Aiko is right, there are no lightning rods here, and if you walk through the woods, there is a risk of being struck by lightning.
Although the hit rate is very low, Chen Jie does not want to take Xiao Baihe to take this unnecessary risk.
"What's wrong?
team leader?"
Xiao Baihe was so cold that she was trembling all over, and even her words were trembling.
"We can't go through the woods, we have to go around that way."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he directly raised his legs and walked towards the other side of the woods.
Xiao Baihe didn't talk nonsense. At this time, as long as he followed the captain, he would be safe.
The two of them walked for almost half an hour. Xiao Baihe was cold and hungry, his steps were shaky, and his expression became dazed.
Suddenly Xiao Baihe staggered and fell towards the ground. Fortunately, Chen Jie noticed something was wrong and reached out to help Xiao Baihe without being injured.
"Lily, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Jie felt that Xiao Baihe's body was limp, and quickly helped Xiao Baihe sit down against a big rock.
"Captain, I feel dizzy and have a little low blood sugar. It's okay. I can do it."
Xiao Baihe struggled to stand up. He stood up two or three times, but did not get up. He fell directly to the ground, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"I'll accompany you, come up."
Chen Jie knelt down and motioned for Xiao Baihe to climb on his back.
The tip of Xiao Baihe's nose felt sour, and hot tears flowed out. In this critical moment, the captain did not give up on her, but wanted to take her away from here with him. Xiao Baihe will remember this love in his heart.
"Captain, I really can."
After saying that, Xiao Baihe gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground in one fell swoop. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the stone beside him. It was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain on his face.
"Be obedient and come up quickly. If you wait any longer, it will be daybreak."
Chen Jie frowned helplessly, feeling that his body couldn't bear it.
Xiao Baihe hesitated for a moment, then threw herself directly on Chen Jie's back. The hot and broad back made Xiao Baihe instantly feel safe.
She has not felt this kind of security for several years.
"Hold on tight."
Chen Jie warned, and stepped forward carefully, stepping very firmly every time, for fear of throwing Lily Xiao behind him.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly bright that Chen Jie fumbled to find the location of the tent. When it finally dawned, Chen Jie also carried Xiao Baihe back to their old home.
"Woof woof woof."
Miracle was the first to notice Chen Jie's figure, rushed towards Chen Jie, and threw himself on Chen Jie's body passionately, making him laugh non-stop.
"My dear, I don't have any hands to touch you now."
Chen Jie looked at the miracle that had been standing in front of him and said helplessly, with Xiao Baihe still on his back, so he couldn't make a move at all.
"Woof woof woof."
Miracle yelled at Chen Jie several times, as if if you don't touch me, I won't let you go.
Hearing the miraculous cry, Lisa and Chen Yanyan, who had not slept all night, hurriedly walked out of the tent. Seeing Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe back together safely, the two seemed a little excited.
"Captain, what's wrong with Sister Lily?"
Chen Yanyan rushed to Xiao Baihe's side with a worried face, wanting to see where Xiao Baihe was injured.
Xiao Baihe's face turned red. In fact, she was not injured at all, and her head was not as dizzy as before. It was just that she couldn't bear Chen Jie's body temperature, so she kept telling herself that she would lie down for one more minute...
In this way, until she returned to the tent, Xiao Baihe was still reluctant to get off Chen Jie's back. This extreme sense of security made her reluctant to let go.
"Lily's leg is sprained and she needs to recover for two days."
Chen Jie said calmly and directly found a perfect excuse for Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe felt nervous and was a little touched when she heard Chen Jie speak for her.
Lisa also walked to Chen Jie's side, raised her head and saw Lily Xiao's face was rosy.
"Lily, are you seriously injured?"
Lisa looked at Lily Xiao with concern and glanced at Lily Xiao's ankles.
"I feel better already, it's not as painful as before."
Lily Xiao twitched her lips in embarrassment. She rarely lied, but when she saw Chen Yanyan and Lisa caring about her, a feeling of guilt swept through her heart.
"I'll send her in first, and you can help her change her clothes. We're both soaked in the rain."
Chen Jie noticed that Xiao Baihe's body became a little stiff. It was probably because the little girl was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed.
Five minutes later, Lisa found a pair of dry clothes and helped Xiao Baihe change clothes with Chen Yanyan.
"I can do it myself. I don't need your help for things like changing clothes."
Xiao Baihe looked at Lisa and Chen Yanyan awkwardly, with uncomfortable expressions on his face.
She had never had anyone help her change her clothes. She had always changed and put on her own clothes, and her ankle was not injured. The purpose of what the captain just said was to help her alleviate her guilt.
"Sister Baihe, don't be polite. If you are injured, act like an injured person. Be obedient and don't be shy."
Chen Yanyan and Lisa cooperated to help Xiao Baihe change into dry clothes.
"thank you all."
Xiao Baihe said with an embarrassed look, always feeling a little weird, even though they were all women, they still felt a little weird.
"Why are you being polite to me? You and the captain are the ones who have the hardest time."
Chen Yanyan said with a smile, without any doubt about Lily Xiao's ankle injury.
Xiao Baihe twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Yanyan's innocent smile, feeling filled with guilt.
She shouldn't have deceived Chen Yanyan, but now she really didn't have the courage to tell the truth. She could only look at Chen Yanyan and Lisa with a guilty face, hoping that nothing would be revealed.
"I'm going to see the captain. You guys are starving. I'm going to get you some food."
Chen Yanyan started chattering on the side, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"I'm here to help you, Lily, take a good rest."
Lisa brought a piece of leather and covered Lily Xiao's body, wanting Lily Xiao to have a good rest.
Xiao Baihe looked at the leather on her body and felt even more guilty. She thanked her and lay down directly. She didn't want to face Chen Yanyan and Lisa again. She was afraid that she would not be able to help telling the truth directly.
Fortunately, Chen Yanyan and Lisa saw Lily Xiao lying on the bed, closed her eyes, turned around and left, which made Lily Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.
The two people came outside the tent and saw Chen Jie warming himself by the fire, holding a bottle of coconut juice in his hand and drinking it with gusto.
"Captain, are you tired? I'm going to cook some food for you and Sister Lily now, and have a good rest after eating."
Chen Yanyan said, taking out the broth she had cooked before, planning to heat it up and give it to Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe.
This was specially set aside by Chen Yanyan because she was afraid that they would be hungry if they came back late.
I have to say that Chen Yanyan is becoming more and more like a virtuous little daughter-in-law.
