Jiang Li and Gu Jin also sat down, as a way of giving Captain Wang face.
Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both sides had sat down. He was really afraid that Jiang Li and his group would make a move.
After that, everyone got along peacefully and no further conflicts occurred.
After resting, the group continued upwards. When they reached the location Captain Wang had described, they indeed saw signs of a fight.
Everyone was on high alert, fearing that wild boars might suddenly appear, but fortunately nothing happened, so they continued on their way.
After a whole day, the group had only covered one-third of the mountain's distance, which shows how big the mountain was.
By evening, Jiang Li and his companions had not encountered any danger. They occasionally encountered some small animals, but they did not even see a wild boar, let alone anything else.
Captain Wang immediately decided to spend the night there, since traveling on the mountain at night was very dangerous.
Everyone is responsible for their own area, but they cannot stray too far apart, lest they be unable to keep an eye on each other in case of danger.
Jiang Li and the others chose a place that was relatively far away from Chen Sisi and the others, fearing that it would affect their intelligence.
After clearing the snow, they set up the tents. Jiang Li and his group brought three tents: one for Shi Lin and Shi Yuan, one for Fang Qingxun and Gu Jin, and one for Fu Xiaxia and Jiang Li. This way, they could carry more supplies in their backpacks.
Jiang Li couldn't use the space freely outside, so everyone carried their own belongings.
A fire was lit in front of the tent, which served two purposes: to keep warm and to some extent to deter wild animals.
The group gathered around the fire, taking out food to eat. Jiang Li and the others ate compressed biscuits and drank water from their thermos cups.
Compressed biscuits can fill your stomach without taking up much space, making them very convenient to carry when going out.
"Thank goodness we made some jerky, otherwise it would be so boring to just eat this."
After finishing the biscuits, Fang Qingxun took out the pork jerky that Jiang Li and the others had made a few days ago from her backpack. Fang Qingxun ate the spicy flavor, and the numbing and spicy taste spread on her tongue as soon as she took a bite.
The others also took out dried meat to treat themselves. Although compressed biscuits could fill their stomachs, they just didn't taste good.
"What are you eating? It looks delicious."
Captain Wang walked over with a thermos cup in his hand.
"Pork jerky."
Fu Xiaxia answered Captain Wang's question while eating.
"You made it yourself? You were making this in the yard a few days ago, weren't you?"
"yes."
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious."
"Give me one."
"No."
Captain Wang...
I thought this little girl would be easy to fool, but it seems I won't be.
"Then can I use my points to buy it from you guys?"
"Sure, but you'll have to ask Jiang Li. She has a lot. I only brought a little myself, and it's not even enough for me."
Fu Xiaxia said to Jiang Li that all the dried meat was with Jiang Li, and she didn't have much with her.
“Okay, Jiang Li, I’ll buy it with you. You tell me how many points.”
Jiang Li took a small bag out of his backpack and handed it to Captain Wang.
"This bag is worth 20 points."
"What?! This little thing costs 20 points? A wild boar only costs 100 points!!!"
Captain Wang looked at the small bag of dried meat that Jiang Li handed him and said with a pained expression.
"Captain Wang, that's not how it works. Look at this bag of pork jerky. We spent a lot of time and effort making it. And Captain Wang, you know how rare this seasoning is. We put in a lot of effort to make it. 20 points is really not expensive."
Jiang Li continued to deceive Captain Wang, saying that they had indeed spent a lot of time making the dried meat.
"Okay, 20 points it is. I'll give them to you when I get back to base."
Hearing what Jiang Li said, it really wasn't easy. It's a bit expensive, but I don't need those 20 points. It's just that I have a sweet tooth.
"OK."
Captain Wang Jiang is still reassured.
Captain Wang took the jerky Jiang Li handed him, and eagerly picked up a piece to eat. Hmm, the taste was indeed good, much better than dry, hard steamed buns. It was definitely worth it.
He happily carried the dried meat back to his tent.
After everyone finished dinner and chatted for a while, they prepared to rest.
Captain Wang asked for someone to take night shifts, but Jiang Li and the others were not comfortable with it, so apart from Jiang Li and Fu Xiaxia, the other four took turns taking shifts.
Jiang Li greeted Gu Jin, and then went into the tent to rest with Fu Xiaxia.
At night, the forest was silent. Around midnight, a light snow began to fall. The moonlight illuminated the forest, making the surroundings less dark. The scene was very beautiful, but no one was there to appreciate it.
"Get up quickly, there are wolves."
Shi Yuan woke everyone up. Jiang Li and the others woke up as soon as they heard the noise, since no one dared to sleep too soundly in the wild.
Everyone quickly ran out of the tent. Jiang Li came out to find Gu Jin and the others already outside.
The people in the other tents had also been woken up and came out one after another.
As soon as Jiang Li came out, he saw pairs of green eyes all around him. A pack of wolves was watching them intently; they were surrounded by wolves.
When Chen Sisi came out, she saw a pack of wolves surrounding the tent. She screamed in fright, and the wolves became even more agitated after hearing her scream.
"Shut up if you don't want to die."
Jiang Li stared coldly at Chen Sisi, feeling utterly infuriated by this stupid woman.
Chen Sisi was scolded by Jiang Liyi and immediately shut her mouth.
The men quickly grabbed their weapons to defend themselves.
"Turn up the fire."
Captain Wang ordered everyone to add firewood to the fire, and sure enough, after the fire got bigger, the wolf pack retreated a bit.
