Xie Mengxuan calmed down when she saw he was coming back to the cave. Gu Yusheng sank into a deep coma while he was coming over to Xie. However, she could do nothing but stare at him. When he fell down on the ground, she slowly moved over to him. She was bewildered, and her fingers shook with uncertainty in his eyes.

She was familiar with the moves that Gu Yusheng had used to fight the tiger just now. She knew that it was the swordsmanship of Gu Family because she had seen it several times when she was a little girl. And at present, he must be good at this kind of martial art.

But she couldn’t trust him thoroughly even though she recognized his sword techniques. She was excited that her Sheng Big brother was still alive, but she needed to be wary of him.

After taking a deep breath and calming her mood, she put her hand on the collar of Gu Yusheng and took it off to expose his shoulders. She looked around and then found a mark on his shoulder, which made her completely relaxed.

‘Yes, it is him. He is Gu Yusheng.’

She smiled for being a survivor of the disaster. But she stopped being happy soon because both she and Gu Yusheng were crippled now. To make things worse, Gu Yusheng was injured, and it was unsafe in the forest, especially at night. “What should we do?” She thought.

She sat next to Gu Yusheng and felt desperate while looking at those tall trees.

Even if she shouted loudly until her throat went sore, no one would hear her since the villagers wouldn’t come to this dense forest.

“Big brother Sheng?” she whispered to him. But looking at his legs, she wondered whether she should wake him up. He really should have a rest. But suddenly, she was surprised at a sudden sound.

‘Oh, what bad luck! The tiger just left for a while, then here comes the wolf?’

“Am I doomed to be killed at this place?”

Xie Mengxuan held Gu Yusheng, bit her lower lip. She gazed in the distance, and took a deep breath. Her heart raced uncontrollably, and she couldn’t help feeling anxious.

As the sound became increasingly louder, a tall man eventually appeared from the bush.

“Darling, I found you!”

She quietened her breathing when she realized that the man was Geng Zhishan.

She was surprised that he really came here to find her but pretended to be angry and threw a small stone at him, “Why didn’t you give a sound at all? Do you know you were going to scare me to death?!”

Xie Mengxuan said, with a little choke in her voice, and when she stopped roaring, she began to gasp, as if she were about to suffocate.

Geng Zhishan knelt in front of her and urgently apologized, “I am sorry. It was out of my expectations. I was afraid that if I make some noise, I will incur something terrible. Please don’t be angry, and please don’t cry?”
