Qi Yang sighed secretly, knowing that Ling'er was still worried about his injury after all.

In fact, he could just take Ling'er to walk faster. At this time, the two of them are walking forward side by side. If one of them speeds up the pace, the other will follow subconsciously. It is difficult for Ling'er, who is focused on exploring the front, to catch up.

Pay attention to whether the people around you are secretly speeding up their pace.

But Qi Yang has to take care of the injury on Ling'er's foot. If he takes Ling'er too fast, he will definitely hurt Ling'er. Only Ling'er can move forward independently, can he "act according to his ability" and not be hurt.

.

Fortunately, he had just confirmed that Ling'er's injuries were fine, so he could exercise some caution at this time.

Therefore, Qi Yang took advantage of every time Ling'er took a big step forward impatiently and followed closely, shortening the distance between them and quietly speeding up the pace of their progress.

Naturally, Ling'er didn't know anything about this. But she had injuries on her feet after all. After walking so fast for a while, she would inevitably feel discomfort in her ankles.

Qi Yang, who had been paying attention to Ling'er's condition, noticed it immediately. He quickly stopped and asked with concern: "Does your foot hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all, just a little sore and numb." Ling'er said, reaching out to hold Brother Yang's right arm, lifting his left foot, and lightly moving his ankle.

Seeing Ling'er's subconscious act of intimacy, Qi Yang's heart softened completely, and he couldn't help but soften his voice: "Do you want to take a rest?"

Hearing this, Ling'er's heart jumped wildly. Brother Yang's voice was originally deep and pleasant, but now it was so pleasant that she couldn't even care about the pain in her feet.

Noticing that Ling'er's little face suddenly turned red, Qi Yang asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Such a gentle voice again! Brother Yang seemed completely unaware of how lethal his words were. Ling'er felt that if he continued like this, his heart would jump out of his throat.

"It's okay! It's okay! No need to rest. Let's go quickly!" After saying that, Ling'er walked forward as if running away, leaving Qi Yang confused.

Qi Yang had no idea what had happened to Ling'er. Judging from Ling'er's reaction, he seemed to be frightened. He looked around, could it be that the dimly lit and somewhat eerie forest made Ling'er uneasy?

Ling'er walked a few steps quickly and then slowed down. Her foot injury was fine, but she couldn't ignore Brother Yang's injury.

Qi Yang quickly followed.

Afraid of losing her composure again in front of Brother Yang, Ling'er spoke before Brother Yang could speak: "Didn't you say we're almost there? We've walked a long way, why haven't we arrived yet?"

After Ling'er finished speaking, she looked back. This look was incredible and shocked her. They had actually walked such a long way in such a short time!

Qi Yang was worried that Ling'er would find clues, so he quickly diverted her attention: "We'll be there soon. Can you see the fork in the road ahead?"

When Ling'er heard this, she really didn't care to investigate what happened before. She looked in the direction pointed by Brother Yang, and there was indeed a fork in the road hidden in the vast whiteness. It was difficult to find it without looking carefully.

"It turns out there is a fork in the road ahead! Where does it lead to?" Ling'er asked curiously.

At this time, Qi Yang no longer needed to be mysterious and answered her: "The steep slope is followed by the cliff."

Ling'er was startled and asked again: "You mean, that is a dead end?"
