Her heart skipped a beat, and fireworks exploded in her head.

Different from when she was chasing Lu Yan before.

She seemed.

Fell in love with Shang Yanjing.

Sensing that emotion, Jiang Zhi's breathing became a little disordered.

He seemed to be sweating too.

She felt guilty and wanted to cover it up, but suddenly, she didn't know how to cover it up.

This had never happened before when she was pursuing Lu Yan.

Jiang Zhi suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked back at the horse on the ground.

"Shang Yanjing."

She whispered his name.

"Ok?"

Her eyebrows were drooping, and her eyes fell on Shang Yanjing's neck. "What about Taozi...?"

"She was poisoned and is dead."

The poison she was poisoned with was deadly and there was almost no chance of survival.

Hearing this, the throbbing in my heart was extinguished in an instant.

The man looked at the horse and spoke again, "She has blood on her body, which will attract ferocious beasts. If we stay here, we will all die."

Jiang Zhi's expression changed.

"There are seven sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, meeting with enemies and those we hate, separation from loved ones, and failure to obtain what we desire. Zhizhi, everyone has to go through these, but not every time you have the chance to say goodbye. So, say goodbye to her—!"

Jiang Zhi grabbed his collar, and her grip tightened.

Yes, not every time you have the chance to say goodbye.

She didn't have a chance to say goodbye to her parents.

And this time...

She looked at the horse on the ground.

She was the one who harmed Taozi.

If they could get out, she would definitely help her get revenge.

"Ok?"

"Yeah." Her voice was a little hoarse, "Let's go."

Shang Yanjing walked in the direction they came from, but the horse that had followed him had disappeared.

The man pursed his lips tightly, his dark eyes staring ahead.

He will take Jiang Zhi out.

They also have to go out.

She didn't know how long they walked, Jiang Zhi quietly hugged his neck, and from time to time, she seemed to hear her heartbeat speeding up little by little.

"Are you hot after carrying me for so long?"

The man raised his chin slightly and looked sideways at Jiang Zhi, "My back is hurting?"

"No." Jiang Zhi pursed her lips, and suddenly looked at the drop of sweat hanging on the man's chin. She wiped it with her sleeve.

Although it is deep in the mountains.

The temperature is much lower than outside.

Although Jiang Zhi was not heavy and the man had no difficulty carrying her, Shang Yanjing was carrying her on his back after all, and there were all kinds of vines along the way, so it was actually very difficult to walk.

The sudden touch made Shang Yanjing subconsciously stop. The soft touch, with the sweetness of Jiang Zhi, made his heart feel itchy.

"Don't hook me at a time like this."

Jiang Zhi raised her head slightly and suddenly looked at the man's profile, "...What are you thinking about?"

The corners of the man's lips curled up.

Carrying her on his back, he continued walking forward, but Jiang Zhi felt that the trees around him were the same as before, as if they were still walking along the same path.

A few years ago, she saw a news report that several rescue teams went deep into the mountains and were poisoned by miasma, resulting in several people dying of hypothermia.

Like this deep mountain forest.

Even if there are no wild beasts attacking.

The miasma here is also poisonous, and the carbon dioxide concentration is extremely high, especially at night.

If they can't get out before dark, then...

"Shang Yanjing, are we unable to get out?"

"Scared?"

The man's voice was somewhat nonchalant.

Jiang Zhi's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at him, "No."

The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I heard your heartbeat quickened."

Jiang Zhi's cheeks turned red in an instant, and her heart beat wildly again, like the beating of a drum.

It seemed to be about to jump out of his mouth.

She clutched her clothes tightly, her mind blank. "It was obviously your heartbeat that accelerated. I heard it."

She refused to admit it.

"Yes." The man smiled, "Every time I hug you, my heart beats faster."

Jiang Zhi, "Shang Yanjing, you have no shame at all..."

Shang Yanjing listened to Jiang Zhi's words and tilted his head with interest, "Anyway, I don't have any shame."

Lying on top of him, Jiang Zhi felt her face was about to burst red.

It was becoming increasingly quiet all around.

A gust of wind came howling.

This made Jiang Zhi subconsciously hug Shang Yanjing's neck tightly.

"Did you hear anything?"

The sound of the wind was mixed with the sounds of some other wild animals.

"There's nothing. Don't scare yourself. I'll definitely take you out before dark. Do you believe me?"

Jiang Zhi lay on his back and said, "I believe it."

The man's mouth curled up.

Soon, they came to a lake.

The lake is black.

Jiang Zhi heard a sentence.

Clear water is shallow, green water is deep, and black water is profound.

"Shang Yanjing, have we come to the wrong place?"

I didn't pass by this place when I came here just now.

All along the way, there are roads, no rivers.

Shang Yanjing's eyes darkened a little.

He realized that he was going deeper.

"Hold tight."

He changed direction.

Jiang Zhi heard this.

"Put me down."

"You think I can't carry you?"

Jiang Zhi looked at his sweat and wiped it with her hand. "I know you can carry me, but you've carried me all the way. I want to walk on my own for a while."

"I'm not as fragile as you think. Hold me tight."

With Jiang Zhi's ability, he could only walk a few steps on the road.

After all, this place is full of vines and branches.

If you are not careful, you will get hurt.

Jiang Zhi looked up at the sunlight that could be seen from this angle. She couldn't tell where she was now, but there was such a lush forest that even if a helicopter came, it would probably not be able to get in.

Nature is a wonder of nature.

Humans are insignificant and powerless in front of nature.

She had already noticed that Shang Yanjing had little strength left. They couldn't get out of such a place, and in the end, they would be trapped here to death.

"Shang Yanjing, do you regret it?"

If he hadn't followed in, this matter wouldn't have endangered him.

He wouldn't be in this situation now.

"I never do anything I regret." The man's words were full of wisdom and his voice was resounding.

Jiang Zhi grabbed his collar and said, "I'm sorry."

It was all her fault.

So are peaches.

Shang Yanjing too.

Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness pressed on his heart, and Jiang Zhi stared ahead.

There was fog all around, so thick that you could hardly see your hand in front of you.

Every step was almost dangerous. In the fog, I couldn't see any direction and felt a little adrift.

The sunlight above my head gradually faded away.

Jiang Zhi could no longer see any light at all.

In the quiet place, the sounds of insects and birds kept chirping, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Shang Yanjing, I'll tell you a secret, actually..."
