Chapter 846: Uncle please put me down quickly

Baili Xia nearly lost her balance several times and almost took a tumble.

The man behind her seemed to be looking at his phone, and just as she tried to turn around, he interrupted her with a cold hardness, “Stop dawdling, walk faster!”

She immediately bit down on her teeth and persisted in moving forward.

Unconsciously, she found herself back where she had talked with Guisu yesterday; she was able to remember this place.

But she had no idea how to proceed from here; she was completely at a loss.

“Uncle, I don’t know…” Baili Xia tried to look back again.

Behind her, Mu Xiaojiu’s voice had sunk to almost inaudible depths, “To the left, hurry up!”

She took a deep breath, without any hesitation, and immediately entered the left path.

She really didn’t understand this man; everything had been fine before, so why had he suddenly become like this after they left the cave?

His speech was freezing cold, and he was so irritable!

But she was genuinely out of strength.

Her head was dizzy, her body alternately felt cold and hot, and they had rushed along for so long…

She had a feeling that she could collapse at any moment.

Her slim frame indeed wavered in the wind, and her steps were disordered.

Mu Xiaojiu was not unaware; she was close to not being able to walk anymore.

She had a fever all night, and now she was still feverish, probably burning even more fiercely than before.

Suddenly, the girl ahead slipped, and she looked set to fall.

He had no choice but to stride forward with a long step, lifting his heavy legs to move past her.

Before she fell, he scooped her up in his arms.

“Uncle, I can do it myself…” Baili Xia didn’t know what was wrong with her, she just wobbled a bit and nearly fell.

“Don’t talk… don’t move.” Above her head, there came his faint sigh, almost imperceptible.

Only after picking her up did he realize that her condition was worse than he had thought.

Her body temperature was so high, perhaps it had reached forty degrees again; no wonder she looked frail enough to be blown over by the wind.

After picking her up, Mu Xiaojiu walked even faster.

Baili Xia’s head rested against his chest, and she wanted to look up at him, but he wouldn’t allow it.

Every time she tried to raise her head, he would press her more firmly into his embrace.

After two attempts, once she realized he wouldn’t allow it, she didn’t insist anymore, despite some surprise in her heart, because her head was simply too heavy.

However, Uncle’s body temperature seemed to be higher than hers…

His pace, initially hurried, gradually slowed down.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia finally started to feel that something was off.

The temperature of his body was getting higher and higher, and even though she felt uncomfortable all over, alternating between burning and freezing, she still had some sensation.

His body temperature was indeed unusual…

“Uncle…” she tried to raise her head again.

However, Mu Xiaojiu kept a firm hand on her head without stopping her movements this time.

“Uncle, put me down, I can walk by myself.”

Baili Xia’s voice was hoarse, the hoarseness almost choking her.

But he remained silent, still carrying her forward, only, even Baili Xia could feel that he was becoming more and more strained.

What was the reason?

With Uncle’s toughness, even if he had been starving for so long, he shouldn’t have become this weak.

“Uncle, put me down now!” Baili Xia felt increasingly uneasy, with a growing sense of dread within her.

“Uncle, let me down, Uncle!”
