The mountain road was rugged, and the temperature was low at night, so the road was full of slippery ice. Despite the shade of the trees, it was dark everywhere. Even with a flashlight, it was no better than during the day, and you had to be extra careful every time you stepped.
"Su Youqing! Jiang Xueqin!"
Song Zhi shouted the two names along with everyone else, but received no response.
"Everyone, be careful. There's a very slippery spot ahead."
Zhuang Haoen, who was walking in front, looked back from time to time to remind them.
Climbing the mountain and looking for people at the same time is really tiring.
Song Zhi and Nie Jinmei were not in good physical condition. They were already out of breath and their legs were weak.
"ah!"
Nie Jinmei missed a step and fell on the road in an extremely twisted posture. Fortunately, Rong Zhengqing was quick to grab her arm and prevented her from rolling down the mountain road.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Song Zhi quickly turned around and saw Nie Jinmei sitting on the ground with a pale face. He asked anxiously.
"Can you still stand up?"
Nie Jinmei's eyes were red from the pain, and it took her a long time to recover. She tried to struggle, but she couldn't stand up, and the slightest movement of her feet caused her to feel severe pain.
"It must have been twisted. Stop moving."
Song Zhi squatted down and shone the flashlight on her feet, and saw that her ankles were swollen.
In this situation, Nie Jinmei definitely couldn't continue looking for someone.
Zhuang Haoen immediately handed the flashlight to Song Ruanruan, walked over to Nie Jinmei, squatted down, and said, "I'll carry you back to the dormitory for treatment."
"This isn't good..." Nie Jinmei felt a little embarrassed.
She was embarrassed to let a strange man carry her.
Zhuang Haoen seemed to see through her intention and said, "I'm strong and fast. If you delay any longer, your injury will get worse."
"Yes, Jinmei, let Brother Zhuang take you back for treatment first. If you have injured your bones, the longer you delay, the more serious the situation will be."
Rong Zhengqing also advised, and then she said something to Zhuang Haoen.
"I'm an old educated youth. I'm familiar with all the mountain roads. I'll lead the team from now on. You should take Comrade Nie back quickly."
Zhuang Haoen nodded, squatted in front of Nie Jinmei again, and motioned her to lie on his back.
Nie Jinmei glanced at them guiltily and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I've burdened you."
"Don't think too much, go back and check your feet and have a good rest."
Song Zhi patted her shoulder comfortingly and helped her onto Zhuang Haoen's back.
After watching the two leave, Rong Zhengqing said to them kindly, "Let's continue looking."
Not long after walking, Rong Zhengqing suddenly stopped and spoke awkwardly to Song Zhi and Song Ruanruan behind him.
"I need to pee. Can you guys wait for me in the open space in front?"
"Okay." Song Zhi responded and walked forward.
Song Ruanruan quickly caught up with her.
The mountain road was pitch black, and Song Ruanruan really didn't dare to stay alone. Even though she didn't like Song Zhi, she still followed her closely.
The two waited for a long time, until their feet were numb from the cold, but Rong Zhengqing still hadn't come back.
"Why hasn't Rong Zhengqing come back in so long?" Song Ruanruan looked around fearfully. A gust of cold wind blew, and her back felt cold. She complained, "It takes so long just to pee. It's really speechless."
She glanced in the direction Rong Zhengqing had just left, and could only barely make out some swaying tree shadows, which looked like monsters staring at them hungrily in the darkness.
Song Ruanruan became even more frightened and moved closer to Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was too lazy to pay attention to her and found a rock to sit down and wait.
Suddenly, Song Ruanruan pinched Song Zhi's clothes with a trembling voice and said nervously: "Song Zhi, did you hear any sound?"
"Nothing..." Song Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. As she finished speaking, her face suddenly changed and she looked around vigilantly.
She seemed to hear a sound similar to the panting of a wild beast.
After a while, five or six pairs of green eyes emerged from the grass.
With the help of the flashlight, Song Zhi immediately recognized that these were all wild wolves!
They actually encountered a wild wolf!
Song Ruanruan was so frightened that she screamed: "It's a wolf! Ah! What should we do? We won't die here!"
She was so scared that she hid behind Song Zhi.
Song Zhi's ears hurt from her sharp voice.
"Shut up!"
Seeing that the wolves looked at them with even more ferocious eyes, her heart sank and she cursed in a low voice.
Song Ruanruan was frightened out of her wits and had no mind to care about Song Zhi's attitude at the moment. She just hid behind Song Zhi tremblingly.
Song Zhi was not in a much better condition. Her back was soaked with cold sweat and her palms were covered in sticky sweat.
She stared at the wolves closely, forced herself to remain calm, picked up a stone from the ground, and looked at those pairs of green eyes intimidatingly.
At this time, they must never show fear.
If they showed any fear, they would be at a disadvantage and the wolves would pounce on them immediately.
"Stand back."
Song Zhi lowered his voice and spoke to Song Ruanruan, who was hanging on him like a burden.
Now they could only slowly return the same way while the wild wolf was still observing them.
The wild wolves had nothing to eat in the winter, and each one was skinny. Song Zhi acted so strong that they didn't dare to come forward for a while.
Song Ruanruan hurriedly imitated Song Zhi and slowly backed away.
But staring at those pairs of green eyes, she was still very scared.
Looking at Song Zhi's straight back in front of her, a light suddenly flashed in her mind and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
If someone could help her attract the wolves' attention now, she could escape!
Once this thought came to her mind, she couldn't stop it. Song Ruanruan swallowed and stared at Song Zhi's back.
She gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, reached out her hand to Song Zhi's back, and pushed her forward.
Song Zhi never expected that Song Ruanruan would attack him. He was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground by her.
When Song Ruanruan saw that the wolves' attention was instantly attracted by her, she quickly ran away!
Song Zhi fell to the ground, looking at Song Ruanruan's receding back with red eyes, and almost biting his teeth.
Song Ruan Ruan!
The wolves quickly surrounded her, and even though she quickly stood up, she was still surrounded by the wolves.
Looking at the wolves around her that kept panting at her, Song Zhi felt her scalp tingling.
In her current condition, there is absolutely no way she can escape.
She bit her lower lip in despair, wishing she could cut Song Ruanruan into pieces.
I'm going to be killed by an idiot like Song Ruanruan in this life. I might as well not be reborn!
