Once Lu Lingxi is found, the next thing will be easy.
The group planned to return to the village first, and then return to the rain forest tomorrow to look for the body of the drug dealer dragged away by the python. Out of caution, both Yan Yue and Wu Jiang had to see the body with their own eyes.
The reason why Yan Yue was willing to lead the police was because the drug dealers had already targeted him and Xiaoxi, and he didn't want to worry about drug dealers appearing in front of them during these days in Kunnan. Now the other drug dealers are either dead or arrested, leaving only one missing. Since Lu Lingxi had completely offended the drug dealer, he had to make sure that the other party was really dead, and he couldn't leave a hidden danger that might suddenly explode at any time.
After some discussion, in order to avoid getting lost in the rainforest, everyone decided to return the same way. Although this might lead to encountering giant pythons, they had a lot of weapons with them and were not afraid of the giant pythons.
Speaking of weapons, Lu Lingxi handed the gun in his hand to Fang Lei. Fang Lei took it and found that the safety bolt of the gun was on. Fortunately, Lu Lingxi ran and jumped all the way and nothing happened. After he said this, Lu Lingxi didn't think anything, but Yan Yue was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He resisted the urge to hold Lu Lingxi in his arms and touch him again. He held Lu Lingxi's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Lu Lingxi noticed Yan Yue's nervousness and whispered, "Brother Yan, I'm fine. I know you will come to find me."
His tone was so sure that Yan Yue's heart softened. She wished she could kiss Lu Lingxi fiercely and hold him in her heart, so that they would be connected by blood and never be separated. Unfortunately, the environment was not suitable, and there was a third party who made trouble - the little monkey.
Squeak.
The little monkey hugged Lu Lingxi's neck tightly, and was very hostile to Yan Yue. It still remembered that it was this man who had snatched Lu Lingxi away from it just now.
Yan Yue smiled bitterly and was extremely indulgent towards the little monkey. Not only because Lu Lingxi liked the little monkey, but also because the little monkey saved Lu Lingxi's life. He had heard from Lu Lingxi how they escaped, and was extremely grateful to the little monkey. He tried to reach out his hand to touch the little monkey in a gentle manner, but the little monkey slapped his hand away without hesitation.
Yan Yue: “…”
Lu Lingxi smiled with his eyes curved, and rubbed the monkey's furry head in a soothing manner. Although he was still in the rain forest, and the surroundings were dark and shadowy due to the light, it was indescribably strange, but walking beside Yan Yue, holding the little monkey in his arms, he completely lost his previous fear and felt very relaxed.
"Stop for a moment." Wu Jiang's voice sounded at the front, "Something seems to be wrong."
Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi looked at each other, walked forward a few steps, stood next to Wu Jiang and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Jiang was about to speak when Fang Lei shone his flashlight into the bushes on the left and suddenly stopped. Everyone looked in the direction of the light. In the bushes, a black giant python was like an ancient beast, with a body as thick as a basin coiled up, looking at them coldly with its head raised.
Everyone instinctively picked up their weapons. The giant python did not move. It just looked at everyone indifferently and turned to swim deeper into the rain forest. As the giant python left, everyone discovered that there was another slightly smaller python in the bushes. The python seemed to be dead, lying stiffly in the bushes without moving. There was also a human male corpse placed next to it. The situation looked indescribably weird.
Fang Lei and the others had heard Lu Lingxi talk about his previous escape experience and had vaguely guessed something.
"It's that drug dealer." Lu Lingxi confirmed their guess.
Wu Jiang sent someone to take a look and found that the giant python in the bushes was indeed dead, having been shot to death. As for the drug dealer next to it, it looked like he had been strangled to death.
"Snakes are evil animals. They are obviously back for revenge."
A policeman behind him whispered, and Wu Jiang waved his hand to stop him from talking. The revenge of the giant python had nothing to do with them. What was important was that the drug dealer was dead, and the operation was a huge success, so they would have less trouble tomorrow.
"Let's go, let's go back."
After this episode, the rest of the journey went smoothly and the group soon reached the edge of the rainforest.
Squeak.
The sound of monkeys came from the tree above his head, and the little monkey in Lu Lingxi's arms also squeaked. He knew that the monkey group had come to pick up the little monkey, so he pinched the little monkey's paw reluctantly and said softly, "We'll see each other again, little monkey."
The little monkey squeaked twice, and its other paw clung tightly to Lu Lingxi's neck. Lu Lingxi felt soft in his heart, and he was reluctant to part with the little monkey. But the little monkey belonged to this rainforest, there was a tribe of little monkeys here, and it lived freely here, so he couldn't selfishly take the little monkey away from here.
"Go back." Lu Lingxi whispered.
The squeaking sound in the tree became louder. The leading monkey seemed very anxious and called out to the little monkey eagerly. The little monkey looked up, then looked at Lu Lingxi, then slowly jumped from Lu Lingxi's arms to the tree, squatting on the branch and quietly watching Lu Lingxi. Several monkeys jumped to its side, and the leading monkey touched the little monkey's head. A group of monkeys squatted there and watched Lu Lingxi and his group leave the rain forest and return to the village.
