Fu Nanxiao finally heard these words. He had always wanted to bring Jiang Yilai and her son back to the Fu family, but she had her concerns.
This incident dispelled her concerns, but for him, the price was a bit too high.
Fu Nanxiao held her shoulder, remaining calm.
"I have the map here. We'll follow the designated route to avoid getting lost. If the rain gets too heavy and the ground collapses, we'll have to stop."
Fu Nanxiao patiently explained, but seeing that Jiang Yilai seemed to be listening attentively yet was also distracted, he was not at ease at all.
"Forget it, you're so distracted right now, there's no way I can let you walk by yourself. Let's go together."
Fu Nanxiao said as he helped her to her feet, but Jiang Yilai grabbed his arm and shook her head.
The search and rescue team has now been reduced in size. If they are still walking together, then there is yet another route that has not been found.
"No need, I really can!"
Jiang Yilai took a deep breath and tried her best to appear fine, which made Fu Nanxiao feel even more sorry for her.
He cupped Jiang Yilai's face in his hands and leaned in to press his forehead against hers.
"Listen, no matter what happens, stay calm. I'll be by your side, don't be afraid."
Rain pattered on Jiang Yilai's face, mingling with her tears so deeply that it was impossible to distinguish between them.
Now, only by nodding vigorously can Fu Nanxiao be put at ease.
“I’m not afraid, I will find them.”
"Okay, when we get to the fork in the road ahead, we'll follow the directions we've been told."
"I've got it!"
Fu Nanxiao knew he couldn't dissuade her, and besides, it would be troublesome if the child were really on the mountain in this terrible weather.
If they still couldn't find it, he was afraid Jiang Yilai would break down, so he had no choice but to split up and search as originally planned.
When the two reached the fork in the road ahead, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with reluctance and worry.
"Let's go, don't worry about me."
Fu Nanxiao nodded and walked forward under her gaze.
Jiang Yilai waited for him to leave first because she was afraid he would worry about her following. It's not like he couldn't do that.
Jiang Yilai continued walking forward only after the darkness swallowed up Fu Nanxiao's figure.
Inside the wooden house, the two children hugged each other tightly. Jiang Wenxi's cries were drowned out by the sound of rain. Every flash of thunder made their small bodies tremble.
Nevertheless, Jiang Wenchao tried his best to comfort his frightened sister.
"Xixi, don't be afraid. Mom will definitely find us. I can feel that she is getting closer and closer to us."
"Mommy... will Mommy really come?"
"Of course! Our mom is a superhero. No matter how difficult things get, she'll come to us. Don't cry, Xixi."
"Brother, my hand hurts so much."
"Brother will blow on it for you again. After Mom comes, she will take us to the hospital. Godmother will also cook us something delicious, and Dad will come to stay with us too."
"Really!"
Jiang Wenchao gently blew on the wound on her hand and nodded firmly: "Of course it's true. I would never lie to my sister. Aren't I still by your side?"
Jiang Wenxi sobbed, "I miss my mother so much, and I'm still scared."
When Jiang Wenchao held her arm, he noticed that her skin was very hot, and he quickly touched her forehead, realizing that she had a fever.
It was pitch black inside and outside, and the door was locked, so there was no way to get out.
He was strong and calm, only hoping that his family could find them as soon as possible.
"Don't be afraid, Xixi. I'll sing you a song. You can lean on my shoulder and sleep. When you wake up, you'll see your mom."
