Chapter Fifty-Seven Ah Yo Wei

  "Ah~ah~ah~" A long, mournful cry startled a flock of small birds in the trees. Xi Mei buried her head in Xuan Yuan Lie's chest and didn't calm down until half a day later.

  With a thud, she lifted her head and found that the person under her had fallen silent. She didn't dare to think about anything else and quickly jumped up from his body. The look of horror on her face hadn't faded yet, and she used her toes to kick him gently. But the person below still didn't make a sound, and Xi Mei thought to herself, "Could it be that I accidentally suffocated him?"

  "Hey, hey, wake up, wake up!" Looking at the really motionless person, Xi Mei was a bit panicked. She put her little finger under his nose and felt a weak breath coming from him, only then did she calm down.

  "Alright, considering how weak you are, I won't take revenge on you. You can stay here by yourself, I'm going home." Patted his own chest, picked up the small bag from the ground and was about to find the way down the mountain.

  After struggling to walk a few more steps, she stopped again and didn't move. Was she just going to leave him like that? But thinking about the way he looked at her with a gaze that seemed to see right through her, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

  Forget it, keep telling myself he's not a good person, who knows if I save him, he'll still put on an act of the farmer and the snake?

  Who would have thought that Xi Mei retreated again after just two steps? However, didn't they just save her? Can she really leave so irresponsibly? This place is not like others, the danger factor is higher, isn't the snake from earlier a good example?

  She hesitated for half a day and struggled for half a day, but finally decided to go back and save him. Not for anything else, just because he had just saved her life. She would rather be called a saint or ignorant, but not helping someone in distress was never her style.

  Besides, the other person was knocked unconscious by her. If he really died, then she would be a murderer. Forget it, just save his life. Anyway, even if she beat him to death, she wouldn't admit that she saved him because of his good looks.

  Although she had the idea of saving him, looking at someone more than twice her height, how could she bring him to a safe place? Xi Mei couldn't help but worry again, and in the next half hour, Xi Mei tried every possible method.

  He rolled over, but after just one circle, he couldn't push anymore. He grabbed the shoulders of two people and used that little bit of strength to scratch his father's itch. After spinning around in place for half an hour, Xi Mei collapsed weakly on the ground.

  "You're too heavy, I can't push you anymore. Why don't I go down the mountain first and then shout for Dad to come and rescue you?" The only response was from the birds chirping on the branches, watching the commotion.

  "Alright, your silence means consent? Then, I'll leave first?" After hesitating for a long time in her heart, Xi Mei finally made up her mind. Just as she was about to leave, she took one last look at the unconscious person on the ground.

  She knew that once she left, they might never see each other again. Given his current state, not to mention his enemies could easily kill him, even the scorching sun a few hours later would be unbearable for him. Under the intense sunlight and excessive blood loss, his life would soon be over.

  "Ugh, I'm so annoyed." She tangled her hair into a knot and grabbed onto Xuan Yuan Lie's leg, no mistake, it was one of his legs.

  After lifting one of his legs, Xi Mei started her difficult 'trek', without realizing that the person on the ground was still prone and being dragged away.

  "Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo." He kept giving himself a boost, fortunately the vegetation in this area was quite lush, so it still helped a bit when pulling.

  Pulling and pulling, my sister suddenly remembered a song she had heard before, called "The Love of the Boatman". "Sister, you sit at the bow of the boat, brother, brother, I walk on the shore, lovingly, lovingly, drifting gently on the water, drifting gently."

  In the mountains, Ma uploaded a tender and soft voice, after she had been amusing herself for half a day, finally discovered a small cave in front of her, shouted loudly, but immediately increased the force in her hands, still shouting in her heart, come on, come on.

  Finally, after going through thousands of hardships and difficulties, I finally managed to drag the person into the cave. After taking a good look around, it's not bad, except for the fact that there's a lot of grass and spider webs everywhere, overall it's still pretty good.

  Zheng Da Liang's cave was suddenly felt by Xi Mei, who had a sharp gaze staring at her back. She turned around with a small degree of speed and couldn't help but smile, not because she didn't cherish her own life.

  But the person in front of me is too funny, when I just dragged him back, his face was facing the ground, so the small stones and grass on the ground scratched his face, although the wound is not big, it's still very funny, so, silly Xi Mei also burst out laughing.

  "Hey, this thick-skinned girl, after laughing to herself for a while, only then noticed the person in front of her was getting darker and darker. After finishing her sulky laugh, she stuttered and said: 'You're awake, you've woken up? I'll go get some water for you, hehe, get some water.'"

  After finishing speaking, she quickly ran out of the cave. Oh my, this person is too scary! Sobbing, I want to go home, but I'd better be honest and serve them well, or else they might get angry and my life won't be guaranteed.

  Finally saw the trace of water in a nearby place, happily jumped over and buried my head on the stone, gurgling and drinking with relish.

  It's not like other places, on the mountain, from time to time, you can see water flowing down from the top of the mountain. This is not rainwater, and she doesn't know what's going on. Anyway, this water has never stopped, even in the driest years. The old people say that this was where the immortals used to live, so there will always be water that never dries up.