Wang Chaoliang's colleagues, two staff members of the botanical garden workstation, had not slept, waiting for Wang Chaoliang and Xiaoxi to be rescued. When they heard the news that they had returned to the village, they came to greet them excitedly, and when they saw Wang Chaoliang's bruised face, they almost cried.
He didn't notice it in the rain forest before, but when he came back and shone the light, the bruises on Wang Chaoliang's face were extremely shocking. Although Lu Lingxi was not as scary as him, he also had some scratches on the corners of his mouth. Yan Yue hurriedly said hello to Wu Jiang and Fang Lei, and said that they would talk about it tomorrow. He wanted to take Lu Lingxi back to rest first.
Without outsiders around, Yan Yue stripped Lu Lingxi naked in a few seconds, touched his entire body to check it out, and confirmed that except for some bruises on his cheeks and arms, there was nothing wrong with the rest of Lu Lingxi.
Wrapped in a blanket, Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue somewhat embarrassedly and said softly, "Brother Yan, I'm fine. It's Uncle Wang who has been beaten."
Although it was a bit too much to think so, Yan Yue was actually glad that it was Wang Chaoliang who got beaten. He couldn't imagine Lu Lingxi being beaten as badly as Wang Chaoliang. If that was the case, even if the drug dealer died, he would not be able to resist shooting the corpse a few more times.
Yan Yue thought so, opened his arms and gently embraced Lu Lingxi. Perhaps because of the trauma of Lu Lingxi's injury, he didn't dare to use too much force, and was very careful, as if he was holding an expensive porcelain. Lu Lingxi leaned obediently in Yan Yue's arms, her soft hair pressed against Yan Yue's neck. Yan Yue lowered his head slightly and sniffed the unique rainforest fragrance on Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi raised his face, his eyes full of dependence and trust. He leaned forward and took the initiative to kiss Yan Yue, whispering, "Brother Yan, I love you."
This sentence was like a fuse, and the suppressed volcano in Yan Yue's body burst out. He rubbed Lu Lingxi fiercely in his arms, and couldn't wait to hold the boy's lips, kissing him hard, tossing and lingering.
The blanket on Lu Lingxi slipped off, revealing his fair skin, healthy and flexible body, which was breathtakingly beautiful. Yan Yue pressed him under him, and through the connection of their bodies, he expressed all his feelings for Lu Lingxi.
The anger when he first heard that Lu Lingxi was held hostage, the anxiety during the search for Lu Lingxi, the ecstasy when he heard Lu Lingxi's voice, and the peace of mind when he finally held Lu Lingxi in his arms. After everything was settled, the previous hardships seemed like a dream, and he just wanted to be with Lu Lingxi forever and never be separated again.
"Xiaoxi."
Yan Yue called Lu Lingxi's name gently and stroked his lips. Lu Lingxi raised the corners of his mouth, rubbed comfortably in Yan Yue's arms, and whispered: "Brother Yan, I'm sleepy."
Yan Yue smiled and kissed him, saying softly, "Then go to sleep. I'll stay with you."
Lu Lingxi hummed and closed his eyes, then thought of something, opened his eyes and looked at Yan Yue seriously, "Brother Yan, don't tell mom about what happened today, otherwise she will worry."
"I know." Yan Yue whispered, kissing Lu Lingxi's forehead lovingly.
Lu Lingxi was completely relieved now, and fell asleep while holding Yan Yue. When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Although Lu Lingxi told Yan Yue not to tell Wang Shuxiu about this, Yan Yue still simply told Xiao Feng about it, and also said hello to Zhang and Zhao from Kunnan.
The orchid exhibition at the Botanical Garden opened today. Lu Lingxi had originally agreed with Mr. Zhang to go back this morning at the latest. Now that he had broken his promise, he had to let them know. Hearing that Lu Lingxi was held hostage by drug dealers and almost got into trouble, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao became anxious and refused to watch the orchid exhibition. They insisted on coming to the border to see Lu Lingxi. Yan Yue had to tell them that he would take Lu Lingxi back to Kunnan when he woke up, and there was no need for the two old men to bother anymore.
After dealing with the two old men, Wang Chaoliang came over again. Looking at the oily substance Wang Chaoliang placed in front of him, Yan Yue looked puzzled, "What is this?"
Wang Chaoliang couldn't hide his excitement even with a swollen face. He said, "This was found by a little monkey on a tree last night. Judging from the little monkey's reaction, this thing can be ignited. I took the instrument at the workstation to test it this morning. Do you know what this is?"
"What?"
Wang Chaoliang was incredulous and shouted, "This is oil. The composition of this thing when it burns is exactly the same as diesel. It does not require any processing and can be used directly as diesel. Can you believe it?"
Yan Yue reacted, "You mean this is coming from a certain tree?"
"Yes, yes." Wang Chaoliang nodded, "This discovery is simply amazing. Yan Yue, you should know what this means."
"certainly."
Just like bamboo replacing steel, if it is true as Wang Chaoliang said, then this tree that can produce oil will be even more incredible than bamboo. It is simply an oil mine in front of them.
