571: Chapter 571 Danger!

Rescue the Beauty!

Wild mountains and ridges.

Danger lurks!

Zhang Hao looked east and west, still a bit worried.

Wu Jie sneered with a cold huff.

“Spare me!

The descendants of the Tang Family aren’t the kind to be coddled, while we were watching war films, they were already out doing live-fire drills!”

“We’re splashing around catching fish in the river, they’re swimming across armed.

We’re climbing trees to raid bird nests, they’re learning to fly planes.

Instead of worrying about them, we might as well rest here!”

Zhang Hao was utterly astonished.

“That badass, huh!

Tang Le and Tang Kang, are they like that too?”

“Pretty much the same!

Why worry blindly?

Bringing them was just to fulfill a wish, that’s all!”

Wu Jie hummed lightly, found a tree stump to sit on, propped up his leg, and rested with a cigarette.

Seeing Wu Jie so carefree and bold, Zhang Hao simply sat down as well, and they chatted idly about the restaurant opening.

Unknowingly.

They smoked several cigarettes, yet still nobody had returned.

“Weird, have they all gone mad playing?”

Wu Jie pinched out the last cigarette butt and, cursing under his breath, stood up.

“Let’s split up and search; better safe than sorry!”

Seeing Wu Jie nod in agreement, Zhang Hao pulled out his machete and hurried off in the direction where Tang Le and Tang Kang had gone.

Wu Jie, following his memory, prepared to go find Tang Xin, that crazy girl.

Out of everyone, she was the most at risk.

In this vast expanse of forest, the wolves might be gone, but ferocious wild pigs remained.

The mountain folk often say, pigs first, bears second, tigers third.

The tough-skinned, fiercely aggressive wild pigs, once they grow old enough and their tusks long enough, not only have keen senses but also quick reflexes.

With tremendous speed, the destructive power of a charging wild boar is no less than that of a heavy-duty motorcycle ramming hard.

It’s fine if you don’t provoke them, but once enraged, it’s a matter of life and death.

He wasn’t worried about anyone else, but Wu Jie feared for Tang Xin, that crazy girl.

If she encountered a wild pig and overestimated her ability trying to hunt it, that would be dangerous.

Fortunately.

On his way searching, he didn’t hear any girl’s screams or the howling of wild pigs.

Instead, he heard from a distance the voice of Tang Kun.

Having undergone all sorts of training since childhood, his skills with guns and bows were naturally not bad.

It seemed he’d taken down a hare and was cheering jubilantly.

Shaking his head with a smile, Wu Jie continued to patrol the surroundings.

The closer he walked towards the reservoir, the denser the forest grew, and the easier it was for the line of sight to be blocked.

Reviewing tracks of trampled vegetation and footsteps on leaves,

Wu Jie searched ahead calmly, not making a sound so as not to scare away any game.

Soon.

He hadn’t found anyone yet, but instead, he followed the slope to the edge of the reservoir.

“Damn it!

Where did they go?

They wouldn’t have fallen into the reservoir and drowned, would they?”

Wu Jie cursed as he looked around.

Mist hovered over the water, with the light breeze causing ripples to spread.

There were no signs of disturbance in the reservoir, which didn’t suggest anyone had drowned.

Turning around, Wu Jie decided to follow the edge of the reservoir, to go over the ridge to search the other side.

However, not far from there, he heard a commotion.

The sounds of splashing came from the ten o’clock direction.

Accompanied by the quacking of wild ducks, the flapping of wings, and the footsteps of someone in persistent pursuit…

Suddenly!

Wu Jie saw her.

It was Fang Qingya.

She was chasing after a wild duck that had been hit by an arrow, running at full speed.

The wild ducks and chickens in the forest weren’t truly wild, in fact.

With the reservoir being large and the woods expansive,

the chickens and ducks that strayed from the village gradually bred in the forest.

Therefore, the wild duck Fang Qingya was after was really at best a ‘free-range’ version of domestic poultry, which is why it couldn’t fly.

Quacking bizarrely all the way down the slope, once it emerged, it tumbled and flapped towards the reservoir, trying to escape into the water.

A duck’s good swimming is instinct!

“Help me catch the duck!”

Fang Qingya called out to Wu Jie while chasing the duck.

She wanted to notch another arrow, but hitting a moving wild duck was truly difficult.

Wu Jie didn’t just stand there dumbly watching; he immediately rushed forward to flank the duck with Fang Qingya.

The wild duck kept tumbling down the slope, and upon seeing Wu Jie, immediately bolted to the side in fright.

