What should we do? Is it better to jump down or just surrender? "Xiao Ji felt that her future was bleak for the first time, and after delaying for so long, hurried chatter could already be heard not far away as the pursuers approached.
Shi Jiu, why don't we run to the road in one breath? We can definitely do it at the speed we just had
Xiao Ji... "Shi Jiu suddenly called out Xiao Ji's name, leaned his head against the tree, and turned to look at her." Don't bother so much, you're just an insignificant person. With me here, it's enough
Shi Jiu waved his hand and suddenly lay down under Xiao Ji's gaze. It was early winter in November, and the temperature was already very low. As he lay down like this, Xiao Ji couldn't help but shiver.
What do you mean? "Xiao Ji tilted her head, not quite understanding what he meant.
Are you not understanding or just pretending to be silly? "Shi Jiu didn't look up, but his tone was a bit impatient." I said you can leave now. You're annoying being around, let me be quiet for a while
Do you really think so? Is that all you're saying
Xiao Ji fell silent for a moment, carefully pondering the meaning behind his words. Throughout the whole process, Shi Jiu lay there without any sound. On the contrary, the footsteps chasing after them were already close to her ears.
You think I'm a fool, don't you? Since you don't want to run, why did you just pull me down and jump
Looking at Shi Jiu, Xiao Ji's mouth moved. In fact, she had just felt that his posture was a bit unnatural, but she didn't think about anything else because the situation was urgent. But now that she heard him say this, she immediately realized what was wrong. No matter how fickle this guy was, he wouldn't be so fickle that he suddenly drove her away.
Shijiu, tell me, did you just fall somewhere
Anger almost erupted in an instant, and Xiaoji gritted her teeth and shouted loudly. At this moment, he was still trying to be a hero. Does he think he has become so mentally disabled that he is unclear about everything?
This time, Shi Jiu didn't even bother to say anything and turned his head directly. Xiao Ji looked at him and moved her mouth a few more times, but finally turned into a cold snort: "You owe me what happened today, remember it clearly for me
In less than a minute, Shi Chen and his men chased after him.
A group of nearly twenty people searched along the place where Xiao Ji and the others had fallen, but apart from a row of messy pine needles scattered on the ground, there was nothing else, let alone the two living people.
They can't escape, please search for them carefully and don't miss any place
After a brief moment of surprise, Shi Chen quickly regained his composure. He circled around the pine tree that Shi Jiu had leaned against before, but finally looked up.
Chen Ge, it seems like there's really no one here. "One of the accompanying henchmen searched but turned back, and happened to see Shi Chen looking up coldly." These trees are at least several decades old, and they're all so tall that they can't hide anyone
Impossible, I don't believe it. Can they fly? "Shi Chen was still watching, but his gaze had already wavered a bit.
The strange thing is that these are all pine trees in front of us. Everyone knows that the trunk of a pine tree is straight, and most people cannot climb on such a high trunk. If we insist that those two people are hiding on it, it must be that they are transformed from monsters.
This kind of nonsense only flickered in Shi Chen's head and disappeared. The greater possibility in his heart was that those two people had run back on foot. So when a large group of brothers returned, he only left less than ten people to continue searching, while the others followed him and drove all the way back.
I don't know if those ten people were too dedicated, or if they were afraid of being scolded by the boss when they went back. Anyway, these people wandered around in this small pine forest for two hours, including finding people and chatting, and drove back and forth until the moon rose in a noisy manner.
During these two hours, Xiaoji experienced the most difficult test of her life.
The dense pine needles were both a shield and a weapon, protecting her from being discovered and leaving dense marks on her body. If it weren't for Shi Jiu's clothes draped over the two of them, she would have been pricked into a hedgehog by now.
Watching those people leave, Xiaoji poked her head out of the tree slightly. When she moved, the thick trunk swayed up and down, quickly causing strong dissatisfaction from Shijiu.
Can you please stop moving? It makes me dizzy, "Shi Jiu pushed away the pine needles, revealing a bitter expression.
Can you also faint? "Thinking of his reckless riding, Xiaoji clearly didn't believe it. She wanted to tease him a few more words, but when she caught a glimpse of the injury on his back, she thought to herself," Hold onto me tightly, let's go down
Dantian took a breath, and Xiaoji jumped down with Shijiu. She was extra careful when getting off the ground, as there was a seriously ill patient behind her. If she twisted and injured again, everyone wouldn't be able to go back tonight.
Fortunately, during the entire process, Shi Jiu only snorted symbolically a few times. His back was severely injured, but he held on until his entire face turned pale.
What has changed about you? Even climbing a tree is so powerful. "Sitting on the ground, Shi Jiu was sweating profusely. Although he was in excruciating pain, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ji, filled with countless questions.
