Chapter 286 Return

"You're welcome." Jiang Yu waved his hand and went to find other people.

When she brought the others back to the temporary cave, it was already late at night. Fu Biao had not yet gone to bed, and among the three militiamen, only the reckless one fell to the ground and fell asleep. The other two forced themselves to stay awake, waiting for Jiang Yu to come back.

The noise outside quickly alerted the three people. Fortunately, Jiang Yu spoke first and called Fu Biao.

Fu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the noise outside, he guessed that she must have brought everyone back. He quickly took the other two people to dig the snow to block the cave entrance.

The people outside were also digging, and soon the two sides met.

Everyone was there, no one was missing. Fu Biao immediately smiled happily, looked at Jiang Yu, and shook his thumb at her vigorously.

When the others saw this, they felt relieved and silently raised their thumbs to Jiang Yu.

After blocking the snow wall again, the militiamen lit two more fires, and the temperature in the cave gradually increased.

The militiamen who had escaped death quickly showed signs of fatigue in the warm environment.

This was even more true for Jiang Yu. Although she was not under great psychological pressure, the journey to find someone had consumed a lot of her physical strength. She simply took out the oilcloth and mattress from the backpack, spread them on the ground, and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Except for the two people who were trying hard to apply medicine to the injured, everyone quickly lost consciousness and snored in their sleep around the fire.

When Jiang Yu woke up the next day, Fu Biao had already eaten and was writing something.

I don’t know what he was writing, but he even brought paper and pen with him when he went out.

The sound of the pencil rubbing against the paper is quite pleasant, it feels very soothing.

Jiang Yu woke up from his lying on the bed, then sat up.

The militiaman next to her saw her wake up and hurriedly greeted her, "Jiang Zhiqing, we just boiled some water here, go wash up first."

"Yes, yes, Jiang Zhiqing, do you want to bake pancakes? I can help you. Let me tell you, my family always asks me to make pancakes. My mother said that I bake them very well. Do you want to try?"

"Jiang Zhiqing, I have some mustard greens soup. I'll give you a bowl to warm your stomach."

Jiang Yu wanted to lie down again because of the noise, so she waved her hands and said, "Alright, alright, alright, you guys just go and do your own things. I can get what I need myself."

Seeing this, those people had to shut up, sit by the fire, and watch Jiang Yu wrap himself in a tattered cotton jacket and start washing.

"Jiang Zhiqing, um, I brought some needle and thread. Let me help you sew your cotton jacket. Otherwise, if you wear it like this, the cotton will leak out." The militiaman who looked the youngest mustered up the courage and said to Jiang Yu.

"Did you bring needle and thread? Lend it to me." There was no need for her to help with sewing. Although her sewing was not very good-looking, she still felt it was better for her to do it herself.

The man didn't expect that Jiang Yu only needed to borrow needle and thread. He thought that Jiang Zhiqing, who had always been careless, would not be able to do this kind of work. When the people around him saw that he was stunned, they quickly patted him on the shoulder.

The man came to his senses and hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from his backpack. The bag contained needles and thread. He handed it over and said, "Here."

Jiang Yu put down the water cup, walked over to take the cloth bag, and placed it on the mattress where he slept, preparing to mend the cotton-padded jacket after dinner.

When Fu Biao and Jiang Yu started to bake pancakes, he told her that the guide had said in the morning that he was going to take everyone back directly.

"Just leave like that?" They didn't catch any prey. Jiang Yu felt that it would be a bad idea to return empty-handed, especially when compared to her and Fu Biao's fruitful harvest.

Fu Biao nodded, "He said it was too dangerous. Yesterday's experience made everyone very tired, and several people were injured. If they continue to stay, it will have a great impact on their health."

In this kind of weather, some of them will suffer from the cold air entering their bodies from their wounds.

"Okay." Jiang Yu herself had a lot of wounds. Although she had applied medicine and wrapped them with gauze, it would be beneficial for her to go back early and rest well.

Fu Biao handed her a piece of wolf meat and asked her to grill it and heat it up. "It's not seasoned enough, so it doesn't taste very good."

Jiang Yu laughed, "You deserve a beating for saying that, you know?"

Fu Biao shrugged. He was just telling the truth. Wolf meat just didn't taste good. It was hard and fishy.

Ginger Fish tried to warm up the meat and took a bite to taste it.

The next second, she began to think about what to do with the wolf meat.

Should I try to find a way to solve it on the black market, or make a fortune in the team? The former makes more money, while the latter is safe and risk-free.

After dinner, the guide came over to discuss with Jiang Yu, "Let's take another route back to the brigade. Jiang Zhiqing, do you think it's okay?"

"Of course you can, you can make the decision on your own about such matters." She is the bodyguard hired by Zhuang Shouren, you can do whatever you want, her only responsibility is to make sure no one dies.

The leader was very happy to see that she had no objection, "Then everyone should pack up and get ready to set off."

"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded.

Today is still a day of heavy snow, but the white mountains suddenly become pleasing to everyone's eyes.

Maybe it’s because we’re on our way home, everyone’s mentality is different.

Not only them, Jiang Yu and Fu Biao were also in a good mood. Soon they would be able to leave the snowy mountains and return to their warm home. How could people not be excited?

Apart from what happened yesterday, the militiamen in the hunting team had become much more obedient. Although the leader was eager to return home and walked very fast, they did not complain and just kept on following.

Jiang Yu and Fu Biao, carrying their spoils, still walked at the end of the team.

The journey was peaceful. Apart from two unlucky people who were buried by snow falling from the treetops, there were no other accidents.

Just when Jiang Yu thought they were going to go back empty-handed, they met a few silly roe deer.

Why are there such stupid animals in this world? Their first reaction when they see people is not to run away, but to look around curiously, and finally die here.

Jiang Yu and Fu Biao also took action. The silly roe deer in front of them were hunted by the militia. A dozen people carried five silly roe deer, and they were so happy that their teeth were not visible and they were very proud.

The guide originally wanted to ask whether he should share some with Jiang Yu and the others, but when he saw them walking away and dragging back two stupid roe deer that blocked their view, he silently shut his mouth.

Other people's gains will only be more than theirs, so they don't need to share a part of it.

Jiang Yu threw the silly roe deer on the simple cart and followed the team.

Fu Biao carried another dragging hemp rope on his shoulder and moved with her.

"At least I have gained something." Fu Biao looked at the young people in front of him and felt that the trip was not in vain.

"Do you think that, apart from the silly roe deer, did they get anything else from this trip?" Jiang Yu thought about everything that happened last night. For this group of people, their lives were almost in danger.
