Jhiang Yuan also didn't dare to be careless; before coming, she had taken with her a slightly shorter dagger.
Now she held it in front of her chest, ready to defend herself.
Yet, after a full circle, she saw no one.
"Could it be that we were mistaken?"
Camp Commander Xie was temporarily at a loss, but Song Yi felt as if something had been missed.
"Those pieces of firewood must have been burning only a short while ago.
If there were people here, in this temperature, they would definitely need to warm themselves.
It's more manageable during the day, especially at night."
Song Yi began to conjecture; whenever he faced a problem, he liked to use this form of reasoning.
"Could it be that it was left from before, and now the person is no longer here?"
A person beside them chimed in, and that wasn't without possibility.
"It's better to be cautious.
If it's really like that, then all is well.
But if not, then the person is near.
Seeing us coming, he alone would probably hide."
