Chapter 48 Why are you adding to the chaos?
Gu Yanxiao took the rope from Tong Aiguo and handed it to Tong Decheng, saying, "Let's both go up together. Then you tie this rope to Xie Zhiqing, and I'll pull her up with the rope while you help her climb down."
Upon hearing Gu Yanxiao's words, Tong Decheng's eyes lit up immediately: "That's fine, that's possible. But Gu Yanxiao, can you hold the rope and lower yourself down by yourself?"
Just as Gu Yanxiao was about to answer, Tong Aiguo said, "I'll go up too. I'll pull the rope with Brother Gu."
"In that case, let's go! The three of us will go up together."
Once the three had made their decision, they didn't delay any longer and started climbing.
Although Tong Aiguo is young, he is indeed very skilled, not much less so than Tong Decheng.
As for Gu Yanxiao, he kept it to himself from the beginning and never made the first move to get close to Xie Manman.
He had saved female comrades before, but those women were all honest and upright, and saving them was his responsibility and an obligation he could not shirk.
But when faced with Xie Manman...
Of course he would save her!
However, you must be careful not to give her any leverage over you, or you'll be in trouble.
Although he was certain he wouldn't be extorted, what if these messy things got back to his wife's ears? Wouldn't that be an insult to her?
Xie Manman was overjoyed when she saw Gu Yanxiao climbing up to her.
She was already thinking about what she should say to express her vulnerability when she was in Gu Yanxiao's arms.
And how moved she was when she saw Gu Yanxiao risk his life to save her, and how she wanted to repay his kindness by marrying him.
She simply couldn't believe that, in this atmosphere, with a delicate beauty like her throwing herself into his arms, Gu Yanxiao could remain unmoved.
However, before she could fully make up her mind, she saw Tong Aiguo and Tong Decheng climbing up behind Gu Yanxiao.
What happened?
Why are they coming along and causing trouble?
If they were still here, how could she possibly have private conversations with Gu Yanxiao?
Xie Manman, who was perched on a tree branch, wished she had two bricks in her hand so she could smash Tong Decheng and Tong Aiguo down.
Even when she was considering whether to bite the bullet and flirt with Gu Yanxiao in front of Tong Decheng and Tong Aiguo.
What happened next left her speechless.
What happened?
Why did Gu Yanxiao fall behind the two of them?
With his skills, how could he be outmatched by Tong Decheng and the others?
Before she could figure it out, Tong Decheng had already come to her, taken the rope off his shoulder, and was about to tie it to her body.
"Ah, what are you doing?" Xie Manman was startled and instinctively tried to dodge.
That dodge almost caused me to fall.
"ah!"
She screamed in surprise, but luckily Tong Decheng caught her in time.
"Xie Zhiqing, don't move around, or you'll fall!"
Tong Decheng's face was very pale. Her movement just now had almost caused him to fall, and nearly made him fall as well.
At that moment, he didn't care that she was a woman anymore and shouted loudly.
When Xie Manman saw him about to touch her waist again, she quickly said, "I...I don't want you to touch me, I want Brother Gu to do it!"
Tong Decheng was amused by her words and said directly, "Xie Zhiqing, we're saving you. I have no interest in you. I'm a married man, and Gu Zhiqing is also a married man. Neither of us is interested in you! So, you can rest assured!"
Tong Aiguo, who had climbed up right behind him, quickly said, "Although I don't have a wife, I have no feelings for Xie Zhiqing!"
Even if Xie Manman had a thick skin, at this moment, her cheeks were burning with embarrassment because of the way these two men were trying to avoid her.
"I...I'm a virgin, how could you..."
"Then just tie me up!" Tong Aiguo handed her the rope decisively: "If we don't tie you up, we won't be able to protect you as we go down."
Hearing him say that, Xie Manman turned her gaze to Gu Yanxiao and said, "Why don't you just have Brother Gu carry me down?"
"What kind of joke are you talking about? It's fine if you want to die, but Brother Gu's life is precious. His parents and wife are still waiting for him at home!"
Tong Aiguo spoke directly without any mercy: "Besides, Xie Zhiqing, you're really funny. My Uncle Decheng wanted to help you tie the rope, but you acted like a chaste and virtuous woman, afraid that he would touch you. You almost made my Uncle Decheng stay there!"
"But now you're begging Brother Gu to carry you and put him on your back. It's like you can't wait for him to touch you?"
"Don't forget, Brother Gu has a wife, and she's pregnant. Aren't you afraid of being charged with indecent assault?"
Seemingly on purpose, Tong Aiguo spoke these words extremely loudly.
Even the crowd waiting below could hear it clearly.
His words startled the villagers.
"What's going on? What is Xie Zhiqing doing? Everyone risked their lives to come into the mountains at night to rescue her because of her, and not only is she uncooperative, she almost caused Uncle Decheng to fall?"
"Even if you want to seduce Gu Zhiqing, you have to know when to start! Is now the time to throw a tantrum and play tricks?"
"Gu, the educated youth, is really unlucky. He was targeted by these cunning female educated youths as soon as he was sent to the countryside."
"Who can blame them? The Gu family is rich! These educated youths can't endure hardship anyway, so they all want to cling to this rich Gu family!"
As Zheng Haiyang and Shao Guoyang listened to the villagers' discussions, they all lowered their heads in shame and indignation.
How embarrassing!
That's so embarrassing!
What exactly is Xie Manman doing?
Is she trying to ruin them, so that they won't have a place to stay in Bakushu Village in the future?
Seeing that everyone below had heard him, Tong Aiguo asked bluntly, "Xie Zhiqing, I hope you can cooperate with us, otherwise we will be powerless to save you even if we want to."
Xie Manman was also afraid that she would really anger Tong Aiguo and the others, so she could only reluctantly take the rope and wrap it around herself a few times.
But she didn't dare to tie it herself, so in the end Tong Decheng tied it for her with a sour face and a look of dissatisfaction.
Even while tying her up, they were careful not to touch her body, lest they get covered in her stench.
After they finished securing them, Gu Yanxiao slowly climbed above them and said, "Now Aiguo and I will hold the rope up here. Brother Decheng, you can help her down!"
