Lu Weixi hadn’t eaten for three days, and the few handfuls of leaves she randomly grabbed, she didn’t even know if they were edible. But even if they were, for soone who hadn’t eaten for three days and felt a faint pain in their stomach from hunger, it was just a drop in the bucket. She was now both tired and hungry, and during the three days, she had only rested for a while when she had been drugged and captured on the first day. For the past two days, even with her eyes closed, she didn’t dare to fall asleep, her mind perpetually in a state of high tension.
Sotis, when pushed to the brink, a person can explode with potential. Even though she was pregnant and couldn’t run fast, she trekked through the mountain trails all night, and despite the difficulties, she kept moving without a word. She had a feeling, from what she heard the kidnappers say on the phone yesterday, that Qin Zhiyou had already arrived, which ant that he had almost dealt with the Hanhai matter and could make ti to rescue her.
Once Qin Zhiyou took action, he would surely mobilize all resources, and there must be soone on the police side for sure. So upon hearing that Qin Zhiyou was coming, she had to find a way to escape first, to gain the initiative.
But no matter how persistent and hardworking she was, after all, she was nearly eight months pregnant and hadn’t eaten for three days. Pregnant won at this stage of pregnancy, not to ntion trekking through mountains and rivers like her, so would even feel tired just strolling around the neighborhood. Even without a baby bump, if she went without food and ran all night, she wouldn’t get far either.
But as dawn began to break, she faintly heard a voice echoing in the valley, which sounded like Qin Zhiyou’s. During her days trapped in the mountains, other than the sound of birds and the kidnappers’ occasional conversations, she had hardly heard any other sounds. The voice was too distant, and she couldn’t distinguish whether it was Qin Zhiyou. But, she thought, anyone calling out here could not possibly be a kidnapper; it must be soone coming to rescue her! Even if not, it was still another living person!
Lu Weixi had crawled all night and was already exhausted. If there was a sofa or a bed right now, she could imdiately lie down and fall asleep in a second. However, after hearing the voice of soone, it was as if adrenaline was injected into her heart, and her condition imdiately improved! Even the speed of moving on all fours beca much faster than before—she wanted to live! Even if not for herself, for the sake of the child in her womb, she had to persist!
Having climbed over a mountain, the sky had already beco a lot brighter. She could still hear that faint voice from over there—starting from a distance, now it was getting clearer.
"Xixi, I’m here, hold on—" That was Qin Zhiyou’s voice, only having shouted all night, his voice was growing hoarser and hoarser. The last trailing sound was like a piece of felt being torn apart, that kind of piercing sadness.
But it was Qin Zhiyou, really Qin Zhiyou. Lu Weixi on this side, even though her heart was pounding like a drum, couldn’t cry; she had been too long without food or water and now she couldn’t cry. Nor did she dare to respond; although the sound seed very close, it was actually still far away. Separated by a mountain, it would take a long ti to run over; she couldn’t take that risk.
The two of them were separated by a mountain, with Qin Zhiyou on the mountain top over there, and she on the mountain slope here, still struggling to climb up. Just to reach the mountain top, to let Qin Zhiyou know her location, she would no longer be afraid!
But the mountain was steep, and as she climbed one step up, she may slip back two or three steps, yet even so, she persisted. Finally—
