Chapter 77 Ms. He’s Demeanor

There was danger! Li Mu quickly reacted and jumped off the horse immediately. Then he quickly grabbed hold of He Xiaoyu, carried her down from the horse, and pressed her to the ground.

He Xiaoyu was dumbfounded when Li Mu pressed her under his body, which made her entire body feel weak.

If he was going to force himself on her, what should she do? He Xiaoyu simply closed her eyes and just let him do whatever he wanted.

“Xiaoyu, there is a huge rock in front. Let’s go and hide behind it.”

“Okay, then you get up first. You are pressing on me.”

“We can’t get up. Let’s crawl over!”

Crawled over? What kind of fetish was this? Why did they need to crawl over? Can’t they just walk over and lie down again?

Li Mu took the lead and crawled over. After hesitating for a moment, He Xiaoyu turned over and crawled behind the huge rock with Li Mu. Turning her head, she said shyly, “Li Mu, let’s go over there. It’s easy to be seen by someone here.”

“Are you crazy?” Li Mu cursed softly. “Do you want to get yourself killed? Here!”

“Okay, then please be gentle with me. This is my first time.”

“It’s also my first time to be assassinated! F**k!”

Li Mu’s words made He Xiaoyu despise him. She had been waiting for him for so long, and there had been so many opportunities. Nevertheless, he would rather force himself on her in the wild!

Could it be that it was more exhilarating to cheat in front of his wife?

Seeing that there was no movement from Li Mu after waiting for a while, she turned and found that Li Mu was sneaking a peek from behind the huge rock.

Judging from his posture and attitude, it didn’t seem like he was about to do bad things. Could it be that she had misunderstood him?

“Li Mu, what are you looking at?” He Xiaoyu asked, somewhat disappointed.

“Looking for the killer. He must be hiding in that row of bushes.” Li Mu whispered.

A killer? What did he mean? He Xiaoyu couldn’t react for a moment. She turned over and wanted to sit upright, but Li Mu pressed her to the ground and said, “What are you doing? Don’t you want to live anymore!”

“Li Mu, what are you talking about? What’s wrong with you?”

Li Mu pointed to the large tree behind him and said nervously, “Someone shot us with an arrow. Look, that arrow is still on that tree.”

He Xiaoyu looked toward the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a sharp arrow stuck deep into the tree.

“Ah!” He Xiaoyu cried out in fear, then hugged Li Mu tightly, and slid into his embrace. “Li Mu, I’m scared!”

“Don’t be scared. It’s very safe here. He can’t hurt us here. Xiaoyu, quickly call the police!”

He Xiaoyu didn’t move, refusing to leave Li Mu’s embrace.

Li Mu didn’t blame her as he thought that He Xiaoyu had a real scare. So, he fished out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.

He tried to call the police twice, but couldn’t get through. After taking a closer look, he realized that there was no signal at all.

Upon realizing that, Li Mu cursed softly and then said to He Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, where’s your mobile phone? My lousy phone has no signal. You try to call the police with your phone.”

“It’s in my pocket. Find it yourself!” He Xiaoyu was still unwilling to let go of him. Instead, she held Li Mu more tightly in her arms and muttered silently in her heart, “Dear killer, please hold on for a little longer. Don’t run away so soon!”

Du Xinzhu caught up with them from behind, but she couldn’t see it clearly from afar. It seemed that both of them had gotten off the horse. However, when she approached them, she couldn’t help but yell, “What are you guys doing?”

You couldn’t blame her for questioning. Those d*mn people were hugging each other tightly behind a huge rock, and Li Mu’s hands were moving around He Xiaoyu’s back.

Upon seeing her, Li Mu quickly gestured to her and said, “Get off the horse. Quick, get off the horse and crawl over here.”

Du Xinzhu dismounted from the horse and asked with a bewildered look on her face, “What’s wrong with you two? Why are you hiding …”

Whoosh! A sharp arrow whizzed past her head, taking her hat along with it.

