Gu Cheng was so tired that his head was sweating, he stopped panting slightly, "No, we can't run any longer, it will be even more dangerous."
Ling Xiner was so tired that she couldn't breathe, she squatted down with heavy breaths, "Then what should we do? What should we do?"
"Don't be afraid," Gu Sheng glanced at the surrounding terrain, then looked up at the big leafy tree beside him, "Let's go up!"
"Go up?" Ling Xiner suddenly had a bitter face, "But I can't even climb trees..."
"There is no time. If he finds us, our situation will only become more dangerous!" Gu Sheng said, pushing Ling Xiner to start climbing up, "Don't think you can't, use both hands and feet, you can definitely do it .”
Ling Xiner's legs are very long, she was wearing an inconvenient skirt when going out today, and she was afraid to climb up the tree, so she couldn't move for a long time.
"Oops, he's here, hurry up!" Gu Sheng yelled suddenly, so frightened that Ling Xin'er also forgot that she couldn't climb trees, and just climbed up the thick branches and leaves.
Trembling, Ling Xin'er climbed up the treetops, hugged the branches tightly, and then dared to lower her head and ask Gu Sheng, "Where is that person? Where is he?"
She asked in a low voice, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Gu Sheng had already followed up, and seeing Ling Xiner's nervous look, he squinted his eyes and smiled, "I just want to see if you can't climb, so I'll give you some encouragement, lest you wait for someone to chase you, we are still surrounded by trees climb."
It was only then that Ling Xin'er realized that she had been cheated. She raised her hand and was about to hit Gu Sheng when, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw the figure of a firewood picker under a tree not far away.
She gasped suddenly, loosened her hands and almost fell from the tree.
Gu Sheng had a sharp eye and quickly helped Ling Xin'er steady. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he also discovered the existence of the firewood picker.
He held his breath, hugged Ling Xin'er who almost fell off the tree, and quietly hid with her behind the lush branches and leaves.
Not far from under the tree, a firewood picker walked over, covering his head, cursing as he walked, "These two stinky students, how dare they sneak up on me? When I find them, I will definitely break their legs!"
He scolded loudly, and was clearly heard by the two people on the tree.
Ling Xin'er was even more frightened, her heart was beating wildly, as if it might jump out of her chest at any moment.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng was beside her, hugged her and patted her shoulder lightly, so that she was not frightened and cried bitterly.
The firewood picker searched the neighborhood for a while, but found no sign of the two of them, cursed and walked away again.
Ling Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief, and lay in Gu Sheng's arms exhausted, her tone was full of dependence, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I really don't know if I can go back alive."
"Idiot," Gu Sheng glanced at the terrified little face, raised his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely return safely."
To be on the safe side, Gu Sheng didn't let Ling Xiner get off the tree immediately, so as not to run into that firewood picker again.
"It's not an option to go on like this. When will we be able to go down?" Ling Xiner asked softly, as if she had already regarded Gu Sheng as her backbone.
"Not yet, we can't go down at the risk of colliding with that person." Gu Sheng pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly, "We can only wait on the tree temporarily, until they come to find us and go back."
"They?" Ling Xiner suddenly became anxious, thinking that Gu Sheng was talking about Qi Minglang and the others, "Even if there are four of them, they may not be able to fight against that bad guy."
"No, I'm talking about the police," Gu Sheng said steadily, signaling Ling Xin'er not to be afraid, "I told them when I came out to look for you just now, if I don't come back, it proves that I'm lost too Let them go back the same way and call the police.”
"So that's the case," Ling Xiner was relieved now, and soon became worried again, "But if this is the case, will they meet that bad guy on the road?"
"No, we are staying far away from here, and there are four of them. That bad guy doesn't dare to mess around without being sure."
While comforting Ling Xiner, Gu Sheng shook his head gently, "He, it's because you are alone that he has evil thoughts. You shouldn't have left so willfully just now, but should have waited for me to come back. It's safe."
Ling Xin'er did not choke with Gu Sheng this time, but apologized very seriously, "I'm sorry, I thought I could find a way out, but I misjudged my own strength."
When they were in school before, Ling Xiner and Gu Sheng hardly talked, and every conversation basically broke up unhappy.
This time was different, they were trapped in a tree, and they had just experienced a thrilling scene, and they felt different about each other, at least they stopped talking.
Especially Gu Sheng felt very guilty for bringing Ling Xiner to such a dangerous place. "If it wasn't for me to take you this way, it would be great. Although the road designated by the school is a bit far away, it is safe enough. We took a shortcut and it went far, and put you in danger." Gu Sheng sincerely Said, with a few eyes
very guilty.
Ling Xiner smiled shyly, "It's because we are eager to win and want to win the competition, otherwise we wouldn't follow this path. But fortunately, although the process was a bit thrilling, at least the result was good, everyone Nothing happened."
Her generosity made Gu Sheng look at her differently. The girls Gu Sheng knew before were either complainers or crybabys. He had never seen a girl as confident and cheerful as Ling Xiner.
He couldn't help but look at Ling Xiner twice, and said in a gentle voice, "You are different from them."
"Ah?" Ling Xin'er was a little dazed, unable to understand the meaning of Gu Cheng's words, "Me? Who am I different from?"
"With those girls in school," Gu Sheng smiled, and then said slowly, "When you first came to school, I thought you were a crybaby with an arrogant personality. After really getting in touch, it's not at all. That's it."
"Oh, so I look like this in your eyes." Ling Xiner shook her head in disapproval, squinting her eyes and laughing, "Aren't you the same? I thought you were a stinking fart and snarky, and you couldn't pull it off. "
"Then what?" Gu Sheng looked at Ling Xin'er with great interest, feeling that her eyes were especially beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun, like gems reflecting red fireballs.
Ling Xiner pursed her lips and smiled, "Then, you are really so embarrassing, but thank you for saving me just now."
She couldn't imagine what she would be like now if Gu Sheng hadn't appeared in time... Gu Sheng didn't refuse, but laughed loudly, "I'll accept this thank you, how do you want to repay you?" Where is your savior?"
