Xie Mengxuan calmed down when she saw he was coming back to the cave. Gu Yusheng sank into a deep coma while he was coming over to Xie. However, she could do nothing but stare at him. When he fell down on the ground, she slowly moved over to him. She was bewildered, and her fingers shook with uncertainty in his eyes.
She was familiar with the moves that Gu Yusheng had used to fight the tiger just now. She knew that it was the swordsmanship of Gu Family because she had seen it several times when she was a little girl. And at present, he must be good at this kind of martial art.
But she couldn"t trust him thoroughly even though she recognized his sword techniques. She was excited that her Sheng Big brother was still alive, but she needed to be wary of him.
After taking a deep breath and calming her mood, she put her hand on the collar of Gu Yusheng and took it off to expose his shoulders. She looked around and then found a mark on his shoulder, which made her completely relaxed.
"Yes, it is him. He is Gu Yusheng."
She smiled for being a survivor of the disaster. But she stopped being happy soon because both she and Gu Yusheng were crippled now. To make things worse, Gu Yusheng was injured, and it was unsafe in the forest, especially at night. "What should we do?" She thought.
She sat next to Gu Yusheng and felt desperate while looking at those tall trees.
Even if she shouted loudly until her throat went sore, no one would hear her since the villagers wouldn"t come to this dense forest.
"Big brother Sheng?" she whispered to him. But looking at his legs, she wondered whether she should wake him up. He really should have a rest. But suddenly, she was surprised at a sudden sound.
"Oh, what bad luck! The tiger just left for a while, then here comes the wolf?"
"Am I doomed to be killed at this place?"
Xie Mengxuan held Gu Yusheng, bit her lower lip. She gazed in the distance, and took a deep breath. Her heart raced uncontrollably, and she couldn"t help feeling anxious.
As the sound became increasingly louder, a tall man eventually appeared from the bush.
"Darling, I found you!"
She quietened her breathing when she realized that the man was Geng Zhishan.
She was surprised that he really came here to find her but pretended to be angry and threw a small stone at him, "Why didn"t you give a sound at all? Do you know you were going to scare me to death?!"
Xie Mengxuan said, with a little choke in her voice, and when she stopped roaring, she began to gasp, as if she were about to suffocate.
Geng Zhishan knelt in front of her and urgently apologized, "I am sorry. It was out of my expectations. I was afraid that if I make some noise, I will incur something terrible. Please don"t be angry, and please don"t cry?"
"I didn"t cry at all." Xie Mengxuan glared at him and wiped her tears. Just when she turned her head to check Gu Yusheng, Geng Zhishan"s face turned deadly pale. He pointed at the man on the ground and said in a serious voice, "Darling, let go of his hands!
Xie Mengxuan did not hear what he said but urged him, "Geng Zhishan, help me look at him. Is he alright?"
Geng Zhishan stood motionless and look at her with aggrieved eyes, "Darling, I didn"t go home in order to find you for these two days. I"ve gone over the whole forest, but you are caring about another man here. Why don"t you care about me?"
It seemed that Geng Zhishan was abandoned by Xie Mengxuan while saying that. However, Xie Mengxuan just frowned and said, "Show your mercy, ok? Do you know if he hadn"t saved me, I would be dead now?!"
Geng Zhishan bit his lips, "Even so, darling, you should care more about me."
Xie Mengxuan should have turned angry at his stubbornness, but she didn"t vent her fury. She took a deep breath and explained softly, "I know you have been looking for me these past two days, but I am not feeling well as my clothes have not been dried the whole time. Don"t you think it is necessary to get us out of here first and talk about other things later?"
Geng Zhishan nodded, looked at Gu Yusheng indifferently, and said, "Darling, I can take you out safely on my own. Then I will come back and take him."
Xie Mengxuan looked at the serious expression of Geng Zhishan and asked, "How far is it from here to Zhoujia Village?"
"It"s about a two-hour journey." Geng Zhishan said without a second thought.
Xie Mengxuan heard the words; she became unhappy when she thought of what had happened just now and yelled immediately, "What a long distance! There are many beasts in the forest, and anything is possible during the two hours. I oppose your suggestion. We can"t leave him alone here."
Geng Zhishan wondered, "Why not?" He had different thoughts indeed, but he still looked honest and straightforward, "But we don"t have any other choice except leaving him alone."
Xie Mengxuan looked at her legs and said with a deep voice, "I can go by myself if you give me a stick."
Geng Zhishan also knew her legs were heavily injured. His complexion changed, and he raised his tone, "Darling, how can I let you go by yourself?"
Xie Mengxuan frowned and shouted at him, "Cut the c.r.a.p! If you can"t take him with us, then you can go yourself. I will stay here."
She persevered in her ideas, and it was difficult to shift her att.i.tude. Geng moved his lips and stopped saying more. He looked at the unconscious man and whispered, "Do I really have to take him?"
"Yes, he didn"t leave me alone when I was injured. Now, in return, can I leave him alone?" Xie Mengxuan didn"t know why she was so confident at her protest.
"All right." Geng Zhishan sighed and removed the kettle from his waist, "Darling, please drink some water. I need to do some preparations first." While speaking, Geng Zhishan stood up to look for a suitable stick. Xie Mengxuan sighed and looked at the man with his drooping head and then wondered if she was being too strict. But Xie Mengxuan was thirsty, so she drank some more water.
She put down the kettle and looked around. When she was wondering why Geng Zhishan still hadn"t come back, she had a splitting headache, and then fainted.
Geng Zhishan came out later, and he did not appear as simple and honest as before. He went to Gu Yusheng"s side and indifferently stood next to him. Why did the man get close to Xie Mengxuan?
Geng Zhishan looked at the man, and the thought of killing him flashed in his mind. He couldn"t be left alive for he was an unknown stranger. He took out a dagger from the basket and held it high; then he thrust it at the heart of GuYusheng directly.
