Like a child who hasn't woken up from a nightmare, she kept crying with tears in her eyes.
Wiping away her tears, she said incoherently: "I thought I would never see you again... It's so scary here. I've been waiting for a long time and no one came to save me. I thought, I thought you wouldn't come to save me...
"
This place was simply a hell, a hell that would swallow people and drag them into a terrifying whirlpool. She didn't know how long she could hold on, and she was already planning to give up.
"If you don't come, I...I will die here, and it's all your fault..." She cried miserably, her petite body trembling uncontrollably in his arms, looking so weak and fragile.
Hugging his neck tightly, Lihua's tearful little face was buried in the side of his neck, Xia Baoer cried as if she needed him so much.
Caressing her back gently, Nan Muli spoke softly unconsciously: "I said I won't let you die, have you forgotten?"
"I thought you were still angry and ignored me..." He looked so terrible in the morning, and she didn't know what she had done wrong to make him unhappy. She still felt so sad when she thought about it, so sad that she almost couldn't breathe.
.
"Don't worry, I won't ignore you." There was a hint of regret in his soft tone, and he could only coax her. "Stop crying, we have to get out of here and cheer up."
Xia Baoer immediately stopped crying obediently, looked up at him, and suddenly realized that they were still in a dangerous illusion.
As the night got darker, and as the fog became thicker, there began to be drizzle in the sky, which felt very ominous. Under the dark sky, they saw that the dense fog around them was getting thicker and thicker.
I don't know how many traps there are in the forest. It's not suitable to walk here anymore.
Picking up the weak little woman, Nan Muli said in a deep voice to the people behind him: "Everyone, follow closely. If nothing goes wrong, there should be a cave ahead. After you find it, everyone will go there to rest first."
Everyone knew that the situation was critical, so they all followed each other in an orderly manner, holding hands and walking slowly.
"Little one, hold on tight to me, you know."
"Yes." She nodded with a tearful tone, finally joining everyone, she wouldn't get lost carelessly again.
The group of people walked for about half an hour. The thick fog made them move forward only by feeling with their hands. It was impossible to tell whether they had left the same place or not. Everyone felt faintly uneasy.
"Don't be distracted! Don't be dizzy by the fog at this time!" A cold and angry shout interrupted everyone's sleepy mood. When they suddenly came back to their senses, they realized that they were all confused by the fog.
Just like miasma, if it is inhaled for a long time, people's consciousness will gradually become unclear, and then they will uncontrollably want to commit suicide, etc...
After Nan Muli woke everyone up, his face and eyes became more anxious than ever before. He knew that everyone would die if they didn't get out of here!
"Follow me, take these knives. If anyone starts to lose consciousness, stab yourself and stay awake!" Nan Muli gave a dozen knives to his subordinates. His expression was stern and cold, without any hint of joking.
"Mr. Li...I'm sorry, it's all me..."
Nan Muli shook his head and hissed: "Don't say depressing words. At this time, everyone must be united and not lose concentration. Let's go -" After that, he took the lead and walked forward. As he walked, he asked his subordinates to count the number of people in a cold voice.
.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the air became more humid and uncomfortable. Added to the mist, Xia Baoer almost passed out in his arms, but Nan Muli kept biting her to prevent her from falling asleep.
Finally, after more than an hour of perseverance, they walked out of the terrible miasma and found the cave that Nan Muli had mentioned. As a group of people walked inside, the mosquitoes inside launched the first wave of attacks on them like a large army.
.
Nan Muli commanded calmly, and several people took out the bags they brought and took out the contents.
They lit mosquito repellent incense, took out water, lit candles, took a short rest, and a few people set up temporary tents.
Her mood had calmed down. Xia Baoer sat on a big rock, frowning and scratching the red and itchy skin that had been stung just now. Nan Muli beside her lit a fire in the cave, with his familiarity and calmness, as if he was born strong.
No matter how dangerous the situation is, he can't escape it.
He didn't let her help, so she could only open her eyes as red as rabbits and look curiously at the dozen or so busy men.
After pouring out the sterilized water, Nan Muli silently helped her clean the stains on her face. His gentle movements were completely different from the coldness on her face.
After washing her dirty little face, he raised his head after checking for any wounds, "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Seeing her staring at him, he asked unclearly.
Shaking her head vigorously, she said with a guilty conscience like a thief: "No, I didn't see anything. There's nothing strange on your face, it's just very pretty." She lowered her eyes with a slight blush on her face.
"Then don't think too much." Without criticizing her, Nan Muli lightly twisted the clean towel in his hand. He wiped her face and washed her hands, as if he were treating a treasure. He was very light and gentle, so the one who stared at her was also stunned.
I can't help but feel a little excited.
She had never seen Nan Muli like this before. It was strange, but she was a little happy.
"How did you get those scratches?" Nan Muli frowned slightly when he saw the scratches on her skin.
Seeing his bad expression, Xia Baoer replied in a low voice: "That was probably an accidental cut, but it really doesn't matter. I'm sorry."
Looking up at her in confusion, he did not continue to ask.
Wringing her little hands, Xia Baoer suddenly looked at him firmly and said, "I'm also sorry about what happened this morning. I shouldn't have made any decisions and done things that you didn't like." Although she also had good intentions, she did something wrong.
It means he did something wrong. Even if she doesn't know why, there is no reason why he is unhappy and angry. "Are you still angry?"
Without answering her words, Nan Muli looked at her intently. Suddenly, he hugged her into his arms and whispered softly: "No, I was the one who was wrong. You didn't do anything wrong at all."
"Uh..." She was stunned for a moment. Xia Baoer struggled slightly in his arms, but he held her tighter. He grabbed one of her catkins and put it against his heart. Nan Muli looked very sorry in his eyes: "Although I can't yet
Let me tell you clearly, but it’s warm here because of what you did in the morning.”
Someone blinked in disbelief: "Really? Are you sure you're not kidding me again?" She was still a little uncomfortable with him like this. Was it too abrupt?
"Yes, I firmly believe it."
"But...you were very angry this morning."
"I'm just in a selfless world and can't adapt for a while." When the butler walked in, he regretted it.
No one had ever really taken him to heart. Only this little woman who appeared out of thin air gave him warmth. She really... wanted him to be happy and she was so serious about it. Only now did he understand.
"That……"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Raising his little hand, Xia Baoer said seriously: "I swear I won't do this again..."
"No, this sentence should be said by the author!"
A certain person was stunned, "Uh... this..."
"You don't have to think too much, I want you to stay with me and let me take care of you." He said abruptly and domineeringly.
"Hey, isn't this a bit bad?"
"You can only help me live alone." He kissed her earlobe and said domineering words into her ears.
