I Will Help You Keep It A Secret

Leaving this sentence behind, Xu Xiang ran towards the forest. After running for a while, she took out her laser sword and started chopping down the trees. Her plan was to make a sleigh with wheels. This design can be used in any conditions as the wheels can be pulled out or put back freely.

Although she has a ready-made one, she cannot use it. Fortunately, with her advanced technology tools, she completed the sleigh in just ten minutes. After confirming that the sleigh was durable enough, she quickly pulled the sleigh back to where Xiao Han was.

Xiao Han couldn't hide his surprise when he saw what she was pulling behind her. Standing up, he quickly helped her pull the sleigh towards Xiao Shao.

"Miss Xu, your idea is really brilliant!" He praised her without hesitation.

"Let's find your family quickly."

While speaking, she had already helped Xiao Shao onto the sleigh. Xiao Han was taken aback, and quickly stopped her.

"Miss Xu, you mustn't!"

"Huh?"

Seeing Xiao Han's serious face, she was a little puzzled. Not understanding why he suddenly said this, she asked, "What's the matter? If you don't hurry up, your family will be worried."

Listening to her words, Xiao Han suddenly didn't know what to say. Although he is only fourteen years old this year, even he knows that men and women should keep their distance. Xu Xiang looked at his face that kept changing color for a while.

Thinking that Xiao Han must be anxious too, she directly supported Xiao Shao to lie on the sleigh. With her strength, it is not difficult to drag him up to the sleigh. After adjusting Xiao Shao's position, she also put the bamboo basket on the sleigh. Wrapping the rope around her body, she held the handles of the sleigh and looked at Xiao Han.

"Let's go."

Without waiting for Xiao Han's answer, she began to pull the sleigh. When she first pulled it, it was a bit heavy. But after it moved, it became lighter. In this way, she had walked more than ten meters before Xiao Han came back to his senses.

Looking at her back with complicated eyes, he quickly chased after her. After walking for fifteen minutes, they finally saw the other exile prisoners not far ahead. Before she had time to call the other members of the Xiao family, Xiao Han suddenly tugged on her sleeve to stop her. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Han looked into her clear eyes and spoke in a low voice seriously. "Miss Xu, what happened before... I will help you keep it a secret. You don't need to worry about your reputation. I know you did this because you want to help my brother. You can trust me."

Xu Xiang looked at him for a while, but still didn't know what he was talking about. She nodded at him just because he was staring at her seriously. Seeing her nodding, Xiao Han sighed and called his family.

"Father, mother, elder sister."

Xu Xiang looked at his thin back in doubt, and couldn't help asking herself.

'What the hell is he talking about?'

When the other three saw the sleigh, they couldn't help admiring her bright mind. With the sleigh, they don't have to worry about aggravating Xiao Shao's injury. Coupled with Xu Xiang pulling the sleigh, they walked faster and were not as tired as before. They walked for hours, and rested only when the sun was already on top of their head.

"Stop and rest for a while!"

An officer yelled, and the prisoners quickly found a shady place to rest. Although they are approaching the northern territory, the weather during the day is still very hot. Pulling the sleigh under a dry tree, Xu Xiang untied the rope on her body and wiped her sweat.

Looking at the tired and hungry Xiao family, she picked up the bamboo basket and said, "I'll go find something to eat. I'll be back in a while."

Hearing that she was going to find something to eat, Xiao Han stood up. "Miss Xu, can I go with you?"

She glanced at his parents, and seeing that they agreed, she nodded to him. "Okay. Let's go."

With her bamboo basket on her back and Xiao Han walking in front of her, she walked into the forest.

Xu Xiang and Xiao Han walked for more than fifteen minutes, but still didn't find anything. Xiao Han wiped his sweat, pointed to the right and said, "Miss Xu, let's split up. I'll go that way."

After hearing his words, she was relieved. Fortunately, he finally suggested they split up, otherwise, she would have suggested it herself. With Xiao Han by her side, she couldn't get food and water out of the space at all.

She nodded at him, pointed to the left and said, "Then I'll go and look in that direction."

"Okay." Xiao Han nodded, and glanced at her again before leaving.

Seeing Xiao Han already walking quite far, Xu Xiang looked at the dead trees around her. She needs to find an excuse to logically explain to the Xiao family where her food and water come from.

After searching for a while, she saw a big withered tree, and her eyes lit up. She walked to the tree and knocked it a few times. From the sound, she was sure that the middle of this dry tree was empty.

Glancing at the direction where Xiao Han was, she saw that he was still searching for food carefully. After making sure that he would not suddenly come looking for her, she took out a laser dagger from space. Turning on the laser dagger, she cut the tree, and made a hole.

After that, she put the dagger back into space and expanded the hole with her hands. That way, no one would notice the cuts she made with the laser dagger. After working for a few minutes, she managed to dig a large hole in the tree.
