The three men bickered around the campfire, but Tang Xin became very quiet, occasionally adding firewood to the flames. The firelight made her face appear extremely pale.
With a bang.
A crisp sound landed on the ground, and the noise stopped instantly.
Han Shuyi glanced at the unconscious Su Xi and quickly went over to him. As soon as she helped him up, a strange fishy smell filled the air.
"Sit down and let me take a look."
Yu Yuxia told Lu Wuyai, then she got up and rushed over. As she approached Su Xi, she instinctively covered her nose.
Lu Wuyai watched as the two women, with their backs to him, groped around Su Xi's body, wondering what they were doing.
After a while, Su Xi woke up. Yu Yuxia and Han Shuyi looked at her with complicated expressions. They hesitated and couldn't speak, just like doctors facing patients in a hospital.
"You..." Han Shuyi sighed, clutching her chest.
"Why?" Yu Yuxia's expression was also somewhat sad.
Lu Wuyai was very curious. Was this a riddle?
Su Xi seemed perfectly normal, but when she looked at Lu Wuyai, there was something familiar in her usually cold eyes.
Three women sat around the campfire, their rustling sounds indescribable to outsiders.
Soon, Yu Yuxia returned and sat down next to Lu Wuyai.
Lu Wuyai couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did you just say?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that Su Xi is sick. Don't worry, she just needs to rest." Gu Yuxin said in a normal tone.
Lu Wuyai said "oh" but didn't take it seriously. However, when he went to rest that night, he found that Han Shuyi was on night watch, while Su Xi went into the forest and didn't return for a long time before going to rest.
"It's like the sun rising in the west," Lu Wuyai muttered. He never expected Han Shuyi to be keeping vigil.
At this point, Yu Yuxia urged Lu Wuyai to rest quickly.
After a long day of running, Lu Wuyai was exhausted. Furthermore, his wound had reopened. Less than a minute after lying down, Lu Wuyai started snoring.
By the campfire, Yu Yuxia and Han Shuyi looked at each other, then their gazes fell on Su Xi.
"Will I die?" Han Shuyi suddenly asked, her voice even trembling slightly.
Yu Yuxia shivered, then shook her head: "Probably not, but it's definitely bad news for women."
"Would it be like this if we couldn't leave the deserted island?" Han Shuyi asked with some doubt. People like her would eventually feel fear and worry.
Yu Yuxia shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, Han Shuyi's voice became somewhat ferocious.
"Actually, if you had killed that person on the desert island, this wouldn't have happened."
"Are you crazy?" Gu Yuxin immediately sat up straight. She never expected that Han Shuyi would have such thoughts because of Su Xi.
With a snort, Han Shuyi glanced coldly at the sleeping Lu Wuyai and sneered, "What? I can't bear to leave your lover. We haven't even officially started dating, but we're already protecting the little calf."
Yu Yuxia blushed, but quickly retorted, "Don't talk about these things. If you have such thoughts, you might as well show concern for Su Xi."
Su Xi was asleep by the campfire. Although her beautiful face was dirty, it was still very pretty.
"Why?" Yu Yuxin sighed. "Liu Gongming really has nothing left, and he even got Su Xi pregnant."
Han Shuyi's face was also extremely ugly: "Men are all beasts who can't control their lower bodies."
“However, I’ve already had a miscarriage once, and there wasn’t any heavy bleeding, just some erosion. Don’t tell Lu Wuyai about this yet,” Yu Yuxia said, glancing at Han Shuyi.
It doesn't matter whether you talk to him or not.
Han Shuyi knew about Tang Xin and Lu Wuyai's affair. Although she felt that Su Xi had done wrong, people are often inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm when it comes to life and death, which is understandable.
Yu Yuxin shook her head: "If Lu Wuyai knew about this, he would definitely fight with Liu Gongming."
"We've already broken up, is there any need for this?" Han Shuyi didn't quite understand; Lu Wuyai and Su Xi seemed more like enemies.
