Chapter 410 Abnormal
Chapter 410 Abnormal
Ye Shu realized something was wrong as early as during the day when he discovered that a small team had broken away.
Hearing Huo Yisheng say this, she was not particularly surprised.
She just wanted to ask when he would be back, but there were too many people here and she didn't feel comfortable asking.
Huo Yisheng, of course, saw what she was thinking. He took the opportunity to kiss her cheek and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."
There were sounds of adults talking and children running and laughing all around, so no one else could hear what they were whispering to each other.
Huo Yisheng and a small team quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Shu looked at the camp where laughter and joy were heard one after another, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Perhaps this is the concrete embodiment of "The reason we live in a peaceful world is because someone is carrying the burden for us"!
Although she didn't know what mission Huo Yisheng and the others were going to carry out, at this moment, she prayed devoutly for them in her heart, hoping that all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens and all the Bodhisattvas would bless them all to return safely, without missing a single one.
In the past, she never believed in such strange things and thought they were feudal superstitions.
But now, she can travel through time and has a magical golden finger, and her thoughts have changed dramatically.
After dinner, everyone rested for a while and then regrouped and set off again.
The little ones spend less time sleeping and more time playing in the car during the day. Now that they are full and satisfied, the car rocks back and forth like a cradle, and they soon fall asleep.
The one driving was Lao Ren. Ye Shu originally wanted to keep his eyes open to watch the road for him so that he wouldn't fall asleep.
Old Ren noticed she was very sleepy and immediately said, "Comrade Ye Shu, you should go to sleep too. We have to travel overnight and won't stop to rest until we refuel."
Ye Shu: "I'll watch the road for you."
Lao Ren: "No need. I slept in the car ahead for a while during the day, so I'm not sleepy now. I'll switch cars and let Xiao Gao drive. Besides, I'm in the middle, so I don't have to watch anything."
Seeing that he was indeed in good spirits and did not seem to be forcing himself, Ye Shu did not insist any more. She covered the children with quilts, covered them with her military coat, and secretly took out a bottle of hot salt water to cover them before going to sleep.
On the first day of traveling like this, everyone was curious, especially the children. They were so happy that they started running around as soon as they got off the bus.
Even the three little ones, who are so tiny, have to roll in the snow before they can feel at ease!
There's snow on Island No. 3, so what's different about the snow here?!
But by the next day, everything had wilted.
We were so tired from riding in the car that we couldn’t sleep well. We all felt like eggplants hit by frost.
Fortunately, we were not deprived of food. The families who traveled with us actually had better food on the road than at home.
They can't eat seafood every day at home.
We had fish paste soup for one meal, braised fish for the next, or grilled shrimps and crabs, or even grilled fish. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
For a moment, the comrades in the family compound had a different impression of Ye Shu.
Two more days passed like this, and Huo Yisheng still hadn't returned, so the team continued to move forward as usual.
Ye Shu was actually quite worried about whether the children could handle it, but in the end she found out that it was only her own mentality that couldn't handle it.
The children were so happy. When they opened their eyes, they had friends to play with, sleep together, eat together, and play together. There was not even any noise because the only uncertain factor was that the third child was completely suppressed by the second and third children.
The second and third children sometimes throw tantrums, but they are suppressed by Guaiguai, and Xuan'er is very obedient.
In short, the five children formed a harmonious circle of their own, and Ye Shu had nothing to do with them at all.
That day, the convoy arrived at a valley where there happened to be a spacious flat area, so everyone stopped to reorganize.
As usual, everyone was busy with their own things.
Ye Shu was boiling water, which he had filled from the river during his previous break. Although it had been snowing in the area he had come to since yesterday, it was obviously more humid than the previous areas, so the snow fell and melted quickly. Without accumulated snow, he could not boil snow water like before.
Sister Jin came over and said, "I heard from the young soldier that there's a river over there. Hurry up and grab the buckets, and let's go get some water!"
Whether you are cooking, filling a bottle of salt water, or making milk or sugar water, you need a lot of water.
So everyone took turns to fetch water, and Ye Shu also went. Mainly because she wanted to go to the river to relieve fatigue. Although she couldn't go swimming in the river, it was good to soak her hands and wash them. It didn't actually have much effect in relieving fatigue, but it was just a psychological comfort!
It was originally a trivial matter, and everyone carried the water back and did what they had to do as before.
But as soon as Ye Shu put his hand into the river, he immediately noticed something strange.
Is there someone in the water?!
Not one, but two people!
She glanced across the river. The river was quite deep and the water was turbulent.
Would anyone in their right mind swim in a raging river like that, in the middle of winter?
It's unlikely, unless she is special, after all, she can even go into the sea.
Is it possible for a normal person to dive into such a bottomless river without coming up?
It's unlikely, at least, the ordinary mountain people here shouldn't do that.
But she was sure there were two people in the water.
So, this is very unusual!
She frowned and looked at the river, but did not leave immediately. She was wondering if these people would come up.
But they didn't. Not only did they not come up, they even dived down!
Ye Shu took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and thought quickly, who should he tell this to?
If Huo Yisheng were here, she would undoubtedly tell him.
But now...
She thought of Huo Yisheng's instructions before he left, to find Lao Ren or Xiao Gao if she had any problems...
She calmed herself down and decided to take a gamble.
She found Ren Chunhe, who was having dinner with the soldiers. When Ren Chunhe saw her, he immediately stood up and asked, "Comrade Ye Shu, what's the matter?"
Ye Shu nodded seriously: "Yes, come with me."
She didn't take him to the river, but just took a few steps away from people and asked, "If someone hides in the river now and doesn't come up, do you think it's normal?"
Ren Chunhe immediately became alert: "That's not normal. What did you find?"
Ye Shu glanced towards the river and whispered, "There's someone hiding in that river."
Ren Chunhe was surprised: "Are you sure? How did you know?"
Ye Shu: "Just now when we went to the river to fetch water, I saw a figure. It seemed to be about to go ashore, but after seeing us, it retreated."
She deliberately reminded him, "Did Huo Yisheng tell you that my eyesight is very good in water? So I must be right."
Ren Chunhe has already paid close attention: "Are you sure the person hasn't escaped yet?"
Ye Shu: "Probably not. We have people cleaning the pots and pans over there all the time. If someone came up, they would have seen it."