Fang Qingya reflexively changed direction following the duck, but the slope was not like flat land.

The ground was uneven with a steep angle, and also prone to overgrowth of weeds, obscuring the depth at a glance.

With eyes fixed on the wild duck and in hot pursuit, Fang Qingya didn’t notice her footing slipping.

With a slip, she cried out.

Fang Qingya didn’t step firmly, lost her balance, and instantly rolled down the hillside.

When a girl faces danger, her innate instinct isn’t to grab something to save her life but to quickly protect her face.

Wu Jie really watched in somewhat speechless astonishment.

The duck was no longer the priority, as Wu Jie took three steps in two and quickly charged diagonally to intercept her.

Before Fang Qingya could roll into the reservoir, he hurriedly made a fierce pounce, pinning her down.

But coming down the hillside, Fang Qingya’s speed wasn’t slow, and the impact force was strong.

Wu Jie’s forced dive didn’t stop her, and though it reduced the impact force significantly, he was also knocked over.

As the two of them rolled, they were about to roll into the reservoir.

In his urgency, Wu Jie held Fang Qingya tight with one arm and hurriedly reached for the shrubs next to him with the other.

He pulled fiercely, nearly uprooting the bushes.

But fortunately, the two of them finally came to a stop.

They were just a little bit away from rolling into the reservoir.

After they stopped, Wu Jie immediately let go of the shrubs and struggled to his feet.

“There, we didn’t fall into the reservoir!”

Wu Jie extended his hand and pulled up the frightened Fang Qingya.

Though she liked the thrill of speeding, Fang Qingya was a girl after all.

Facing such an incident, of course she was terribly scared.

Thinking she would either be killed or injured from the fall, or roll into the reservoir and become drowned like a rat.

“Thank…

thank you!”

Fang Qingya’s pretty face turned somewhat pale with fright, and after being pulled up by Wu Jie, the first thing she did was to touch her own face.

“Don’t be afraid!

You still look beautiful, not a scratch on you!”

Wu Jie sneered coldly, brushed the dirt and grass off his body, and went to wash his hands by the side of the reservoir.

In his sole focus on rescuing her, he’d grabbed at the bushes without realizing they were full of thorns.

This grab pierced his skin quite badly, leaving many blood blisters and several thorns embedded in his palm.

Fang Qingya calmed her emotions and let out a long sigh.

She walked slowly next to Wu Jie and glanced at him.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s nothing, just a little flesh wound!”

In the meantime,

the wild duck was already fluttering into the reservoir, quacking as it started to swim away.

“Damn it!”

Fang Qingya bent down to pick up a pebble, intending to throw it to kill the duck.

But her hand was suddenly caught by Wu Jie.

What’s happening?

Fang Qingya widened her eyes, about to protest.

But Wu Jie had already taken the pebble from her and, with a swift flick, rapidly and forcefully struck the wild duck.

The duck’s quacking stopped abruptly.

The wild duck quickly became still and began sinking slowly.

Fang Qingya was overjoyed and rushed over.

Making three steps into two, she plunged into the reservoir and pulled up the duck that had fallen into the water.

“Haha!

See where you can run!”

Fang Qingya was extremely delighted, holding the duck high and shaking it, shouting at Wu Jie:

“It’s quite heavy, enough for a delicious meal!”

Wu Jie chuckled mischievously, “Hurry up onto the shore!

Be careful there might be snakes in the water!”

Ah??

Fang Qingya shrieked in fear, grabbing the duck and sprinting onto the shore.

That speed was just like a sprinter in the hundred-meter dash.

After getting onto the shore, she still didn’t forget to look back at the water surface.

Where are the snakes?

“You big jerk Wu Jie, you actually fooled me!”

Fang Qingya bent down to pick up a stone and swiftly threw it into the water in front of Wu Jie.

With a splash, it caused a flower of water to erupt.

Wu Jie dodged, but his back was still splashed with water.

“Damn you, ungrateful woman, if it weren’t for this guy’s heroic rescue, you’d already have rolled into the reservoir!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth,

than Wu Jie suddenly saw a snake moving through the grass next to Fang Qingya.

“Careful, there’s a snake!!”

Fang Qingya sneered, “As if!

Stop trying to fool me!”

Saying so, Fang Qingya took a step forward, about to pass right by that bush.

Wu Jie didn’t have time to call out to stop her, nor to bend down and pick up a stone.

With a cry of “ah”!

Fang Qingya let out a scream…
