Ultimately, the fear in her heart outweighed the physical exhaustion. Yan Xin didn't want to encounter snakes, insects, or wild beasts, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep going.
When the sun was high in the sky, Lin Xiazhu and the others finally arrived at their destination. When Yan Xin saw the two houses made of wooden planks, her mentality collapsed again.
She burst into tears.
"Shut up, if you keep crying you'll attract wild beasts, and I won't care about you."
Yan Xin looked at Lin Xiazhu in horror and dared not make a sound. She squatted down and quietly shed tears.
