Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 284 Encountering the Enemy

The three militiamen thought Jiang Yu could figure out the direction, so they breathed a sigh of relief and put their hearts at ease.

Fu Biao looked at Jiang Yu twice, as if asking her if she was sure.

Jiang Yu patted his shoulder, turned around and groped in the direction he came from.

Fu Biao and his companions couldn't find any trace of those people because they took the wrong fork in the road. Jiang Yu went back to the fork in the road, cut an arrow on the tree with a machete, and then went to the other side to look for them.

But perhaps because they were walking too fast, Jiang Yu did not feel that the residual smell in the air became heavier. Instead, it dissipated faster as the wind and snow gradually grew stronger.

Jiang Yu made a mark again, looked at the road ahead, and finally decided to go back to find Fu Biao.

She hadn't found any suitable place to stay for the night along the way, so it would be safer to go back and stay with the others.

When Fu Biao and the three militiamen were preparing to have dinner, Jiang Yu suddenly appeared. She shook her head at them and said, "I found the direction, but I didn't see anyone. I made a mark. I'll just change the direction and continue looking tomorrow."

What else can others do? They can only sigh and wait for tomorrow.

The snow and wind were particularly strong that night.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu and his companions had a cave to hide in.

The others who were running frantically for their lives and ended up deviating from their original route didn't have an easy time.

They started to build the snow house again, but since there were no Fu Biao and Jiang Yu to keep watch this time, they had to arrange for people to take turns on duty.

It's too painful to keep watch in such a cold weather and have to stay near the vent to observe the situation outside. No one wants to keep watch.

But what can I do even if I don't want to? The safety of more than a dozen people is much more important than my personal wishes.

Because one igloo can sleep four people, then the four of them can take turns, each staying for two hours. The guide thought that such an arrangement had been taken into consideration for everyone.

As a result, they started arguing about who was first and who was last.

Because no one wants to take the middle shift, get up in the middle of the night to keep watch, and then go back to sleep when you are freezing cold? Who wants that?

The guide had a splitting headache from their noise and felt more and more annoyed.

But the others were still arguing, arguing over who should go first.

Because of the noise, they didn't notice the unusual movement behind them.

Just when Jiang Yu and his companions were preparing to go to bed, gunshots were suddenly heard from the distant mountains.

Jiang Yu opened his glasses and half sat up, "Are those people in danger?"

Fu Biao's eyes widened as well. "It's very likely."

The other three people became nervous upon hearing this, "Then should we go find them?" If we go, won't we be in danger too?

Jiang Yu looked at Fu Biao, then at the others, and suddenly remembered what Fu Biao said when they spent the night in the mountains on the first day. She was really a good person.

She stood up and began to put on her cotton jacket. "Fu Biao, you stay here with them and be careful of what's going on outside. I'll go check it out."

Fu Biao opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was not safe for you to go alone, but the three people behind him were obviously timid, and they were definitely not willing to go together to rescue people. But he was worried about Jiang Yu going alone, and after thinking about it, he gave his machete to Jiang Yu, "You can wear my cotton-padded jacket first, the temperature at night is too low. I'll give you this knife as well, and be sure to pay attention to your safety."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then decisively took the cotton-padded jacket and knife handed to him by Fu Biao, changed his clothes, and went out with the knife.

When the three men saw how decisive she was, they were filled with mixed emotions.

There were several more intermittent gunshots outside.

Fu Biao became increasingly nervous. He could tell that it was not just them who were firing shots. The other gunshots were different from their homemade guns and were crisper.

They encountered an enemy, not a wild beast. I don’t know if Jiang Yu can handle it.

And it wasn't just them who heard the gunshots, there were also wild beasts in the mountains and a group of soldiers on a mission.

Jiang Yu put the knife into the space, put on gloves and climbed and jumped among the treetops, which was much faster than her traveling through the snow.

The closer you get to that place, the more mixed the smells in the air become.

Jiang Yu smelled blood and wondered if it was from those people in the team. She hoped that no one died, otherwise it would be ridiculous for her to raise the price with Zhuang Shouren with a righteous attitude.

She suddenly stopped jumping, hugged the tree trunk beside her to stabilize her body, looked at the figure in front of her and recalled with some confusion, no, this person was not the one who went up the mountain with her.

She couldn't see clearly what color the man's clothes were, but the collar of his cotton jacket was a stand-up collar, while the people in the brigade all wore fur collars, not stand-up collars.

Jiang Yu understood that this was meeting an outsider, not a wild beast.

Then the two sides opened fire and fought, and now they are hiding, waiting for the next opportunity.

If it was a human, Jiang Yu would feel a little more relieved. As long as the number of the opponent was not large, she could still deal with it with her superior eyesight and reaction ability than ordinary people.

She leaned over, adjusted the angle, took out the bag of sharp, polished stones from the space, took out one, and threw it directly in that direction.

"Puff." After a light sound of piercing the flesh, the man screamed and lay on the ground holding his legs.

Jiang Yu didn't intend to take the man's life directly. After all, he didn't know where this man came from.

She crouched on the tree trunk, waiting for the man's companions to come over and check on him.

Not long after, a man really came over stealthily.

Jiang Yu took out the second stone with satisfaction and threw it hard at the man's leg.

"Ah!" Another scream.

The forest suddenly became restless.

The hunting team guessed that there was a third wave of people coming, and they might be enemies with the people who had just fought with them. They felt relieved. After all, everyone has heard the saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The group of people who accidentally ran into the hunting team were cursing in their hearts. What kind of luck is this? Isn't it just looking for a place to spend the night? They ran into the villagers nearby. Because they also brought guns, the other party didn't know what was wrong with them. They screamed in fear and raised their hands to shoot at them.

Now, we were chasing the villagers up the mountain, but now the people have dispersed and now there are pursuers behind us. What should we do?

The thing is still in the third brother's hands, and we must not let anything happen to him.

Almost everyone had the same idea. In order to ensure the smooth completion of this mission, they began to move towards the middle.

Jiang Yu was on a high place and could see all their actions. In a good mood, he grabbed a handful of stones from the bag and started playing the game of "scattering flowers with the sky".

Although the force was not as strong as before, it still succeeded in causing some injuries to the remaining members of that force.

They were so scared that they immediately hid behind the trees. But when they thought that they would easily be discovered by the people on the mountain, they suddenly became tense and alert.
