The Ace Bodyguard

The reason why they felt that this valley was very familiar was probably because most of the valleys were the same. For example, in the forest, most of the scenery was the same, with shrubbery forest and weeds everywhere. All of the scenery seemed to be the same.    

    

"Idiot, we seem to have been here before." Lver said in frustration.    

    

In order to confirm whether or not he had been here before, Wang Xiao continued to advance while Lver followed behind him. Pointing to a rock, Lver said to Wang Xiao: "Do you remember how I sat on that rock and waited for you a few days ago?"    

    

Wang Xiao thought back to what happened a few days ago. He remembered that back then he had saved Lver, but not only did Lver not appreciate his help, she had also injured him. After that, because he was a little depressed, Wang Xiao left on his own, planning to travel through this fog alone.    

    

After leaving Lver, Wang Xiao entered a valley. In the valley, he saw Lver once again. At that time, Lver was first standing behind a boulder, and then, he slowly walked over to. Although the fog was extremely dense at that time, that rock was actually extremely similar to that rock.    

    

In order to console himself, Wang Xiao said: "Lver, don't think too much. There are such rocks everywhere, and if you randomly enter a valley, you would be able to see countless of these rocks. So I don't think this piece of rock is the one you spoke of."    

    

"If you don't believe me, we'll go and see. I remember sitting on the rock to rest, I used to pick up a small stone and carve on the rock. " Lver said as she walked towards the boulder, and Wang Xiao followed behind her.    

    

Hopefully, this rock was not the rock Lver was talking about, or else Wang Xiao would not be able to withstand such a blow. If this piece of rock was really the same piece of rock that Lver had a few days ago, then that could only mean one thing. In other words, the route that their family took to travel for a few days only took them to make a huge detour before returning to their starting point.    

    

When they reached the front and back of the rock, Lver pointed at the surface of the rock and said, "Idiot, quickly take a look. The words on top of the rock were carved by me at the beginning."    

    

Looking towards the place where Lver was pointing at, Wang Xiao's expression was also very ugly, because there were indeed lines of words carved on this piece of rock. However, most of the words were only two words, 'Idiot', 'idiot', 'idiot'... Lver had carved at least dozens of words on this piece of rock. When she was sitting on this rock, she must have been feeling extremely depressed. She must have been cursing at him from the bottom of her heart. That was why she had constantly carved these two words onto the rock to vent her inner dissatisfaction.    

    

"I... "I..."    

    

Lver staggered a few steps back, as if she was unable to stand steadily.    

    

Wang Xiao immediately supported Lver. Are you alright? "    

    

Although it was hard to accept such a reality, Wang Xiao could only accept it. The matter had already reached this point, and since a bizarre scene had appeared, Wang Xiao could also accept it. He could only face it, but he simply could not understand, in order to walk for a few days, he had actually returned to the starting point.    

    

F * ck, isn't all the hard work I've put in and all the hard work I've put in for these past few days all for nothing? If an ordinary person suffered such a huge blow, they would have been completely crushed and pale white. However, Wang Xiao still clenched his teeth, not wanting to give up, and did not dare to give up.    

    

From the beginning to the end, Wang Xiao had always held one belief in one thing, and that was that he would definitely be able to leave this place. He had always firmly believed that he definitely wouldn't die here, and definitely wouldn't be trapped here forever. It was precisely because of this belief that Wang Xiao had overcome all of his difficulties during this journey.    

    

No matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, he could not easily give up. He could not be knocked down by those difficulties. If he himself gave up too, then Lver would definitely not be able to persevere on.    

    

Lver's mood was very downcast. After all, she had spent so many days trekking through mountains and rivers, climbing mountains and climbing mountains. She had paid so much effort, but in the end, it was all for naught. Most importantly, Lver seemed to have given up all hope.    

    

"Idiot, will we never get out of here?" Lver asked in grief.    

    

If she could never get out of here, she would never see her mother again. Lver finally had the ability to take care of her mother and prevent her mother from suffering too much, so she did not want to be trapped here forever.    

    

"Lver. Do not be discouraged. No matter what happens, you must believe in yourself. You must believe that you can leave this place alive. " Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

Lver said, "But after walking painstakingly for a few days, we actually returned to the starting point, to our original position.    

