For Kasumi, what happened last October was like a small thorn buried in her heart. She doesn't think of it often, but when the name "Gu Ran" flashes in her mind occasionally, she will feel a little guilty and a little scared. Of course, there is also the excitement and excitement that hides some big secret.
She clearly remembered that it was October 11 last year, the third day of the second CS field survival extreme competition in K province. She, Zhang Muhan, Gu Ran, and Professor Sun are all members of the fourth team. And Ke Fan, Fang Xu, Yan Er, and Li Mingyue are the main force of the other team.
Although each team had a different route and mission, the number of people who participated in the game was also large. But Gu Ran, a beautiful girl, has attracted the attention of many male players since the first day of the competition. Xiazi remembered that after the end of the mission every night for the first two days, there were strange boys who came to talk to Gu Ran. And what does Gu Ran say? There is always a sweet smile on his face, as if a little shy, but he is generous in his speech and demeanor, and seems to be able to chat with everyone.
Her looks and personality make her a perfect goddess in the eyes of men. But in the eyes of Xia Zi, who was in the same tent with her, it was a little bit cheap and pretentious. Even Zhang Muhan looked surprised when he saw Gu Ran when he came to look for Xia Zi. When the three of them were chatting, he was uncharacteristically active and talkative, as if he wanted to show it deliberately.
This made Xia Zi hated Gu Ran completely and always wanted to find a chance to fix her. However, Gu Ran was very thoughtful and could not pick out any mistakes. Occasionally, when Xia Zi spoke coldly and provocatively, she just laughed it off. This instead made the resentment in Xia Zi's heart deepen.
Then she finally got a chance.
That morning, she deliberately took the compass and map from Gu Ran's bag. The mountainous terrain is very complex, without these two, it is impossible to get out at all. In fact, she just wanted Gu Ran to suffer a little, such as falling down a few times, starving for a few more hours, or being bitten by a snake. Unexpectedly, in the evening, everyone returned to the team, but she still did not come back.
At that time, Zhang Muhan and the other boys in the team were all anxious and said, "The terrain here is very complicated, and there are mudslides in the mountains. Last year, I heard that someone fell into the stream and died. If Gu Ran gets lost, it will be very dangerous. ."
Xia Zi was panicked, but she didn't dare to say that she had stolen the map and compass, so she could only follow everyone and search for it all night. In the end, she felt guilty, she found it more conscientiously and farther than anyone else.
She and Zhang Muhan saw Ke Fan, Yan Er and Fang Xu gang raped Gu Ran in a very remote forest in the back mountain.
The moon was bright that day and the stars were all over it. The light of the stars shines in the stream near the forest, like broken jade flowing. On Gu Ran's fair and weak body, it reflected some kind of bright and dim light.
Zhang Muhan and Xia Zi didn't dare to let out the air, their hearts seemed to jump out of their chests, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness, fear or excitement.
It was Ke Fan who was raping her. He leaned her against the tree and lifted her legs with both hands. Fang Xu and Yan Er, left and right, grabbed her arms, making her unable to move.
Gu Ran was stripped naked, but Ke Fan only pulled his pants down to his knees and slammed into him fiercely. On the other hand, Fang Xu and Yan Er's faces and eyes were very dark, and their hands kept touching Gu Ran. And she kept crying, crying in a low voice.
…
Seeing the second person Fang Xu finished his work and changed his face, Zhang Muhan, who was hiding behind the bushes, pulled Xia Zi's hand and whispered, "Go." Xia Zi didn't dare to make a sound, and the two hooked Walking out of the waist, who knew that Xia Zi stepped on the dead branch with one foot, making a crisp sound.
Both of them were startled, Zhang Muhan looked back and saw that the three of them stopped and looked up. He quickly pulled Kasumi and ran out of the woods without looking back.
…
When they returned to the camp tent and lay down, both of them were panting, their hearts were beating like thunder, and they didn't speak for a while.
Later, Xia Zi asked, "Why are they like this?"
Zhang Muhan replied disapprovingly: "You don't know, I heard that they often play with women. Ke Fan's father is an official, Fang Xu's family is rich, Yan Er is a gangster, and he knows all three religions and nine classes. There are also many girls who like to be with them. Play. Maybe Gu Ran is willing to do it."
