Wang Ping suddenly felt uneasy.
I can't tell why, but I always feel that something is staring at me in the dark with ill intentions. But every time I climb to Gu Laosan's shoulder to look, I can't see anything. It also makes someone nervous.
Intuition is something that sometimes cannot be considered groundless.
It's like when you close your eyes, if someone puts their hand or something close to your eyeballs, before it touches them, your eyes will naturally feel swollen. Another example is, if you keep staring at someone, it won't take long for the other person to feel it and then look back along your line of sight. So when tracking, experienced veterans will never stare at the person being tracked, but will occasionally glance at him to keep him in their sight.
Wang Ping felt that he and Gu Laosan were probably being followed, and the one following them was a poor rookie.
After staring at the flashlight beam moving forward again on the other side of the river for a long time, Wang Ping suddenly struggled in Gu Laosan's arms.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Lang, who was already nervous, shivered and squatted down subconsciously.
Wang Ping jumped out of his arms and pointed in the direction in front of him. The woods were originally dark, and Gu Laosan stared for a long time before he saw Wang Ping's movements clearly, and then asked in a trembling voice:
"What's ahead?"
Wang Ping: …
Sometimes I have to say that apart from the simple "eating, sleeping and playing Doudou", when it comes to slightly more difficult communication, there are obstacles between the two people... one person and one badger. It's easy to talk when Gu Lang has something to do, just ask a question and wait for Wang Ping to nod or shake his head. But if Wang Ping has something to do, the situation becomes extremely complicated.
A badger decided not to communicate and just demonstrated it, which was simpler. So he turned around and ran forward.
"Hello!"
As soon as he saw a badger trying to run away, Gu Lang became anxious. He stood up and followed it, shouting in a low voice.
"Boss, wait for me!"
"Don't run!"
"Is something catching up with us?"
"Woo... run slower..."
"Stop yelling!" After running a few steps, Wang Ping turned around and slapped his calf, and a feeling of powerlessness surged up at the same time.
"It's dark here, and you're running so fast, it's scary..." Gu Lang knew that shouting at this time was a suicidal act. But as soon as Wang Ping left him, especially when he was running, the tension made him want to shout out uncontrollably. Sometimes he didn't just want to stop Wang Ping, but mostly just to give himself courage.
"How about I carry you and walk with you? You think I'm walking too slowly, don't you?" Gu Lang whispered to Wang Ping, "How about this, when I carry you, if you need to walk faster, you can pat my arm twice. If you walk slower, you can pat once. If you stop, you can clap with both paws at the same time. How about it?"
"Wouldn't it have been resolved if you had understood it earlier? Your brother has put so much effort into it!" Wang Ping nodded, then suddenly remembered that someone couldn't see him nodding, so he ran over and patted his calves twice.
Seeing that the badger agreed, Gu Lang quickly squatted down and picked him up again. Wang Ping immediately followed suit and patted him on the arm twice.
With a long sigh, Gu Lang ran cautiously in the woods. But before he had run far, he felt the badger's little paw patting him twice again.
"Hey, Boss... If I speed up any further, I'll catch up with those two guys." Gu Lang whispered.
I just want to catch up with them, not only catch up, but also surpass them! Wang Ping then clapped his paws, urging someone to speed up.
"Hey, you're the boss, you have the final say..."
Gu Lang muttered something under his breath, then hurried forward, using the dark light that had adapted to his eyes to avoid various trees.
The distance was 50 meters, and he caught up quickly if he wanted to. Wang Ping kept urging Gu Laosan to speed up. After he had surpassed Damuge and the other man by nearly 100 meters, he patted Gu Laosan on the arm, and someone started to slow down. In this way, Gu Lang was the one walking in front.
Someone had actually been guessing what Wang Ping's intention was. He turned around and saw that the flashlight beam behind him would occasionally turn around and sweep back and forth. Suddenly, he looked as if he had realized something.
"Boss, you are really smart! Usually, people who are being followed will always look back to see if anyone is following them. They definitely won't guess that we are following them, but we are walking in front of them. Haha, it's all thanks to the fact that it's night time and they are using flashlights, like fireflies, it's hard to lose them."
"Well… "
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment.
Is that what I mean? Never mind, as long as you are happy...
Behind Gu Lang, Damuge frowned, retracted the flashlight, and turned back forward again with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong? You have been suspicious since just now." Nakutu asked.
"Hmm, did you hear anything just now? It sounded like something ran over there."
Damuge replied nonchalantly and then looked back again.
"Nonsense, there are more than just you and me in this forest. There are also night owls, yellow foxes, rabbits, and roe deer! What's so strange about something running over there?" Nakutu said disapprovingly, "Can you please stop being so suspicious? You're making me nervous!"
"It's always better to be careful!" Damuge frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied with Nakutu's attitude.
"Haha! Is that so?" Nakutu dragged out the word and said meaningfully.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm making a big deal out of nothing?" Damuge suddenly stopped.
"I think you are not making a big deal out of nothing, but you have done something wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, someone's neck was grabbed fiercely. Damuge's face was ferocious, and he suppressed his anger and said frantically: "You saw what happened to Sasgo at that time. His head was broken! Even if I didn't send him to death, he wouldn't live long! I want to end his suffering! End the suffering, do you understand? If you keep holding on to this matter, even if you call me uncle, I will make sure you can't leave here!"
"Hmm..."
Someone wanted to speak, but his neck was tightly pinched, so he couldn't say a word. Damuge was still exerting force, saying "Do you know! Do you know!"
Nakutu's face turned red, his mouth opened wide, he slapped Damuge's arm with one hand, reached for his waist with the other hand, pulled out his sword and slashed at Damuge.
"when"
Damuge took a step back and raised his hand to block, but his sword hit the flashlight. The light flashed and the flashlight fell directly to the ground, shining horizontally towards the other side.
"Cough cough... Damn it! Are you going to strangle me to death?" Nakutu covered his neck and gasped.
At this moment, a low roar came from the other side of the river where the flashlight was shining, and both of them looked over subconsciously.
A black bear was hit directly by the beam of the flashlight. The bear had a dazed look on its face, squinting its eyes, blocking the light with its paws, and growling threateningly.
"What the hell..."
Gu Lang stopped and looked back blankly at the opposite bank behind him. For some reason, the lights over there suddenly started to flicker. Then he heard Damuge and the other man shouting and running along the river bank.
