The man was in so much pain that he could barely speak, his face pale.
"Lian Qi, please help him. Can't you see he can't move?"
"This trap is a bit troublesome. We need to go down the mountain and use tools to unlock it. You help him down." Gu Huai said.
Originally, Ding Meng left three people for Gu Huai. Now one was injured, and the other one had to follow him down the mountain.
Doesn't that mean there's only one person left? Including Gu Huai, there are only two.
If they really encountered bandits, I'm afraid the two of them would not be able to defeat them at all.
"Lian Qi, if you let them all go, what should we do? Or we can just stay here and wait for the sergeant to come back." Chen Qing said.
"No, Lin Sen has been arrested. I have to find out his whereabouts as soon as possible, otherwise he will be in danger." Gu Huai said.
Although Lin Sen is not a little girl and is not in danger of being insulted, this actually puts him in other dangers.
If those people knew that Lin Sen was a man, Lin Sen would be in a very dangerous situation.
He had to quickly find the bandits' lair and rescue Lin Sen.
Chen Qing thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Gu Huai glanced at Chen Qing and said, "If you're scared, you don't have to follow me. Just go down with them and wait for Wu Chang and the others."
Chen Qing's expression changed, and he looked at Gu Huai unhappily: "Lian Qi, who do you think I am? Am I such a coward?
Lin Sen is also my comrade-in-arms. If something happens to him, can I just stand by and watch?"
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Huai turned around, then suddenly thought of something and turned around again, pulling out a packet of medicine powder from his waist: "After we untie the trap, sprinkle this powder on his wound."
The man took the powder from Gu Huai and asked doubtfully, "Will this powder work?"
"You don't have to."
Gu Huai left after saying this.
Chen Qing glanced at the two men, hurriedly said "be careful" and turned to chase after Gu Huai.
"Is Chen Qing stupid? If I were him, I would have gone down the mountain with us long ago," said the injured man.
The other one nodded and said, "That's not the case. We knew we would die if we went up there."
They both knew what was going on, and just by looking at Ding Meng's expression they knew that things would not be that simple.
I'm afraid that Gu Huai will be in danger of death this time.
They would not follow him and die.
So just now, Gu Huai clearly told him not to go that way, but he deliberately went that way.
It's just a minor injury, it's better than going up and dying!
Gu Huai and his companions lost their way halfway through the pursuit. Seeing that they were getting further and further away, Chen Qing was afraid that there might be danger in the mountains, so he advised Gu Huai to wait until someone came.
There were only two of them, and it would be too dangerous to rashly clash with those people.
"I found the mark made by Lin Sen." Gu Huai said.
Chen Qingben was about to persuade Gu Huai to go down the mountain, but when he heard Gu Huai say this, he couldn't help but get excited: "Let's go find Lin Sen."
"I can go alone. You go down the mountain and wait for the sergeant. When you see them, tell them about the mark." Gu Huai said.
"No, we agreed to advance and retreat together, how can I abandon you?" Chen Qing said.
"You're only dragging me down. You might as well go down and wait for rescue." Gu Huai paused and pointed at the mark beside him and said, "Look at this mark carefully, and then go down."
Chen Qing moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he only said: "Then be careful. He gave the knife on his body to Gu Huai, and you use mine. Mine is more useful."
Gu Huai glanced at the knife in Chen Qing's hand and suddenly understood something.
"No need, I have my own weapons." Gu Huai said.
Chen Qing was stunned. He looked at Gu Huai's hands and his back, but he clearly had nothing, so where did the weapon come from?
"Didn't you bring a knife with you just now? Why is it gone?" Chen Qing thought to himself, could it be that Gu Huai already knew something?
"I'm not used to it, so I lost it." Gu Huai paused and said, "You'd better go down quickly. I'm leaving first."
Chen Qing said nothing more and hurried down the mountain.
He walked for a while and looked back, but Gu Huai had disappeared into the woods.
He sighed and hurried to the foot of the mountain.
When Chen Qing returned to the foot of the mountain, he only saw the two people who had just come down the mountain, but no one else.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Why haven't the sergeant and the others come yet?"
One of them sneered and said, "Don't you know what's going on? Do you think Sergeant and the others will really get here so quickly at this time?"
Chen Qing's expression changed. If these people knew about it, then Gu Huai should also know about it.
But he asked him to go down the mountain, and he went up the mountain alone.
Is he really not afraid of death?
"Chen Qing, what are you doing?! We finally came down, and now you're going up again?" Others couldn't help but get anxious when they saw him going up the mountain again.
"That's right, Chen Qing. Lian Qi has said that those people are not ordinary bandits. This journey will definitely be dangerous. Why would you seek death?"
"We are from the same team. Now that my companions are in trouble, I naturally have to help." Chen Qing said.
"You're not as good as Lian Qi, how can you help?!"
"One more person means one more pair of hands. Any help counts," said Chen Qing.
Chen Qing thought about it and told the two people about the mark he had just made, then walked up the mountain resolutely.
"Should we take care of him?" the injured man asked his other companion.
"You're injured, how can I just abandon you?" said another person.
But strangely enough, after he opened the trap and applied the powder that Gu Huai had given him, the wound on the man's leg really stopped bleeding, and the painful expression on his face disappeared.
"Forget it, we can't help much anyway."
Gu Huai quickly found the vicinity of the stronghold according to the marks left by Lin Sen.
There is a lookout tower at the entrance of the stronghold, with someone guarding it. In addition, there are two teams patrolling around the stronghold, changing shifts every half an hour.
He could still vaguely hear the shouting of training inside.
Gu Huai's expression couldn't help but stiffen.
His guess was absolutely correct. The situation here was very similar to the military camp where he was. The clothes and behavior of those people did not look like lazy bandits at all.
And he could see from the beginning that the weapons those people used were not weapons made by ordinary iron shops, but weapons made of fine steel like those used in the military camp where he was.
Who on earth set up such a large military camp here and pretended to be bandits to rob in order to hide their tracks?
If he knew this was the case, he would not have let Lin Sen take the risk.
If those people knew Lin Sen’s identity now, I’m afraid Lin Sen would be in great danger.
Gu Huai had been crawling in the grass, not knowing how long he had been waiting. As the sky gradually darkened, the sounds of training inside stopped.
