Chapter 43: Changing Faces

The first rule of the general is that when facing the confidence of your subordinates, you must tell them how naive they are without endangering their lives.

 Wei Jingshu smiled calmly and said playfully, "Brother Shiqi, you must protect me."

 Wei Jingshu turned on the light brain display on her wrist and took Wei Shiqi straight to the energy point. She was like a living mobile machine, always able to find the destination accurately. She was also physically strong and did not seem tired after walking for most of the day.

 On the other hand, Wei Shiqi was panting in a short while, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he followed Wei Jingshu dejectedly, his legs shaking.

 Wei Jingshu laughed secretly, as if she did not understand Wei Shiqi's tiredness. She blinked her pure eyes and asked considerately, "Brother Shiqi, do you want to take a break?"

 Wei Shiqi gritted his teeth and was about to say no, but he was so tired that he couldn't say anything. He simply sat on the ground and said, "Okay."

 As he said that, he pointed to the energy stone in Wei Jingshu's hand curiously: "What is this?"

 The energy stone was carefully wiped clean of dirt by Wei Jingshu and wrapped in a small piece of cloth.

 Hearing Wei Shiqi's question, she clenched the energy stone and said calmly: "Sister-in-law said that this can bring good luck."

 What good luck can a few stones bring?

 Wei Shiqi smiled, but did not refute Wei Jingshu's words. Instead, he nodded kindly and cooperated: "Then pick up more."

 As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jingshu stood up. His eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly clasped Wei Jingshu's hand, almost crying: "Rest for a quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour, and we will set off again in a quarter of an hour."

 Wei Jingshu chuckled and pointed to the kettle next to her: "I'll get you some water." Wei Shiqi 's

 face flushed, and he took his hand back embarrassedly. After taking the water handed by Wei Jingshu, he took two gulps and rested for a while.

 The place we were going to this time was far enough that the detector could detect the energy point, but it could not detect the road conditions. Looking at the deep cliff in front of us, the wind was blowing fiercely, scratching her face painfully.

 Wei Jingshu squatted on the edge of the cliff and looked down, her small body swaying in the wind.

 Wei Shiqi was frightened and hurriedly pulled Wei Jingshu away from the edge of the cliff. He patted his chest and said, "If you fall down here, you will definitely die. Be careful--"

 As soon as he finished speaking, the stone under his feet suddenly shook, and the broken stones immediately rushed down the cliff.

 Wei Shiqi's face turned pale with fear, but he stretched out his hand to Wei Jingshu and tried to stop her: "Sister Shu, stay away. Be careful not to fall down."

 Wei Jingshu did not stop. The cliff looked not low. What would happen if she fell down? She had to rescue her quickly.

 "Stop!" Seeing Wei Jingshu's insistence, Wei Shiqi was frightened and sweated. He never thought that the stone under his feet shook more severely during this conversation, and Wei Shiqi tilted more seriously to the outside of the cliff.

 Wei Jingshu glanced at the bottom of the cliff. At a place about one person high, a large flat stone surface protruded. Outside the stone surface, there were strange trees, blocking many stones from falling down.

 Wei Jingshu looked around for a while to make sure that the stone surface and the trees could hold Wei Shiqi, then suddenly she became calm and followed Wei Shiqi's instructions.

 "You step back."

 She stepped back obediently and looked back.

 The sturdy trees not far away were entangled with strong vines. She glanced at the hoe thrown on the edge of the cliff and knew what was going on.

 "Brother Shiqi--"

 "Sister Shu, be obedient and turn your head." Winter was about to come, and the wind was cold, but Wei Shiqi's palms were sweaty. He tried to lean forward and look for an opportunity.

 But he was still afraid that something might happen to him and leave a psychological shadow on the well-behaved girl in front of him, so he could only pretend to be calm and comfort her and let her turn around.

 Wei Jingshu was 100% obedient, but her eyes were already glued to the vines on the tree trunk.

 Wei Shiqi behind her felt a little regretful and a little relieved. After controlling his balance, he gathered his strength and jumped forward. He never thought that the stone under his feet was not as strong as he imagined. With just this movement, the stone took him back.

 Wei Jingshu, who heard the movement, picked up the hoe without looking back and cut a piece of vine.

 "Sister Shu..." Wei Shiqi's surprised voice came from behind. Wei Jingshu's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she walked over with the vines and squatted on the edge of the cliff to take a look.

 Good guy, Wei Shiqi's luck is really not good. She expected that the worst case of Wei Shiqi falling would be at the junction of the ground and the tree. Now, he is lying directly on the tree, swaying in the wind.

 Analyzing the situation, Wei Jingshu had never encountered such a big mistake before, and was puzzled: "Brother Shiqi, how did you fall there?"

 Wei Shiqi was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to turn into.

 He just fell at the intersection of the stone surface and the tree, and he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. A gust of wind blew, and the gravel blinded his eyes. He staggered and fell over. Fortunately, he was quick to hold the tree trunk, otherwise his life would be in danger. Is

 this possible?

 After hearing this, Wei Jingshu concealed her surprise a little, and then looked at the vine in her hand that could only reach the stone surface, and simply threw it away.

 "Hold on tight, I'm here to save you." The scene was unexpected, and Wei Shiqi had to be brought up quickly.

 "Don't bother with anything." Wei Shiqi held onto the tree trunk tightly, "Go to the village and find someone to save me."

 He felt his hands tremble slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and held on: "I can still hold on for a while."

 The flying gravel on the cliff, under the blessing of the strong wind, was as sharp as a knife, easily cutting his skin, leaving blood marks on his face.

 Wei Jingshu turned on the magnification function of the optical brain, and Wei Shiqi's reaction was particularly clear on the screen. Just that trembling little hand, before she could call him back, he fell down.

 She ignored Wei Shiqi's shouting, turned around the edge of the cliff, and found a few vines hanging down. She grabbed them to test their toughness, scanned them again, and made sure they could bear her weight before grabbing the vines and going down.

 The place where the vines hung down was some distance from the stone surface.

 She hung on the vines, wondering how to get through this distance.

 And Wei Shiqi, who was hanging on the tree trunk, suddenly felt a little powerless at this time.

 Although it is not difficult to lie down, the fierce wind on the cliff can be fatal.

 He looked at the cliff helplessly and couldn't help muttering: "Sister Shu, you have to hurry up."

 At this time, a sound came from the side. He looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that Wei Jingshu was swinging on the stone surface with the help of the wind. Seeing Wei Shiqi looking over, she grinned: "Brother Shiqi, I'm here to save you."

 Wei Shiqi was so scared that his face turned pale and his words were not clear: "Didn't I ask you to find someone? Why did you come down?"

 He sighed dejectedly: "That's good, we are all done."

 The teacher said yesterday that with his current ability, he would definitely win the next exam. Now it's good that he can't even save his life, so how can he talk about promotion and wealth.

 Wei Shiqi's thoughts were written on his face.

 Wei Jingshu thought it was funny. How could this person's face change so much? It was more fun than the display screen of her mecha.
