Soon, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yu Yuxin with grateful eyes.
"All right."
"Um"
"Let me help you put on your pants."
A rustling sound came from behind them. On the way back, Yu Yuxia warned Lu Wuyai not to tell anyone what had just happened.
Lu Wuyai nodded, returned to the campfire, and obediently lay down on the ground while Yu Yuxia changed her clothes.
"What about the others?" Lu Wuyai asked.
“We need to go deeper into the cave. That is indeed the top of the back mountain, the place where you and Tang Xin fell down before.”
"And then you went to see it too."
Gu Yuxin shook her head. To take care of Lu Wuyai, she only rested for a short while in the morning and spent the rest of the time here.
Lu Wuyai suddenly became interested: "Let's go take a look together."
Yu Yuxia hesitated for a moment, but seeing Lu Wuyai's interest, she nodded.
After wiping the blood-stained rag clean, Yu Yuxia, holding a torch that could go out at any moment, helped Lu Wuyai walk deeper into the cave.
The firelight reflected off the walls, and Lu Wuyai then noticed that the rock surfaces were very damp, and there were even water droplets in the space above his head.
Water bottles were placed where the water droplets appeared to collect the water.
“This should be considered spring water; it’s cleaner than rainwater,” Lu Wuyai said.
Yu Yuxia picked up a bottle from the ground, offered no comment, and handed it to Lu Wuyai. The liquid inside was almost overflowing.
"Come have a drink. We haven't had any water-boiling equipment lately; our only earthenware pot is broken."
Lu Wuyai took the bottle and drank a few sips. He felt a cool, refreshing sensation in his mouth, and the stinging pain in his back lessened considerably.
"It tastes really good and sweet," Lu Wuyai exclaimed.
But now he noticed that the liquid in the bottle didn't seem particularly clean. There were white, flocculent substances that looked like jellyfish.
This made Lu Wuyai feel disgusted again, after all, he had just drunk a whole bottle in one go.
"Don't drink this stuff, I think it's dirty." He saw Yu Yuxia drinking as well and quickly stopped her.
“That’s great,” Yu Mengrou said. “Look at those monkeys, they drink every day, but you haven’t seen a single dead bone here.”
After Yu Yuxia finished speaking, Lu Wuyai licked his lips, picked up the water bottle, and took a few more sips.
Whether it was psychological or not, Lu Wuyai felt that the stinging pain in his back had really lessened on the way.
Soon, the chattering of monkeys became clearer, and occasionally a few baby monkeys could be seen running over. Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin looked completely bewildered, their expressions quite adorable.
Yu Yuxia reached out to grab one, but they all ran away. She stomped her foot in anger.
Lu Wuyai found it amusing and secretly wondered if all women liked furry animals.
Just then, a gust of wind blew from ahead, bringing raindrops. They suddenly reached the end of the cave.
Looking at the familiar scene around him, Lu Wuyai smiled. This really was the cave located in the mountain gully at the top of the mountain.
However, he didn't feel the steep slope along the way. Calculating the time, the two had walked for at least twenty minutes.
If you leave it outside, you absolutely cannot reach the top of the mountain in twenty minutes.
"Hey, Yuxin, you're here."
"Come and see how to tie this corset. Neither Song Xiaoyou nor I are very good at it."
When Yu Yuxin heard this, she immediately felt sorry for him.
Sure enough, at the end of the cave, beside a campfire, Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou were wrapping their corsets around their bodies. Perhaps because they were too tight, they began to untie them layer by layer as they saw Lu Wuyai approaching.
This scene completely stunned Lu Wuyai, who was standing behind Yu Yuxin.
As Ye Meng peeled off the last layer of bodysuit, Lu Wuyai's nose began to bleed.
Half an hour later, in the cave, Lu Wuyai looked up and had already used three rags to stop the nosebleed.
Beside the fire, Su Xi stood with a somber expression. Beside her, Song Xiaoyou kept her head down, her face flushed red, not daring to look up at anyone.
"Hehe," Lu Wuyai chuckled foolishly, the sexy scenes from before flashing through his mind.
