yuxin frowned. "It's still hard to say whether we can leave the deserted island. Liu Gongming and his gang are all lecherous. They might do something terrible to us before they leave, then kill us and destroy us. The bodies are gone."
"Won't they do something terrible to Han Shuyi? After all, they pursued her before." Gu Yuxin blinked, her tone even a little expectant.
"That woman is a fox; even if we all die, she might still be alive."
Su Xi said, "It's also possible that Liu Gongming and the others changed their minds, leaving the others on the deserted island first, and then taking Han Shuyi away."
"The most important thing now is to find a way to rescue Han Shuyi and then get far away from Liu Gongming."
But how can we save them?
"What if Han Shuyi doesn't want to come with us? Song Xiao, you can ask."
“Then go get her locator, that should be enough.” However, Su Xi hesitated for a moment, then added, “Before leaving the deserted island, we still need to keep Han Shuyi by our side. This woman has too many ideas; she might be hiding something from us.”
After speaking, Su Xi pulled out a stack of tattered cloths from her bosom. Upon opening them, they found powder inside, a portion of the medicinal powder she had intercepted from Qin Feiming.
But before that, she didn't know the effects of all the powders.
Fortunately, there were plenty of monkeys in the cave, so the number of test subjects wasn't an issue. This allowed her to fully understand the functions of all the powders.
Su Xi took out a pile of white powder, her voice trembling slightly.
“Although Liu Gongming and the others are all illegitimate children, we still cannot commit murder.”
"I tested this powder on a monkey. It should be a kind of powder. It's very potent. A tiny amount, about the size of a mung bean, can make a monkey unconscious for three hours."
However, Lu Wuyai said, "The medicine is good, but how can we get the powder inside?"
So everyone thought of many things, but in the end, no one could come up with a perfect solution.
The only feasible solution seemed to be to place the gunpowder at the entrance of the cave and use strong winds to blow it into the cave.
"We can't wait any longer." Su Xi checked the time; it was already midnight. If they delayed any longer, they would miss their chance once the typhoon passed.
Soon, only Lu Wuyai and Gu Yuxin remained in the cave.
Because of the infection in his wound, Lu Wuyai had a high fever. After waiting for a long time, he fell asleep completely. He vaguely heard thunder and the sound of Gu Yuxin walking.
When he woke up again, a cold wind was blowing in the cave and the campfire had gone out.
"Oh no, I seem to remember that while I was asleep, there was thunder in the sky."
Lu Wuyai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and realized that Dong Bingling was gone. Who knew where she had gone?
It was only then that Lu Wuyai came to his senses. At the cave entrance, Su Xi and Yu Yuxia ran in. Without asking where Dong Bingling had gone, they pulled Lu Wuyai out and ran out of the cave.
"Hurry up. Liu Gongming's men are catching up." Su Xi said through gritted teeth.
Lu Wuyai didn't have time to ask what had happened. He was already outside. A heavy rain had started, blurring his vision. But vaguely, he saw someone rushing down Monkey Mountain at incredible speed, breaking through the rain curtain.
Yu Yuxia quickly strapped a life-saving bag to Lu Wuyai's back to protect him as much as possible.
"This woman, Dong Bingling, makes me so angry." Su Xi turned around and glared at Lu Wuyai in anger.
Although he didn't know what had happened to Dong Bingling, he was the only one with her last night, so Lu Wuyai gave in on the spot.
Soon, the two women dragged Lu Wuyai away. Along the way, the gaps between the trees grew shorter and shorter.
Finally, Lu Wuyai realized that they had once again entered a rainforest, with countless leeches eagerly waiting on the leaves. Lu Wuyai felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, the people behind them kept chasing, so Lu Wuyai and his group did not hesitate and headed straight into the rainforest.
It was raining heavily outside, but everyone in the rainforest could only hear the muffled sound of water. The air was thick with moisture, making it hard to breathe, and everyone was soaked to the bone.
Lu Wuyai couldn't help but ask where the others were.
"We don't know either." Su Xi was furious. His good plan had been ruined by Gu Yuxin.
Yu Yuxin whispered, "Stop talking and leave quickly."
The vegetation in the rainforest was too dense, so Lu Wuyai walked at the back because he had a survival kit on him, which greatly protected him from insect infestations, and also allowed him to keep an eye on the two women in front of him.
There was no chance to rest along the way.
Until a certain moment, everything became very quiet. Su Xi, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and hissed.
It was very quiet inside, with only the rustling of raindrops on the leaves of nearby trees, but this quietness was always unsettling.
An hour later, when the three of them emerged from the rainforest, they immediately began to check their bodies for any abnormalities.
"Want to take off your clothes?" Lu Wuyai suddenly asked, his gaze lingering in the woods.
Su Xi snorted: "Take off your ass. Open your eyes wide and tell me the truth."
Lu Wuyai smiled and turned around. A moment later, he heard the rustling sound of clothes being taken off.
The sound, falling into Lu Wuyai's ears, felt like someone was scratching at his heart, but finally disappeared. Then, Yu Yuxia suddenly spoke, and he subconsciously turned his head.
I saw Yu Yuxia lying on the ground in the woods, her two long, snow-white legs raised in the air. They were round and white. No wonder I often heard people say that they were playing with their legs.
Beside Gu Yuxin, Su Xi was bending down to help Gu Yuxin up. However, the opening in her collar was quite large, revealing the swaying white waves below her collarbone, with a few water droplets still remaining on them, making her look particularly alluring.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard; his body felt like it was on fire.
Gulu
Having witnessed this beautiful scenery outside the rainforest, Su Xi and Gu Yuxin never spoke to Lu Wuyai again during the rest of their journey.
This made Lu Wuyai anxious.
Around noon, seeing Lu Wuyai in a panic, Yu Yuxin went to his side and quickly whispered what had happened last night.
"At first, everything went smoothly. We braved the wind and rain to reach the cave entrance. We also prepared medicinal powder. When the wind blew, the powder went into the cave. However, it's not clear yet whether it was the medicine or because the other person was too tired. The snoring started from the beginning. It happened."
"We waited for a while and were about to enter the cave when Gu Yuxin appeared. Without saying a word, she entered the cave faster than us."
Su Xi took a sip of water and continued, "The medicine was less effective than we thought, and maybe it didn't work at all. As soon as Dong Bingling went in, those people woke up and started fighting. It turns out that Liu Gongming was indeed in the cave."
"Hey, anyway, there was a lot of excitement from last night until dawn. Gu Yuxin and Liu Gongming were like they were filming a movie. By the way, that sentence means victory or defeat, and it also means life or death."
"And then?" Lu Wuyai wanted to know what happened to Han Shuyi in the end.
"And then. Then Han Shuyi was slapped unconscious by Dong Bingling, who then carried her away."
"Liu Gongming went after Dong Bingling, and the others started chasing us too. Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou got lost, so we can only take you with us first. Monkey Mountain is not safe at all; they will find us sooner or later."
But Yu Yuxin suddenly smiled and said, "We found this from Han Shuyi."
Lu Wuyai saw Yu Yuxia take a familiar thing out of her pocket; it turned out to be a locator.
"This is no longer useful."
"You idiot, if you're really useless, why did Han Shuyi leave with your..." Su Xi rolled her eyes and cursed Lu Wuyai as stupid.
Lu Wuyai suddenly realized and secretly cursed himself for forgetting this point.
