Chapter 936: North and Love (19)
The sudden hug made Beiji look a little surprised, and he couldn't help frowning.
"You finally came!"
"I almost thought I'd never see you again!"
The sound of soft sobbing made Beiji put down his hands that were about to push her away.
"Sorry, I'm late."
He really wasn't thoughtful enough and shouldn't have left her alone at the foot of the mountain for so long, especially at night.
He forgot that she was a weak woman who had no martial arts skills and could not protect herself.
Gong Fu's tears kept falling, and the fear in her heart still lingered. But when she heard his apology, her emotions were instantly soothed.
"Are you okay?" She looked up and asked him nervously, worried that the beasts just now would hurt him.
Noticing that she was in a better mood, Bei Ji took two steps back, keeping a distance from her that was neither too far nor too close.
"I am fine."
He is already a master who has entered the second level realm. How could he be hurt by a few beasts?
But she, despite being so frightened, actually still had the mind to ask him if he was hurt.
Seeing his distant actions, Gong Fu couldn't help feeling lost.
The air became quiet and stagnant. Bei Ji's eyes changed slightly and he said softly, "The child's life is saved, but he needs to be treated here for two days. Let's leave the valley first."
Hearing that Qingfeng was fine, Gong Fu finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart.
She looked up at him, her eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, Qingfeng would definitely be doomed this time."
Beiji didn't say anything, just slowed down his pace and walked in front to lead the way.
The way out of the valley must pass through the Mountains of Beasts, but with him around, as long as he releases a little bit of his internal pressure, those wild beasts that are ready to move will not dare to show up.
The journey was quiet and smooth.
Crossing the iron bridge, Beiji took her to the top of the cliff.
The two of them remained silent the entire way, and Gong Fu was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Um, someone just wanted to do me..."
Beiji responded calmly, "I saw it."
Gong Fu's face showed surprise, and her steps stopped unconsciously.
Did he see it?
Then why didn’t you act sooner?
Sensing the silence behind him, he stopped and looked back at her.
Her brows were furrowed, as if she was troubled and doubtful about something.
He thought his words might have misunderstood her, so he explained, "I heard the man's screams, and when I rushed over, I only saw his torn body."
Hearing this, her face lit up with joy, "So, you didn't arrive a long time ago, but just arrived, right?"
He nodded.
Seeing the smile on her face deepen, he was confused. What was there to be happy about?
Gong Fu felt happy because at least it proved that he was not watching her embarrassment on purpose and remained indifferent.
"Oh, by the way, that's not what I wanted to say." The interruption almost made her forget her main purpose.
"I mean, that person doesn't seem to be from the valley! If there's an outsider, shouldn't we tell everyone in the valley? What if there's still such a bad guy in the valley? Wouldn't that put other people in danger?"
She held him back and said, "Should we go back and warn Gu Li?"
Looking at his arm being pulled, he frowned again, "I don't like others touching me."
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Gong Fu's face froze. She didn't expect to get this response.
She withdrew her hand, and her mood sank to the bottom again.
Bei Ji turned around and continued walking, saying, "Three months ago, when the Bei Di attacked the Shanwai Valley, a Bei Di soldier escaped. He took advantage of the chaos in the valley and hid somewhere unknown. To avoid panicking the people in the valley, several tribe leaders did not make this incident public and only searched for him privately."
"The valley outside the mountain is so vast that it's not easy to find someone who's intentionally hiding. That's why he's been hiding for so long without being discovered."
"Apart from him, there should be no other Northern Di soldiers who came that time."
While waiting for news from Yazhi in the afternoon, Li Ziru told Beiji about the attack on Shanwai Valley, including the fish that had just escaped the net.
When he saw the clothes the corpse was wearing, he knew at a glance that it was the undergarment of the Northern Di army, with a wolf totem on it.
He spoke for a long time without getting a response from the person next to him. He was a little surprised and turned around to look. He saw that her face was calm, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she followed him quietly.
She seems a little unhappy.
"Are you OK?"
He stopped, but she didn't even look at the road and bumped into him.
He reached out, grasped her shoulders, and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
Gong Fu looked up quickly, her eyes showing panic.
"Huh? I'm sorry, I, I lost my mind."
She was just a little hurt, and her heart ached...
"Watch the road carefully!"
His tone became slightly heavier.
"Oh……"
My chest was twisting and aching again, and my eyes were hurting a little.
She didn't say anything, and the atmosphere between them fell silent again.
When they returned to the place where the horses were tied, Beiji got on the horse and pulled her up.
Sitting on the horse's back again, the pain in Gong Fu's body spread instantly. Her fingers uncontrollably grabbed his shoulders and she let out a hiss.
Thinking of what he had just said, she instantly let go and put her hands on the horse's back.
Only when the pain subsided did she let go and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Bei Ji turned his face slightly and took in all the pain on her face.
This time, he did not gallop on his horse, but rode the horse and took her slowly down Mang Mountain.
Gong Fu was behind him, looking at his profile, feeling indescribable.
Was he walking so slowly because he knew she was in pain and was deliberately accommodating her?
If so, could she think that he actually cared about her?
Or was it because he had always been such a good person that he cared for everyone, including her, who was riding a horse for the first time?
Thinking of his words "I don't like others touching me", Gong Fu felt her heart ache again.
It should be the latter!
Because he is a good person, he has such clean demeanor and upbringing.
"General Bei..."
She suddenly spoke, causing Beiji's deep pupils to move back slightly.
He murmured, "Yeah."
That voice made Gong Fu's mouth curl up again, and her heart sank even more.
"I think the woman who marries you in the future will definitely be the happiest woman in the world!"