“Lu Wuyai,” Su Xi said fiercely.
"ah"
"Are you serious?" Su Xi gritted his teeth, realizing that Lu Wuyai had actually seen his body like this.
Yu Yuxia was speechless, but she knew it was all an accident.
In the end, neither Su Xi nor Song Xiaoyou brought up the matter again, and Lu Wuyai also lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.
So, after staying in the cave at the top of the mountain for a while, the four of them got up and left.
He snorted.
As Su Xi passed Lu Wuyai, she pushed him hard, causing Lu Wuyai's wound to ache again.
“You can’t be gentle. He didn’t mean it,” Gu Yuxin couldn’t help but say.
"Why do I feel heartache?" Su Xi raised her eyebrows, looking very unhappy.
"I can't be bothered with you, Lu Wuyai. Let me help you walk."
After saying that, Yu Yuxia helped Lu Wuyai up from the ground and glared angrily at Su Xi.
At this point, Lu Wuyai made a painful face, his back wound hitting the rock again, and he almost shed tears.
Just as he was about to leave, a tree branch suddenly fell from the mountaintop, swaying and hitting the nearby rock face.
"This is a vine, and it's too big."
Su Xi reached out to grab the thing, but a woman climbed down from the vine; it was Su Xi herself.
At this moment, Su Xi also saw the situation inside the cave. A smile appeared on her rain-soaked face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Where is Han Shuyi?" Su Xi asked hurriedly.
Su Xi glanced at her: "She's upstairs. I'll ask her to come down."
Ten minutes later, Su Xi and Han Shuyi squatted by the campfire, shivering from the cold. However, the two of them hadn't exchanged a single word since they came down.
"Where is the location transmitter?" Han Shuyi suddenly asked.
Lu Wuyai and the others exchanged glances, and could only say, "Dong Bingling took it and it's not with us for the time being."
After a brief silence, Han Shuyi laughed, revealing a ferocious expression.
"You must be joking."
"Isn't Dong Bingling one of your people? She doesn't have time for anything right now."
"The battery on the positioning transmitter will only last a week. We only have two days left now."
"Give me the transmitter right now."
After Han Shuyi finished speaking, she was out of breath, but for a while no one responded to her. In fact, even Lu Wuyai and the others didn't know where Dong Bingling was.
Han Shuyi's face was grim. She had finally escaped the wolf pack's pursuit. She had thought she could immediately receive the signal again using the transmitter, but this was the result.
ah
Then, Han Shuyi went berserk and kicked the campfire. Countless matches flew everywhere, causing the monkeys to scream repeatedly, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Finally, Su Xi and Su Xi ran over. One of them hugged Han Shuyi from behind, while the other waved her hand and slapped her.
With a snap.
Several resounding slaps made Lu Wuyai's hair stand on end and his scalp tingle. He thought to himself, "This woman really doesn't hold back when she hits me."
Soon, Yu Yuxia lit the bonfire again, and the bright flames calmed the turbulent scene somewhat.
Han Shuyi was already beyond saving, but the swelling on her face drove her crazy, and she kept trying to break free from Su Xi's restraints.
"ah"
Han Shuyi kept shouting, venting her pent-up frustration.
Finally, she squatted down and cried, tears and snot falling to the ground. She still retained the restraint of a "princess" from the Bangzi Kingdom.
“I’m warning you.” Su Xi grabbed Han Shuyi’s hair, forcing her to lift her head in pain.
"Next time you kick the campfire, your head will catch fire."
Su Xi said fiercely that there were no matches left, and he had to expend a lot of energy and patience every time he dug for wood to start a fire.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai walked over, hesitated for a moment, and finally said that the battery had been removed and stored separately.
It's better not to say the result. After saying this, Han Shuyi cried even louder, hugged Lu Wuyai, opened her mouth, and bit his shoulder.
ah
This time, it was Lu Wuyai's turn to scream. Han Shuyi bit him so fiercely that he felt like a piece of flesh was missing from his shoulder.
As Han Shuyi was being dragged away, Lu Wuyai took a breath, looked down, and discovered that his right shoulder was already scarlet.
