"Little village child, something seems to be coming!~" Xiao Jinheng exclaimed in alarm, instinctively pulling Xiao Xitian behind him.
In these deep mountains, all sorts of wild beasts come out at night...
Especially small children their age, they are the favorite targets for wild beasts to attack.
Slow runners, poor defense, only know how to squeal.
If bitten, they would surely cry for a long time.
"Could it be a black bear!~" Xiao Xitian said.
She heard that black bears like to hibernate in tree hollows, and this large tree hollow in front of them might just be their den...
"Let's go, let's go to the pond and build a big bonfire, the black bear won't dare to come over!~"
Xiao Jinheng grabbed Xiao Xitian's hand and was about to leave.
But it was too late. The large mother bear that had attacked Kong Xingzhuo and the others rushed out.
She was also leading the little black bear, which was small, like a puppy...
"Bear, there's a bear!~" Xiao Jinheng shouted.
Xiao Xitian rolled her eyes, "I see it!"
Why are you shouting so loudly!
The black bear stared blankly at the two human cubs in front of it, two black lines flashing across its furry head...
What's going on today, why are they seeing humans one after another?
"Little village child, you seem very calm, aren't you afraid?" Xiao Jinheng asked curiously.
If it were an ordinary child, they would have fainted from fear upon seeing a black bear.
Xiao Xitian shrugged, "What can I do if I'm afraid? Or, should I cry for you to see?"
Xiao Jinheng: "......"
Disaster is imminent, and this girl still has the mood to joke?
Her mindset is too good!
The mother bear raised its large head and roared.
Its den had been occupied, and it was both angry and depressed.
In these deep mountains, it was not easy to find such a large tree hollow...
Moreover, the mother bear had marked its territory by urinating, so why did they dare to intrude?
It was infuriating.
The mother bear scratched the ground with its large paws, preparing to attack.
"Little... Little village child, it, it, it's going to charge!~"
Even the usually calm Xiao Jinheng was now as pale as paper, his feet trembling slightly.
Xiao Xitian narrowed her eyes, grabbed Xiao Jinheng's hand, "What are you waiting for, let's run!"
If absolutely necessary, she didn't want to use a tranquilizer dart to injure the mother bear.
Alas, everyone has their difficulties.
If they could naturally shake it off, wouldn't that be a happy ending...
So, the two little buns turned and ran towards the pond.
The mother bear shook its dark fur and chased after them.
It wasn't as kind as Xiao Xitian. If it could catch these two little things, it would be enough for it and its cub to eat for several days.
The evening wind whistled past their ears, and the surroundings were pitch black, with only the beam of a flashlight faintly flickering in the forest...
"Little village child, the black bear doesn't seem to want to let us go!~" Xiao Jinheng looked back and was so startled that he was sweating profusely.
He saw the mother bear break a small tree with a 'crack', its angry and unstoppable appearance as if it wanted to devour them alive...
Xiao Xitian knew she couldn't escape. Ahead was the pond, and the sides were covered with large rocks.
Bears can swim, so even if they jumped into the water, it would be useless.
"Stinky boy, stand here and don't move, I'll go deal with it!~" Xiao Xitian stopped and ran back.
Xiao Jinheng was stunned for a second, then quickly chased after her, "No, it will eat you..."
"I said, stand still and don't move!~" Xiao Xitian said with a serious face.
She was usually cheerful and playful, and her sudden serious expression made Xiao Jinheng quite unaccustomed to it.
"Little village child, I know you're different from normal people, but that's a bear!~" Xiao Jinheng said with distress.
Xiao Xitian had no time to explain. She saw the mother bear charging towards her like a small mountain, opening its bloody maw to swallow Xiao Xitian...
At the critical moment, a syringe filled with anesthetic appeared out of thin air and shot towards the mother bear with a 'swish'.
"Roar!~"
The tranquilizer dart accurately pierced its neck. The mother bear, in pain, roared wildly and stopped its attack.
Xiao Xitian took the opportunity to grab Xiao Jinheng's hand, "Let's go!"
"Okay!~"
The two little buns climbed onto the rocks and left the pond area...
The anesthetic was very potent, and it would take at least an hour or two to wake up.
Xiao Xitian was afraid it would track them by scent, so she tried to stay far away from this place.
"Little village child, are you hurt?" Xiao Jinheng asked as they ran.
Xiao Xitian's face was solemn, and she shook her head, "No!"
She had just run too fast, and her ankle hurt a little...
If she kept running like this, her ankle would be swollen like a large mallet by morning.
"Let's stop and rest!~" Xiao Jinheng panted, "Or, or I can carry you."
He was really heartbroken for the girl.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer.
"Can you carry me!" Xiao Xitian grinned.
Although she didn't eat much, her small body was plump and very heavy...
Xiao Jinheng grabbed her, "Don't worry, this young master can carry you!~"
If he couldn't even carry a little girl, what kind of man would he be?
Seeing his unwavering determination, Xiao Xitian said, "Alright then, if you can't carry me, just say so!"
She couldn't afford to break this stinky boy.
So, the moment Xiao Xitian leaned on his back, Xiao Jinheng's face turned green...
So heavy!
Like a little pig.
This little stinky girl, she didn't seem to be greedy for food usually, why was she so heavy.
Xiao Jinheng's left arm was injured, making it difficult to encircle Xiao Xitian with his other arm.
After trying a few times, he could only stoop, lower his head, and walk forward with difficulty...
Xiao Xitian hooked her arms around his neck, her small body slipping down.
"Stinky boy, I'm going to fall!"
"I, I know!" A cold sweat dripped from Xiao Jinheng's forehead.
To salvage his pride as a man, he had to persevere.
Meanwhile, at the Old Yun family's place.
"How is it, still haven't found them?" Madam Gu asked anxiously.
The constables sent by Magistrate Chen had already returned, and the village chief had led everyone to search the mountains for another half a day, but they still couldn't find them...
Yun Daman and Yun Erman hadn't slept for a day and a night, and now their eyes were dark circles, and they couldn't even eat.
"No, we searched the Gou Gou Lake area, and the fishermen are also keeping an eye out, but they haven't seen Young Master Xiao and sister!~" Yun Daman choked out.
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu exchanged a look with Old Man Yun, and felt her head buzzing...
When people are anxious and angry, their blood pressure will soar, and their heart rate will quicken.
If her little daughter were to have an accident, Madam Gu would probably not be able to hold on for a month before passing away.
At this moment, a carriage arrived outside the Yun family's gate...
