After she died, Mr. Bo knelt in front of the tombstone and cried like a dog.

Those Kachin soldiers were moving further and further away.

In the dead of night, in the dense and impenetrable forest, there was an eerie silence.

The man's long, thin arms held her in his arms, her slender back pressed against his chest, his hot masculine scent bewitchingly surrounding her, making her feel dangerous and inexplicably calm.

She pulled away his big hand that was covering her mouth and let out a long sigh. She didn't know if it was because she was suffocated or something, but her ears and face turned red.

"Those people seem to have gone far away, let's go..."

She was watching the movement outside vigilantly when her chin was suddenly twisted back. She turned her head and his lips were forced to be blocked by him.

Very strong snatch.

Both he and his kiss were filled with a surge of aggression that could not be ignored.

Ye Xiaowu's eyes widened and his heart beat unreasonably fast.

She was almost stunned by the kiss. She didn't respond, but she didn't struggle either.

After the kiss, Xiao Yan let go of her in a good mood, and glanced at her exposed wrist and back of her hand. There were a few red spots on her snow-white skin caused by the stings of small poisonous insects. There was no swelling and it was not too red, so the poison should not be strong.

He took off his tactical backpack, took out highly concentrated saline solution from it, grabbed her hand and rinsed the small red rashes carefully.

He took out the insect repellent and sprayed it carefully on her and himself.

He explained: "We are still far away from the retreat point. The terrain here is harsh and complicated. If we hurry, we will arrive tomorrow afternoon. If you can't hold on any longer, don't be stubborn. It will be much easier to carry you than to drag you."

Ye Xiaowu was distracted for a moment, and he didn't know whether he heard what he said or not, so he just said "hmm" casually.

Xiao Yan suddenly moved closer and teased her, "Are you still savoring that kiss?"

“Who, who is reminiscing? I was just thinking, if I offend the Kachin Army, will I never be able to come to northern Myanmar again?”

Oh, so I was thinking about such boring and insignificant things.

Xiao Yan put on his tactical backpack and stood up, holding out his hand to her, nonchalantly: "What kind of place is this? Do you want to come again? What are you doing here, doing telephone fraud?"

With her cheating skills, who else can she cheat from? Just cheat him.

Ye Xiaowu's mouth twitched slightly, he grabbed his hand and climbed up, and said worriedly: "If this continues, I will become a wanted criminal like you, right?"

He sneered: "Do you think those Kachin troops are decent troops?"

Still wanted?

Those Kachin troops themselves were rebel leaders on the border. They called themselves the Independence Army and acted like local tyrants in Myitkyina, engaging in all kinds of illegal transactions.

Seeing that she was still worried about her future, Xiao Yan pulled her and walked with her forward, saying, "Okay, don't bother with those nonsense. Just follow me closely, and you won't die no matter what you do."

How arrogant.

She looked up and saw a tall and straight man wearing camouflage combat uniforms filled with real guns and live ammunition. He held a sniper rifle in one hand and held her hand with the other, occasionally looking back at her to make sure she was in good health.

Someone who cherishes his life unconsciously clenched his hand.

The two held hands tightly as they walked through the dangerous primeval forest.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yan was afraid that she would feel sleepy, so he chatted with her.

"Ye Xiaowu, which country do you like?"

"Country C."

Xiao Yan was not happy: "Except Country C."

The person behind me said nothing.

Xiao Yan asked: "How about Italy? Or any place in North America."

Those places were nice and the scenery was even better, but it was obvious from his words that he was not going to let her go and she had to stay with him wherever she went.

Italy is great, and settling in a developed area of ​​North America would certainly be nice, but she can go there by herself.

Not getting an answer, Xiao Yan turned to look at her, "There are so many countries, but not one you like?"

Under pressure from the accumulated power, she muttered, "Then Italy."

"What do you mean then? Capri isn't fun?"

Didn’t she have a lot of fun last time?

Even if Capri is not fun, there are still Sicily, Sardinia, Burano... There are more than a hundred islands of all sizes in Italy.

Doesn't she particularly like the hotel business? She was given a resort hotel on every island, and she was the boss. She had money, freedom, and a man. How could she not be happy?

Why do you want to go back to Country C? Because you don’t want to be with him, right?

He hugged her to his chest, raised his sniper rifle and pointed it at the east side of Savage Mountain, lowered his head and said to her, "I forgot to tell you that this is the border between Country C and northern Myanmar. Just keep going east, over the mountains, through the river slope, and you will reach Diancheng in Country C."

In other words, if he could get rid of Xiao Yan, he would have a chance to return to his country.

Her face changed slightly.

He naturally caught it keenly, but he was not angry. He sneered and said, "What a pity, you have to go south with me."

"..."

She was obviously a little disappointed at this moment, and her grip on his hand loosened a lot.

The atmosphere changed slightly and became a little tense.

Xiao Yan was too lazy to get angry with her, but that didn't mean he was happy.

She let go, and he let go too.

Anyway, if I encounter a mouse or a skull later, it will come to me on its own initiative.

He is tall and has long legs, and his physique and energy are hundreds and thousands of times greater than that of ordinary people. When he walks alone, without this girl holding his hand, his steps inevitably return to normal.

His normal walking speed in this harsh forest is four or five times faster than that of an ordinary person.

