Yang Guang’s thought was that if he let go of Xu Ling’s hand, she would just stand there and wait. She wouldn’t follow him.

Unexpectedly, when he caught up with Mr. Sun, he heard rustling sounds behind him. He turned around and saw that Xu Ling had also followed him!

“Aren’t you adding to the trouble? I can’t take care of the two of you!” Yang Guang said anxiously.

“It’s okay. I’ll take care of myself. With one more person, you guys have one more helper!”

Xu Ling said and pointed to the front. “Look, the sheep are there!”

Following the direction of her finger, Yang Guang saw a few sheep.

The forest fire was aggressive, and the sheep had been scattered. Their desire to survive had caused them to run around the fire. Now, they had run to the edge of the fire.

Sun Wannian saw his sheep and immediately rushed over without caring about anything else.

Yang Guang was just about to catch up when he stopped in his footsteps. He turned around and said to Xu Ling, “Don’t move. I’ll go with him to drive the sheep. Listen to me!”

After saying that, he quickly chased after them, leaving Xu Ling standing alone in the valley.

Hearing his words, Xu Ling stopped and didn’t follow him.

However, as she watched Yang Guang leave, she still shouted, “Be careful!”

“Got it!”

After saying that, Yang Guang followed Sun Wannian into the forest.

The fire on the left side of the hillside was raging. It had the momentum of burning into the valley. If the bushes and weeds in the valley were ignited, it would connect to the right side of the hillside.

This way, it would be difficult for Yang Guang and Sun Wannian to come out.

After seeing the situation clearly, Xu Ling was anxious. At the same time, she was secretly praying that the two of them were okay.

After about ten minutes, a few sheep ran out of the forest.

Soon, one after another, sheep came out, but there was no sign of Mr. Sun and Yang Guang.

Xu Ling was anxious because the fire on the left side had reached the bottom of the valley!

In her anxiety, she also forgot Yang Guang’s warning and quickly rushed into the forest!

In the end, she ran into Sun Wannian.

There were some black marks on the old man’s face. It was obvious that he had been burned.

Seeing that he was alone, Xu Ling hurriedly asked, “Where’s Yang Guang?”

“He told me to come out first. There were two sheep that were scared and ran into the mountain!” Sun Wannian said.

Xu Ling was speechless and stomped her feet in anger. Was Yang Guang stupid? Which was more important, human life or a sheep’s life?

She couldn’t vent her anger on Mr. Sun, so she could only say, “You can go out first and drive the sheep far away. I’ll go get him!”

“Be careful!”

Sun Wannian shouted and quickly went to chase the sheep.

Xu Ling rushed into the forest and shouted Yang Guang’s name as she ran. She felt extremely nervous.

She suddenly realized that if something happened to Yang Guang in this fire, she definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it!

What kind of feeling was this? She didn’t have the mood to ponder it. Anyway, her heart was filled with Yang Guang. She hoped to find him as soon as possible and know that he was safe and sound!

She hurriedly ran for a while and soon reached the depths of the valley. Then, she finally heard Yang Guang’s voice!

At the same time, a wave of heat came from behind her. Xu Ling turned around and looked. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went soft!

The heat wave was brought by the raging flames. The forest that she passed by earlier was now surrounded by flames!

Seeing this scene, Xu Ling knew that she couldn’t get out. Her legs went soft and she sat on the ground!

In the blink of an eye, footsteps sounded from behind her. Yang Guang, whose face was charred, ran over and grabbed her arm. “Don’t be afraid. Follow me!”

Panic and nervousness made Xu Ling’s legs go soft, so she stumbled a little. Seeing this, Yang Guang directly carried her by the waist and rushed into the valley!

The heat wave was rolling, and thick smoke surrounded them. The flames were about to ignite the trees and weeds in the valley!

If all the trees were set on fire, Xu Ling and Yang Guang would definitely die!

However, after running for a few dozen meters, Xu Ling suddenly heard the cries of the sheep!

She turned around and saw an empty space in front of her. There were a few sheep standing there while bleating.

“Don’t be afraid. We won’t die!” Yang Guang said and carried her to the empty space. Then, they came to a puddle.

This was a small pond formed by a stream in the mountains. There weren’t many trees around it, only a few weeds had surrounded the pond.

The heat wave behind them was getting stronger and stronger. Yang Guang couldn’t be bothered with the few sheep anymore. He carried Xu Ling and jumped into the water!

A cool feeling washed over him, and Xu Ling’s heart instantly relaxed.

But after her entire body was submerged in the water, she couldn’t help but shiver.

“The stream water is cooler. You’ll get used to it later!”

Yang Guang was still carrying her. The two of them were sitting in the water.

Xu Ling didn’t let go either. As she sat in his arms, she felt a sense of assurance.

Then, Yang Guang looked at her and asked, “Why did you follow me in?”

“I was worried about you and wanted to help you chase the sheep out!” Xu Ling said.

” …”

Yang Guang was a little speechless. He sighed and said, “What a silly girl. If not for this pond, I would have been burned to death. You would have been doomed too. Why bother!”

“I…”

Xu Ling bit her lips and lowered her head slightly.

When he saw her like this, Yang Guang’s heart skipped a beat. He smiled and asked, “Don’t tell me you like me?”

“No way!”

Xu Ling quickly blushed. She wriggled her body and realized that she was in his arms, so she hurriedly said, “Put me down quickly. There’s no need to hold me!”

“Oh.”

Yang Guang regretted it inside. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have said that!

After Yang Guang let go of her, the two of them sat in the water and looked at the raging mountain fire not far away. Xu Ling said with lingering fear, “This is bad. Even if the fire is extinguished, we won’t be able to get out easily!”

“At least until all the embers are extinguished.”

Yang Guang nodded and then comforted her, “But don’t worry. There’s food and drink here. We’ll be fine even if we’re trapped for a few days!”

“Huh?”

Xu Ling was stunned and her eyes widened in confusion. “Where can we find food and drink?”

“Drink the water here. If you’re really hungry, why don’t you slaughter a sheep and eat it?!”

Yang Guang smiled and continued, “We helped Mr. Sun save more than ten sheep. It’s not too much to eat one of them, right?”

“Uh, only you can think of such a thing!”

Xu Ling was a little speechless. She thought to herself, ‘Even at this time, he still wasn’t worried at all!’

Yang Guang smiled. “Don’t worry. With me around, nothing will happen to you!”

Xu Ling’s heart warmed when she heard that. She lowered her head and said, “Thank you for saving me again.”

She was talking about when her legs went weak and she fell to the ground while unable to move. If Yang Guang hadn’t run over to pick her up, she would have been engulfed by the flames by now!

Yang Guang smiled and reached out to wipe the black dust off her face. “What are you thanking me for? Isn’t my responsibility to protect you?!”

These words came from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t have any intention of teasing her.

His actions were a little romantically ambiguous, causing Xu Ling to blush again. She bit her lips and lowered her head.

Her appearance was so adorable that Yang Guang suddenly couldn’t help but lean towards her!
