Reborn on Our Wedding Night, I Seduced the Tycoon of the Capital City Mad

In her past life, Qiao Xi was deceived by her wicked stepfather and stepmother, not only causing the death of her most beloved relative but also killing the man who loved her more than life itself!...

Chapter 168 Wilderness Survival

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao immediately understood, "Oh~ I know, you don't want to wash those pots and pans."

Qiao Xi didn't deny it, but she did want to get out for a walk. "Nobody wants to do mushroom picking, so I did this to avoid putting our class advisor in a difficult position."

"Hehe." Li Xiaoxiao chuckled dryly. "The class advisor least wants you to take on this task."

"You're Mrs. Qi now, so there can't be any mishaps."

“Speaking of which, Ah Jin should be coming over soon,” Qiao Xi said abruptly.

Li Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, "Qi Jincheng is coming?"

"Yes." Qiao Xi nodded solemnly and said, "Dihua has contracted the development project of Dawang Mountain, and he just happened to come and take a look."

"When did this happen?" Li Xiaoxiao asked with a surprised expression.

Qiao Xi shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know about that."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a little excitement, "Alright, from now on, Dawang Mountain will be Mrs. Qi's property."

Qiao Xi had a different opinion: "That's a company project, not a personal one."

Li Xiaoxiao said half-jokingly, "When I come here again, you can't charge me an entrance fee."

Qiao Xi teased her, "You, Miss Li, can't possibly be short of a little money?"

"I..." Li Xiaoxiao was all smiles a second ago, but the next second her foot slipped and she fell to the side, "Ahhhhh!"

"Watch out!" Jun Jiuge shouted.

But it was too late. Although Qiao Xi managed to grab Li Xiaoxiao, she couldn't resist the force of inertia and was pulled down as well.

There was a threatening person next to them, and the two of them slid down naked.

Jun Jiuge wanted to make a move, but the two of them had already gone down.

"Qiao Xi! Li Xiaoxiao!"

After checking the situation, Jun Jiuge prepared to go down to find them, but even with her skills, it would be a bit difficult for her to go down.

Qiao Xi didn't know how many times she rolled before she finally stopped.

Fortunately, she didn't faint, but her whole body ached. Her clothes were torn by the branches when she rolled down, and she inevitably had many scrapes and abrasions.

She endured the pain and managed to get up.

"Li Xiaoxiao? Li Xiaoxiao?" She looked around for someone, but didn't hear any sound.

She grabbed onto the tree trunk beside her and slowly stood up.

"Li Xiaoxiao, are you still alive?"

"If you're alive, make a sound."

"..."

Qiao Xi called out as she searched for someone, her heart beginning to race with anxiety.

"Li Xiaoxiao!"

"I'm here."

A hand reached out from five meters ahead.

Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. There were weeds everywhere, so she couldn't walk faster and could only wade through them little by little.

Li Xiaoxiao fell into a pit, but the pit wasn't deep, so she wasn't allowed to lie down, and Qiao Xi couldn't see her hands.

Qiao Xi squatted down by the pit and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Something seems to be wrong." Li Xiaoxiao was indeed stunned from the fall. If she hadn't heard someone calling her, she wouldn't have been able to react for a while.

Qiao Xi reached down, trying to pull her up.

Li Xiaoxiao gave her hand, trying to stand up with her help, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, "Ouch ouch ouch!"

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xi asked hurriedly.

"I can't stand up, my legs hurt so much." Li Xiaoxiao gave up and leaned against the wall.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to walk down the slope and come to Li Xiaoxiao.

"What happened to your leg?" she asked, wanting to check where she was injured.

Li Xiaoxiao noticed her torn clothes and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"It's just a scratch, nothing serious." Qiao Xi wasn't that fragile.

It's lucky that you didn't break any arms or legs after rolling down from such a height.

Li Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in her leg and said nervously, "I think my leg is broken."

If it really breaks, that would be troublesome.

Qiao Xi had no experience in wilderness survival and didn't know how to treat a broken leg.

Just then, Jun Jiuge arrived.

"Qiao Xi".

Hearing this voice, Qiao Xi felt a sense of relief, and Li Xiaoxiao looked at her as if she had seen a savior.

“Ninth Master,” she looked at Jun Jiuge pitifully.

"What's wrong with her?" Jun Jiuge asked.

"I can't move my legs," Qiao Xi replied.

Jun Jiuge then squatted down, placed her hand on her leg, and gestured to her, "Try moving it and see."

"I can't move." Li Xiaoxiao didn't dare to move at all.

Jun Jiuge asked again, "Can't you move either of your legs?"

“This leg just won’t do,” Li Xiaoxiao said, pointing to her right leg.

Jun Jiuge first pressed down on her thigh, "Does it hurt here?"

"It doesn't hurt." Li Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Then she pressed her knee again. "And here?"

"It doesn't hurt." Li Xiaoxiao shook her head again.

Jun Jiuge continued her examination, placing her hand on Li Xiaoxiao's ankle. Li Xiaoxiao immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"The bones are fine, but the ankle is sprained," Jun Jiuge concluded.

If it's a dislocation, she can fix it, but a sprain won't heal quickly.

"We need to find a way out first," Jun Jiuge said seriously.

"Ninth Master, did you come down from up there?" Qiao Xi asked.

"Hmm." Jun Jiuge said bluntly, "You can't get up there."

The implication was that if she didn't care about them, she could go up herself.

Qiao Xi glanced around and muttered to herself, "There doesn't look like a road around here, and probably no one passes by."

"Then what do we do?" Li Xiaoxiao dragged her sprained ankle, making it difficult for her to walk.

"Check the cell phone signal," Jun Jiuge gestured to them.

Qiao Xi and Li Xiaoxiao were looking for their phones at the same time. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoxiao's phone died, while Qiao Xi's phone was still working, but it couldn't get a signal.

"No signal," she said helplessly.

Jun Jiuge doesn't have the habit of carrying a mobile phone, and she didn't bring it with her this time when she went out.

Li Xiaoxiao said with a look of self-reproach, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't been watching where I was going, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble with you."

"If it really doesn't work out, then just leave me alone," Li Xiaoxiao said against her will.

Because it was something she said against her will, Qiao Xi didn't respond to her.

Jun Jiuge didn't take it seriously at all. She said truthfully, "She can't walk in her condition."

Qiao Xi took out her phone, opened the compass app, and asked, "Do you remember which direction we came from?"

“North,” Jun Jiuge replied affirmatively.

"Shall we head north?" Qiao Xi suggested.

Jun Jiuge analyzed rationally: "We didn't go very far when we came in, but when we came down just now, I roughly calculated that the deviation from where you fell from above is quite large."

"Moreover, the mountain is not a cube; the space below is much larger than the space above. If you keep going north, you can indeed get out, but we don't know how long it will take, and you might end up going deeper and deeper."

"Do you have any thoughts?" Qiao Xi also maintained a rational mind; in this situation, she had to remain absolutely calm.
