Rebirth: Professional Substitute

Chapter 75 - Looking for YanMingXiu

ZhouXiang walked around the hotel first. He thought that if YanMingXiu didn't leave the hotel, he would go back to the room to sleep. In any case, he won't freeze to death. So he walked around the hotel but the hotel is so big that he couldn't find anyone. The auntie at the front desk was so engrossed in talking on QQ that when he asked her if she had seen anyone going out wearing pajamas, she mumbled that she didn't know.

Finally, the auntie checked the door and confirmed that someone did go out. This door doesn't function well and people didn't know how to use it so they won't know how to close it tightly.

ZhouXiang panicked a bit. If something happened to YanMingXiu, the unfortunate one would be his so called "assistant" (himself). Especially WangYuDong would not let him off.

He borrowed a flashlight from the auntie and went out.

The people in the village slept early so there were not many households with their lights on at 11pm. The entire village is pitch black. ZhouXiang stood at the same place for a long time as he didn't know where to start looking.

He couldn't shout and couldn't alarm other people, otherwise when YanMingXiu returns, he'll most likely be the one to get in trouble. He wrapped his coat tightly around himself and walked into the village while swaying the flashlight back and forth, quietly calling for YanMingXiu. When he reached to the end of the village, he met a young couple who was having a rendezvous in the middle of the night. The light from the flashlight scared the two people and ZhouXiang took the opportunity to ask them if they have saw a person wearing pajamas.

The two thought for a long time and then the woman suddenly remembered, "It seems that someone has gone into the mountains."

ZhouXiang quickly asked, "How long has it been?"

"Just now."

ZhouXiang ran wildly in the direction that they pointed. If YanMingXiu really entered the mountain, it would be too dangerous. He has an instinctive fear of this dark forest because he was buried inside of a mountain.

Walking with much difficulty through the solid grass in this mountain forest at night with the wind whistling in his ears really makes people feel so chillingly cold that their scalps were numbing. He couldn't imagine how far YanMingXiu could have ran wearing just a thin layer of silk pajamas.

Why bother doing that? Could it be this hard for YanMingXiu to accept because that movie wasn't shot solely by WangYuDong but had a stuntman?

ZhouXiang felt that this is so pitiful and ridiculous. YanMingXiu is really an affectionate person.

"YanMingXiu! YanMingXiu!" ZhouXiang raised his voice and called out loudly. He didn't dare to run too deep into the mountains for fear that he would get lost, but after searching for ten minutes, he couldn't find YanMingXiu. He wanted to go back to the hotel and asked people to come search. If something happened to YanMingXiu, he can't bear the responsibility.

After making up his mind, he followed the path to head back.

The mountain forest is not tranquil. The birds that were hovering above the skies seemed to be frightened as they made ear-piercing sounds and anxiously flew up the skies. Hearing these sounds, ZhouXiang felt a burst of panic.

Just as he was climbing up a high slope, a tremble suddenly rose up from the bottom of his feet and then his entire body swayed uncontrollably. ZhouXiang's feet that were stepping on a stone became wobbly and he suddenly rolled down the slope.

An earthquake!!

Only nature can gather the power from the shaking of the earth that makes people fearful. ZhouXiang never dreamed that he would run into an earthquake at this time. Although the amplitude is not particularly high but ZhouXiang was too nervous; he couldn't even stand up.
