The other side
Deep in the dense grass, there is a cave hidden.
The sunlight struggled to penetrate through layers of green leaves, sprinkling mottled light on the cave entrance. Inside the cave, six people sat together, their faces full of solemn expressions.
Five of them had obvious bloodstains on their faces, as if they had experienced a fierce battle.
Among them, a man was lying limply on the ground, covered in blood. If you didn't look closely, you would almost think he had lost his life due to excessive blood loss.
His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his clothes were soaked in blood, looking horrifying.
"What should we do?" A voice sounded in the cave, filled with deep worry and uneasiness. "I wonder how the boss is doing now."
When everyone heard the word "boss", they fell silent for a moment.
In order to protect them, the boss led away the people who were chasing them.
Furthermore, he was seriously injured and his life was in danger. In that situation, the chances of survival were indeed very small.
"Damn those dog spies!" a burly man suddenly roared, "One day I'm going to destroy their lair and let them know how powerful we are!"
His voice was filled with anger and hatred, but then he realized his current situation and his voice gradually lowered.
"Leopard, keep your voice down!" the person opposite him quickly warned, "We don't know the situation outside right now. If we are discovered, it will be really troublesome. No matter what, we must fight to protect Mr. He."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that the most important thing now was to remain calm and alert, and not let anyone outside notice their whereabouts.
The leopard paced on the ground restlessly, his face full of worry. Looking at Xiaoliu who was dying on the ground, his heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness.
He looked up at the calm and composed man opposite him. That was Eagle Ear, the brains of their team. He looked at him.
"Second brother, what do you think we should do next?" Leopard tried his best to make his voice sound calmer, but there was still a hint of trembling in his tone.
He pointed at the bloodied and weak Xiaoliu on the ground and continued, "Xiaoliu is almost dying. We can't just watch him die!"
Ying'er lowered his head, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.
He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a deep voice: "Leopard, Heizi, the two of you take Xiaoliu and Mr. He and go to the left. Langya and I will cover your rear."
Upon hearing this decision, Heizi immediately stood up excitedly and said, "No, second brother! The boss is missing. What should we do if something happens to you again?" There was a hint of tears in his voice.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent all the time spoke.
His voice was steady and powerful, "Everyone go to the left, I'm familiar with it, take the small road." His eyes swept over the crowd.
The five people's eyes widened after hearing this, clearly surprised by Mr. He's decision. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Mr. He, are you serious? Then what happened the day before yesterday..."
Mr. He sighed softly, "I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't think of it yesterday and made you suffer." There was a hint of apology in his tone.
Eagle Ear nodded after hearing this. "Okay, I'll listen to Mr. He." He turned to Leopard and said, "Leopard, you carry Xiaoliu on your back. Langya, you walk at the back and I'll lead. The rest of you walk in the middle."
"Yes, Second Brother," Leopard replied, immediately squatting down to carry Xiaoliu on his back. Heizi supported Mr. He, and the others carefully exited the cave. Fortunately, they didn't notice anything unusual.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to follow Mr. He's instructions to take a shortcut.

Yun Family
Yun Shu has been uneasy ever since she heard Zuo Xing talk about clues about her man.
She was distracted from time to time while cutting wheat, her heart filled with worry and anxiety.
Su Mianmian looked at the man who was helping her harvest wheat and couldn't help asking, "Do you think that Mr. He is Aunt Shu's husband?"
Shen Yuandao nodded, "Eighty percent."
The two were chatting here when the captain suddenly came over.
The captain's serious face appeared behind them.
The two men immediately stopped talking and looked up at the captain in confusion.
The captain looked at the two men, his expression grave. He glanced around, then fixed his gaze on them. "Did you bring that soldier home? Oh, and I asked around today. No one in our brigade or any of the other brigade's have seen the bald man and his men."
Su Mianmian's heart tightened, but she nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, Captain, we took him home. He was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital because of his injuries, and he had nowhere to go after being discharged, so we..."
The captain interrupted her before she could finish, saying, "You are so confused! Not only do you not know whether that soldier is in danger, but you yourselves may also be in danger." He became more and more excited as he spoke, and was obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.
Su Mianmian felt a little guilty after hearing what the captain said, but she still mustered up the courage to explain:
"Uncle Captain, listen to me. Comrade Zuo said he has sent a telegram requesting support, and the reinforcements will arrive soon. We believe in him, and we also believe in the strength of our military comrades."
After hearing this, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone remained serious:
"That's good. But you still have to be careful. You're all women, what if something happens to you?"
When Su Mianmian heard this, she felt warm in her heart.
She knew the captain was concerned about them, so she nodded solemnly: "Uncle Captain, don't worry, we will pay attention. We will also protect ourselves and our fellow soldiers and prevent them from getting hurt."
The captain smiled with satisfaction: "Don't thank me. If you can just behave yourself and not cause any trouble, that will be your true gratitude."
Su Mianmian chuckled. A lot of things did happen after they came to this brigade, which made the brigade captain very annoyed.
"Okay, you two continue. I was sorry for disturbing you just now." He said as he turned around and walked away with a smile on his face.
He was also an experienced person, so how could he not see that the atmosphere between the two young people was different.
It’s great to be young!
After Su Mianmian heard what the captain said, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. She stared at Shen Yuan with wide eyes and said, "When did the captain uncle start to make fun of people?"
Shen Yuandao looked at Su Mianmian's cute and surprised look, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. With a hint of a teasing smile, he said, "I just learned it today."
When Su Mianmian heard Shen Yuandao's answer, she punched him decisively and scolded him, "Just talk nonsense!"
Afterwards, she ignored Shen Yuandao, walked up to the two little guys, and helped them pick up wheat ears.
