After watching Qin Lan return to the cave, I continued to enjoy the cool breeze outside.
When I was teased by this little girl Qin Lan, my heart felt like it was eating popping candy.
It was dancing happily, which made me, who always claimed to be calm, feel a little uncomfortable.
After calming down my restless heart a little, I slowly walked back to the cave.
After coming in, I saw Qin Lan resting against the innermost side of the cave.
After looking around, I had no choice but to go over and lie down next to her.
On the other side were the squad leader and Li Yuan. They were sleeping with their arms and legs spread out, leaving no room for me at all.
Besides, in their eyes, I am always guarding Qin Lan, so naturally they would not think of leaving a place for me.
There was a space left beside Qin Lan, as if it was specially reserved for me.
"Don't think too much about what happened just now. I just wanted to thank you." Qin Lan, who had her back to me, suddenly said this.
Hearing this, my body, which had just been lying down, stiffened and I replied, "Yeah, I know."
Yeah, that’s true. As a small bodyguard like me, they definitely look down on me.
After I figured it out, my body immediately relaxed and I fell asleep.
When I woke up early in the morning, I found that I was the only one still sleeping.
"Are you up?"
I had just finished stretching when I woke up and saw Qin Lan coming back from washing up outside. She smiled and said to me.
"Yeah." I responded, and then quickly rubbed my eyes. Hey, it feels like Qin Lan has become gentler?
"What are you daydreaming about? Go wash up quickly. We've been waiting for you. Why are you so slow?"
Huh? Sure enough, it recovered instantly. It must have been my imagination.
This woman is so scary, I muttered and walked outside.
After finishing breakfast, put some dry food in the backpack.
Our team of four started off again.
This time, we still followed yesterday's path and groped our way south.
I'd also like to see if those people from yesterday are still trapped there.
The paths in the mountains and jungles are generally narrow.
So the squad leader and Li Yuan were in the front exploring the way, Qin Lan and I were in the back, and I was responsible for covering their rear.
We walked slowly one after the other, and Qin Lan and I chatted casually.
"Wait, something's happening." The squad leader suddenly stopped.
I saw the squad leader squatting down, and when I heard something was happening, I hurried over.
"There's blood." The squad leader touched a blade of grass with his hand, then put it to his nose and sniffed it.
"Look, there too." I said, pointing to a blade of grass in front of me.
"Well, this bloodstain has been there for a while. Look, some of it has solidified." The squad leader looked carefully at the leaves and the ground next to him.
"Well, let's be careful. It seems something is happening around here." Li Yuan said.
Just in case, I took out the knife from my body and handed it to the squad leader.
At the same time, I gave him a reassuring look, implying to him that I carried a weapon with me and would take it out at any time if there was any danger.
Li Yuan held a sharpened bamboo stick, ready at any time.
As for me, if I encounter a situation, I can always take out the gun hidden behind my waist.
After all, we can't be careless at this time.
So we kept walking forward along the blood trail.
In this way, we went from seeing drops of blood to seeing a blood flow path.
"With so much blood, a human would probably not survive." I said to myself, staring at the bloodstains on the ground.
Following the blood flow line, I arrived at an intersection. There was no expected danger of fighting, but I saw a very disgusting scene there.
Qin Lan and Li Yuan, who had been walking in front of me, suddenly saw such an exciting scene. They covered their mouths and lay down under a tree to vomit.
I followed their gaze and saw a person lying in the messy thorns. To be more precise, it was a corpse.
The body was covered with wounds and its clothes were torn several times by the thorns nearby.
But the most fatal thing was that several parts of his body seemed to have been completely bitten off, leaving him with a bloody mess.
But you can vaguely see the white bones from the wounds.
There were a few flies flying around the corpse, buzzing.
Resisting the intense discomfort, I found a branch and turned the man's head over.
"Isn't this it?" I asked in surprise when I saw the man's face.
"Do you know him? It looks like this guy has most likely encountered a wild beast." said the squad leader.
"I've met this man a few times, Fan Kun. He has always been with Li Tianming. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." I replied.
"I saw them yesterday. Alas, where are the remaining two?" Qin Lan had recovered by now. She walked to my side and said with a bit of regret.
"Those two cowards, haha, they probably ran away a long time ago." I said coldly.
"If we hadn't brought them here yesterday, would they not have done it?" Qin Lan said dejectedly.
"Miss Qin, could you please stop being so sensitive? You never know where the wild beasts in the mountains will appear." I said unhappily.
"Even if it has no direct relationship with us, it is indirectly related." Qin Lan said stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, you are right." I responded.
I'm too lazy to argue with Qin Lan. Women tend to be soft-hearted and put themselves in the situation when they see this kind of scene.
But now there are more and more people in the deep jungle, and this kind of death scene has just begun. I will get used to it gradually.
