"Warning, warning, due to unknown reasons, the drop-off location is incorrect. Please follow the map instructions and return to Qinghe Village."
The thick treetops gathered overhead, blocking out the sun.
The sunlight can only shine sparsely through the gaps between the leaves, making it appear dark and hazy. This is an unknown forest.
The girl walked down slowly on the soft soil, her white flat shoes were already dirty.
There was a layer of dirt stuck to the soles of my shoes, making them too heavy to lift my legs.
"Huh, so tired..."
It was summer now, and the chirping of cicadas echoed overhead.
Ruan Mian was wearing a light pink off-shoulder floral dress distributed by the system, which just covered her knees.
She didn't expect to fall into the forest. If she had known, she would have changed into sportswear.
In this shadow, the trees grow densely and tower into the sky.
Their trunks are so thick that some require several people to hug them.
The girl walked for more than ten minutes and reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Through the gap, she could see a village nestled at the foot of the mountain and beside the water. That was her destination.
The girl's flawless skin was dotted with crystal beads of sweat, and the tips of her inky black hair were slightly bent and rested lightly on her delicate collarbone.
From time to time, strange chirping sounds could be heard from the dense bushes, like the cries of ghosts.
"There won't be any wild animals here, will there?"
Ruan Mian's heart was pounding and he turned his head to look around anxiously.
According to the introduction, Qinghe Village is surrounded by mountains and has inconvenient transportation. Due to the geographical environment, there are few outsiders and the natural economic conditions are not good.
The mountains and forests are dense, and there are still many unknown areas that have not been explored.
It’s hard to say whether there are any ferocious beasts.
She was walking steadily, but a hare suddenly appeared from nowhere, brushed past the girl's calf and ran away.
The soft touch startled her so much that she stepped on a dead tree stump and her body tilted and fell to the ground.
The place where the leaves should have been suddenly collapsed under the weight of the body, forming a deep pit.
“Hmm!”
Ruan Mian fell to the bottom and looked up to find that the hole was at least two meters high and there was no way to climb up.
How could such a strange thing appear in the mountains?
A thick dampness filled the air, and the stench of decay was nauseating.
The girl covered her nose. Her ankle was twisted when she fell down, and it was painful and swollen.
Because of her fair skin, the injuries looked very creepy.
"Is anyone there?"
Faint cries for help came from the depths of the forest for a long time.
The girl's lips were bitten by her until they turned bright red. It was so painful and cold.
Unable to bask in the sun, the cold gradually began to creep in from the soles of her feet, and her body was shaking.
Maybe it was because of the fever. Ruan Mian felt dizzy and heavy in the head. He was too tired to open his eyes, and the air was so thin that he could hardly breathe.
A dark figure blocked the dim light, and the girl could only vaguely make out that it was a man, and then she fainted.
Ling Yue frowned and looked down at the trap he had made, where a weak and unconscious girl was lying.
The hem of her skirt was stained with mud, and her fair skin was scratched by the rough stones, leaving many tiny wounds.
It doesn't look like a local, it might be a foreign tourist who accidentally entered the hunting area.
“What a hassle.”
He supported himself with his hands and jumped down easily, landing next to Ruan Mian. After checking, he found that the girl was not seriously injured, but was just poisoned by miasma.
He lifted her onto his shoulders and climbed out of the trap, re-laying the leaves on the surface.
The man wore a wear-resistant camouflage jacket made of cotton and linen, which was not only dirt-proof but also easy to blend into the mountain environment and would not alert the prey.
He is a hunter, with a machete on his waist. He is tall and strong, with tight and powerful muscles.
The girl was held upside down on the strong shoulders, which hurt her soft belly and even made her feel like vomiting.
Ling Yue has been running in the mountains and forests for many years and is quite familiar with the terrain. His steps are steady and decisive.
Ruan Mian woke up in the bumpy ride, and saw an upside-down scene in front of her. Her stomach was churning and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Put me... down."
The man ignored her words and walked down the mountain on the mud.
His calloused palms clasped the girl's legs tightly to prevent her from falling.
Just out of the forest, stepping onto flat ground.
Ling Yue put her down, and the girl stood on tiptoe on her injured foot.
I touched my aching belly and could vaguely see some redness and swelling through the thin fabric.
Spoiled.
The man strode ahead without any thought of caring about her.
The girl followed behind, skipping and hopping, holding up her purple ankle.
"Wait for me, okay?"
I just came out of the miasma-filled woods and suddenly breathed in the fresh air. I felt that my lungs were not used to it and were a little sore.
The fields were filled with tall corn stalks, easily blocking Ruan Mian's view.
She fell behind and gradually lost sight of the man.
Ling Yue turned around again, and never expected that the little fool had lost his way and was still wandering around.
Qinghe Village mainly relies on planting for its livelihood, and now is the time when corn is growing vigorously.
The girl looked at the dense corn stalks, always afraid that a wild beast would come out from them.
The corners of my eyes turned red, I was afraid...
Ling Yue went back and when he couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to curse, he found that the little guy was crying.
A pair of glass-like eyes were filled with transparent tears, and he thought nonsensically that it was a bit cute.
He couldn't bear to blame her for walking slowly, and the man's sharp face lost some of its hostility.
He squatted with his back to her and cleared his throat.
"Come up, I'll carry you."
Since the girl was injured because of his trap, it is his responsibility to help her get treatment.
The man's back was broad and strong, and Ruan Mian lay softly on him.
