it's dark, coax me

Every time Gu Xiu was dissociated, he couldn't remember what happened during the dissociation, but the more times he did, the more he understood his own situation.

He lay there for a while, until the sharp pain gradually eased, and he came back to his senses.

He touched himself, but luckily the phone was still in his pocket, he took out the phone, hesitated for a moment and dialed Zhou Xing's number.

Zhou Xing answered the phone very quickly.

"I'm Gu Xiu. I accidentally fell down the mountain. I may have broken a bone. Can you come pick me up?"

Zhou Xing seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you now?"

There are trees all around, and there are no iconic buildings.

Judging from the surrounding situation, it is obvious that the highest point of the mountain has not yet been reached.

So he just said, "I'm on the way up the mountain, and there's still some way to the top of the mountain."

When Gu Xiu's mobile phone is making a call, there is no network signal, and he cannot surf the Internet while making a call.

He had seen this map before, and it was not easy to describe, so he said, "Is your mobile phone number your WeChat account? I will add you as a friend and send you my current location information on WeChat."

"Row."

Gu Xiu hung up the phone, but soon found that the phone still couldn't access the Internet.

He hadn't downloaded an offline map of the area, and the map couldn't show his exact location without an internet connection.

He tried to add Zhouxing WeChat and wanted to share his location coordinates with him, but WeChat showed that there was no network signal.

He called Zhou Xing back again, and found that the phone was still able to make calls just now, but now it showed that there was no signal.

He called several times in a row, but he couldn't make another call.

After Zhou Xing hung up the phone, he waited for a while, but did not hear from Gu Xiu, so he tried to add Gu Xiu as a friend, but was not approved.

When he called back again, he found that there was no signal on Gu Xiu's side, and he couldn't get through.

Having lived in this area for a long time, he realized what was going on almost immediately.

Several of his friends had already gone back, so he got up and prepared to go directly to Gu Xiu.

The road on the mountain is not easy to walk. Compared with driving an off-road vehicle, it is relatively more convenient to drive a motorcycle at this time.

Thinking so, Zhou Xing walked to the back of the wooden house, pushed the motorcycle out from the utility room, released Zhang Wanwan at the same time, and pulled it to Gu Xiu's vehicle.

Zhang Wanwan is a military dog. It was raised by a comrade-in-arms surnamed Zhang of Zhou Xing. He regarded it as a child, so he used his surname when naming him.

Later, he died before Zhou Xing was discharged from the army. Since then, Zhang Wanwan has been very depressed and began to refuse to work.

Taking into account Zhang Wanwan's age and physical and mental conditions, the higher authorities decided to retire.

After retiring from the military, Zhou Xing applied for the adoption of Zhang Wanwan.

After Zhang Wanwan was adopted, he was still depressed for a long time, but fortunately, he finally got over it little by little, and now he has basically come out.

When Zheng Yan and the others were patrolling the mountain a few days ago, they took Zhang Wanwan with them. This morning Zheng Yan and others came here mainly to send Zhang Wanwan back. Now it seems like a coincidence.

The military dogs have undergone special training, and finding people can be regarded as a relatively basic skill. After Zhang Wanwan became familiar with Gu Xiu's smell, he rushed out all the way.

Zhou Xing rode a motorcycle and followed Zhang Wanwan all the way up the mountain.

After running for a long time, Zhang Wanwan stopped at a place in the forest and barked wildly.

When Zhou Xing got out of the car, he saw the bag that Gu Xiu carried when he went out in the morning, but he didn't see his person.

He yelled a few times, but got no response.

He hung the bag on the handlebar of the motorcycle and said to Zhang Wanwan, "Keep looking."

After Zhang Wanwan sniffed around in place, he ran in another direction, and then yelled again.

This is the place where Gu Xiu stayed for the last time before falling down.

There is a steep hill below, and Zhou Xing thought of Gu Xiu saying that he had fallen, so he immediately untied Zhang Wanwan from the rope and signaled him to continue searching.

Zhang Wanwan carefully found a way to go down, Zhou Xing parked the motorcycle in place, and walked down with Zhang Wanwan.

