Xiao Baihe leaned against the tree, hugged his knees with both hands, and curled himself up into a ball. Xiao Baihe, who was cold and hungry, was filled with despair at this time.
Expecting Chen Jie to look for her, and fearing that Chen Jie would encounter danger on the way to find her, Xiao Baihe was caught in a dilemma.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of something pressing across the grass. Xiao Baihe suddenly became even more nervous. She kept looking in the direction of the sound. She silently stretched out her hand and took out her usual scimitar, preparing for the final life-and-death struggle.
This time she is the only one facing danger. No matter who the other party is, she must fight with her life.
When Xiao Baihe saw the torch clearly, she felt a surge of excitement and anxiety. She hoped it was the captain who came to look for her, but she was afraid that she would meet those dwarfs.
"lily?
is it you?"
Chen Jie took the torch and looked forward, and saw a figure huddled on the ground. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the dwarf or Lily Xiao.
"team leader?
Is the captain really you?"
Xiao Baihe said with excitement and stood up quickly.
But after squatting for a long time, her legs were already numb. As soon as Lily Xiao stood up, she fell down.
Although there were waves of pain in her body, Xiao Baihe was extremely excited at this time. Especially when the torch came close, Xiao Baihe shed tears of excitement.
"lily?
Why are you on the ground?"
After Chen Jie approached, he saw the person in front of him and quickly walked in the direction of Xiao Baihe.
"Captain, you are finally here. Thank you for not giving up on me... Wuwuwu..." Xiao Baihe could no longer control the panic in her heart, and threw herself directly into Chen Jie's arms, crying loudly.
"It's okay, don't cry, I'm here and I won't let others bully you!"
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe distressedly, not expecting Xiao Baihe to cry like a child.
Seeing Xiao Baihe crying in his arms, Chen Jie felt uncomfortable. It was all because of his bad behavior that Xiao Baihe was here alone and scared!
"It's okay, Lily... don't be afraid, I'm coming..." It was the first time that Chen Jie saw Xiao Baihe collapse like this, and his face was filled with distress.
More of an annoyance, it was all his fault for coming so late and making Lily Xiao so sad.
"Captain, I thought I would die here..." Xiao Baihe couldn't control her emotions at this time and just wanted to vent all the fear in her heart.
Chen Jie also sat on the ground very patiently, gently coaxed Xiao Baihe, and allowed Xiao Baihe to cry.
I don't know how long it took, until Xiao Baihe was tired of crying and withdrew from Chen Jie's arms in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, captain, I just lost my temper."
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with an embarrassed face.
This was the hardest she had ever cried, and she never thought she would be so vulnerable in front of Chen Jie.
"It's okay, how do you feel now?
Do you feel better?"
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe tenderly and stretched out his hand to help Xiao Baihe mess up his hair.
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie in surprise. She didn't expect Chen Jie to be so gentle. Xiao Baihe's mind felt strange at this time. This feeling made her a little unbearable.
"Do you feel better?
Why did you travel so far away alone?
You are not allowed to act alone in the future, do you understand?"
Chen Jie frowned and looked at Lily Xiao.
"Yes, I understand, captain! I'm sorry, I caused trouble for you again..." Xiao Baihe was immersed in the sweetness of joy one second, and fell directly into hell the next second.
Especially seeing Chen Jie angry, Xiao Baihe felt that she had done something wrong.
"I'm not blaming you, I just shouldn't have come to the woods alone. Do you know how dangerous it will be for you tonight if I can't find you?"
Chen Jie said helplessly, not expecting Lily Xiao to have such an impulsive side.
"Captain, I, I came to look for you first... Who knew, you weren't here..." Xiao Baihe said with an annoyed look on her face, feeling that she really failed to succeed and failed.
"Don't act alone again in the future. If I look in the wrong direction, the consequences will be disastrous..." Chen Jie sighed, seeing that Xiao Baihe had been crying for a long time, and he couldn't bear to be too harsh.
"I understand, captain, I won't make such stupid mistakes again."
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie pitifully, with tears in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.
"Okay, let's pack up and go back quickly. They are still waiting for you at home."
Chen Jie thought that the wild boar was still waiting for him.
"By the way, Captain! I came to the woods to tell you that the wound on Chen Yanyan's leg is open and she needs a lot of herbs."
Only then did Xiao Baihe remember her purpose of coming to the woods to find Chen Jie.
"I know, let's get out of here first, it's very dangerous."
Chen Jie was worried about the condition of the wild boar and wanted to go take a look quickly.
Seeing Chen Jie being so anxious, Xiao Baihe quickly stood up. The numbness in her legs made Xiao Baihe go limp. She quickly stretched out her hand to hold Chen Jie's arm to avoid falling.
"What’s wrong with you?
Where is it hurt?"
Chen Jie subconsciously stretched out his hand to support Xiao Baihe's body. Seeing the pain on Xiao Baihe's face, he thought Xiao Baihe was injured.
"I'm fine, captain, my legs are just numb."
Xiao Baihe said awkwardly, and waited for a while before standing still.
"Since there's nothing wrong, let's leave quickly. The wild boar is still waiting for us in front."
Chen Jie was thinking about the wild boar at this time. When he saw that Xiao Baihe was okay, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Baihe's arm and walked forward.
"Captain, I can go."
Xiao Baihe felt warm when she saw Chen Jie holding her arm, but she didn't want to trouble Chen Jie.
"It's okay, it's dark and the road is slippery, so I'd better help you."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he handed the torch in his hand to Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe shook his head and said.
"Captain, it's better not to use it. I'm fine. You hold the torch."
"Take it."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he couldn't help but put the torch in Xiao Baihe's hand.
Seeing Chen Jie being so domineering, Xiao Baihe felt sweet in her heart. Looking at Chen Jie's generous back, Xiao Baihe felt very relieved.
Compared with the anxiety before, it is completely different.
“Captain, should we get some herbs back?
Chen Yanyan’s wound is open... she needs a lot of herbs."
Xiao Baihe has not forgotten her mission and hopes that Chen Jie can get more herbs back.
"Lily, do you want to tell me the truth?"
Chen Jie suddenly spoke, which startled Chen Yanyan.
"What?
Captain, what are you talking about?
Why can’t I understand?”
Xiao Baihe pretended to be stupid towards Chen Jie, but her heart was filled with doubts.
