"Bring me the first-aid kit." Ji Mo said coldly to Zhou Bai, while he himself pulled Xian Yu over to sit down on a nearby rock, carefully examining her injuries.
He involuntarily shrunk back a bit, "It's not that serious, just a scratch."
She really thinks it's nothing, compared to Ji Mo's last knife wound on his chest, this is simply a small trick versus a big one.
Ji Mo, who could ignore the knife wounds on himself, was surprisingly distressed by this small scratch on her hand.
"Sorry."
His low voice was filled with thick self-blame, which scared her so much that she didn't even think of shrinking back anymore. Instead, she grasped his hand tightly and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have run into those grave robbers, and the consequences would be much more severe than this. You protected me."
Ji Mo smiled gently at her, as if comforted, but the guilt in his eyes didn't decrease by half.
Having no other choice, he changed the subject and pointed at those tomb raiders who were either unconscious or wailing incessantly, asking "What's going on with them?"
Ji Mo took over the medical box handed by Zhou Bo and gently cleaned her wound while softly explaining.
"They were a gang of grave robbers, disguised as backpackers, constantly probing the location of ancient tombs. There were too many people, I didn't dare to alert them, so I could only follow behind until they went down into the tomb, and then I found an opportunity to take them out one by one."
The tomb was originally not far from the hiding place, but this group of grave robbers obviously didn't learn their skills well, and they spent a lot of time searching for the location of the ancient tomb along the way.
"You know what happened afterwards, I informed Zhou Bo and they came to take over this matter."
Ji Mo said it lightly, but in his spare time, he could hear the unspoken danger.
A group of around ten tomb raiders, and who knows how many deadly traps are still hidden in the ancient tomb. Any one of them could be fatal for him.
She had always understood the dangers of being a soldier, but this was her first time coming so close to that danger.
An impulse to make Ji Mo give up his military career almost blurted out, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Her interstellar parents were also soldiers, and it was their sacrifice that brought about her growth. The same is true of the earth, where countless military contributions and sacrifices have brought about national stability and harmony.
She has no right and is not qualified to let Ji Mo give up this responsibility and honor for her.
The silence of the idle made Ji Mo feel that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he happened to run into that hidden endurance and worry.
Can't help but smile, suddenly feel that many years of hard training and running around in all kinds of danger have been worthwhile, everything is worth it.
"Don't worry, I'll feed you for the rest of your life. One less minute, one less second doesn't count as a lifetime." Ji Mo whispered softly against Xian Yu's forehead.
"Alright, I'll remember that." He carelessly threw away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind and responded with a smile.
"Captain, do you want to come with us?" Zhou Bo's untimely remark broke the warm atmosphere between the two.
He didn't want to come over and be a third wheel either, but no one else was willing to take the lead, so he had to take the risk.
"It's all right, you can go." Ji Mo replied without turning his head.
"Alright, you and your wife be careful." With that, Zhou Bai withdrew his leg, thinking to himself that he had been single for too long and no longer understood the way couples interacted with each other these days.
What a great holiday, why insist on wilderness survival in such a deep mountain and old forest, is it because learning like this is more passionate?
He didn't understand either, and he didn't dare ask.
The helicopters hovering above stopped whirring incessantly, and after a gust of wild wind, the forest finally calmed down.
"They just left like this, what about this ancient tomb?" Xian Yu asked Ji Mo out of curiosity.
"They will go back and inform the national archaeological team to come and protect it, you sit still and don't move."
Actually, he saw that she was injured and thought of letting her go back with him. But then he remembered the joy and excitement on her face when they were about to set off, so he gave up on the idea again.
After cleaning up the wounds on his body, Ji Mo carried a section and supported another section with Xian Yu back to where they had put their backpacks.
The sky in the dense forest was already darker than outside, and when they arrived at the location, it had darkened to the point where visibility was poor.
She sat down after a brief rest, and Ji Mo immediately stopped delaying, took out the flashlight to let her hold it, and began to quickly clear a spot to set up camp.
Idle wanted to help but was stopped by him, so he had no choice but to sit quietly as a movable light source. After Ji Mo set up the tent, he moved into the tent and continued to be a light source, watching him make a fire and sprinkle insect repellent.
After finally finishing her busy work, she hastily handed him drinking water and sugar beans to replenish his energy. She had simply been squatting in one place waiting for him and was already starving, he had been following those grave robbers for so long, and then entangled with them, striking them down one by one, the physical exhaustion could be imagined.
Ji Mo took a swig of water from the bottle and drained it in one gulp before eating the sugar beans to recover his strength.
"Want to go wash up? I'll get some water while I'm at it." Ji Mo smiled and asked, tugging on his clothes.
They were traveling along a mountain stream, so there was a stream nearby.
She nodded in agreement, but not because she was being finicky. It's just that they had been chasing after the helicopter all along and her body was already drenched in sweat, not to mention that she had unknowingly rubbed against some plant on the way and it was itching terribly.
She won't be able to rest well tonight if she doesn't wash up a bit.
"You'd better wash up too." After all, he had been following those grave robbers the whole way, and then followed them down into the tomb, where who-knows-how-many years' worth of stagnant air had been lurking. Just thinking about it made him feel filthy.
Ji Mo naturally had no opinion, if it was during a mission or with those big brothers in the squad, he would endure it silently.
But now he sleeps in a tent at night and has leisure time, so of course he wants to keep it as clean as possible.
This is what he thinks is the most satisfying thing about living in the wilderness, not only can he spend all his time with idle people, but at night he can also sleep in a tent, under any better conditions, he would never have such treatment.
Even on a summer day, the stream water in the mountains was very cool. Ji Mo stood guard not far away, and he didn't dare to linger for long. He quickly washed up and then switched with Ji Mo to wash up.
When the two returned to the tent, it was already past 10 o'clock at night. In the mountains, there is no day or month; in a bustling city, this time would only be the beginning of nightlife, but in this dense forest, apart from the chirping of insects and the crackling sound of burning firewood, there were no other sounds.
Leisurely and carefully flipping through the connection with the probe iad in her hand, which stored all the gains of her and Ji Mo entering the mountain for so many days.
Few animals were found, and even if they were seen, they were just some common ones.
Plants were everywhere, but unfortunately, these plants had already been thoroughly researched and could not be eaten or used as medicine. Those that could be used as medicine were also quite common and could be bought outside with money, so she didn't bother to transplant them.
