"Why don't I go back and get my weapons? That way we can feel more at ease when we look for it." Jiang Lan said after looking at my expression.
I looked at the distance we had walked and it wasn't very far, so I suggested, "Forget it, let's go back together!"
Jiang Lan quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's such a short distance, I can handle it alone."
"Okay, then go quickly and come back soon." Seeing that she was so persistent, I just went with her. After all, the distance was not far.
"Wait for me! Remember to wait until I come back and then we can go together!" Jiang Lan was still a little worried as she left, so she gave me some special instructions.
When I heard her say this, I didn't think much about it. After all, she was a girl and it was understandable that she was timid. I just urged her to go and come back quickly.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lan still got into an accident after such a short distance.
After Jiang Lan left for about ten minutes and she still hadn't come back, I started to have wild thoughts and started to worry that something had happened to her.
"No, I want to go back and check!" I was a little anxious, so I took Xiao Ding back to our camp.
After returning to the camp, I still found no trace of Jiang Lan.
"Brother, look, the haystacks here are so messy!" Xiao Ding pointed at a haystack with a horrified expression.
Only then did I realize that some of the bushes at the scene seemed to have signs of being crushed. It was obvious that someone had been pushed here, and the most likely person was Jiang Lan.
"Could it be that Jiang Lan encountered some danger?" Xiao Ding asked nervously.
I was also very anxious, but I forced myself to stay calm.
"Don't worry, let's follow the clues and then notify them to come back!" I said to Xiao Ding beside me.
So I lit a fire and used smoke to notify Fatty and the others to return to the camp.
"What's wrong!"
After a while, the fat man returned to the temporary camp. They were also surprised to see that there were only two of us left.
"I don't know. Jiang Lan said she would come back to get her weapons, but she disappeared. Maybe she went in the wrong direction. She will be fine." I pretended to be calm and comforted myself.
"But... okay, maybe we really went in the wrong direction. After all, there are no signs of fighting here. Then should we go find her quickly?" The fat man asked doubtfully.
In fact, the fat man understood why I said that. He just wanted to comfort himself, so he didn't expose me. In this way, he forced himself to stay calm so that he could find the lost Jiang Lan.
"Yes, we have to find her back, but we can't separate this time. It was my negligence just now, and I shouldn't have let Jiang Lan come back alone. This is also my fault!" I shook my head and sighed.
We searched the area for a long time, but found no trace of Jiang Lan, nor any signs of Jiang Chu.
"It's getting dark. I'll continue searching nearby. You guys just take a rest and prepare some food!" I said to Fatty, Jack, and Xiao Ding with a forced smile on my face.
I think Jiang Lan's disappearance was my mistake, so I have to take some responsibility and must bring Jiang Lan back.
"No, it's not safe for you to look for it alone. Let's go together. This way we can at least look after each other. Otherwise, what will happen if no one is found later?" The fat man knew what I was thinking and stood up and said.
I also knew what the fat man meant, so I agreed after thinking about it, but after this incident, my thinking became more mature.
"Okay! Let's find a place together, but there should be someone alone at night!" I said to them.
In the evening, we were all in a bad mood while eating because two people were suddenly missing from the team, and they were two girls.
"I'll be the one keeping watch tonight. After all, this was my mistake!" Seeing everyone in a low mood, I couldn't help but speak out.
After hearing these words, the fat man felt very uncomfortable, but he still nodded and took Xiao Ding into the tent to sleep.
I looked at the fat man's back as he left, and I really wanted to say something to him, but I didn't know where to start, so I didn't say anything.
At night, when everyone was almost asleep, Jack came over.
"Don't you think Jiang Lan is a little strange? Don't you doubt her?" Jack asked me seriously.
I was very surprised and a little unhappy because it was so obvious that I liked her and almost everyone knew it, and he still said that, but he really hit the nail on the head!
"As expected, as soon as I saw the look on your face, I knew you had the same idea as me. To be honest, I had already started to suspect her, but because I had no evidence and you had always been protecting Jiang Lan, I didn't tell anyone. Now it seems that her disappearance was not accidental!" Jack analyzed it to me in detail.
"Oh, then tell me, when did you start to doubt it?" I raised my eyebrows and asked.
In fact, if it weren’t for Jiang Lan’s series of actions this time, I wouldn’t have doubted her.
"First of all, the fact that she fainted, and you said she came back to get weapons, that's enough, but we just kept believing her. Of course, he stayed with our team for a long time afterwards, but if you were a spy, it wouldn't be surprising, right?"
Jack's words enlightened me, and I did think about what happened this time.
"But why does she do this? What are the benefits? And..." I expressed the doubts in my heart.
Jack couldn't find any reason to refute me, so he could only remain silent.
Like him, I fell silent.
"But! Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for being calm enough!" I looked into Jack's eyes and saw silence in his eyes, as if nothing could make him panic.
After being stared at by me like this, Jack frowned and turned his head to look away.
"Why are you...looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Jack felt that I was staring at him, and turned his head away, not wanting me to continue looking at him.
"No... I think you are too calm. What else can make you panic?" I said calmly.
In fact, I am speaking the truth. Jack's joining is very beneficial to me. I really like such a calm Jack.
After a while, Jack went into the tent to rest, and I stayed outside alone.
As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. A gentle breeze blew by, and I suddenly felt a little cold. I added some branches we had collected to the fire. There were too many branches at once, and the fire was a bit fierce. The thick smoke that came out after adding more was so thick that it made me cry and cough uncontrollably.
I couldn't help coughing a few times and quickly picked out a few with a rough branch.
