Chapter 120 Mist
Chapter 120 Mist
The way down the mountain was much easier to walk than the way up, and with almost no effort, they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
The whole forest was filled with a strange atmosphere, the kind of strangeness that could not be described in words. There was even fog caused by the heavy humidity, which enveloped the entire forest.
"Just rest here for a while while I eat something. I've been busy for so long that I didn't even have a sip of water. I'm dying of thirst."
Jiang Ning signaled the puppy to stop with his eyes, then randomly found a big tree and sat down under it.
She took out food from her bag, took a bite of food and a sip of water, and finished her meal simply.
But when she looked up again, the scene before her was eye-opening.
I saw that the forest had been filled with fog without me noticing. It turned out to be a thin fog that allowed me to see the road clearly.
But now all Jiang Ning saw was a vast expanse of white, with extremely low visibility. He couldn't even find the road.
She was subconsciously shocked. After all, getting lost in the forest was the most terrifying thing in an adventure.
Moreover, this is a mountain that is so dangerous that almost no one comes here. If you really get lost here, you may never have a chance to get out in this life.
Jiang Ning put his backpack back on, and gradually lost his direction in the fog. The compass also seemed to start malfunctioning, indicating that there was something wrong with the magnetic field here.
She shouted:
"Puppy, where are you? I can't see you! Come out and stop scaring me!"
The puppy also responded to her loudly, but Jiang Ning could only hear the puppy's voice but could not see his real body.
"I can't see you either. Where are you? You can't touch me. What should I do now?"
In a daze, Jiang Ning suddenly bumped into something on the back.
The hairs on her body almost stood up at that moment, and she shouted:
"Ahhh! What is that? Don't come near me!"
But when she reached out to touch it, she realized that she was overthinking it because what she had just bumped into was just a tree.
But we can't entirely blame her for being timid. After all, in such a strange situation, everyone would be nervous.
The puppy said to Jiang Ning:
"I think this fog is only temporary, and it might disperse soon! How about this! You stand still! Don't move, and we'll see each other when the fog disperses a little!"
After hearing the puppy's voice, Jiang Ning's anxious mood was finally relieved a little.
She shouted into the white mist:
"Okay, I'll find a tree to lean on first. Don't run around. If you run away, my trip will be in vain. I don't know where to find you!"
The puppy also responded to her enthusiastically. In fact, if it couldn't see Jiang Ning, it would be more anxious than Jiang Ning.
"That's it, just protect yourself first!"
After being forced to separate for a while in the dense fog, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that the white in front of his eyes was more terrifying than the black in front of his eyes.
This fear comes from physiological fear, fear of the unknown, which Jiang Ning cannot avoid at all.
A gust of wind blew, blowing the leaves and brushing the hair on Jiang Ning's forehead. She prayed silently in her heart:
I hope the wind can get stronger. The stronger the wind, the thinner the fog. Please!
I don’t know if her sincerity moved the heavens, but a breeze actually blew.
The wind blew the leaves all over the ground, and then the fog dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the current range was about three to five meters, Jiang Ning stood up and decided to walk around the tree to see if the puppy was nearby.
Since the sound she heard just now was so close, it means that the puppy should be in this area and should be easy to find.
But even though visibility was better, Jiang Ning still couldn't see anything, so she started shouting again:
"Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
But this time the voice was different from the last time. The voice Jiang Ning heard seemed to be farther away from her.
But this is strange. She clearly remembered walking around the tree just now, so how come it is far away?
So Jiang Ning didn't dare to move anymore. Maybe his sense of direction had been lost in the fog, so he couldn't feel that he was getting further and further away.
She said to the puppy, "Come here, I won't move."
Xiao Gou replied with almost all his strength. He could also feel that Jiang Ning's words were getting farther away, and he thought he was teleported.
"Okay, I'll try to find you, just don't move."
The fog gradually faded away, and the shapes of the trees became clearer and clearer. Gradually, the entire forest began to appear in front of Jiang Ning's eyes, but there were trees all around, and he couldn't tell where he came from.
Just when she was confused and at a loss, a voice came from behind her:
"Found you!"
Jiang Ning knew who the voice was without even having to listen. It was definitely Xiao Gou. Xiao Gou came to find her.
She turned around and saw the thing.
Somehow, its skin seemed to have melted away, almost merging with the fog.
No wonder Jiang Ning couldn’t find it just now and it was getting farther and farther away. Maybe it was hidden in the fog, so it couldn’t be seen.
"How did you become like this?"
But the puppy seemed extremely anxious, with an unprecedented expression of fear on its face. Jiang Ning couldn't imagine what it had seen that made it so scared.
He spoke anxiously, saying:
"I don't know! We'll explain this topic later. Let's go now while the weather is fine. If it gets cloudy again soon, we won't be able to get out. Hurry!"
The two men fled in a hurry. They were still energetic when they came, but now they looked quite embarrassed.
Jiang Ning quickly stepped on the accelerator and fled from this hellish place with all these things, not caring whether the direction was right or not, he just kept driving forward.
When they finally saw human civilization, the two of them finally began to feel relieved.
Jiang Ning let out a long sigh, looking at the many check marks on his list, and actually felt a strange sense of accomplishment in his heart.
At least the final result was good. Jiang Ning successfully collected all the items on the list given by the master within the specified time. She picked every plant herself without asking anyone else to do it for her.
Tears streamed down her face, and it was unclear whether it was out of joy or grievance.
"That's great. Finally I don't have to travel anymore."
The puppy could also hear that Jiang Ning spoke these words from his heart, without any trace of his own selfish desires. He spent so much time and energy just for something that was dispensable.
"Next, just send all these things to the master, and then you can wait for the results. You can also have your own body, and you don't have to rely on others anymore."
Jiang Ning looked at the full box of things, then packed them all into a box and prepared to send it to the master.
In fact, she did this for her own good. This way, she wouldn't have to consider the puppy's feelings all the time, and she would have enough energy to live her own life.
It was not until he saw the express package being sent out that Jiang Ning finally let go of his worries.
The puppy was about to leave her, but this result was just right for Jiang Ning.
She thought she had been disguising herself quite well during this period, but in fact, Li Yiming saw through her at a glance.
Jiang Ning wanted to laugh. Was it because she hadn't acted for so long that her acting skills had deteriorated? That was why she was so easily exposed. It seemed that she had to pick this up again.
So, after returning home, Jiang Ning conveyed the news to his brother.
Li Yiming paused in the movement of the skewers in his hand, feeling very pleased, and said:
"You should have realized this a long time ago. Let the past be the past and don't mention it again. I will do my best to help you. Just keep running forward and let me take care of the rest."
"I know you're the best to me!"
Jiang Ning ran over, hugged Li Yiming's waist, and rubbed his face against his chest.
Seeing Jiang Ning happy, he also felt happy. Of course, the feeling of helping your own people and helping outsiders is different.