Lu Wuyai couldn't laugh or cry; his body felt "shattered."
"That crazy woman"
Yu Yuxia quickly pulled Lu Wuyai to her side and began treating his wounds.
As for Han Shuyi, she quickly calmed down at this moment, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and became much more normal.
"Give me the battery." Han Shuyi looked at Lu Wuyai.
"Get lost," Lu Wuyai cursed, his shoulders aching terribly.
Finally, the six of them came down from the mountaintop and arrived near the cave entrance on the mountainside.
Su Xi walked up to Lu Wuyai and asked him if his wound was alright.
Lu Wuyai glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and walked a little faster, eventually brushing past her like a stranger.
"Ha, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?" Han Shuyi scoffed.
"Watch your words," Su Xi said coldly.
The next day, the heavy rain finally stopped, sunlight streamed through the mountains and forests, insects chirped and birds sang, and a fresh scent filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Wuyai sat resting at the entrance of a cave on the mountaintop. Looking around, he sighed inwardly; the scenery was simply too beautiful.
The forest scenery is almost immediately apparent, including the grass and leaves.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Wuyai could see Su Xi and Gu Yuxin, as well as Song Xiaoyou, who was climbing a tree with a rope tied to her. As for Su Xi and Han Shuyi, they were still searching for Dong Bingling in the woods.
Time is running out. According to Han Shuyi, even if Lu Wuyai removes the battery beforehand, there isn't much energy left in it.
The most important thing now is to find Dong Bingling.
Originally, Lu Wuyai also wanted to help, but he was met with unanimous opposition from the others.
Someone had to stay in the cave, firstly to wait for Gu Yuxin, and secondly because Lu Wuyai was injured and was slowing down the team.
In the forest, Su Xi and Yu Yuxia searched for food, occasionally finding some wild fruits that looked quite appealing. As for whether they were edible, they could only experiment on the monkeys in the cave for the time being.
Song Xiaoyou was climbing a tree. She hoped to stand high up and look into the distance, searching for Gu Yuxin's whereabouts.
Han Shuyi walked quite a distance. She probably thought Gu Yuxin wouldn't be near Monkey Mountain.
Su Xi hesitated, unsure of what he was thinking.
After watching for a while, Lu Wuyai got bored. As time went by, the cave entrance at the top of the mountain became hotter and hotter.
Just as he was about to walk a little further into the cave, a vine hung down from the top of the mountain.
When the vines fell to the ground, Lu Wuyai immediately went over to them.
Following the direction of the vines, a familiar figure swiftly slid down. By the time Lu Wuyai reacted, Dong Bingling was already standing in front of him.
At that moment, Lu Wuyai was so frightened that he trembled all over. Recalling the scene when it was raining that day, his scalp was still numb to this day.
"Dong Bingling, don't rush into anything. Talk to me properly." Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, quickly took out his whistle, and blew it, signaling the people down the mountain to hurry back.
Gu Yuxin stomped her feet and said angrily, "Lu Wuyai, what are you doing?"
"Look what kind of location transmitter I found."
"Didn't you say you found it in the cave before? Now it's obvious, I found it."
After saying that, Gu Yuxin took out the positioning transmitter that she had originally taken from Lu Wuyai from her pocket, and her expression was clear.
For a moment, Lu Wuyai was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses. It seemed that Gu Yuxin's other personality had disappeared.
Even now, she remains that carefree girl who speaks her mind freely.
At this moment, the others also rushed back from outside. When they saw Dong Bingling, Yu Mengru and the others seemed a little scared, except for Su Xi and Han Shuyi.
Han Shuyi, in particular, seemed very excited when she saw Dong Bingling, especially because of the locator she was holding.
"Give me the locator quickly."
After saying that, Han Shuyi lunged at him, but Gu Yuxin refused. The two wrestled and almost threw the locator out of the cave.
Lu Wuyai quickly picked it up and put the battery back into the original device.
Soon, the green light began to flicker, like fireflies at night, becoming clearer and clearer in the dim cave.
