Her phone has a very strong night shooting function; even in the dark, it takes clearer photos than many other phones.
A small section of denim fabric peeked out from behind the tree trunk, with a silver button on it.
It was precisely the light reflected from this button that caught the sharp-eyed Luo Shimiao's attention.
Luo Shimiao put her finger to her lips to signal for silence, and the two of them kept staring at that spot.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the piece of fabric moved, and the next moment a man's face appeared in the shot.
His complexion was sallow, and his eyes were sunken; even at night, you could see his dark circles were very noticeable.
After realizing he had been discovered, the man gave the camera a chilling smile.
He stepped out from behind the tree, reached his hand to his lower back, and then suddenly let his hand fall back down.
Without hesitation, Luo Shimiao pulled Hao Yun and ran up the mountain.
This man has a gun!
When did he start following them? There were so many fallen leaves on the ground; she would have definitely noticed if they were walking.
But we didn't hear any footsteps just now, so there's only one possibility: he was hiding in the tree and secretly slid down after spotting them.
Hearing footsteps behind them, Hao Yun panicked and cried out, "Shi Miao, why didn't we call for help?"
“There are at least five men down there. If we shout for help, we can definitely beat them.”
“He has a gun, and I’m afraid that if I push him too far, he might shoot them.”
Hao Yun was exhausted after running for only a short time.
Seeing this, Luo Shimiao hoisted her onto his shoulder and nimbly darted through the woods.
"Hao Yun, call Director Jiang and tell those photographers to come down the mountain quickly and then call the police."
"Okay, okay." Hao Yun unlocked the phone and saw that it had no signal at all. He was so anxious that he almost cried: "My phone has no signal!"
"This phone takes great photos, but the signal is just so-so. Sometimes the signal is weak even in the garage, let alone in the mountains."
Luo Shimiao's eyes lit up; he had another idea: "Little Green, you've been conserving your energy for so long, it's time for you to make your move."
Little Green stuck its head out and said, "Would they believe a bird?"
“Tell Director Jiang that if he doesn’t believe me, I’ll withdraw my investment.”
"Then be careful, if you die I'll inherit your property."
"Get lost! You can't even dream about it!"
Little Green flapped its wings and flew into the sky, bursting out of the woods and swooping down the mountain following the lights at its foot.
It wanted to notify the photographers on its way down the mountain, but it was too dark and easy to get lost, so it had to fly down first.
...
The man behind them was in hot pursuit.
He cursed under his breath: "Damn! You guys can really run. If I catch you, I'll chop your feet off."
With reddened eyes, Hao Yun said, "Now that's bad. The fake chase has turned into a real one. We're not going to die here tonight, are we?"
"No, don't overthink it." Luo Shimiao glanced back, then suddenly sped up, using the tall trees to conceal his body and confuse his opponent.
The other party is holding a powerful flashlight. Only by throwing him far away can we have a chance to hide Hao Yun and then deal with him.
......
Little Green flew down to the foot of the mountain and saw Director Jiang leading his staff and other actors up the mountain.
She quickly flew to his side and said, "You can't go up there. There are bad people on the mountain. Miaomiao sent me down to inform you."
Everyone stopped and looked at each other. After filming for so many days, they all knew that these were Luo Shimiao's birds.
Director Jiang was skeptical: "Really? Then why didn't they call for help? What are we afraid of with so many of us?"
“That guy has a gun. Go and call the people upstairs down. Oh, and call the police.” Xiao Lü turned to look at the mountaintop. “My Miao Miao said that if you don’t believe her, you can withdraw your investment.”
After saying that, it flew up the mountain without looking back; it couldn't abandon her.
Jiang Cheng said to his assistant, "Ah Long, they're not far from us. You guys go up and call them down, but don't make such a commotion."
"OK."
After they left, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and called the police.
........
Seeing that the lights behind him had disappeared, Luo Shimiao put Hao Yun under a big tree, then turned off the lights and shut down the phone to prevent it from making a sound.
He shoved two phones into her hands and said, "Squat down and don't make a sound. If he notices you, smash the phones right in his eyes."
Hao Yun gripped her phone tightly, her voice trembling with tears as she asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here beside you, don't be afraid."
"Uh-huh."
Luo Shimiao dug a clump of mud from the ground and tiptoed behind a large tree nearby.
He took off his coat, curled up in a ball, and hid under a tree.
Seeing this, Hao Yun freed one hand to grab his coat and turned his head to check if his clothes were sticking out of the tree.
Luo Shimiao clung to the tree trunk like a little wildcat, climbing up quickly.
She hid behind a tree, peeking out with one eye to find the man's location.
I saw him standing motionless about 50 meters below, his flashlight shining in all directions.
"Little girls, where are you? Uncle is not a bad person."
He lifted his foot and took a step forward, the fallen leaves crunching under his feet. Suddenly, he turned quickly to the right: "Found you."
Hao Yun looked nervously in Luo Shimiao's direction, his eyes asking in question: Really?
Luo Shimiao slowly shook his head, clamped his legs around the tree trunk, and freed his hands to take the mud ball out of his pocket.
He broke off a piece and threw it behind him with force; the sound of it hitting the ground immediately caught the man's attention.
"Little girls, I know where you are. Stand still and wait for your uncle to come. There are big pythons on the mountain. I'm here to protect you." The man took out a pistol from his waist and walked step by step toward the source of the sound.
Luo Shimiao adjusted his position, hiding his body behind a large tree.
Their hands and feet seemed to be drawn to the tree trunk, clinging to the sound of footsteps.
The white light shining on the ground grew stronger and stronger, and the footsteps grew closer.
Hao Yun suppressed her fear, her hand holding the phone trembling uncontrollably. She bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from making a sound; she couldn't let herself become a burden at this critical moment.
"I see you, right ahead," he said, his eyes searching around.
Little Green saw the lights and followed them. After circling in the air, it spotted Luo Shimiao hiding behind a tree and immediately flew over, landing on her shoulder.
Luo Shimiao pointed to his mouth, then pointed to the back of his mouth.
Having spent so much time together, he instantly understood what she meant, turned around and flew away, finally stopping on the ground some distance away.
It stomped its paws hard on the leaves and opened its mouth: "What do we do? What do we do? He's coming."
The white beam of light was locked onto that tree.
The man licked his lips, a cruel smile appearing on his face, and walked away, gun in hand.
Luo Shimiao looked down at him, and the second after he had passed the big tree, she let go of his hands and feet and jumped down.
