"Mr. Mu, your joke is not funny."
The person who answered him was Fang Jie, the broker.
Fang Jie stood up from the sofa, took a few steps to the door, and stood side by side with the strange man whom he met for the first time.
Fang Jie spoke a little fast, as if trying to cover up something: "Of course she is Su Jin, if she is not Su Jin, who else is she?"
"She is..." Mu Xiulun was stuck.
Yes, if the girl in front of her is not Su Jin, who else is she
Su Jin opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but quickly closed her mouth again. She was back to what he had first known her—a beautiful rag doll at the mercy of an agency.
Mu Xiulun felt that he was trapped in a fog. He desperately tried to see the appearance of the person in front of him, but the more he looked, the more he couldn't see clearly.
Su Jin asked softly: "If you don't believe that I am Su Jin, do you want me to repeat the story of our acquaintance?" She paused, "We met in Sun Village, I went there to do charity, and I happened to meet I went to Sun Village to visit the aunt of the village chief. Later, when you learned that my mother was seriously ill, you offered to... to 'support' me."
Following her narration, Mu Xiulun suddenly recalled what happened three years ago. Those memories that he had already thrown into the depths of his memory were like a book that was suddenly dug out from the bottom of the bookshelf. Dusty, but not faded.
Although his surname is Mu, he has not been accepted by everyone because of his status as an "adopted son" who is not on the stage. Even in starting a business, he is under great pressure. If he is not careful, he will be crushed to death by his adoptive mother. He really had a whim at that time, and wanted to numb other people by nurturing female celebrities, in exchange for a chance to recuperate for himself.
This risky move... really succeeded.
He is a chess player, but he is also a pawn on the chessboard, and he has unknowingly developed feelings for another chess player.
But now it seems that Su Jin has finished the chess game and is about to get up and leave.
The person in front of her was indeed Su Jin, and Mu Xiulun carefully studied her face, trying to catch the sense of disobedience. During this period, Su Jin has been looking back at him frankly and calmly.
Mu Xiulun: "..."
Maybe he really was overthinking.
Mu Xiulun let go of his hand and stepped back to a safe distance. He looked at her with the same indifferent eyes, and didn't tell her how worried he was when he came back overnight.
"Since you're fine."
That's all he could say.
After all, without waiting for Su Jin to give him any reply, he turned and left the apartment that once belonged to him and was then donated to her.
The flame boiling in his chest was inexplicably extinguished when he came here. He touched the position of his heart and felt that it was empty.
It's really weird.
The door closed behind him, and the moment he stepped into the elevator, he heard the strange man inside the door ask Fang Jie in a cold tone: "Sponsorship? What does sponsorship mean?"
But Mu Xiulun has no time to care about that.
His car was parked outside, and he sat in the car in a daze, and stayed there in silence for a long time.
A ray of light appeared in the eastern sky, and the ray grew bigger and bigger, like an invisible hand slowly pulling back the curtain.
-Its daybreak.
It was dawn, and Mu Xiulun squinted his eyes, adapting to the light from far to near. He saw the sun slowly crawling over, shining into the car little by little, and the warmth also diffused into his heart little by little.
Su Jin, Su Jin, Su Jin.
Mu Xiulun recited these two words repeatedly on his lips unconsciously, as if he could get closer to her by repeating it a few times.
His Adam's apple rolled, a burst of thirst rose, he rolled his eyes numbly, and searched for the mineral water left in the car last time.
He remembered... in the storage drawer in front of the passenger seat
He turned sideways and opened the drawer, a touch of bright silver reflected dazzling light in the sun.
Mu Xiulun was taken aback for a moment—subconsciously caught the heavy thing that rolled out.
It was a geological hammer.
The geological hammer that Su Jin jokingly called "boyfriend" and never got back.
...Suddenly, countless memories surged up. Like an ice cube overturned by a rushing river when the ice melts in spring, Mu Xiulun stared at the "rival in love" in his hand, and finally realized the countless details that he had overlooked!
What is Su Jin like? If he was asked to answer half a year ago, he would say that Su Jin is reserved, shy, and low-key.
But in the past six months, Su Jin who stayed by his side was not like this at all.
She is passionate, she is never at the mercy of others, she has her own ideas, she is flamboyant, she has personality, and her eyes are full of flames.
She can ride a horse and run wildly, and she can escape a volcanic disaster wittily, she will laugh wantonly in front of him, and flirt with him as close as possible...
It was Su Jin like this that attracted all his attention.
But Su Jin, who just appeared in front of him, "changed back" again.
Could it be that the Su Jin he fell in love with before was just a broken bubble under the sun
How can it be
No way!
They can't be the same person at all!
—The person who just opened the door was indeed "Su Jin", but not the "Su Jin" he fell in love with.
The same face can be copied, but personal charm is very difficult to imitate.
Why is he so slow, and didn't figure out the trick until now? ! !
If the former Su Jin came back, where did the girl who spent half a year with him go
Mu Xiulun immediately called the secretary.
Gao Ling, who was left by him in the south to preside over the overall situation, was woken up by a phone call from him, and asked in a daze, "Mr. Mu, what's the matter?"
