Qin Lan turned around angrily and left in the opposite direction, and I didn't stop her in the end.
After Qin Lan left, I didn't follow her immediately, but stayed there for a while.
The chaotic footsteps disappeared in front, and were replaced by thick and flat weeds. There were obvious signs of deliberate tidying around them. If my guess was correct, this should be a trap.
When digging a trap in such a place without any tools and with so many helpers, there is no doubt that the first person I thought of was Li Tianming. Good boy, you dare to occupy my nest. If I don’t give you a hard time, do you really think I’m a vegetarian?
I went around to the front of the trap and found some vines locally. I also found some sand shell grass nearby (which can cause rashes and unbearable itching if it touches the skin).
I spread the sand shell grass on the turf of the trap to protect myself from any accidents. I had suffered a great loss from this thing before, and I never wanted to try that feeling again.
After doing everything, I simply went back to the starting point and let them fill the hole they dug themselves.
I didn't dare stay here for too long. If I got separated from Qin Lan, I was really afraid that something might happen to this girl.
After I left, I searched around for a while and found Xiao Chen's portrait along the way. When I saw the portrait, my nerves immediately tensed up. To me, this was not a piece of cloth, but an alarm signal.
My subconscious mind tells me:
Qin Lan—something happened!
I simply put Xiao Chen's portrait on my body and hurriedly looked around. I admit that I was really panicked this time. Even when I was stranded on a deserted island and even when the old squad leader and Li Yuan were missing, I was not as panicked as I am now.
I understand that the first thing I need to do now is not to be impatient, but to calm myself down. My brain is now a mess, and if I don't calm down, I can't think of any solution.
Calm down, yes, I need to calm down.
It only took me about 10 minutes to set up the trap. This place is about 2 kilometers away from where we just separated. At my speed, I would be at least 7 or 8 minutes faster than Qin Lan to get here.
The surroundings are almost entirely covered with tall bushes. If they want to kidnap someone and walk together, they will definitely not be able to go through the jungle. They have no choice but to take this wasteland road. After calculating the time, I firmly believe that they will not be away from here for too long, and they will definitely not be able to walk fast with Qin Lan.
Having determined the direction, I hurried forward at full speed. I only hoped that Qin Lan would not lose a single hair before that, otherwise I would not forgive myself.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't see anyone after walking for more than ten minutes. It was already a long time since dusk, and the sky was gradually turning into a crescent moon.
Night is the most difficult time to find someone, but it is also the easiest time to find them.
There was a fire rising not far ahead, and I knew that was where Qin Lan was. In order to ensure that Qin Lan would not be harmed, I had to move towards them step by step.
As we got closer to the fire, the crowd became clearer and clearer. It was a group of five people, all of them were old men. I had seen them before. They had asked Qin Lan for food a few days ago. These shameless shareholders were just old men.
At this time, Qin Lan was tied to one side with vines, and five old guys were struggling to make a fire.
"The food is eaten up so quickly that I'm starving to death in the blink of an eye."
"Who says it's not true? I don't know how many lifetimes of bad luck I've had to end up in this place."
Several people were talking to each other, and I could hear them quite clearly.
"I've lived most of my life and never dreamed that one day I would eat human flesh."
"You think you're the only one who hasn't had this dream? But it's said that the flesh of this young girl tastes really delicious."
If I heard correctly, these old guys are planning to eat Qin Lan's flesh. Thinking of this, I also have some unkind and evil thoughts.
With such a beautiful woman in front of them, these old men didn't have any lust at all, but were thinking about how to eat her. It really shows that when people are extremely hungry, they can do anything.
After a few brief chats, the old man in the lead slowly approached Qin Lan with a red-hot knife.
"Don't blame us, niece. If we don't eat you, we'll starve to death. Just think of it as a way to show respect to the elders."
"Pah!"
Seeing the old man being so shameless, Qin Lan couldn't help but spit.
"How shameless! I have misjudged each and every one of you."
I was listening to their conversation from a distance, and my nose felt particularly uncomfortable, and I felt like sneezing. This girl was scolding me as well.
Although Qin Lan scolded him, there was still no anger on the old man's face.
"Haha, that cave halfway up the slope is yours, right?"
The old man looked at the fiery knife and chatted with Qin Lan freely.
"How...how do you know?"
Qin Lan became a little excited when talking about the cave.
"You are the ones who occupied our cave?"
"No, don't frame us for this."
Seeing that he was wronged by Qin Lan, the old man quickly waved his hands and denied it.
"To tell you the truth, that place was occupied by Li Tianming early this morning. He had already set a trap on the road in front of the cave, waiting for you to fall into it. So, today you will either fall into his hands or ours. You can't escape."
The old man had met Li Tianming on the way here. Since they really didn't have anything on them, just a few old bones, Li Tianming was too lazy to meet them, so they came here.
