Chapter 302: Mutual Suspicion
Thank goodness, after walking and stopping for more than half a day, everyone finally arrived at the next log cabin at four in the afternoon. They were all so tired that they sat on the ground, unwilling to get up.
Lu Yi was fiercely massaging his legs and couldn’t help but complain: "When we were in the foreign territory, we could ride camels. This time we thought we would have sled dogs to drag us, but it turned out that we had to rely on our own feet. I really feel like I can’t walk anymore."
Gu Fan also felt that he was about to break his legs, and he fully agreed with Lu Yi’s words.
However, Ouyang Jin said: "It’s a good thing we didn’t use the sled dogs. If we encountered a wolf pack in the snowstorm, the sled dogs would have been frightened and gone in all directions, making it even more dangerous for everyone to get lost."
Hearing this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense. Apart from old man Tian, who was adept at driving sled dogs, none of the others had the skills to handle such a crisis.
At this time, while everyone was resting and tidying up, Gu Fan saw Deng Wenli checking his wounds and immediately knew his opportunity had come.
So Gu Fan took the opportunity to help Deng Wenli dress his wounds, using it as a chance to get closer to him.
Deng Wenli thanked him profusely and thought of Gu Fan as a decent companion who understood mutual assistance. Gu Fan also displayed a demeanor of mutual help being a necessity when travelling, continuing to get close to him.
When Ning Qi and Hu Bo wandered off, Gu Fan finally asked: "I’m really sorry about your brother. We weren’t able to save him."