This question is exactly what Xiao Ji is most afraid of hearing. She really wants to hum a few words to pass it off, but Shi Jiu clearly refuses to let her go and leans over halfway.
I just saw it
What did you see? "A pair of eyes suddenly came so close that Xiaoji was startled. After a brief moment of nervousness, she used a fan to divert the other person's attention, even though she wasn't hot at all now.
Your eyes turned golden just now, even though you wore two layers of glasses, I still saw it
There was something called doubt flickering in Shi Jiu's eyes, and two sharp gazes made Xiao Ji tremble with fear. She wanted to change the subject, but only with a slight movement of her mouth did Shi Jiu reach out and take off her glasses in an instant.
My eyes are golden, capable of night vision, with infinite power, and I can even jump up and down trees, "Shi Jiu's eyebrows fluttered as he counted what Xiao Ji knew." Jin Xiao Ji, I'm becoming more and more interested in you
I don't need you to be interested in me, just take care of yourself
Shi Jiu's eyes were too hot, as if he had vaguely guessed something. Xiao Ji's hair was tingling, and she quickly turned her face away from him.
Don't talk nonsense, let's go back
Shi Jiu stood up unsteadily, although his posture remained strange, at least his face improved a bit. At first, he didn't say anything, just stared at Xiao Ji's profile for a while. Finally, he thought of something and sneered, "How do you want to go back? Do you need to leave
The moon hung like a fishing hook in the sky, shaking the ground white, while the only highway leading to the western city was silent. One or two cars that appeared unexpectedly also raced fast, as if chased by ghosts from behind.
Seeing this, Xiaoji frowned and asked, "How far is it from the city center here
If you have a car, it takes an hour
Then walk back
Halfway through the conversation, she closed her mouth. These issues are not difficult to calculate, and it would take at least two to three hours to walk, let alone someone who is injured and unable to walk.
Damn it, they took my phone too! "Without her phone, she couldn't notify her cousin, and now he was really anxious." Why don't I go to the roadside to stop the car? You wait here, and I'll call you when I stop it
Are you crazy? No one parks in this kind of place, haven't you watched the news? Recently, there have been frequent highway bullies blocking the way, which has caused panic among people. And even if it were you, would you stop when you see someone blocking the car
Indeed not, wouldn't a normal person appear on a pitch black road in the middle of the night? Xiaoji's mouth moved, feeling very depressed for the first time.
What should we do then
Wait! "Shi Jiu only said one word, and then explained to Xiao Ji," Anyway, Cui Zizhi knows we've been arrested. With her father's methods, we'll find out here soon. We just need to wait a little longer
Waiting for Cui Zizhi? Xiao Ji suddenly remembered what Cui Zizhi had said before being taken away by Li Wei. At that time, she said she would come to save herself, but she didn't believe it much, while Shi Jiu firmly believed it.
Is this just a tacit understanding between them?
Little Ji unexpectedly did not object and silently walked back to the forest with him. At night, the wind is strong and there are trees blocking it, which can be slightly better. If it's too cold, you can climb back up the tree and stand at a high place to detect it as soon as someone comes.
I don't know if it was because their attitude changed too quickly, or if Shi Jiu didn't want to say anything, they both leaned against the tree and fell silent. The cold wind blew over and over again, and the vehicles passing by became fewer and fewer. As silence slowly descended, there was no sign of popularity at all.
Does she not know that we are here? "This thought lingered in Xiao Ji's heart for a long time before she spoke out. In fact, with Cui Zizhi's busy and urgent personality, if she knew, she might not have come. The current situation only shows that they have been isolated.
Shi Jiu remained surprisingly silent, and Xiao Ji asked again, but he still didn't answer.
Is this guy asleep? An idea suddenly came to her mind, and Xiaoji turned her head to look. Shijiu lowered her head, unable to see her face, and remained motionless as if she had fallen asleep.
Hello, Shijiu? "Xiaoji stood up and crouched down again in front of him." Are you sleeping
Shi Jiu indeed closed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, but his furrowed brow slowly loosened. He looks very tired, after all, he rode his motorcycle around Xilin City for half a circle, so it's strange that he's not tired now.
Shi Jiu fell asleep, and Xiao Ji squatted in front of him, looking at him. He didn't open his eyes, and the oppressive feeling like a wolf suddenly decreased a lot. His whole body still exuded a faint gentle temperament.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiaoji carefully examined his appearance once again. Shi Jiu's nose is very tall, seeming to have some European ancestry, and his eyelashes are also very long, which is extremely rare among boys, but the most distinctive feature is his lips, thin and soft, revealing a sexy taste.
If you insist on saying there is anything similar between them, it's only those thin lips. Xiaoji remembers her father once joked with her mother about why her daughter only had a mouth that looked like her the most. She didn't really think about that at the time, but now she finally understands something.
