Lin Yunfei sat in the living room watching the news.
Seeing Lin Yi come out holding a slender steel rod, she suddenly stood up from the sofa: "Brother, what are you doing with that?"
Lin Yi turned and glanced at Lin Yunfei: "I'm worried about Jian Zhizhen, I want to go and check on him."
Lin Yunfei had been secretly hoping that Jian Zhizhen would get into trouble, but now that she heard him say this, all her expectations vanished.
She hurriedly chased after Lin Yi and grabbed his wrist, blurting out in her anxiety, a far cry from her usual gentle and sensible demeanor: "You're not allowed to go! What does Jian Zhizhen's accident have to do with you? She's just a guest on your show, why would you risk your life to save her?"
"..." Lin Yi couldn't explain it either, but he was very worried.
He couldn't just stay home and wait.
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing." Lin Yi didn't mind her assertiveness, taking it as her being overly worried about him.
He offered her a few words of comfort and tried to pull his hand away, but found that Lin Yunfei was holding on very tightly.
Lin Yunfei's eyes reddened with anxiety: "What can you do if you go? You'll only cause trouble for the police. Please don't go."
Lin Yi gave a slight smile, nodded, and said, "I know. I'll search at the foot of the mountain; maybe I'll find some clues."
He wouldn't go up the mountain rashly, otherwise he might also lose contact, which would cause trouble for the police.
But there's really no way to wait for news at home.
Lin Yunfei was frantic and at a loss: "But the leader of the robbers is still on the run. He's inhuman... Don't go... Brother, I beg you, please don't go..."
Lin Yi pulled her hand away and comforted her, "I will come back safely."
After saying that, he left home without looking back.
When Lin Yunfei tried to chase after him, she discovered that Lin Yi had locked the door from the outside.
Lin Yunfei frantically pounded on the door, repeatedly calling out "Brother"...
But there was no response from outside the door.
Her tears instantly burst forth, and she kicked and pounded the door in a fit of rage, releasing the love and grievances that had been suppressed in her heart.
In her previous life, the robbers were caught off guard by Jian Zhizhen, and she easily and smoothly turned the tables on them. At that time, news reports came out saying that all the robbers had been captured.
In this life, she made a grand display to warn the robbers to be wary of Jian Zhizhen, giving the robber leader a chance to survive, while Jian Zhizhen disappeared without a trace.
But if this causes anything to Lin Yi, then she has personally killed the person she loved for two lifetimes!
Then she would have no motivation to live the rest of her life.
...
In the primeval forest of Qingshan.
Qin Yubai and the other boys collected a lot of things that could be burned.
Besides dead branches and leaves, there were also animal droppings, mountain bike tires, and other items, presumably left behind by adventurous hikers.
These items are flammable and produce thick black smoke when burned, making them particularly noticeable and easy for search and rescue teams to spot.
The girls were leading the children in making fire by friction, which could be considered as conducting outdoor education for them.
However, many children's palms turned red from being rubbed raw, but they still couldn't start a fire.
Zhen Xiaohui noticed that Jian Zhizhen hadn't started a fire, but was instead playing with a round stone and a stick, so she curiously went over and asked, "Sister Zhenzhen, what is this?"
Hearing this, the other children also gathered around, curiously staring at what Jian Zhizhen was holding.
Jian Zhizhen inserted the stick into the disc-shaped stone, then took out a rope, threaded it through the stone, and wrapped it around the stick on both sides.
She glanced at the children in front of her and asked with a smile, "Children, have you ever played with spinning buttons?"
Everyone shook their heads: "No."
Chien Chih-chen thought about it and agreed. Nowadays, children are exposed to high-end electronic toys and exquisite and cute plush dolls from birth... and rarely play with those ancient toys that require hands-on activities.
"Let me demonstrate for you."
Chien Chih-chen herself was wearing a pullover T-shirt today, without buttons.
She turned around and looked at Qin Yubai behind her: "Senior Qin, can you do me a favor?"
Qin Yubai put down the withered branch in his hand, turned around and walked to her side, squatted down and looked at her: "What?"
Jian Zhizhen raised her hand, grabbed the button on his collar that wasn't fastened properly, and gently tugged it.
Qin Yubai was caught off guard and was pulled forward, almost falling on top of her.
Fortunately, he managed to stay steady at very close range.
He subconsciously looked down and saw the sly smile in her eyes.
Qin Yubai frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, and looked down at her lips, which were so close to his.
If it weren't for the crowds here...
"Lend me your buttons." Jian Zhizhen explained her intentions to him, and then began to unbutton his buttons.
She thought she would be cool enough to just rip the buttons off his collar, like those characters in TV dramas during passionate scenes, where they yank their clothes and the buttons pop off.
I didn't expect Qin Yubai's clothes to be of such good quality. The buttons were sewn on so securely that I couldn't get them off no matter how hard I tried.
Instead, it messed up his collar, revealing his perfectly shaped neck and most of his collarbone.
Jian Zhizhen was dumbfounded.
Qin Yubai truly had to admit defeat...
He awkwardly removed Jian Zhizhen's hand, saying, "I can do it myself."
He ripped off the button and shoved it into her hand.
Jian Zhizhen silently withdrew her gaze from his handsome collarbone, and quietly took out a small section of hemp rope that she had just picked up, separating the rope into strands.
Then thread the thin thread through the button, and twist the button a few times to make the string twist together.
Then pull on both ends of the rope, and the button will start spinning.
