Liu Sandao said nothing, returning to his usual calm.
Since she had already guessed it, whether he denied it or not was no longer important.
They had to escape first. As for where to go, he knew very well.
After walking a long, long way, they came to a cliff. The waves crashed against the rocks, making a "rumbling" sound!
If you hadn't come here, you would have thought Red Island was flat on all sides, so flat it hardly seemed like an island!
"Is there a path here?"
Sasha stood beside Liu Sandao, her voice filled with doubt.
Looking at the waves surging forward, they were not far from the sea.
Above them was a steep cliff face, making climbing difficult.
She had never learned indoor climbing and was afraid Liu Sandao would tell her, "We have to climb it with our bare hands!"
Liu Sandao remained silent, his gaze fixed on where the waves were crashing.
He was no stranger to water; in the water, he was omnipotent!
He just didn't know if it would be the same in the sea here.
"What are you doing?"
Sasha asked accusingly as he stepped into the waves without a word.
As soon as Liu Sandao touched the water, a small portion of his divine sense returned. Although he couldn't escape from here, he could sense if there were any exposed rocks on the other side or a small path to bypass.
In a short time, he felt there was a stable spot to stand and a small stretch of rocky beach.
"Let's go, let's get over there first!"
"Rumble!"
The sound of the waves was immense!
Liu Sandao had to shout at Sasha:
"Let's go, move forward!"
"No, can we get through there?"
Sasha shouted back with equal force.
"Come, come!"
Liu Sandao called out, gesturing with his hand.
Sasha, gathering her courage, walked over, stopping and starting, sometimes leaning sideways.
Her slender body swayed left and right in the sea breeze.
"Ah!"
As she neared Liu Sandao, she cried out and missed her footing!
Liu Sandao, with lightning-fast reflexes, grabbed her arm.
The waves, without mercy, had already soaked her pants.
"Ah... Ha... Ha!"
Sasha, startled, gasped for breath, her arms clinging tightly to Liu Sandao, afraid to let go.
"Don't worry, it's safe here! Come!"
Liu Sandao reassured her and slowly released her hand.
Only when she had calmed down did he take a step.
"You!"
Sasha exclaimed.
She saw Liu Sandao step down with one foot, and then with a "thud!" his other foot followed, and he fell into the water, which reached his thighs.
Her heart sank, her anxiety shooting to her throat.
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
Liu Sandao reassured her.
Seeing him standing in the water, with waves crashing against him, Sasha was truly worried.
"Come! Get down, I'll catch you!"
Liu Sandao called out, extending his hand.
Seeing that he was stable, Sasha finally relaxed. She crouched down and tentatively stood beside Liu Sandao.
Her pants were already wet, so she decided to let go of all her worries.
The only one she could rely on was the man in front of her.
She had always considered herself a tough woman from her journalism work, but facing such situations, she still longed for a man's presence.
Perhaps this was the difference between men and women!
In a brief moment of distraction, Liu Sandao had already taken her hand and guided her around the rocks. Wading through the seawater, they slowly moved towards a small stretch of beach on the other side.
After only a few steps, they reached the end.
Liu Sandao let go of Sasha's hand and once again tested the water with his foot.
The moment he found a stable footing, he slipped and fell into the water!
"Ah! Liudao! Liudao!"
Sasha screamed in terror, her body collapsing onto the ground.
If he had slipped and fallen, he would surely not have survived!
Who would have thought that such a small plan would lead to so much trouble!
The waves crashed against the beach, as if proclaiming their sovereignty!
No one could leave this place without their permission!
"Wuwuwu, it's all my fault!"
Sasha wept, her sorrow known only to herself.
In this place where no one could hear her cries, what could she do?
Cry her heart out! And then die quietly.
"Hey!"
Perhaps only by crying as if she were dying could she forget her perilous situation.
Liu Sandao called out, but she paid no attention.
Liu Sandao had no choice but to walk out of the water and gently pat her shoulder.
Only then did Sasha look up and see Liu Sandao standing before her.
"You! You're not dead?"
As she said this, she threw her arms around Liu Sandao. Her emotions at that moment were indescribable. Without being in the situation herself, it was truly impossible to imagine the scene of weeping one moment and laughing the next.
"You scared me to death!"
She playfully punched Liu Sandao's chest with her fist.
Liu Sandao grabbed her arm, trying to stabilize her emotions, as it was not yet a time for celebration.
"Let's go, once we get past this, we'll be safe!"
He said, and then jumped down.
This time, he surfaced, his hands flailing in the water.
It was a clear signal to Sasha that the water was deep here and swimming was required.
Sasha knew how to swim, but she wasn't proficient. She had only dared to swim a few laps in a swimming pool. This was her first time in the sea, and she was a little scared.
"Quick, come down, it's okay! I'll catch you!"
Sasha couldn't remember how many times Liu Sandao had told her he would catch her. She felt like a burden since the beginning.
"Sigh!"
She couldn't worry about it any longer. She carefully wrapped her camera in a small waterproof bag she carried, put it in her pocket, zipped it up, and then jumped in.
With his superior swimming skills, Liu Sandao immediately lifted her above the water.
Being able to breathe the air, Sasha felt much safer.
Swimming wasn't that difficult, as long as her head could stay above water!
They rounded the rocks and saw another stretch of beach.
Unlike the previous one, this beach was very long, but the distance was a bit far, requiring them to swim.
With all her might, Sasha finally swam to the beach and collapsed, too exhausted to move.
"Alright, we're safe now. I'm leaving,"
Liu Sandao said, immediately getting up and walking away.
"Hey! What kind of person are you!"
Sasha said, trying to sit up, but she had no strength left in her body.
After struggling for a long time, she finally couldn't get up.
This Liudao was truly strange, how did he know this was a safe place?
She couldn't bother with it any longer. She would let him go. After all, she was completely unable to walk any further at this moment!
However, catching sight of a house in the distance, she felt a sense of relief.
It seemed they had swum to the west side of Red Island.
The houses in the distance belonged to her father or uncle, meaning they had reached home!
The sky was still blue, and the sea remained gentle. Sasha closed her eyes with peace of mind.
