Chapter 1850: Chapter 1850: Lost in the Wilderness (7)

Since they didn’t know what it was, Brother Gao could only treat Xiao Qiu first and gave him some medicine they brought.

Chuzheng stood by the water, gazing into it. In the original memory, there was a part where someone in the team got injured, which would slow them down.

That person seemed to be Xiao Qiu too...

However, it wasn’t the same way of getting injured.

The fish in the water swam leisurely, showing no signs of danger.

No idea what it could be...

But it wasn’t her concern, so Chuzheng watched for a while before asking Uncle Min to set up her tent.

Once Uncle Min set up the tent, Chuzheng rewarded him and went inside to rest.

Maybe because of Xiao Qiu’s incident, Lan Chen didn’t come to bother her today.

Midnight.

Chuzheng was woken by noise, she opened the tent and looked outside.

Xiao Qiu’s tent was surrounded by people.

”What’s wrong?” Chuzheng walked to Uncle Min and asked.

”Fever...” Uncle Min frowned, ”It’s already swollen up to his calf.”

Xiao Qiu had a high fever. His foot was originally swollen, but now his entire calf was swollen, looking rather alarming.

Someone suggested sending Xiao Qiu back to the ship immediately to avoid serious consequences.

However, this suggestion was not adopted in the end.

By the next day, Xiao Qiu’s fever had subsided, and he looked good, except his leg was still swollen.

Xiao Qiu claimed his leg didn’t hurt, and he could walk without issues.

So the team decided to continue.

But now there’s an important problem...

How will they cross?

This stream is about four to five meters wide, with water reaching only knee height, so crossing shouldn’t be a big issue.

But because of what happened to Xiao Qiu, who would dare enter the water?

A distance of four to five meters is significant for normal people, but jumping across isn’t impossible for some.

Gan Lu threw her bag first, then backed up, sprinted, and landed on the other side.

Chuzheng raised an eyebrow. Gan Lu’s temperament was inexplicable, but she was capable and knew her limits.

Brother Gao told them to wait, jumped over, and found some materials with Gan Lu to assemble a makeshift wooden bridge.

The term ’makeshift’ was quite apt, as a careless step could make you slip.

This tested balance.

Chuzheng glanced at the people crossing and walked upstream with her hands in her pockets.

”Yao Qing, it’s your turn!”

Yao Qing looked pale, tried several times, then shook his head, ”I can’t, I’m scared.”

”Hurry up, don’t waste everyone’s time.” Gan Lu urged, ”If you don’t come over, you’ll be left alone over there.”

”Qing Qing, don’t be afraid, you can do it.” Brother Gao encouraged Yao Qing, ”Focus on the front, it’s simple.”

But Yao Qing still shook his head.

The bridge could only hold one person at a time; two people would not only be a burden but limit movement.

Although falling wouldn’t drown you, what if you end up like Xiao Qiu?

Xiao Qiu seemed fine now, but his swollen leg was intimidating.

Yao Qing didn’t dare cross.

To save time, others crossed first, leaving Xiao Mo to accompany Yao Qing.

Eventually, everyone crossed except Yao Qing and Xiao Mo.

”Where’s Xiao Zheng?” Li Tian looked around but didn’t see Chuzheng, ”Where did she go?”

Xie Ningfeng and Lan Chen hadn’t noticed until now that she had disappeared.

Gan Lu sneered, ”Running around at a time like this, does she have a death wish?”

Li Tian ignored Gan Lu, cupped his hands to amplify his voice, and shouted, ”Xiao Zheng!!”

No one responded.

”Could something have happened to her?”

Xie Ningfeng murmured, ”She was just here... did she leave alone?”

”Why bother with her, she’s digging her own grave.” Lan Chen, displeased by Chuzheng before, was annoyed now, ”She thinks she’s still in the city; she’ll learn after suffering.”

Li Tian said nothing, unsure whether to refute Lan Chen or agree.

Gan Lu glanced at the trio, a mocking smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

Just then, Chuzheng leisurely emerged from the other side, holding a bunch of fruits resembling wild grapes.

”Xiao Zheng, how did you get from there?” Li Tian asked in surprise, ”How did you cross?”

Someone like Brother Gao could jump across directly, but Li Tian wasn’t sure about Chuzheng; could she jump over too?

Chuzheng handed the wild grapes to Uncle Min, who accepted them with surprise.

Chuzheng replied nonchalantly, ”There’s a way.”

”What?”

There were stones laid in the stream ahead, allowing someone to step across directly.

But the distance was far; they hadn’t reached that place during their check yesterday.

Yao Qing eventually crossed from that direction.

”Thank you.” As Yao Qing passed Chuzheng, he quietly offered thanks.

[Congratulations, Miss, on receiving a Thank-You Card ×1]

Chuzheng: ”???”

Is that possible?

A faint smile appeared on Yao Qing’s pale face; he nodded at Chuzheng before moving toward Brother Gao.

Gan Lu crossed her arms, stared at Chuzheng, ”You knew, why didn’t you say sooner?”

”I didn’t know.”

Gan Lu persisted, ”How could you not know if you went that way?”

”...” I only intended to cross where no one was. It was an accident.

”You did it deliberately, didn’t you?”

”Even if I did know, why should I tell you? Who are you to me?” Chuzheng regarded her coldly, ”Since we don’t consider each other teammates, we don’t need to share information, right?”

”You...”

”What about me?” Hit me! I just won’t tell you!

Gan Lu’s expression twisted, unable to counter Chuzheng.

If she claimed they were all one team now, it’d be shameless. Gan Lu couldn’t say that.

In the end, she swallowed her anger.

With external concerns resolved, internal ones remained.

Li Tian, suspicious and dissatisfied, questioned Chuzheng, ”Xiao Zheng, why didn’t you inform us either?”

Though they all managed to cross, having a safer path left undisclosed felt unpleasant.

”Why should I tell you?” Are we close? You take your narrow bridge, I’ll take my sunny road!

Li Tian’s anger flared.

”Liu Chuzheng, talking this way is unreasonable. We’ve been taking care of you along the way.”

”Besides, you took the money; you should understand that you should complete the task when paid, right?”

Facing Li Tian’s anger, Chuzheng showed no fear, taking a bag from Uncle Min and pulling out two stacks of cash, slapping them in front of Li Tian.

The girl’s clear voice slowly emerged, ”I’m returning the money to you.”

How did Li Tian and the original promise her?

Just to go out for a spin, but that spin nearly cost her life.

The original was foolish; she wouldn’t be.

Chuzheng took out another stack, ”This is the penalty fee, is that sufficient?”

Familiar currency appeared in sight, momentarily stupefying the three present.

Did she carry so much cash out here?!

Is she crazy?

Chuzheng’s actions also caught the attention of Brother Gao and his group.

Seeing so much money, their expressions varied, but their emotions were unclear.
