Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 467 Ji Wei’s face suddenly turned pale

"Little squirrel, little squirrel, come out... You must be playing hide-and-seek with me, right?" Jia Ming cautiously approached the tree trunk, but still ended up empty-handed.

In the blink of an eye, the little squirrel appeared again behind a pile of fallen leaves. Jia Ming saw it and hurriedly chased after. Behind him, Mary kept close to ensure his safety.

Ji Wei watched their figures gradually fade into the distance and instinctively quickened her pace.

Gradually, the air in the mountains grew damp and cold. The towering trees exuded a chilling aura. It had rained the previous night, and the forest was shrouded in a faint mist. The fallen leaves underfoot were wet and slippery.

Fortunately, Ji Wei was wearing rain boots, which were both slip-resistant and warm.

Jia Ming’s voice was barely audible now.

Ji Wei grew worried that he might wander too far and get into trouble, so she began to run.

As she sprinted past a mountain pass, she suddenly spotted a small wooden cabin not far away. It seemed quite old, with moss growing on it and the fallen leaves atop the roof decayed into black-gray sludge from the rainwater.

This was probably a temporary shelter built by hunters in the past.

Ji Wei only gave it a quick glance before continuing on without much thought.

Thankfully, Mary understood that Ji Wei would be concerned if they ventured too far, so she tied up the unruly Jia Ming with a rope and dragged him back.

"Bad person, bad person..."

Jia Ming, his hands bound, wore a look of displeasure and kept muttering under his breath.

Ji Wei finally relaxed when she saw the two of them returning.

As soon as he saw Ji Wei, Jia Ming acted like he’d found a savior, yelling, "Little sister Wei, she’s a bad person! She tied me up!"

Ji Wei motioned for Mary to untie him.

As soon as his hands were freed, Jia Ming quickly hid behind Ji Wei and stuck his tongue out at Mary, shouting, "Bad person!"

Ji Wei chuckled helplessly.

She took out some biscuits from her bag and handed them to Jia Ming, who instantly regained his cheerful demeanor and happily began eating.

The three of them rested by a large rock, drinking water and preparing to continue on their way when it suddenly started to rain. The forest was already quite damp, and Ji Wei worried that Jia Ming might catch a cold if he got wet, so she decided they should find shelter.

Thinking about finding a place to avoid the rain, the image of the small wooden cabin she’d seen earlier suddenly surfaced in Ji Wei’s mind...

At the cabin front.

Mary went ahead to inspect the area and noticed the cabin was locked, though the lock was heavily rusted. She picked up a rock and smashed the lock several times until the door opened.

Mary entered the cabin first with Jia Ming.

After taking a few steps inside, she looked back and saw Ji Wei standing motionless at the entrance. She couldn’t help but call out, "Mrs. Gu?"

For some reason, when Ji Wei saw the cabin door open and the pitch-black interior, an inexplicable fear rose in her heart.

The fear was so intense that she couldn’t move her feet at all.

Mary noticed this, walked back, and asked with concern, "Mrs. Gu, are you feeling unwell?" She had noticed that Ji Wei’s face had suddenly turned deathly pale.

"Ah—It hurts, it hurts!"

Inside, Jia Ming suddenly let out a scream of pain, and the two women exchanged glances before rushing in.

The light in the forest was dim; the cabin was even darker. Ji Wei vaguely saw Jia Ming lying on the ground, crying out in pain.

Mary quickly took out a flashlight and shone it in Jia Ming’s direction, revealing that he was clutching his foot in visible anguish.

Ji Wei put her fear aside and ran over to check on him.

The sole of Jia Ming’s shoe had been pierced by a nail.

Ji Wei removed his shoe and saw that the nail had punctured his foot, leaving a small bleeding wound.

Fortunately, they had brought some emergency supplies. They immediately disinfected Jia Ming’s wound and applied a bandage.

Afraid of the pain, Jia Ming didn’t dare put pressure on his injured foot and walked with a pronounced limp. As he hobbled toward a corner of the room, Ji Wei’s eyes involuntarily locked onto that corner, and once again, that strange sense of fear surged within her!

"Jia Ming, don’t go over there!" Ji Wei suddenly cried out sternly.
