If she falls, Lin Xiyao might roll a great distance.
Time seemed to stand still between Lin Xiyao and Han Mingyue. Lin Xiyao felt that the chirping of insects and birds around her had stopped for a moment.
Only the pounding of her own heart, like a drum, reverberated, making Lin Xiyao blush and turn her ears red.
Cui Zhu turned pale with fright and rushed to Han Mingyue and Lin Xiyao.
Han Mingyue quickly helped Lin Xiyao up and had her support Cuizhu.
"Miss, are you alright?" Cuizhu asked anxiously.
Just now, Lin Xiyao let go of her hand and pushed her back a little, just to prevent her from falling down with her.
At this moment, Cuizhu was filled with self-blame, feeling that it was all her fault for not supporting Lin Xiyao properly, which almost caused her to fall down.
Lin Xiyao shook her head and said, "I'm fine, let's go!"
Cui Zhu nodded and helped Lin Xiyao continue jumping forward.
However, after only a few hops, Lin Xiyao was about to fall to the ground again.
Han Mingyue sighed helplessly, quickly helped Lin Xiyao up, and then squatted down in front of her.
“Miss Lin, come on up, I’ll carry you on my back. By the time you jump back like this, it will be late.”
However, Han Mingyue waited for several breaths but Lin Xiyao did not climb onto his back.
He had no choice but to stand up and see what was going on.
Turning around, I saw Lin Xiyao pouting and turning her head to one side.
"Who wants you to carry me! I can jump back myself!" Lin Xiyao said willfully.
Lin Xiyao had taken Han Mingyue's teasing to heart and was determined not to let such an unserious person take her words out of her head!
Han Mingyue frowned slightly and said, "Do you think I want to carry you? If you keep delaying like this, we don't know when we'll be able to go home. Gu Zhuang has mobilized almost the entire village to look for you. It's getting late. You don't care about your own safety, but do you, Miss Lin, not care about the safety of others?"
The situation is so critical right now; this is not the time to be reckless.
After we send Lin Xiyao back to the Gu family, we'll need to send someone to find the others.
As darkness fell, the mountains became increasingly dangerous. The villagers of Gu Village spent their days tending their fields; if they encountered any wild beasts, they would be no match for them.
Han Mingyue was genuinely angry, so her tone of voice became noticeably harsher.
He couldn't help but think to himself that if it were Gu Lili in this situation, she definitely wouldn't be so willful and would prioritize the bigger picture.
After saying that, Han Mingyue squatted down in front of Lin Xiyao again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyao pursed her lips, looked at the broad back in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally lay down on it.
Han Mingyue understood the principle of the difference between men and women, but she had no choice but to act expediently in this emergency.
He casually grabbed a dry branch from the side and put it behind him.
He gripped both ends of the branch with both hands, preventing his hands from coming into contact with Lin Xiyao and ensuring that Lin Xiyao wouldn't fall from behind him.
"You should walk forward!"
Han Mingyue spoke up, but still let Cuizhu walk in front.
Cuizhu looked at her young mistress with concern, only to see Lin Xiyao nod slightly. Cuizhu then agreed and followed Yuanbao.
As she walked, Han Mingyue suddenly felt a warm, damp sensation on the back of her neck.
There was also Lin Xiyao's very soft sobbing.
"Miss Lin, please...please don't cry. I was a bit hasty in my words just now. I'm sorry..." Han Mingyue said somewhat flusteredly.
Han Mingyue's biggest fear is girls crying.
His tears threw him into a panic, leaving him unsure of what to do.
Lin Xiyao ignored Han Mingyue, sniffed, and snorted coldly.
"Miss Lin, you can cry all you want, but don't wipe your snot on me!" Han Mingyue teased.
Hearing Lin Xiyao's humming, Han Mingyue understood that Lin Xiyao was feeling a bit better.
Lin Xiyao burst into laughter through her tears and said, "I'm not that disgusting!"
Han Mingyue's joke broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two.
Lin Xiyao also felt that what Han Mingyue said earlier made sense.
But this guy, doesn't he know how to talk to people properly?
Even though her hair is tied up, she is still a woman.
As darkness fell, Yuanbao stopped, made a torch out of dry branches, lit it, and had Cuizhu carry it to continue their journey.
As they walked, Big Yellow, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
Its fur stood on end, its tail was tucked tightly between its legs, and it made a low whimpering sound.
Yuanbao immediately stopped to check the situation.
"What happened?"
Seeing Han Mingyue stop, Lin Xiyao poked her head out and looked ahead.
Han Mingyue cautiously observed her surroundings before carefully putting Lin Xiyao down.
"Quickly help your young lady up!" Han Mingyue said sternly while looking around.
Judging from Dahuang's condition, there's probably a wild animal appearing!
Yuanbao also noticed the danger lurking around them. He threw down the wild boar on his shoulder, pulled Dahuang back, and retreated.
The two surrounded Lin Xiyao and Cuizhu in a protective manner, and then looked around.
Lin Xiyao felt that her heart was beating even faster than when Han Mingyue helped her up earlier.
Moreover, she also sensed the danger around her.
For some reason, Lin Xiyao felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and her hands and feet felt cold.
Han Mingyue had already taken the torch. He carried the torch forward, wanting to see what was making Da Huang so afraid.
Dahuang trembled violently, and Han Mingyue also saw a pair of eyes emitting a cold green light in the firelight from the nearby bushes.
Lin Xiyao and Cuizhu also saw it, and Cuizhu was so frightened that she was about to scream.
Lin Xiyao quickly covered Cuizhu's mouth with her hand. Although Lin Xiyao was also scared at this moment, she understood that if she shouted loudly, it would definitely provoke the wild beast.
The owner of those cold, dark eyes slowly emerged from the grass.
“That…that’s a wolf!” Lin Xiyao said tremblingly, pointing to the wolf not far away.
No wonder Dahuang was so scared; this was bloodline suppression.
Han Mingyue stared straight at the wolves and said, "To be precise, not just one, but a whole pack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many pairs of green eyes appeared around them, watching them intently.
Before long, the figures of the other wolves also appeared.
Lin Xiyao roughly counted them, and there were as many as seven or eight.
"Miss... Waaah, what should we do?" Cuizhu couldn't help but sob softly.
I thought I would be saved once I got out of the deep pit, but now I've encountered a pack of wolves.
In this situation, it would be safer to stay in the deep pit.
