Chapter 141 I Am Not Someone Who Likes to Force Myself

"Rest, rest for a while." Shen Xiaoxiao panted. They didn't know how long they had been running. Shen Xiaoxiao felt that her lungs were about to burst. It hurt to breathe.

Xiao Yan stopped and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shen Xiaoxiao put one hand on her knee and panted. She raised her right hand and waved it. She took a deep breath and stood up. "It's okay." It should be because she ran too fast and got a stitch in the side.

"Let's keep going." Shen Xiaoxiao said when she felt better.

"Rest for a while." Xiao Yan said distressedly, "They won't catch up so quickly."

"It's okay. For safety's sake, we should walk faster and rest when it's safe. "Although no one is catching up now, those people may be following behind. If they are caught up, it will be even harder for them to run.

Xiao Yan untied the backpack behind him and half-knelt in front of her, "Come on, I'll carry you."

"No need, I can hold on. "They walked for a whole day and ran for so long, he was very tired, and although he didn't die after falling from such a high place, he must be in pain.

She checked him before and he was fine. The injuries on his body might be scratched by branches when he fell. Apart from this, there were no other injuries. For this reason, she could only say that he was really lucky.

Even so, she couldn't take it for granted that he should carry her.

"I can really walk. If you are worried, I will walk slowly first. If I am tired later, I will let you carry me." After a pause, "You know I am not the kind of person who likes to force myself. If I really can't hold on, I will definitely tell you."

"Yeah." Xiao Yan didn't insist, "Rest for a while." As if he knew what she was thinking, he said, "I am tired."

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Then let's rest for a while. "

It seems bottomless when viewed from above, but from below, the night sky can be clearly seen. It is with the shining of the stars that they can travel smoothly.

The night wind blew and brought goose bumps. Shen Xiaoxiao rubbed her arms and said, "Let's go."

"Yeah. "Xiao Yan led her forward, but his speed was not as fast as at the beginning. Shen Xiaoxiao knew that he was taking care of her. Looking at the person beside her, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help thinking in her heart that if she ignored that she was running for her life, it would seem quite romantic.

When it was almost dawn, they walked to the place where they fell. The traces of their fire yesterday were still there. After going around in circles, they returned to the original place.

Xiao Yan picked some wild fruits and caught a pheasant. After eating and resting for a while, they continued on their way. It was already bright at this time. They didn't sleep all night and rushed on the road. Both of them were not in a good mood, but they were all persisting.

Even if she saw good things, she didn't feel like picking them. Although she was still walking, her soul had already drifted away.

"Take a break, and leave later." Xiao Yan found a tree for her to rest under. Shen Xiaoxiao didn't insist, and sat down on the ground directly, "I'll take a nap."

"Well, I'll call you at the party." Xiao Yan let her lean on his shoulder, "Go to sleep."

"Okay. "Soon, a sound of steady breathing sounded, Xiao Yan gently stroked her cheek, and brushed the broken hair beside her ear behind her ear, and then he began to close his eyes to rest, but he was not asleep, and he opened his eyes when he heard the movement.

When Shen Xiaoxiao woke up, the sun was hanging high above her head, "Are you still sleepy?" Xiao Yan asked with concern, Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Let's go."

The two washed their faces with stream water, ate some fruits and left.

After a sleep, she felt much better and was in a mood to talk and laugh.

"We haven't been back for two days, and I don't know if they have taken good care of the vegetables." Shen Xiaoxiao sighed, they had never planted land, and didn't know how to deal with Yingfa's situation. They just hoped that everything would be fine when she went back, otherwise the hard work during this period would be wasted.

This is still the point, the key is that she only has so many seeds, if they are ruined, she will be really sad.

"I will. "Xiao Yan knows better than anyone how much effort she has put into growing these vegetables. If they really die, she will be sad.

"I believe they will be too. After all, this is the tribe's rations. They will definitely take good care of it."

"They probably haven't caught up. If they are tired, we can rest." Xiao Xiao didn't rest well because she was in a hurry to get going. Now they just need to walk slowly. They will eventually get out.

"Well, but let's walk faster. We haven't been back for so long. They will probably be worried. "

The two of them started on their way again. They took two breaks and ate some wild fruits. They were lucky enough to catch a rabbit, which they simply roasted over a fire and ate. Then they started on their way again. In the end, Shen Xiaoxiao's feet were covered with blisters. It was Xiao Yan who discovered something was wrong. After checking, he found that a big blister had appeared on the sole of her foot.

Shen Xiaoxiao felt that she could still walk, but Xiao Yan insisted not to let her go. Without saying a word, he carried her on his back and walked forward at a slow speed.

Shen Xiaoxiao's nose felt a little sour, but she quickly adjusted herself and then whispered to Xiao Yan, but she fell asleep at some point. When she woke up again, it was dark. She felt that her exposed skin seemed to be cut by something, and she subconsciously opened that thing.

Xiao Yan gently shook her and walked through more carefully, fearing that he would hurt her, but his body was already covered with scratches, but he didn't care at all. He just wanted to protect the people behind him. If he couldn't get around, he would not have walked through directly.

"It's getting dark." Shen Xiaoxiao said sleepily, "Didn't you rest?"

"Well, don't move, be careful that the leaves will cut you." Xiao Yan's steps were still steady.

"Put me down and I can walk by myself."

"I like to carry you." Xiao Yan said calmly, and his hands around her legs lifted her up.

"I'm afraid you'll be tired, so it's better to put me down and rest for a while." She didn't know how long she had slept, but he must be very tired after carrying her for so long. Originally, she thought that she would let him carry her for a while and then walk down by herself, but she didn't expect to fall asleep. It was probably because she believed that he would take her with him.

"Let's talk about it after we get out of here."

Shen Xiaoxiao then looked around the surrounding environment, and with the remaining sunset, she could see clearly what it was.

"Don't leave yet." Shen Xiaoxiao patted his shoulder excitedly, "What's wrong?" Xiao Yan stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Put me down first."

Xiao Yan didn't understand why, but he put her down anyway. As soon as she landed, Shen Xiaoxiao excitedly took two steps to the side, then directly broke off the fruit with dried leaves, and then peeled off the shell, revealing the dried corn inside.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao's expression, Xiao Yan knew that this thing was also a kind of food, or it could be used as medicine, otherwise Xiaoxiao wouldn't be so excited.

Sure enough, Shen Xiaoxiao's next words confirmed his guess, "Xiao Yan, we are really lucky, there is corn here, this can be eaten, and it can also be ground into powder and made into steamed buns."
