Chapter 182: Protection
"Hold down these branches, climb on the treetop, and then ascend to the top of the wall. Understand?" Fan Wenxuan instructed Chu Jinzhou, pointing up at the wall.
"Hmm," Chu Jinzhou responded, swallowing nervously.
He'd never climbed trees and walls before, but now that Mr. Fan had ordered it, and considering the relatively short distance from this point of the branches to the top of the wall, Chu Jinzhou took a deep breath, slowly ascended the tree.
The tung tree was tall and lush. As Chu Jinzhou climbed past the foliage, he felt his face being scratched by the leaves. The itchy sensation made him want to sneeze, but he restrained himself to avoid attracting attention, continuing to climb as quietly as possible.
As he moved closer to the treetop, the branches became thinner and swayed more forcefully. Chu Jinzhou tensed his nerves, carefully moving bit by bit. It was only when his hands and feet reached the top of the wall that he took a big breath of relief.