Soon, Ye Xiaowu was several meters away from him.

He vaguely heard the person behind him chattering at him, saying something - he said he could be carried on his back if he couldn't walk, and he could run faster than a rabbit.

Humph, it’s just right that they get lost later. She turns around and walks east, and he walks south, and they just part ways.

She walked with her head down, thinking that this plan was not unfeasible.

I don’t know what this girl is mumbling about, but judging by her speed, she probably can’t walk anymore.

Xiao Yan sighed unhappily and turned around to walk towards her.

There was a very subtle "click" sound.

Just as Ye Xiaowu was about to take a step forward, Xiao Yan's face changed drastically and he immediately shouted, "Don't move!"

Ye Xiaowu froze for a moment, "What, what happened?"

Xiao Yan looked at her feet and confirmed one thing: "She stepped on a landmine."

Ye Xiaowu's heart skipped a beat, and she thought he was trying to scare her, so she asked suspiciously, "But it didn't explode. I, I know you were unhappy just now, but you can't lie to me about something like this!"

Having said that, she really didn't dare to move.

Xiao Yan said calmly: "It didn't explode because you stepped on a loose-action mine. As soon as you let go of your foot, the spring pressure above the mine disappears and it will explode immediately."

There are three types of mines: trip-triggered, pressure-triggered, and loose-triggered.

Ye Xiaowu saw that he was not joking and his face turned pale with fear: "Why is there a landmine here?"

Xiao Yan was not nervous. He even laughed and said calmly, "Didn't I just tell you that many battles have been fought here before? The pressure-activated and trip-activated mines have probably been cleared away long ago, but the loose-activated mine you are standing on is hard to spot unless you step on it."

This is a deep forest, who would come here if there is no war? And I am so lucky to step on it.

Ye Xiaowu was about to cry: "Don't say such sarcastic words, think about what to do. You spent so much effort to rescue me, you don't want to see me killed by this landmine, do you?"

Xiao Yan sighed: "What are you afraid of? You won't die even if it explodes."

Ye Xiaowu was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked with a bitter face: "Really?"

The man observed her feet and replied nonchalantly, "Well, at most one leg will be blown off."

She wanted to cry but had no tears: "...Are you still talking like a human being? You might as well blow me up!"

Xiao Yan comforted her, "Don't tremble. The more you tremble, the less safe you will be. Don't worry, I will still want you even if you lose a leg."

Ye Xiaowu couldn't help but sob, she didn't want to be disfigured and become disabled!

"Xiao Yan, what should we do?"

He said with a smile: "Now you know to call me Xiao Yan. You were so arrogant just now. Will you let go in the future?"

"..."

Impressed.

It's already this hour, and you still have the mood to talk about this.

Ye Xiaowu had no choice but to say, "Don't let go. Find a way. If you keep stepping on it and don't move, what will happen if those people catch up with you? Didn't you say you couldn't do it anymore?"

Xiao Yan was in a good mood and threatened her: "If those people catch up with you and you let go of your feet, they will all be wiped out."

"..."

Sweat broke out on Ye Xiaowu's forehead. After a while, he couldn't tell whether there was more sweat or tears on his face.

Xiao Yan took off his tactical backpack and threw it on the ground, then turned around in the light of a torch to look at the pattern of the mines under her feet.

Ye Xiaowu asked in a trembling voice: "Is there any hope for me?"

Xiao Yan said in a frivolous voice, "Didn't I just tell you, just follow me closely, and you won't die no matter what you do."

The lethality of small mines is actually not that great, especially this loose-type mine which looks like an antique from decades ago.

The purpose of laying mines during war is not to kill people, but to injure them, make them lose their combat effectiveness, or slow down the march.

Like the bomb under Ye Xiaowu's feet, if one person steps on it, it can cause several teammates to come and defuse the bomb, and it can also cause panic among the people.

He used a military knife and a shovel to dig out the soil and rocks around the edge of the mine.

But Ye Xiaowu was not a well-trained mercenary after all. Stepping on a landmine had already broken her psychological defenses. Coupled with her average physical fitness, she had to stand there under tremendous pressure. Her leg soon became numb and she began to tremble unconsciously.

Her legs were shaking, which made it more difficult to defuse the bomb.

The longer you wait, the higher the probability of failure.

Xiao Yan put down his tools, suddenly stood up, carefully moved over, put his arms around her and said, "I told you to loosen your feet, and you did, did you hear me?"

Ye Xiaowu was startled and looked at him with tears in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"

"Your legs are shaking like this, why don't you let me step on you and demolish it myself?"

His voice was unnaturally calm, as if to say - please move aside and don't interfere with my work.

Ye Xiaowu said in a hoarse voice: "This is not good. I stepped on it. If it explodes..."

He still has some conscience and knows how to consider him.

He ordered firmly, "Stop talking nonsense and concentrate on cooperating with me."

"okay."

She wiped the mist from her eyes, clasped her hands around his waist, and moved her feet almost in sync, one moving away from danger and the other moving closer to it.

"Xiao Yan..."

"what happened again?"

She looked at him apologetically, "My legs seem to be really numb, I have no sensation, I can't feel anything..."

Xiao Yan was rarely in a good mood, and his tone softened unconsciously: "Be good, hold on a little longer, the more nervous you are, the more you tremble, and you will be fine soon."