“Ah!” With a scream, Du Xinzhu immediately sat down on the ground. Then, she crawled behind the huge rock on all fours and curled into a shivering ball.

Li Mu didn’t have time to comfort her. He fished out the mobile phone from He Xiaoyu’s pocket, took a glance at it, cursed, and put it back into her pocket again.

Meanwhile, Du Xinzhu had burst into tears, while Li Mu was patting her on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry. This place is very safe. He can’t see us here. Xinzhu, try to call the police with your mobile phone!”

Hearing that, Du Xinzhu took out her mobile phone with a trembling hand. After taking a glance, she said in a dejected tone, “No, no signal!”

“F**k!” Li Mu cursed, “Fang Qiang, that d*mn f**ker. The mobile infrastructure is not available yet, and he still opened the resort!”

Du Xinzhu said cautiously, “Yes, he, he is pretty f**ked up. Brother Mu, you want, you want…”

“What do you want to say?”

“Nothing. Brother Mu, who is he? Why does he want to kill us?”

“I think he should be that lunatic. I don’t know why he wants to kill us, but I am sure that he is that man.”

“Brother Mu, is it that man that you were chasing after just now?”

Li Mu nodded firmly and said with certainty, “Yes, it’s him. I’m 100% sure that it’s him!”

Du Xinzhu took a glance at He Xiaoyu and asked with concern, “What’s wrong with her? Is she injured?”

“She has a bad scare!”

Du Xinzhu deeply understood how He Xiaoyu felt and gave her back a sympathetic pat. The encounter just now almost scared her to death. Her hands and legs were still weak now!

“Brother Mu, what should we do now?”

“There are two ways. One is to have someone to ride back and ask for help, and the other is to fight back.”

“I’m not going!” Du Xinzhu immediately replied, “I’m scared. My hands and legs are weak. I can’t move.”

“Xiaoyu doesn’t want to go too, and I can’t leave you two behind. Then let’s try to fight back.”

“How to fight back?”

“Xinzhu, there are bows and arrows hanging on the saddle. You crawl over and help me to get a set of bow and arrows.”

Du Xinzhu shook her head vigorously and said in a voice choked with sobs, “No, I’m not going. Brother Mu, don’t ask me to do anything. I’m scared!”

“You will be fine. Don’t be scared. As long as you stay low to the ground, he can’t see you.”

“No, no, I can’t. I really can’t!” Du Xinzhu burst into tears again.

This d*mn woman was too timid. Forgot it. He would go himself!

Li Mu leaned closer and whispered into He Xiaoyu’s ear, “Xiaoyu, let go of me for a while. I’ll go and get a set of bow and arrows.”

“I will go!” He Xiaoyu let go of Li Mu and said, “With your size, it’s easy for him to spot you!”

“Aren’t you afraid anymore?” Li Mu asked with concern.

“I feel much better now!”

“Be careful. Crawl over, and don’t raise your head.”

“Okay, don’t worry. He can’t see me!”

After saying that, He Xiaoyu turned around the huge rock and crawled toward the horses. The closest one to her was the patchy horse. Upon seeing its owner crawling toward him, he approached obediently, lowered his head, and gently blew in her face.

He Xiaoyu reached out her hand and took the bow and arrows hanging from the saddle. After getting her hands of them, she turned around and crawled back again.

Li Mu gave her a thumb up and gave her a pat on her back.

The latter smiled shyly, and her heart was filled with happiness.

Ms. He was overjoyed that at this critical juncture of life and death. It was her who was at her senior fellow’s side. She believed that after this perilous incident, their relationship would be sublimed. There was nothing more memorable than experiencing life and death together.

Li Mu took out an arrow, picked up the bow, and measured it in his hand.

“Brother Mu, none of these arrows have a sharpened tip. Even if he managed to hit him, it won’t hurt him. It’s useless,” Du Xinzhu said.

“It’s okay. I will modify the arrows on the spot now!”

