Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by

Everyone's attention shifted to the towering trees overhead.

"Ah? Climb a tree? We can't climb up." Jiang Yuan opened her mouth wide. These trees were old trees that had survived in the deep mountains and forests for who knows how long. It would be difficult to climb up them.

"Yes, Yi Jie, we may not be able to do it." Yuan Jingyu looked embarrassed.

Yi Jie looked at everyone's embarrassed faces and persuaded them, "I know this is a difficult task for everyone, but the villagers are definitely more familiar with this forest than we are. They will naturally take the good roads we have found. Hiding on the plain is tantamount to exposing ourselves. As for the cave, let's not talk about whether we can find it or not. Whether there are wild beasts in the cave is the danger. Hiding in the trees, with leaves and branches to block the view, they will be in a hurry and will not look at us. We have a chance to survive. After they pass by, we can get down from the trees and escape."

"Xiao Jie is right. They have guns. These desperadoes have no reason at all. Rather than being shot to death or being torn to pieces by wild beasts, we might as well fight hard!" Meng Jie always supports Yi Jie.

"Let's give it a try! We agreed to escape together." Guo Zijia's young face was glowing.

Yi Jie continued to explain: "I didn't propose this for no reason. When I was looking for food just now, I saw a large bunch of vines that looked very strong. We made ropes with them, and then those with better physical strength climbed up and pulled those with weaker physical strength up. After we climbed up the tree, we tied our bodies to the trunk with the vines, so we don't have to be too afraid of falling down."

Yi Jie's words were logical, and Jiang Yuan and the others relaxed. Wang Yushan flexed her wrist and said to everyone, "Don't worry about it! We don't have that much time to think about it! Yi Jie, tell us where the vine is, and we'll look for it together."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Yi Jie led them to the place where the vines grew.

Flexible vines were crawling all over the slope, some of them were dry but still entwined. Yi Jie picked up one and pulled it hard, confirming that it was quite tough, and said happily: "Let's pull some out! Three vines are enough for one rope."

Everyone worked together. The vines were deeply rooted and required the efforts of several people to remove them. Fortunately, they had a lot of people so it didn't take too much time.

The vines were piled in front of everyone. The girls were good at making ropes, which was more secure. Yi Jie led the boys to find suitable trees to hide in, with thick trunks and lush leaves.

The young people had good eyesight. They found all five trees in seven or eight minutes. They worked in pairs, and Yi Jie finished the work last, so each of them tied one tree. The girls had also braided their ropes. Everything was ready, and they just had to climb the trees.

"Everyone listen to me. I will climb up first and then meet you from above. After they climb up the tree, I will come down. The people on the tree will reel in the rope and tie themselves to the trunk, and so on. I will take care of the finishing work. There is no need to argue anymore. I am strong enough and have enough physical strength. Time is running out." Yi Jie's tone did not allow for any objection and she made the final decision.

Even though everyone didn't want Yi Jie to suffer alone, they also knew that not causing trouble at this time was the greatest help. Yi Jie was much stronger than them, so she didn't say anything more and just followed the orders silently.

The girls climbed the tree first because they had relatively less physical strength, so they could avoid being caught in time to dodge.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?" Yi Jie asked Meng Jie, who was tying the rope around her waist, with concern. She was too tired after the day and was worried about Meng Jie's illness.

"Don't worry, I can hold on. Don't worry too much about me. You should take care of yourself. We will be fine." Meng Jie's eyes were misty. She was very afraid that something might happen to Yi Jie.

"Yes, I will." Yi Jie hugged her gently and soon let go.

The tree in front of them needed two people to hug together, and Yi Jie prepared to climb up. She turned and said to everyone, "Once you are on the tree, you must hold on to the trunk tightly. Although there is a rope, it is better to be safe. You must move gently and don't talk. You don't know when that group of people will come. Stay alert at all times, okay?"

Everyone nodded obediently, which made Yi Jie feel relieved.

She secretly changed the style of the soles of her shoes to professional soles with strong adsorption. Yi Jie grabbed a vine, hugged the tree and pressed her feet against the tree, exerting force upwards. Every time she climbed up, she had to use a lot of strength. Even though Yi Jie was extremely strong, she planned to eat a mint candy to replenish her energy after getting down from the tree.

Everyone stared at Yi Jie in amazement as she climbed higher and higher under the tree. She was using her physical strength to support her body.