Xiako wanted to say that it didn't look like it, but held back. She knew that Gu Ran was a small clerk in a private company, and the family conditions were not very good. Even if they are played, it is estimated that this matter will be over.
"They're going to play for a long time." Zhang Muhan said again, with a hint of excitement in his words, "If I didn't pull you away just now, maybe you wouldn't be able to run away."
"Fuck you!" Xia Zi pushed him.
"Remember, don't tell anyone about this."
"Um."
The two did not discuss the topic after that. It's just that Xia Zi remembered that Zhang Muhan had done it to her in the tent that night, and he had done it several times. He seemed extremely excited and worked very hard.
It's just that what happened later was completely beyond the expectations of the two of them. The three Ke Fan came back when it was dawn. Someone asked them if they saw Gu Ran, and they answered no. Then Ke Fan came to Xia Zi and Zhang Muhan's tent alone. He was also very direct, just smiled and said, "Where did you two go last night?"
Xia Zi was still a little stunned, but Zhang Muhan quickly replied, "We didn't go anywhere! It's in the tent."
Ke Fan patted his shoulder and left.
As a result, Gu Ran didn't come back for several days. Until later, in the quagmire downstream of the stream, she found her corpse soaked in muddy water.
…
At this moment, thinking of these past events, and the dark and twisted faces of Ke Fan, Fang Xu, and Zhang Muhan just now, in Xia Zi's heart, there was finally only the fear of death.
There was still boundless darkness ahead, and there seemed to be countless footsteps behind him. Xia Zi didn't dare to look back, so she could only run as fast as she could.
"Xiazi!" She heard someone shout, the voice of the taciturn Xiaoyou. She knew that Xiaoyou ran out with her just now, and was also one of Ke Fan's killing targets.
So she breathed a sigh of relief, looked back, and saw Xiaoyou and Professor Sun running over together.
"When I came, I noticed a cave in front of me. Let's go and hide first." Xiaoyou whispered, his face was indistinct in the darkness, but his voice was as calm as ever.
Professor Sun said: "Okay, it's not the way to run like this. Please, Xiaoyou." Xia Zi was already helpless, and quickly nodded in agreement: "We rely on you, Xiaoyou."
Xiaoyou turned on the weak flashlight to illuminate the road, and the two of them followed behind him.
At this time, Xia Zi suddenly noticed that Xiao You, who had never had too many expressions, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
Xia Zi subconsciously said: "Xiaoyou, why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing," he replied in a low voice, "I laugh at life, it's so ridiculous."
—
After Han Chen and Jin Xi ran out for a while, they saw Ke Fan and the others still following from a distance. The hole in front is dark, and Xiaoyou and the others have not been seen yet.
When she ran to a hillside, Han Chen pulled her hand and bent over to hide in the bushes behind the hillside.
Soon the sound of footsteps was heard gradually, paused for a while, and then continued to go forward.
Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She snuggled up beside him, and suddenly felt a sticky wet patch on his trouser legs.
Jin Xi suddenly reacted and turned to look at him in the dark.
There is still a wound on his leg, and running will inevitably tear the wound and bleed again, causing severe pain.
But he kept his speed just now, as if he was nothing.
This guy…
Jin Xi's heart softened, and she shook his hand: "Are your legs okay?"
"Can't stop." He replied softly in the dark.
Jin Xi couldn't help but smile, and asked again, "How do I go next..." Suddenly, she felt a burst of qi and blood in her chest, and a small mouthful of sweet blood rushed out of her throat. She gasped involuntarily and spit out blood.
When his waist tightened, he was hugged by Han Chen, he lowered his head, and his side face was almost pressed against her.
"what happened?"
Jin Xi's head was dizzy and hot at first, but now her internal organs and six lungs feel like they are about to burst. Being held by him like this, I really just want to sleep in his arms. But she took a few deep breaths, suppressing the churning in her chest. She knew that Han Chen couldn't see the movement of her vomiting blood just now, so she replied in a low voice, "It's okay, maybe it's because of a cold, I'm a little nauseous, and I threw up. Let's go on."
Han Chen was silent for a moment, then stood up holding her hand.
"Follow me and don't let go."
Jin Xi replied softly, "Okay."
