Qishi, located in the mountains on the outskirts of the city.
While the spider Worm was fighting with Su Qian and Zheng Zhongshan and couldn't pay attention to them, Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng quietly escaped through the tunnel that Yu Li had dug earlier.
This tunnel extended deep into the Qiqihar Mountains, allowing the two to successfully escape the enemy's sight.
When they emerged from the end of the cave, they were already in the deep mountains on the outskirts of Qiqihar.
This place is sparsely populated, surrounded by dense forests and rugged mountain paths.
Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng dared not linger for too long, fearing that the enemy would catch up with them.
So they decided to keep going and find a safe place.
The two proceeded cautiously, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings.
They tried to avoid leaving any traces so as not to be tracked by the enemy.
After a period of effort, they finally left the mountainous area and entered a relatively flat region.
Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng stopped in a secluded corner and observed their surroundings.
They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming there was no danger.
At this moment, they realized that they had left the city and arrived at the place where the four of them had agreed to meet, a small county under the jurisdiction of Qiqihar City—Jing County.
To ensure their safety, Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng decided to find a place to rest first.
They strolled along the streets, looking for a suitable place to stay.
Finally, they found a small hotel located next to the Jingxian Market.
Although the hotel is not large, it is relatively quiet and far from the city center, making it a good place for them to temporarily escape the limelight.
Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng entered the hotel and asked the owner for a room.
After entering the room, they quickly closed the doors and windows and checked the room for anything unusual.
After confirming that everything was normal, Chen Yexi took out her phone from her backpack and dialed Yu Li's number.
The call was quickly connected, and Yu Li told them that he was at the clinic treating Xu Jie's wounds and would be there to meet them soon.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng finally felt some relief. After all, the four of them had been through so much together and had developed a deep bond.
They don't want to see any of them fall behind.
While waiting for Yu Li and Xu Jie to return, Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng sat in the room in silence, both deep in thought.
Time passed slowly, and after about twenty-five minutes, a soft knock finally came at the door.
Chen Yexi and Xu Jie exchanged a glance, then stood up, walked to the door, and after confirming through the peephole that the visitors were indeed Yu Li and Xu Jie, they slowly opened the door.
Yu Li led Xu Jie into the room, his face full of joy and excitement.
As soon as he entered the room, he hugged Chen Yexi and Yu Sheng tightly, his eyes glistening with tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank goodness! You two are both alright! You have no idea how worried Xu Jie and I were about you after we escaped here! We were constantly thinking about whether you were safe."
"Alright, alright, we're back now, aren't we? Don't get so excited, it's like we're not back at all." Yu Sheng gently patted Yu Li's back, comforting him.
Chen Yexi also struggled to break free from Yu Li's embrace, turned to look at Xu Jie standing to the side, and asked with concern, "How are you, Xiao Jie? How are your injuries? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng also turned his gaze to Xu Jie, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xu Jie lowered her head and replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen. My injuries are not serious; they are just some superficial wounds."
"Just apply some medicine and rest for a bit, and you'll be fine," she said in a low voice.
Hearing Xu Jie's answer, Chen Yexi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that this incident had happened too suddenly, and if it weren't for Lady Luck's blessing, they would probably all be in mortal danger.
Yu Sheng said with emotion, "Yes, this was really too thrilling."
"If we hadn't been lucky, we might be dead there by now." His face was pale, clearly not yet fully recovered from the tense atmosphere of the escape.
Chen Yexi nodded in agreement, still filled with apprehension as he recalled the scene on the wasteland battlefield.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xu Jie burst into tears, her voice trembling as she said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so willful and accidentally revealed my whereabouts, the brothers wouldn't have been in such a predicament while trying to save me." She wiped away her tears as she cried, but new tears kept welling up.
Yu Sheng was completely at a loss when he saw this scene. He was filled with remorse and never expected that his casual remark would make Xu Jie so sad and guilty.
He looked at Chen Yexi and Yu Li with pleading eyes, hoping they could offer some advice or help.
Upon seeing Yu Sheng's gaze, Yu Li immediately shook his head, indicating that he was also powerless to help.
Then, the two of them turned their gaze to Chen Yexi, hoping that he could come up with a way to comfort Xu Jie.
Seeing this, Chen Yexi could only smile helplessly.
Then, he slowly walked up to Xu Jie, who was still crying, gently reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said softly, "Okay, Xiao Jie, don't cry. We didn't mean to blame you."
Chen Yexi continued to comfort her, "We've been through so much together, we already consider you our own sister."
No matter what happens, we will support each other and face it together.
So please don't blame yourself; it's not your fault.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jie gradually stopped crying. She gently sniffed her beautiful nose, raised her head, and asked with a sob, "Really? You really won't blame me?"
Just as Chen Yexi was about to speak, Yu Sheng suddenly rushed up and said impatiently, "Of course, Sister Xu Jie, it's all true! Brother Yu was just expressing his feelings just now."
Then, Yu Sheng excitedly added, "Actually, I've always dreamed of having a well-behaved and adorable little sister, but unfortunately, my parents only gave me a naughty little brother. When I was little, I was so annoyed taking care of him."
"Now that I finally have such a lovely little sister like you, I'm overjoyed. How could I bear to blame you?" Yu Sheng said, while glancing at Yu Li with a disdainful look.
Upon hearing this, Yu Li hurriedly stood up and retorted, "Hey! I was wondering why I was dragged into this all of a sudden?"
The past is the past, the present is the present, and I've become very reliable now, okay!
After saying that, Yu Li strode towards Yu Sheng, looking as if he was determined to get an explanation, as if he would stay there all day unless Yu Sheng gave him a satisfactory answer.
