Lin Jiu held his breath, and the dark shadows around him whispered to each other.
"Why is everyone gone? I just saw someone over here!"
"I followed him here too, but I can't find him."
"They couldn't have disappeared out of thin air. Give me a thorough search!"
…
These people didn't bring any tools, and they all pulled the wheat stalks with their hands.
Crash!
Crash!
The only sound Lin Jiu could hear was the sound of these people pulling out wheat straw with their hands.
Soon, a person was searching less than 5 meters away from them.
Lin Jiu looked up at Huo Shen, who shook his head.
Suddenly a caterpillar landed on Lin Jiu's arm.
Lin Jiu opened her eyes wide and was about to shout, but Huo Shen covered her mouth with his hand and quickly flicked the caterpillar away with his fingertips. He didn't expect that Lin Jiu, who was always thought to be fearless, would actually be afraid of caterpillars.
The man searching them was getting closer.
Lin Jiu frowned. If he was discovered by these people, he would definitely not take action in front of Huo Shen. What if Huo Shen couldn't beat these people?
The sound of hands pulling wheat straw was getting closer and closer.
Three meters.
Two meters.
Lin Jiu saw Huo Shen's clenched fists, his muscles tense.
"Ouch!" The man suddenly shouted one meter away from Lin Jiu.
Huo Shen and Lin Jiu, who were hiding in the wheat field, stared at the man closely and saw him covering his hands and screaming in pain.
"What happened? Did you find it?" People who were searching rushed over.
Lin Jiu felt Huo Shen's hand holding hers tightly, as if to comfort her and tell her not to panic.
"I can't find my brother! My wrist was cut by straw and the bleeding won't stop. Come and help me!"
"Brother, we didn't bring any tools, and my hands were cut several times."
"Forget it, forget it. I'll report Huo Shen missing to the higher-ups and ask them to send more people over."
These people left cursing.
Lin Jiu felt her body lighten as Huo Shen grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the wheat field.
"Let's leave now." Huo Shen said softly, taking Lin Jiu away.
At this time, Lin Jiu discovered that there were several cuts on the back of Huo Shen's hand caused by the straw and it was still bleeding. No wonder she felt her face wet when Huo Shen covered her mouth just now.
"Your hand is broken, let me bandage it for you."
Huo Shen stopped and looked up, only to find that his hand was broken. "It's okay, just a minor injury."
"Are we just going to walk back like this?" Lin Jiu was not a pampered person, he just felt that it was unsafe to move around in the wheat field like this, as it would be easy to be spotted.
"Give me your hand." Huo Shen stretched out his hand to Lin Jiu.
"What?" Lin Jiu was very alert.
"I'll carry you." Huo Shen said without allowing Lin Jiu to refuse, and directly pulled her onto his back.
"Haven't you ever been carried on someone's back? Why don't you hook your hands around my neck?" Huo Shen's lips curled up slightly.
"No." Lin Jiu reluctantly put his arms around Huo Shen's neck.
"Then give me your first time."
Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Put me down!"
Huo Shen took a leisurely step and said, "You got angry just because I joked with you. I didn't expect you to be afraid of caterpillars?"
"Why can't I be afraid?"
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid." Lin Jiu looked up at the sky, which was filled with bright stars.
