Chapter 467: Chapter 467: You Don’t Trust Me That Much? Chapter 467: Chapter 467: You Don’t Trust Me That Much? And because of that shout, it so happened that two hunting dogs were lingering at the entrance of the valley, and then, they started barking frantically upon hearing the sound here.
Then, noises came from the house.
Several beams of flashlight light moved toward them.
Footsteps followed swiftly toward this area.
These people were all native residents, often running through these mountain forests, and their speed was not the same as that of the farmers on the plains.
These people were always hunting.
The hunting dogs, large in size, were now sprinting towards the direction of Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao.
A dog’s sense of smell is the sharpest.
And it was easy for them to sniff out unusual scents in these mountain woods.
Gu Qiaoqiao regretted extremely; she had not expected to be so useless.
In this critical moment, she had caused trouble.
She frowned in annoyance, thinking of what to do next.
Qin Yize chuckled, whispered softly, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here…”
As he spoke, Qin Yize let go of Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and walked towards the shadow of the tree behind them, quickly clambered up a large tree.
Gu Qiaoqiao also ran to the base of the large tree and said to Qin Yize, “Give me a hand…”
Qin Yize paused, then couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
How could Qiaoqiao be so adorable?
And under the moonlight, her hurried and flustered manner seemed as if she was afraid he would leave her behind.
How could that be possible?
He would leave himself here, but not Gu Qiaoqiao.
Even if he were to climb a tree, he would let Gu Qiaoqiao climb first instead of leaving her below.
It seemed that Gu Qiaoqiao’s trust in him still needed to increase.
Thinking this, Qin Yize said nothing but snapped off a sturdy branch from the tree trunk.
Then, he climbed down the tree quickly.
It was then that Gu Qiaoqiao realized what Qin Yize meant.
She had thought he was climbing the tree to take cover.
Qin Yize extended his hand, this time blatantly pinched her cheek, teasingly said, “So you don’t trust me that much?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I didn’t think that much…” Gu Qiaoqiao said dryly.
Qin Yize smiled but did not hesitate any longer because at that time, the men and hunting dogs were getting closer to their direction.
Qin Yize held up the stick in his hand and threw it forcefully in the opposite direction.
Then, that area emitted cracking noises.
As expected, several hunting dogs and the people ran towards the sound.
Qin Yize seized this opportunity and quietly led Gu Qiaoqiao along the small path toward the valley exit.
But unexpectedly, another person came along this small path.
Also carrying a flashlight.
Today was indeed lively.
Did they know that the two of them were coming?
But that didn’t seem likely.
Or was there some other action they were taking today?
Thinking of the three truckloads of things, Gu Qiaoqiao knit her brows.
Did they know that Uncle Gu had come to the Jade Mine?
Did they intend to destroy these things?
If that was the case, it would be terrible.
If they arrived tomorrow and couldn’t see anything, from whom would they claim anything?
Thinking this, Gu Qiaoqiao became anxious, but Qin Yize signaled her not to hurry.
He gazed intently, then pulled Gu Qiaoqiao back toward the direction of the woods.
The person holding the flashlight also hurriedly ran toward the direction of the hunting dogs and three men.
Muttering something that Gu Qiaoqiao could not understand at all.
