    This is Xian Lin's promise.  The two of them did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Yes!" To say the least, they both deserve the credit. Both of them had been hunters, and after receiving orders from Xian Lin, they traveled all the way across mountains and rivers.  Completed most of the pathfinding work.  But in front of the old man, the two of them still showed that they didn't dare to take credit.

    Xian Linxiao helped them up.  "You two don't have to worry about unloading. It's still early, so come with me for a walk." After finishing lunch, he walked towards the mouth of the river not far away.  With high spirits, his steps became much brisker.

    The black face and the big man quickly followed.

    It only took half a day to leave.  Xian Lin walked non-stop and almost visited the area near the lower reaches of the left bank. He still wanted to take a raft to the right bank and have a look.  But he was old after all, and his face showed fatigue after walking a long way.  The two people who followed him tried to persuade him many times, but he himself found it difficult to move forward, so he could only go home with their help.

    There is only one shack standing in the new camp for the time being.  Surrounded by rows of wooden piles, there is a thick colorful cloth on top.  He couldn't hide his pride when he saw it. It was the trophy he gained after driving away Quan Hao.  He still hadn't figured out what it was made of, yet it was watertight.  But no matter how novel it is, it didn¡¯t fall into his hands?

    This only shack is of course prepared for Xianlin.  He didn't have to be polite and walked in directly.  It was empty for the time being, except for a hammock that had also been stolen, and there were only a few boxes.  Xian Lin opened one of them and took out a roll of white paper.  Xian Lin had never seen such white and fine paper before, and even the letterhead his former boss used to write was rougher than it.  It is slightly stretched and elastic, and smells faintly fragrant.  No need to think about it, it must be used for writing.  Unfortunately, I searched the man's camp and couldn't find a single brush.

    With paper but no pen, Xian Lin had accumulated a lot of passion but could not record it. How could this not make him, a self-proclaimed scholar, feel a little regretful?  I had no choice but to sigh sadly and put the scroll back to its original place carefully.  This predicament will not last long, and there is no self-made brush.  He is already a powerful figure and the only cultural person on the island. He always wants to leave texts that can be consulted by future generations.  Otherwise, a hundred years from now, how many people will still remember him as a bad old man?

    After returning home, Xianlin's excitement gradually subsided, and he suddenly felt tired.  He was old. After sitting on a raft for most of the day and running a long distance, his body was in a state of overdraft.  As soon as I rested, I felt extremely sleepy.  He forced himself to lie down on the hammock and soon fell asleep.

    When I woke up, the house was completely dark.  He wanted to sit up, but he frowned in pain as soon as he moved.  The negative consequences of excessive exercise became more obvious after rest. Xian Lin felt soreness in his back, legs and feet everywhere.  But he still struggled to get off the hammock and walked out with a slight limp.

    The situation outside surprised him.  There was a bonfire burning on the river beach not far to the left, but there were only a few people.  There was not even a shadow of the large army that was supposed to arrive.

    Where are the people?  Xian Lin suddenly became anxious, calculating that they should have arrived long ago.  Zhao Heilian and the big man came over and asked, and both of them said they had not received any news.

    He was so angry that he cursed: "This Lihu is really difficult to take on. No matter how many times he told me, he still caused trouble for me." After saying this, he paced back and forth in front of the house anxiously.  The black-faced man and the big man were equally helpless. They didn't dare to leave without instructions, so they could only stand and worry with him.

    After waiting for half an hour, there was still no news.  Xian Lin had a vague premonition in his heart.  Just when he was about to scold the red-haired man for his incompetence, the black face suddenly reached out and pointed forward.  "There!"

    Following his arm, there were indeed a few points of light flickering on the horizon.  These dim light spots are very inconspicuous under the starlight. Only by looking carefully can you tell that they are firelight.

    Finally it¡¯s here.  All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.  But this kind of ease did not last long.  As the fire approached, Xian Lin's color suddenly changed again. He didn't even care about the pain in his body and rushed over to meet the red-haired man who was leading the way.  "Where are the people? Where are all the people? Why are there only these few?" No wonder Xian Lin was angry.  Counting him, the team brought by the red-haired man would be ten, four adults and six children.  Two boys were missing, and none of the women were missing.

    Li Hu was also speechless.  He still looked at the bonfire behind Xianlin without giving up, and then gave up his luck.  He hesitated and asked: "They haven't arrived yet?"

    "Nonsense! I asked you where he is? Don't tell me you don't need him." Xian Lin angrily kicked him on the thigh.

    Knowing that Li Hu Zang had made a big mistake, he didn¡¯t even dare to hide, so he took the kick forcefully.  After waiting for a long time, he reluctantly replied: "We got separated"

    "How did they get separated?" Xian Lin didn't give him a chance to breathe and continued to press, his beard rising up and down in anger.

    ?Li Hu himself was still confused, and replied solemnly: "In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared."

    "Oh? Why don't you tell me to look for him when he's gone?"

    "Looking for it, searching all over the mountains and plains. Otherwise it wouldn't be delayed until so late." The red-haired man responded with a grimace.  He secretly observed Xian Lin's expression and tried to defend himself: "They just got lost. They may find them back tomorrow. The food is all here where you are, so where can they go?"

    Hearing what he said made Xian Lin even more angry.  "I don't care where they go, but don't be idle. Go back and look for me. If I can't find you, don't come back."

    Li Hu still wanted to beg, but Xian Lin didn't give him a chance to speak, and shouted: "Get out!" He pointed his finger firmly behind his back.

    Li Hu had no choice but to turn around dejectedly, slowly turning around after a few steps.

    After blasting away one Xian Lin, who was still angry, he spread his anger on the other three men who came with him.  "What are you looking at? Do you think you have made a contribution? Why are you still standing there? Go back and look for me. The same goes for you. If you can't find it, don't come back."

    These three men have been standing in the crowd with their heads down, not wanting to suffer the same fate.  You look at me and I look at you, knowing that you can't offend Xianlin at this moment.  He had no choice but to turn around and walk back, and soon he caught up with Li Hu.

    Until the four of them were far away, Xian Lin still stood there and stared.  It seems that he won't give up until he can no longer see it.  Without his instructions, the six boys who came with him could only stand there in fear, not daring to move.  In the end, the big man who came with him had the courage to speak to comfort him.  "Elder, calm down. Li Hu is right. The food is all there. They may really be lost."

    Xian Lin only snorted, and the rise and fall of his chest did not ease at all.