Mu Xiulun ordered sternly: "Send someone to investigate. What did Mu Minde and my adoptive mother do last night? Not only them, but also the movements of the bodyguards, drivers, and nanny around them, I will keep track of them!"
The sudden disappearance of the "Su Jin" he loved must have something to do with these two people.
"Understood." Gao Ling replied immediately without any sleepiness. Mr. Mu hurried back to China by special plane after answering the phone last night. Could it be that he is going to formally declare war on the Mu family
"Also..." Mu Xiulun sat in the car, looking quietly at the apartment on the top floor of the apartment, "Go and find out for me, what personal information did Su Jin change before she debuted."
"ah?"
"The key point is to check whether she has twin sisters."
"???!!!"
※
In the cold cave, Su Jishi and Xiaoxia hugged their legs together, and in front of them was a burning bonfire.
Xiaoxia stared blankly at the bonfire. Although when she and Su Jishi went to record "Winner in the Wild" before, she found that Sister Su was omnipotent in everything, but at that time there were so many people following, unlike now, the entire mountain forest Just the two of them.
Su Jishi showed excellent survival skills in the wild. With the help of the faint moonlight, she not only found a hole in the continuous mountains and forests where she could live, but also made a cave with rattan and branches without the help of any modern tools. A wooden bow that kindles fire!
It's just a pity that the branches that can support the fire are limited, and the small clump of fire is only enough to warm their hands and feet.
Su Jishi patted her on the head and comforted her softly: "It's okay, we will find the way out after dawn."
It's a pity that they sat there for a long time, and instead of waiting for the sunrise, they waited for the snowfall.
The morning light was blocked behind the clouds, and fluttering snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the road in front of the cave.
Su Jishi's heart tightened, and he chose between the two options of "going out in the snow to find the way" and "starving and starving in the cave", and finally mustered up the courage to step out of the cave.
As far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth are all white.
When they walked out of the cave where they were hiding, Su Jishi turned his head to look at the cave behind him, and suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Looking around, I can see that the growth of this mountain forest is particularly "strange": the surface is rugged, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and weeds fill the gaps, and the green hills standing in the distance seem to be hacked by God with a machete.
If you use two words to describe it, it can only be said to be "strange rocks" and "strange peaks".
"I know where we are!" Su Jishi reached out and touched the strange rock under his feet, and the uneasiness in his heart subsided by three points.
The strange rocks and strange mountains in front of them are very typical "karst" landforms, which are a unique karst formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks by erosive water flows (including rain and groundwater) for tens of thousands of years. topography.
In the entire capital, only the Taihang Mountains in the southwest corner have such a large area of karst landform! !
As far as she knows, the development of natural resources in this area is very good, and the supporting tourism resources are abundant. As long as they keep walking, they will definitely find people! Moreover, the karst landform is never short of water. As long as they find water sources, they will definitely encounter villages.
Su Jishi immediately told Xiaoxia her deduction. Xiaoxia couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and she couldn't understand what was karst or not. She only understood that there were people nearby! And there will be a lot of people! ! !
They won't freeze to death in the mountains! !
With the hope of surviving, a gust of heat immediately flowed from the heart into the limbs and bones.
Each of them holds a branch, which can be used as a walking stick or as a walking stick.
Fortunately, there are no life-threatening beasts in the deep winter forest, and snakes have also entered hibernation early. The only thing they have to contend with is severe cold and hunger.
Su Jishi also encountered such things as getting lost in the wild several times in her rich field exploration experience. In no-man's land, even if there is a map and a compass, it does not mean that the task can be successfully completed, and getting lost is common.
Don't panic if you get lost, as long as you have enough water and food, you will definitely survive.
For water, you can drink ice and eat snow; for food, you have to follow wild animals to find their food reserves.
Xiaoxia thought that Su Jishi would take her to dig wild potatoes and wild sweet potatoes, but Su Jishi looked around for a while, then suddenly threw off the down jacket, and at a speed that defies gravity, she took a few steps and climbed up the stairs. A tall tree!
Xiaoxia couldn't tell what kind of tree it was, just that it was bare and there were not a few leaves on the branches.
Xiaoxia looked up at Su Jishi's butt: "... Sister Su, what are you doing?"
Su Jishi said: "Climb up to see the road, and find something to eat by the way."
Wild potatoes and sweet potatoes are definitely the most filling. If it doesn't work, you can dig out rabbit nests and snake holes. But now there is snow everywhere, and she can't find food on the ground, so she can only try to "look up".
Soon, she found a tree hole smaller than her head in a tall tree trunk.
Two fat squirrels nestled in the cave, looking at Su Jishi in surprise and vigilance.
Su Jishi silently apologized twice in his heart, then stretched out his hand and hit Huanglong straight!
"Squeak!"
The squirrels were startled, and rushed out of the tree hole, but they didn't dare to run far, so they could only land on other branches pitifully, watching the human robber rob them of their supplies for the winter.
This is a very deep den of a large squirrel. Su Jishi poked his hand in, until he stretched half of his arm into the hole, and finally found the food at the bottom.
