Chapter 211 Waist Bag
When Qin Yi returned to the room, Su Tong was still sleeping.
Chen Yunfeng reported Su Tong's situation to him in a low voice.
Qin Yi stood by the kang and stared at Su Tong for a moment, then told Chen Yunfeng and Zhou Jin to guard the place, and left.
As if he had set an alarm, Su Tong woke up two hours later. He looked much more energetic, but still very weak.
Chen Yunfeng told her that the plan had been postponed and the departure time was to be determined, and asked her to have a good rest.
Su Tong knew that she would not be able to last long in her current state even if she set out on the journey. After taking the solid glucose prepared by Chen Yunfeng, she asked Zhou Jin to get her waist bag. The pills in the bag could help her recover quickly.
It was not until then that everyone realized that Su Tong's waist bag was missing.
Everyone was in a hurry to save people last night and no one noticed if anything was left behind. Maybe it fell somewhere in the chaos.
Zhou Jin said: "Sister, it's okay, I'll go get it back for you."
The waist bag is just for convenience. It contains some small things. I only put a few pills of each kind in it. Most of the things are placed in the backpack and can be lost if lost.
Su Tong was about to say there was no need to look for it, but when he turned his head, he saw his small flashlight and notebook were placed next to his pillow.
"Why are the flashlight and notebook here?"
Chen Yunfeng recalled:
"They should have been brought back by Lin Li when he sent you back yesterday. These two things fell outside at that time."
All the things that fell outside were brought back, but the waist bag tied around my waist was lost.
Su Tong always felt that something was strange.
Zhou Jin said again: "Sister, I'll go look for it and will be back soon."
Su Tong did not stop him and said to him:
"Don't go alone. Take a look at the hole to see if there is my needle bag. Remember to move quickly when you go down. The concentration of carbon dioxide in there is very high."
Chen Yunfeng said, "Get Sister Lan's backpack first. Sister Lan needs to take medicine."
Zhou Jin nodded in agreement, and soon he got his backpack and went to the pit again.
When Zhou Jin went to the pit, he went with Lin Li. He found Su Tong's needle bag but did not find the waist bag.
After Lin Li came back, he said, "I thought about it carefully and confirmed that your waist bag was not with you when I found you last night."
If the waist bag was on Su Tong's waist at the time, it would be very conspicuous during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and everyone would definitely notice it.
Su Tong rubbed his forehead, recalled carefully for a moment and said:
"I can also confirm that my waist bag was still on me before I passed out. So it was that A-Feng who opened the wooden board and took my waist bag after I passed out."
She carefully recalled the things in her waist bag. Apart from a few kinds of pills, there were also needle and thread, a compass, cooling oil, a whistle, toilet paper, and the only valuable thing was a flashlight, which was not put in there.
Besides, when he went to get the waist bag, why didn’t he take the flashlight as well?
If he wants to run away, wouldn't a flashlight be more useful?
He burned the ancestral hall at night despite his injuries. Did he go through so much trouble just for a wallet?
Su Tong just felt that his mind was a little confused, groggy and as if he was about to explode.
Seeing that her expression was not right, Chen Yunfeng hurriedly said:
"Sister Lan, don't think about it! Get some rest! You need to recover quickly."
Around noon, the people sent out by the village to capture Afeng returned one after another.
Even though they were more familiar with the environment here, they were unable to catch Afeng.
A Feng escaped completely.
At noon, several elders in the village came forward and invited Ma Liu and Qin Yi, and solemnly handed them a piece of pottery. It was an irregular piece of pottery covered with patterns.
The older elder said, "This piece of pottery is very important. Please keep it safe. It will be useful later."
Then he took out a roll of cowhide with a map on it.
The map records the distribution and routes of several nearby villages. The outermost edge of the map is connected to Hongwa Village. In other words, this map fills in the part that is not drawn on the outside maps.
"This map is hand-drawn and unknown to outsiders. This is the greatest sincerity we can show!"
The elder said sincerely: "Please rest assured, dear guests, we will follow the rules of the tribe to offer sacrifices to the mountain to ask for forgiveness from our ancestors and the mountain god. It was she who let the wolf into the house, causing the tribe's ancestral hall to be burned, and almost hurting the guests. This is an unforgivable crime.
As for that Afeng, he is not from the village. If he dares to come back, we will never let him go. If you meet him outside, please do not show mercy."
The words came from the heart and made sense.
Qin Yi said nothing more and accepted the pottery fragments and the map with a serious face.
When Su Tong woke up again, it was already dark.
After getting enough sleep and taking medication, she felt much better and felt that most of her physical strength had been restored.
Chen Yunfeng and Zhou Jin were still guarding her in the room.
Su Tong asked: "Where is Brother Yi? Why haven't I seen him?"
"Oh! The boss and his men have been busy, negotiating with the villagers, collecting information, verifying routes and so on."
Su Tong woke up several times but didn't see Qin Yi, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
She felt guilty for delaying her original plan. Although she knew Qin Yi might not blame her, she still wanted to give him an explanation in person.
Qin Yi never showed up.
Before going to bed at night, Su Tong asked Zhou Jin to tell Qin Yi that he had almost recovered and there would be no problem leaving tomorrow.
Zhou Jin sent back a message: "The boss told you to have a good rest, and you don't have to set off too early tomorrow."
After saying this, he began to sleep on the floor, ready to continue his night watch.
Su Tong felt a little disappointed. It seemed that Qin Yi would not come back to sleep tonight.
She felt that Qin Yi was a little abnormal this time...
Are you angry with yourself? Or are you disappointed?
The situation last night was indeed too dangerous, and no team leader would want to see this happen.
well……
——————
It's late at night.
Qin Yi stood under a locust tree in front of an old house and almost finished a whole box of cigarettes.
He is not addicted to smoking, but he has the habit of lighting a cigarette when he is thinking about something.
Later, after he was injured, Lao Mu suggested that he quit smoking.
He sometimes carried cigarettes in his pocket, but no matches, and whenever he wanted to smoke he would take them out and smell them.
But tonight, his thoughts were too chaotic and he needed something to suppress them.
He has been in the army for nine years and in the special operations team for five years. Gunfire, bullets, swords, and seas of fire are commonplace to him. His character has long been tempered like steel, and he remains calm even under pressure.
Only by keeping a calm and clear mind at all times can you calmly face various emergencies, make the most correct judgments quickly, and find opportunities to complete tasks of various difficulty levels in the face of difficulties.
But last night...
But he panicked.
He lost the calmness and rationality that he was most proud of.
When Su Tong didn't wake up, his own heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
When Su Tong woke up, his heart also experienced a great ups and downs. He was filled with the feelings of surviving a disaster and regaining what he had lost at the same time.
There were female soldiers in the military region, and he had performed missions with female comrades more than once, and even witnessed the sacrifice of female comrades with his own eyes, but at that time he would feel grief, anger, and powerlessness...
But none of them were like this... panic, or even out of control.
At that moment, he realized...
There is something wrong with my heart.
Qin Yi lowered his head and lit another cigarette.
He needs to take some time to sort out his emotions.
