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

Xiao Yan was startled, and looked up -

Ye Xiaowu stood not far away, holding the gun handle with trembling hands, his face pale with panic.

"Is he dead?"

The Kachin soldier fell at Xiao Yan's feet.

This was not the first time she fired a gun, but it was the first time that she actually knocked the opponent to the ground after firing.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly, staring at her sharply and complicatedly, "Why did you come back? To see if I'm dead or not?"

She was still in a state of panic after the first time she pulled out her gun and killed someone. She didn't have the brains to lie. She spoke the truth with a trembling voice: "I, I saw this guy coming towards you, so I followed him..."

However, she planned to help him resolve this crisis before leaving.

Her attention was still on the fallen Kachin soldier, "Is he dead or not?"

She was in a hurry and fired a random shot just now. She didn't even know which part of the opponent she hit.

The guy fell straight down in front of her...

Xiao Yan stared at her sharply with a gloomy and cold gaze.

He stared at her for an unknown number of seconds, and when he was sure that she was telling the truth, he suddenly chuckled and commanded her, "Come over and take a look."

Her face was full of resistance and she didn't dare to go over. She was extremely timid.

Xiao Yan kept looking at her, not missing any subtle changes in her facial expression.

"Why come back?"

"Did you run into too many obstacles halfway through your journey and realize it's safer to just follow me?"

He paused: "Still, worried about me?"

Ye Xiaowu froze there, opened his lips, and was speechless for a moment. His evasive eyes fell on the Kachin soldier lying at his feet, and he suddenly screamed: "Ah! He's moving!"

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he quickly and fiercely snatched the gun from the Kachin soldier's hand. He turned the gun sharply and shot him in the forehead with a "bang".

Blood exploded, splattering on Xiao Yan's cold, sharp face and nose.

After solving the problem, he threw the gun away and locked his eyes with Ye Xiaowu again, "Shoot accurately next time. If you can't hit it, shoot two more times."

Ye Xiaowu said honestly: "I was afraid that I would miss and hit you."

Isn't that more of a hindrance than a help?

He looks like a coward and a waste, but he's quite cute.

Xiao Yan curled his lips, chuckled, and told her: "Go squat behind the big tree over there."

She didn't know what he was going to do, so she just said "oh" and ran away a long way.

Xiao Yan frowned: "Okay, let's hide from the ghost."

Let her run, not let her run out of his sight.

She stopped and wanted to run, but now she saw him. His face was stained with blood and he looked evil and scary.

She didn't dare to run, for fear that he would catch up with her and beat her up.

Although there was still a landmine under his feet, it looked like he was about to remove it successfully.

Now that I look back, I can’t escape this time.

She resigned herself to her fate and squatted behind a thick tree that several people had to hug, and poked her head out to see what was happening over there.

Xiao Yan skillfully inserted two sharp military knives between the sole of his shoe and the landmine at the same time, then wrapped a thin rope around a thin steel bar and slowly and carefully inserted it into the soil. He used the thin steel bar to thread the thin wire through the bottom of the landmine, and with the back of his hand with bulging veins, he grasped the thin wire and pulled it hard, using the two military knives and the thin wire to firmly press down the spring above the landmine.

After securing it, he didn't loosen his foot and glanced at the tree: "Ye Xiaowu."

"Ah? I'm here."

A thin white arm stretched out from behind the big tree and waved at him.

Such a coward.

Xiao Yan laughed angrily and reminded her: "Don't lean your back against the tree trunk, and don't lie on the ground. Squat down and cover your ears."

When the mine explodes, the ground shakes, and the big trees may also shake slightly, which may shock her.

After she said "OK", Xiao Yan threw the tactical backpack on the ground away, loosened his feet, stood up nimbly and leaped quickly towards Ye Xiaowu.

"boom!"

There was a deafening explosion, and flames and debris exploded in the dense forest in an instant!

Xiao Yan hugged her and held her head tightly in his arms.

The explosion ends.

