Chapter 501: Mist. Let’s Go
Lao Nian turned around, took back the spoon and continued to dig in the cauldron, "I originally thought that after I found the masked fox, I would commit suicide and go find my brother."
His hand holding the spoon turned blue and white because of the force. "I never expected it, I really never expected it, Qian Chuanzi is still alive. Then I can't die, I have to take care of him, he likes the beef stewed with radish that I make the most."
Gu Ye continued his words, "You can go find Brother Qian anytime. I will take over Wang Qiang. Xiao An and I also promised that one of us will find the masked fox."
"Who did you promise?" Lao Nian asked with red eyes.
"A person who has passed away." This was all Gu Ye could say.
"Hey, he has done so many bad things that I can't even count his enemies on one hand. But I can't promise you. I must avenge my brother myself."
"Can you guarantee that Wang Qiang will be useful?" Gu Ye asked, "He is just a personal witness, and there is no physical evidence."
"Are you trying to trick me again?" Lao Nian calmed down his excitement and said calmly, "I still say the same thing. I don't want any of you to get involved. I'm doing this for your own good."
Gu Ye smiled faintly. He had some doubts that the brother this person was talking about was Chen Xun's "father", but he decided to wait until he met Xiao An before discussing this matter. What he had to do now was to protect Wang Qiang and take them to reunite with Xiao An.
"Why do you like to eat meat sauce?" Gu Ye changed the subject. This is what he made yesterday.
"Because you have salt." Lao Nian said honestly, "Salt is very scarce now. If you don't make more now, you will suffer more losses."
Gu Ye couldn't refute it.
At noon, Lao Nian kneaded the dough and everyone rolled the noodles together. The braised noodles were made with meat sauce. Except for Gu Ye, everyone ate three big bowls. They hadn't eaten so full for a long time.
After dinner, Gu Ye spread Uncle Geng’s hand-drawn map on the table and called those who were still able to move to a meeting.
According to the map, they were about to pass through the southeast woods, which were not very dense and should not have many wild animals. However, this route was not straight and they had to go around a mountain in the middle.
Gu Ye compared it with his own map and found that the mountain that Uncle Geng bypassed was not in a straight line, which meant it did not block the road.
The others also noticed this problem and were thinking based on the markings on the map. Only Wang Siyu immediately asked, "This mountain is not blocking the road. Why don't we just keep going?"
Uncle Geng took a deep breath and explained, "It is possible to pass, but there is also a mountain on the other side. It is very steep and sandwiched between two mountains. Given the situation of our team, I suggest that we should be more cautious."
As he said the last sentence, he deliberately glanced at the injured and sick soldiers.
"If you want to be safe, take the branch. Returning by the original route is the safest option." Wu Mengmeng muttered.
Lao Ni, "It would take about five days to go back the same way. Going here can save at least two days. Besides, the road I chose has few trees and no big ups and downs, so it's safe to drive."
Wu Mengmeng, "Then can you guarantee that there are no wild beasts?"
The crown frowned and said patiently, "The longer we are on the road, the greater the risk of being attacked by wild animals."
Wu Mengmeng was not willing to be outdone. "Even if I met that Xiao An you mentioned earlier, wouldn't I still be in the forest? Wouldn't I still be threatened by wild animals at all times? If I follow your ideas, can you guarantee my safety?"
"Promise, promise, promise. Why should we give you so many guarantees?" Sun Hao has always disliked Wu Mengmeng. He didn't want to serve this young lady before, and now that they have fallen out, there is no need for him to care about her.
"You...why are you always sticking your elbow outward?" Wu Mengmeng was angry. Even if Sun Hao had left the team before, in her mind, they were still members of a team and should face the outside world with one voice.
He Jingze was so angry that he held his forehead and said, "What do you mean by outsiders or not? We are all a group now."
"Teacher, they are obviously bullying us. On the surface, they called everyone to a meeting, but in fact, they had already made a plan and did not give us a chance to speak."
Snap——
Gu Ye slammed his five fingers heavily on the table, his almond eyes narrowed, and his aura was quite intimidating.
"I don't object to anyone raising opinions, but you can't deliberately argue. Everyone is trying to get out and survive. If anyone wants to go against us and make sarcastic remarks to disrupt the morale of the troops, get out. The rice and flour in my car are not for argumentative people."
Wu Mengmeng's face turned pale and blue. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to. She silently made a note of Gu Ye in her heart, and told them that they would be in trouble when she found her fiancé.
"Let's go to the foot of the mountain first and see what the situation is." After Gu Ye finished speaking, he asked everyone if they had any opinions. Everyone shook their heads. After all, they had food.
Uncle Geng's route is undoubtedly the best choice. Not only can it save two days, but it can also reduce attacks from wild beasts.
At the end of the meeting, Gu Ye's palms were sweating. It was the first time for him to make a decision in front of so many people, and he was very nervous.
But seeing that no one objected, his vanity was greatly satisfied. No wonder many people want to be officials, it really feels good to have the final say.
He called Wang Guan and Liu Da together and asked them to move out the things in the back of the car and distribute them if possible, such as clothes and some simple daily necessities.
Last night, everyone had enjoyed shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, electric shavers and new underwear. They hadn't seen these things for half a year. Not only because they were on missions all year round, but also because the troops had no free food and daily necessities since they were attached to the base, they had to protect the base, maintain law and order, and go out to scavenge to maintain the operation of the entire division.
Gu Ye did not distribute all of it. He only provided basic support and then asked everyone to pack up and set off in an hour.
During this period, Gu Ye, Da Liu, Wang Guan, Laonian and Uncle Geng embedded the iron cage into the fixed frame, then sent it to the roof of the car, and tied the tent, sleeping bags and other items in the back bucket to the iron cage.
The cage contains the instructor, Zuyang, Jiashun, Zhouzhou and Qiangge. Of the four, three are unconscious, one is unconscious, and one is not worth caring about, and is definitely suitable for cage life.
Wang Xinyu and Huzi were fixed on a wooden board, which was placed at a 45-degree angle in the back bucket, so that there was still a gap in the front. Uncle Geng wanted to take care of Huzi, so he decided to squeeze in at the back. Laonian didn't want to sit in the carriage either, so he told Gu Ye not to worry about it and that he could find a place in the back bucket.
"Thank you." Wang Xinyu thanked Gu Ye.
Just now, it was Wang Guan and Da Liu who carried the person over on a stretcher, but he knew that the person who actually saved them was Gu Ye.
“You’re welcome.”
Gu Ye tied him up with a rope, mainly to prevent secondary injuries caused by the bumps during the journey.
Liu didn't want to fight for the co-pilot seat, nor did he want to squeeze in the back seat with He Jingze and others, so he went to the back bucket to find a place. He found Lao Nian sitting on the side of the bucket, holding the outer handle of the front of the car. This position was definitely better than inside the car.
The rest of the people all sat in the car. He Jingze, Sun Hao, Wang Siyu and Wu Mengmeng sat in the back seat. The pickup truck car was relatively spacious. Originally five people could fit in, but now it became four. Wang Siyu and Wu Mengmeng both smiled.
Wang Guan sat in the co-pilot seat, helping Gu Ye to keep an eye on the surroundings. Now everyone was ready.
Gu Ye circled the car before driving, it felt like an Indian going to the market, a bit funny, but everyone was more or less injured, it was not suitable for a long journey, so they had to put up with it... put up with the pickup truck!!!
