Chapter 113 - Escaping from danger in the outskirts of the wasteland
After Li Xiang heard this, he immediately became confident. He thought that this brat knew a thing or two. However, the facts proved that he was thinking too much and that he really did not know anything.
Looking at the crumbling flames and the black smoke, Li Xiang was completely speechless. He knew that he exaggerated too, and laughed dryly in embarrassment, and explained at the same time: "It's been so long since I last went out to camp, I'm a little strange. Why don't I get this fire soon?"
Li Xiang rubbed his forehead helplessly, why would he believe him? After a while, with Zhang Jinghao's unremitting efforts, the weak little flame finally started to burn up, and the firelight shone upon Zhang Jinghao's happy face.
Li Xiang's body finally felt warm, and his entire body felt comfortable. Looking at Zhang Jinghao who was in a sorry state, he patted his shoulder and comfortingly said: "We will definitely be able to get out. We won't die even if we drop to such a high place, let alone if we just crawl down."
There were a lot of people following me since I was young. I thought they were following me because they liked to play with me, but when I grew up, I realized that they only valued the Zhang Clan behind me. I'm the young master of the Zhang Clan. Zhang Jinghao looked at the blazing bonfire, and slowly narrated: "But you are different, you could have ignored me and ran by yourself, but you did not leave, and you even saved me, I will recognize you as my big brother in this life, even if it means losing my life, I will protect you."
Li Xiang laughed out loud: "Alright, I'll take you as my brother. From now on, your business is my business."
"Alright, big brother. I have a big brother now." Zhang Jinghao laughed happily like a child.
"However, who was the person who wanted your life this time? Did you offend anyone, to actually want to kill you?" Li Xiang asked curiously.
Being asked by Li Xiang, it was hard for Zhang Jinghao to recall anything. Although he had offended people before, they did not want to take his life. But this time, the person was clearly going to kill him, not spare his life. Who would be so vicious as to take his life?
Li Xiang looked at him for a long time, but could not think of anything, although Zhang Jinghao liked to cause trouble, he did not have such a huge enemy, the person who wanted to harm him was probably Zhang Jinghao, and it was also unknown, so after going out, it would not be too late to discuss it.
The two of them continued to chat merrily, they never thought that there would be so many common topics to discuss. The night was getting darker, and Zhang Jinghao was so tired that he couldn't take it anymore, he leaned on the stone wall and slowly fell asleep. Li Xiang looked at the few sparse stars in the sky, and also fell asleep.
When Li Xiang woke up, the fire had already been extinguished and the morning was cold. He was shivering from the cold and woke up Zhang Jinghao who was still in his dreams. Zhang Jinghao opened his eyes in a daze, and yawned, the stone wall was too painful, and he was unable to sleep comfortably.
"Let's go." As he spoke, he tied a branch of the vine around his waist and tightened it around his waist. After looking at the sturdy vine, he felt at ease to go down.
Before going down, he told Zhang Jinghao to circle the vine a few more times. Although the vine was sturdy, if it met with a sharp stone or was damaged, it would not be good.
Zhang Jinghao tightened the vines, indicating that he had already tied himself up very firmly, so he was assured that he would not break it. Seeing this, Li Xiang was relieved.
The dried up branch on Li Xiang's left arm had already been removed. It wasn't really a serious injury, and he still disdained it being in the way. Fortunately, he didn't bring it with him, as it was more convenient this way.
Li Xiang tied the other end of the vine to a thick tree, confirming that it was fine. He dared to go down carefully this time, as he was walking in front.
Although the mountain wasn't particularly tall, there were still a lot of trees and shrubs, as well as some thorny branches. Not long after they had descended, their faces were already covered in a lot of colors. The bloodstains on their faces were very horrifying.
Especially Zhang Jinghao, he was in such a miserable state. His face was covered in blood and he did not dare to touch him. He hated the person who killed him even more. If he found out who caused his death, he would throw that person into the mountains to experience it.
This mountain was not as tall as they had imagined, but it was not short either. They were afraid that the length of the vines might not be long enough, so they made it up to be especially long. Just in case, when they reached the foot of the mountain, it would not be long enough.
Although he was not afraid of heights, but three meters was a bit too high for him. Not to mention that there were all the stones below him, if he was not careful, he would probably fall to his death.
Li Xiang shouted down below to the hesitant Zhang Jinghao: "Jump quickly, I'll catch you down there. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you, believe me."