"Yi Shen is truly worthy of being Yi Shen! I have never seen anything she can't do." Wan Hefei's mouth was open so wide that an egg could fit in it.

"Yes, from today on, Yi Shen is my idol." Liu Zhijie's eyes followed Yi Jie. He wanted to be like her and become a very powerful person.

"Okay, don't think about it for now. She will still pull us up the tree later. Don't just rely on Yi Jie to pull you up, climb up as hard as you can." Wang Yushan lowered her head and looked up at Yi Jie and said to everyone.

"Yeah, are we that stupid? It's too much to let Xiao Jie do all the work." Yang Wenjun said with a puffed face.

"Okay, Meng Jie, get ready, I'll pull you up!" Yi Jie stood firmly on the tree and shouted to the people below.

Meng Jie calmly walked to the tree and climbed up with great effort, imitating Yi Jie's previous behavior. Seeing that Yi Jie looked so relaxed, she thought that she could at least struggle for a while. However, she didn't expect that it would be very difficult to climb up even an inch.

Suddenly, there was a huge pulling force from the rope around her waist, which pushed her up. Yi Jie was pulling her up! Meng Jie climbed up the tree easily.

After helping her tie the rope, Yi Jie gave her a few instructions, picked a few leaves to cover her, and quickly climbed down the tree.

She sent the students up the tree one by one. It took more effort to pull the boys, but it was within Yi Jie's tolerance. Everyone had a new understanding of Yi Jie's strength. What did Yi Jie eat to grow up? Could she share some of her food with them so that they could also gain some strength?

Yi Jie cleaned up the flat ground where everyone had been, wiped away all traces, and cleared a new path to mislead others that they were going in another direction.

Everything was taken care of, and while no one was looking, she used the Flying Tiger Claw to quickly climb up the tallest tree with the best view among the selected trees, so that she could check at any time.

The waiting time was not long. Deshun hurriedly came into everyone's sight with two women. One of them was familiar to everyone, she was his wife, the proprietress of the farm house. The other one was older and no one knew her.

Deshun was carrying a long brown hunting rifle on his back. The people in the tree breathed softly. Even though their legs were numb from squatting on the tree, they did not dare to stand up and disturb the people under the tree.

Yi Jie held the dagger tightly in her hand. Once she noticed any unusual movement, she would swing down the tree using the vines, try to stab De Shun, and then take the gun.

Fortunately, she finished it very well. The three of them did not notice that Yi Jie had stayed here, and they had no intention of looking up to observe the trees carefully.

"It seems that they are running this way." Deshun looked at the new path cleared by Yi Jie and showed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Boss, let's not chase those bastards. It's important to escape. It will be troublesome if we are found by the police." Deshun's wife grabbed his sleeve.

"No, who will avenge my uncle and the others? Can't I do anything to those little brats? I still have this treasure in my hand. You just need to take good care of your aunt. This road can lead us out of the mountain, and I will kill them on the way." Deshun touched the hunting rifle on his back and said that killing Yi Jie and the others would be as easy as killing rabbits.

The people who heard their conversation were facing such a murderer for the first time. They were afraid and shocked. They remembered what Yi Jie said about being alert and staying calm, and they still held on to the tree trunk tightly without moving an inch.

Deshun and his two companions did not stay long before leaving. Yi Jie waited 20 minutes after they left before she climbed down the tree along the vines and picked up her classmates.

"You don't know, my entire right leg is so numb that it can't be any more numb." Guo Zijia covered his thigh and grimaced.

"Who isn't?" Yang Wenjun also rubbed her legs.

"Okay, okay, everyone has worked hard and performed very well just now. Let's take a break and then go back to the village." Yi Jie looked at the survivors with a smile.

After stretching their sore bodies for a while, everyone returned to the village along the same route they took up the mountain.

"The village is very quiet. I don't know if the situation has been completely under control. You wait here for me, I will go and investigate first." Yi Jie turned and said to the people hiding in the orchard.

"Yi Jie, let me go with you!" said Wang Yushan.

"No, I can do it!" Yi Jie rejected.

"There may still be criminals in this village. You may not notice so many if you go alone. I usually fight a lot and can help you! Everyone is worried about you facing danger alone again!" Wang Yushan's tone was unusually tough.

"Yi Jie, let Wang Yushan help you. This guy is really good at fighting." Guo Zijia recalled the embarrassing incident when he was beaten by Wang Yushan.

"Yes, Xiao Jie, more people means more strength, otherwise we won't feel at ease." Yang Wenjun said earnestly.

