At this time, Lin Qingqing discovered that the people who said such things were all from He Jinquan's side.

"Comrade He, what you mean is, as the captain of your team, you really don't intend to tell your people about it." She kindly reminded him again.

He Jinquan was still resentful of the fact that the woman surnamed Lin had asked for an exorbitant price from him not long ago, and now he hated this woman to death.

He would not do anything this woman said, and neither would his men.

"Hmph, Comrade Lin, aren't you meddling in this matter too much? What my people do is none of your business." He replied unhappily.

After hearing his answer, Lin Qingqing sneered and suddenly felt that her kindness seemed to have been backfired.

"Okay, if you don't listen, that's your business. If anything goes wrong, don't blame us."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned to look at Huang Hu and said, "Comrade Huang, let's go pick it up ourselves. Also, we'll spend the night separately."

Huang Hu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the disappointment of those people. Finally, he nodded and agreed to her proposal. "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to collect firewood."

At this time, Lin Qingqing naturally would not think that she was a lesbian and just sit there waiting for others to come back after collecting firewood.

When he called out names to go collect firewood, he also raised his hand and said, "Count me in, I'll go with you."

Xiao Wen also raised his hand at this time, "Count me in too."

Huang Hu glanced at the young couple, didn't say much, and nodded slightly, as a token of his gratitude for the favor given by the couple.

There is not much else in this deep forest, the most abundant thing is dry firewood.

They only spent less than ten minutes picking up firewood around, and when they came back, each of them was holding a large bundle of firewood in their hands.

The research team.

They only collected enough firewood to last for a short while.

"I really don't understand those people. It would be nice if they had firewood at all, but they picked up so much. It's like they have so much energy but nowhere to use it." Someone saw them picking up so much firewood and made mocking remarks.

Liu Shan, the tour guide who brought them here this time, looked down at the firewood they had picked up.

Because they were all sneaky and cunning, the firewood they collected was not as much as the one person over there.

As Liu Shan grew up in this place, he naturally knew the importance of firewood to someone who spent the night in the mountains.

"You'd better listen to Comrade Huang and pick up some more firewood. Without firewood at night, wild beasts will attack us." He advised them earnestly.

"I say, Lao Liu, are you scared by the people over there? What wild beast? Don't scare us with these things. We are not afraid. We are hungry. If there really is a wild beast, we will kill it and roast it to eat." After saying this, the man laughed.

After hearing this, the others also burst into laughter.

Liu Shan sighed in disappointment and looked at He Jinquan, the person in charge. "Comrade He, what I just said is true. You should tell them. If there really is a wild beast, the consequences will be serious."

He Jinquan interrupted Liu Shan's persuasion with a nonchalant look on his face. "Liu Shan, you're the tour guide we paid a lot of money for. You just need to lead the way. As for how we spend the night here, that's our business. We don't need you to tell us what to do."

Liu Shan felt a little disappointed when he saw that no one listened to his advice.

But he didn't dare put his life in the hands of these ignorant people.

He was also thinking about taking the money back to live a good life with his wife and children.

"Okay, if you won't listen to my advice, then I don't have anything else to say. I just hope you don't regret it. I'm not going to wait here to die with you. I'm going to stay across the street for one night."

After saying that, without waiting for He Jinquan to react, he ignored their dumbfounded expressions and strode towards Lin Qingqing and the others.

"Captain He, why is this tour guide like this? He just left us here and didn't care about us at all?" Someone complained to He Jinquan in dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking. No matter where he goes, we just need to live our own life. You all need to get some sleep tonight. We will divide into three teams to keep watch tonight. Do you hear me?" Without even glancing at the tour guide who was walking over, He Jinquan began to instruct the team members present on how to spend the night.

The other side.

When Lin Qingqing and the others saw the tour guide suddenly walking towards them, they didn't understand why he came to their place.

Finally, it was Liu Shan who took the initiative to explain, "They didn't listen to my advice, and I really can't stay with them any longer. I'm afraid there's only a one in ten thousand chance of danger, and I don't want to take that risk. I'd like to stay here with you for one night. Is that okay with you? Don't worry, I won't stay in vain. I'll be the one guarding the night."

Everyone looked at each other and no one had any objection.

Finally, Huang Hu spoke up, "Alright, you can stay here if you want, but you promised to help us keep watch. You can't break your promise."

Seeing that they agreed to let him stay the night here, Liu Shan's face lit up and he nodded vigorously. "I know. I will definitely help you keep watch. I keep my word."

For dinner, everyone ate the meat buns that Lin Qingqing brought in today.

Because there were so many people, everyone didn’t get much, but it did mean they had something extra to fill their stomachs.

After eating this little bit of food, everyone quickly lay down on the ground, thinking about continuing their journey tomorrow.

In the first half of the night, everyone was having sweet dreams.

In the middle of the night, there was suddenly a commotion next door.

The sound was so loud that it woke them all up.

Lin Qingqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

"You sit here, I'll go ask." Xiao Wen draped his clothes over her, then stood up and walked towards Huang Hu.

"Brother Huang, what's going on over there?" He came up to Huang Hu and asked.

Huang Hu picked up the weapon on his body and looked ahead with a vigilant look. "I think those people may have encountered a wild beast. Comrade Xiao, you go and protect Comrade Lin. I and my brothers are here. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"I told them a long time ago to light a fire at night, but they just wouldn't listen to me. They must have encountered a large wild animal. I hope nothing happens to them. I haven't received my tour guide fee yet." Liu Shan listened to the screams coming from next door and turned around in a panic.

Huang Hu interrupted Liu Shan, who was lost in thought, with an impatient look on his face. "Hey, Comrade Liu Shan, we don't know what's going on over there right now, and you still have the mood to ramble on here all by yourself? Don't you want to come with us to take a look?"