She raised her face from his arms and happened to meet his burning gaze. She felt burned for no apparent reason and quickly got up and said, "Let's go. The Kachin Army will definitely chase us when they hear the explosion."

Xiao Yan grabbed her wrist, stood up and stared at her: "Where are you going?"

"Go south..."

"you said."

"..."

She wanted to go east, would he let her?

My left wrist felt slightly heavy.

Xiao Yan put the Buddhist beads on his wrist on her wrist.

I only heard him say: "This Buddhist bead has been stained with a lot of blood, which is not particularly auspicious, but I have worn it for so many years and it has indeed been safe and sound."

Ye Xiaowu didn't know what he was thinking. Just as he was about to take it off, he said, "I don't want it..."

His voice turned cold: "You dare."

"..."

Picking up the tactical backpack on the ground and putting it on his back, Xiao Yan held her left hand with Buddhist beads on it and continued walking south.

"Now that you're back, don't run around. You can't get out of this mountain by yourself. If you get lost or get into trouble, I'll have to look for you."

The person behind me didn't respond.

Xiao Yan turned back to look at her, "Did you hear that?"

Ye Xiaowu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I just saved your life anyway, so we are even now. After we get out of Savage Mountain, can you let me go back to Country C?"

After all this time, I'm still thinking about this idea.

Xiao Yan sneered: "Clear all? Who told you clear all?"

"I...um!"

He pulled the person into his arms. He didn't want to listen to any of that nonsense. He just kissed her. His lips and tongue swept into hers heavily, hooking his tongue into hers and kissing her deeply.

He didn't let her go until she was out of breath.

Looking at her beautiful eyes that were slightly wet from the kiss, he said word by word: "Ye Xiaowu, there is no clean slate between us, only entanglement."

He is a villain and a prodigal, without much kindness and humanity.

Show mercy and let her go?

dream.

Never let go.

He held her hand tighter, and as he led her forward, he asked, "You still haven't told me why you came back just now?"

Ye Xiaowu was depressed for a moment and muttered, "I should have known not to save you."

When he died, she was free.

She was of no value to the Kachin Army and Su Fang. As long as Xiao Yan was dead, they would not search for her anymore. Even though the Wild Man Mountain was extremely dangerous, she still had a chance to escape.

But now...

Xiao Yan was not annoyed, and sneered: "The more you think about it, the more you regret it, right?"

She was silent.

Xiao Yan said: "But you can only regret it, and you still came back."

This is enough.

They walked for a while and the Kachin Army did not catch up with them, but the sound of the explosion attracted the primitive tribal residents of the Wild Man Mountain.

The four men were dressed in simple old-fashioned clothes, with deep facial features and strong, slender limbs, but they had no guns in their hands. They were walking towards them, leaning on shovels and hoes.

They had little ammunition left, and firing would easily expose their position. These four natives probably had never even caught a gun, so Xiao Yan didn't bother to use a gun against them.

He threw the tactical backpack to Ye Xiaowu and said, "I'll go and knock down those four. You just stay here and don't come out."

If we don't knock them down, they will keep following us, so we have to intimidate them.

The other party was speaking the Jingpo language, a minority language, which Xiao Yan could not understand, so he kicked him.

Close combat requires skill, not brute strength.

A primitive man swung a shovel at Xiao Yan, but the man was agile and quick. He dodged quickly, clamped the handle of the shovel, pulled it hard, and swung it towards the hoe that was swinging from the right.

The weapons of two primitive people fell.

Xiao Yan grabbed a head with each hand and knocked them against each other, causing two of them to faint.

A shovel was swung up from behind. Xiao Yan crouched down and kicked swiftly, breaking the man's lower body. The man fell facefirst to the ground holding the shovel.

There was another one... holding an iron hoe and running towards Ye Xiaowu.

Before he touched Ye Xiaowu, he felt a sharp pain behind his head and Xiao Yan kicked him from behind.

The last primitive man fell beside Ye Xiaowu.