"Some people, even after breaking up, still care about the existence of the other relationship. We can't erase its existence just because we've separated." Yu Yuxia quoted a line from a movie, which seemed more like her explaining her own view on love.
Han Shuyi remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
The night was quiet.
The next day, as the morning light swept across the mountains and forests, the four of them set off again.
The traces left by Song Xiaoyou were almost at the base of the large trees. They were well hidden. There was one every few large trees, so they were not difficult to find along the way.
The only worrying thing is Lu Wuyai's speed, which seriously delays the team's progress.
"Why don't we go first, and you come with us?" Han Shuyi said.
"number"
Lu Wuyai refused on the spot, thinking that Han Shuyi might have done something wrong on the way.
And so the four of them walked and walked, and the next time, before dusk, they finally saw a tall mountain.
"Goed hiking again."
Lu Wuyai looked pained, feeling as if his wounds were about to burst open again.
It's already very late. With Lu Wuyai, Yu Yuxin, and the others, they definitely won't reach the summit. Therefore, it will be even more dangerous after dark.
Along the way, they dared not linger for too long. They always felt that there were other survivors behind them.
“You go to the top of the mountain to start a fire first. I’ll take Lu Wuyai and we’ll take our time,” Gu Yuxin said.
This time, Lu Wuyai didn't object. After all, it would soon be dark. It was predictable that Han Shuyi and Su Xi wouldn't dare travel at night. Reaching the mountaintop was the only way.
Han Shuyi glared at Lu Wuyai before leading Tang Xin up the mountain.
"How's the wound? Is it itchy?" Gu Yuxin asked gently.
Lu Wuyai moved his shoulder slightly and felt that it wasn't a big problem, except that he couldn't use his left hand. He felt that if he tightened his grip even slightly, his arm would feel like it was being torn apart.
“Grab my arm.” Gu Yuxin stretched out her arm. Lu Wuyai looked at the red scratches on it, some of which had even turned blue. He felt uncomfortable. He had caused her a lot of trouble along the way.
Seeing the guilt in Lu Wuyai's eyes, Yu Yuxia felt a strange sense of joy.
"Hurry up, it'll get dark if we don't leave soon," Gu Yuxin said angrily.
Lu Wuyai let out a breath, and this time he reached out and grasped Yu Yuxia's hand, their fingers intertwined. The warmth in his palm gave both of them goosebumps.
Why did you grab my hand and let me hold your arm?
For some unknown reason, Yu Yuxia felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and a feeling of weakness throughout her body.
“I don’t want to.” Lu Wuyai shook his head. “My arms are too weak; I can’t exert any strength.”
The two were locked in a stalemate for a while, and finally Yu Yuxia gave in, but bit Lu Wuyai hard before starting to climb the mountain.
But not long after, they noticed several figures suddenly leaping out from behind the dense vegetation. Startled, Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin quickly found a place to hide.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be Song Xiaoyou and Ye Meng.
Seeing them, Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
We are fine.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yu Mengru hugged Song Xiaoyou, feeling that the little boy was all soft flesh and had no bones at all. It felt so comfortable to touch.
At this point, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Gu Yuxin was unharmed, then looked at Lu Wuyai again with a look of disgust.
Lu Wuyai was depressed for a long time, secretly thinking that Su Xi had been dissatisfied with him ever since she inexplicably made him cry last time. So many days had passed, and he thought something would have changed, but it was still the same.
Later, Song Xiaoyou and Yu Mengru supported Lu Wuyai from both sides and inquired about the positioning transmitter along the way.
"I think I've found it." Su Xi's tone was somewhat helpless.
What does that mean?
"You'll see for yourselves later."
At the last moment before nightfall, the four finally reached the summit. Gazing at the endless hills in the shade, Lu Wuyai began to wonder for the first time whether the land beneath their feet was an island or a continent.
There was a huge gentle slope on the top of the mountain, and Su Xi and Han Shuyi were standing there at this moment.
