Among the piles of corpses, he found Zhou Gang and Fu Zheng, who hadn’t woke up yet. He carried them out of the pit, went to the cave he found before, let them settle and covered them with branches. Then, he left with ease.
After sneaking back to the military camp, he changed his clothes which has a smell of rotting corpses and washed them. Seeing that there were still a few hours before dawn, he slipped out again and went to the small tent where Bai Zhi and Doctor Shen lived.
There was no secret sign between him and Bai Zhi, and he couldn’t just go in and call her without care. However, without seeing her, he felt uneasy.
After squatting outside the small tent for a while, he suddenly remembered something. Last month, when he and Bai Zhi went to town to buy something, they saw an abandoned kitten. Bai Zhi wanted to bring back the cat to raise it, but the cat seems very wary of them. Even after meowing for a long time, she still couldn’t bring it back. In the end, they could only watch the kitten jumped over to the wall and ran away.
When a cat’s meowing sounded, Bai Zhi woke up. How could there be a cat in a military camp? And the meowing seems unusual.
Maybe because she slept for too long in the daytime, and she was thinking about something, so Bai Zhi couldn’t sleep.
Hearing the meow of the cat again, Bai Zhi suddenly remembered the kitten she met in Qingyuan Town before.
In this kind of place, there will be no cat, and what more, meowing outside her tent.
It must be not a cat, but a person trying to meow. Is it Hu Feng?
Bai Zhi hurriedly got up and put on her outer clothes then went out.
Hu Feng was squatting in the dark corner behind the tent. When he saw Bai Zhi came out, he put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, and then he carefully walked into the distant woods.
Bai Zhi followed behind him into the woods from afar.
When her figure was engulfed by darkness, the tall man in front suddenly turned around and put her in his arms. Her thin skeleton was almost broken by his embrace.
“It hurts ~” Bai Zhi cried as she blushed.
Hu Feng quickly released his hand and asked: “Where does it hurt? Are you hurt?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “It’s because you are too forceful, my bones almost fall apart.”
So that was the case. Hu Feng couldn’t help but smile. He stretched out his arms and grabbed Bai Zhi’s shoulders. He looked at her under the moonlight and said: “Are you okay?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and looked at with him doubt. Then, she asked: ” I’m fine. What’s wrong? Why are you here so late? Didn’t you say some people know you here? So why are you here?”
“I know everything happened with Mu Yang. I also heard that you fainted. Are you really alright?” His hands slipped down and held her delicate wrists. Her skin was smooth and warm. He held her tight and doesn’t seem to want to let go.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “It’s nothing, I just got too tired. After a good night’s sleep, I’ll be alright.”
Bai Zhi smelled something, so she asked: “What is that smell on you?”
Hu Feng raised his arm and smelled it. His clothes don’t have a smell. Maybe when he carried them back before, some of the odor sticks to his skin.
“I went to the corpse pit and settled Fu Zheng and Zhou Gang.” He said.
No wonder she smelled a rancid smell on him, he went to the corpse pit.
Bai Zhi frowned: “That kind of place is the most filthy. Most people who went there will get sick. You can’t be careless, find a place to wash and change your clothes inside and out.
Hu Feng nodded: “Okay, I know.”
Bai Zhi asked another question: “Where have you settled them?”
“In a cave not too far from the corpse pit, why?”
“I’ll look for a chance to see them tomorrow. They have injuries, so I’ll give them some medicine.”