Li Mu fished out a Swiss knife and started to modify those arrows. This had shown Li Mu’s cautiousness. Whenever he traveled to the wild, he would always carry a Swiss knife with him just to be prepared for any emergency. Now, it had really come in handy.

Li Mu removed the foam tips and curved them sharply with a knife. Then, he bent the bow and set the arrow against the strings, ready to launch a counter-attack.

“Li Mu!”

He Xiaoyu tugged at his clothes from behind, but Li Mu didn’t look back at her. Instead, he only hummed in response.

“Do you know how to shoot an arrow?”

“I have seen it on TV before,” Li Mu replied honestly.

“Give it to me. Let me do it!”

Li Mu looked back at her and asked, “You know how to shoot arrows?”

“Yes, I have learned it before!”

Ms. He was not bragging at all. As the daughter of a wealthy and noble family, she had been playing aristocratic sports since young.

What Li Mu didn’t know was that He Xiaoyu was not simple at all. It was just that she didn’t want to brag about it.

For example, she was an equestrian champion, an archery champion, a nine-ball champion, and a golf’s woman champion. Other than that, she was also ranked 7th-degree black belt in Taekwondo and 5th Dan in Japanese Kendo. Do you really think that she often skipped school to go shopping since she was a child?

If it wasn’t because she was blindly in love with him, even if Li Mu wanted to force himself on her, he wouldn’t be able to get close to her at all.

“Have you really learned it before?” Li Mu asked a little worriedly.

“Why do I need to lie to you? Give it to me. Let me fight him!”

Li Mu didn’t say anything. For some reason, he was always willing to believe in He Xiaoyu. No matter what she said, he would always habitually choose to believe her words. Even if she really lied to him, he would still foolishly believe her afterward.

He passed the bow to He Xiaoyu and reminded her, “Be careful. Don’t let him see you!”

“Okay, I will be careful!”

The two of them changed positions. He Xiaoyu came to the edge of the huge rock and peered out to the bushes on the opposite side.

The bushes on the opposite side were shrouded in shadows, and it was impossible to see where the target was.

He Xiaoyu whispered, “He should be hiding in the bushes, but I can’t see anything. Li Mu, I can’t determine the location of the target.”

“Get ready, and shoot when you see him!” Li Mu ordered.

“What are you doing?”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Mu suddenly jumped up and cursed with his arms akimbo, “F**k your ancestors. I am here. Shoot me if you can!”

There were movements in the bushes, and He Xiaoyu yelled, “Get down!”

Two sharp arrows were shot out almost at the same time, hitting the huge rock with a crisp thud.

“Ah!” a scream came out from the bushes, and then, frantic footsteps could be heard, as if someone had been injured and fled away.

Behind the huge rock, He Xiaoyu was punching and kicking Li Mu. If Du Xinzhu wasn’t around, she would pounce on him and bite him.

“Xiaoyu, stop beating me. I also don’t have a choice. Let’s look at the result. Look at the result!”

“Look at what result? Are you crazy? Do you want to die? If you die, I won’t bring your corpse back for you!”

Du Xinzhu poked out her head and listened carefully for a while. Then, she said, “The two of you, stop fighting. Listen, there is a motorcycle sound coming from that side. That man must have run away.”

“Humph, does he still dare to stay here? I have shot him, and he is injured now, so he certainly wouldn’t dare to attack us easily again.”

Li Mu gave her two thumbs up and praised her from the bottom of his heart, “Xiaoyu, I didn’t know that you are a heroine. Your archery skills are awesome. I’m really ashamed of my skills. I can’t compete with you at all.

He Xiaoyu was overjoyed when she heard Li Mu complimented her. Today’s trip was absolutely worthwhile, and she had even begun to thank that lunatic.

“Let’s go over, and take a look!” Li Mu waved his hand and took the lead to go into the bushes.

He Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed him and said seriously, “Don’t go. Let’s go back, call a few more people here, and go in together. By the way, why aren’t Fang Qiang and Lin Wan here yet?”
