C79

After rented a car, Bai Yuexi trekked through mountains and rivers to find a remote little village.

As her surroundings were surrounded by mountains, the way up the mountain was extremely difficult. It had just started to rain last night, and the moss on the ground could easily slip and fall, so Bai Yuexi could only touch the mountain wall and climb upwards.

He finally found a village, only to find that the mountain was deserted, only leaving behind a few wreckage. Only a few lonely old people and children remained in the village.

Bai Yuexi asked around for a long time but still did not hear the slightest bit of news about her mother. She was a little dispirited, and at sunset, she finally decided to leave this place.

Standing on top of a small hill, he could see a rapidly flowing river below. The hills on both sides of the river were rising higher and higher.

She didn't feel good. Her mother had been missing for ten years. Whether she was dead or alive, all she wanted was one result.

But that was all she had. Where was her mother?

Bai Yuexi simply sat down, her heart was at a loss, just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a rustling sound behind her, she subconsciously turned her head to look, but before she could see who it was, she felt a pair of hands forcefully pushing her.

Bai Yuexi shouted loudly. She did not even have the time to react as she had already lost her center of gravity, and her body fell down the slope as her body rolled downwards. In her panic, she seemed to have grabbed onto a rock as the sharp edge cut through her hand.

Bai Yuexi raised her head and looked upwards, only to see a black shadow standing there. She anxiously turned two steps, and then, disappeared without a trace.

Who wanted to kill her?

Bai Yuexi's hands slowly lost energy, her heart was filled with despair. She still had many things to do, but she did not expect that she would die soon.

If I had known earlier …

Without giving her time to think, she lost the strength in her hands. She let out a loud cry, and with a splash, she fell into the water.

She felt the water gush over her head as her stomach choked and coughed. The swift river brought her to the center of the water flow and her hands frantically grabbed onto a floating wooden stake. Without even thinking, she immediately fell over.

The wooden stake rapidly flowed down the stream, so she could only helplessly lie on top of it. She could only pray that it was not a waterfall or an even faster river downstream.

After drifting for an unknown amount of time, she finally regained her sight. From far away, she saw a huge stone lying horizontally in the middle of the river, and just as the wooden stake was about to collide with her, she took the opportunity to throw it away and hugged the huge rock tightly.

The wind screamed past her ears, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, Bai Yuexi breathed in deeply.

What should he do? There were very few people here, so no one should be able to find her.

Was she going to die just like that?

As she retracted her finger, her gaze fell on a patch of emerald green. Her clear eyes sunk.

No! She absolutely could not die here!

"Help! Is there anyone here? High cries echoed through the valley, and she wasn't sure if anyone could hear them. At least she needed to work hard.

Night gradually descended. Bai Yuexi shouted until her mouth was dry, in addition to the fact that she had just fallen down, she had used up all of her energy. Sensing that the flow of the water was not as fast, she slightly moved her body.

At this moment, a sudden flash of light appeared on the shore. It felt like the light from a flashlight.

As if grabbing onto her lifesaver, Bai Yuexi shouted loudly towards them, "Help, help!"

Her hoarse voice had difficulty shouting, but a man's voice responded, "Don't move, I'll come save you."

As soon as he said that, the man threw the flashlight on the ground. His dark figure seemed to be searching for something. Then he ran away.

Bai Yuexi frowned as she glanced at the shore. She no longer had the mood to think about whether this person was the bad guy who pushed her down or if he would just abandon her and leave.

Her only hope was for the water to slow down. After all, begging was better than begging herself. Her calm eyes stared at the darkness.

He held an additional long and thick vine in his hand, and the other end was tied to a tree by the river. He pulled on the vine with one hand, and carefully moved over, almost falling down several times.

Finally, the man came up to her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

As he consoled her, he reached out and grabbed her arm. She had been in the water for too long. Perhaps it was because she was too scared, but she felt her limbs go cold and her legs go numb.

Fortunately, there was a man by her side. Her large hands were tightly holding her arm, allowing Bai Yuexi to avoid falling into the water.

The two of them climbed onto the shore along the vines with much difficulty, causing Bai Yuexi to stumble and fall to the ground.

Bai Yuexi waved her hands, she laid on the ground and spoke weakly: "No need, I want to rest for a while."

The man walked over and picked up the flashlight, saying faintly, "I've never seen a woman with such a big heart like you. A lone man and a woman are both lying on the ground in the wilderness."

With a helpless laugh, Bai Yuexi exhaled deeply, "In the face of life and death, nothing is important anymore. Furthermore, since you've saved me, you're a good person. I don't need to do anything unnecessary, especially to a benefactor."

The figure not far away was slightly startled, and only after a long time did he turn his head back. Looking at the pitch-black lake, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. "You're quite interesting, woman."

Bai Yuexi was too tired to hear what he said, she could only lie down and rest.

After an unknown amount of time, she silently sat up with a green bead bracelet tightly held in her hand. It was pulled out from the hand of the person who pushed her down the hill.

In the dim light, she sized up the bracelet. The round beads were rarely of the same size, and it was easy to tell that they were of high quality with a single glance.

Her clear eyes slightly contracted and her fingers slowly curled into a fist.

She had seen this bracelet on Li Ya's hands before!
