Burning fire

"Again?" Zhou Qizun heard the key point, "What do you mean?"

"Just..." Xiaoying dawdled for a while, then took out gloves from her pocket and handed them to Zhou Qizun.

She was extremely cold, she shrank her neck and said, "Yaoyao's gloves also seem to have some... blood on them."

"I don't know if it's blood." Xiaoying said quickly again, from the soft tone, she could tell that she was terribly afraid.

Zhou Qizun didn't make a sound, took the gloves, and could tell at a glance.Yes, it is blood.

He rubbed the blood on the gloves with his fingertips, didn't say anything else, just asked Xiaoying plainly: "Why didn't you just say that?"

"I..." Xiaoying's tears finally came down, she pinched her pocket and almost sat down on the ground, "I'm afraid."

Zhou Qizun nodded, and said again what he had said to Xiaoying before: "Don't be afraid."

Yes.If the parties concerned can calmly tell everything in detail, then the police and soldiers all over the world should be able to save a little effort.

Human nature is like this, easy to cowardly, easy to panic.It is precisely because of weakness that people need comfort and rescue.

Zhou Qizun returned the gloves to Xiaoying, and gave her a hand.

Sensing that Xiaoying's legs were still weak, Zhou Qizun pulled her to the side of the rock and let her lean against the rock.

"Is it blood?" Xiaoying asked anxiously, "Yaoyao...was she injured? The phone is here, could she be nearby?"

The corner of Zhou Qizun's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't respond directly: "I'll tell the team leader and guide that they need to know the situation and cooperate better with the rescue team."

Zhou Qizun: "Don't think about it too much. It's useless to think about it. Take it easy, you still have to hurry down the mountain."

It is already three o'clock in the afternoon.It's dark and early in winter, and it's on the mountain again.What Zhang Jueming said before was correct, no matter what, everyone must go down the mountain before sunset.

Zhou Qizun weighed Yaoyao's cell phone and saw that Zhang Jueming was still tossing Bai Yuxing's leg.After the wound was treated, Zhang Jueming was pinching Bai Yuxing's ankle.

It should be Bai Yuxing's stupid melon seed who just fell on the ground and accidentally sprained his foot.But looking at it, you know it must be no big deal.

Zhou Qizun felt relieved and walked towards the leader.The team leader was circling around a big bald tree, muttering something in his mouth, probably he was crazy.

"Huh?" Before taking two steps, Zhou Qizun twisted his face.

Is that...blood?

Zhou Qizun turned around, and there was a fork in the road not far from his side, and there were dripping drops of blood on the ground, one drop after another connected into a line, leading to the forest on the uphill slope.

Zhou Qizun calculated the terrain in his mind, and their current location happened to be behind the bushes earlier.

Zhou Qizun took a few quick steps and stepped in front of the team leader: "This is Yaoyao's cell phone."

The team leader was cursing about the bumpy journey, and begging the Bodhisattva to bless him for safety, when Zhou Qizun appeared out of nowhere, almost jumping up on the spot in fright.

"Ah?" The team leader stared at the phone under his eyelids, "What?"

"I picked it up just now." Zhou Qizun pointed at Xiaoying, "It's been confirmed."

"This..." The team leader took the phone, wishing to roll his eyes out of his sockets, "Here is the phone, that man...how did this phone become like this..."

"I'm a retired special soldier." Zhou Qizun said suddenly, and pointed up the slope, "I suspect she's over there. Before the team leaves, I'll go over and have a look."

Zhou Qizun didn't give the team leader a chance to react, and hit him with a hammer again: "The person may be injured, there are bloodstains on the ground."

"What... you said there was on the ground..." The team leader twisted his neck suddenly to look over, and the force suddenly increased, causing the back of his neck to hurt, followed by a burst of dizziness, and the soles of his feet fluttered .

Zhou Qizun had no choice but to tug at the team leader, scolding him in his heart for being weak and hopeless.

Zhou Qizun didn't have time to talk to him anymore, so he just said: "I won't run far, I'll be back soon." After speaking, he immediately ran up the slope.

If Yaoyao was really injured by bleeding, she was alone in the mountains, her body temperature dropped very quickly, every minute and every second was critical, and her life might be in danger, Zhou Qizun had to take a look.

"Zhou Qizun, where are you going!" Zhang Jueming stood up from the crowd, and when he looked up, only Zhou Qizun was left behind.

"Where are you going?" Bai Yuxing also stretched his head when he heard this.But Zhou Qizun ran fast, within two seconds, he had already disappeared into the woods at the top of the slope, and Bai Yuxing's hair was not seen.

"He said that Yaoyao might be over there, and he was injured. He is a special soldier..." The team leader was still confused, but he couldn't help it.

Zhang Jueming immediately yelled at the crowd, seemingly furious: "Stay here, and no one is allowed to move, or if something happens, you will be responsible!"

After yelling, he didn't care about everyone's reaction, and ran up the hillside.

.

Zhou Qizun didn't run after going uphill.This road has not been repaired, and no one in the village steps on it. There are more dead grass and branches around it, so it is not easy to walk.

Furthermore, the blood droplets on the ground became more and more dense, and the blood color became thicker and thicker, so Zhou Qizun concentrated his mind and carefully followed the bloodstains.

It doesn't make sense.Looking at the direction led by the blood, it was drilled from the outside to the inside.But if Yaoyao was injured and found a way out, he should run from the inside out. Why did he go into the mountains again when he came out?

