Jiang Cheng was helpless. He only ate these because he was too hungry.
"Let's go. There should be more food up ahead. There are many wild fruits here, and I only know a few that are edible. That's why it's hard to find them." Hyacinth couldn't say anything more and could only persuade them to move forward.
Jiang Cheng couldn't remember the path they had taken. Turning around, he didn't even know where he had come from.
This place could really be described with the word 'magical'.
"We're not far from the exit. There should be two exits here, but I only found one." Hyacinth led them for a while before turning around to tell them.
"This should be edible." Zhuge Liuyun looked at the fruit at the side. It looked familiar, like it was edible, but also not.
"This is edible." Hyacinth took a look. So he knew something.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly looked over. There were only a few trees bustling with activity on a single tree, and there was no other tree beside it. He seemed to be a little disappointed.
"Hurry up and eat." Zhuge Liuyun plucked almost all of them and gave them to them.
Jiang Cheng waited for them to finish before eating. Although it wasn't useful, he still ate it later.
"This is much better, even though it's a little bitter." Jiang Cheng said after eating one. Zhuge Liuyun and Hyacinth looked at him speechlessly.
"It's good to eat a little. We'll leave after eating." Hyacinth didn't know why these two men were so long-winded, and it gave him a bad feeling.
"Let's go." Jiang Cheng could tell that Hyacinth wasn't too happy, so he didn't dawdle. Getting out was indeed the most important thing now.
The sky was as bright as the moon and stars were last night. However, they still walked for a long time in the forest before the fog dissipated.
"Do you want to go out with us?" Jiang Cheng was a little worried and asked if she wanted to go out with him. But the result was within his expectations.
"I'm not going out with you." Hyacinth's reply was rather direct. He had probably thought about this question last night.
"Then why are you here?" Zhuge Liuyun was also a little curious about this. She said that only those who had a physical examination would be sent here. In that case, she should also be here for a physical examination. But why didn't she go out?
"Aren't you here for a physical examination?" Jiang Cheng thought about it. He had never heard of any recruitment of female soldiers, but only those who wanted to participate in the physical examination would come here.
"No." Hyacinth's answer was very decisive.
"Then what exactly are you here for? Tell us and see if we can help you." Jiang Cheng asked anxiously. Since she wasn't here for a physical examination, it meant that she had something else to do. Moreover, she had been here for a long time, which meant that her own problems hadn't been solved well. Jiang Cheng wanted to see if he could be of any help to her.
"Don't ask me. Hurry up, we should reach the exit soon." Hyacinth really didn't want to tell them some things about herself, so she could only urge them to leave as soon as possible. She had her own purpose for being here.
"You …" Zhuge Liuyun was helpless.
"Then let's go." Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhuge Liuyun, signaling him to stop. Since she didn't want to talk about it, there was no need to ask now.
Hyacinth quickly found the exit. She had been walking for almost half a day, and she couldn't remember how much she had walked.
"The exit is up ahead. After you arrive, there will be people waiting for you. They should be able to bring you to the physical examination." Hyacinth pointed ahead. Jiang Cheng looked over and saw a door that wasn't too big.
"You, come out with us. If you don't, I'll stay here with you." Jiang Cheng looked at her and said helplessly. He didn't want a beauty like her to die here. Or maybe he was just wasting his time here.
"Up to you." Hyacinth looked at him and wanted to slap him. Since you don't want to leave, I won't bring you here.
"Wait." Jiang Cheng stopped Hyacinth who was about to leave.
"What are you doing?" Hyacinth took out a knife from her bag and said threateningly to Jiang Cheng.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Zhuge Liuyun saw that something was wrong. He didn't know what Jiang Cheng was up to, so he went to pull Jiang Cheng back.
"I'm not doing anything." Jiang Cheng saw that Zhuge Liuyun was trying to mediate, so he quickly said that he wasn't doing anything. He didn't want Hyacinth to be too wary of him.
"Tell me why you're here and I'll let you go." Jiang Cheng had no choice but to force her to tell him. He wondered if he could think of a new way for her to solve this problem.
"You … Don't be so shameless." Hyacinth's hand was hurting from Jiang Cheng's grip. From the strength, he wouldn't let her go easily. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn't be able to beat these two men.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Tell us and we'll definitely keep your secret." Jiang Cheng said, afraid of what she was worried about.
"That's right, that's right. I won't tell anyone." Jiang Cheng signaled to Zhuge Liuyun, giving him a guarantee.
"I'm here to find someone." Hyacinth was helpless. If she didn't say anything, she didn't know how long the two of them would stay here. She didn't have time to waste with them either.
"Looking for someone?" This time, Jiang Cheng was indeed shocked. He had actually come here to look for someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Jiang Cheng was curious. He didn't know what kind of person was worth her staying here for so long.
"I'm here to find my father." Hyacinth said sadly. She had been here for so long but hadn't seen her father.
"Can you be more specific?" Jiang Cheng didn't really understand what was going on. Since she was here to find someone and her father, he should be very old. Why would she come here to find him?
"When I was about ten years old, my father left. He only left a photo for me. My mother said that he had gone to join the army. After that, he never came back. My mother passed away too. After my father left, she never heard from him again. "Hyacinth's eyes became moist as she spoke.
"Then you've never heard from your father?" Jiang Cheng felt that it was a little strange. If he was a soldier, he shouldn't have just left home without any news at all.
"No." Hyacinth answered quickly.
"Then how did you know he was a soldier here?" Jiang Cheng thought about it. There were so many military camps nearby. He didn't know how she found out.
"There's a friend who went out with my father. I asked around and used a lot of my connections to find out."
"I heard it was here. I did a lot of research and learned about the cruel elimination method here. So, I can only find out from some places here and see if I can find any information. " Hyacinth seemed to be in a helpless situation. She could only use this method to see if she could find any clues.
"Could it be …" Zhuge Liuyun thought that so many years had passed. Maybe he was already dead. Maybe he didn't pass the strict requirements in the beginning.
"No." I looked for people here. There are no records of death.
"All deaths here are strictly registered. So, no record proves that they are still alive. Also, if someone dies here, their family will receive a sizable subsidy. I've never heard my mother mention such money, so I'm sure he's still alive. "Hyacinth's eyes were full of certainty when she said this.
"Then you can't keep looking here." Jiang Cheng finally understood why she was here.
"I snuck in. This unit seems to be recruiting female soldiers these few years, so no one suspects me."
Hyacinth thought about it. She had been here for almost two months. She had used up all the food she brought with her, but it wasn't enough. That was why she wanted to look for food with them that night.
"Did you find anything here?" Jiang Cheng felt that if he could find anything here, it would probably be a pile of bones.
"Not really." Hyacinth felt a little helpless. This place was just too big, and all he wanted was to see if he could finish searching this place and see if he could find anything.
Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say. She probably had no other choice but to come up with such a stupid method to find someone.
"How much longer do you plan to stay here?" Jiang Cheng was helpless. There was nothing here. He didn't know how she survived.
"I don't know." Hyacinth didn't know how long she had to stay here. She was helpless and couldn't find any other effective way.
"Then you should go with them." Zhuge Liuyun couldn't take it anymore. He didn't know if she was too stupid or too honest.
