The educated youth all gathered around. This was weird. Zhang Zhiqing actually got angry at Xu Zhiqing.
In the past, he would just sulk by himself, and if Xu Zhiqing showed him a little bit of a good attitude, he would follow him happily, as if he had no regrets. What happened today?
"Zhang Yining, what are you crazy about?" Xu Hengzheng felt that he couldn't live like this anymore. After coaxing this one and that one, who would coax him?
Zhang Yining didn't look at him. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she felt even more embarrassed. She rushed into the house, threw herself on the bed, and burst into tears.
Zhang Kangcheng wondered if he hadn't already coaxed her. Why was this happening again? He and Xu Hengzheng exchanged a glance, both feeling exhausted.
Ningxia could hear the commotion at the educated youth camp not far away at home. She frowned and then relaxed.
Ren Jingxiao said that there was a pool of hot water in the mountains, which was perfect for bathing. She guessed it must be a naturally formed hot spring in the mountains.
After much persuasion, he finally agreed to take her for a dip. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of the Big Black Mountain, it was because she had Ren Jingxiao with her.
If he could take her there, he could bring her back safely.
On the first day of the new year, the streets are full of people visiting each other, chatting in groups of three or five about gossip.
Meanwhile, Ren Jingxiao carried Ningxia to the Dahei Mountain. This was Ningxia's first time there. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she was still enjoying the scenery along the way.
"Don't be afraid. Many large animals are hibernating. The others don't dare to come forward because Dapao is here." Dapao, who was following behind, heard Ren Jingxiao calling his name and rushed over smartly.
He nudged Ren Jingxiao's leg, then glanced at Ningxia with disdain. Ningxia was very surprised that she could see the mockery in a tiger's eyes.
Maybe she was too weak in the eyes of the cannon. That's right, it was normal for it to look down on her. She definitely couldn't beat it anyway.
Ren Jingxiao walked very fast and soon arrived at a hot spring pool. The spring was still bubbling with mist, and the mist was very heavy. He felt very hot as soon as he got close to it.
"Wait a moment, let Dapao walk around." As soon as he put her down, Ren Jingxiao asked Dapao to stroll around the entire hot spring pool.
"It's warm here, and many animals like to hibernate here." Seeing her confusion, Ren Jingxiao explained.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. As soon as she heard it, she didn't dare to go down. Is there anything in the water?
But she had begged Ren Jingxiao to come here, and it would be so embarrassing to go back like this. Ningxia nodded, her face calm.
"Okay, you can go down now. I'll wait for you in the distance!" Only after seeing Dapao come back did Ren Jinxiao let go of Ningxia's hand.
"Aren't you going down?" Ning Xia had just finished speaking when she saw Ren Jingxiao's face flushed red and he looked at her in disbelief, knowing that he had misunderstood.
"I mean, we went down together with our clothes on. I brought clean clothes." Is she like that? She's such a simple person!
"Oh...oh oh! Okay, let's take a bath together!" Ren Jingxiao looked more like a girl than she did. He looked at her shyly, then went into the water first, staying away from her.
Was she too uninhibited, or was Ren Jinxiao too shy? Ningxia was so angry at his coy look that she laughed. Why was he hiding so far away? What else could she do to him?
Ningxia lay comfortably in the spring water, untied her hair and washed it carefully. Dapao squatted beside her obediently, and she got playful and splashed water on it.
Da Pao raised his head and looked at her with an expression that said, "Human, you're so boring." He also put his paw into the water, but probably didn't expect the water to be hot, so he drew it back in fear.
Ningxia felt so good. She had just rushed a tiger and splashed it with water. The tiger didn't bother with her and just stood there watching over her. She felt like she was at the top and she was about to get carried away!
Ren Jingxiao stood up after soaking for a while. He didn't know whether it was because the water was too hot or his heart was too hot, but he felt that he had to slow down. He didn't even dare to look up at Ningxia.
She pulled off her outer clothes, revealing something close-fitting underneath, tightly wrapped around her body. Something wasn't right with his nose either; it was constantly itchy.
He quickly put on his clothes and ran away. Dapao looked up at Ren Jingxiao and finally chose to stay with the hostess.
Ningxia wanted to laugh. She thought he had really good self-control. Then she would cry later.
On the way back, Ren Jingxiao didn't dare to hug her, so Ningxia rode on the back of the cannon. Along the way, Ningxia experienced the domineering feeling of the king of beasts.
She didn't know when it started, but she stopped being afraid of the cannon and even felt that it was a member of their family.
It must have been when she accidentally got up at night and saw it squatting in her yard guarding her on a cold winter snowy night.
Or one day it suddenly caught a pheasant, and although it was bloody, it threw it into her yard and looked at her with a look of begging for praise.
Sometimes it is too similar to Ren Jingxiao. Animals can keenly perceive the evil and good in others.
It must have known that she was afraid of it, so it kept trying to please her, and slowly she really wasn't afraid of it anymore.
As soon as they arrived at the village, it started snowing. Ningxia got off Dapao's back, and Dapao shook off the snow particles on his body.
"Xia Xia, take Dapao back first. I'll go check out the medicinal herbs in the mountains." Ren Jingxiao looked up at the sky and felt that the snow was going to be quite heavy.
The snow kept falling. In just a few hours, the ground was a foot deep. Ren Jinxiao didn't return until Ningxia had prepared the meal.
"Xia Xia, keep the doors and windows closed at night. The snow is getting heavier. On my way back, I heard someone's house collapsed."
As Ren Jingxiao ate, he thought about the captain's worried look on his face. The snow was so heavy, few houses in the village could survive.
"Let Dapao sleep inside at night and sleep in the outer room." Afraid that Ren Jingxiao would not agree, he quickly added.
Ren Jinxiao looked at Dapao who was eating with relish and felt very envious. He had never slept in the room before, but he finally nodded in agreement.
Although he envied it, he couldn't bear to part with it. The weather was too cold and the snow was too heavy. Even if the cannon had hair and was not afraid of the cold, it would definitely be uncomfortable.
The wind howled all night long in the Black Mountain Brigade, and Ningxia didn't sleep well. From time to time, bursts of heartbreaking cries could be heard from the village, which was so scary.
In the end, she had no choice but to let Dapao stay by her bedside, and she was able to fall asleep reluctantly.
As soon as the sky was light, Ren Jingxiao came to help her sweep the snow. Ningxia also couldn't sleep well and got up early.
"How is things in the brigade?" The snow was so heavy that Ningxia couldn't even leave the yard.
"Oh no! Several houses collapsed during the night, injuring several people. The snow blocked the main roads, and we can't even get to the clinic."
When Ren Jingxiao was on his way here, the team leader was arranging for those families to go to the team headquarters.
Ningxia said nothing after hearing this, wondering when the snow would stop.
However, in this heavy snow, some people were moving forward with difficulty. When they saw the entrance to the village of Heishan Brigade, they finally smiled.
