They kept going on and slowed down once in a while to catch a breath, then continue, Chen Jianan also stayed awake this whole time. Likewise the journey continued in the dark and gradually the sky also turned a little white, and finally they got rid of the pursuing soldiers. After going through lots of trouble, they already lost their strength and had to go ashore to rest temporarily.

Throughout the journey, Qiao Wen always felt pain in his leg, and thought it might be a leech, but had no time to pay attention to it. Sitting down, he first checked Chen Jianan’s condition, and made sure that he was still stable before he pulled on his pants. And just as he thought, there were two thick leeches on his fair calf. It should have sucked blood all the way and had a full meal.

Not only him, Jiang Yufeng and Azhi were also in the same situation. Sitting on the ground, took the twigs, picked the leech off, and leaned against each other to catch a breath.

Jiang Yufeng knew that Qiao Wen was weak, so he raised his head to look at his pale face, and asked, “Awen, are you okay?”

Qiao Wen nodded, but his voice was a little faint: “I can hold on.”

He looked around and found that this place was more vacant than the previous forest, and his eyes suddenly lit up, because not far away there were a few fields that were cultivated by people, which meant that there were villages nearby.

It’s just that in this war-torn country, no one could guarantee the safety of this village, but Chen Jianaan’s situation should not be delayed. Even if it was a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, he had to give it a try…..

“There is a field ahead, so there should be a village nearby. Azhi, you go and check the situation. We’ll wait here. If there is a problem, we will send a signal immediately.”

“Okay.” Azhi nodded in response. Last night his leg was injured, although it was only a skin injury, it hurt a lot after walking constantly and getting wet.

He suffered a leg injury last night. Although it was just a skin injury, the pain was severe when he touched the water. But at the moment, he couldn’t care about it, forced to endure the pain and limped to go scouting.

Qiao Wen moved to Chen Jianan’s side, looked at the man with his eyes closed, and reached out to touch his forehead. Yesterday it was cold, but now it is very hot, obviously a bit inflamed.

Seeing his worried look: “Awen, don’t worry, Anan is in good health and he will definitely survive.” Jiang Yufeng comforted him from the side.

Qiao Wen kept silent for a while, but suddenly said. “Brother Feng, hide the money first.”

Then only Jiang Yufeng remembered the huge amount of dollars in his bag. It would be a ticking bomb if someone saw it. “You are quite thoughtful.”

Saying this he pulled a few money bags, and looked around the surroundings, and after making sure that nothing seemed odd he walked under a gnarled tree, took out a dagger, dug a hole, and temporarily buried dozens of kilograms of banknotes in it.

When it comes to money and life, life is more important, but after narrowly escaping the dead and sacrificing people, one could not go back penniless, so money must be well protected.

After hiding the money, he returned to Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan’s side. Shortly afterwards, they saw the limping Ah Zhi approaching with a pair of men and women.

Ah Zhi had a look of ecstasy. From his look alone, it was obvious this village was not a den of bandits, but a decent village with simple folk customs.

“Brother Feng, Awen, this is A Ming and A Jiao. Their village is nearby. Quickly carry Anan on your back. There is a doctor in the village.”

The man and the woman looked very young, dressed in plain clothes and had a kind face, from no angle they looked like bandits. Along the way, they chatted in their native language with Azhi.

From what they heard, they were businessmen from China. After encountering the bandits, they fled into the jungle. The two brothers and sisters who had also suffered from the scourge of the bandits sympathized with them. Seeing the unconscious Chen Jianan they hurriedly led them to the village to recuperate.

This village in the jungle, with a few wooden houses, and a dozen or so households in total could be called a small pocket village.

Originally, Qiao Wen thought that even if the doctor in this remote mountain village was not a witch doctor, he would be like a half-baked Mongolian doctor. It wasn't until he saw the village doctor invited by the A Ming brothers and sisters that he took out a stethoscope and two bottles of western medicine, he knew he was a serious western doctor.

It turned out that the people in this village were not natives of the jungle, but because their homes were destroyed during the war, they fled into the jungle for refuge. It sounds a bit like a paradise that is isolated from the world.

After an injection, Chen Jianan’s breathing gradually stabilized, but was still unconscious.