    

He never thought that Lver would actually ask such a question. He never thought that she would actually be so superstitious. Even in this era, there were still people who believed in superstitions.    

    

"Nope." Wang Xiao shook his head.    

    

"Why?" Lver asked.    

    

Because she had lost her backbone, Lver could only rely on Wang Xiao for everything, and could only listen to him.    

    

Wang Xiao said, "Because what you said are all superstitions. There is no such thing as walls or ghosts."    

    

"In that case, why did we take a long walk and then return to the starting point?" Lver continued to ask.    

    

Wang Xiao said: "The reason is very simple, it is definitely because there are thousands of ravines here, forests and thorns are everywhere, and we are not able to walk in a straight line. So on the road that we have traveled for a few days, we have actually taken a very large detour, and then, we have returned to the starting point."    

    

Actually, even Wang Xiao himself did not believe this explanation. Was it really because of that? Was it really because of the endless gullies and ravines here? Was it really because of the forests, trees, weeds, and other things that they could not walk in a straight line?    

    

Actually, even Wang Xiao himself did not believe in this reason, as it was not convincing enough.    

    

"Really?" Lver asked.    

    

"Please believe me, I will never lie to you." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

With a sorrowful look at the valley, Lver said depressingly: "Perhaps what you said makes sense."    

    

"Lver..."    

    

Wang Xiao seemed to want to say something, but before he could finish, Lver said, "Idiot, you don't need to say anything else. I want to be alone for a while, my heart is in chaos."    

    

"I'll accompany you." Wang Xiao was not at ease to let Lver walk in this forest alone. It was because the forest was very dangerous and filled with danger and strangeness. The Vicious Beast he had encountered before was extremely powerful, but when Wang Xiao joined hands with Lver, he was able to kill it as well.    

    

However, the most dangerous thing Wang Xiao and his group were most powerless against was not the Vicious Beast, but the vast and boundless Misty Forest that they were in. After walking for a few days, they finally returned to their original starting line. This was what Wang Xiao and Lver were most in pain about, as well as being powerless to help them.    

    

"Idiot, don't worry. I won't walk out of this valley alone. Thank you. Thank you for taking care of me and for your help these past few days." Lver expressed her gratitude.    

    

From the time he had met Lver until now, this was the first time Wang Xiao had heard her sincerely thanking him. In the past few days, the two of them travelled through the forest, and along the way, Wang Xiao gave Lver a lot of help. She took care of her time and time again, but even so, she did not receive a single word of sincere gratitude from Lver.    

    

But now, Lver was actually thanking him from the bottom of his heart, thanking him. Wang Xiao could feel the change in Lver's state of mind and her emotions. Perhaps Lver felt that it was impossible to leave this region, or perhaps she felt that the chances of surviving the ordeal were extremely slim. Hence, she gave up all hope. She was afraid that if she died here, she would never have the chance to say these words of thanks again.    

    

"Lver, you don't have to thank me. Actually, I still have to thank you, and thank you for accompanying me for these past few days. If it wasn't for you, I would have probably broken down mentally long ago." Wang Xiao said to Lver.    

    

Lowering her head, Lver turned and left.    

    

Initially, he had wanted to go with her, but after thinking about it, Wang Xiao gave up. He knew that perhaps Lver needed some peace and quiet by himself. Since that was the case, don't disturb her and just let her be quiet by herself.    

    

Lver's character was very strong, perhaps after being alone and quiet for a bit, she would be able to think things through. Wang Xiao still needed Lver, still needed her encouragement, and still needed her company. Only when the two of them mutually encourage each other, give each other courage, and the belief to live on, would they be able to finally leave this place.    

    

There was once a story about a biologist who brought a few students to practice virgin forest. However, due to an accident, the communication device was damaged, and the travel tool was also broken. Within the virgin forest, there were bones everywhere, and no one knew how many people died there. The Professor had lost his strength and was on the verge of leaving the world as a result of his fall. Looking at the few young students in front of him, the professor was very worried. He was already old and it was one thing to be desperate, but his students were still young.    

    

Therefore, the professor passed a box to these students and told them that there were priceless items inside. After he died, he asked his students to take this box to a good friend of his, who would definitely give them a lot of money. Firstly, he couldn't open the box on his own, and he couldn't damage the lock on the outside of the box. Secondly, he had to make sure that all of these students were alive to meet that good friend of his.