Lu Wuyai and Yu Yuxin also walked over, stood still, and stuck their heads out. They saw a long rock protruding from the bottom of the gentle slope, with many monkeys standing on it, looking at them curiously.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai noticed that a monkey had vanished in a flash.
After he realized what was happening, he turned around and looked at Ye Meng, asking, "There's still an empty seat downstairs."
Su Xi nodded, a rather unseemly expression on her face: "There should be a cave down there. We used to chase monkeys, and most of them disappeared here, only coming out at night."
"Then you can be certain that the location transmitter is on these monkeys. Of course you can."
Su Xi said confidently, "Of course, we've been chasing them for two days now, and last night we saw the green light."
"We haven't let a single monkey escape from its hole all day today."
As she spoke, Su Xi turned to Han Shuyi and said, "As long as we can trap these monkeys, the rescue team will find this place sooner or later. Last time you said the locator transmitter had received the signal. According to the latest time, we have already passed four days, and we only need to wait three more days at most."
Three days isn't a long time. The only problem is that Liu Gongming's men might catch up with us.
"Liu Gongming's men." Upon hearing Yu Mengru's words, Ye Meng's face suddenly turned ugly.
But in fact, what Han Shuyi said next almost got her killed by Su Xi.
“We don’t have time to wait.” Han Shuyi looked calmly at the gully below the gentle slope and said, “When I made this locator, I added a biometric lock.”
"What do you mean?" Lu Wuyai looked at her, and the others also frowned.
"This locator can only continue to send signals if it is stained with my blood."
"There must be something wrong with you. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Lu Wuyai immediately grabbed Han Shuyi's arm. The fullness of the feeling made his heart pound, but it was quickly overshadowed by anger.
"Let me go." Han Shuyi shook her body, trying to break free.
With a snap.
Su Xi suddenly reached out and slapped Han Shuyi, and the mountaintop fell into a moment of silence.
"Go down and find the locator for me quickly."
Su Xi cursed for the first time, grabbed Han Shuyi, and pushed her down the mountain to find the GPS tracker.
This made Han Shuyi react even faster. Almost instantly, she pushed Su Xi beside her. The force of the push prevented her from falling down the mountain.
But Su Xi was in a terrible situation. She was standing on the edge of a gentle slope when the push sent her tumbling down the mountain.
At the critical moment, a hand reached out from the crowd and grabbed Su Xi, causing the two to fall off the mountain.
"Lu Wuyai".
"Han Shuyi, get out of here quickly."
Seeing Lu Wuyai and Su Xi disappear down the slope together, Su Xi was so angry that she was practically fuming. She punched Han Shuyi hard in the chest.
As for the others, they all rushed forward and quickly checked on Lu Wuyai and Su Xi's condition.
Su Xi lay on the ground in the ditch below the gentle slope, but he was still dazed because his head had hit the ground.
Lu Wuyai, holding a rock in one hand, was suspended in the air with a ferocious expression on his face.
"How could someone as stupid as me possibly save Su Xi?"
"And Han Shuyi, that treacherous little woman."
However, hearing the calls from the gentle slope warmed Lu Wuyai's heart.
Suddenly, a dirty hand pressed on Lu Wuyai's arm, and Su Xi's small face slowly emerged from the cleavage.
"Hang in there, I'll pull you up."
Su Xi looked at Lu Wuyai with a complicated expression. She never expected that this man would be the one to save her in the end.
If Lu Wuyai hadn't pushed her when she fell, she would have fallen off the cliff and died.
Lu Wuyai held his breath, the stabbing pain in his back constantly pressing on his nerves.
A few minutes later, the two lay on the rock wall, panting heavily. The secret passage was finally safe for the time being.
"Lu Wuyai, are you alright?"
"Lu Wuyai!" Dong Bingling also shouted, but it sounded more like excitement than excitement.
"Lu Wuyai, hold on, we'll use some tree bark to pull you up." This was Yu Yuxia's voice, mixed with some of Su Xi's curses, as if she were fighting with Han Shuyi.