Everyone's gazes were too direct, Yi Jie had no choice but to agree, and her classmates were just concerned about her.

"Yi Jie, don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back. My classmates can all vouch for me that anything that happens to me has nothing to do with Yi Jie." Wang Yushan said with certainty.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, nothing will happen. I won't let anything happen to any of you." Yi Jie interrupted him.

"Yes, we will all get through this safely." Yuan Jingyu said confidently, placing her palms flat in front of everyone. "We will get out of this together!"

Everyone understood what he meant, and they all put their palms together to cheer themselves up, "Let's get out of this together!"

After watching Yi Jie and Wang Yushan leave, the rest of the people found a good place to hide.

"There is no one on the left and behind." Wang Yushan checked the surrounding situation and reported to Yi Jie.

"The same goes for the right and the front." Yi Jie responded.

The two men hid behind a house in the village, as if they were fighting a guerrilla war, one of them holding a wooden stick, constantly reminding the other of the situation and not daring to relax.

"You! It's those students!" A tall and strong villager holding an axe ran out from the corner, blood on his body.

Yi Jie was suddenly startled. She had finally found a fish that had slipped through the net.

The man raised the axe and was about to chop at the two men.

"Squat down and run forward!" Yi Jie said in a low and hurried voice.

Wang Yushan reacted very quickly and squatted down.

Yi Jie squatted down and hit the man's leg with a wooden stick. The man felt a sharp pain in his leg and changed the direction of the axe attack towards Yi Jie, but Yi Jie had not taken any action yet.

"Bang!" The man fell down with a loud bang. Wang Yushan, who had run to the front earlier, stood behind the man, panting, holding a wooden stick. He had used all his strength in that hit.

After taking a breath, he adjusted his state.

"Yi Jie, are you okay?"

"It's okay, good job!" Yi Jie gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Yushan smiled shyly, "Let's leave quickly, someone might have heard the noise and is coming this way."

Yi Jie stood up, nodded, and the two continued to move forward.

They didn't encounter any villagers, and the police didn't see them either. Maybe they hid very well and chose extremely secluded places, so the two of them walked smoothly and got closer and closer to the village entrance.

"Xiao Jie!" Officer Ge covered his arm and stood in front of a police car with three policemen. He saw from afar Yi Jie and the boy he had seen last time running out of the village gate.

"Uncle Ge!" Yi Jie quickened her pace and ran to Officer Ge.

"Are you injured? Why are you so dirty again?" Officer Ge walked around Yi Jie and examined her carefully.

Yi Jie scratched her head and said, "I'm fine. This is a long story. Uncle Ge, are you injured?"

Officer Ge said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury, no big deal."

"We need to apply medicine in time," Yi Jie saw police officers surrounding a group of people squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads. The one standing in the front was the village chief. "Uncle Ge, my classmates are hiding in the orchard in the village. Please send someone to pick them up. In addition, three people ran up the mountain, one man and two women. The man has a gun. I think there is a way to escape to the outside world on the mountain. You must chase them as soon as possible."

Officer Ge replied solemnly, "Okay, you two rest here first. I'll send a few people to pick up your classmates. There are patrolling police in the village, catching those who escaped. They are protected and will not be in danger."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Uncle Ge." Yi Jie and Wang Yushan stepped aside.

Officer Ge picked up the pager and said, "Team Three will send four people to the orchard in the village. There are still students there. Be sure to protect them and get them out of the village successfully."

"The rest of you go up the mountain to search for the fugitives first. There's one man and two women. The man has a gun. Reinforcements will be here soon. We must not let them escape!"

There were many policemen outside the village treating their wounds. The most seriously injured one was shot in the thigh and his veins were bulging with pain. The team doctor was giving him simple treatment and he had to be sent to the hospital for surgery.

"Are you still planning to be a police officer?" Yi Jie asked Wang Yushan.

"Well! The more I see, the more determined I am in my ideas." Wang Yushan clenched his fists, his face gradually becoming firm, like a newborn poplar, growing vigorously.

Yi Jie lowered her head with relief and said, "I think you can do it. As a friend, I think you have great potential!"

Seeing Yi Jie's frank and sincere eyes, Wang Yushan felt a little disappointed. She really only treated him as a friend. He soon let it go. Friends are also very good. He understood that Yi Jie had many things she wanted to do just like him. It was a happy thing to be able to work together and be good friends for life. She was so dazzling, and there must be a broader world in the future!
