After the Mid-Autumn Festival comes National Day.
After training the day before, they made plans to go hunting in the mountains the next day.
So on this day, after morning training, they took their tools and headed to the back of the mountain.
To Bai Sirui's surprise, he actually saw Ruan Ruan carrying a bow and arrow, as well as Gu Jinghe's younger brother, a high school student named Gu Jingming.
"Why do they go hunting with us?"
"It's obvious that Huo Haocheng couldn't resist Ruan Ruan's coaxing and brought them along. But why is Ruan Ruan carrying a bow and arrows?" Ge Xiaotian sat on a rock by the river, looking at the Ruan brothers with a puzzled expression.
"I think I heard Huo Haocheng mention that when Ruan Ruan was in her hometown in Northeast China, she went hunting with them in the mountains." This was the first time Ruan Ruan had seen her like this. How should I put it, she looked a bit like a female general who went to war in ancient times.
With her high ponytail and the bow and arrow behind her, she truly embodies the spirit of a woman who is just as capable as any man.
As the people approached, Ruan Shaoke stood up from the steps at the head of the bridge.
The sunlight shone on him, and Ruan Ruan, who was standing nearby, was stunned. "Second brother, you've become even more handsome in just a few days!"
"Yes, I'm glad my little sister likes it!"
"In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent; one glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation." Ruan Ruan thought of these lines of poetry when she looked at Ruan Shaoke.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was teased by others.
Finally, seeing his wife's embarrassment, Huo Haocheng interrupted, "Alright, it's getting early, let's go up the mountain first."
However, during the climb up the mountain, Ruan Ruan pulled Huo Haocheng along, deliberately walking behind Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke. Huo Haocheng didn't understand his wife's behavior, but he followed her.
"Second brother, long time no see! You've grown even more handsome!" On the way up the mountain, Bai Sirui mimicked Ruan Ruan's tone and bombarded Ruan Shaoke with his words.
"Are you a child? You're even jealous of my sister." Ruan Shaoke really didn't expect this person to have become like this. Back when the two of them first met, he was such a steady person. What made him start to let loose now?
"I didn't eat. I just felt that her description was very apt. What should I do? I haven't read many books and can't find good poems to describe you. Will our second brother look down on me for being such a roughneck? Hmm?"
Ruan Shaoke truly couldn't stand Bai Sirui's deliberately high-pitched voice, and his response was a punch and a glare from Ruan Shaoke. Then he quickened his pace and caught up with the person in front.
"Oh dear, you've gone too far!" Even though Bai Sirui was being very careful, Ruan Ruan, with her cheat ability, could still hear what he said very clearly. Now that she saw her second brother ignoring her, Ruan Ruan felt smug and couldn't help but retort to Bai Sirui.
Faced with Ruan Ruan's provocation, Bai Sirui retorted without backing down, "Even if you like her, she's mine," and then quickly followed after her.
"Hmph, it's not certain who'll get in whom yet!"
"You!"
The group walked and stopped, plucking feathers from passing geese, and soon their baskets were filled with quite a few prey.
Just as they reached the depths of the mountains, they discovered the tracks of a group of wild boars.
This made Ruan Ruan extremely excited.
Ruan Shaohong and the others split up and quietly probed towards the source of the sound. After confirming the number of wild boars, they picked up their tools and rushed out together.
Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke did the same. The two of them first took down the two wild boars closest to them as quickly as possible, and then worked together to deal with the other wild boars.
Just as the wild boars they had injured went berserk and launched a fierce attack on them, Ruan Ruan, who was standing outside their enclosure, drew her bow and shot arrows. Together, they combined their efforts, and each arrow accurately hit a vital spot, helping them eliminate all the wild boars.
"Little sister, you're amazing!"
"I never knew you had this trick up your sleeve!"
Wow, my sister is amazing!
He praised her repeatedly, and Ruan Ruan was quite pleased with herself.
Their commotion was too great, and the strong smell of blood would attract even more large animals soon. So the group quickly cleaned up the scene and each carried a wild boar down the mountain.
After descending the mountain, Huo Haocheng told Ruan Ruan and Gu Jingming to take the smaller prey back first, while the rest of them took the wild boars they had hunted directly to the army canteen.
They couldn't possibly eat all that meat at once, and the fact that they were carrying so many wild boars down the mountain so openly would have been seen by the people below, so there was no way they could take it back. Delivering it to the army mess hall would at least give everyone an extra meal.
After delivering the wild boar to the canteen, seeing that it was still early and their clothes were dirty anyway, they helped clean up the boar before going back to wash up and then having dinner at Huo Haocheng's house.
After a long day, the others returned to their dormitories and went to bed early.
In another dormitory, Ruan Shaoke was also very tired. After a quick wash, he went to bed.
Seeing him like this, Bai Sirui squeezed onto his bed, hugged him tightly, and gently asked in his ear, "You haven't answered my question yet."
When Bai Sirui raised the question, Ruan Shaoke couldn't quite recall it for a moment, and reluctantly opened his eyes to look at him.
"It was on the mountain, and I asked you, I haven't read many books, and I don't have any good poems to describe your beauty. Would you look down on me for being a roughneck? Hmm? Would you?" While asking the question, Bai Sirui didn't forget to take advantage of the situation and kissed Ruan Shaoke's neck.
"You..." Ruan Shaoke hadn't expected him to be so persistent about this issue.
"Were you well-read when I agreed to be with you?"
