Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Chapter 219 Encountering danger

Liu Shangwu responded to Mu Xiaoqiao: "It shouldn't be like that. I looked at everyone's starting point. We are closest to the river in a straight line. And today we are marching quickly. Our speed is not the fastest, but there shouldn't be many who can catch up with us. Besides, even if other teams are marching at a similar distance to us, they won't meet here because of their different starting points. So, the people in front are probably not ours."

The military exercise area is usually cleared in advance, and there are people guarding the periphery. Ordinary people basically don't enter, so people who appear here at this time are somewhat suspicious.

The four of them did not dare to be careless and walked more carefully without making any noise. Fortunately, the photographer did not follow them into the water, but drove away.

They reached the shore quietly, collected the ropes, and slowly approached the direction of the fire.

It was now clear enough to see that there was a fire right next to the woods, with some unknown meat being roasted on it. The aroma wafted over, making the people who had only eaten dry food for a day swallow their saliva.

There were five or six people sitting not far from the fire. They were wearing ordinary clothes and chatting while eating meat. I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.

Getting a little closer, Mu Xiaoqiao suddenly grabbed Liu Shangwu and whispered, "They have guns."

Liu Shangwu's expression suddenly changed, and he looked over at the few people. Sure enough, he saw that a person who was facing them had a gun on his waist. Because it was illuminated by the firelight, they could see it, but others could not.

It is now almost certain that they have encountered a criminal gang. This place is not far from the border. These people may have come here illegally and are carrying guns. I am afraid they are engaged in smuggling.

Liu Shangwu gestured to everyone to retreat and not to come any closer. They only had blank bullets in their hands at the moment, and two of them were new recruits. They were afraid that they would not be able to gain any advantage against these vicious people.

The four of them began to retreat quietly. At this moment, a man facing them saw them and shouted, "Who's over there?"

As soon as he shouted, everyone around the fire stood up and looked over. The four of them hurriedly hid behind the trees, their hearts pounding.

Those people started to come over here, and some even pulled out their guns. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, at the critical moment, Liu Shangwu began to take off his coat and said to Mao Yunshu, "You should change your clothes quickly too."

He quickly took out an ordinary T-shirt from his backpack, and Mao Yunshu reacted quickly and also took out an ordinary coat.

"Pack up your things and hide them."

Liu Shangwu said this to Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao. After he finished speaking, he walked out, raised his hands and walked towards the group of people, saying with a smile: "Brothers, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Stop, who is it?"

The other party raised his gun. Liu Shangwu stopped immediately and pretended to be scared. "Hello, brothers, my girlfriend and I came here to play. We accidentally got lost and ended up here. When we saw people here, we wanted to come over to ask for directions. My girlfriend was scared when she saw so many people and didn't dare to go over, so she hid..."

As he said that, he turned around and shouted, "Yun Shu, come out quickly."

Mao Yunshu took this opportunity to change his clothes and told Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao that if they could escape, they must contact Zhou Hanqing immediately.

Mu Xiaoqiao was extremely nervous, but there was nothing she could do. She knew that she had to split her forces into two groups at this moment. The other side was a gangster and was really deadly. If they were not careful, all four of them might die. Now was not the time to show off. Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu were real special forces soldiers, and she believed in them.

Hearing Liu Shangwu's shout, Mao Yunshu took a deep breath, slowly poked his head out from behind the tree, pretending to be very scared. Liu Shangwu waved his hand again, "Yunshu, come out, don't be afraid, the big brothers are all very nice."

Mao Yunshu walked out reluctantly, took Liu Shangwu's hand, and shrank behind him, playing the role of a shy and socially anxious girl to perfection.

Seeing that there was a girl, the others relaxed their vigilance a little. The leading man asked, "Did you really get lost and come here?"

Liu Shangwu said with a bitter face, "If you are not lost, who would run into this dark woods in the middle of the night? My girlfriend is timid and she was scared all the way."

The men looked at each other, and a skinny man said to the leader, "Brother Lin, it looks like it's real. We just entered the country, so we shouldn't cause any trouble."

"But once they saw what we looked like, there was no guarantee they wouldn't call the police after letting them go, so we had to do this to prevent future trouble." Another short man had a vicious expression on his face.

"You're crazy. This is not outside the country. It's hard to resolve the issue if we kill someone here. Besides, didn't we see armed police when we just came in? I'm afraid there are troops nearby." The skinny monkey observed carefully and thought thoughtfully.

The short man was at a loss and looked at the leader, "Brother Lin, what do you think we should do?"

Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu watched these people arguing, and their hands secretly tightened the daggers at their waists. If these people really wanted to kill people to silence them, they could only fight to the death. They only hoped that Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao had left and sent the message out.

The leader, Brother Lin, looked burly but was actually very smart. He thought for a moment and said, "Liu Zi is right. We just got here, so it's better to have less trouble than more. Tie these two up and keep them company tonight. We'll leave tomorrow and let them fend for themselves."

Liuzi is the skinny monkey.

It seemed that they were planning to abandon them in this mountain. Fortunately, they didn't plan to kill them. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They decided to tie them up and delay time to wait for reinforcements.

Then two people came up and tied Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu together back to back. Mao Yunshu screamed in fear, and Liu Shangwu hurriedly comforted her in a low voice. This act made those people even more convinced that the two were just ordinary people who came here to travel.

As for Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao, when Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu went out, they quietly packed up their things and retreated step by step into the depths of the woods. Only after they were sure that the other party could no longer hear their voices did they take out the walkie-talkie and contact Zhou Hanqing to report the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanqing immediately told them to stay where they were and not to move, especially not to get close to that group of people. Then he began to report to his superiors, and at the same time notified all the exercise personnel not to get close to this side, and then began to deploy a capture plan.

After Mu Xiaoqiao sent the location via radio, the two of them became idle. After waiting for a few minutes, Mu Xiaoqiao said, "I'm still worried about them."

Ruan Haoyu nodded, "I am also worried, but the two of us are too obvious targets. The Iron Man is currently on air, and everyone knows that the two of us are in the military camp. If we show up, all of us will be exposed immediately."

Mu Xiaoqiao also understood the seriousness of the situation. "I'm not saying we have to show up. We can hide and see. If they are fine for now, we can stay hidden. If they are in danger, we can help them. We can't just watch them get into trouble. They went out to protect us."

Ruan Haoyu thought what she said made sense, so the two of them did what they said. They took off their military uniforms, changed into ordinary clothes, and hid all their equipment, including Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu's equipment. They only brought daggers and radio positioning equipment, and quietly approached the river where the gang was again.

This time the two men were particularly careful and did not disturb anyone. They looked out from a distance in the woods and saw that several of the gang members were sleeping in a mess, with only one person left on guard. Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu were sitting back to back with their heads tilted, as if they had also fallen asleep.

But Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao knew that they definitely could not fall asleep. These criminals did not kill anyone, they just tied them up. It seemed that they were temporarily paralyzed and should not be in danger for a while.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. In that case, they just had to stay here and wait for rescue to arrive.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already late at night. The sentry was drowsy and stopped walking back and forth. Instead, he stood against a tree, yawning one after another. He no longer stared at Liu Shangwu and Mao Yunshu. At this moment, the two men moved.
