The man was speechless, but it was too dark for Zhou Jie to see his expression!
"That girl should leave!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jie turned and left.
Man... I was just saying that casually, can't you just hold on a little longer?
Just when he was feeling disheartened and about to give up, he suddenly heard a woman's clear voice: "I'll throw this at you, can you tie it to yourself?"
The man looked up in surprise, only to find that Zhou Jie had somehow acquired a rope in her hand.
But this rope...
Seeing that Zhou Jie was only wearing a simple inner garment, it turned out that she had torn off her belt and outer garment and tied them together to form this rope.
The man glanced at a tree not far away, his voice unusually calm: "Tie one end of the rope to the tree, then throw it to me!"
The woman looked thin and frail; he didn't want to pull her down before he even got to the top!
Half an hour later, the man finally climbed up, panting heavily.
He lay on his back on the edge of the cliff, looking at the moon hanging in the sky, panting heavily!
I can't believe he actually climbed up!
He even thought he was going to fall and die!
"Thank you, young lady!"
Zhou Jie chuckled: "It's nothing, I didn't do anything! By the way, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Zhou Jie asked with a curious look, and the man smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, girl. Shouldn't you be thinking about how to contact your people right now? In this deep mountain forest, there might be tigers or wolves or something."
roar……
A tiger's roar rang out, startling the man so much that he scrambled to his feet, grabbed Zhou Jie's arm, and said urgently, "Girl, run!"
"My mouth is practically blessed! What was I saying just now?!"
As the man ran, he slapped himself in the face.
Zhou Jie found it amusing, but she didn't refuse and continued running forward with the man.
The roars of the tiger behind them grew closer and closer. The man saw a large tree not far away and scrambled up it in a flash, faster than a monkey.
After he climbed up, he handed Zhou Jie's waistband down.
"Girl, tie this around your waist and come up quickly!"
Zhou Jie... looking at the familiar belt, her ears turned slightly red.
Looking down at her clothes, Zhou Jie felt fortunate that it was nighttime; otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face anyone!
"Hurry up, girl!" The man was extremely anxious when he saw that Zhou Jie was still in a daze at this point!
Zhou Jie hesitated for a moment, then tied the belt around her waist. The man exerted force on her from above, and she nimbly climbed up the tree.
When she was little, she was a tomboy. She had climbed trees before, and she was almost as fast as a man.
The man in the tree stared in disbelief. He belatedly realized that perhaps the girl in front of him didn't need him at all!
"Girl, did you used to climb trees?"
The man still asked the question.
"I used to climb trees when I was little! But my mom beat me a few times, so I never dared to climb them again! I didn't expect that I still have this tree-climbing skill!"
The man's lips twitched violently. He knew many women who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but very few who could climb trees.
"That girl had some rather unusual hobbies when she was little!"
The space in the tree wasn't large, and the two of them were pressed tightly together. Zhou Jie could even feel the man's slightly burning heat and his breath.
I sprayed it near her ear; it felt warm and slightly itchy.
Zhou Jie felt her ears burning slightly, a feeling she had never experienced before.
"Young lady, we still don't know your name."
The man was also a little awkward; her cheeks flushed, and she didn't know where to put her hands. Luckily it was nighttime, otherwise, the two of them would have been even more embarrassed.
"Zhou Jie!" Zhou Jie gave her real name directly, and the man smiled: "That's a really nice name!"
roar……
The tiger still ran up to them, stopped under the tree, wagged its tail, and raised its head to roar at the tree.
The man's expression changed: "Why is this tiger chasing after the two of us!"
Zhou Jie... could she say that the tiger came looking for her?
However, what temporarily reassured the men was that the tiger was only circling the tree and hadn't bumped into or bitten it. Even so, they still couldn't leave.
Seeing the increasingly agitated tiger below, the man knew that hiding in the tree wasn't a solution.
"Miss Zhou, I'll go down and lure the tiger away in a bit, then you can find a chance to run back!"
Fortunately, there was only one tiger below, which she lured away, and Miss Zhou was safe.
Aren't you afraid of being chased by a tiger?
Zhou Jie raised her eyebrows curiously. She had met many men before, but few were willing to think of others in a life-or-death situation.
Moreover, this man is calm and collected, and doesn't panic when things happen, which is somewhat similar to her brother's personality.
"I'm scared! But firstly, you saved me, and secondly, you're a woman, and I'm a man, so I can't just push a woman out to take the fall when it matters, can I?"
Zhou Jie... turns out she's a chauvinist.
"Alright, Miss Zhou, stop arguing. I'll go down and lure the tiger away in a bit!"
The man's eyes turned cold, and before Zhou Jie could react, he jumped down.
