Deng Ping felt that Jiang Tang looked down upon her.
Jiang Tang smiled and chased after Xu Hui and the others with his backpack on his back.
This made Deng Ping very angry.
He quickly raised his foot and chased after him.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
"Tell me clearly, who was the first to run away when faced with danger?"
The two of them walked towards Xu Hui and the others while talking.
Xu Hui and his companions did not go far, they were waiting for Jiang Tang and the others in the woods. Seeing the two female comrades coming over safely, Xu Hui stepped forward and asked if they wanted to continue on their journey.
Jiang Tang asked back, "Are you going to spend the New Year here if you don't leave?"
Xu Hui...
Not really.
Deng Ping dislikes Jiang Tang for being too direct in his words.
"You just can't learn to be gentle, right? I saw that you weren't like this when you talked to Lu Changzheng."
"You are not Lu Changzheng."
Deng Ping...
Seems to make sense?
The team members continued to walk into the mountains.
This area is a canyon between two mountains. They have to cross this canyon before they can go up the mountain and continue moving forward.
When walking in such a low-lying area, the most feared thing is the big rocks rolling down from the mountains on both sides.
If the rocks rolled down and they were walking in the middle of them, there would be no chance of escape.
They didn't know if there was anything strange in this mountain, and they were worried that the rocks on the mountain would be like a mountain torrent, and the loud noise would cause them to roll down, so the group basically didn't talk as they shuttled through the woods.
Even when he spoke occasionally, his voice was quite low.
There will be no yelling or shouting.
Jiang Tang walked in front to lead the way.
Xu Hui walked beside her with the intention of protecting her.
It took them about two hours to cross the low canyon and reach the uphill area.
Xu Hui asked people to rest on the spot and eat some dry food to replenish their energy.
There was no water source nearby, so they had to drink water from the bottles they carried with them.
As for food, it can only be military rations.
Fortunately, everyone had a lot of military rations in their backpacks.
I tore open the package and ate two pieces. Although the taste was not great, it gave me a very strong sense of fullness.
After eating, we continued on our journey.
They were still a long way from where they were going, but they had agreed before setting off that they would travel during the day and rest at night.
No matter how anxious you are, you cannot walk through this primeval forest at night.
The second day in the mountains was generally smoother than the first. Apart from the mosquitoes that were so numerous that made people want to cry, we didn't encounter any major dangers.
As evening approached, they also rested in the cave found by Deng Ping.
This cave is different from the cave last night. There must have been a lot of bats living in this cave before, and there is bat poop everywhere.
But Jiang Tang and the others have no choice now.
In the mountains where the temperature is only a few degrees at night, it is quite rare to have a sheltered cave to rest.
Xu Hui asked someone to set up the pot and prepare dinner.
"We're going to put these dry rations in the pot and cook them into a paste for dinner?"
Deng Ping asked after seeing it.
Xu Hui nodded.
"Add some water and cook it into a paste. It will taste better than eating it directly."
It seems that they don't like the taste of this dry food either.
Try every possible way to change his taste.
Deng Ping understood and turned to look at Jiang Tang who was sitting next to her.
She thought about it and walked to Jiang Tang.
"Hey, do you think there are any fish in the lake over there?"
Perhaps it was because she had been walking in the mountains all day, which resulted in excessive consumption, or perhaps the dry food was really too bland, so Deng Ping was now craving meat.
He came forward and said this to Jiang Tang because he wanted to get some meat to eat.
Jiang Tang tilted her head and glanced at Deng Ping. Her attitude was not very enthusiastic. Her whole attention was on the crossbow in her hand.
“In stagnant waters, there are big fish.”
"Shall we go get some to eat?"
Deng Ping didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Tang's words and thought that big fish meant a relatively large fish.
Jiang Tang tutted, "We will become its food."
Deng Ping took a breath of cold air.
Although he found it unbelievable, he still did not doubt Jiang Tang's words.
"This big?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
As Jiang Tang spoke, he had already finished the things in his hands.
It was a crossbow she made using tree branches. The small crossbow could be tied to the wrist, and the sharpened crossbow arrows were placed in the box underneath. When needed, she could just press the switch to shoot the crossbow arrows.
Deng Ping looked at Jiang Tang slowly tying up the crossbow with hemp rope, her tone full of surprise.
"Where did you learn to do this?"
"It's in the comic strip."
She had read the comic books written by Xixi and her friends at home. The heroes in the books had all kinds of hidden weapons.
She thought it was cool and took note of what they looked like.
Today, while traveling, I encountered some very tough wood, so I cut it down and made a crossbow.
Next, she just needed to find a strychnos nux vomica tree in the forest and dip the tips of all her arrows in the sap of the tree.
Deng Ping...
"No, you can do it just by looking at it?"
"What else?"
Jiang Tang answered easily.
Deng Ping hissed and muttered that Jiang Tang had a good brain.
She then asked, why do we need to get the sap of the strychnos nux vomica?
They were just going to the place where the plane crashed to look for the engine. Wasn't it redundant for her to prepare all these things?
Compared to the crossbow made by Jiang Tang, Deng Ping would rather trust the pistols given to them by Zhang Xiangdong.
