Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

He was not familiar with the terrain, and in this dense forest, his steps seemed a little heavy and slow. In a flash, he lost the person. At this moment, the sun gradually set, and the light in the forest became darker and darker, as if a mysterious veil was cast over the entire forest.

"Da Zhuang, there are traces here. It should be this side." A team member excitedly discovered that there seemed to be signs that someone had walked here.

Da Zhuang hurried over to take a look, and with a surge of hope in his heart, he said, "There are indeed traces. Let's go over here and take a look first."

The five of them carefully looked around and slowly moved forward along the traced route.

The light in the forest was getting darker and darker, and Huang Xinguo was becoming more and more anxious. He felt very aggrieved. He never expected that he would be trapped in this forest.

"Da Zhuang, the trace is cut off here." A team member said in a lost tone.

"This should be something the enemy did intentionally." Yu Dazhuang said after thinking for a moment.

"Then shall we go back?" asked a team member.

"Well, let's go back first." Yu Dazhuang replied. The five of them had no choice but to go back. Yu Dazhuang looked around. "Look for traces in other directions first, and be careful. I'll climb up a tree to see the general direction." Yu Dazhuang said, and then he swiftly climbed up the tallest tree around. He roughly identified the direction, and then quickly came down from the tree. "This is very close to the barrier." Yu Dazhuang said to the team members with a heavy expression.

"Da Zhuang, there are traces here." a team member shouted.

"Da Zhuang, there are traces here too." another team member shouted.

Yu Dazhuang walked to the place the first team member mentioned and looked over. “This is the road to the barrier, and that should be the road to the county town. I think Sawada Sakura should want to go to the county town to find her child. Captain Huang should be trapped in the barrier. Let’s go rescue Captain Huang and the others first.” Yu Dazhuang’s tone was very heavy.

"So Sawada Sakura let her escape?" asked a team member.

"The forest is very dangerous, and it's even more dangerous in the maze. I must save people first." Yu Dazhuang answered without hesitation.

"Yes, saving lives is more important. Besides, Sawada Sakura may not be able to get out of the forest and reach the county town." Another team member echoed. The team member who raised the question at the beginning stopped talking.

"Okay, let's go rescue Captain Huang and the others. From now on, we must mark every place we pass, and after we find Captain Huang, we will return the same way we came." Yu Dazhuang instructed seriously.

"Yes, we will mark it carefully." The four team members answered in unison.

"I'll lead the way, everyone follow closely." Yu Dazhuang said as he walked to the front. The team members followed closely behind him, using short knives to make marks on the trees on both sides.

Yu Dazhuang followed the trail and finally found Huang Xinguo and his companions, who were exhausted. At this time, Huang Xinguo and his companions' physical strength and mood had reached the critical point of collapse.

"Da Zhuang, thank you, otherwise, I would feel so guilty!" Huang Xinguo said happily, and his words were like a ray of sunshine in the cold winter, making people feel warm.

"Captain Huang, it's okay, but it's really dangerous here, let's go back quickly." Yu Dazhuang said, looked up at the sky, and his heart sank. He didn't know if he could return safely before it got completely dark. So, his steps became heavier, and he quickened his pace and took the lead to follow the mark, leading Huang Xinguo forward in a hurry.

Finally, they returned to the village safely. At this time, it was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Not even a star could be found in the sky. The whole village was shrouded in endless darkness and was quiet, as quiet as a sleeping child.

"Everyone, go back and rest first! As for Sawada Sakura, I will contact the county people to capture her! She will definitely not come back. Let's take a good rest tomorrow and prepare to leave the day after tomorrow!" Huang Xinguo said firmly. After that, he resolutely turned around and entered the tent.

"Grandma, why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Yu Congcong asked anxiously.

"Don't you know where he went? He can't just come back whenever he wants!" Xiaocao replied impatiently.

"Grandma..." Yu Congcong said coquettishly.

"Your father is fine, you should go to bed." Xiaocao was helpless. This girl had asked this question hundreds of times.

"You've been so busy today that your wound has split open. You can't move anymore. Have you forgotten what Grandpa Liu said?" Xiaocao asked seriously.

"I know. Grandpa Liu said that if the wound splits again, it must be sutured again, and there will be no anesthetic this time." Yu Congcong whispered, her voice as if suppressed by fear. When she returned home this afternoon, Yu Congcong's wound had begun to bleed, staining her clothes with sticky dirt. Xiaocao was angry and heartbroken when she saw it, and anxiously asked Doctor Liu to see the wound. When Doctor Liu saw the situation, his eyes almost popped out, and his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in! When treating the wound, Yu Congcong was in so much pain that her tears fell like pearls that had broken off the string, crackling down like rain! After the wound was treated, Doctor Liu repeatedly repeated the things to pay attention to, and also frightened Yu Congcong that if she had to sew the stitches again, there would be no anesthetic, and it would be much more painful than it is now! Moreover, if the wound is accidentally split again, it might leave a very ugly scar, and it would not look good when she wears clothes in the future! When the time comes, other kids might laugh at you when they see your scar! So you must be obedient and don’t move around!

"Why don't you go to bed!" Xiao Cao deliberately put on a kind and gentle face and said fiercely. Why is this girl so difficult to deal with? Xiao Cao almost couldn't help laughing out loud and almost broke his composure.

"Oh, then when dad comes back, you must tell me right away." Yu Congcong was still worried. She blinked her big watery eyes and started bargaining with Xiaocao.

"You're already asleep, how can I tell you?" Xiao Cao found it funny and asked softly, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

"Then I'll lie down and pretend to be asleep, and then go to sleep for real when Dad comes back." Yu Congcong's eyes rolled around, and he said mischievously, with a sly smile on his face.

"Congcong, Dad is back." Seeing that it was too late, Yu Dazhuang thought that his mother and Congcong should have fallen asleep long ago. He tiptoed into the yard like a cat, but found that the light in the room was still on. He was wondering if his mother was worried about him and was still waiting. Unexpectedly, he heard the conversation between his mother and Congcong.