Zhang Jinghao knew that he had no other choice, so he clenched his teeth and jumped down using the vines' recoil. Seeing that he was about to land on the ground, Li Xiang used all his strength to roll on the ground once, reducing the resistance, Zhang Jinghao was fine.
The two climbed up from the ground. Zhang Jinghao was fine, but Li Xiang's back was currently burning hot, and he had already been hit twice by the golf club. He had rolled on the stone just now, and the pain was so intense that he could not feel anything anymore.
But he did not show it, he still had not walked out, he did not want Zhang Jinghao to know.
The two of them walked out, not knowing where to go. They could only choose a random direction and calculate where to go. Zhang Jinghao had almost used up all of his stamina. From yesterday to now, he had not eaten anything, and his stomach was already on the verge of bursting from hunger. He had climbed for such a long time, and now he had to walk for such a long time. He felt that there was no hope for him.
At this time, Li Xiang suddenly stopped, and nimbly climbed up a tree. The tree was covered with bright red wild fruits, Li Xiang plucked a few of them and threw them to Zhang Jinghao.
"Eat some wild fruits first and fill your stomach. Maybe we'll have to walk for a while."
Zhang Jinghao looked at the fruit in his hands hesitantly. Forget it, he would just eat it.
With one bite, the juice flowed down his throat like water into a dry paddy field. It tasted so good that he picked up the fruit in his hand and wolfed it down. Now, Zhang Jinghao felt that this normal wild fruit was much more delicious than all the expensive foods that he normally ate.
Looking at Zhang Jinghao's satisfied face, this brat was just too easy to satisfy, it was just two wild fruits, was there really a need to reveal such a delicious expression, unable to understand the rich.
Just like that, the two continued to walk in the same direction, but as they went deeper, they didn't see a single living animal, let alone a camping party member. Were the two of them really going to be trapped here?
Suddenly, Zhang Jinghao, who was walking behind, shouted out. Li Xiang turned his head nervously, thinking that something had happened to him.
Zhang Jinghao pointed at a big tree with a look of ecstasy as he shouted, "This is a sign I left behind, I left it here."
Li Xiang hurried over and saw a few big words carved on the tree trunk: "Zhang Jinghao, let's go."
Li Xiang: "."
Zhang Jinghao, this brat, is he to be praised or scolded?
Zhang Jinghao was still happily shouting, "This was carved on my first camping trip, I never thought that there would be more, I remember now, I know where to go now."
Zhang Jinghao headed towards a small alley, Li Xiang had no choice but to follow behind him, and now, they could only rely on him to escape.
After walking along the small path for about half an hour, he suddenly heard voices. There were both men and women, and there were quite a lot of people.
As he walked out of the alley, he saw a wide grassland in front of him. Currently, there were tents everywhere, and these people looked to be extremely young, like college students.
A middle-aged man in a black tracksuit saw the two of them and asked with an unfriendly expression, "Who are you?"
No wonder the tone of the man in black, anyone who saw their appearances would be scared. Their clothes were dirty and their faces were covered in blood stains. There wasn't a single part of their bodies that was intact.
Li Xiang could tell that his tone was not good, so he took a step forward and explained: "The two of us came here to camp, but we did not expect to meet any villains who stole our cars and money, the two of us ran out fighting to the death."
The man looked at them and saw that they did not look like bad people. His tone became gentler: "Look, you guys don't look like bad people either. I'm Wang Chao, we're going back to the city. Do you want to come with us?"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed happily, thinking that they had finally met a good person. He hurriedly agreed and continuously nodded his head.
Seeing them so happy, Wang Chao thought to himself, "They really are two idiots." He then shouted to a man in red clothes, "Wang Wei, take care of them, come back with us."
The man called Wang Wei quickly walked over and looked at the two people in a sorry state. Wang Chao whispered in his ears, so Wang Wei said to the two of them: "It looks like the two of you haven't eaten yet, we still have some food. You guys get to work on it first, I'll find two clean clothes for you later." If one did not look closely, one would not know where the two had come from.
Zhang Jinghao was moved to tears, he kept saying thank you.
The two of them simply washed up and changed into a set of clean clothes. They felt that their bodies were much more comfortable and their haze was swept away.
As they sat in the bus, they realized that they were all students. Wang Chao and Wang Wei were the people in charge of the camp.
Today was their last day camping, and it had to be said that the two of them were very lucky.
The bus drove into the city, and just happened to pass a bar that Zhang Jinghao was familiar with, and got off the bus there. Zhang Jinghao still wanted to give that person a way to contact him, but was rejected by Wang Chao.