She looked up at the sky. There is still no moon or starlight, only thick clouds, shrouded in layers.
For such a big mountain, it may be difficult for others to find a few people. But for Han Chen, who was good at tracking, it was as simple as finding something in a bag.
The time for everyone to run out is not too different, and the distance between Xiaoyou and them will definitely not be very far. Soon, Han Chen found their footprints on the soft soil nearby. The two followed the footprints, looking for it all the way, going deeper and deeper in the forest, and the terrain was getting higher and higher. And Ke Fan and others were also successfully thrown away by them, and they hadn't heard anything for a long time.
However, when they reached the top of Kuai Peak, they saw Xiaoyou and the three of them in the clearing outside the woods.
Because there, a fire was burning.
A huge, fiery fire.
Intense thick smoke rose from the fire and rose into the sky. The crackling sound of burning pierced through the silence. And the raging flames illuminated everything around.
Tour the river, a small tour.
Or should it be called T. He was sitting on a fallen tree trunk three or four meters away from the fire. He was still in camouflage, with his hands on his knees, his head bowed, and a long gun on his back, motionless.
On the two big trees behind him, Xia Zi and Professor Sun were tied with ropes respectively. The two of them all drooped their heads, and there was no movement, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
With a distance of more than 100 meters, Han Chen and Jin Xi quietly watched this scene.
Jin Xi's hand rests on a big tree. She felt that her head was heavier, and her footsteps were beginning to become unsteady. She knew she was running a high fever. And the pain in the chest and abdomen became more intense.
She felt that she could fall at any moment.
"You stay here." A low voice like the night. Han Chen tilted his head to look at her. His face was half-bright and half-dark under the light of the fire.
Looking into his eyes, Jin Xi felt a gentle throbbing pain in her heart.
"Okay."
The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. Han Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her horizontally. Jin Xi looks at his fair face, somewhat confused.
The next second, he lifted her whole body and placed her on the thick tree branch. He put his arms at her sides, looking up at her.
"Can you climb trees?"
Jin Xi couldn't tell him how much she wanted to reach out and wrap her arms around his neck at this moment, just hug him tightly. She only whispered, "Of course."
Han Chen looked at her and even smiled. He left the tree trunk with both hands and took a step back.
Jin Xi takes a deep breath, turns around, hugs the tree trunk, and starts to climb up.
"Don't come down." His voice came again, "No matter what happens."
Jin Xi's heart seems to be being pulled by something, and it just falls. She looked down and saw her hands, clutching on the tree trunk. The bark was rough and hard, and it caused a dull pain in her palm.
I don't know why she was driven by what kind of psychology, or maybe it was simply her inner desire and expectation. She reached out, pulled off the necklace around her neck, and turned around.
"Take it."
She didn't say any reason, just handed it to him.
Han Chen glanced at her and reached out to take it.
He had seen her wearing this chain, the platinum chain that was a little old, the pendant was black, couldn't make out any shape, it was weird. The two met head-on for the first time at the rape scene. When she reasoned, she touched the necklace in her hand.
It is a very precious thing that you carry with you.
He reached out and inserted the necklace into his trouser pocket, looking up at her.
"Go up."
"Yeah." Jin Xi glanced at his eyes one last time, then turned her head and climbed up.
It was her lucky necklace, she never told anyone.
Four years ago, she was alone for the rest of her life after the accident. There is only this chain. It is said that she was in a coma and was held in the palm of her hand, and the doctor couldn't get it out until she woke up.
Now let him hold it, as if putting sustenance into his hands.
Seeing that she had climbed to a high place with dense foliage, Han Chen could no longer see her figure, so he turned around and walked straight in the direction of T.
The fire is getting brighter and brighter, and it is getting farther and farther behind.
In front of you is an endless night and mountains.
T slowly raised his head and looked at him.
Han Chen put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out the necklace, brought it to his lips, kissed it lightly, and put it into his chest pocket.
—
Jin Xi climbed to the top of the branch, hugged the trunk, and sat down.
Through the branches and leaves, I happened to see Han Chen walking out of the woods and walking to T and his fire.
Jin Xi quietly looked at his back, looking at his short black hair, the white back of his neck, and the traces on his trousers that had been soaked with blood, and tears finally came out.
