"Bad news!" The man's face paled, and he put Xiao Jinheng down on the ground. "Those people are chasing us again."
Why are they so persistent...
"Ah? Is it the same group from last night?" Xiao Xitian asked sweetly.
Who on earth did this big brother offend to be chased and killed all the way into the deep mountains and old forests?
Judging by his appearance, he didn't look like a heinous villain.
The man nodded, his expression solemn. "It seems you can't return to Dashui for now..."
"Why?" Xiao Jinheng straightened his collar.
The man glanced at him. "The way back is blocked by those people. Do you want to charge through headfirst?"
These two little buns were not afraid of death, but he still wanted to live a good life.
If a life-or-death battle was unavoidable, then so be it.
But what about these two little ones?
"Then if we go in the opposite direction, won't we be getting further and further away from our village..." Xiao Xitian wrinkled her little nose, looking disappointed.
If only she could conjure a helicopter to fly directly back to Dashui Village.
But there was no such thing in her space.
The man shrugged. "If you two don't listen, just keep going forward. If those bad guys catch you, I won't be responsible!"
If they dawdled any longer, by the time the assassins caught up, none of them would be able to escape...
"Where is the opposite direction?" Xiao Jinheng asked, frowning.
The man jumped onto a large rock and looked into the distance. "If I'm not mistaken, there's a dock beyond that mountain. We'll set off by boat then, and dock when it's safe!"
Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng exchanged glances...
They had originally gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but after being washed away by the flood, so many things had unfolded.
Xiao Xitian didn't know if meeting this man was a good thing or a bad thing.
If it weren't for him, would she and the stinky boy have been captured by those bad guys last night?
"Have you two decided? Are you coming with me, or are we parting ways and you'll return to Dashui Village on your own?" the man asked.
Time was running out for them...
Xiao Xitian was a little conflicted and looked at Xiao Jinheng. "Why don't we go with him!"
This person seemed to have some skills.
He could definitely lead them out of Camel Peak Mountain.
Xiao Jinheng was highly vigilant, but he could no longer afford to ponder. "Can you get us back to the village before dark?"
This was a small request, not too much to ask...
The man didn't answer. They definitely wouldn't reach Dashui Village before dark, but he could take them to a safe place.
"Let's see how it goes. Let's go!"
The man jumped down from the large rock, holding a little bun in each hand, and ran swiftly through the dense forest.
Xiao Xitian heard the 'whoosh' of the wind, like riding an electric bike and feeling the breeze, her hair quickly becoming messy...
Xiao Jinheng's clothes were also disheveled, his hair a mess, and a gust of hot wind blew into his mouth, making him cough repeatedly.
It would be terrible if his asthma relapsed. He didn't have his inhaler with him, and he didn't know if the little village kid's satchel still had one.
At the same time, from the place they had just left, Kong Xingzhuo arrived with two dark guards...
The sounds in the dense forest just now had come from them.
Because their throats were hoarse and they hadn't rested for two days and two nights, their voices sounded like bellows when they spoke, no longer like human sounds.
"Cough, cough, Commander Kong, it seems like someone was here just now!" Dark Guard A picked up an apple core from the ground and smelled it.
Seeing this, Kong Xingzhuo's gloomy mood finally brightened...
He looked around. "Young Master and Sweet Baby must have eaten apples here. Their legs are short, they can't have gone far. Let's check ahead!"
They had tracked them from the previous waterlogged area to the cave, and then here.
They were sure to find the young master next.
"Effort always pays off, didn't I say so? Haha..." Kong Xingzhuo grinned foolishly as he ran forward.
The two dark guards followed with drooping heads.
They were like soulless puppets, completely dazed from exhaustion.
If they didn't get any sleep tonight, they would tie Kong Xingzhuo up and untie him after they woke up.
"Commander Kong, you say Sweet Baby is so capable, why didn't she lead the Young Master out of this forest?" Dark Guard B asked curiously.
That little girl was blessed and protected by heaven, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to get out of this forest...
Kong Xingzhuo glared at him. "You know nothing. Young Master and Sweet Baby were washed away by the flood. It's already a miracle that they're alive. If it were other children, could they have survived the mountain torrent?"
Dark Guard B suddenly understood. "I get it. You mean Sweet Baby's good luck was all used up on staying alive, right?"
"Hmph, you're not completely clueless..." Kong Xingzhuo snorted coldly.
At this moment, Dark Guard A squinted ahead. In a daze, he thought he saw a dark figure running rapidly through the trees.
"Commander Kong, my eyes are playing tricks on me. Quickly see if there's anyone ahead!" Dark Guard A said.
Vision definitely deteriorates with prolonged lack of rest.
His vision was already blurry...
Kong Xingzhuo rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked carefully. Indeed, there was a person moving through the forest ahead.
However, the way this person ran was a bit strange, as if they were carrying something under their armpits.
"Oh, that's not the Young Master!" Dark Guard A didn't want to chase anymore. "Look at that guy fleeing in panic, like he raided a tiger's den and stole its cubs..."
"Don't stop, keep chasing!" Kong Xingzhuo felt that things were not that simple.
What if the person they were carrying was the Young Master and Sweet Baby?
He shouted hoarsely, "Stop... stop, cough cough cough!"
No, his throat was too hoarse to shout loudly.
"Quick, you two shout and stop that guy!"
Unexpectedly, the two dark guards opened their mouths wide, and the sounds they let out were smaller than chicks...
No other option, they had to chase with all their might. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The Young Master had been missing for two days and two nights. Governor Chen must have reported this matter to the palace!
Once the Emperor and Empress heard about it, he would be in trouble.
Xiao Xitian and Xiao Jinheng endured the wind for a while and finally adapted to the man's running speed...
"Hmph, these darned dogs are more annoying than wild dogs. They're running so fast, yet they haven't fallen behind!"
The man could clearly feel the footsteps behind him.
He couldn't run fast while carrying children, but his speed was not slow.
"Big brother, aren't you tired? Let's stop and rest..." Xiao Xitian said crisply.
This man's breathing was too steady. He had run for such a long distance on the mountain path, carrying two children, yet he had only sweated a little.
"We can't stop. I just said, those guys are like dogs, very troublesome!!!" The man's gaze was firm, and he ran faster and faster.
Soon, after crossing a mountain, a large river appeared in the river valley, and a simple dock stood by the river.
"Look, there's a small boat there..." Xiao Jinheng shouted.
