His words were meant as a joke, but Ling Xiner took them seriously.
Ling Xiner lowered her head and thought for a while, "When I go back, I must tell my daddy, and let him give you many, many rewards."
Originally, Ling Xiner wanted to ask her father to give Gu Sheng a lot of money, but thinking of Gu Sheng's proud character, she changed it to the word "reward".
Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't want rewards, I have already received what I deserve, and that is your gratitude, which is more precious than anything else."
The two sat on the tree and chatted, and the tense atmosphere of The Fugitive before was swept away.
As the sky gradually darkened, Ling Xiner looked at Gu Sheng hesitantly, "Are we really not going down the tree?"
"No, that weirdo doesn't know where he's hiding. If we go down, we'll run into him more easily." Gu Sheng glanced at the forest where the sun was about to set, always feeling that someone was lurking nearby.
Although he couldn't see that person, his keen sixth sense told him that the situation in front of him was not safe.
Ling Xiner was terribly scared before, but now she believes whatever Gu Sheng says, she nodded obediently, hugged the tree and sat down.
After a while, rustling footsteps sounded under the tree, arousing the vigilance of Ling Xiner and Gu Sheng.
They held their breath and lowered their heads to look, only to find that the firewood picker was not far under the tree.
"Damn it, where did those two damned students go? They made me lie in wait for a long time!" The wood picker cursed viciously, holding a big wooden stick in his right hand.
Ling Xin'er couldn't help gasping, but fortunately she didn't go down after listening to Gu Sheng, otherwise she would really jump off the tree, and what awaited them would be a sharp blow from a wooden stick.
The wood picker swung the stick in his hand and circled around, cursed and turned to another place, "Made, I don't believe I can't catch those two brats!"
When the firewood pickers walked away, Ling Xiner looked at Gu Sheng beside her with lingering fear, "Fortunately, fortunately, we didn't go down just now."
Gu Sheng nodded, thankful that his sixth sense was still effective.
Before, he also wanted to leave from the tree while the sky was still dark. Fortunately, his keen sixth sense told him the danger, otherwise he really didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter.
When the surroundings were completely quiet, the sky was completely dark.
The surrounding leaves were blown rustling by the evening wind, but it seemed that the surroundings became more and more silent, giving people a gloomy feeling.
At this moment, Ling Xin'er finally recovered from her panic, feeling tired and hungry.
Her body was chilly, and it felt as if the wind would blow into the cracks in her bones.
My stomach is thirsty, hungry, sour, and I want to drink a bowl of hot oatmeal.
Gradually exhausted, her body shifted and she fell to the right.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng was sitting on the branch on her right and reached out to support her in time, otherwise she would have really fallen from the tree.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Sheng held Ling Xin'er's arm, only to realize that her arm was extremely hot.
He suddenly became nervous, and stretched out his hand to her forehead, "Oops, you actually have a fever? It must be caused by the shock just now!"
The previous accident was indeed too scary, let alone a girl like Ling Xiner, even a boy like him would have lingering fears.
After all, what they encounter is not a difficult classmate, but a terrible villain who really wants to hurt others.
Gu Sheng speculated that Ling Xiner must have been overly nervous before, and then completely relaxed after escaping from danger, which caused her to catch a cold.
It's just that they are trapped in the gloomy woods at the moment, and there are no pharmacies around, what should they do?
"Ling Xiner, Ling Xiner?" Gu Sheng called Ling Xiner's name softly, and asked tentatively, "Can you hear me?"
Ling Xin'er felt her head was groggy, curled up beside Gu Sheng like a cat, "I...I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."
"You have a fever now, you can't sleep yet, or it will get worse." Gu Sheng was in a hurry, thinking that it was already dark, and the dangerous stickman should have left.
He weighed it carefully, right now Ling Xiner has a severe fever and urgently needs a doctor's treatment.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and made a decision. He wanted to take Ling Xiner down from the tree and leave the mountain forest to seek medical treatment.
Although a decision has been made, Gu Sheng is still excited to implement it.
Because he didn't know if the firewood picker was still there. If he was still there, then if they went down now, it would be tantamount to giving away the head directly.
But if you don't go and let Ling Xiner's fever go on like this, I'm afraid her condition will get worse.
"Ling Xiner, do you still have the strength to walk now? We need to leave this forest and take you to see a doctor." Gu Sheng whispered, asking about Ling Xiner's physical condition.
However, Ling Xin'er's body was burning so badly that she couldn't hear Gu Sheng's question clearly, she just shook her head in a daze, "I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep..."
"Don't, you can't sleep," Gu Sheng patted Ling Xin'er's face with his hand, "You must not fall asleep, or you will be miserable when you fall."
"Ling Xiner, that villain is here again, you have to cheer yourself up!"
However, no matter what Gu Sheng said, Ling Xin'er didn't respond, she squinted her eyes in a daze, and curled up beside him powerlessly.
Gu Sheng knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, if Ling Xin'er was allowed to burn, her body temperature would only get higher and higher.
He took off his coat, put it on Ling Xiner, and then helped her down from the tree, "My daughter, be careful, hold on tight, don't fall."
Ling Xin'er was so burned that she was confused and almost stepped on the air several times, which made Gu Sheng sweat all over his head.
Fortunately, they finally came down from the tree. Although the process was a bit twists and turns, they were safe and sound.
The forest was pitch black, Gu Sheng held Ling Xin'er's arm, and helped her grope forward.
He was not familiar with the surrounding terrain, and it was pitch black and he couldn't tell the direction, so he could only lead Ling Xiner to follow his instinct.
The night wind blew more and more violently, Ling Xin'er was so burned that she couldn't walk, and Gu Sheng dragged her forward with difficulty.
He walked for a while, feeling that it was too laborious and inefficient, so he simply bent down and carried Ling Xiner on his back.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng changed his strategy in time, and Ling Xin'er was not heavy at all when he was carrying it, as light as a bird.
In this way, it will be easier for him to move forward.
Although Ling Xin'er was so burned that she was dazed, she also knew that Gu Sheng had carried her on her back.
Ever since she was a child, she was rarely carried by someone like this. With her hot face pressed against Gu Sheng's tough back, she asked softly, "I... am I heavy? Are you tired?" "It's really heavy, Do you know that you are going to lose weight?" Gu Sheng joked, but in his heart he felt that Ling Xiner was as light as a feather.
