Although Xiao Lang had undergone ruthless and harsh training since childhood, he couldn’t just leave a child behind.
No matter how this child appeared here, they couldn’t bear to abandon her.
So, they could only take her along, always ensuring her safety.
"Let’s take her with us," Li Mingxi said to Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang nodded in agreent, "Okay."
Li Mingxi smiled at the little girl and said, "Sweetheart, would you like to co with uncle and auntie? We won’t hurt you."
The little girl looked at her timidly, showing so hesitation, as if she understood her words.
It seems she can understand Chinese.
Li Mingxi extended her hand, "Co with us, okay? We’ll take you away from here and help you find your mom and dad. It’s very dangerous here, we must leave imdiately."
The little girl hesitated for a few seconds and then placed her hand in hers.
Actually, by now, she had no other choice but to follow them.
Besides, they seed not to be bad people...
Li Mingxi held her soft little hand, then picked her up, "Let’s go."
Xiao Lang proactively took the child, "Let , it’s faster this way."
Li Mingxi didn’t argue with him, indeed, it was much faster with him carrying the child.
Xiao Lang easily held the child in one arm, and with the other hand, he held Li Mingxi’s, leading them forward.
...
Along the way, Li Mingxi occasionally talked to the little girl, hoping she would speak.
But she remained silent and didn’t speak, still sowhat cautious of them.
Li Mingxi found it strange, what could have happened to make a child so guarded?
In any case, she wasn’t mute, so she must have gone through sothing unpleasant, otherwise why wouldn’t she speak?
Li Mingxi stopped asking her later and focused solely on traveling.
Their current priority was to avoid the pursuers behind them and wait for others to rescue them.
They walked for several hours, and the sun was about to set.
Xiao Lang was captured and brought to the jungle in the morning, and soon after, he escaped. All day long, he hadn’t rested at all.
Yet he wasn’t tired, but Li Mingxi was very tired.
She was exhausted and thirsty, really unable to walk any further.
Fortunately, at this mont, they found a water source.
It was a river, with very clear water, about seven to eight ters wide, not very deep, but sowhat rapid.
Xiao Lang stopped and said, "Let’s rest here; no one should catch up."
Li Mingxi nodded and wiped the sweat from her brow, asking him, "Is this water drinkable?"
Xiao Lang saw fish swimming in the water and nodded, "Yes."
Li Mingxi cheered and imdiately went to drink, wash her face, and soak her feet.
Xiao Lang also drank so water, and even the little girl couldn’t resist drinking; they were truly so thirsty.
After washing their faces, Xiao Lang looked up at the sky, finding it very dark. They couldn’t continue their journey; otherwise, they’d face many unknown dangers.
"Let’s spend the night nearby; you take a break, and I’ll catch so fish to grill."
"I’ll gather firewood!" Li Mingxi eagerly said.
She was pampered since childhood, with the only hard work during her dical studies.
But today, she walked such a long way, endured so many hardships, and didn’t complain at all in this harsh environnt, maintaining an optimistic and proactive attitude, which showed how cheerful she was.
