Gu Linxi could hear the discontent in Li TienNiu's tone towards Xie Siqiang. Was this dissatisfaction because of him? Gu Linxi hesitated for a moment before saying, ”He went to find me something to eat. I can't walk, so I waited for him here.”
”I'll accompany you here to wait for him. We'll send you out together later.” Li Tieniu also found a place to sit down. Since he was going to look for food, he should be back soon. After all, there were quite a few wild fruits that could be eaten in this mountain.
”You want us to leave?” After all, the person who had been unwilling to let him leave all this time was Li TienNiu. Besides, he had humiliated Li Tieniu so much today, how could Li Tieniu not be angry at all? Gu Linxi felt that she'd never clearly seen Li TienNiu from start to finish. From the looks of it, she was no ordinary villager.
The wind rustled. Li TienNiu revealed his white teeth and laughed, ”You don't want this?”
He didn't want to let Gu Linxi leave just like that, but Xie Siqiang had already come to look for Gu Linxi. Perhaps before long, this place would be exposed to the eyes of those people. He had originally thought that this place wouldn't be found by outsiders, but in the end, Xie Siqian found it. This place naturally couldn't be considered as a hidden place anymore. Sooner or later, Gu Linxi would still have to return to that whirlpool.
Gu Linxi didn't say anything. She felt that she had become one with hunger, tiredness, and fatigue. This kind of feeling wasn't comfortable at all.
Even when the sky turned dark, he still didn't see Xie Siqian appear. Gu Lin Xi couldn't help but start worrying if something had happened to Xie Siqian, or if he'd gotten lost. Regardless of which of these possibilities it was, none of them were the kind of situation that Gu Linxi wanted to see. She found it hard to sit still. She finally made up her mind to go find Xie Sisi.
”I'll go with you.” Seeing that Gu Lin Xi had gotten up, Li TienNiu knew that Gu Lin Xi was going to look for Xie Siqiang. Since she hadn't appeared for such a long period of time, something must have happened to Xie Siqie, allowing Gu Linxi to search by herself. It was just the disappearance of one more person.
Gu Linxi didn't reject Li TienNiu's good intentions, and even felt somewhat grateful towards him. After all, she was rather afraid of her leaving her alone to find Xie Siqiang as the curtain of the night was about to fall. At this place, who knew what strange things would appear in the next second.
Nodding their heads and saying thanks, Gu Linxi and Li TienNiu went off to look for Xie Siqiang. Gu Lingxi still remembered the direction Xie Siqiang had left in. However, she didn't know how Xie Siqian had walked on the road at the back.
”Think!” Xie Siqian! Where are you? ” Gu Linxi called out Xie Siqian's name. She hoped that Xie Siqian would be able to respond if he heard her voice.
He had only called out for a good while, but he hadn't heard Xie Siqiang's response. Gu Lin Xi couldn't help but become even more worried. Right now, she was extremely regretful that she hadn't gone with Xie Si Er. Even if she was too tired and hungry, she shouldn't have let Xie Si Er go alone. Xie Siqiang was definitely even more exhausted than she was. It was due to her negligence. Gu Linxi couldn't help but begin to blame herself, her brows furrowed tightly as she hoped that she could find Xie Siqiang as soon as possible.
”Eat something first.” After plucking a wild fruit from a lower branch, Li TienNiu handed it to Gu Linxi. Wild fruits were left in this place, and it was unknown in which direction Xie Xie had gone.
