In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

The night was so thick that it could not be dissolved, like a ball of sticky ink, covering the entire village tightly.

He Yushui and Wang Jianguo hid behind the farm tool shed. Their figures were hidden in the darkness. Only the sound of each other's breathing could be clearly heard in this small space.

Seeing that Wang Jianguo was speechless and couldn't utter a word for a long time, He Yushui raised his chin slightly, with a hint of pride and full of determination in his eyes.

She took a small step forward, almost sticking to Wang Jianguo, raised her head, stared straight at him, and continued:

"Brother Jianguo, don't think I don't know. I've seen through your little tricks a long time ago."

As she spoke, she pointed to the dark mountains in the distance.

"You must be going to sneak into the mountains. I guessed it a long time ago, so I followed you secretly."

He Yushui paused, recalling his previous speculations, and his tone became more certain.

In the evening, she found that Wang Jianguo was a little absent-minded. While eating, his eyes always drifted out the window, looking towards the mountains thoughtfully.

After everyone went back to the room to rest, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep, always wondering if Wang Jianguo would do something impulsive.

Sure enough, when she heard a slight noise coming from Wang Jianguo's room, she quietly got up, followed behind, and saw this scene.

"I do not care,"

He Yushui held Wang Jianguo's arms tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly break free and run away.

"I can't let you go into the mountains alone. It's too dangerous. You know, it's winter, and the wild animals in the mountains are starving. If we run into one, our lives will be in danger."

"Besides, the terrain in the mountains is complicated. If we get lost, there will be no help from heaven or earth. What will we do then?"

When she thought of those potential dangers, He Yushui's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, but she bit her lips stubbornly to prevent the tears from falling.

"I want to go with you,"

He Yushui's tone left no room for doubt. She seemed to have mustered up all her courage and announced loudly.

"If you don't take me with you, I will wake up Brother Shuzhuo and none of us will go."

She knew in her heart that only by using this method to "threaten" Wang Jianguo could she make him compromise.

After all, if Zhao Shuzhuo was really woken up, given his temper, not only would Wang Jianguo not be able to enter the mountain, he might even scold them severely.

Wang Jianguo felt helpless and touched when he heard what He Yushui said. He knew that this girl was really doing this for his own good, but he really didn't want her to be in danger.

Looking at He Yushui's determined eyes, Wang Jianguo fell into a dilemma, his brows twisted into a deep "川" shape, not knowing what to do.

The night is dark, as if a huge black curtain has tightly enveloped the entire village. Everything is silent, only the cold wind occasionally blows through the treetops, making a slight rustling sound, as if whispering quietly in this silent night.

Wang Jianguo stared at He Yushui beside him in the dim moonlight. Her small figure seemed even more fragile in the darkness, but her eyes were extremely firm, like a twinkling cold star in the night sky, shining brightly.

Listening to He Yushui's words, which seemed threatening but were actually full of concern, Wang Jianguo felt a warm feeling in his heart, but at the same time, his worry about her safety quickly flooded his heart like a tide.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the dark mountains that looked like a mysterious giant beast lurking there. He sighed heavily and then shook his head helplessly. The movement was slow and heavy, as if carrying endless worries.

Wang Jianguo turned his head and looked at He Yushui again, and said to her earnestly:

"Silly girl, do you know how dangerous this mountain is? It's winter now, food is scarce, and the beasts are all hungry and feral."

"Blind bears can easily overturn boulders and break trees to fill their stomachs; wild wolves move in packs and are agile. Once they set their sights on prey, they will launch a frenzy of hunting."

"And there's that secretive mountain cat, hiding in the dark, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. If you go into the mountains and really run into danger, it won't help if you follow them. What can you do?"

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness, and every word seemed to be a warning bell ringing in this cold night.

When He Yushui heard this, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, which was the unwillingness and stubbornness after being looked down upon.

She straightened her back, clenched her fists, raised her chin slightly, and said with fighting spirit burning in her eyes:

"Of course I am useful. Have you forgotten who rescued you from the courtyard? If it weren't for me, would you still be able to stand here?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the thrilling scene instantly emerged in Wang Jianguo's mind.

At that time, the courtyard was engulfed in flames and chaos. People were panicking and running around in the sea of ​​fire.

Wang Jianguo was trapped in a corner. The thick smoke almost suffocated him and the fire was about to engulf him.

At this critical moment, He Yushui was like a fearless female warrior, ignoring the danger and shuttling through the sea of ​​fire and thick smoke.

Relying on his familiarity with the layout of the courtyard, he accurately found Wang Jianguo, dragged him all the way, and finally escaped.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo's eyes flashed with emotion, but he still gritted his teeth and tried to persuade He Yushui again:

"That time it was all thanks to you, but things are different now. The dangers in the mountains are far more than an assassination. You..."

Before Wang Jianguo could finish his words, He Yushui interrupted him:

"I don't care. I can't just watch you go on an adventure alone. If you don't take me with you, I'll do as I say!"

Her eyes became more determined and unquestionable, as if she had made up her mind and no one could change it.

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui and was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he knew that the mountains were full of dangers and he couldn't bear to let He Yushui take risks.

On the other hand, he knew well the girl's stubborn temper. Once she made up her mind, no one could pull her back even with ten oxen.

At this moment, he could only silently figure out in his heart how to ensure He Yushui's safety while successfully achieving his goal of going into the mountains.

Wang Jianguo listened to He Yushui's firm and unquestionable words, feeling helpless and unable to refute them for a moment. He frowned slightly, his eyes lingered on He Yushui's stubborn face for a moment, and finally compromised.

He knew very well that once this girl made up her mind, even eight horses could not pull her back. Any further unnecessary argument at this moment would only increase the risk of being exposed and delay the opportunity to enter the mountain.
