Chapter 1898 She doesn't want to be his burden
Mu Ci put down the last piece of firewood in his hand, looked up at Xu Qiaoqiao, and asked, "The injury on your ankle has not healed yet, let's take a rest here."
Mu Ci frowned and said, "Because I'm afraid that the flowers you are in a hurry to travel will not be good for your ankle."
"But I want to leave now." Xu Qiaoqiao expressed his thoughts directly and said firmly: "I want to go back quickly so that we can contact the outside world and continue to track clues about our baby. I'm very anxious."
Xu Qiaoqiao gently pulled Mu Ci's sleeve: "If you can go out, I will have a good rest."
"No." Mu Ci refused directly: "Qiaoqiao, look at your ankle, it's swollen too much and you can't walk at all. I know you're worried about your baby, but you must protect yourself first to better find the whereabouts of your baby."
She is now injured like this, and leaving rashly will probably only aggravate her injuries.
It rained all day yesterday, and the mountain roads were not easy to walk. If there was any accident...
Mu Ci dared not even think about it.
"I'm leaving now!" The two had an argument, and Xu Qiaoqiao said: "If you insist on not leaving, I'll leave now!"
She couldn't wait any longer.
Xu Qiaoqiao could not imagine how much suffering the child had suffered in the hands of those people after she and Mu Ci had been here for so long.
Looking at the firmness in Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes, Mu Ci thought briefly and finally agreed.
He used soil to seal the fire, bent down to tidy up the backpacks of the two, hung the bags in front of his horse, bent down to make the move to carry Xu Qiaoqiao: "Come up."
"What are you doing?" Xu Qiaoqiao asked in confusion.
"I carry you away. Your ankle is injured. Now you have to walk up the mountain to leave. If you insist on leaving, I will carry you on your back." Mu Ci replied lightly, looking at Xu Qiaoqiao, and repeated again: "Come up."
"But you are also injured." Looking at the blood oozing out of his wound, Xu Qiaoqiao shook his head and refused, "No need, Mu Ci, I can walk up by myself."
It's just a little slower, she can no longer drag Mu Ci down.
"It's okay, I can." After Mu Ci finished speaking, he saw Xu Qiaoqiao standing still without moving. He stretched out his arm and carried Xu Qiaoqiao to his back regardless of her struggle, and walked up step by step with Xu Qiaoqiao on his back.
The mountain roads are rugged and look very difficult and dangerous.
Mu Ci walked slowly up the mountain with Xu Qiaoqiao on his back, but the place where they rolled down was too low and they had to walk up the mountain for a long time before they could get out.
The sun after the rain always seems vibrant and energetic. Xu Qiaoqiao watched more and more sweat leave Mu Ci's cheeks, and he felt distressed after all.
She patted Mu Ci's shoulder gently and said softly: "Mu Ci, please let me down and rest, see how tired you are."
Some sweat flowed into Mu Ci's eyes, but he just squinted his eyes gently and continued on his way.
Mu Ci didn't say anything, but just shook his head and silently rejected Xu Qiaoqiao's proposal.
Xu Qiaoqiao's ankle was injured. If she was let go, she would only aggravate her injuries.
Seeing Mu Ci insisting, Xu Qiaoqiao felt unbearable. She lowered her head and continued to persuade Mu Ci, "Mu Ci, let me down. I can find a wooden stick and then help it away by myself."
The mountain road after the rain was very tide and slippery, and she could feel Mu Ci staggering a few times several times.
"I'll hug you!" Mu Ci ignored Xu Qiaoqiao's words and said to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and pushed Xu Qiaoqiao, who was lying on his body with force, which made Xu Qiaoqiao hug Mu Ci cleverly. Mu Ci laughed a few times and moved his wrist lightly.
"Mu Ci, you'd better put me down, it's too dangerous!"
Listening to Xu Qiaoqiao still nagging in his ears, Mu Ci frowned slightly, hugged Xu Qiaoqiao with both hands, and continued to walk forward silently.
Xu Qiaoqiao was worried that continuing to speak would cause Mu Ci to be distracted, so she had to shut up, lower her head and look at Mu Ci at the road, and occasionally whispered a few words.
Mu Ci felt Xu Qiaoqiao's concern for him, and there was a hint of undetectable smile on his face, which had always been cold.
In the end, Mu Ci carried Xu Qiaoqiao for most of the journey. Xu Qiaoqiao felt sorry for Mu Ci but had no choice but to help Mu Ci wipe the sweat that flowed into his eyes from time to time.
In this way, the two of them climbed on the huge and panicked Sushuang Mountain, looking for a way back, from sunrise to mid-sun.
Xu Qiaoqiao fed Mu Ci and drank some water, and the two continued to walk forward.
"Mr. Mu! Miss Xu!"
"Mr. Mu! Miss Xu, can you hear me talking?"
Near the mountainside, Mu Ci vaguely heard Qin Yun's voice, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Qin Yun's arrival was almost the same as what he had guessed, and he was able to help them leave.
"Mu Ci, listen quickly, it's Qin Yun, it's Qin Yun's voice, hurry, he seems to be there, let's go there."
Xu Qiaoqiao on his back also noticed the arrival of Qin Yun and others, and urged Mu Ci to go to the direction of the sound source. If Qin Yun and others happened to come, Mu Ci would no longer have to walk so many roads on his back.
After hearing this, Mu Ci pursed his thin lips a little unhappy, and a trace of loss flashed through his heart.
In fact, he just thought that it would be great if the two of them could keep going like this.
Unfortunately, all the warmth just now was just a dream of Nan Ke, and he was about to wake up.
Just as Mu Ci was trapped in his own thoughts, Xu Qiaoqiao saw that he had not moved for a long time, reached out and swayed in front of him twice: "Mu Ci, what's wrong with you?"
Then Mu Ci suddenly came to his senses and walked towards the direction where Qin Yun's voice came with Xu Qiaoqiao on his back.
After walking a distance, Qin Yun's shouting became clearer and clearer.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Mu Ci as if he was speechless, and was not angry. Instead, she shouted at herself: "Assistant Qin, we are here!"
As long as Qin Yun helped them down the mountain, they could soon continue to find the whereabouts of their children, and this way, Mu Ci could be much easier.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought about the subsequent arrangements and the child, and she felt much happier.
Qin Yun in front heard Xu Qiaoqiao's voice and ordered everyone behind him to speed up and walk in front of him. The two teams soon gathered in front of another big tree.
"Mr. Mu, Miss Xu." Qin Yun stood in front of Mu Ci and said respectfully.
Mu Ci nodded slightly and said hello, then looked at Qin Yun and explained in a deep voice: "You happened to be here, Qiao Qiao's ankle was sprained. Let's go down the mountain first, and then go directly to the hospital."
"Yes, Mr. Mu."
