Not long after, the car drove to the edge of a river.

Everyone got out of the car and filled the buckets with water, then repaired themselves for a while before continuing on their way.

Finally, we arrived at our destination when it was dark.

Another night later.

Day 3.

Early in the morning, after everyone finished breakfast and waited for the other party to go to work and load the goods, they set out on their journey back.

This time, Li Xu felt much more relaxed and happy.

It is worth mentioning that Su Weidong finally overcame his motion sickness and stopped vomiting.

Now he is also very kind to Li Xu.

That night, Li Xu and the other two were assigned to be on duty in the second half of the night.

Because of Liu Gang's warning, Li Xu also cheered up and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

I thought to myself that as long as I could get through today, I would be home tomorrow.

"Bang".

"Bang".

Li Xu was stunned when he suddenly heard two gunshots, and then his face changed drastically.

This was the sound coming from Xiao Jianping and his partner at the front of the car.

Li Xu hurriedly picked up the gun and carefully moved towards the front of the car.

At this time, the drivers who were sleeping in the car were also awakened, took their guns, got out of the car, and walked forward.

When they arrived at the front of the car, Li Xu and others saw Xiao Jianping and the other man standing there with pale faces.

He still held the gun in his hand, but his body was shaking slightly.

Everyone looked into the distance and didn't see any human figures, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no one wants a real gunfight to happen.

Everyone started asking what happened.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Jianping, who usually talks the most, couldn't say a word.

Instead, it was Su Weidong, who was usually taciturn, who began to narrate.

Only then did everyone realize that the two of them had been guarding and chatting in the car.

In fact, it was mainly Xiao Jianping who was talking and Su Weidong who was listening.

Su Weidong persuaded Xiao Jianping several times to pay more attention and stop talking.

But Xiao Jianping felt that nothing would happen, so he continued talking to himself and ignored the advice.

So Xiao Jianping focused more on speaking, and Su Weidong had also been warned by his teacher, so he focused more on observation.

As Xiao Jianping was talking, he suddenly saw Su Weidong open the safety of his pistol.

He hadn't realized what had happened yet and thought Su Weidong had opened it accidentally, and was just about to make a joke.

Then I heard a voice in my ear, "Turn on the safety, there is someone in the distance."

Xiao Jianping was startled and realized that someone was coming. He quickly opened the safety of the gun in his hand and looked into the distance.

When the two saw several figures sneaking towards them in the distance.

Su Weidong fired a shot into the air without saying a word, and Xiao Jianping also fired a shot.

I saw several figures in the distance stunned for a moment and then ran away quickly.

Next is what everyone saw when they arrived.

After all, it was the first time I encountered such a situation, so it was natural for my body to tremble due to fear.

Even Li Xu couldn't guarantee that he would be able to remain calm if it was his first time encountering such a situation.

After hearing Su Weidong's story, everyone's expressions looked much better.

Even Su Weidong's teacher, Master Song, had a smile on his face and praised him for doing a good job.

This made Su Weidong a little excited. After all, his teacher had been teased by others a lot because of his previous motion sickness.

Now after hearing the praise, I feel that I have not embarrassed the teacher.

However, Xiao Jianping's teacher, Master Qi, was not as kind as usual.

He was scolded harshly in front of everyone.

Xiao Jianping's tears fell.

But no one present spoke for him.

Even Li Xu felt the same way. He just felt that the scolding was justified and hoped that this time he could learn a lesson.

After all, before going on duty, everyone repeatedly emphasized that they must be serious when keeping watch. This is not only related to their own safety, but also the safety of the entire fleet.

After scolding them harshly, everyone told the three to remain vigilant in the future.

The three of them nodded repeatedly.

So everyone went back to sleep, and Li Xu also returned to his guard post.

After what happened just now, Li Xu increased his concentration significantly and didn't even dare to yawn.

Fortunately, the rest of the time was uneventful.

After Li Xu woke everyone up in the morning, everyone set off after breakfast.

Thinking that he would be able to get home today, Li Xu could hardly hide the smile on his face.

Liu Gang glanced at him and said, "What are you so happy about? You've been laughing since you got in the car."

"Uncle Liu, I'm just happy because I think I'll be home tonight."

"My boy, do you have any thoughts on what happened last night?"

Li Xu was stunned. "What's going on?"

Liu Gang said angrily, "How could you forget so quickly? How long has it been since you forgot? It was just about the gunshot."

Li Xu finally realized, "Oh, I think what you said is right, Uncle Liu. We must not slack off on night duty. If the two of them were talking at night and didn't see what was happening, the consequences would be disastrous."

Liu Gang nodded. "So Master Qi scolded Xiao Jianping for his own good. I hope he can learn from his mistakes."

Li Xu also agreed, and then asked, "Uncle Liu, how many days can we rest when we go back this time?"

"Two days."

After hearing the answer, Li Xu was very happy. Although it was not as long as he expected, it was still very good.

After all, in today's almost year-round working environment, a one- or two-day holiday can keep people excited for a long time.

It's time for lunch.

Li Xu and the other two were still sent out to collect branches.

But Li Xu suddenly found that Su Weidong was talking to Xiao Jianping, and Xiao Jianping did not answer.

Even when picking up branches, Xiao Jianping was walking alone in front.

Pulling on Su Weidong's sleeve, he asked quietly, "What's going on between you two?"

Su Weidong's expression wasn't looking good either. "What else could it be? He just felt that I shouldn't have told him about what he said last night, which resulted in him getting scolded. Can you blame me for that?"

Li Xu nodded, "I really don't blame you. This matter was originally his fault."

After hearing Li Xu's answer, Su Weidong's expression looked better.

At this time, Li Xu strode forward, caught up with Xiao Jianping, and said directly: "What's the matter? I heard that you are angry with Wei Dong now?"

Xiao Jianping didn't answer, but turned around and glanced at Su Weidong.

Li Xu spoke again, "Why are you looking at him? I'm not blind, can't I see it myself?"

Xiao Jianping still didn't say anything, turned around and continued picking up branches.

Li Xu continued, "You don't think Weidong should have reported you, do you?"

Only then did Xiao Jianping stop and look directly at Li Xu.

"Why do you think Weidong shouldn't tell others about this?"

Xiao Jianping remained silent.