Zhang Wanwan yelled again after walking for a while.

It won't bark when it doesn't find any clues. Zhou Xing walked up to it after Zhang Wanwan made a cry and looked at it. It was a piece of cloth. The color should be the fabric of Gu Xiu's coat. It might be Clothes were ripped and left behind when they tumbled.

Looks like you're looking in the right direction.

Gu Xiu made many phone calls to Zhou Xing but failed to get through. It is certain that the signal in this place is already poor to a certain extent. It seems that it is a coincidence that he was able to make the call smoothly before.

This mountain forest is so big, there is no exact location, even if Zhou Xing comes to look for him, it may not be when he will be able to find someone.

Because of the uncertainty of time and the pain in his feet, Gu Xiu began to think about what he should do next.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a dog barking. His first reaction was not that someone brought a search and rescue dog to rescue him, but thought of wild dogs.

After all, there are few people around here, and he doesn't think that someone will take the dog up the mountain at this time.

Gu Xiu is afraid of dogs. When he was young, he was chased and bitten by stray dogs. He was seriously injured at that time, and the scars can still be seen on his body now.

Although it's been a long time, he now sees cute cats and dogs that don't show any threats, and sometimes he wants to get close to them, but once they show a fierce look, especially when he sees the dog baring his teeth and howling at him Sometimes, he will still have deep fear.

When he realized that the barking of the dog was getting closer, his whole body became tighter and tighter. Even if he stood up and ran away regardless of the injury of his left leg, he couldn't run faster than the dog. He picked up the dog beside him. stone, tense and vigilant.

Zhang Wanwan followed the scent, stopped and walked all the way, and finally found Gu Xiu's place.

However, Gu Xiu was extremely nervous.

Zhou Xing, who was following Zhang Wanwan, also found Gu Xiu, and he called Gu Xiu's name.

Gu Xiu turned a deaf ear to this, and his attention was all on Zhang Wanwan.

After Zhou Xing noticed Gu Xiu's fear, he directly issued an order to make Zhang Wanwan stop where he was, and walked towards Gu Xiu by himself.

Zhang Wanwan sat obediently on the spot, stopped barking, and only looked sideways at Gu Xiu.

Only then did Gu Xiu relax a little bit, and finally realized that this should be Zhou Xing's dog.

When he went out in the morning, he was neat and tidy, but now he was already in a mess as he rolled down the mountain.

Zhou Xing squatted beside him and asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

Gu Xiu pointed to his left leg.

Zhou Xing nodded, "Relax, don't move, I'll check the situation."

Zhou Xing rolled up Gu Xiu's trouser legs to check the condition of his ankles and calves.

Zhou Xing's hands were big, and their palms were also very hot. Gu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable for a moment as he felt the touch and temperature from his hands.

However, at this moment, Zhang Wanwan, who was squatting quietly on one side, suddenly stood up and barked in a direction in the forest.

Gu Xiu froze, and subconsciously hid in Zhou Xing's direction.

The distance between the two of them was extremely close at this time, and Gu Xiu leaned so close that he almost leaned into Zhou Xing's arms.

Zhou Xing didn't expect Gu Xiu to make such a move. He froze for a moment, calmed Zhang Wanwan down, then patted Gu Xiu's shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it used to be a military dog, and it has experienced a lot. Strict training, no instructions will not hurt people."

Gu Xiu calmed down a bit and realized his gaffe.

It seemed that he subconsciously wanted to seek Zhou Xing's protection just now, but now the two of them were leaning against each other almost in a very intimate gesture.

YouQi put Zhou Xing's warm palm on his shoulder in order to comfort him.

Gu Xiu silently opened the distance between the two of them, and Zhou Xing withdrew the hand on his shoulder after that.

Although Zhang Wanwan calmed down, his eyes were fixed on the grass not far away.

Gu Xiu found a gray shadow moving quickly in the grass.

Zhou Xing explained: "There are some wild animals on the mountain here."

Gu Xiu nodded.

After Zhou Xing pulled up Gu Xiu's trousers, he saw obvious bruising and swelling on his ankle.

He only touched it lightly, and Gu Xiu couldn't help but gasped.

