It was dawn, and after about forty minutes of sleep, Su Jian woke up, got up and stretched, and saw two elder brothers talking quietly in the distance.
"Little girl, wake up and have a drink of water. Morning dew is all clean." An older brother smiled honestly.
Neither of them dared to look down on Su Jian now. She had a calmness and decisiveness that others her age did not have. She was just like the calm young man in the mountains. She was someone who would do great things at first glance.
"Girl, I have something to tell you. We just looked in the direction and we may have gone astray."
"We'll go explore the road ahead later. If we can't get through, we'll have to go back the way we came."
"About how far off?"
"Go out two miles more."
The two miles on the mountain road are much more difficult than those on the plains.
Even an old lady can walk two miles on the plains in half an hour, but not in the mountains, which takes at least one to two hours.
"I'll go over there and have a look."
She stood on a hillside and released her powers. The thermal imaging showed that there were no traces of human activity except for a few small animals looking for food within 500 meters. However, there was a road, but it was just more difficult to walk.
Soon the two eldest brothers came back, and Li Qingfang also woke up. She washed the mud off her face with water and looked at everyone embarrassedly.
"Hey, this girl is so pretty. She scared me yesterday. I thought a wild monkey would crawl in."
Li Qingfang blushed, "It's funny, it's funny."
The eldest brother stopped his smile and said seriously, "The road ahead is too steep. What we want is to go back the way we came."
Su Jian didn't insist this time. She couldn't ignore Li Qingfang's safety just because she wanted to save Zhongli.
"How steep is it?" Realizing that everyone might be taking care of themselves, Li Qingfang asked hurriedly.
"Sister, let's go back. There is sun today, so the road will be easier."
"No, I'll feel bad if you do this. Sister, have you looked at the road? Can you go?"
Su Jian thought for a moment and said, "If you are careful, you can go."
The two men were surprised, "Have you gone to see the road too?"
Su Jian pointed to the hillside, "You can see it clearly over there."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Okay, one of us will be in front and the other will protect you from behind. As long as you are careful, there will be no problem, and we will arrive half an hour earlier than expected."
Following Su Jian's example, they tied their trousers into their socks, tightened their shoelaces and clothes, and the four of them got into the dense woods.
"I'm walking in front, you have to follow me. Don't step on the places I say you shouldn't step on."
Seeing her serious expression, the two grown men did not dare to say a word.
She has superpowers, but none of them do. If something goes wrong, she can't bear the responsibility.
"Sister, if you are tired, just tell me and we will stop to rest, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
Unconsciously, the three of them all focused on Su Jian and did what she said without daring to be perfunctory.
There was a steep stone wall, and she had to cling to it tightly and move her feet little by little. Li Qingfang took a deep breath and kept cheering herself up in her heart.
The eldest brother who was walking behind her was surprised to find that Su Jian was already standing on the opposite side, looking back at them.
Emma, let alone walking alone at night, she has no problem, even going into the mountains by herself has no problem, they are really worrying in vain.
After finally walking through the most difficult section of the road, Su Jian suddenly stopped again and stared at something motionless.
"What, what's wrong? Is it a wild boar again?" Li Qingfang's legs became weak and she stammered.
