Chapter 243  . Slander And Scheming

An ye and Ye Xin had the same goal. If they didn’t expose themselves, they would find a way to defame Zhuang Xian. It would be best if they could make everyone hate her!

Ye Xin glanced at An Ye and Zhuang Jie and retorted in a soft voice, “Don’t talk about our team leader like that; she’s not that kind of person! It’s only been a while. If we wait a little longer, she will find us with the squad monitor! It’s still a long time before it gets dark, so we don’t have to worry!”

Lin Feng looked at Ye Xin with a strange expression. It was almost six O’clock, and the sky had darkened earlier in the mountains. Why did she sound like she was being sarcastic? However, when had Zhuang Xian ever offended Ye Xin? Although Lin Feng was brilliant, he really couldn’t understand the complicated things between girls!

Zhang Yang, who was even more confused than him, was even more confused. He felt Ye Xin’s words were a little strange, but he could not figure out precisely what she was talking about. So, he said, “That’s right, we have to believe in our vice squad monitor. There are more than ten people here; how could she forget?”

Li Qin looked at the sky in the forest, slowly darkening. With a cold face, he reminded me, “We’re not prepared for any unexpected situations. Everyone, take out the flashlights in your military backpacks! Let’s all gather together and sit back to back together. We’ll observe the situation in the forest!”

Zhuang Jie asked tremblingly, “Why are you doing this? Why don’t we go back? Maybe we may bump into the squad monitor and the others? It’s better than sitting around and waiting for death!”

Li Qin turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Jie, his eyes cold. “Do you think you can catch up with the Vice squad monitor with your leg strength? If you don’t understand, then don’t talk nonsense! We’re all timid and afraid, to begin with. If you continue to shake the morale of the Army like this, I won’t be polite to you!”

Seeing Zhuang Jie’s pale face and speechlessness, Li Qin raised his hand and gathered the students around him. He did not forget to explain, “We can’t go anywhere right now. The best choice is to stay here and wait for the squad monitor and vice squad monitor to bring people over to meet us! Half an hour of walking in the woods is enough for the Vice squad monitor to make several rounds. She must have been caught up in something if she didn’t come back!”

“Maybe she has already met up with the squad monitor and the others! If we turn back at this time and miss them, we’ll be finished! Do you have any experience spending the night in the jungle?”

Li Qin asked and arranged everyone around him. He looked at Zhuang Jie and An Ye, who had not moved for a long time. He speechlessly pouted and did not intend to care about these two people courting death.

How could these young masters and ladies have the experience of spending the night in the jungle? Like frightened little chicks, they could only listen to the words of Li Qin, who seemed to be the most experienced one among them!

An Ye saw this scene and knew the best way was to listen to Li Qin first. At least everyone would feel safer sitting back to back. She supported Zhuang Jie and walked towards the crowd, landing on the periphery.

Being close to each other made everyone feel a little more at ease. Some boys began to make suggestions to ease their current embarrassment. “Why don’t we find some firewood and light a fire? I’ve seen survival in the wilderness on TV. If there’s an open fire, it can drive away some wild beasts that want to get close and keep us warm.”

“Yeah, yeah! I think it’s feasible. If there’s a fire, the surroundings will be brighter. Maybe the squad monitor will be able to see us directly?”

“Well said! Who’s going to pick up firewood now?” Li Qin stood in front of them and said indifferently.

As he spoke, he kicked the thick dead leaves under his feet and shone the flashlight in his hand at the dense vegetation around him. Then he said strangely, “Do you want to light up the mountain or burn it? Besides, do you have fuel in your pocket? With just us small fries, we should know our place! I won’t die if I don’t seek death!”

Everyone was speechless.

Zhang Yang touched the lighter in his military training suit pocket. …!

Forget it; Brother Qin’s words make sense. With just a few of them, it’s best not to dream of doing something that’s simply impossible!

As night fell, Li Qin looked in the direction that Zhuang Xian had left in and started to feel a little worried!
