Even after throwing the pearl out, Jian Dan wasn't entirely confident. No one else was watching, so she could only pray that the pearl would understand.
He threw the bead out and then quietly and stealthily walked inside.
Now her skills have returned to their peak from her previous life. Although she has fewer opportunities for actual combat and may be a little rusty, she has not lost her ability to hold her breath at all.
The closer you get, the clearer the sound becomes, but the crisp sound of cocking the gun is never heard again.
However, what became increasingly obvious was the sound of digging a hole, because it sounded like soil being turned over.
Puzzled, she gently pressed herself against the nearest tree trunk. While they were still busy, she peeked out. Her pupils constricted at what she saw. If she hadn't been so strong-willed, she would have been terrified.
A man was in front of them, carefully digging a hole. He then buried the black coal briquettes next to him, thoughtfully leaving a section of fuse to connect to the fuse behind him. He gently dug up a layer of soil and buried the briquettes underneath.
Then, they go looking for the next lucky pit.
After scanning his surroundings and taking a few steps back, he simply entered the base space, only managing to calm himself down after patting his chest firmly.
The man had a weapon tucked into his waistband, most likely the one he had just cocked.
Now it seems he's alone, but his movements as he digs and buries the soil are very skillful, making one wonder how many such pits have been dug behind him.
They were burying people in large patches from time to time. Judging from the freshly turned soil behind the person, it was a lined operation. What's most infuriating is that these lines were all connected.
Imagine, over there, in some unknown distance, someone gently lights a fuse, and then, like setting off firecrackers, it explodes all the way from that end to here. We don't even know where the end is, or whether there are any people on that line at that time.
Simple doesn't have the patience to trace things back to their source; it's not her job.
Just as I was wondering whether to go along and see, or simply knock them out and take them away, I heard a somewhat unclear cry.
"Jixiang, don't make a sound, don't move."
A simple vibration, and it was Xin Xin's voice!
She instinctively looked at the man, who clearly noticed her as well. He quickly straightened up, stuck the shovel into the soil with his left hand, and his right hand had already stealthily reached for the weapon at his waist.
What else is there to say?
He simply left the base space, casually opened a sleeping pill and threw it over. This thing was inconspicuous and wouldn't explode, but it was sealed, so it took effect as soon as it was opened, and the effect was immediate.
The drug had only been thrown for five seconds when its scent had already spread rapidly into the air.
The man had just drawn his weapon, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. Unfortunately, the young lady's drug was too potent. Before he could even finish looking around, his tall body began to sway. He quickly realized he had been ambushed, but he was given no time to think. After a few seconds of swaying, his tall body collapsed to the ground, sending the black coal ball that was about to be buried next to him flying two meters away.
All that was left was a shovel, standing there all alone.
"Oh? How did it spill?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was easily audible. I couldn't help but want to facepalm. This child really doesn't know the danger.
"Jian Xin, come out here!"
Three people and four dogs slowly emerged from behind the large rock opposite. Caught red-handed, they all felt a little uncomfortable.
Jian Xin, however, didn't seem to realize it and came running over excitedly.
"Sister, what brings you here? Look, look, we've found a bad guy. What is he burying? Brother Lin said it's not a good thing."
Lin Dongfang felt somewhat embarrassed. He had taken someone else's child to do something wrong and risked his life, and to make matters worse, he was caught by the child's parents.
"Well, we're all in the shadows, don't worry, I won't put her in any danger."
Simply put, wasn't that dangerous? That person almost spotted them.
A quick glance revealed obvious bloodstains on Lin Dongfang's body. Li Guang behind him wasn't in much better shape either, with one arm hanging limply, likely dislocated, though he could still manage a smile on his face.
On the other hand, their own child was perfectly fine except for having dirt on him.
The dogs were fine; they only had a little blood on them and were still jumping around.
"Sister Jane!"
Immediately, the words of complaint and blame fell to the wind.
"What's wrong with you? Are you in danger?"
Lin Dongfang glanced at the fallen man, sighed in relief, and gave a wry smile.
"Don't even mention it, it's an absolute injustice."
Xin Xin said she wanted to eat fish, so we went to the same waterside as last time. But as soon as we got there, we saw a person carrying a bag of things. At first, we didn't think much of it. This mountain isn't ours. If we can come, then other villages can too.
As a result, he accidentally bumped into the bag, and the man immediately revealed his viciousness, grabbing a knife and coming at him.
We didn't know what happened either. We just thought we could explain it to him and it would be over. Who knew this guy would be so determined to attack? At the time, I thought there was something important inside, and that's why he was upset. So I didn't use my full strength, and that's why I got several knife wounds. Finally, Jixiang and the others rushed over, and that guy, I don't know what he thought of, finally stopped."
Lin Dongfang took a breath, and Li Guang continued,
"Then we went around in circles and came out to collect firewood. We saw him again by chance. He was digging a hole and burying something in it. At first, we thought he was just burning something, like a poor family secretly clearing land. We even said, 'This person is quite pitiful.'"
Who knew that Jixiang and the others were all ready to rush out and fight. If it weren't for Xinxin being there, we wouldn't have been able to control them. Brother Lin felt something was wrong and said that Gouzi only showed this kind of defensiveness and vigilance when in danger, and was always ready to attack. He said that this person must be carrying dangerous items.
So, Brother Lin went over to take a look, and when he came back he said no, we can't let him do bad things here. So we hid over there, waiting for him to come over before we made a move.
Here, the stones and the knife are ready.
Sure enough, there was quite a lot of equipment prepared behind the rock.
Simple isn't stupid. If there were only two boys, they definitely wouldn't have used this strategy. After all, they also had an innocent and naive child, Xin Xin, with them. They didn't want the child to see this cruel scene, which is why they've endured it until now.
"You guys, you'll never be defeated if you know yourself and your enemy. What if they're carrying weapons?"
These two people really didn't expect this, and they were stunned just now.
With a simple turn and a flick of his toe, the loaded weapon landed in front of the group.
"Look, he's carrying this thing. Are your mortal bodies even good enough for him to practice on?"
Lin Dongfang is considered a semi-professional. If it weren't for his child, he probably wouldn't have fared well today. He's just being cautious and hesitant because he has a child with him.
"Holy crap! Am I late?"
