Gu Lang took Wang Ping to find Zhou Tong. The other two coaches happened to be there, opening a can of food to coax a little girl to eat. When they saw this man and the badger, they happily invited them.
After all, they were not strangers, and after this encounter, they became closer. Gu Lang was not pretentious, and he squeezed through without hesitation, as if he was at home.
What Wang Ping admired most about Gu Lao San was that he could get along with anyone without any awkwardness or abruptness, as if he was just that kind of person. It was probably because he had been used to socializing since he was a child, but some people always felt that it had something to do with his thick skin.
After laughing and joking with a few sturdy men who were almost turned into savages for a while, Zhou Tong got up and chased them away when the little girl started yawning.
A badger kicked the puppy that wanted to follow him back, and followed Gu Lang with a burp. Just as he wanted to see which direction the bastard would go so as to decide whether he would be a human or a pig tonight, he heard some distorted cursing in his ears.
"Someone come..."
"Someone come and help..."
"Gu Lang..."
"The paralyzed are all deaf..."
In fact, it was not the fault of no one to hear Han Daxia's shouting. It was because he had been shouting all the way and his voice had long been hoarse. The sound he made was not much louder than his breathing. If Wang Ping had not had excellent hearing and had just eaten a full meal, he would have ignored his shouting.
Gu Lang didn't hear anything at all, and was about to walk towards the thatched house where Wang An was. He had two canned fruits in his arms, and wanted to test the attitude of the beauty again, or ask Wang Ping to help him deliver the canned fruits and open the door for him.
Unfortunately, before he could start his plan, the heel of his trousers was grabbed by the claws of a badger.
“Plop!”
Gu Lao San, who was unprepared, didn't even move his legs and fell flat on his face. Wang Ping, who was unprepared at his feet, was also kicked in the stomach by him and almost vomited what he had just eaten.
"Uh huh..."
"Kawu~"
The man and the badger groaned at the same time, one holding his arm and the other holding his stomach. They both wanted to curse each other, but they felt as if they were the culprits, so they felt even more pain.
In the end, Gu Lao San was the more shameless. After he finished groaning, he patted the dirt off his body and stood up, muttering angrily: "Boss, why are you pulling me... I'm going to fall to death..."
"You deserve it! Who told you to be so tall?"
Wang Ping raised his middle claw, but didn't care too much. He just heard the cry of someone who seemed to be Old Han, so he should have walked closer now, but the voice disappeared again, like an illusion. Thinking that there were countless dangers in the rain forest at night, he hurriedly climbed onto Gu Laosan's shoulder, grabbed his hair and stood up, raising his claws to point in the direction of the sound.
"Hiss... it hurts! Boss, please... be gentle..."
Gu Lang was grinning from being pinched, with his head slightly tilted to the right. It was not until Wang Ping changed from grabbing to supporting that he began to pay attention to his movements.
"Go over there..."
Gu Lang hesitated for a moment.
The direction that the badger pointed to was now a ruin. Because it was close to the southeast, it was the route from the river bank to the center of the tribe. Many thatched houses were burned down during the previous attack by the militants, and they were burned again during the day, leaving everything charred.
In addition, when he heard Zhou Tong chatting with the two coaches during the meal, they said that the bodies of the natives who had been killed before were dumped there. Gu Laosan always felt a little uneasy.
But the boss has given the order, so he had to go no matter how pissed he was. Although Gu Lao San looked reluctant, he still walked over there.
Although it was dark, bonfires were lit in many places in the tribe, or long torches were erected. Many natives cleaned up the ruins overnight, collected usable wood and built new thatched houses, so they could see the road. However, the further east you went, the fewer people there were. At the end, there was no one at all, and the surroundings were full of black ashes.
Wang Ping listened with his ear tilted, his hairy face tense, and finally when he was almost at the edge he heard Old Han's call again.
"Gu Laosan... you petty bastard... you are seeking revenge..."
The sound seemed to come from the woods in the southeast. Not only Wang Ping, but Gu Laosan also heard it and was immediately stunned.
"Fuck... Boss, did you hear that? Why does it sound like someone is scolding me over there?"
The badger shrugged and pointed with his paw. This time, without any urging, Gu Lang quickened his pace and picked up a half-burned door bolt from the ground and held it. Whoever scolded him later would be punished.
Gu Laosan had no idea about going into the woods at night. He hesitated before because he was afraid of those imaginary feelings, but the dangers in the rainforest could be dealt with with just one claw from the "big brother" on his shoulder.
The edge of the tribe was made of sharpened logs, but it was not continuous. There was a small door about one person wide at a certain distance, and no one knew what it was used for. Gu Lang led Wang Ping out of one of the doors, and just after they stepped into the forest, they were slapped on the back of their heads.
"Hiss... Boss, why don't you pat my shoulder next time? My head... hurts..."
Wang Ping ignored Gu Laosan's complaints and jumped off his shoulder. At the same time, a salted fish fumbled around in his pocket and took out a mini flashlight that was no longer than a finger.
"Hehe, brother is still foresighted. An An said that this thing is not practical..."
The faint light that limited my vision to only two meters had just come on when I saw a furry figure in front of me lift up a moss-covered branch and throw it onto the open space in front.
"Bang!"
The seemingly normal ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a circular hole one meter wide. It was so dark that no one knew how deep it was.
"Fuck!"
Gu Laosan was startled, swallowed his saliva, and stretched his neck to look in. Unfortunately, the cave entrance looked even darker when illuminated by the flashlight, and he couldn't see what was inside at all.
His legs felt tight, and a badger climbed up his trouser legs again, holding a few freshly broken branches in one of its paws, but no one knew what they were for.
"Stop looking, and leave! Old Han must have fallen into a trap!"
Wang Ping patted Gu Laosan's neck, and the dirt and grass debris on his claws fell into his collar from behind, making him feel very uncomfortable. He walked with his teeth grimacing and the clothes on his back shaking.
As he went deeper, Wang Ping would occasionally pull out a piece of the branch from his claws and throw it out. Gu Lang finally knew what he was going to do with that branch. As the branch with the energy hit the dark, a noose hidden under the fallen leaves in front of him was suddenly pulled out, or a large piece of log suddenly fell from somewhere and hit the ground with a "clang".
The salted fish became more and more frightened as he walked. If it weren't for the shouts of Han Daxia getting closer, he would have wanted to retreat.
"I just don't agree with you taking risks! You just abandon us and don't care about us... I'm going to fuck you, you ungrateful idiot..."
Han Daxia's cursing became clearer and clearer, and Gu Laosan's face became darker and darker. When the estimate was almost reached, he could no longer hold back and shouted angrily: "Fuck Han Dasha, what bullshit are you talking about! I thought you guys had already run away on the plane!"
"Hmm?... Ahem..."
After a sound of choking on saliva, Han Daxia's hoarse voice suddenly became louder: "Gu Lang? You... don't come over! It's dangerous here!"
