Crown Jewels

Chapter 24 Subtle Stalemate

When Song Yan saw the torn bloody cloth on Gu Baozhu's right leg, his eyes finally stopped.

Song Yan threw aside the wooden stick that was originally held in his hand and stuck into the pit.

Meeting Gu Baozhu's bewildered gaze, Song Yan took a deep look at her and said:

"I'll go find something first, you can wait for me here at ease."

As soon as the words fell, Song Yan saw the panic in Gu Baozhu's eyes, and the uneasiness she deliberately concealed.

Gu Baozhu just pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.

"Take—"

Song Yan hesitated for a moment, and shook the dagger at his waist.

Then, under Gu Baozhu's gaze, he decisively unsheathed the dagger from his waist, knelt down and was about to hand it to her.

"Ok?"

Gu Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he stood on tiptoe and finally took the dagger from Song Yan's hand.

The dagger was cold to the touch, and it was still a little heavy in the hand.

After walking two steps with long legs, Song Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, looked hesitantly for a moment, and said for a while.

"you……"

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."

Before leaving, Song Yan raised his chin, pointed to the dagger in Gu Baozhu's hand, and added a sentence in a concise manner.

"Use it for self-defense first!"

Gu Baozhu looked at Song Yan's disappearing back, clenched the dagger with both hands, and pressed it against his chest.

The tentacles were obviously cold, but the uneasiness and uneasiness in her heart seemed to be calmed down instantly.

The time was shorter than Gu Baozhu expected.

After a while, Song Yan appeared in her sight again.

He was pinching the vine in his hand, dancing his fingers as if he was knotting it, and finally pulled it tentatively.

He first wrapped one end of the vine around the tree in front of the pit a few times.

Afterwards, Song Yan led the other end into the pit, and jumped down easily along the vines.

In addition to the wooden piles in the pit, there is not much room to step down.

As soon as Song Yan came down, Gu Baozhu felt that the space was even more congested, as if the air was thinner.

Song Yan stood firm, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Gu Baozhu's slightly trembling eyelash feathers, and...

Under the corners of those upturned eyes are traces of tears.

At this time, she was a little different from the lazy and comfortable girl at the gate of the academy.

Looking around, he saw half of the golden hairpin on the dirt wall, and... the wriggling earthworms that hadn't left yet.

Song Yan was silent, then turned to look at Gu Baozhu.

I saw that her lips were still bright red, and even the skin behind her ears was stained red.

Seeing Song Yan looking over, Gu Baozhu pursed his lips and turned his face away. He inexplicably felt that because he was only an earthworm, he lost the demeanor of a princess, and it was a bit embarrassing.

He simply didn't bother to look at him.

Looking away, seeing that Gu Baozhu's originally gorgeous lips were a little dry at the moment, Song Yan untied the water bottle hanging from his waist and handed it to her.

"I saw that bay red horse on the road, so I took it with me."

This can be regarded as an indirect explanation of why he appeared here.

Only then did Gu Baozhu turn around, seeing her water bottle, her eyes were filled with surprise.

She licked her dry lips without being pretentious, took it directly and took two gulps.

The cool honey water quenches her thirst and dryness.

While Gu Baozhu was drinking water, Song Yan turned around and quickly pulled out the golden hairpin on the wall.

Then, he grabbed the damp soil from the ground, kneaded it into balls with both hands, and silently stuffed the balls of soil into the round hole.

The dark, wriggling figure was quickly covered up.

Looking at the golden hairpin in his hand, Song Yan thought for a while, then tore off a piece of cloth from his body.

Then use a cloth to carefully wipe off the dirt on the golden hairpin.

After the golden hairpin regained its original brilliance, he turned around and wanted to hand the golden hairpin back to Gu Baozhu.

Gu Baozhu looked at the golden hairpin that Song Yan handed over, his back was slightly stiff.

For a long time, she seemed to be frozen, and she didn't reach out to take it.

Song Yan saw no one responded for a long time, and then lowered his eyes to look at her.

Only then did I realize that although Gu Baozhu didn't speak, her whole body was silently rejecting it.

Even the fundus of the eyes clearly showed reluctance.

Clearness appeared in his eyes, Song Yan glanced at the golden hairpin in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and finally let her go mercifully.

"That……"

Song Yanyang raised the golden hairpin in his hand, feeling amused in his heart.

"I'll keep it for you first, and return it to you after I leave."

Gu Baozhu hurriedly agreed, and then pretended to cough, trying to regain the lost momentum, and quickly changed the subject after a while.

"Then, Song Yan, how do we get out?"

More precisely, how to take her out.

Relying on Song Yan's ability, he got down so easily just now, and now it's not difficult to go up.

But the problem is.

And here she is.

Song Yan fell into deep thought.

If it was Song Leyi or Fu Sinian who fell into this situation, Song Yan would carry them up without hesitation at all.

but……

Gu Baozhu is a woman, not his sister, so he naturally needs to be more cautious.

After thinking about it, Song Yan tentatively asked, "If not—"

"wait for me here."

"I'll go back to the academy and send them a letter!"

"Or, I'll go back and get some tools. Within an hour, there should be someone—"

Before Song Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a half-time tough and half-stiff attitude.

"no!"

What kind of messed up method is this? He went back to call someone, could it be possible that he really made himself wait until dark?
At that time, it is not certain whether he can wait for this person.

However, Song Yan was kind after all.

Gu Baozhu seemed to feel that she was responding a little fiercely, so she lowered her head.

After a while, he slightly lifted his chin and raised his eyes to look at him, and explained in a soft and embarrassing voice:

"I...I don't want to be here alone."

In this situation, if she really lets Song Yan go, if something happens suddenly after he leaves, what will she do?
Having experienced the fear she faced alone before, Gu Baozhu felt that she would never allow Song Yan to leave herself here alone.

In the barren mountains and wild mountains, what should we do if something happens?
Song Yan's eyes fell on her tight lips, just like her somewhat tough attitude.

But it was precisely because of this that Song Yan was in a bit of trouble!

Gu Baozhu's leg was injured, so she couldn't be expected to climb up by herself.

Although he was capable, he didn't care about her weight.

But men and women can't give and take clearly!
Tianjia etiquette has always been strict.

Could it be... Is it really possible for him to hug her or carry her up?
Thinking of these two possibilities, Song Yan rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

Thinking of Gu Baozhu's attitude of rejecting his proposal, Song Yan suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his heart.

Could it be that she... wanted to take advantage of him while taking advantage of her own danger?

Song Yan, who hadn't thought of a solution, could only ask dryly when he met Gu Baozhu's eyes:
"Are you hungry?"

Gu Baozhu was slightly taken aback, thinking he was hungry.

She hastily reached out to touch it, untied the purse tied around her waist, and took out the deformed cake that was squeezed inside.

He generously took out a piece and handed it directly to Song Yan.

"you eat!"

Looking at the deformed, sweet pastry, Song Yan's eyes flashed with apprehension, and he subconsciously refused.

　Sisters, please collect and recommend!

　　New book please take care of me woo woo woo