Squirrels have the habit of hoarding food before winter, and they don't hoard food "as much as they eat", but "how much they eat". The pine nuts were knocked clean, and the wild peanuts brought from nowhere were hidden in the cave together. Su Jishi grabbed five handfuls until he filled both pockets, and the grain in the tree hole was still bottomless.
Su Jishi took it as soon as it was good. Although the pine nuts were small, they were high in calories and could provide them with enough energy without needing too much. The most important thing is that no matter how small the squirrels are, they are still alive. If they are taken away, they will starve to death.
Su Jishi came back with a full load, and Xiaoxia was shocked by her ability to find food. She was not called back to her senses until she was stuffed with pine nuts.
"Sister Susususususu... why are you so good!" She said sincerely, "Even if you are a man, you can't do better than you! Is there anything in this world that you don't know?"
Su Jishi thought for a while: "... pee standing up?"
Xiaoxia: "..."
While knocking on the pine nuts, the two walked forward with difficulty in the mountains and forests.
It is obviously a desperate and dangerous survival in the wild, but because of the pine nut shells that the two of them dropped along the way, it is inexplicably more comical.
There is no sun in the sky, so they have no way of judging the direction, so they can only find a reference and walk down the ridge. They ate snow when they were thirsty, and pine nuts when they were hungry. They didn't know how long they walked, but they didn't find the expected village.
Su Jishi had good physical strength, but Xiaoxia was already weak, so she persisted in walking in the snow for a while, and gradually, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move no matter what.
The two found a leeward place to rest for a while, Xiaoxia's excitement faded, and the suppressed fear reappeared.
"Sister Su... we won't die here?" Xiaoxia said tremblingly, "I, I'm still young, the cp I'm a fan of isn't married yet, I haven't finished chasing, the fanbook I bought hasn't shipped yet, I can't die!!!"
If there is an emoji at this time, Xiaoxia will definitely send a series of crying faces.
Su Jishi comforted her: "It's okay, if you die, I will burn the fanfic to you."
"..." Xiaoxia cried even louder.
Su Jishi realized that his joke was really inappropriate. Crying will consume too much energy for Xiaoxia, so Su Jishi quickly covered her mouth: "Don't cry, it will be an avalanche in a while."
Xiaoxia pushed her hand away, lay down in the snow in a large font, and cried, "Then let me be frozen here! After a few decades, there will be a billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist." A scientific genius dug me out and thawed me out, and even made me a shield with a superalloy to make me a uniform!"
Su Jishi: "... I seem to have guessed what cp the fanbook you bought is."
While the two were talking, suddenly, there was a vague movement from the other side of the col!
Xiaoxia was startled, and immediately jumped up from the snowdrift, her head covered with snowflakes, completely unlike the person who gave up on herself just now and said that she would be frozen here.
She rushed to Su Jishi's side, clutched her arm tremblingly, and asked in a low voice, "This... Could this be a wolf?"
"No." The possibility of wolves in the mountainous area of Beijing is too low, Su Jishi also replied in a low voice, "But it may be wild huskies."
"...there are wild huskies?"
Because there are strange rocks everywhere, blocking the view, Su Jishi can only judge by the sound, and the place where the noise is made is only a few hundred meters away from them.
Gradually, the voices got closer and clearer—
— "Squad leader, I really heard someone crying in this direction!"
—"You heard me wrong, this deep mountain and old forest, who else would come here to suffer besides us?"
Su Jishi and Xiaoxia looked at each other, and they both saw a strong look of joy in each other's eyes!
It's people, really people! ! Not hallucinations! ! !
They immediately ran out from the place where they were hiding in the snow, and stumbled towards the place where the sound came from.
After turning over boulders one after another, they braked sharply and stopped in front of a steep cliff.
The cliff has a drop of nearly 50 meters, and the protruding rock wall has become a natural climbing point. Now, there are five or six people carrying big backpacks, wearing straw hats, and covered in dust, throwing themselves on the rock wall. A thick and windproof jacket, a lot of snowflakes fell on the straw hat, and his dark complexion almost blended with the rock wall.
I saw that each of them was holding a hammer in their hand, and was beating against the jagged rock wall.
Xiaoxia stared blankly at the group of "pioneers", not knowing how to greet them.
That group of people looked young, only in their early twenties. One of them hammered down a stone with a hammer, put it to his mouth and licked it, then gave it to the boy next to him after two "peh pee".
"Hey squad leader, you try this? I can't tell the nature of this rock."
The boy called monitor pushed the stone away in disgust: "Fuck off, you are less disgusting, let me lick what your dog has licked?"
Xiaoxia: "..." She took a step back subconsciously, and when she looked at Su Ji, she said timidly, "They are also lost? They are so hungry that they eat stones..."
Unexpectedly, Su Jishi's face brightened.
"No." She laughed, and the corners of her eyes and brows danced together. Xiaoxia swore that this was the most sincere smile she had seen on Sister Su's face in the past few months.
Su Jishi said leisurely: "We met the geological survey team."
