Chapter Ten The First Achievement

  At this time, Xiao Yan had already re-bandaged Lin Feng. Lin Feng stood up and walked to Zhou Chen's side: "Since you called me brother, I have to take responsibility for you as a brother. Remember one sentence, only the living have hope! If you're dead, then there's nothing left!" After finishing speaking, Lin Feng patted his shoulder, then said to Li Lao Ye and Zhao Lao: "There is a small team of people ahead, fewer than ten in total. I've already taken action against them earlier, they should have retreated by now. It's just that we can't let other teams encounter them, a team of ten people is still very dangerous! Alright, let's hurry up and continue on our way, we've wasted quite some time, if we don't speed up, it's estimated we won't make it before nightfall!"

  Everyone packed up and continued on their journey. Xiao Yan rushed to Lin Feng's side, grasping his arm with tears in her eyes, saying: "Feng Ge, let me take care of you, you're injured!" Originally, Lin Feng wasn't seriously hurt, but now he was made to look like he was severely injured... Lin Feng thought about refusing, but looking at her pitiful and innocent appearance, he gritted his teeth, nodded slightly, and agreed.

  Xiao Yan asked Lin Feng while supporting him: "Does it still hurt?" Lin Feng shook his head, thought for a moment and replied: "You've bandaged me so well, what reason do I have to be in pain anymore? It's fine, it'll all heal in two days, don't cry anymore!" After finishing speaking, Lin Feng patted Xiao Yan's head and said helplessly: "It's just that my pants were also affected, ah! I really liked this pair of pants too, ah!" After saying that, Lin Feng looked at his only pair of Dior cowboy pants with a lingering sadness.

  "Ah? You're still thinking about it? Don't worry, I can help you mend it. I'll definitely make it as good as new!" Xiao Yan confidently assured Lin Feng.

  But it's not that Lin Feng didn't trust her skills, it's just that a skilled woman can't cook without rice. You don't even have the material for jeans, what are you going to use to mend them? Are you going to use some torn and tattered cloth? But in that case, it would be like 21st-century distressed denim, which is also not bad!

  Lin Feng nodded and said to her, "Alright, that's settled then. You must use your best efforts to help me recover fully!"

  "Alright, alright, don't worry about it, just trust me!" The little girl was so happy that she started jumping up and down.

  As they passed by the place where Maozi died, they collected Maozi's body and buried it in a suitable place after climbing up the mountain. It's better to be at peace with the dead. After they arrived at the top of the mountain and found a stone forest as their base, everyone else also arrived one after another, and Lin Feng slowly put down his hanging heart. He honestly thought about building his own home on the side.

  "Little Maple, Little Maple..." From a distance, Li Lao and Zhao Lao were shouting for Lin Feng. They sounded quite urgent. Lin Feng put down the wood in his hands and quickly ran towards them.

  "What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Feng looked at their anxious appearance and also felt that something was not right, so he cautiously asked in a low voice.

  "It's really a big deal, that... Wang Lao and his team haven't returned yet! Do you think they've encountered something?" Li Lao Ye explained to Lin Feng.

  "Huh? I remember Wang Lao's team was in the direction of 60 degrees to the right." Lin Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "But that can't be right. The rebel army's troops were in our front left position, if that small team retreated, it should have been the left team that had problems, but now both teams on the left have returned, yet it was Wang Lao's team on the far right that had problems. That can rule out the possibility of it being the rebel army. But they didn't lose many people either... what could have happened to them?"

  "I reckon it's because they were caught and recruited, those who can be soldiers become soldiers, and those who can't are forced to do hard labor!" I don't know when Xiaoyu came over, but she was the one who said this.

  Lin Feng slapped his own head, how could he have forgotten this? He was a person of the 21st century, an era of peace, with only economic wars, and even if there were battles, they were small-scale conflicts or local terrorist attacks. But this was ancient Tang Dynasty's late period, the Tang Dynasty was already in danger, who would care about what their own people thought? Anyway, every dynasty in ancient times was like this, when encountering such a situation, they would start to randomly grab soldiers and laborers.

  "If we get caught, Zhao, what are we going to do?" asked Old Master Li from the side.

  Zhao stroked his long beard, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, in the midst of chaos, we can only protect ourselves. We cannot play with the lives of any of those who are left, all we can do is pray for them." He looked at Lin Feng and said: "Little Feng, your method was right after all, although we lost a small team, but these four teams were saved! Besides, being captured by ** is much better than being killed by the rebel army, at least they are still alive!"

  This old fellow, he's clearly afraid of death, yet he speaks so eloquently. These ancient people, their linguistic skills are truly impressive, especially these old guys, one is more cunning than the other! How crafty! Anyway, since there's nothing else to do, I'd better hurry up and pack my bags! Otherwise, I'll have to sleep under the stars tonight!

  In the evening, Old Zhao and Old Li discussed and arranged the night watch situation together, and didn't assign any tasks to Lin Feng. The time was not early either, everyone had packed up and just casually ate some dry rations before preparing to sleep.

  At this time, Xiao Yan was holding something and walking towards Lin Feng. It seemed that she had come to find Lin Feng for something. Lin Feng hurriedly went forward and asked: "Xiao Yan, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

  Xiao Yan handed the clothes to Lin Feng with a happy face and said, "Feng Ge, take this set of clothes first, it's an old one I found earlier and modified in a hurry, it's better than what you're wearing now which is broken. Tomorrow you can change out of it and I'll mend it for you, just wait, I'll definitely make it as good as new!"

  "Alright, alright, I know! It's getting late and you've been rushing all day, you must be tired too. Go back and rest early, see you tomorrow!"

  "Alright, good! I'll head back first, you get some rest too!" Xiaoyan said as she turned around and walked away.

  Lin Feng looked up at the sky, it shouldn't be very late yet, probably around 2 or 3 o'clock. How could he possibly fall asleep now? He thought for a moment, then went to the outer area, found an empty space, lay down on a large stone, using the cloak that Xiao Huan had sent over earlier as a pillow, and began to think about what had happened today.
