The instructor of Shen Ao's company was a tall and thin man in his thirties, wearing a pair of flat-framed glasses. He looked like a cultured man and spoke in a very elegant manner.
He is considered to be Fang Qingquan's confidant left in Shen Ao's company.
Chen Ao knew that Fang Qingquan probably had something to say to Instructor Jiang alone, so he tactfully said goodbye and left.
After Chen Ao, Bai Ying and the others left, Fang Qingquan told them the reason why he kept Instructor Jiang, and also left him a radio set.
"Instructor Jiang, I have a mission for you. Keep an eye on the situation in the rear and pass on any news to me..."
Instructor Jiang hadn't expected Fang Qingquan to actually give him such a task, and couldn't help but ask, "Captain Fang, you're asking me to do this. Could it be that the rumors about Captain Shen possibly colluding with enemy agents are true?"
Fang Qingquan neither denied nor confirmed, but simply said, "Just do it if I tell you to. Why are there so many problems? Remember, don't tell Shen Ao about this."
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Instructor Jiang said passionately.
Captain Fang actually entrusted him with such an important task, he had to do it well and absolutely could not let Captain Fang down!
If he succeeded, he would most likely be the first to expose Shen Ao's true identity as a spy, and he would definitely be commended by his superiors, and might even be awarded a second-class merit.
Thinking of this, Instructor Jiang instantly became energetic, and he wanted to grab Chen Ao's pigtails immediately and report the information to Fang Qingquan.
Watching Instructor Jiang leave, he was so excited that he walked with trembling hands and feet.
Fang Qingquan frowned slightly, and fell into deep doubt. "Did I assign the wrong person? Can this guy do it? Don't let that wolf cub Shen Ao gnaw him to pieces."
——
As Fang Qingquan led the large group on a quick journey, it didn't take long for Shen Ao's group to become a long distance away from the main group, and their figures could no longer be seen in the distance.
Bai Ying and He Shiwen in the team were also busy. Among the soldiers who fell behind, some suffered from heatstroke, some were bitten by snakes, some accidentally fell and sprained their ankles, and some were even stung by wasps while peeing...
The two men were busy carrying medicine boxes and moving through the crowd.
Chen Ao was also not idle. The company now accommodated more than a hundred people. They had been traveling for half a day, so it was time to take a break.
Shen Ao issued orders to the kitchen staff to prepare lunch.
Count the number of people, calculate the amount of food to cook, build a temporary stove, and find dry firewood nearby...
He also had to arrange personnel to guard the surroundings, so he had no time to take care of Bai Ying for a while.
It’s strange to say, Instructor Jiang has been staring at him, as if monitoring his every move.
Shen Ao frowned, looked up suspiciously and said, "Instructor Jiang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"No, nothing, I'm just wandering around."
Instructor Jiang shuddered inwardly when Chen Ao stared at him, and tried to remain calm on the surface. However, his legs, which were shaking like sieves, mercilessly exposed his inner guilt.
"By wandering around, you mean circling around me all the time?"
Shen Ao was slightly speechless.
Didn’t he say that Fang Qingquan arranged someone to keep an eye on him? Why couldn’t he choose someone more reliable?
It's no wonder that Chen Ao realized this immediately. The main reason was that when Instructor Jiang left Fang Qingquan's main unit, he was carrying a huge backpack. He looked so guilty, which was really unique.
It was so obvious, if he still couldn't see it, Shen Ao thought it would be better for him to take off the skin.
"Instructor Jiang, can you please go somewhere else? You've been standing in front of me for half an hour and it's making me dizzy." Shen Ao finally couldn't help but speak out.
"Oh, okay, I'll change places then."
Instructor Jiang responded quickly and obediently moved to another place, but he didn't stay there for long before he came back and stared at Shen Ao at a distance of less than five meters.
Chen Ao: “…” I’m convinced.
His brows furrowed in displeasure. Shen Ao's patience had completely run out. He was about to confront Instructor Jiang when an urgent cry suddenly came from not far away.
"Captain Shen, something's happened! Doctor Bai and the others fell into the river!"
The soldier who was responsible for reporting the news had been running all the way here and was already out of breath, which showed that the situation was very urgent.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the news, Shen Ao no longer cared about following the soldiers in the kitchen to set up the stove. He quickly stood up and said, "Where is it? Take me there!"
——
Half an hour ago.
Bai Ying and He Shiwen finally managed to treat all the injured soldiers. Because several soldiers had external injuries, both of them had blood on their hands.
They both like to be clean and can't stand stains on their hands, especially when they have to eat soon!
Considering that the boiled water in the kettle was limited and could not be wasted, the two of them agreed to go to the river below the hillside to wash their hands.
Seeing Bai Ying and He Shiwen wash their hands, take off their shoes, and wash the mud off their feet, the young soldier who followed them to protect them felt embarrassed to follow them and stood on the hillside at a distance.
It is summer and there is plenty of rain. It rained a few days ago, and the river is quite turbulent. The water is rolling up waves and converging downstream.
However, the river water was still clear, and many fish from upstream swam here along the current. Bai Ying and He Shiwen saw several of them while they were washing their hands and feet.
He Shiwen finished washing first. She stared at a cluster of water plants close to the shore. The water surface was slightly rippling, and small bubbles were rising from the bottom. There seemed to be something inside...
