"I really don't know."

"..."

After setting the trap, Sheng Yi took Zhu Qinghao away from that place and went to several other places.

Along the way, we also encountered many traps set by others.

It was only after seeing all this that Zhu Qinghao finally gained a certain understanding of the dangers Sheng Yi had mentioned.

There are some places that you can't tell are traps at all, but small animals can get half dead after walking through them.

After looking around several places, Zhu Qinghao became increasingly cautious, following Sheng Yi step by step, not daring to wander off at all.

Sheng Yi could see it. At first, he felt relieved that Zhu Qinghao had finally become more careful, but later he felt sorry for her.

"Are you alright? Are you tired? Shall I carry you?"

Zhu Qinghao didn't feel particularly tired, but she felt apprehensive walking along the road. However, she was too embarrassed to say it, so she rejected his suggestion without hesitation.

A short while later, Zhu Qing accidentally stepped on a bloodied and mangled squirrel, which startled her so much that she almost jumped up.

That's when she lost her composure and almost stepped into the animal trap next to her. Luckily, Sheng Yi reacted quickly and pulled her back.

Even so, Zhu Qinghao twisted her ankle. Sheng Yi quickly checked her and found that the area had quickly become red and swollen, although it didn't look too serious.

Then, Sheng Yi carried her on his back and refused to put her down no matter what she said.

"Brother Sheng Yi, put me down. I can walk. My foot doesn't hurt too much. I can walk back without any major problems."

“Brother Sheng Yi, I’m really quite heavy…”

"Brother Sheng Yi, are you angry? I didn't mean to..."

Sheng Yi didn't want to respond because he was afraid that he would be persuaded by her and then couldn't help but let her go, but he didn't expect her to think so much.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry, I was just scared."

You know what? If you had gotten hurt in this forest today, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life…

Hearing his dejected tone, Zhu Qinghao didn't say anything more. She simply lay obediently on his back, trying her best not to fall backward and not to add to his weight.

Sheng Yi quickly noticed and paused for a moment.

"Alright, do whatever makes you comfortable. I have plenty of strength. I'm not so weak that I can't even carry a little girl like you. Besides, you're so petite. Even if there were another one, I could still carry him."

Zhu Qinghao, no longer flustered, had other thoughts and pretended to be surprised and suspicious.

"What? Another one? Who else does Brother Shengyi want to carry? Tell me, if possible, I might as well act as your go-between and let you give it a try."

This time, Sheng Yi was honest and quickly shook his head in denial.

"No one. When I was a child, I only ever carried one girl on my back, and when I grew up, I only ever carried one girl on my back."

Hearing this answer, Zhu Qinghao felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and the question from before seemed to be itching to be asked again, as if it would burst out of her throat at any moment.

While she hesitated, she suddenly started talking about things from when the two of them were children.

"When Haohao was little, she wanted to ride a big horse every day. If she couldn't ride it, she would carry it on her back and bounce around. If neither of these things went her way, she would cry and make a fuss..."

Of course, Hao Hao is also very well-behaved. She shares the sweet cakes she finally gets with everyone, which melts people's hearts.

Back then, I couldn't even speak properly, but I was worried about whether others were cold, so I would take off my own jacket and give it to them...

As Zhu Qinghao listened attentively to Sheng Yi's story, images of her childhood seemed to appear before her eyes.
