On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 433 Saw Another World

Xu Hui asked Jiang Tang somewhat nervously.

The leeches in the stream gave Xu Hui the feeling that it wasn't safe to be on this hillside.

What if they come up from the stream while we're asleep in the middle of the night? Wouldn't we all be wiped out?

Xu Hui's concerns are not unfounded.

Jiang Tang looked at the stream below and then at the surrounding terrain. She said, "If we're going to move, we can only move to the mountains and forests behind us, not to the front."

"Okay, let's move it then."

Before it got dark, they quickly dismantled the tents they had set up and retreated about 100 meters into the mountains behind them.

The place they entered was the shortest of the nearby mountains; moving back about a hundred meters would almost take them to the summit.

We're only ten or twenty meters away from the summit.

Cut some branches with a knife, pile them outside the camp, and start setting up the tent.

The team of nine members divided the work among themselves: some set up tents, some stood guard, some cooked, some made simple traps and defenses, and some dug drainage ditches.

There was a clear division of labor, and everyone did their own job.

Deng Ping was roasting wild boar, and there was also a roe deer on the rack. In a pot on the side, a pot of pheasant meat was cooking.

Fortunately, they had filled a stream behind the mountain with enough drinking water.

Otherwise, things will be terrible.

Fortunately, there are many crisscrossing streams in these mountains.

If the only water source around here was that little stream, they would probably have been bitten through the stomach by leeches.

Deng Ping prepared the food by herself.

Jiang Tang stood to the side, whittling her wooden stick with a dagger, showing no intention of helping.

Deng Ping stopped complaining about it.

It's been like this all along the way.

Jiang Tang can hunt and bring back plenty of wild game, but she absolutely cannot cook.

In Deng Ping's words, Jiang Tang's cooking skills were so bad that they were completely unpresentable.

Jiang Tang herself wasn't annoyed and let Deng Ping say whatever she wanted.

Just like now, Deng Ping asked her in confusion, "Why are you whittling so many sticks?"
Jiang Tang answered without looking up, "Murder."

Deng Ping gasped, "Who are you killing? Who else is in these mountains besides us?"

She lowered her voice, asking Jiang Tang to speak more quietly.

Jiang Tang said "Oh," and then added, "That means killing the enemy."

There's no rule that this enemy can only be a person.

Deng Ping couldn't argue with Jiang Tang, so she could only continue preparing her food.

She talked to Jiang Tang while rummaging through the wild boar and roe deer on the shelf.

"Don't you think it's too quiet around here? That basin down there is so quiet that you can't even hear a bird chirping. Isn't that strange?"

To be honest, Deng Ping was also feeling uneasy.

Jiang Tang gave a soft "hmm" without stopping her hands.

Deng Ping...

Talking to her is infuriating.

Deng Ping couldn't help but scold her.

"Is Lu Changzheng the only person you can talk to? Will it hurt you to say another word to anyone else? You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Tang looked up.

"Deng Ping".

"What?"

Deng Ping was interrupted and glared at Jiang Tang in annoyance, noticing that Jiang Tang's expression was different.

She paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"

"You got angry just because I mentioned Lu Changzheng?"

Deng Ping thought Jiang Tang was angry.

Jiang Tang's gaze remained fixed on Deng Ping's face. She saw Deng Ping's red lips slightly parted as she softly asked, "If you were given another chance to choose, would you choose to stay here or go back?"

"Should we stay here or go back?"

Her words left Deng Ping bewildered. "Are you asking whether to stay in the mountains or go back to the city? Isn't that obvious? I'm definitely going back to the city."

Her home, her children, her lover, her job, and her friends are all in the city.

How could she possibly stay here?

"This is where we used to live."

Jiang Tang explained in a calm tone that she meant by "going back" to a certain place.

Deng Ping was stunned. She looked around; Xu Hui and the others were all busy.

She lowered her voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You've found a way back?"

"I saw."

Jiang Tang didn't hide anything, "I saw it on the morning of the day the lizard attacked."

"What do you see? The place where we used to live?"

Deng Ping looked puzzled.

Jiang Tang nodded.

“I killed that lizard, but it just vanished into thin air.”

There is only one possibility that could cause this situation.

This primeval forest, which has never been set foot in by anyone, was, at some point in time, connected to another world.

She is still unsure whether the disappearance of the twelve team members who came earlier is related to another world.

But she was certain that the large lizard had fallen into the world she and Deng Ping used to live in.

Deng Ping found Jiang Tang's words to be too absurd.

She found it hard to believe for a moment.

Does such a thing really exist?

"Aren't we the best explanation?"

Jiang Tang wasn't too surprised that this place could connect to another world.

The world is so big, there are many unpredictable things, and she will not deny the existence of such things just because she has not encountered them.

That said, she did indeed witness another world in the morning mist that day.

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, she saw it clearly.

Upon suddenly learning of this, Deng Ping fell silent.

Soon, her meal was ready.

Xu Hui and the others returned from outside, washed their hands with water from the kettle, thanked them, and sat down to eat.

We lived together in the mountains for more than ten days, and it can be said that we have formed a deep revolutionary friendship.

Now, when we're together, it's more comfortable and natural than when we first formed the team.

Deng Ping had little appetite.

Jiang Tang didn't care; she ate, drank, and slept as usual.

Seeing Jiang Tang's appearance, Deng Ping was so angry that she fell backward.

She wasn't worried at all about whether they would suddenly go back to that other world.
Deng Ping glared angrily at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang blinked and handed her lunchbox to Deng Ping.

"I've finished the chicken leg."

"Look, there's nothing left in the lunchbox."

Deng Ping...

She didn't actually want the chicken leg in Jiang Tang's lunchbox, okay?
Furious, Deng Ping channeled her anger into her appetite and began to eat heartily.

Jiang Tang?

I had absolutely no idea why Deng Ping was angry.

Take the lunchbox back and continue eating your own meal.

By the time they had finished eating, it was getting dark.

The mountains at night are still quite dangerous.

Especially since they had just eaten delicious roasted wild boar and roe deer, it was naturally easier for them to attract the attention of other wild animals.

Jiang Tang took the bones and dumped them in the woods a little further away.

A breeze was blowing through the woods.

Jiang Tang pulled her coat tighter, draped her hand over a nearby tree, and listened intently to the message carried by the wind.

After listening for a while, she withdrew her hand and slowly returned to the camp.

She was the only one who dared to wander aimlessly through the mountains and forests on such a night, without even a flashlight.

Xu Hui stood by the campfire and watched her walk back safely before his heart finally settled down.

Just as he was about to speak to Jiang Tang, he saw Luo Haiqiang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stand up.

He kept repeating, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
