Chapter 422: Acquaintances

"Sister-in-law, your bag is truly a treasure chest!" Qin Hao exclaimed.

An Yinan raised an eyebrow, "Want to see what's inside my treasure chest?"

Qin Hao immediately shook his head; he didn't want to court death just yet!

"I was just exclaiming. In my bag, there are only first-aid supplies, and several items were damaged while crossing the river."

"It's fine, mine are still here," she said calmly.

"What?" This time, it was the sound of two people speaking.

Yun Zhi and Qin Hao.

Only Yun Bi didn't know why they were making such a fuss!

"Wait, let me process this," Yun Zhi thought over their conversation repeatedly.

"Bandages and such, you have them?" In the end, he couldn't help but ask.

An Yinan nodded, "I do!"

And they weren't wet at all, though it wasn't because of the space.

It was because she had performed special waterproofing before setting out.

They were traveling with heavy loads, so sweating was inevitable.

When she did the waterproofing, she really hadn't thought about swimming across a river.

"Here!" An Yinan took out the gauze wrapped in oil paper, though she didn't unwrap it; who knew if they would need to wade through a river again later?

Qin Hao and Yun Zhi also took out their own gauze, which was still a bit damp!

It seemed there was still quite a lot for them to learn?

An Yinan was just habitually well-prepared. In the past, she relied heavily on the space, but later she gradually made herself forget the space's existence.

Especially after the danger in the mountain cave.

The space was not her crutch; instead, it would dig pits for her.

"Sleep for a while. When the sky gets a bit brighter, we have to leave," Yun Bi brought his bag over and let An Yinan lie directly on it.

An Yinan lay down directly, looking at the stars in the sky.

At this moment, they were covered by those wispy clouds. How much longer would these days last?

She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

Their group of four had climbed two mountains, walked through a forest, and waded through three rivers.

They finally arrived at the place where the message had been sent previously.

Everyone's clothes had long since been torn, and everyone's lips were chapped, looking like wild people.

"Third Brother, here," An Yinan pointed to a symbol.

This should have been left by that team.

"This way," Yun Bi confirmed the symbol and then led the three of them in one direction.

The three people's footsteps grew faster and faster, and everyone's expression was somewhat anxious.

Because at the spot with the symbol, they saw blood.

That team was not lightly injured.

"The symbols have stopped," Yun Bi searched the surroundings but didn't see any more symbols.

Either the people were nearby.

Or...

The people might have already met with misfortune.

Because of the space, her senses were much sharper than an ordinary person's.

She carefully scrutinized the surroundings.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, "That direction."

An Yinan pointed in a direction.

Yun Bi turned his head quickly and saw only the slightly swaying shadows of trees.

As for Qin Hao and Yun Zhi, they were just sitting on the ground panting heavily.

Yun Zhi couldn't help but marvel at Nan Nan's stamina.

"Let's go," Yun Bi gave the order.

Whether friend or foe, they had to go and investigate!

The people who had just been sitting on the ground resting stood up immediately, and Yun Zhi even pulled Qin Hao up.

Qin Hao's feet had already swollen like steamed buns; in fact, every step he took was very painful.

Even if An Yinan's medicine was effective, it required the patient to rest well, but in this environment, let alone resting, even staying for a while was a luxury.

"Can you still hold on?" Yun Bi asked Qin Hao; he was very worried about Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded, "It's fine, I can!"

His stamina was not as good as the others, but he didn't want to be the one holding everyone back.

Although as time went on, the words between them became fewer and fewer.

"Here!" An Yinan looked toward that symbol.

Yun Bi also saw the symbol.

Why would the next symbol be here?

An Yinan frowned; only by finding that group of people could they know the answer.

"Let's go."

Yun Bi walked in front of Qin Hao, "Get on."

Qin Hao waved his hand, "I can do it!"

Yun Bi crouched down, "If you don't want to end up a cripple, get on quickly; time is tight."

An Yinan looked at her third brother; he was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside, always reaching out a hand when everyone needed help.

"I'll scout the path ahead," An Yinan said, and she had already taken two steps forward.

Previously, it was always her third brother who scouted the path, but Qin Hao's condition was not optimistic, and with her third brother carrying Qin Hao, he certainly could not scout the path.

Compared to Yun Bi, she seemed more suited for the role of scouting.

Moreover, her senses were sharp, and she could avoid many dangers.

"Go." Yun Bi did not refuse; given the current situation, this was the best arrangement.

Because Yun Bi was carrying Qin Hao, everyone's speed had increased.

An Yinan was also very anxious; that group of people seemed to have discovered them.

But they could not confirm it was them.

If that were not the case, they should have already met by now!

Had something happened?

They had been walking for a full four hours, and from time to time, they could see symbols guiding them.

"An Yinan?"

At this moment, a voice asked in a low tone.

An Yinan turned her head to look; that person's face was pitch black, and he was clutching his arm, so she could only see those resolute eyes and a set of teeth.

"Brother Fang?"

An Yinan hurried over, but she kept three stones gripped in her hand the entire time.

It was not that she was guarding against Fang Yi.

It was just that in the current situation, the way they had been circling around forced her to be on guard.

Before she even reached him, Fang Yi gasped for breath and smiled, "Thank goodness, it's you!"

Immediately after, he fainted.

An Yinan, however, did not lower her guard, and the stones in her hand remained tightly gripped.

She walked up, grabbed his wrist pulse with her left hand, and confirmed that he had truly fainted.

She observed the surroundings again, and after confirming there was no ambush, she dragged him out from the rocks.

He might have been trying to conceal his figure, as he had rocks piled on top of him, but his right arm was injured and merely tightened with a strip of cloth from his clothes; there were no medicines or anything else.

It was estimated that their medical supplies had all been exhausted, right?

"Nan Nan, who is he?" Yun Bi scanned the surroundings vigilantly and asked the question.

After all, their markings were too abnormal; he had noticed it long ago, so he had remained vigilant.

The reason he carried Qin Hao at this time was also because Qin Hao's speed was too slow; if there was any movement, they would not be able to run or hide in time.

"Guangzhou Military, Fang Yi!" An Yinan said.

Yun Bi immediately understood, "He is the team leader!"

That secret team was led by this Fang Yi.

"Help me lift him up," An Yinan said to Yun Bi.

Yun Bi nodded, but after taking only one step forward, he sat straight down on the ground.

An Yinan took one look and thought, well, he couldn't be counted on.

Yun Bi confirmed the safety of the surroundings, placed Qin Hao on the ground, and then helped An Yinan lift Fang Yi to a flat area.

An Yinan used her hands to tear open Fang Yi's sleeve.

She confirmed it was a gunshot wound.
