Chapter 541-542

Chapter 541: Successfully Evaded the Grim Reaper 　 For a moment, he felt panic. “Listen to me carefully.” Yun Xi stood up, took a few steps back in the direction from where they had come, and dug out a large piece of moist soil. “Keep the pressure on the metal and slowly squat down. I will insert my knife into the mine under your feet, and when my knife is inserted into it, you will slowly move your feet away.” “Okay.” Feng Yang quickly readjusted his emotions and began to cooperate with her mine-clearance work. 　 　 Perhaps because he was a powerful man who was used to being in dangerous situations, Feng Yang cooperated very well. Yun Xi followed his foot’s position and stuck the parachute knife into the mine’s pressure port. Feng Yang carefully moved his foot according to her instructions. Yun Xi took the large piece of mud and slowly pressed it onto the knife. The mine wasn’t triggered. Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief. In this life-or-death situation, they had successfully evaded the grim reaper. Yun Xi disassembled the parachute rope in her pocket into a very thin nylon string and handed one end to Feng Yang. “You can pull it back about 20 yards away from me.” Feng Yang looked at the small nylon rope in his hand. Doubting its strength, he asked, “Is it going to work? It’s so thin.” “It’s a parachute rope. What do you think?” Yun Xi pulled her end and watched him move back, step by step by step. “Just stay there and don’t move.” Yun Xi turned her head and tied her section of rope to the button of the parachute rope handle, then moved back along the way she’d come. Seeing her safely approaching him, Feng Yang felt completely relieved. At the last moment, he’d almost crossed paths with death. 　 　 However, at this moment, he felt that the little girl in front of him was extremely adorable. His joy at conquering death paled in comparison to his joy at seeing her smile so carefreely. She’d saved him twice in a row, and he would never have thought that in his lifetime, a proud person like himself would have needed a little girl to save his life. Lying down on the ground, Yun Xi pulled the other end of the rope and glanced at Feng Yang. When he was lying on the ground also, he pulled the rope and the parachute knife from the distance of 20 yards. Yun Xi’s umbrella knife was pulled out, and the trigger let go. There was an enormous bang as the sound of a landmine exploding resounded throughout the uninhabited minefield. After confirming that the vibration from the blast wasn’t going to cause other mines to explode, Yun Xi stood up and found a more open place for them to wait. “It’s so cold! You start a fire here. I’ll see if they’ve gone yet. We don’t have much time. If Young Marshal Mu is coming to find us, he will need to determine our location. The sound of the explosion just now likely alarmed the nearby villagers and Crocodile. If Young Marshal Mu hurries over in time, he might be able to catch them. This is the border. If they escape over it, it’s going to be difficult to catch them.” She wasn’t worried about the situation she was in, but hoped that Mu Feichi would come here soon and catch Crocodile before he could run away. Their people and the armed police had been pursuing him for so long, but he still hadn’t been arrested. This time, they’d finally gotten news of his whereabouts. They couldn’t miss this good opportunity. 　 　 “Be careful. Don’t get too close. At least the minefield is safe now.” “I know.” Yun Xi waved her hand and walked back with the small flashlight. The sound of the explosion had alarmed the drug dealers who were waiting outside the minefield. Thinking that the people they were after had stepped on a mine and had probably been killed by it, one of the cars left and one car stayed outside just in case. Their cunningness impressed Yun Xi. The sound of the explosion also alarmed the people who were searching for Yun Xi. The instrument panel in Mu Feichi’s hand rang. In the passenger seat, Li Zilan turned her head and said loudly, “Mu Feichi, there seems to have been an explosion in front of us.” Mu Feichi lowered his head and searched for the location address as fast as he could. The piece of land on the map that had been pinpointed by his device turned out to be...a minefield. *** Chapter 542: Her Future Was Bound to Be Full of Potential 　 A minefield... Mu Feichi turned the device to Li Zilan and showed her the skull icon that indicated where the minefield was. At this moment, both she and Mu Feichi had two thoughts. If it was a minefield and if the girl was really there, it would be impossible for her to be able to clear a mine. So the minefield that had had the explosion couldn’t be her location. But, if she had been there, neither of them wanted to even think about what could have happened to her. 　 　 Li Zilan looked at Mu Feichi and promised instinctively, almost without any thought, “Nothing is going to happen to Yun Xi.” Nothing is going to happen to that girl because nothing could happen to that girl. Even though they were kind of deceiving themselves, the two of them still turned around and rushed toward the minefield. ... Feng Yang had started a fire just like Yun Xi had told him to. When Yun Xi came back, she saw Feng Yang adding firewood to the burning fire and was slightly stunned. “Were the magnesium rod flint and steel so easy to use? Did you start a fire right away?” After all, it had just snowed, and the grasses were very wet. She had specifically entrusted him with the responsibility of making the fire because she really didn’t have much faith in the flint and steel. She’d thought they would have to use a more primitive way like friction to make a fire. She hadn’t expected him to have such an impressive result. Feng Yang smiled and raised the lighter he was holding in his hand. The flames reflected his calm, handsome face. For a moment, Yun Xi was taken aback by how good-looking this man was. At his age, he had all the calm and self-control that a mature man should have, as well as distinguished family background and fabulous abilities. 　 　 And it was really very rare for a person to be engaged in such a dangerous profession at such a young age. Compared to Han Yaotian, who was a ruthlessly Machiavellian and unscrupulous wealthy young heir, someone as extraordinary as Feng Yang was simply a rare treasure. No matter where and in which situations she had ever seen him, his choices had always been impressive. “Look, it’s better to use a lighter!” Yun Xi looked at the lighter in his hand and couldn’t help laughing. She moved closer to the fire. Her entire pants were wet from the snow and the water on the grasses. She felt numb from the cold. Feng Yang silently looked at her face reflected in the firelight. She appeared delicate and soft, but there was also a sense of resilience and stubbornness that ordinary girls didn’t have. “Yun Xi, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?” He could see that she worked very hard to make herself strong. She never stopped, so she definitely wasn’t going to be a mediocre person in the future. “Future? Who knows what will happen in the future?” Touching her cold face, she smiled at him. “If I say I want to change the Yun family and have the Yun family achieve a place among the prominent families in Jingdu, would you believe it?” 　 　 Feng Yang didn’t seem to expect that she would have such thoughts. After a few seconds, he nodded. His deep eyes looked at her delicate face. “I believe you.” She was such a brave, hardworking little girl that God would take care of her. Her future was bound to be full of potential. Yun Xi smiled. She didn’t know what would happen in the future. She just wanted to take every day, moving forward with her feet on the ground, step by step. Just as she was feeling relaxed, there was the clatter of helicopter propellers in the distance. Yun Xi stood up, looked at the helicopter that was flashing red lights as it approached, and hurriedly took out a high-frequency whistle from her pocket and blew on it. The sound of this special whistle was a 3,000 Hz ultrasonic wave, which couldn’t be heard by human ears. However, on Mu Feichi’s helicopter, there were instruments that could detect its frequency. If it was Mu Feichi, he would definitely find them here. Feng Yang stood up and silently looked at the little girl with her head upside down staring at the helicopter. There was unconcealed expectation and excitement in those starry eyes. He suddenly felt that this night had been too short. He wished that time would stop here and allow him to extend this moment indefinitely.
