Chapter 221 Another Night
At the end of the season, with the idea that less trouble is worse than more, I rescued them.
It now seems that the rescue at the critical moment of life and death was very effective. Bai Shui and Ji Yun are now gradually relying on Ji Mo.
The end of the season now is like becoming the new captain, leading four followers alone.
Even the order to set up camp was given by Ji Mo, and the other four people just carried it out numbly.
This made Ji Mo's mouth twitch a little, and he always felt that this was a strange development.
Fortunately, the four of them were still able to communicate. After discussing tonight's arrangements, everyone except Baishui returned to the tent for a short rest.
It wasn't really a discussion, it was actually just an end-of-season arrangement, and everyone else followed it without complaint.
Ji Mo sat with Bai Shui by the campfire for a while, said hello, and then returned to his tent.
It is inevitable that wild animals will roam around late at night, so it is necessary to explore the surrounding area and someone must be outside to keep watch.
Normally, they work in pairs and take turns. After all, one person will inevitably feel sleepy and lose concentration, so two people keeping watch together can communicate with each other and help keep away sleepiness.
It's just that the losses of Ji Xun's team today were a bit too heavy. Although everyone's injuries were not obvious, the mental pressure was too great. Ji Xun has not recovered yet, and Li Jun's spiritual energy was overdrawn and he had to rest. When Ji Yun was treating Ji Mo, both his spiritual energy and spirit were overdrawn. Although he could barely hold on, he touched his forehead from time to time, making everyone able to clearly sense his sleepiness.
At the end of the season, his body suffered serious injuries again. Despite treatment, he was still exhausted. From this point of view, Baishui was the right person.
She did not suffer much damage, and she was in a scout position and had experienced more big scenes. Her psychological quality was obviously much better than Ji Yun's, and her spiritual energy consumption was very little. She was just a little emotionally unstable, but two hours of vigil should be enough. Ji Mo would take over in two hours, followed by Li Sun, Ji Yun, and Ji Xun.
Two hours per person, by the time Ji Xun arrives, it will be bright outside and there will be no need to worry anymore.
This arrangement was also intentional at the end of the season. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, some wild animals would go out. The first half of the night would be relatively safer. By the end of the season, it would be late at night at best. From this moment on, they would slowly feel tired and relax their vigilance. The two scouts were on their rest days, which put a lot of pressure on Li Sun and Ji Yun.
Moreover, their reconnaissance means are limited, and there is no telling what accidents might happen.
Ji Mo can definitely sense everything outside. Although he also needs sleep, under the training of the elders, his sleep is very light and his perception of the outside world is very sharp. If he discovers an unexpected situation, Ji Mo can make plans based on the situation.
He also wanted to see if anyone would do something small when he was alone, such as using some means to contact certain people.
The prediction at the end of the season was perfect, but the prediction was just a prediction. It was unclear how things would turn out at the end of the season. This was just an attempt on his part, and it didn't matter even if it had no effect.
Ji Mo lay down on the ground covered with a blanket. The grass around him brought a hint of fragrance. Ji Mo closed his eyes and took a short rest.
Two hours passed in a flash. Ji Mo didn't feel anything during this time. Bai Shui just sat on the treetop to hide his breath and kept observing. He didn't change his position, but just looked at Ji Mo from time to time.
After two hours, Baishui did not come to the tent to wake up Jimo. It seemed that he felt a little sorry for what happened during the day and wanted Jimo to sleep a little longer.
Ji Mo waited for a while, until another half an hour passed, then he walked out of the tent pretending to be sleepy. He looked at the white water on the treetops.
Bai Shui also looked at Ji Mo. She was like a fallen leaf, floating gently down. She nodded to Ji Mo, which was considered a greeting.
Ji Mo added some firewood to the dying campfire, then walked to Bai Shui and patted her shoulder.
"Go and rest."
Baishui nodded and looked at Ji Mo with a complicated expression, a little apologetic, a little sad, and a little admiring.
Ji Mo felt a little numb seeing this expression. He turned his head away and urged Ling Yuan to come to the top of the tree. He sat down, yawned lazily, and observed his surroundings.
Ji Mo seemed to be still sleepy, so Bai Shui walked back to the tent silently.
He had already explored the surrounding situation and knew clearly whether there was any danger. As for why he appeared sleepy, it was to create an illusion for Baishui. After all, he had suffered so much damage. If he appeared energetic, it would inevitably make people think that his physical fitness was too strong, which would make them look down on Jiwei.
At the end of the season, I sat bored on the treetop, leaning against the trunk, squinting my eyes and resting.
Everything around him was imagined in his mind, and Ji Mo could sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy clearly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
Baishui, who had already returned to the tent, came out again. She was holding a very thin blanket and walked towards Ji Mo.
She stood under the tree and looked at Ji Mo, who looked back at her, looking very confused.
However, Ji Mo probably guessed Bai Shui's thoughts. It was probably because of what happened during the day that made her emotions very unstable. After all, she had not been tempered by the elders, so she would definitely not have the same mentality as Ji Mo. And after all, she was just a girl of about fourteen years old. When her emotions fluctuated, she would definitely want to rely on others to gain a sense of security.
The one who performed the best in this battle was Ji Mo, not to mention that Ji Mo saved her life. She couldn't sleep after returning to the house, so she just walked out.
Baishui's voice was a little weak and trembling, and his depressed expression made him look pitiful.
"Ji Mo, can you stay with me for a while?"
Ji Mo frowned slightly, but still nodded, "Come on."
As he spoke, Ji Mo leaned to the side and changed the direction he sat, giving Bai Shui the space where he could lean against the tree trunk.
Baishui jumped up, tapped his toes in the air a few times, like a dancing elf, and sat next to Ji Mo.
The blanket she brought was very long. She leaned next to Ji Mo and handed one end of the blanket to Ji Mo.
"It's cold at night. You should cover yourself up too. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you might get sick."
Ji Mo took the blanket without hesitation. This way, the two of them were closer and he could vaguely feel the heat emanating from Bai Shui's body.
The two were silent for a moment. Ji Mo turned his head to look at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
His eyes were very gentle, and Baishui followed his gaze. Looking at Ji Mo's eyes, tears flowed and a little mist appeared in them. She sniffed and forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to flow.
