Chapter 352: Read the Last One
No one else can help with these things, so Mo Chenyan can only search for clues alone.
After searching the last nearby tree stump, Lin Ze came to him and asked, "Sir, is there anything?"
“Neither.”
Even if the tree had been cut down, there would always be something familiar nearby, but he didn't see any.
"Shall we move to another place? Or should we go out first? It's going to snow."
Yun Lanyue looked at the sky and saw that the accumulated clouds were becoming thicker and thicker, and there would definitely be a snowstorm soon.
Lin Ze felt uneasy and followed Yun Lanyue's advice, saying, "Sir, why don't we leave first?"
Lil couldn't understand what they were saying, so he looked at the look on the man in the lead and guessed something.
"Boss, didn't you find the plum tree? I know there are more on the mountain. We can still go further inside."
Lin Ze explained that the safest thing to do now was to go down the mountain because of the snow.
Lil looked up at the sky and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, there's enough for us to walk further inside. As long as we get down the mountain before dark, it'll be fine. Oh, believe me, I've lived here for more than ten years."
Mo Chenyan was unwilling to give up after all. He wanted to walk further inside. Maybe the next tree, or the tree after that, would be the plum tree he was looking for.
"Keep looking."
After saying that, he followed Lil up the mountain.
Yun Lanyue was not surprised to hear this answer. She discovered that Mo Chenyan was obsessed with finding the plum tree.
The group of eleven continued to climb the mountain.
Yun Lanyue broke off a branch and used it as a hiking stick to walk along the slippery mountain road.
Everyone was silent, and the mountain wind was very noisy.
"Huh, there's a plum tree not far ahead. I remember it was taller than me, and the plum blossoms were especially beautiful."
Lil walked in the mountains and forests for such a long time carrying a hunting rifle, and except for his slightly rapid breathing, he did not show any signs of fatigue.
He raised his hand and pointed excitedly ahead.
"God, I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. I hope I don't encounter any wild animals."
Mo Chenyan looked in the direction of his finger, but he saw nothing among the mountains and forests dotted with snow.
The thought of seeing the red plum tree again made his steps more hurried.
Yun Lanyue walked out of the thick snow pile, one step deep and one step shallow. She shook the snow off her hat and looked at the sky worriedly.
A blizzard is about to fall.
She had some hope in her heart, thinking that maybe she was wrong, after all, Lil was a local.
But now, she felt the chill spreading in the air, and bits of snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky.
If they wait a little longer, and the snow gets heavier, they will be trapped in the mountains and forests.
However, the survival supplies they and their bodyguards carried might not be enough to sustain them in the mountains for that long.
"No, we must return immediately."
Yun Lanyue grabbed Mo Chenyan and said, "The mountain is blocked by a blizzard. It's dangerous for us to stay here!"
"We'll find it soon."
Mo Chenyan held her hand with his backhand, his tone strangely excited, "We're almost there. I have a hunch that the red plum tree is right up ahead!"
“What’s more important, trees or human life?”
Yun Lanyue dragged his arm and stopped, "Mo Chenyan, wake up a little. There are so many of us. Are you going to put us in danger just for your red plum tree?"
Mo Chenyan hung his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head and said softly, "I must take her home. I just want to see her again."
The man's eyes were as black as ink, with red at the corners.
Yun Lanyue couldn't understand the complex emotions in his eyes, nor did she know who he was talking about.
But she felt his determination, he was unwilling to leave like this.
Lil was still leading the way. He waved his hand and said, "We'll be there soon. Follow me."
"Lin Ze, please help me persuade him. He is not sober, but you are."
The sky darkened slightly, and visibility in the mountains and forests became even lower.
Lin Ze believed Yun Lanyue's words, but he also understood Mo Chenyan's insistence, and leaving at this moment was the best solution.
"Sir, Miss Yun is right. Lil knows this place. We can come back next time. The snow is falling heavier."
In a short period of time, a thin layer of snow covered everyone's heads and shoulders.
Lil looked up at the sky and walked back cursing, "The blizzard is coming early. We have to leave."
He said this, which is enough to show how dangerous it is in the mountains blocked by blizzard.
Mo Chenyan was unwilling to leave like this, "You guys go back, don't worry about me. Lin Ze, take Yun Lanyue away."
Lin Ze lost his voice: "Sir, I can't leave!"
Leaving Mo Chenyan here, isn't that sending him to death? There's no way he would do such a thing.
Lil cherishes his life more than anyone else. "Boss, we can't waste any more time!"
Yun Lanyue and Lin Ze stood on the left and right, persuading Mo Chenyan to leave.
But the man stood firmly where he was and refused to leave.
Yun Lanyue stomped her feet. The stubborn man was willing to die rather than leave.
"Lil, how far is it to the nearest plum tree you mentioned?"
"About 500 meters, you can see it when you go around the front."
Yun Lanyue stood in front of Mo Chenyan and said in a low voice, "Mo Chenyan, after we see this last tree, we will return immediately."
