C34 (2/2)

She lowered her head and looked at the pitch black ground. She could vaguely see a bunch of unknown creatures crawling on the ground, accompanied by a 'hiss' sound.

”What's that?”

”Snakes.”

Su Zhi was so shocked that she almost screamed, retreating in panic. The hairs on her entire body were all standing up, and even her tongue was tied up.

”General …” ”I'm afraid.”

This limbless mollusk, cold and slippery, was what she feared the most.

”With me here, what are you afraid of?”

It was just a small snake. When there was no rations to feed the troops, the serpent broth was the most nourishing delicacy.

Su Zhi was so frightened that she was half dead. Her legs started twitching, and she did not dare to move further, as if there were Snake Ants at places she could not see.

”It's gone.”

”No, no, no, I don't think so. Wait a little longer.”

As she cried, she ignored Xiao Qian's urging and broke out in a cold sweat.

”How troublesome.”

Xiao Qian sighed helplessly as he took the terrified little woman in his arms and held her in his arms.

She was already frightened to the core, but now that Su Zhi had a broad chest, she was more at ease. She did not resist at all, allowing Xiao Qian to carry her down the mountain.

”Again, I've caused trouble for the general.”

Xiao Qian did not say anything, but his eyebrows creased even more tightly.

This woman was truly fragrant. Her body was so light, she didn't even weigh much in his arms. She was as light as a ball of cotton, so she must have eaten too little on a daily basis.

Su Zhi lowered her head, feeling wronged. She had nowhere to place her hands.

Fear was human nature. Her legs were weak, they were truly weak …

After a moment of silence, he felt awkward.

Su Zhi always wanted to break this awkward situation by talking earlier, but in the end, she still chose to be quiet, afraid that she would cause trouble for others again.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the camp.