The two brothers and sisters had been there the whole time, the doctor checking Anan’s injury and after making sure he was stable and sending the doctor back; they returned to the kitchen to cook for them.

After a sleepless night of battle and chasing, they felt so exhausted and every inch of the body was aching so badly, and felt hungry. Not to mention Qiao Wen, even a tough guy like Jiang Yufeng could not hold it. They each ate two bowls of soup noodles, and barely fed the unconscious Chen Jianan a little.

After making sure there was no danger, their tight string finally loosened. Not caring about anything, they directly lay on the floor and closed their eyes and fell asleep in no time.

It was really a miracle that Qiao Wen’s poor body held up until now. So this sleep was really a heavy sleep, with hands and feet in all directions and by the time he woke up it was afternoon, and the sun in the sky was slowly heading west.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he stretched his hand to probe Anan’s breath and after feeling it was steady; he touched his forehead and after seeing his fever subside a lot, he was relieved.

Looking at his pale cheeks and blanched lip, it looked like he had lost a lot of weight overnight. It was just a few months he came to this world but Chen Jianan gave him the feeling that he was always full of vigor, but at this time, he was so weak that people couldn’t bear to see more.

Qiao Wen didn’t intend to forcibly wake him up. Turning his head to look at the threshold, he found that Jiang Yufeng and Ah Zhi had woken up at some point and were sitting at the door, smoking silently.

He got up and walked over barefoot.

“Brother Feng, Brother Azhi.”

Jiang Yufeng looked up at him. “You can still hold on?” he asked with a chuckle.

He sat down beside him and said with a wry smile: “I think so.”

Jiang Yufeng looked at Chen Jianan, who was lying upright in the house: “I don’t know when Anan will wake up?”

 “The fever has gone down, so he should be fine.” Qiao Wen said.

Jiang Yufeng thought he didn’t seem to smoke and was about to put out the cigarette: “It’s okay. Give me one too.” Qiao Wen’s calm voice sounded.

Jiang Yufeng briefly glanced at him and suspiciously handed a cigarette and lit a lighter for him.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Qiao Wen leaned forward to light it, and took a deep breath.

In fact, this body couldn’t withstand tobacco, but the night's thrilling experience made him desperately in need of something to ease the tension.

Jiang Yufeng was surprised to see him smoking like an old smoker, but after the two puffs, he choked and coughed heavily to the point his eyes teared.

“Smoking is not a good habit. If you can't smoke, don't smoke.”

Qiao Wen shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, after changing the body, a lot of things have been very different. He was still the same himself, but he was no longer the self he used to be.

Extinguishing the cigarette on the ground, he raised his head and his eyes inadvertently fell on the pocket watch in Jiang Yufeng's hand. There was a small photo embedded in it, as if it was a girl.

Aware of his sight, Jiang Yufeng generously stretched the photo to his eyes, and asked with a smile. “My sister, isn’t she pretty?”

Qiao Wen didn’t expect this double-flowered red stick, a real tough guy who was always cold and scary to have such a gentle time.

Not only his tone of voice, but also the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were brimming with a gentle smile.

In the photo was a girl about 17 or 18 years old, with jet-black shoulder-length hair, and a pair of big black and white eyes on melon's face, she is indeed very pretty.

Qiao Wen nodded his head. “Very beautiful, I didn’t know Brother Feng had a younger sister?”

Jiang Yufeng smiled and looked away: “After my father passed away, her mother took her to remarry, and I went to the Walled City with Leopard. We have not lived together for many years.”

Qiao Wen understood, presumably they were half-brothers and sisters.

Jiang Yufeng carefully touched the photo, and said with a smile: “She is very smart. She was admitted to the university by herself and is now a college student. I dare not see her now, lest her friends come to know she has a brother like me.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wen didn't know what to say for a while, indeed it would be troublesome for a female college student to let people know that she had a triad brother.

Jiang Yufeng continued. “Speaking of which, it’s almost half a year since we last saw each other. Several times she invited me to dinner, but I pushed it. Last time she even lost her temper on the phone and said that she would ignore me in the future.” Speaking of this, he shook his head amusingly, “If I can go back alive this time, the first thing I'll do is go to my sister for a meal.”

“Brother Feng must be a good brother.” Qiao Wen said with a smile.

Jiang Yufeng looked at the photo, just smiled and said nothing.
