Liao Xiaoli didn't know what was on her mind. She was happy to have money anyway. As she ate her bread, she thought about her son's tuition and how much financial support she could give her son for his future graduation.
He bit down on his bread and continuously used his night vision goggles to look at the forest shrouded in darkness.
The forest below had the most owls in it, except for the occasional nocturnal scout.
She closed her eyes and tried to feel if she could find Xiao Meng Han, hoping that she could do some telepathy or something, but there was no, the woman's sixth sense had also gone to sleep. Helplessly putting down the night vision goggles, she momentarily lost all of her appetite.
"Worried about your husband?" Liao's theory was that Mo Xiaoxiao's husband was a member of the expedition, because he had not come home and had lost contact.
Moreover, she had also hired her hot air balloon. She heard that the forest around this area was sealed off, and since the ground was not working, she came from the air.
Liao Xiaoli thought Jing Xiaoxiao was smart. She comforted her, "Don't worry, your husband will be fine. There are plenty of wild men and wolves, and they are excellent reporters. Some of the reporters got themselves some photos from the newspapers in order to hand over their scripts. Who can guarantee that they didn't find actors in advance and put on bearskins to wait for them there? I think the Apes in the American and European films are much more realistic than those in the newspapers. "
However, she knew what the truth was. Sometimes, being an ordinary person who didn't know anything was really good, just like how she used to be. Now that she couldn't continue, she couldn't stay out of it.
Liao Xiaoli hesitated for a while and then said to Mo Xiaoxiao, "Actually, these things aren't really catching people by surprise. My husband's car accident at that time was really something like catching people by surprise, and before he died, he told me that he saw a monster, and I don't believe him. But as he looked very serious before he died, I remember now, I was wondering if he saw Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or the Black and White Impermanence, these explorers lost contact in the wilderness for so long, I can't say for sure."
Mo Xiaoxiao was stunned as she felt the connection between the monster and Xiao Meng Han that Mister Liao had mentioned. That was something that happened more than a decade ago.
She could not give up. Even if they were demons, or monsters in the eyes of others, they were still the closest people to her.
The couple had been together for hundreds of days. Mo Xiaoxiao couldn't just give up on Xiao Menghan like that, let alone the fact that Xiao Yu was born. He was so small and cute, so how could he escape if he met a wolf?
"You don't look good?" Liao Xiaoli looked at her and said worriedly, "I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously. There aren't any monsters in this world. My wife, ah, has a short life."
He didn't know how to comfort Liao Xiaoli, so he just handed her a glass of water. The feeling of floating in the air for too long made him dizzy. In the narrow space, she suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe.
She stood up and leaned against the edge of the hot air balloon. She used her night vision goggles to look at the forest below. They were currently flying at a low altitude and flying very slowly. In order to not show off too much, they had only turned on a very weak light in the basket of the hot air balloon.
Liao Xiaoli was sleepy. Her life was very regular, and in order to save electricity at home, she would go to bed early at night. She yawned, because the basket wasn't big, and there were a lot of things to put in.
As soon as she passed the age of 30, her body began to descend the slope. She had overdrawn her body and fell sick for so many years. She really couldn't take staying in a hot air balloon for so long.
Liao Xiaoli's idea was to find an inn to rest at night. However, Mo Xiaoxiao had to fly at night.
Liao Xiaoli hadn't flown over. She had agreed to the request for money. Liao Xiaoli had neglected the fact that the weather had affected the hot air balloon.
When Mo Xiaoxiao discovered that something was wrong, the hot air balloon had already deviated from its original flight trajectory, flying off in an unknown direction.
Liao Xiaoli slept soundly. By the time she woke up, the wind was strong and the basket was swaying in the wind. Liao Xiaoli opened her eyes but did not wake up. She thought that the earthquake had happened. "Son, run quickly. The earthquake."
"It's not an earthquake, Sister Liao. The wind is too strong." Although Jing Xiaoxiao didn't know hot air balloons, she felt that the wind was too strong and that the hot air balloons couldn't withstand it.
She didn't dare to fly down the hot air balloon rashly. All she wanted to do was to wake Liao Xiaoli up.
Liao Xiaoli was now completely awake. She quickly turned on the lights and looked at the surroundings. She could not see anything but darkness.
Mo Xiaoxiao pushed the night vision goggles into Liao Xiaoli's hands and said anxiously, "We must drop the hot air balloon. The surroundings are cliffs and if we are not careful, we will crash into them."
Liao Xiaoli hurriedly raised her night vision goggles, but when she did, she sucked in a breath of cold air. Where were they? It wasn't long before she couldn't remember there was such a steep terrain around here.
The control of the hot air balloon was mostly dependent on the wind speed and direction. Now that the wind was strong, one could only descend. The higher they ascended, the more dangerous it would be.
Dusk was not a suitable time for hot air balloons to fly.
Liao Xiaoli didn't even have time to warn him before she watched the hot air balloon crash into a tree on the mountain wall.
In the darkness of the night, a blood-curdling screech resounded, constantly spreading into the distance.
In the distance, Xiao MengHan, who was carrying Xiao Chuan while shuttling through the forest, suddenly stopped in her tracks. He looked towards a certain direction through the mountain ranges.
There, he could feel the aura of Silent Red, so strong and dangerous.
Xiao Yunyou, who was half in a daze in Xiao Menghan's embrace, suddenly quivered and stood up. In the next second, his small body jumped out of Xiao Menghan's embrace and shot out like an arrow.
Roar! Xiao Meng Han roared. He told Xiao Yu that it was dangerous.
As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of Xiao Wuyou. The mastiffs who were silently advancing behind them were also stunned, clearly not understanding what Xiao Wuyou's actions meant.
Now, the mastiff was less docile and more wild. In the dark night, it really looked like a pack of tall and fierce wolves.
Xiao Meng Han had been waiting for her poison to fade away and return to its normal state. He didn't have time to think, he let out a long roar, and followed Xiao Yi's aura to run over. His speed was very fast, and he was dashing through the forest.
The hot air balloon hung on a tree on the mountain wall. The basket was tilted and Mo Xiaoxiao clutched the edge of the basket tightly, trying her best to maintain her balance. Looking at the angle from which the basket was being poured, she estimated that two or three ropes were broken.
In the basket, Liao Xiaoli was trying her best to pull Mo Xiaoxiao along. Below her was a bottomless darkness, and Liao Xiaoli guessed that it was a steep slope instead of a cliff.
If he fell down, if he didn't break his body, he wouldn't be able to survive.
