Lu Yuan was immediately annoyed that he hadn't obtained the upgrade crystal, but he couldn't go back there now. He could only drag the girl and follow Da Huang back the way they came.
She didn't know how long she had been running, or if there was anyone behind her. The girl could no longer run. Although she had just eaten a large piece of chocolate, her strength was almost exhausted. In addition, she had serious injuries, and finally collapsed to the ground.
Lu Yuan helped the other person up.
A look of pain crossed the girl's face. The wound on her foot had reopened after the brief run, and her entire foot was now covered in blood.
If they keep running like this, their legs will definitely be ruined.
"Don't worry about me, let's go! They might come after us again!"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Stop talking nonsense. I've already rescued you. Are you suggesting we let them take you back? Wouldn't it be better if I didn't rescue you at all?"
"But……"
The girl wanted to say something, but Lu Yuan interrupted her.
"Hurry up and get on, I'll carry you!"
The daughter hesitated for a moment, then obediently climbed onto Lu Yuan's back. At this moment, Lu Yuan couldn't care less about anything else and could only carry the girl and run towards the distance again, while Da Huang followed behind, providing cover as he ran.
I don't know how long I ran, but the shouts of the pursuers behind me finally disappeared.
Lu Yuan sat down and placed the girl on a large rock.
"Tell me why they're chasing you. And you've been here for so long, if they wanted to do something to you, they would definitely find a way. You're definitely hiding something from me!"
The girl finally spoke up.
"Because I possess the secret of a grain production base."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"What? You had food in your hands, so why didn't you give it to them back then? Instead, you chose to suffer here for so long?"
A look of pain crossed the girl's face.
"Because this food is related to the lives of thousands of people. If they are all taken away, these people will definitely starve to death!"
A hint of frustration appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
"Damn it, do you still want to be a savior? Can you even help this world?"
The girl sighed.
"There's no other way. We've already persevered for so long, we can't just give up halfway!"
Lu Yuan shook his head, increasingly unable to understand what this girl was thinking. She had actually been tortured for half a year for the sake of that grain. He really didn't know what kind of person she was.
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person.
"Your wound needs to be treated as soon as possible. I'm going to take you to my place now, but there are only about thirty people there. When we get there, you must follow my orders in everything, understand?"
The girl nodded.
"You saved me, my life is yours now, whatever you say goes! Even if you want to..."
Looking at the expression on the other person's face, Lu Yuan felt immediately annoyed.
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, I already have a girlfriend!"
A blush crept across Kong Hanting's face. She didn't say anything more, realizing she had misunderstood Lu Yuan's meaning. She thought Lu Yuan wanted her to exchange her body for the life-saving grace.
After walking with Lu Yuan for a while, the girl suddenly asked a question.
"Could I borrow your phone for a moment? I want to make a call."
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person warily.
What do you need a phone for?
"I want to ask if my parents are still alive, and about that batch of grain."
"Ugh, this damn sympathy. Okay, I'll get in touch with them for you right away!"
So Lu Yuan handed the phone to the other person, and the girl quickly took it and dialed a number from her memory.
The call was finally answered after a long pause. The other person sounded wary and immediately asked a question.
"Who are you?"
The girl's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly spoke into the phone.
"Mom, it's me, Tingting!"
The other person hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a slight tremor in their voice.
"Tingting, is that really you? Are you still alive?"
"It really is me, Mom. How are you and Dad doing?"
"We're alright, are you okay? Where have you been all this time? We've been looking for you so hard!"
The girl didn't waste words with her mother; instead, she asked directly.
Where are you now? Have you moved?
"Oh, we're currently in Shanxi Province. All the grain and other supplies have already been transferred here. When are you coming? Where are you? Should we send someone to pick you up?"
"I'm in Qingshui City right now and can't get there for the time being. I'll contact you when I'm ready. Please take good care of yourselves!"
After saying that, the girl hung up the phone and handed it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan did not expect that the other party had already moved a large amount of grain to Jin Province. Jin Province was the place they were planning to go. They were just waiting for Chen Ke and the others to bring back good news before they would move the grain.
The girl clearly noticed the expression on Lu Yuan's face, so she asked cautiously.
"Do you have people in Jincheng too? I can tell my parents and ask them to go and meet you!"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't know exactly where Chen Ke and the others had arrived, but they had been traveling for about three days and should be almost there by now.