Ye Xiaowu held his backpack and ran to Xiao Yan, holding him tightly. "Why do these people look so much like savages?"

Xiao Yan looked at her hands that were wrapped around him, with his Buddhist beads still obediently worn on her wrist. His mood brightened up a little. He took back his backpack and pulled her into his arms.

"He was originally a savage."

Not like wild men.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something and said to her with his head down: "What these savage tribes need most is beautiful wives like you. The savage who came to catch you just now probably wanted to take you back to be his wife and give birth to his children."

He threatened her in a dark tone: "If you don't behave, I'll just leave you here."

When Ye Xiaowu heard this, he quickly grabbed him and said anxiously, "No, no, it's better for me to be with you."

She still liked him a little better than these savages.

Xiao Yan glanced at her and said in a playful tone: "Then tell me why you came back just now."

Asking knowingly.

He insisted on finding out the reason.

Ye Xiaowu muttered: "Although I don't love you, I don't want you to die."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled wantonly, and said frankly with disdain: "The second half of the sentence is quite pleasant to the ear, but the first half is nonsense, so don't say it next time."

"..."

Xiao Yan: "So, say it again."

Impressed.

What a bullshit request.

Ye Xiaowu has always been true to his heart. His voice was low and lifeless: "I don't want you to die, okay?"

Xiao Yan pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay, got it."

"..."

The Myitkyina area has a tropical monsoon climate with abundant rainfall, especially in midsummer. The dense forest can block the scorching sun but cannot block the rain.

The ground was slippery and difficult to walk on. She tripped several times and her strength was almost exhausted.

Even though they were in a hurry, Xiao Yan did not force her to go. They all needed to conserve their energy because they had only gone less than one-third of the way and the more difficult part was still to come.

He placed her under a tree with relatively dense leaves. "I'll go find a cave nearby to hide from the rain. There are canned foods in my bag. You can eat them yourself."

It was late at night and it was pitch black all around. She couldn't use a flashlight as it would attract enemies and wild beasts. Ye Xiaowu was most afraid of rats and darkness. When Xiao Yan turned around and left, she instinctively grabbed his hand.

"Don't go far."

She really couldn't walk anymore, her legs were shaking as if they were filled with lead. It was raining at this time, and it was not a wise move to let him carry her on his back to find a cave and waste his energy.

But she was also afraid that he would really abandon her here, or that he would go too far and not be able to find her.

Xiao Yan flicked her head and said, "I'll be back in 20 minutes. I won't be far away."

She reminded him awkwardly: "Then you have to remember the way back..."

Her worries were unnecessary.

"I won't lose you."

And I will never abandon her.

The tall and straight figure of the man in camouflage uniform disappeared into the darkness and rain.

I don’t know why, but the image engraved deep in my memory seemed to be shaking like an earthquake.

Although they have lost their memory, people will always have a vivid memory of the most painful scenes in their lives.

Putting those scattered fragments together, she roughly knew what it was.

That was when her biological parents gave her to a trafficker when she was a child. They counted the money and I remember it wasn't much, although it was US dollars, and then... they turned around and left happily.

That day, the sky was also as dark as it is now, and it was raining a foggy and unpleasant rain.

A child who has been cruelly abandoned will not expect anyone to come back.

From the day he was abandoned, all the innocence of that child died on that night of abandonment.

Precocity and coldness could grow wildly overnight and stick to her tightly, becoming what she thought was the hardest armor in her life.

No matter how nice and touching their words were, she would not believe them. She would not be surprised if the other party really did not come back.

Because her biological father and mother did not look back on that dark and rainy night.

Not to mention other people.

Ye Xiaowu huddled there with his knees hugged, thinking tremblingly, "I hope no rat will jump out."

She subconsciously touched the Buddhist beads on her left wrist, thinking -

Forget it, if he hasn't come back after twenty minutes, she will just go east.

Your life is ruined, but maybe you can save it if you try.
