It was not until it was completely dark that Li Xin followed Du Peng back to the family compound.
They did not wait for He Beichen and his team to return.
After dark, the possibility of He Beichen and his team going down the mountain was very slim. Li Xin knew the condition of the mountain road. It was difficult to walk on it during the day, and it was even more impossible to walk on it at night.
So Du Peng pulled Li Xin back to rest first.
"How about... let's go to my house for dinner?" Du Peng opened his mouth several times before finally uttering a word.
Along the way, he had thought about comforting Li Xin several times, but he was tongue-tied and had no idea what to say.
"Thank you, but no thanks." Li Xin shook his head, said hello to Du Peng, and went upstairs to leave.
“…” Du Peng touched the back of his head.
Li Xin shouldn't be too depressed, right?
…
Something might have happened to He Beichen.
This thought has been lingering in Li Xin's mind.
Although Li Xin let Sanmao out after returning home, he did not let it cook as he had no appetite to eat at the moment.
After being released, Sanmao first looked at Li Xin, then turned around and ran into the kitchen to pour out a cup of hot water.
"Master, if you are in a bad mood, you can drink more hot water~" Sanmao said, handing the hot water to Li Xin.
Although it is a robot, it can also keenly sense that Li Xin is in a bad mood.
But it is just a robot after all, and a housekeeping type at that, not an emotional companion robot. Its behavior of comforting people is like that of a straight man like a pig's hoof.
"Oh, thank you..." Li Xin picked up the hot water, held it in his hand but didn't drink it.
He was wondering what kind of situation He Beichen might have encountered in the mountains that led to him not coming back yet.
But whether it's the new submachine gun or the bulletproof vest she developed, Li Xin is very confident that nothing should happen...
Could it be that it was the same as last time, where we encountered enemy spies who had buried mines in the mountains?
Li Xin held the cup tightly, and his fingertips turned slightly white.
Could it be that the plot in the book really cannot be changed?
…
At this moment, in a relatively secluded place on the mountain, there is a simple tent with a fire next to it.
The small team of twenty people sat or lay down around this simple tent to rest.
Inside the tent, there was a person lying with a white cloth wrapped around his legs and his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
There were two other people sitting next to him, but like him, their legs were also wrapped in white cloth.
When they went into the mountains for field training, they also brought some simple medical kits for emergency preparation.
Although it is rarely used in the past, it came in handy this time.
I had originally planned to go down the mountain today, but given the current situation, it is obvious that an accident has occurred.
"Sprinkle the insect repellent powder around." He Beichen's tall figure walked over from not far away and spoke to the people who were resting.
Although they were all dressed similarly, he stood out among the crowd.
"Yes!" A soldier stood up and went to find some insect repellent powder to sprinkle nearby.
He Beichen took a pot, put it on the fire, boiled some hot water, and took out some marching rations to distribute to everyone.
The original plan was to stay for only three days. Although we brought a lot of military rations, it was not much more, only enough for everyone to eat half full.
But no one cared too much about it. As long as there was something to eat, it was fine. It was normal to go hungry for one or two meals during a march or a battle!
After He Beichen finished distributing the food, he took some food and a pot of hot water and walked into the tent.
Hearing the sound, Fang Yunfeng, who was lying inside with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and looked towards He Beichen.
"Deputy Captain He..."
"Eat something and drink some water." He Beichen walked over and placed the food and hot water next to Fang Yunfeng.
"I'm sorry, Deputy Captain. It was all because of my carelessness this time that we delayed everyone's time to get down the mountain..." Fang Yunfeng sat up and looked at He Beichen with a guilty look on his face.
If it weren't for his injury, the team would not have stayed in the mountains for another night to take care of his speed.
Fang Yunfeng felt very uncomfortable because he had delayed a team. Although he was not the only one injured, the injuries of the other two were also caused by him.
"It's okay. Although this kind of accident is not common, it serves as a reminder to us. When training in the mountains and forests, any accident is part of the training. Discovering problems and solving them is the most important thing." He Beichen looked at the cloth wrapped around his leg and shook his head.
"Isn't it?"
It is normal for accidents to happen, and it is also a good thing if they happen during training. Early detection and early prevention are always better than happening in actual combat.
Like their soldiers in the southern border troops, where the terrain is mountainous and densely wooded, they have to adapt to fighting methods in any type of terrain.
Fang Yunfeng looked at He Beichen's determined eyes and felt a lot more relaxed. He was indeed comforted.
"Thanks."
Although He Beichen usually looks cold and seems unkind, but at critical moments, you will feel safe with him around.
Although the weather is not cold now, the nights in the mountains are still a bit chilly, and drinking some hot water can also keep you warm.
He Beichen handed him the hot water, and Fang Yunfeng took it and took a sip.
"I didn't go home today, and I don't know if she will be worried." He Beichen couldn't help but look in the direction of the family compound.
There was nothing to worry about during previous missions, but this time He Beichen got to experience what it meant to be worried.
