Wang Jing stopped walking all of a sudden. "Gan, Dong, Qi. I think our situation can only get better if we walk in the smoke-cleared path".
All the members stared at the path ahead of them.
And in everyone's mind, they have the same thought. 'Out of all people in the world, why are they unlucky to face this bloody situation? are they really going to die like this?' there was a brief moment of silence and the silence was really creepy and it sent chills into their spine.
Unable to bear the silence Han Dong tightened his grip around Lu Qi and He Gan's hands. and with a determined expression he said "Brothers let's DO or DIE,as we have no choice to make".
All the four walked in the smoke-cleared path, they just don't know what they are doing, or why they are doing it, they know that they will face a great danger but still, they had a small hope that they may come out alive from this situation.
They walked in the path for an unknown amount of time, while they are walking they found a small clear stream in the middle of the forest.
All of them ran towards the small stream it is not too deep. it would be only a height of 1meter atmost. the bottom can be clearly seen. and they drank some water from it.
'GGRROOOOWWWOOORRRREEEEE...'

Suddenly Lu Qi's stomach growled with hunger, the other three turned towards Lu Qi but they did not speak anything.
Lu Qi felt ashamed ' Ah.. crap! Really! how can I get hungry in this life and death situation? after seeing no expression on Dong and Gan faces, I feel like to find a hole and crawl into it Ahhh...'
While Lu Qi is still in his thoughts, Han Dong and Wang Jing went into the stream a little farther and He Gan started collecting some small sticks in the smoke-free path.
"Jing see! there a fish is coming in our way we need to catch it" Han Dong shouted loudly.
Jing took off his shirt and held it in between the stones and sealed the path where the fish can escape. And finally, he caught the fish with the t-shirt and didn't allow it to slip he came out of the stream and put the fish on the land somewhat far from the water.
Both Han Dong and Wang Jing repeated the same actions and they finally caught 3 more fishes and each fish is more than enough for them to fill their stomach.
And He Gan also collected some dry sticks and leaves and grass, and he arranged them like a heap "Hey! Qi is your camp pouch still there with you?".
"Yes! Yes, it's still with me" Lu Qi took his pouch and gave it to He Gan.
He Gan took the pouch and poured all the things on the ground, there is a lighter, a knife, small torch, and some medicines and scissors are there in them.
Han Dong took the knife and cleaned the fish and cut the fishes and then he inserted sticks into fish mouths.
He Gan lit the dried twigs heap and they both roasted fishes in the fire, even though they are not delicious it was enough for them to stay alive.
All four members ate and they filled their stomachs.
Lu Qi starred at his brothers and tears rolled down his eyes. He taught they were angry when they heard his stomach growling, but they found food for him even in a situation like this.
Wang Jing saw the tears from Lu Qi's eyes "Qi why are you crying? if you don't like the fish after we get out from here I will buy you fish fried by a Michelin chef, is it okay!". he tried to distract Lu Qi from his thoughts.
"Jing, Gan, and Dong I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. this is all my mistake, if I didn't provoke you guys or I simply kept silent we may now not be in this situation. I am the cause of this all mess"
"I'm sorry, can you guys forgive me?" Lu Qi pleaded them with full of guilt and he started sobbing.
Wang Jing sighed "Ah.. Qi it's not your fault. don't blame yourself, if there is a problem. then it happened due to everyone's fault, we also share a part in this" Wang Jing hugged him and tried to calm him.
Han Dong and He Gan also hugged Wang Jing and Lu Qi, and they all stayed like that for a while.