Then, at some point, the green light suddenly turned red, and Han Shuyi jumped up excitedly.
"Connected. Connected."
"Give it to me now. Give me the locator now."
Without hesitation, Lu Wuyai handed the locator to Han Shuyi. Since everyone was in the cave, it was impossible for her to escape with the locator.
After obtaining the locator, Han Shuyi quickly began rubbing it. Finally, an extremely thin needle popped out from under the battery.
The needle was inserted directly into Han Shuyi's skin, and the transparent tube instantly turned bright red.
The flashing red light gradually stabilized, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a faint alarm sound.
"That's fine," Dong Bingling said curiously.
Han Shuyi stood up from the ground, took the locator, and walked to the cave entrance. The flashing red light began to intensify again, eventually becoming a stable light without any flickering.
"This will succeed. If it turns green after a while, it means the signal transmission was successful."
“This is really too troublesome,” Su Xi frowned. “How long will it last?”
"It'll only take a few minutes, we'll wait."
At this moment, Han Shuyi was very patient, eagerly anticipating leaving the deserted island in her eyes.
About five minutes later, the red light suddenly turned green, and then turned dark again.
Han Shuyi removed the battery, looked back at everyone, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
"If all goes well, someone should come to rescue us in a couple of days."
No one responded, because no one would completely believe Han Shuyi's words now.
From the moment she first told everyone about the GPS tracker to now, she has kept everything a secret regarding its use.
And what's funniest is that something unexpected always happens to her.
Seeing that no one responded, Han Shuyi didn't feel embarrassed and naturally put the locator in her pocket.
“Give the locator to Lu Wuyai,” Su Xi suddenly said.
Han Shuyi raised her beautiful eyes, about to refuse, but then glanced at Lu Wuyai and handed him the locator expressionlessly.
Lu Wuyai originally wanted to ask why he was given it, but Su Xi glared at him, clearly telling him to shut up.
Afterwards, Dong Bingling accompanied Lu Wuyai to rest in the cave, while the others continued searching for food in the forest.
Two days later, they might be able to leave this deserted island.
Before they left, their greatest enemy was the obstruction from other survivors.
Too many things happened on the deserted island, some of which are unknown.
Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi, who was still lingering at the foot of the mountain. He had never understood why Su Xi had followed Han Shuyi in the first place, even though Han Shuyi had said that Liu Gongming's men were also looking for Su Xi.
"A strange ex-girlfriend." Gu Yuxin suddenly said this strange thing.
Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of business do you run? What do you want to do to repay your ex-girlfriend?"
Dong Bingling said, "Didn't you notice? Your ex-girlfriend has been carrying a cell phone that doesn't belong to her in her pocket. We've been living on a desert island for two months, who would do something like that?"
Lu Wuyai's heart skipped a beat. When the plane crashed, he remembered that Su Xi's phone must have been left there, but it might be found later. However, he still asked Su Xi, "How do you know this isn't her phone? Maybe she's a nostalgic person. She carries her phone with her; it's a kind of sentimentality."
"Given her appearance, how could she possibly still be using a five-year-old phone? That model has absolutely no advantages other than a large battery capacity. Anyone who's used it knows that."
Gu Yuxin's words completely shattered Lu Wuyai's initial thoughts. He had bought Su Xi's phone; it was the latest model this year, definitely not one from five years ago.
For a moment, Lu Wuyai was caught in a vortex of thought, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
Lu Wuyai didn't wake up until Dong Bingling reminded him that they could prepare to start a fire to welcome the dark night.
A gentle mountain breeze blew past him, making him feel cold all over.
"Su Xi, why are you back by my side again?" Lu Wuyai took a breath, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He glanced at his watch. There was only an hour left until dark, but because of the undulating mountains in the distance, the forest below Monkey Mountain had already fallen into darkness long ago.
Soon, the campfire was lit, and Su Xi and the others returned to the cave. They enjoyed a moment of tranquility in the cave halfway up the mountain.
In the dead of night, a sudden gale swept across the deserted island. The howling wind blew away the shelter at the cave entrance.
