Immediately afterwards, the old woman was tied up.

Nie Nan took a deep breath, walked up to Guan Ning, frowned and said apologetically: "Brother Ning, I'm sorry, it was my negligence, and Long Yun was coming for me..."

Guan Ning interrupted: "Brother Nie, if you consider me a friend, then don't say that. This is not your fault. The Liuzhuang incident was originally caused by us."

"I think we should get going. It's getting dark and we haven't even crossed the Shu Peak yet."

At this time, Lou Xinyue stepped forward, her eyes filled with worry: "But can your hands crawl?"

"It's not a big deal, it won't have any impact." Guan Ning said.

"How about I carry Brother Ning on my back?" Nie Nan took the initiative and said without any airs.

Guan Ning suddenly burst into laughter: "Goodbye, goodbye, I'm not that fragile, let's go."

"This..." Nie Nan hesitated. Don't you want to take a break?

He looked at Lou Xinyue, but Lou Xinyue didn't stop him, so he had no choice but to follow him.

The group began to trek through mountains and rivers again. The terrain of Shu Peak was steep, full of gravel and slopes. If the locals had not passed by here frequently or gone up the mountain to collect herbs, leaving behind some roads that could barely be considered passages, it would have been even more difficult to walk on.

But even so, this was still a huge test of people's physical strength, especially Guan Ning. He was injured. Although not seriously, the injury was in an awkward position on his palm, so he could only rely on one hand to climb the mountain and grab the rope.

In order not to delay the entire team and to reach the top of Shufeng Mountain to rest before dark, he did not say a word. Unconsciously, the bandage on his palm was soaked with blood due to the force he exerted.

Lou Xinyue had been observing and stepped forward immediately when she found something wrong.

"your hands!"

"It's okay, let's go."

"You're bleeding, and you still say it's okay!" Lou Xinyue frowned and took the initiative to hold Guan Ning's arm.

Oh shit... Guan Ning's nose was invaded by a fragrant breeze, and his whole body felt dizzy. It felt so soft!

He was supported, and collisions were inevitable on the steep and narrow slope. His shoulders felt like they were sandwiched between two white clouds, and he almost ascended to heaven!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he lost his concentration and nearly fell.

"What are you doing? Watch the road!" Lou Xinyue grabbed him.

Everyone turned around at once.

"Hehe." Guan Ning smiled innocently: "It's okay, it's okay."

As he spoke, he whispered playfully, "Well, Xinyue, if I had known you cared so much about me, I should have taken two more stab wounds."

That smug look made Lou Xinyue speechless yet also a little amused, but her jade face remained indifferent as she taunted him, "You should have let that old woman stab you in the mouth. That way, you'd say less, and that would be considered a merit."

Guan Ning curled her lips: "Wouldn't that make you cry to death?"

"Cry? Will I cry for you?" Lou Xinyue was arrogant and disdainful.

"Is not it?"

"narcissism!"

"..."

The two of them kept bickering along the way. After breaking the ice, it seemed as if they had endless things to talk about, no matter how dangerous and steep the Shu Peak was.

Moreover, Guan Ning tasted the sweetness and stopped trying to be stubborn. Instead, he needed Lou Xinyue madly.

He needed Lou Xinyue to uncork him when he wanted to drink water, and he also needed her to hold him while he was fed. He needed her to support him when he was walking, and sometimes he would just collapse on Lou Xinyue's shoulders...

Even Lou Xinyue needs to wipe her mouth.

Lou Xinyue was reluctant at first, but seeing that Guan Ning was injured, his hands and feet were indeed inconvenient, and he looked like he was dying, she made an exception and did it.

This scene was seen by Nie Nan and others.

They all looked at Nie Nan. Everyone knew that the captain had a girl he had been thinking about.

But Nie Nan remained calm, without any narrow-mindedness. He shook his head and motioned everyone to continue walking, without any change on his face.

Shortly after dark, everyone finally reached the top of Shufeng Mountain after going through untold hardships.

After setting up camp on the scene, everyone took turns standing guard and resting to prevent any more assassins from attacking.

The next day, everyone set out again. The way down the mountain was much easier than going up, at least it was much easier physically. In just over ten hours, everyone successfully got down the mountain.

……

After three days of crossing mountains and rivers, Guan Ning finally arrived at the so-called Bashan.

This is the birthplace of Ba culture and the center of the entire Shu area. This ancient and verdant mountain is not as majestic and huge as the Shu Peak, but it is a holy place in the hearts of everyone in Shu!
