The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The pit is two or three meters deep, like a big mouth hidden in the darkness, waiting for its prey to fall into the trap.

The pit walls were incredibly slippery, making it difficult to find a foothold. Even more terrifying was the fact that the pit bottom was covered in sharpened barbs, like rows of razor-sharp fangs, emitting a cold and dangerous aura.

However, fortunately, Lu Zhao seemed to be blessed by God.

When he fell, the heavy backpack actually became his life-saving straw, acting as a cushion so that his body did not suffer too much damage.

It was a pity that his legs were unfortunately pierced by those sharp barbs. Blood slowly seeped out from the wound, staining the surrounding ground red.

The phone was broken when it fell, and it couldn't be turned on, so he couldn't make a call for help. Lu Zhao was at a loss and could only wait in the pit for someone to come and rescue him.

But who would run to the mountain for no reason, especially a mountain that is not a tourist attraction? I'm afraid he is the only fool.

But he was wrong about this. There really were people coming here. They might be hikers going up the mountain together, or mountain bikers, or Lu Shi who came to rescue animals.

The muffled groaning sound echoed in the empty and quiet mountain forest, intermittent and faint. Lu Shi, who was passing by, thought that another animal was killed, so he raised his flashlight and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

When the strong light of the flashlight shone towards the bottom of the pit, the light seemed to turn into a lightsaber, striking Lu Zhao's desperate and dark heart with a devastating impact. From then on, heaven and earth were separated, daytime appeared, and the sun came.

Lu Zhao's eyes were slightly red, and the tears in his eyes reflected the tiny glimmer of light. He pursed his lips, and the suppressed emotions burst out in an instant.

"Why is it a person?"

The boy's clear, worried voice came from above.

"Are you okay?" the young man said, then paused for a moment, as if he noticed his bloody right leg.

"Hold on a moment, I'll get you out."

The boy put down the backpack on his shoulder and searched for something in it, then he saw a thick rope hanging from the pit.

"Can you climb up?"

Lu Zhao wiped away his tears, his voice choked with anxiety, "I'm sorry, I can't move my feet, and my body seems to be numb."

The bottom of the pit was covered with dense spikes. Lu Zhao, who only had a backpack under him, didn't dare to move at all. His body would have become numb after maintaining the same posture for too long.

Lu Zhao was a little uneasy, afraid that the boy on the ground would find it troublesome and simply abandon him.

Fortunately, the boy didn't care. "Tie the rope around yourself and I'll pull you up. Remember to tie it tight so it doesn't fall apart halfway through."

Lu Zhao obeyed and wrapped the rope tightly around his body, circle after circle...

Several minutes had passed, and Lu Zhao still hadn't tied himself up, so Lu Shi looked into the pit curiously.

"Puchi! Hahahahahaha..." A burst of uncontrollable laughter suddenly rang out.

"Actually, you don't have to wrap it so tightly. Just enough. If you wrap it any tighter, the rope won't be long enough."

Lu Shi should not have laughed in such a serious and tense rescue scene, but she really couldn't help it.

From her perspective, the man trapped in the pit was meticulously wrapping the rope around himself one circle after another. It looked like he was wearing a big round wooden barrel, with only his hands, feet and head exposed.

This was the first time that Lu Shi, who had only ever rescued animals, saved a human being. Such a unique and humorous scene was rare. Even in such a serious and tense rescue moment, he could not completely suppress the smile that welled up in his heart.

Lu Zhao's brain froze under Lu Shi's hearty laughter. A heat spread from his chest to his head, and the exposed skin on his upper body turned red. He had forgotten how to do it, and could only sloppily tie a knot at the end of the rope.

Even when Lu Zhao was pulled out of the pit and returned to the surface, the heat on his face still remained.

Lu Shi took out bandages and various medicines from his bag to treat Lu Zhao's wound.

"There's a lot of blood. How long have you been trapped?"

"About five hours..."

Lu Shi carefully wiped the blood from the wound. "8 o'clock in the evening? What are you doing alone in the mountains at that time?"

"Watching the meteor shower..."

Lu Shi looked at him, his hands moving non-stop, his body trembling slightly, and a low laugh escaped from his throat, "So did you see the meteor shower, or did you just fall down?"

He placed the flashlight on the stone and shone it on the wound. In the dim backlight, Lu Zhao could faintly see the dimples on the man's lips, mysterious and warm. He suddenly felt a pang of pain in his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I didn't see the meteor shower. I fell straight down. The news is deceiving. I didn't see any meteor showers in the pit either."

The tip of Lu Zhao's nose turned slightly red, and tears fell one by one, looking extremely aggrieved.

Lu Shi paused while bandaging the wound. He didn't expect that his words could make someone cry. She didn't even look up to see if there was a meteor shower in the sky today.

She realized belatedly and tried to comfort him, "The crater is so small, you might not be able to see the meteor shower even if it comes. You came to see the meteor shower because you wanted to make a wish. If your wish comes true, doesn't that mean you saw the meteor shower?"

Lu Shi's casual words of comfort penetrated into his heart like magic. Lu Zhao's breath was released and his heartbeat slowed down.

The night was dark, but his eyes were as bright as the moon.

"I see."

What wish did he make when he was in the pit?

He wished for someone to appear and save him, and then he appeared...

"I think I saw a meteor shower..." Lu Zhao said silently in his heart.

"My name is Lu Shi, the Lu in the capital numerals 123456, and the Shi in time. What's your name?"

At this time, Lu Zhao's mouth moved slightly and he muttered softly.

"I am Lu Zhao. A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength. I am as bright as the sun and the moon."

"Nice to meet you." Lu Shi clapped her hands after finishing her last action, and then began to look at the person she had rescued, but...

"Why do you always keep your head down? Look at me instead. Am I ugly?"

After rescuing the man, she only saw Lu Zhao's hair whorl from beginning to end. She hoped that he would at least raise his head. She was a little worried about his neck.

"I don't look good..." He fell into the pit and his face was covered with mud. He also wiped his tears with his dirty hands. His image must be very bad now, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Lu Shi.

"Do you think I'm a person who judges people by their appearance? I didn't expect that I'm so bad in your eyes..." Lu Shi pretended to be sad and about to cry, covering his chest with his right hand.

"No, no..." Lu Zhao waved his hands to explain, then moved his face closer to Lu Shi.

"Look, look, I'll show you, don't get hurt..."

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”

Lu Shi's image of holding his stomach and laughing was gone.