The pain is severe, and the possibility of a fracture cannot be ruled out.

"Why do you..." Zhou Xing stopped before finishing his sentence.

Gu Xiu guessed that Zhou Xing wanted to ask him how he fell from the top, but he didn't know how to answer, just like he didn't know why his depression relapsed and why he dissociated again.

In fact, Zhou Xing just thought that Gu Xiu should not go up the mountain at this time. After the rain is the most slippery time in the mountains, it is easy to be dangerous.

But then he thought that Gu Xiu lived in a big city, and he probably wouldn't climb such a wild mountain at all, and it's normal not to have safety awareness in this regard.

Gu Xiu said before that he was walking around casually. He only thought that Gu Xiu wanted to see the surrounding situation. He didn't expect him to come to climb the mountain here. In fact, he didn't remind in place about this.

Now that the incident has happened, it is obviously too late to tell Gu Xiu about it, so he didn't continue talking.

Gu Xiu said on the phone before that he might have broken a bone, so Zhou Xing came here with a bandage.

He used local materials, helped Gu Xiu fix his left foot, and then said: "I'll take you down the mountain first, and go to the hospital to take an X-ray for examination."

Gu Xiu replied with a muffled voice. He didn't like the hospital and was conflicted in his heart, but he also knew that he must go to the hospital now.

"Is the other leg injured? Can it move?"

"No injuries."

Apart from his left leg, there was no obvious pain in other parts of his body. Presumably, he was not injured, and even if he was injured, it should be only a minor injury.

Zhou Xing stood up, then half-bent down and said, "I'll support you, try standing up, don't use your left foot too hard."

Gu Xiu nodded, Zhou Xing had great strength in his hands, which gave him a very strong support, but even so, Gu Xiu still had some difficulty, especially when he got up, it was difficult for him to use one foot to maintain his balance.

Subconsciously, he still used his left foot to prop up a little bit, but just this one made him feel unbearable pain.

In his current state, it was even more difficult for him to go up the mountain.

Gu Xiu asked with some hesitation: "I'm having difficulty moving, and it's too strenuous for you to take me down the mountain, why don't you call two more people?"

"Need not."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he bent down and said, "Come up."

Although Gu Xiu has a thin body, his height is here. As a grown man, he is not too light. Now they must at least go up this steep slope first.

Gu Xiu was worried that if Zhou Xing carried him on his back in this situation, the two of them would fall down together.

Seeing Gu Xiu hesitate, Zhou Xing simply bent over and hugged him directly.

Gu Xiu only felt his whole body lighten, and Zhou Xing hugged him in the arms of a princess.

He moved his body uncomfortably, Zhou Xing said: "Don't move your legs."

Gu Xiu: ...

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Xing couldn't help laughing and said, "It's okay, trust me, I'll take you up there."

Although Zhou Xing was a taciturn person who didn't talk much on weekdays, unexpectedly, every word he said gave people a sense of reliability. Although Gu Xiu still felt that this might be unreliable, in the end he still I didn't say anything more.

Even though he was holding a large living person, Zhou Xing's pace was very steady, as if the weight didn't exist.

After Zhang Wanwan ran around under the feet of the two, he went to the front to lead the way.

In order to maintain his balance, Gu Xiu wrapped his arms around Zhou Xing's neck.

With his head resting on Zhou Xing's chest, he could even hear Zhou Xing's strong and powerful heartbeat.

It has to be said that Zhou Xing's physical strength is really good, he actually carried him all the way up the steep slope, and carried him to the front of the motorcycle.

Gu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the motorcycle. If Zhou Xing really carried him all the way down the mountain like this, he might lose both of his arms.

Zhou Xing adjusted his position and put Gu Xiu on the back seat of the motorcycle.

Gu Xiu thanked in a low voice.

Zhou Xing smiled, stepped on the motorcycle, "The mountain road is a bit steep, hold on tight."

There was no handrail on his motorcycle. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xiu put his arms around Zhou Xing's waist, but felt that this seemed a little too intimate, so he loosened it again.

Zhou Xing chuckled and said, "Don't move around after hugging, it's really itchy."
