He calmed down and said, "Aunt, don't you see what kind of environment I grew up in?"
"I was tricked by Xiao Ming and targeted by Xiao Yuanhe and his wife. If I hadn't learned my lesson, I would have died countless times."
"Children from poor families have to grow up early, kid. You have suffered too much injustice in the past." Wen Wan's nose felt sore and she held Xiao Chen's hand.
Xiao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Wan's question just now, "Did you come back from the future?", really scared him to death.
It’s better not to let anyone know this secret, even the closest people around you.
Wen Wan would certainly not harm herself, but who knows what kind of butterfly effect will be caused once this secret is exposed?
"Is there any news about my dad?" Xiao Chen changed the subject.
Wu Ming had told him before that the last place his father and his teammates disappeared was the edge of the Bonong rainforest.
Moreover, they were previously hunted by a group of unidentified mercenaries from abroad, so they should temporarily enter the rainforest.
But so many days have passed and there is still no news from them, which makes Xiao Chen a little worried.
"There's no news from Wu Ming about your father yet." Wen Wan stood up and said, "But don't worry, nothing will happen to Xiao Gucheng."
Wen Wan looked at Xiao Chen and murmured, "How could he die like this when your family of three hasn't even been reunited yet?"
Outside the country, deep in the rainforest.
A few more days passed, and Xiao Zhao, who had a broken leg, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
The last glimpse of clarity before his death made him very clear-headed.
There was a hint of redness on his thin face, or rather an abnormal flush.
"Xiao Zhao, hold on a little longer." Zhang Jian hugged Xiao Zhao, his eyes red.
"Brother Jian..." Xiao Zhao's lips moved. Due to lack of water, his lips were chapped.
He forced a smile and said, "As agreed, I'll be your best man at your wedding."
"We agreed that it must be you, it must be you." Zhang Jian's eyes were red. "Hold on a little longer, we'll find a way to get back."
"The medical level in this country is advanced. You will be fine. You will be fine."
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said with difficulty: "Brother, I'm too tired, really too tired."
"Don't sleep, don't sleep. The captain has gone out to collect herbs for you. Wait for him to come back." Zhang Jian roared, "You have to believe in him. He is an invincible god."
"He will definitely lead us out of here, he will."
"I'm fine. I'll wait for him to come back. I just need to rest for a while, just a while." Xiao Zhao could hardly open his eyelids.
"Don't sleep, Xiao Zhao, don't sleep, don't sleep." Zhang Jian shook Xiao Zhao desperately and patted his face.
Xiao Zhao tightly grasped Zhang Jian's hand and forced a smile: "Brother, in the next life, we will still be brothers."
He looked into the distance and murmured, "I really want to eat a bowl of fried pork noodles from my hometown again."
Close your eyes, and a young life is frozen.
"Xiao Zhao..." Zhang Jian, a man of about 1.8 meters tall, cried loudly while holding Xiao Zhao's body.
The weather in the rainforest is unpredictable. It might be sunny just now, but suddenly it starts to rain heavily.
The temperature is sometimes high and sometimes low. The sun just now could burn cockroaches to death, but now it is drizzling and the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees.
Xiao Gucheng moved quickly through the rainforest, holding a simple weapon made of bamboo in his hand.
The bamboo is equipped with a trigger device, and the sharpened wooden stick at the other end is coated with a deadly poison.
The effective range is ten meters. As long as the enemy's skin is scratched, the opponent will fall to the ground in just a few seconds.
Puff, the triggering device shot a mercenary in the neck. The man's eyes became bloodshot and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The remaining three mercenaries scattered, shouting incomprehensible Southeast Asian languages and shooting around with their guns like headless flies.
The rainforest was empty, and Xiao Gucheng was no longer there.
The three of them leaned against each other's backs and moved forward slowly.
However, in front of an ancient tree that was so thick that it took three people to hug it, Xiao Gucheng, who was disguised to look exactly like the rough bark of the tree, rushed forward waving a dagger.
Blood surged, and a moment later three bodies fell to the ground.
Xiao Gucheng collected the enemy's weapons and supplies, wiped the rain off his face, and quietly disappeared into the rainforest.
The four bodies lying on the ground soon attracted the indigenous creatures of the rainforest. A python as thick as a bucket swallowed one of the bodies into its stomach.
More horrible creatures came smelling the blood, and the four corpses were quickly eaten up.
Xiao Gucheng ran towards the camp after passing through the rainforest and carefully avoiding the traps that had been set up long ago.
The small package hanging around his waist contained herbs that could stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
Although these medicines cannot cure the injuries of Xiao Zhao, who was the most seriously injured, they are better than nothing.
Rushing to the camp, Xiao Gucheng suddenly stopped and saw that in an open space at the entrance of the cave, a national flag had been covering Xiao Zhao's body.
"Captain, Xiao Zhao... is gone." Zhang Jian wiped away his tears and cried.
Xiao Gucheng was stunned. He slowly walked to Xiao Zhao's side and put the medicine in his hand on the ground.
He squatted down and reached out to stroke Xiao Zhao's thin and unrecognizable face.
The tentacles were cold, and after nearly a month of painful suffering, Xiao Zhao had already become skin and bones.
His potential has reached its limit. Although he had anticipated the ending, he was still very sad when the day finally came.
"Xiao Zhou is seriously infected and I'm afraid he won't make it. Xiao Zhong has had a high fever since being poisoned, and he's had more and more convulsions and comas lately."
Zhang Jian wiped away his tears and said in a low voice: "I'll go and distract them. If all else fails, I'll fight them head-on."
"Let's settle Xiao Zhao first." Xiao Guchen slowly stood up.
Zhang Jian nodded, grabbed an engineer shovel, chose a relatively flat place, and started digging a hole.
Half a day later, a raised grave mound appeared.
The monument, erected with simple wooden stakes, is engraved with Xiao Zhao's name, part of his military number, and the title of martyr.
A red flag was placed on the grave.
Zhang Jian and Xiao Gucheng looked at the tombstone intently, then saluted straight.
"Captain, Brother Jian." At this moment, a weak voice came.
The two turned around and saw Xiao Zhou, who had an infection caused by an abdominal injury, struggling to crawl out.
"Xiao Zhou, lie down and rest. What are you doing out here?" Zhang Jian hurriedly supported him.
"I... came to see Xiao Zhao off." Xiao Zhou said with sadness.
He grabbed Zhang Jian and said, "Captain, you and Brother Jian should break through. Don't worry about us."
"We Canglang never have the habit of abandoning our teammates." Zhang Jian said in a deep voice.
"But if we go on like this, we'll all die." Xiao Zhou was a little excited, and he seemed to be shouting with all his strength.
"Just focus on your recovery and leave the rest to me." Xiao Gucheng put his hand on Xiao Zhou's shoulder.
