I have been in the crime team for these years

Chapter 170 Chapter 173: Sleeping in the Jungle
After a short rest, the three continued on their way.Ren Tianya was still leading the way with a short knife, sometimes he used a compass to determine the direction, and sometimes he stood on a high slope and looked into the distance with a telescope.

After walking for another two or three hours, the sky gradually darkened.And in this primeval jungle with towering trees, it looks even darker.

"We can't hurry anymore, we have to find a place to camp and rest for the night." Niu Ren looked at the thick and dark jungle, and couldn't help suggesting to Ren Tianya.

Ren Tianya stopped and turned back to Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting and said, "You two rest where you are. I'll look around and find a suitable camping spot and then come back and take you there."

Ren Tianya's suggestion was unanimously approved by Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting.After all, camping in the primeval jungle is a very dangerous thing, and it is very important to choose favorable terrain.Ren Tianya is naturally more experienced than Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting in this regard.

After Ren Tianya left, Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting found a relatively flat and bright place to sit down.Having learned the lesson from being bitten by a poisonous snake last time, this time Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting were very careful to poke around with wooden sticks to avoid another poisonous snake hiding nearby.

After everything was confirmed to be safe, the two sat down with peace of mind, but their eyes were still alert to the movement around them.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ren Tianya came back to greet Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting.The two immediately got up, packed their bags, and followed Ren Tianya to a small slope leeward of the wind. In front of a flat and dry grassland, the three of them put down their backpacks, took out a simple tent, and began to set it up.

Niu Ren and Ren Tianya shared a two-person tent, while Lan Ruoting brought a single-person tent by himself.It didn't take long for the three of them to set up the tent.Afterwards, Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting went to gather a few bundles of firewood and came back, while Ren Tianya chopped off all the brambles and weeds in a radius of about ten meters around the tent with a short knife.In this way, if any wild beasts are lurking at night, they can also find out in time.Finally, Niu Ren took out the prepared realgar and rosin powder from the medicine box and sprinkled them around the tent to prevent snakes and insects from crawling in at night.

After everything was settled, Ren Tianya took a short knife and a small flying knife to hunt game in the surrounding areas.Niu Ren handed over the task of lighting the fire to Lan Ruoting, and took a few empty bottles to fetch water from the stream below.

When Niu Ren came back after fetching water, Lan Ruoting had already started the fire.In the primitive jungle at night, bonfires are very important.Firstly, it can drive away wild animals, and secondly, it can also observe the surrounding movement in the dark.

Although it is still early autumn, the night in this primeval forest is still a bit chilly.After making a bonfire, you will not catch a cold when you sleep at night.

Niu Ren and Lan Ruoting sat by the bonfire, waiting for Ren Tianya to come back.

"Brother Niu, your visit to this primeval jungle is not just for adventure, is it?" Lan Ruoting broke the silence and turned to ask Niu Ren.

Niu Ren thought to himself: It seems that this little girl has begun to doubt us.

"No! It's just a whim, just looking for some excitement." Niu Ren picked the fire with a branch, and replied vaguely.

Lan Ruoting smiled: "Stop hiding this from me. Do you really think I'm stupid? You guys kept looking for directions and targets with compasses and telescopes along the way. It's obvious that you have a clear destination."

Niu Ren thought to himself: paper cannot contain fire, Lan Ruoting follows us so inseparably, she will eventually know the truth, why not tell her a little bit first,
"Since you can see it, I might as well tell you the truth. We came to this primeval forest this time mainly to find a mysterious cave." Niu Ren had no choice but to spit out part of the truth first, thinking that anyway, she I will also follow them to find that cave.

"Mysterious cave?" Lan Ruoting opened her beautiful eyes and asked a series of curious questions: "What kind of cave is it? Why are you looking for that cave? How did you know the existence and location of that cave?"

Niu Ren hesitated for a while, then said: "These issues are very complicated and bizarre. In short, they cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Let's wait for Tian Ya to come back and decide how to tell you."

Lan Ruoting nodded and said: "Since you don't want to talk about it now, then I'll ask Tian Ya when he comes back. But, then you have to tell me the whole story, maybe I can help you a little bit!" "

Just as he was talking, Ren Tianya came striding over from a short distance with a deer in his arms. Before he could sit down, he asked, "What were you talking about just now? Are you helping or not?"

Seeing this, Lan Ruoting got up and pulled Ren Tianya to sit down, and poked his head with her jade finger: "Ren Tianya, tell me honestly, what is the purpose of your trip?"

Ren Tianya pushed her finger away: "Explore! What else can you do in the primeval jungle without exploring? You can't come here for poaching, right?"

Lan Ruoting snorted coquettishly: "Fake it! Brother Niu told me that the purpose of your trip is to find some mysterious cave."

Ren Tianya gave Niu Ren a hard look!Then he smiled at Lan Ruoting: "Do you believe what Lao Niu said? He deliberately made up these horrible and weird things to scare you. You really fell for it. Hahaha..."

Lan Ruoting put on a pink face and said, "Is it funny? Then tell me, you are looking around with a compass and telescope all day long. Where are you looking for?"

"Uh... well, the secret must not be leaked!" Ren Tianya couldn't answer for a while, so he couldn't help prevaricating.

"Old Ren, it's now time. I think it's better to tell Ruoting the truth! Anyway, after she follows us to find the cave, nothing can be hidden from her." Niu Ren said helplessly to Ren Tianya.

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Ren Tianya also knew that he could no longer hide it, so he cast his eyes on Lan Ruoting, and asked with a serious expression: "Before telling the truth, I want to ask you, is our character worthy of your trust? Is your character worthy of our trust? I hope you can give an honest answer after careful consideration."

Lan Ruoting also said with a serious face: "I don't need to think about these two questions, I can answer you truthfully now. First, I absolutely trust the character of the two of you, otherwise, even a girl like me will never follow you." You two big men came to eat and sleep together in this primeval jungle. Do you have any doubts about this?"

Niu Ren and Ren Tianya had nothing to say.Indeed, Lan Ruoting's daring to follow them to explore this primeval jungle is enough to say that she has absolute trust in the two of them.
