Fang Yuan: "......"
Given Master Guan's petty nature and his exceptional ability to dredge up old grievances.
He decided to be an ostrich.
And the amount of the apology gift was doubled.
"I have already spread the word that the project will be completed today."
He said weakly.
Grandpa Dai gave him a deep look, "You've improved!"
Fang Yuan was really annoyed.
He nearly peed his pants after a near-death experience.
That's all you got?
"What if I hadn't kept my composure and had just run away?"
He looked at Leng Lie with dissatisfaction.
He can't run up the mountain, but he can come down.
Why should we be terrified and play along with their act?
It's still so long!
Leng Lie gave a cold, disdainful sneer.
Guan Yuxi sighed, "Then perhaps we're already arranging your funeral."
Seeing his dissatisfaction, she added with a smile, "There are no fewer than five people guarding the way down the mountain."
Fang Yuan's mouth dropped open in surprise. "How did you know?"
How did she know?
Guan Yuxi thought to herself, "It's probably someone hiding in the shadows who wants her to know."
The mountain road winds and twists.
Where can people hide, and how many can be hidden?
No one knows better than her!
Those corners of clothing that were pulled back despite all efforts are the best proof.
"Grandpa Dai, are you ready?"
Guan Yuxi's expression was more serious than ever before.
Grandpa Dai nodded solemnly.
"I've already had the things sent down the mountain, please take care of them!"
He bowed solemnly.
Fang He scratched his head. "Teacher, are you hiding something from me?"
Most importantly, he actually told Guan Yuxi but not him!
Guan Yuxi returned his greeting and said with a smile, "You're too kind."
"It's my duty to do things after I get paid."
The two waited until 10 p.m. before heading down the mountain with torches.
Guan Yuxi walked ahead angrily.
Leng Lie, covered in mud, chased after him.
"I've already told you, I'm not going to make that kind of money, but you just wouldn't listen!"
"It's getting dark, and the path down the mountain is difficult to walk. What if someone falls down?"
She walked along, complaining incessantly.
Leng Lie was annoyed by what he heard, so he stepped forward, grabbed her, and hoisted her up in his arms!
Guan Yuxi screamed in fright and hugged his head tightly, "Put me down!"
The basket is poking my face! I'm going to be disfigured...
She struggled to her feet and punched him several times, yelling, "Leng Lie, you bastard!"
That little bit of strength was only enough to tickle him.
With a dark expression, Leng Lie slung the basket over her back.
Then, without saying a word, he picked her up and carried her on his back.
"Slap, slap, slap."
The sound of a branch breaking underfoot.
It was especially loud in the quiet of the night.
Then came the rustling sound of leaves being gently brushed aside.
"What if there are wolves?"
Guan Yuxi, her voice trembling, hugged Leng Lie's back tightly.
Leng Lie pulled her closer, saying, "Where would we get wolves from? It's not like we're in some remote mountain forest!"
"That woman's gotta laugh her head off!"
Guan Yuxi was so angry that she hit him on the head.
He told him to put himself down and raised his voice, "What do you mean I haven't? I've seen it several times when I was a kid!"
"Let's run! I heard wolves always appear in packs..."
Leng Lie scoffed.
He turned and headed towards the grove of trees.
Guan Yuxi stomped her foot in anger, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Are you delivering groceries?
She caught up with him, intending to hand him the torch.
But he accidentally slipped and fell.
The basket slipped off his shoulder, and its contents rolled all over the ground.
"Leng Lie, you bastard, come back here right now!"
"I twisted my ankle and spilled things."
The forest was pitch black.
Silence.
Guan Yuxi gripped the torch tightly, her palms sweating profusely.
She looked panicked.
She held the torch high and retrieved the cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and other items, stuffing them back into her basket.
I don't know if it was fear or if my approach was wrong.
When it was put back, it protruded quite a bit.
Guan Yuxi simply unpacked each of the packaging bags.
First, the wine was put in, then the fruit, candy, and other things were poured in all at once.
Until she had packed everything.
The forest remained silent.
Guan Yuxi's heart was pounding.
She could hear her own heavy breathing.
"Leng Lie, where are you?"
"You, you're not going to scare me!"
"I'm scared!"
She was crying as she picked up her basket and tried to leave.
But I was also afraid that something might really happen to him.
I waited another two minutes.
She couldn't wait any longer.
He mustered his courage and took a wooden stick for self-defense.
They walked cautiously into the woods, step by step.
"Bang!"
A dark shadow rolled past from behind.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Guan Yuxi screamed in fright.
A chorus of birdsong erupted from the quiet valley.
Her voice echoed through the valley.
The echo carried far.
Guan Yuxi squatted on the ground, covering her head, trembling with fear.
A rustling sound came from behind.
Not only did she not dare to look back, but she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
"Leng Lie, you bastard!"
"Come out now!"
"I'm so scared, boohoo..."
I don't know how much time passed.
A commotion came from the woods ahead.
A cold, sharp voice rang out, "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?"
He pulled her up.
Guan Yuxi suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Waaaah...Where did you go?"
