"Yes, Mr. Xing."

"So where are we now?"

Xing Baohua asked, he was a little disoriented. After all, he was in the jungle and didn't know which way was north, south, east, or west. He was just walking in one direction, but the trees were getting denser and denser, and it felt like he was climbing a mountain.

Liu Shengang dug a small pit in the ground, lit a fire, and put a pheasant he had hunted on it to roast.

He then picked up a small twig, hung a few antennas on the ground, and said, "This direction is Manchuria, and the Hulunbuir region shouldn't be far away. But we're heading northeast, so we're heading in this direction."

"Yes," Xing Baohua nodded, then asked, "Why haven't we encountered any boundary markers?"

"Remember that river? We can't cross it right now, so we'll head north along the river. That river is the boundary line. I was thinking that if we found a narrow section of the river, we could swim across."

Xing Baohua also realized that the other party didn't not want to swim across, but was afraid that something might happen to him.

"We need to find a way to cross the border!"

"Okay, I'll look for an opportunity tomorrow."

After eating roasted pheasant, although the taste was terrible, it filled my stomach. Given these conditions, if I still wanted the delicious taste of pheasant, I would have to have some seasoning!

Liu Shengang covered the fire with soil, then stomped on it to compact it, and disguised it so that there was no trace of fire.

The next day, led by Liu Shengang, they arrived at the border river. The river was very wide, about twenty or thirty meters across.

After surveying the area, Liu Shenggang took his dagger, found a poplar tree, and began cutting the bark to make two strands of rope.

Only after he tied Xing Baohua around the waist did he hear the fellow say, "I can swim."

"Those who know how to do it are likely to drown. I'm afraid you'll be swept away by the river. If we get separated, it will be a lot of trouble for me to find you."

These words made Xing Baohua very embarrassed. It has to be a professional; otherwise, he'd just be causing trouble for them.

The two waded into the river, clinging to a dead log. The water was icy cold, and once they were in, they realized that swimming to the other side would be a challenge for Xing Baohua.

It's very difficult, not only because of his physical strength, but also because of his injuries.

With water flowing at this speed, you can only float to the other side. Otherwise, you'll easily run out of energy and sink.

With the help of professionals, Xing Baohua saved a lot of effort. When they reached the other side, he was exhausted and panting heavily after finally climbing ashore. His chest also began to ache.

That afternoon, he became delirious and developed a high fever.

Liu Xingang had no choice but to wait for Xing Baohua's clothes to dry before continuing, as she was in a daze.

After crossing the river, they felt relieved. After all, being back on their own land made them feel especially safe.

They helped Xing Baohua continue walking, but all they could see were mountains and forests.

Liu Shengang thought to himself, "Oh no, we've entered the deep forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains!"