  This time, Xi Mei didn't have the leisure to observe whether this was a place where gods had lived. She only knew that if she didn't appear soon, someone would die. Carefully, she scooped up a handful of water from a stone depression and hastily returned to the mountain cave.

  "Brother, the water is here, drink some quickly." As she placed the water to his lips, Xuan Yuan Lie simply gave her a cold glance, but what he got in return was an extremely flirtatious gaze.

  "Heh heh, drink up, I just had some and it's so sweet!" Quickly added by Xi Mei who was being stared at to the point of getting goosebumps.

  I guess he's afraid it's poisonous so he won't drink it? Xi Mei quickly explained.

  Finally, after staring at her for half a day, Xuan Yuan Lie lowered his head and drank the water from Xi Mei's hand. At this time, the water was almost gone, and Xi Mei clearly felt his dry lips touching the palm of her hand, a numb and tingling sensation rising to her heart.

  What followed was an icy chill that spread from his lips, which no one could ignore!

  Looking at the originally little water being drunk up, Xi Mei hastily got up and said: "I'll go scoop some more back, you wait here for me to come back."

  After finishing speaking, he rushed away, leaving Ren Xuan lying against the wall, his eyes becoming increasingly dim and unclear.

  It wasn't until after a dozen or so rounds that the other side showed some signs of not being able to drink, and Xi Mei's face was beaming with smiles, but in her heart she was screaming: "You're so arrogant about your facial paralysis, you're so proud of your skills, but in the end aren't you still being crushed by me, Little Auntie? What are you even trying to do?"

  Although he thought so in his heart, but his face didn't dare to show it, and he asked fawningly: "Brother, I have one more pancake left, and two eggs, do you want to eat them?"

  Looking at that person still closing his mouth without saying a word, Xi Mei, who had experience, handed it over to him, "Brother, you'd better eat something, or how can you hold on?"

  She found that the man still didn't say a word, and now even closed his eyes. Xi Mei then asked tentatively: "You see, it's getting late, I...I think I'll go home."

  "Brother?" Looking at the person who still didn't make a sound, Xi Mei quietly got up and slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave. As she was about to reach the entrance and the person in front of her still didn't say a word, Xi Mei bit her lip and took off running.

  She didn't know that just as her figure had just disappeared from the doorway, Xuan Yuan Lie's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the sharp light in his eyes was not something a ten-year-old child should have? Silently putting the knife back in his sleeve, he looked at the bulging package in front of him.

  Without mentioning him, she said that Xi Mei had just escaped from the demon's grasp and was running down the mountain at a rapid pace. Her heart was pounding so loudly that even she could hear it clearly. Afraid of getting lost again, she scattered some small stones along the way.

  It's as if heaven really heard her prayers, and she managed to get out of that haunted place on her own. Seeing the familiar scenery in front of her, Xi Mei didn't even take a break, and immediately took off running again.

  Just solved one at home, and there's another one!

  At last, after running for nearly half an hour, Xi Mei finally saw the familiar scenery in front of her and pushed open the gate, shouting loudly: "I'm back!"

  In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao heard her voice and quickly wiped the water from her hands, came out to greet her, "You little crazy girl, where have you been running for half a day without coming home? What's with these clothes, why are they so dirty? And what happened to your hair, were you beaten by someone?"

  Facing Zhao's string of questions, Xi Mei couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears, hugging her mother's leg tightly. Zhao was taken aback but quickly comforted her, "Alright, alright, I won't blame you, stop wailing now, or others will think we're inviting wolves into our home."

  Listening to Zhao's teasing, Xi Mei finally wiped away her tears in embarrassment. It wasn't easy for her; going out to play had almost cost her her life, and she had almost lost the chance to see her parents again.

  Thinking of this, tears are about to overflow again. Zhao's family was frightened and hurriedly shouted out Chen Tianfa, "Her father, you come and see what's wrong with Xi Mei, why did she come back and cry?"

  Hearing this, Chen Tian hurriedly walked out of the house, picked up Xi Mei who was still sniffling and cooed: "What's wrong? Who bullied Daddy's precious daughter? Tell Daddy and he'll go beat him up."

  When she heard her father's doting words, Xi Mei finally burst into laughter. Chen Tianfa ruffled her hair and said, "That's right, girls can't always cry, if they keep crying all the time, they won't be pretty."

  After finishing speaking, he hugged his younger sister and walked away.

  "Zhao's wife asked in a puzzled tone: 'What's wrong with her today? Why is she making such a fuss?' Xi Mei, who was standing beside Zhao and acting as if invisible, spoke up: 'Mother, it's nothing. That little girl is afraid you'll scold her, so she took the initiative to cry first, that way you won't scold her anymore.'"

  Zhao heard it and thought it made sense. He perked up his ears to listen to the distant sound of Xi Mei's spoiled voice: "Dad, I want to eat chicken legs for lunch."

  "Alright, give the good baby chicken legs." Chen Tianfa replied without hesitation. After listening to this, Zhao Shi and her daughter Xi Mei didn't say anything, they just looked at the two chickens in the coop that relied on each other for survival and let out a sigh...