On the rock-formed gully, Lu Wuyai had fully recovered his strength, but his clothes were completely stained with blood. If it had congealed, it would be easier to deal with.
Su Xi opened her mouth several times to help, but Lu Wuyai's cold gaze was like a knife, deeply engraved in her heart.
“My body is no longer clean, and my heart is dirty, so why should I be afraid of him?”
Su Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly, then stood up and walked towards Lu Wuyai.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai showed a look of disgust on his face and said, "What are you doing?"
"To heal your wounds." As she spoke, Su Xi placed her hand on Lu Wuyai's shoulder.
“I don’t need it.” Lu Wuyai turned around, but the compression of his back muscles hit his wound, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain.
Suddenly, he felt his back break into a piece of cotton, and the gentle touch almost made him cry.
He quickly realized that it was Su Xi who was hugging him. The crucial point was that she wasn't wearing underwear. The deadly temptation continued to spread through his senses.
Until Lu Wuyai remembered that betrayal, the evil flames disappeared, and he said coldly.
"What are you doing."
Sensing Lu Wuyai's sudden change, Su Xi could no longer hold back her tears. The grievances and experiences she had gone through during this time made her weep uncontrollably in this space where only the two of them were.
On the gentle slope, the women who were busy making tree ropes heard the crying and felt a strange pain in their chests.
Su Xi gave a cold snort: "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
No one sympathized with Su Xi. After all, the other party was in the wrong first, and no one could forgive her.
However, no one knows why Lu Wuyai, the victim just now, would go to save an assailant.
On the ditch, Lu Wuyai remained motionless. His clenched fist loosened several times, then clenched into a ball.
Finally, he noticed that Su Xi had stopped crying and began to carefully take off her clothes, tearing off a piece of clothing to gently wipe away the bloodstains from the edges of her wound.
A cool sensation made the hairs on Lu Wuyai's body stand on end.
Su Xi was actually kissing his wound. That cold touch, that unfamiliar contact with a woman, was something Lu Wuyai had never experienced before.
But he didn't know why, he just hated it, especially when he thought about how Su Xi had served another man in the same way before.
Lu Wuyai stood up from the ground, put on his clothes, turned around and looked at Su Xi with a blank expression, and found that the hatred in his heart had intensified.
It wasn't directed at Su Xi, but at Liu Gongming.
But the most important thing now is to find the transmitter.
Just as he had deduced from the gentle slope, the inside of the ravine was indeed a cave, but it was too dark for Lu Wuyai to determine what was inside.
At this moment, Su Xi also stood up from the ground, looking at Lu Wuyai with tears streaming down her face.
Suddenly, a green dot of light appeared not far from the ditch. Although it only flashed by, it still caught Lu Wuyai's eye.
But before Lu Wuyai could react, Su Xi had already walked over.
"Be careful," Lu Wuyai said instinctively, but regretted it immediately. Since he no longer cared about her, why did he even bother reminding her?
At this point, Su Xi felt inexplicably happy, especially since she had also caught the location transmitter.
Su Xi went outside and used the dim light outside to double-check what she was holding.
"Here you go." Su Xi handed it to Lu Wuyai, her expression radiant with happiness.
Lu Wuyai did not refuse. After taking the positioning transmitter, he put it directly into his pocket.
Unable to make a rope in time, the two sat on opposite sides of the ditch, temporarily enjoying the desolate island under the moonlight.
As for the monkeys in the cave, a few would occasionally appear and sit between the two of them. The bolder ones would even approach them. They would chatter for a while, then disappear down the steep rock face onto the tripod in the mountains.
On the gentle slope, everyone else knew that Lu Wuyai had obtained the positioning transmitter, so they all wanted to hurry up and pull the two of them up together.
As time passed and night fell, everyone could occasionally hear the roars of wild beasts in the forest.
By this point, Lu Wuyai was almost asleep. The pain in his back had long since gone numb, turning into aches and discomfort. The mountain wind was cold, especially at the edge of the cliff, making him shiver.
"Are you cold?" Su Xi's voice came from the other side.