After walking a few more steps, the bloodstain suddenly broke.Zhou Qizun frowned, and before he could look around, his ears moved again.He put up his guard around him and heard someone approaching from behind.

The person must have been in a hurry, running fast, even in the bushes he didn't slow down.Zhou Qizun turned his head to listen carefully, and could hear the tree branch hook scratching his trouser legs, and the fabric was torn sharply.

After a while, Zhou Qizun saw Zhang Jueming's face.

Zhang Jueming ran towards Zhou Qizun, with mud splashing under his feet, he grabbed Zhou Qizun, pinched Zhou Qizun's wrist tightly, and shouted, "How dare you come in by yourself!"

Zhang Jueming had already seen bloodstains along the way, could it be... Zhang Jueming's heart shuddered, did those five-fingered fierce claws deliberately lure Zhou Qizun into the bushes?

Zhou Qizun once again experienced the strength of Zhang Jueming's hand, his wrist was numb, and half of his arm was about to lose consciousness.

Zhou Qizun said angrily, "Let go first."

Hearing Zhou Qizun's tone, Zhang Jueming was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that he had lost his composure.He let go and took half a step back: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious."

Zhang Jueming had to quickly take Zhou Qizun out: "You must go back with me..."

"There is a tourist hiking route nearby, and the hunters in the village don't go this way." Zhou Qizun interrupted Zhang Jueming, pointed to the blood on his feet, "This is blood, fresh blood, probably human blood. I just found Yaoyao phone."

"Then I should come in, you can't..."

"I'm a retired special soldier." Zhou Qizun interrupted Zhang Jueming again, "No matter what, I'm more reliable than you, a kid in his early twenties."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you come here now, the two of us can do it together. Everyone has to hurry down the mountain, we don't have much time. The blood is broken here, let's look around..." Zhou Qizun said Half closed his mouth, something cold and sticky dripped on the tip of his nose.

Zhou Qizun raised his hand and wiped his nose, wiping his hand red.He raised his head and glanced overhead.

No wonder the bloodstain was broken, but there were no other traces around.

There is something hanging on the high branch of the tree above the head.That is......

A person, or rather, a dead person.

From far away, Zhou Qizun couldn't see his face clearly, but...he was basically sure that it was Yaoyao.The pants on that man were very similar to Yaoyao's.

She was lying on the thickest tree branch, with one arm drooping limply, as if it could be torn off by a gust of mountain wind.The long black hair on the head was loose, sticky with blood, and stuck to the back of the neck, like a ball of dirty black algae.She didn't wear a coat, and a big blood hole was opened on her entire back!

Zhou Qizun heard Zhang Jueming gasp beside him.

"Don't look!" Zhou Qizun quickly stretched out his hand to block Zhang Jueming's eyes.

But it's too late.He saw Zhang Jueming's body go limp and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Zhang Jueming!" Zhou Qizun didn't care about the dead man above his head, and quickly pulled Zhang Jueming up.

Zhang Jueming leaned in Zhou Qizun's arms, his head tilted, his purple lips parted slightly.His eyes were closed and his face was pale.It was dizzy.

"Zhang Jueming?" Zhou Qizun called out, and then patted Zhang Jueming's face with his hands.Zhang Jueming didn't respond at all.

This boy was weird, he didn't expect that he was not very courageous, and he was so dizzy that he was a strong man.

Zhou Qizun looked up again at Gao Qing's corpse on the branch.It's not good to stay longer, he has to get this unconscious waste out of his arms first.

Zhang Jueming's whole body was slumped, like a woman without bones, and it took a lot of effort to carry it on her back.Zhou Qizun was used to being rough, and he didn't have any tenderness and weakness, so he was going to be carried headfirst by Zhang Jueming.

Zhang Jueming's pale cheeks still had some dirt on them, and Zhou Qizun wiped them off casually.

Zhou Qizun lowered his head to be carried on someone's shoulders, and as soon as he got closer...he smelled the fragrance of Zhang Jueming again.

That long and pleasant fragrance was the same as when he first ran into Zhang Jueming at the graveyard.

Zhou Qizun lowered his eyelids, his eyeballs moved, and saw that there were large and small mud spots on Zhang Jueming's trouser legs, and several scratches were also scratched.

——It was because I was too anxious to run over just now.I don't know if his trousers are thick enough, or if they are scratched.

Zhou Qizun paused, grabbed Zhang Jueming's arm and put it on his shoulder.He stood up without carrying Zhang Jueming, and hugged Zhang Jueming horizontally.

He hugged Zhang Jueming, walked steadily, and walked out quickly without looking back.

On the branch of the tree farther and farther behind, the girl's thin back was empty, and from the filthy blood hole, a pitch-black claw crawled out impressively!

It is like a long-legged spider coming out of hibernation, watching its prey.It quietly crawled over the girl's dead body, over the branches, and then up the trunk of the big tree.

Something flew across the sky, pressing down a large black shadow and blocking the sun.Its outline is indistinct, and there are nine tentacles that are projected on the ground, twisting disgustingly.

The thing flew away, and the sun poured down again, and the black claws on the tree immediately turned into thick smoke, which slowly dissipated.

The author says:

Later, Zhou Qizun smiled and said: pretend to be dead, pretend to be the truth, Oscar owes you the golden man.

Zhang Jueming's earlobes were a little red, he smirked, and his words were not right: "I didn't expect you to take me out."

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Zhou Qizun pinched Zhang Jueming's beautiful earlobe, his fingertips were soft and warm.His throat rolled down unconsciously, and he cursed in a low voice: "I didn't even think of it."
