She tried to find a way back to her tent after the wild monkeys suddenly left. However, instead of getting closer to her tent, she was getting farther.
Of course, she did not know about it. That was why she failed to find a way back to her tent since several minutes ago.
'I believe I passed this road earlier.'
Like before, she walked in the opposite direction of her tent.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been an hour since she tried to find a way back to her tent.
At this moment, the sky was almost dark, so she began to panic.
Yes, she was panicked when the sky was almost dark!
Sure, she was a mature lady, but she was alone in the forest, so it was normal to feel scared.
She believed anyone would feel the same if they were in her shoes because many things could happen in the forest.
*Cikk...Crueek...Crrr…Krreek…
The sky was almost dark, so the sound of animals began to appear.
'It's almost dark now.'
The feeling of fear and anxiety within her grew bigger.
"Nichang…Nichang…" she began shouting, hoping she could find Leng Nichang.
She kept shouting and shouting, but her efforts were in vain because no one responded to her.
'I have to find a way back to the tent.'
She skimmed her surroundings before finally walking again.
Her face turned panicked when the sky was getting darker. Luckily, she could use the flashlight on her smartphone.
*Cikk...Crueek...Crrr…Krreek…
She stopped her footsteps and skimmed her surroundings when the sound of animals reverberated in the entire area.
'Someone, please help me.'
She almost could not control the fear within her because the sky was getting darker and darker.
At the same time, Xi Ran, Shi Fei, and Leng Nichang were shouting continuously, hoping Xi Ran could hear their screams.
"Ran…" Xi Xingyi was worried even more when the sky was getting dark.
'Ran, where are you?'
Her heart throbbed in sadness because she still could not find her daughter.
"Sister Ran." Shi Fei shouted as she used her flashlight.
"Ran, where are you?" Leng Nichang wore a worried face because she did not want something bad to happen to her best friend. "Ran…"
"The sky is getting darker." Shi Fei mused.
'We have to find sister Ran quickly.'
She shouted as loud as she could.
Like Xi Xingyi, Xiao Tian shouted continuously too. He was also worried because Xi Ran was alone in the forest.
"Lady Xi…Lady Xi…" he hoped he could find her before the sky grew dark because it would be harder to find her at night.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 06:06 pm. At this moment, they could no longer see their surroundings without a flashlight.
Xi Xingyi could not control her emotion when the sky grew dark. "Ran, where are you? Ran…"
"Sister Xingyi, let's return to the tent. It's already dark now." actually, Shi Fei did not want to say this because they still had not found Xi Ran.
However, searching for Xi Ran in the dark was dangerous because they were in the forest. Xiao Tian also told them to return to their tent if the sky grew dark, so she decided to say it.
"But we still haven't found my daughter." Xi Xingyi did not want to return to the tent because they still had not found her daughter.
Leng Nichang wanted to suggest that they should return to their tent, but she could understand Xi Xingyi's feelings, so she decided to say nothing.
"But it's already dark now. It will be dangerous to look for sister Ran." Shi Fei was even sadder when she saw Xi Xingyi's expression. "Let's hope that little brother has already found sister Ran."
Actually, Xi Xingyi still wanted to look for her daughter, but she did not want to put Shi Fei and Leng Nichang in danger.
For this reason, she agreed to return to their tent. She just hoped that Xiao Tian and Xi Ran were already in their tent.
"Sister Xingyi, let's believe in little brother." Shi Fei spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "He always makes miracle until now. Let's hope he will make a miracle again."
"Un." But even so, Xi Xingyi was still worried because Xi Ran was her only child.
At the same time, Xi Ran was standing like a statue. She could no longer control the fear in her heart to the point she felt like her body had turned weak.
'Mother…'
She suddenly remembered her mother.
*Cikk...Crueek...Crrr…Krreek…
The animal's sound was getting louder because the sky had already grown dark.
'Someone, please save me.'
Due to how scared she was, she did not move from her position for more than ten minutes.
The sound of the animal also made her even more scared. She felt as if countless ghosts were coming to her when the sound of animals entered her ears.
'Xiao Tian, save me.'
She did not know why she suddenly hoped Xiao Tian would appear to save her from that dangerous place.
'Xiao Tian, please save me.'
She kept saying the same words in her head as if she was chanting a magic spell.
And as if God had granted her wish, Xiao Tian's voice could be heard in her ears. "Lady Xi…Lady Xi…"
Xi Ran suddenly felt as if she had been freed from the ghost nest when she heard Xiao Tian's voice.
"Xiao Tian… I'm here." But even so, she still found it hard to move her legs. "Xiao Tian…"
Even though the distance between them was more than ten meters, but he could still hear her voice.
'It's lady Xi's voice.'
He could not describe the happiness he felt when he heard Xi Ran's voice.
"Lady Xi, where are you?" he kept shouting, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Xiao Tian, I'm here." Xi Ran was pleased when his voice was getting louder because that meant he was getting closer to her. "Xiao Tian, I'm here."
"Lady Xi…" even though he knew that shouting in the forest was dangerous, but he did not care about it.
At that time, what he had in mind was only one thing.
Find Xi Ran as quickly as possible!
"Lady Xi, keep shouting." He told her to keep shouting because, with this, he could find her faster.
"Xiao Tian…Xiao Tian…Xiao Tian…Xiao Tian…Xiao Tian…" she did what she was told.
She kept calling his name as if they were lovers, and she missed him so much.
"The source of the sound is coming from this direction." He kept walking toward the source of the sound. "Lady Xi…Lady Xi…"
Luckily, there was no wild beast around them, so they were fine even though they kept shouting.
The wild beasts near them were only small animals like cricket, firefly, and frog.
"Xiao Tian…Xiao Tian…" Xi Ran shouted louder when Xiao Tian's voice was getting closer to her.
Not long after that, Xiao Tian found Xi Ran. "Lady Xi…"
Xi Ran could not control her emotion when she saw him. She almost cried when she saw him because previously, she thought she would die in the forest.
Yes, she thought she would die because she was alone in the forest.
"Xiao Tian…" she suddenly rushed toward him before finally hugging him.
