Surrounding

Sister Xia and Jiang Yu successfully escaped downstairs and quietly left through the bushes.2

However, at this time, they had nowhere to go. They could only follow one path and move forward in the darkness.

After walking for an unknown period of time, Jiang Yu was somewhat exhausted and her consciousness began to blur.

"Sister Xia, Sister Xia?" Jiang Yu called out tentatively. "Are you still there?"

Sister Xia replied, "I'm here, Jiang Yu. Don't be afraid."

Her voice was a little shaky. It was unknown whether it was because it was too cold or because she was afraid.

Jiang Yu didn't have much strength left, but in order not to drag Sister Xia down, she still insisted on walking for some distance.

However, it was this distance that made Jiang Yu use up all her remaining strength.

"I can't walk anymore, Sister Xia," Jiang Yu said breathlessly. "Sister Xia, if you have the strength, you can leave first. Don't mind me, I really don't have the strength."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sister Xia turned around and pulled Jiang Yu along. "I'm your manager, and you're my artist. Now that something has happened, how can I leave you alone?"

"But I don't have the strength now. If you bring me along, I'll only be a burden." Jiang Yu didn't want to drag Sister Xia down, so she simply sat on the ground and refused to move forward.

"Jiang Yu, stop fooling around." Sister Xia squatted down and wanted to persuade Jiang Yu, but she accidentally touched Jiang Yu's neck and pulled her hand back.

"Jiang Yu, do you have a fever?!" Sister Xia's voice trembled this time because she was afraid.

"I, I don't know." Jiang Yu didn't feel anything just now. She only felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

But now, when she sat down and relaxed both physically and mentally, she felt that her head was very heavy, as if it was going to sink into the ground. In addition, her consciousness was becoming more and more blurry, and she couldn't even hear Sister Xia's words clearly.

Sister Xia wanted to say something more, but she saw the light of a flashlight flickering in the distance. There were also people talking loudly.

However, they were speaking in a dialect, so Sister Xia and Jiang Yu couldn't understand them.

"Oh no, they've caught up to us so quickly?" Sister Xia was shocked. She originally wanted to pull Jiang Yu along and continue walking forward, but Jiang Yu was already out of strength and was running a fever. There was no way for them to continue walking.

In the end, they were forced into a corner. Sister Xia had no choice but to hide with Jiang Yu in the nearby reeds, using the tall and dense reeds to hide herself and Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's breathing became more and more rapid. Sister Xia was worried that she would suck the reeds into her lungs, so she used her hand to gently cover Jiang Yu's nose.

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and the light from the flashlight was getting brighter and brighter.

Sister Xia could only hold her breath and pray silently in her heart that they would not discover her.

After an unknown amount of time, the noise gradually faded away, and the lights became dimmer and dimmer until they finally disappeared.

Only then did Sister Xia let out a long sigh of relief. She originally wanted to call Jiang Yu to get up and turn back, but Jiang Yu had already fainted due to a high fever.

"Jiang Yu? Jiang Yu?" Sister Xia called out a few times, but Jiang Yu didn't respond.

Sister Xia had no choice but to leave Jiang Yu here and go back on her own. Although Jiang Yu was very light, Sister Xia was still a woman and didn't have much strength. Furthermore, Sister Xia had spent a lot of energy when she was running away, so there was no way for her to carry Jiang Yu out of here.

After much thought, Sister Xia could only take off her coat and cover Jiang Yu with it, hoping that her illness wouldn't worsen.

Sister Xia hugged Jiang Yu for an unknown amount of time. When she opened her eyes again, she was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing.

Sister Xia turned on her phone and saw that it was Chang Kai.

"Hello? Chang Kai, have you arrived?" Sister Xia asked anxiously.

"We've arrived at the location you sent me, but we've been knocking on the door for a long time. There's no one inside."

"Come out. Stand at the entrance and look to the east. There's a small path. Follow the path and you'll find a patch of reeds. Jiang Yu and I are in the reeds," Sister Xia said.

"... Okay, I understand." Although he was curious as to why they were hiding in the reeds, Chang Kai didn't ask any further. He directly followed the path Sister Xia told him to find them.

"We're here!" Sister Xia hurriedly shouted when she heard Chang Kai and the others shouting.

Chang Kai and the others followed the sound and found Sister Xia in a sorry state. She was carrying the unconscious Jiang Yu in her arms.

"What... happened to you guys?" Chang Kai looked at Sister Xia and Jiang Yu in bewilderment. He didn't know how they became like this.
