"It's so easy for you to say! Normally, we should have gone down the mountain and found a suitable place to rest by now. But now, because of your mistake, we are trapped here. What should we do next? Are we going to spend the night here? My young master can't even put his butt on the ground, how can you let him have a good rest?" Qiao Rong became more and more angry as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose by octaves.

Sui Dan knew that he was in the wrong, and muttered, "Anyway, I can't keep going any further, my legs are going to break from exhaustion." In short, I can't keep going any further, my legs are going to break from exhaustion!" Before he finished speaking, Sui Dan sat down heavily on the ground like a deflated ball, and refused to get up again.

At first, Sui Dan had never thought that he would take the wrong road! When he found out that he had taken the wrong road, he gritted his teeth in annoyance. Originally, he thought that the two kids should be easy to fool, and that he could easily fool them with just a few words. However, what he didn't expect was that the two kids were smarter than each other! Not only did they notice something was wrong before him, but they also acted aggressively and would not let him off for the mistake he had made.

At this moment, Qiao Rong suddenly bent down and said to Cheng Youning, "Young Master, I'll carry you on my back. Let's go together. We will definitely be able to get down the mountain by daybreak."

Perhaps because he was too tired, or perhaps because he trusted Qiao Rong, Cheng Youning nodded and listened to Qiao Rong's suggestion. He raised his legs with great effort and lay on Qiao Rong's back.

But who would have thought that when the two of them had just walked less than ten meters away, Cheng Youning felt a sudden tightening on the back of his neck, and the whole person was grabbed by the collar and pulled off Qiao Rong's back like a chick.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Cheng Youning struggled and shouted angrily.

Sui Dan said helplessly, "What on earth are you two doing? It's already so dark, I can't see anything around me, and it's hard to tell where the water is. If you keep walking around like this, what if you accidentally fall off the cliff?"

He stiffened his neck and retorted: "What do you care! We can go wherever we want!"

"If it weren't for the mission assigned to me by your grandfather, I would take care of you."

"Then just leave it alone."

"Are you angry? Why are you throwing a tantrum? I just took you on the wrong road. Why are you so persistent? Wouldn't it be the same if we continue our journey tomorrow morning? Is this the only night that matters? There are many wild animals on this mountain. If you two are taken away by them, how can I report to your grandfather?"

Cheng Youning said angrily: "How you report back is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, don't be angry! Tomorrow, I will find a shortcut for us and try to get you out of this mountain as soon as possible. Don't blame me for not reminding you. With your current waist and legs, if you keep walking like today, the consequences will be disastrous. You may end up with a lifelong disability!"

When Qiao Rong heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Sui Dan with horror, his voice changing: "Really...will he really become disabled?"

Cheng Youning didn't believe Sui Dan's lies. He said to Qiao Rong, "He was just trying to scare people. It's not that serious. I know my physical condition well. There will be no problem. Qiao Rong, don't worry."

However, Sui Dan refused to give in and continued to threaten Qiao Rong: "Qiao Rong, you have to think carefully. If you really want to serve a disabled young master, then just take him down the mountain. Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers!"

Although Sui Dan's words did not scare Cheng Youning, they did scare Qiao Rong quite a bit. He pulled Cheng Youning and said, "Young Master, why don't we stay here and stay in the mountains for one night."

At this dilemma, Qiao Rong was the first to back out. Cheng Youning saw that there was no need to persist. After all, his buttocks, waist and legs were in unbearable pain. He felt as if he was being pricked by a needle every step he took. It was very difficult. If he wanted to continue on his way, the only person he could rely on was Qiao Rong. However, Qiao Rong had been traveling for a whole afternoon, and he had been supporting himself all the way. It must have been very hard, and he must have been extremely exhausted at this time.

Although he was very reluctant to spend the night in the wilderness, Cheng Youning knew very well that it would not be a wise move to continue on the road. After a fierce ideological struggle, Cheng Youning finally decided to give up the stubbornness and stood still.

At this moment, Sui Dan pulled out a tinder from his pocket, lit it, and began to shine it around. The weak flame flickered in the darkness, and it felt like it could go out at any time. After a while, Sui Dan turned around and said to Qiao Rong and Cheng Youning, "Don't run around, I'll go look around to see if there's a place where we can rest." After saying that, he turned and walked into the darkness.

At this time, Qiao Rong and Cheng Youning had no other choice but to place all their hopes on Sui Dan. In the darkness, time was infinitely stretched. Qiao Rong held Cheng Youning's hand and stood in the darkness waiting silently. Fortunately, not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away. After a while, Sui Dan's familiar figure appeared in front of them.

Surprisingly, Sui Dan seemed quite excited, with an expression of joy that he could not conceal. He ran to Qiao Rong and Cheng Youning in two steps and said happily, "I just found a cave over there, which is just big enough for us to go in and rest!"

Hearing this good news, Qiao Rong and Cheng Youning were relieved, and both of them smiled. Cheng Youning couldn't help asking, "Is it far?"

"It's not far. If we walk at a normal pace, we'll be there in a cup of tea."

However, even this cup of tea made Cheng Youning feel daunted. If he kept moving forward, relying on his tenacious willpower and endurance, he might be able to hold on. But once he stopped for a while, the fatigue and dull pain in his body came over him like a tide, making his legs feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he didn't want to move a step.

At this moment, the considerate Qiao Rong said very considerately: "Young Master, I'll carry you."
