Ma Xiaoyong, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He remembered that Tian Fugui had punched him mercilessly just now and it still hurt.
At the moment, he didn't want to anger Tian Fugui again, lest he get punched again. So, his brain raced a few times, and Ma Xiaoyong quickly found an excuse.
"Well...you guys chat first! I'll go to the mountains and take a look. Maybe I can find Brother Zhao and pick him up." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyong turned around and ran into the bushes without waiting for Tian Fugui's response. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Tian Fugui, still realizing it belatedly, waved his hands impatiently and said, "Get out of here! Don't hang around under my nose anymore."
He Han said, "Squad leader, please stop talking. He hasn't seen you for a long time. It's pointless to talk."
Tian Fugui said unhappily, "It's all Zhao Lihan's fault."
He Han smiled and said, "Squad Leader, don't be angry. Although Ma Xiaoyong's words are a bit mean, what he said is also true!"
Tian Fugui said impatiently, "Hey! You're all coming at me, and I'm the unreasonable one!"
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking about those nonsense. Tell me what instructions the commander has given you."
He Han said, "I just received a telegram. The commander said that he has confirmed all the movements of the enemy spies, and they are in our current area. He told us to hurry and find the treasure cave before the enemy. Then, we should protect the scene and wait for orders."
Tian Fugui, without waiting for He Han to finish speaking, snatched the telegram from his hand, read it carefully, and then returned the telegram to He Han.
He said with difficulty, "It's really difficult to search such a vast primeval forest with only a dozen of us soldiers! Zhao Lihan hasn't come back yet. Do you think it's urgent?"
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyong led Daya out of breath, running while shouting: "Squad leader, squad leader!"
Tian Fugui said impatiently: "This kid, the voice has arrived before the person has arrived."
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the swaying branches across the street. Everyone held their breath, staring at the forest with curiosity...
Not long after, Ma Xiaoyong emerged from the woods with a grin on his face. Behind him was a girl. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at them in surprise.
Everyone asked in unison: "Ma Xiaoyong, what are you doing?"
When Tian Fugui saw Ma Xiaoyong leading a girl, he was furious and cursed: "You kid, you really deserve to be beaten. At this time, you are still leading a girl..."
His eyes widened in anger, he shouted something loudly, and then he rushed forward like an enraged bull! Then, he jumped high and kicked with all his strength, the swift wind of his foot hitting Ma Xiaoyong directly!
This sudden attack frightened Ma Xiaoyong, who was originally in high spirits. He was terrified, his face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He was still thinking in his heart: "Squad leader, what's going on?"
In a panic, he had no time to react and could only turn around instinctively and run desperately behind He Han.
As he ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Squad Leader, don't hit me! Please don't do it! I know where Brother Zhao is, I really know! Please stop first..."
Tian Fugui, who was so angry that his face turned red and veins on his forehead were bulging, raised his thigh high and was about to kick Ma Xiaoyong hard when he suddenly heard him say that there was news about Zhao Lihan!
His anger, like a lit firecracker, was instantly extinguished as if by a basin of cold water, and he froze in place.
After a while, he came to his senses and rushed to Ma Xiaoyong. He grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands and asked with a trembling voice, "Stinky boy, what did you just say? Is there any news about Zhao Lihan? Is this true? Tell me quickly, where is he now?"
Ma Xiaoyong yelled with a bitter face, "Oh, squad leader, please have some mercy! You're squeezing me too hard! If you keep squeezing me like that, I'm going to die!"
"Squad leader, Brother Zhao, I don't know exactly where it is. Only this girl knows. I have asked her, but she refused to tell me. She said she would only tell me after seeing you, squad leader!" After saying that, he did not forget to nod at the girl standing in the distance, motioning everyone to look at her.
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Daya, who was standing nearby. Feeling the intense gazes, Jiang Daya instantly became uneasy. Her already watery eyes shyly avoided meeting anyone's gaze, and she lowered her head slightly, as if trying to find a hole to crawl into.
Tian Fugui, seeing Jiang Daya's frightened look, waved his hands and said to everyone, "Alright, stop looking at the little girl like that. Didn't you see? She's afraid of you hungry wolves..."
He then walked towards Jiang Daya and said softly, "Girl, don't be afraid. They won't hurt you. Do you know where Zhao Lihan is?"
Daya nodded timidly.
When Tian Fugui heard that she knew Zhao Lihan's whereabouts, he was instantly overwhelmed with uncontrollable excitement. He rushed forward, stretched out his hands, and tightly grasped Daya's arms, asking anxiously, "Quick! Tell me, how is he? Is he okay?"
This sudden action frightened Daya greatly. She stared at the beast-like man in front of her with wide eyes and a face full of horror. Her body involuntarily retreated back repeatedly, trying to break free from Tian Fugui's strong restraint, but to no avail.
At this moment, the soldiers standing nearby all turned their gazes in this direction. Upon seeing the squad leader's actions, they couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, whispering to each other in low tones, and occasionally letting out bursts of low laughter. The laughter, though not loud, was filled with playfulness and ridicule.
Ma Xiaoyong even opened his mouth and shouted: "Squad leader! Don't just blame us. Look at yourself, you are almost scaring people to death by doing this!" As he spoke, he winked at the squad leader with a mischievous expression on his face.
Ma Xiaoyong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tian Fugui's head, causing him to come back to his senses instantly as if he had suddenly been enlightened.
He hurriedly loosened the hand that had been tightly holding the other person's hand, and at the same time unconsciously took two steps back, as if he was afraid of offending the girl in front of him again.
