The moment when the two of them ran into the forest, Li TienNiu also saw them and stopped in his tracks.

"It's him." Li Tieniu naturally recognized Xie Si. He had originally thought that Jiang Jiayi had come to take Gu Lin Xi away. However, the truth exceeded his expectations. He didn't think that Xie Siqian would appear and take Gu Jingxi away. Was he chasing him or not? He hesitated for a moment. If it was Jiang Jiayi, he would naturally give chase. However, this person was Xie Siqiang. There was still a difference between Xie Siqiang and Jiang Jiayi.

Being able to find Gu Linxi could also be considered as Xie Siqiang having some ability, or perhaps it could be said that he was too concerned about Gu Linxi. If it hadn't been for his heart, why would he have come to look for Gu Linxi? Li Tieniu didn't hesitate for too long. The mountain wasn't safe at all. The two of them were running around everywhere, so they might encounter some danger.

Li Tieniu stopped the villagers who wanted to search for him. He could handle this matter by himself. When these people heard Li Tieniu's words, they all went back to their own homes. It was just a happy occasion, but it turned out to be a farce. Even with so many people, they were unable to catch two people and even allowed the other party to escape into the mountains.

This mountain is not safe. These two might not be able to leave alive.

After all the villagers had left, Li TienNiu went into the mountains to look for someone. There were indeed fierce beasts in the mountain, but for some reason, they would never go down the mountain to hurt people. The villagers wouldn't deliberately provoke them, as they had always been at peace. If Gu Xiangxi and Xie Siying were to encounter a ferocious beast, the odds were against them.

"Put me down."

Although it was not late in the night, the moment they entered the mountain, they felt a sense of shade. Gu Linxi didn't hear the footsteps of anyone chasing after them, so she let Xie Sisi put him down first. After getting down from Xie Sizui's back, the two of them found a random spot to sit and rest. They were all a little tired, and since they had been tense all this time, they felt even more physically and mentally exhausted.

Xie Siqian wanted to use his hand to wipe away the filth on Gu Lin Xi's face, but it seemed as if Gu Lin Xi's face had become even more unsightly. This was the first time he'd seen Gu Linxi's comical appearance. Xie Siqian couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Linxi clearly hadn't realized how funny her current face was, because the matter of her escape had already caused her to be unable to divert any of her attention towards that face of hers. Her face was already covered with white powder and blush, and as she ran along, the sweat on her face made her appearance even more unsightly.

If one were to speak of the person who could have directly shocked the soul in the cemetery earlier, then now, even in broad daylight, Gu Linxi's appearance would be able to cause a person to have a heart attack.

"I'm fine." Xie Siqiang didn't know whether or not he should warn Gu Lin Xi. However, he thought that if he said it out loud, Gu Lin Xi would definitely get angry, so he didn't say anything further. In any case, he hadn't paid much attention to what Gu Linxi looked like, as appearance wasn't important to him. Even if Gu Linxi was an old grandma at the age of eighty, Xie Siqian wouldn't change his mind.

Seeing that she seemed to be lying, Gu Linxi felt a little stuffy and subconsciously wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve. Then, she saw that her hand was covered in white ash. Gu Linxi went blank for a moment before quickly realizing what the problem was.

"Xie Siqian, aren't you being too naughty?" Without even reminding her, she had already forgotten about this matter. She had clearly been laughing at him just now, yet she hadn't told him. If he were to meet someone with such a flowery face, it would truly be a joke.

Xie Siqian laughed twice before replying, "Your appearance is pretty good-looking as well."

These words were definitely meant to ridicule her. Gu Linxi put on an act as if she wanted to beat Xie Sisi up. This kind of appearance couldn't be easily seen. If she were to open her eyes and lie, it would be a true love story. However, she still knew her own limits. She really couldn't look at her expression.

It was only after escaping to this place that the depression of the past few days was finally released. Breathing in the free air once more, Gu Linxi felt that the world had become a beautiful place. Although she didn't suffer any grievances from Li Tieniu, she still felt uneasy and somewhat apprehensive.

Now that she was here, she finally felt relieved. However, after arriving at this place, she didn't know how to leave. When she was running away, she hadn't prepared anything to eat. Now that she was running away, Gu Linxi felt as if his stomach was empty. Just by looking at Xie Siqian's appearance, he knew that Xie Siqiang didn't bring anything to cover his stomach.

Since she didn't want to add any more trouble for Xie Siqian, Gu Linxi felt that she could still tolerate it, so she didn't say anything.

"Let's go. Although those people haven't caught up, we must leave this place as soon as possible." After spending some time in the mountains, Xie Siqian naturally knew that the current Gu Lin Xi was in a rather difficult position. The temperature of the mountain was a bit lower than the foot of the mountain. When night fell, the feeling would become even more obvious, so they had to hurry and find a path.

Gu Lin Xi nodded. With Xie Si's company, Gu Lin Xi felt much more at ease.

"How did you find me?" This point was something that Gu Linxi was still quite curious about. After all, being able to find such a place was a very miraculous thing. Before this, although she had occasionally thought about whether Xie Sizhe would come find her, she didn't hold much hope that he would. This place was too hard to find, so she suspected that there wasn't such a place on the map.

Xie Si Er held onto Gu Lin Xi's hand. The mountain road here wasn't easy to walk on, so they had to be careful. Hearing Gu Linxi's question, he didn't know how to answer either, because there was no answer. It was impossible to analyze it using logic. What he relied on was merely intuition, just like how he intuitively believed that Gu Linxi was an imposter.

"It's an intuition. You went missing in the vicinity, and so did I … "I was just lucky." It was indeed a type of luck. Being able to just so coincidentally meet Gu Linxi was indeed a type of luck. It was too late, not even in time. Xie Siqiang's gentle gaze turned towards Gu Linxi. He hadn't thought that Gu Linxi would actually choose this method of escape. It was too dangerous. If she had not appeared and fallen, he would have broken her bones.

Gu Linxi took Xie Sisi's hand, saving a bit of energy. Her physique was far inferior to Xie Si's, becoming a burden for Xie Si.
