Chapter 140 Suspicious characters
Such alliances are relatively fragile, and no one knows when the bearded group will turn against each other.
But to our surprise, after being untied by us, the bearded group of men spontaneously took several steps back, as they had agreed at the beginning, they were fifteen meters away from us.
"You are our saviors. No matter what happened before, today we will try our best to protect you through the dangerous journey!"
Facing the bearded man's gratitude expression, I just said lightly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since you know the shortcut, you can lead the way and let's follow."
The smile on the bearded man's face paused for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"Of course there is no problem. I know you are on guard against us, so we will never disturb you along the way. We will definitely protect you while leading the way!"
After saying that, the bearded man didn't say much nonsense, but arranged for his subordinates to lead the way.
The three of us looked at each other, but we didn't expect the bearded man to fulfill his promise.
However, we are safe for the time being.
Following the bearded man from afar, the three of us walked forward while always paying attention to the movements around us.
It took me about half an hour to walk forward. When I took out a kettle to drink water on my waist, I always felt like there were nonsense and looked at us from time to time.
I couldn't help but frown and drank no trace of water.
Then, while the look was still on my body, he quickly raised his head and looked over.
After seeing this, I realized that in the hands of the group of men behind the bearded man, there seemed to be someone looking at us from time to time, as if he was looking at us.
Occasionally, there are snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the man will solve it quietly.
This is a bit strange.
At first I didn't take it seriously, but after I noticed the man's sight, I would observe from time to time.
It was not until the end that I was sure that the man was secretly guarding us.
The man had a typical Nanyang look, thin and tall figure, but his skin was sallow and obviously had a malnourished look.
At some point when we were about to find a place to rest, I quietly called Yu Niang and Baoshu and whispered to them about this strange thing.
"Are you sure that person is really protecting us in a quiet and silent secret?"
After I finished saying everything, Baoshu had a little doubt and obviously didn't believe what I said.
It's Yu Niang, on the contrary.
She thought about what I said carefully, then looked up and looked at the person quietly.
Finally, when Baoshu and I had different opinions, they suddenly whispered: "Actually, if we want to determine what the person's intentions are, we just need to wait until the evening and make sure it is carefully."
"How to confirm?"
Baoshu and I asked in unison.
"If that person really plans to stand on our side, either tonight or early tomorrow morning, he will likely take the initiative to look for us. After all, if that person wants to stand on our side, he must be the same as the bearded man."
"No matter what kind of thought the bearded man beats today, that person is either an enemy or a friend."
What Yu Niang said is reasonable.
If the bearded man is sincerely helping us, then the person who secretly monitors us may be on the opposite side of the bearded man.
Or instead of the bearded man, he secretly observed us and then waited for an opportunity to do it.
No matter which possibility it is, this person who is secretly watching us should not be a simple person.
"It's better to hold your troops down first."
Although what Yu Niang said makes sense, I still suggested: "If the other party really wants to do something, there will definitely be some movement. Let's just keep the move and let it go."
"Are you planning to take the trick and catch them off guard?" Baoshu asked as if he thought of something.
I nodded: "That's right, so now we can pretend we don't know anything and follow them first."
Since we had agreed, after a brief rest for a while, we followed the bearded group again to rush forward.
In this way, we only stayed twice along the way because of eating, and we spent the whole day rushing non-stop.
When the weather was cold and it was almost evening, I found a safer open space and planned to set up camp for a night before rushing to the next day.
I found a safer place, and I almost finished what I should have, and I remembered the things during the day again.
The feeling of being monitored emerged again. I subconsciously looked not far away and realized that the tall and thin man was just dodging his eyes and was helping the bearded man to make fire.
I simply had enough food and drink, because the three of us didn’t trust the bearded guys very much, so I decided to follow the previous decision and take turns to watch.
The first half of the night was the treasure tree, and the second half of the night was me. As for Yu Niang, she was responsible for the vigil before dawn at three o'clock in the morning.
The three of us had a clear division of labor, and at 11:30 at night, Baoshu woke me up who was sleeping and went to rest.
It was my turn to be at night, so I yawned and sat next to the campfire, while burning the fire, while paying attention to the surrounding environment.
Not far away, the bearded man and his tent were very quiet, with only a few men on duty patrolling near the tent.
There was only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning in the air, and in addition to that, there were the sound of insects ringing one after another.
Everything seemed very quiet.
And when I looked at the bonfire in front of me, I suddenly noticed the surveillance feeling from the daytime.
Seeing someone patrolling not far away, I felt alert, but still pretended to be nothing but burned the fire.
But in fact, the strange feeling of being monitored became stronger and stronger, and almost reached its peak.
I kept my troops moving and looked around without a trace.
It was found that beside the patrolling people, there was a bearded man who was watching the night, and nothing was wrong.
"Don't move!"
At this moment, a low warning suddenly came from my ears.
I was shocked by the sudden sound and quickly turned around and took a look.
After seeing this, I realized that it turned out to be the tall and thin man during the day.
The man sat next to me carefully, lowering his head as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, lowering his voice and warning: "Don't trust our boss!"
Unexpectedly, this man came to me at the risk of being discovered by a bearded man and could only say this.
I don't believe that he said this just for jokes.
