C293 (1/2)

There was a small hill behind Li Tieru's house. When you opened the window on the second floor, you would be able to see the yellow soil. However, it was very difficult to climb along the soil. It was naturally easy for Li Tieniu and the others, but now, even the trees weren't able to climb up, let alone the slope that was nearly ninety degrees above the ground.

However, if he didn't want to alarm the others, the most suitable way was to escape from here. Whether or not he could do it was up to him, so he had no choice but to give it a try. Gu Linxi found a place to rest before calming down and analyzing how she should climb up to this flat spot on the hillside.

Judging by the distance, she would only need to crawl about two meters before reaching a relatively flat area. The rest of the area could not be seen clearly, but since there was already a flat area, the road ahead should be much easier to walk on. The only thing she had to overcome was how to get to the flat place. She didn't consider changing back into her regular attire because this would be a waste of time. What she lacked right now was time.

Gu Linxi planned in her mind how she should climb, then took a deep breath to cheer herself on. She found the hoe from the place where the sundries were placed and fiddled with it for a while to give the place where she would land and the place where her hands would be placed a little more space, which could be considered as an increase in her chances of escaping.

After all, this was the first step. If he failed, then there would be nothing left to do. If he were to fall from this place, although he shouldn't break his limbs, he would definitely alarm those people.

After clapping her hands, she felt that her initial preparations were enough. Gu Linxi hurriedly stepped over, then slowly crawled over to this place.

However, just as she crawled for a short period of time, Gu Linxi felt that she was too much in front of her. She couldn't do it. This kind of slope was not something she could climb. Even though the flat area seemed to be very close to her, she was still unable to continue getting closer. She felt like she was hanging in that place, unable to go up or down.

Sweat started to drip down from Gu Linxi's forehead. She was trying really hard to move her hand to another place where she could temporarily place it, but her hand couldn't reach that place. With just that little bit of distance between them, Gu Linxi couldn't help but try to place his hand there. However, it wasn't so easy to make up for the slight distance between them.

He suddenly felt as if he was about to slip under his foot, causing him to almost scream out loud. Only with great difficulty did he manage to swallow his cry of surprise.

”Ah …”

The crutch that had originally been placed on his foot was not very firm. Gu Linxi had been parked here for too long, and with the weight on Gu Linxi's body, the mud on it would have fallen off. Having lost her foothold, Gu Linxi instantly felt her scalp go numb. She was on the verge of falling, Gu Linxi's heart was filled with panic. Was she about to fail?

Just when Gu Linxi thought that she would continue to fall downwards, a hand grabbed him. Gu Linxi raised her head to look at that hand, still in a state of shock. She almost couldn't help but shout out loud.

Xie Siqiang made a silencing motion. Gu Lin Xi's voice had definitely been heard by someone else. Now, he had to hurry and pull Gu Lin Xi up before fleeing with Gu Lin Xi. With Xie Sisi's help, Gu Linxi smoothly arrived at the flat area that she had just seen. She felt as if she had just survived a calamity, and couldn't help but turn around to look at the path that she had just taken.
