45 What kind of doctor are you? (1/2)

Compared to Yang Xiaojin, the others in the team were far less cautious based on Ren Xiaosu's observations. With 12 soldiers here, not even one of them were willing to be the night watchman.

It was obvious that everyone was in deep sleep as there was loud snoring coming from the tents. Although the larger beasts had been kept outside the stronghold perimeter, these people were still too careless.

However, Yang Xiaojin's breathing was even and light. It was obvious that she had not entered deep sleep.

Ren Xiaosu felt that it was normal for him to be cautious because he had seen a lot of people getting stabbed to death in their sleep at night. But what kind of environment did Yang Xiaojin live in for her to develop a similar habit?

He felt that a person's past experiences would determine their current thoughts and habits. Yang Xiaojin must have gone through some very dangerous situations in the past.

At dawn, Ren Xiaosu went to check on the place where he had dumped the fish bones before everyone else woke up. He had specially set aside some scraps last night to see if any wild animals would get attracted by it.

A lot of people feared wild animals because they felt that they were not afraid of humans due to their ferocity. However, wild animals were not that reckless. In fact, most of them were exceedingly cautious. Usually, a solitary animal would leave when they spotted so many tents set up in an area. But as the fish scraps and bones were dumped far away from the campsite, it should attract some wild animals and make them leave behind some tracks.

Ren Xiaosu carefully approached the area where he dumped the fish scraps and bones. He kept an eye on his surroundings for any signs of beasts that could have been there before him but saw nothing suspicious.

But upon reaching the spot, he realized that all of the fish scraps and bones on the ground had disappeared and that there were no signs of any animal tracks around it!

Ren Xiaosu immediately took his bone knife out of his sleeves and kept a watchful eye on the surroundings. He kept his guard up as he stepped back cautiously. Was it ants that carried away the fish scraps and bones? This was quite a possibility since ants nowadays had grown to become as large as a human's finger pads. If an ant nest were nearby, it would be quite normal for them to carry it away in just one night.

But Ren Xiaosu still held some doubt. When he returned to the campsite, everyone was already packing up and getting ready to set off. They were all folding their tents and stuffing them back into the trunks of the off-road vehicles. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

by the vehicles, Liu Bu was still complaining to Luo Xinyu, ”Xinyu, you shouldn't have traded the chocolate with him. Does a refugee deserve to eat something like that?”

Luo Xinyu ignored him. She also had not expected that she would end up giving two bars of chocolate away!

The convoy set off. They finally started venturing deep into the woods with the directions that Ren Xiaosu had plotted for them. Sunrays shone through the canopy of the trees, beautifying the entire woods.

By this point, everyone had long forgotten about the fear from yesterday night that was brought on by the discovery of the large hoofprints of a deer. Ren Xiaosu could even hear singing coming from the vehicles behind him. A group of soldiers were laughing loudly as they cracked dirty jokes.

It felt as though everyone were here on a picnic.

There was a short stretch where they had to travel quite close to the riverbank. Ren Xiaosu said to the driver, ”Keep as far away from the river as possible.”

He did not exactly know what dangers lurked in the river, but last night's events had left an intense impression on him.

However, the driver thought otherwise. ”There's quite a distance between us and the riverbank. Besides, aren't there only some fish in the river? Don't tell me that they can leap ashore and bite you on the face? You'll be fine as long as you don't go swimming.”

Ren Xiaosu did not say anything else. He made the decision that if there were any danger, he would shake off these fools and make a quick escape by himself.

At this moment, the point vehicle that Ren Xiaosu was in braked hard. The driver from the private army said in apprehension, ”Look!”

Ren Xiaosu turned to look and was surprised to see a large red deer.
