There was silence all around, with only the sound of the two people's shallow breathing.
Not long after I settled down, I heard footsteps approaching from afar. The group of people were catching up.
Someone almost slipped when running past a pothole. After cursing a few words, he ran forward, never thinking that the person they were looking for was in the dark pit.
As the footsteps faded away, Wen Xi slowly loosened his grip on the thin chain. However, within a moment, the people who had just run over came back and started searching the area again.
"Search carefully, there's an open space ahead, the person must be here!"
"yes!"
Several voices responded one after another.
Wen Xi listened to the sounds and counted, and judged that there were five people on the other side.
What her senior brother taught her was very practical, but it was not a miraculous skill after all.
With her current skills, she should have no problem dealing with one or two people, but if she had to face five people at once and also have to pay attention to take care of the unconscious He Tingyan, her chances of winning were almost zero.
The voices were getting closer, and the other party started a street-level search and was now heading this way.
Wen Xi's heart was beating like a drum.
If they were discovered, a fierce battle would be inevitable. If support didn't arrive in time, the situation would be extremely dangerous. The worst-case scenario would be that both she and He Tingyan would...
Wen Xi's habit is always to decide how to deal with the situation based on the worst possible consequences, so that he can leave room for maneuver.
After realizing the situation she was facing, she made a quick decision to save as many people as possible!
Without thinking any more, she carefully removed the leaves above her head and prepared to climb out of the pit.
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the narrow pit: "Where are you going?"
Hearing this voice, Wen Xi was shocked all over. He turned around suddenly and met the pair of eyes that were slightly shining in the dark. He was surprised and happy.
"You woke up He Tingyan?!"
"Um."
"How does it feel? Your head..."
He Tingyan interrupted her and repeated the question in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"
Wen Xi remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Tingyan got angry and pulled her a little harder.
"So, are you planning to run out and lure them away like you did that time at Tuanshan?"
"I'm not injured and can run and jump, so I should be able to hold out for a while. I've already notified people to come over. As long as we can hold out for this period..."
"No." He Tingyan pushed himself up and stood up, rejecting her without even hearing the rest of her words. "You stay right here and don't go anywhere!"
"But……"
"With me here, it's not your turn to take action. Have you forgotten what I said?"
As He Tingyan spoke, he pulled the man back into the pit, then put his hands on the edge of the pit and tried to jump out.
Wen Xi grabbed his sleeve.
"Then you're not allowed to go either!"
"I am a man."
"So what if you're a man? Can't men die? The blood on your head hasn't stopped yet!"
He Tingyan's words made Wen Xi angry.
This aluminum alloy straight man only allows the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps.
"I'm fine, Xiaoxi," He Tingyan coaxed in a rare gentle tone, "Be obedient and let go."
"No!" Wen Xi grabbed his sleeve tightly, looked up at him, and said with an extremely firm expression, "If you want to leave, we leave together. If you want to stay, we stay together!"
He Tingyan was stunned.
Does this mean that I want to live and die with him?
He Tingyan's heart moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a sound of fighting outside.
He listened attentively, then leaned back into the pit: "Okay, let's stay here together."
