Zhao Xian moved quickly. Before Qiao Xuejun could react, he took two big strides into the tent and put the person down again.
"Go to sleep. We still have a long way to go."
Qiao Xuejun was put down, and the hand holding his collar slowly loosened, then he took it back and rubbed his forehead: "I accidentally fell asleep."
It's too tiring to travel day and night.
Zhao Xian said: "We have traveled for such a long time, it is time to rest. After crossing this mountain, we will sail over the sea and there will be no time to rest."
Qiao Xuejun rubbed his nose and said, "Yeah. Is it 8 hours of rest?"
Zhao Xian: “Yes.”
Eight soldiers work in shifts of two, each on duty for two hours, and each can rest for six hours.
Qiao Xuejun: "Then I will sleep for 5 hours. For the remaining 3 hours, you can ask the night watchman to wake me up. I will go check nearby."
Zhao Xian: “…Okay.”
Qiao Xuejun felt relieved. She threw her coat aside, got into her sleeping bag and continued to sleep. She closed the sleeping bag and looked at Zhao Xian: "Are you sleeping too?"
Zhao Xian: "I'll be there in a minute."
Eight soldiers shared a tent with four people, and Zhao Xian and Qiao Xuejun shared a tent. However, they had only set up tents twice in the past few days, including today, and the last time was for a short rest of 4 hours. Zhao Xian had never entered the tent during the whole trip, and Qiao Xuejun didn't know how he could be so energetic.
Aren’t you tired?
As expected, it’s Zhao Xian.
She really wanted to sleep, so she closed her eyes and murmured, "Remember to wake me up."
Zhao Xian lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xuejun.
Because of the cold weather, her face was a little pale and she couldn't hide her fatigue.
The old professor was exhausted after rushing all the way here, and he couldn't relax just because he was with Qiao Xuejun. Even this break was arranged for the rest of the journey, not for her.
Actually, I shouldn't have brought her here.
He and his subordinates were all able to adapt to this kind of trip, but Qiao Xuejun was not. It was pure suffering for her to follow. It was only after they set off that he realized that Qiao Xuejun was different from them.
Compared to them, Qiao Xuejun is a weak existence.
But Qiao Xuejun never complained, and tried her best to keep up throughout the whole process. Even now, she still wants to compress her limited rest time to work.
It was precisely because he knew that Qiao Xuejun was such a hard-working person that he brought her out.
I brought it out and regretted it.
Zhao Xian took a look for two seconds before standing up and walking out of the tent with light steps.
·
Qiao Xuejun was sleeping soundly.
When she woke up naturally, she was still a little confused. After a while, she came out of the warm sleeping bag and felt the cold outside. She put on the protective suit and quickly zipped up the inside and outside.
She was still the only one in the tent; Zhao Xian was not there.
Doesn't this person need to rest?
She put her sleeping bag away and glanced down at the water bottle and a bag of compressed rations placed next to her sleeping bag.
Judging from the amount of military rations, they were specially reserved for her. They should have been placed here by Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xianren is so nice.
She was actually a little hungry, so she picked up the water bottle and compressed rations and sat down to eat. The water in the water bottle was warm, suitable for drinking and very comfortable.
After finishing the meal and putting away the food, Qiao Xuejun looked at the time.
It was 3 o'clock in the morning when she fell asleep. She asked Zhao Xian to wake her up every 5 hours, but he hasn't come to wake her up yet, so it should be less than 8 o'clock.
After looking at the time on the watch, Qiao Xuejun was stunned. 9 o'clock?
How come it’s already 9 o’clock?
She hurried out of the tent. In front of the campfire, Zhao Xian was sitting on a rock, cleaning the gun in his hand.
He turned his head and looked up at Qiao Xuejun. He put the gun back to his waist.
"woke up?"
Qiao Xuejun walked over quickly and asked, "Why didn't you call me?"
Didn't they agree to this? It's already 9 o'clock and they have to leave at 11 o'clock. They slept an extra hour. There are only two hours left.
Zhao Xian took it and said: "It will take a lot of energy to travel further. You need to get enough rest to travel well. Go and sleep for a while."
Qiao Xuejun looked around and found that in addition to Zhao Xian, there were two other soldiers on guard, and the other soldiers were resting in the tent.
She lowered her voice and sat next to Zhao Xian: "No, I've had enough sleep."
Zhao Xian: "You woke up without even being called."
Even though she was so tired, she would wake up naturally even if I didn't call her. I don't know what kind of environment she grew up in, but she has a strong sense of responsibility.
She straightened her messy hair and tied it into a high ponytail again, then rolled it up and tied it into a neat bun. "I want to go around and take a look at the situation. I won't go far."
Zhao Xian: "I'll go with you."
"Don't you want to take a break? We still have some time." Qiao Xuejun stood up, "You don't need to accompany me. I know my limits."
Zhao Xian still stood up and asked her calmly, "Where do you want to go first?"
"Lord, you are so strong. Aren't you tired?" Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qiao Xuejun couldn't help but flatter him.
Zhao Xian smiled and said, "After joining the army, I can sleep while sitting or squatting."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "There is a valley over there. I want to go there and have a look. The terrain there is not exposed to the sun during high temperatures, so there may be plants left there."
The lowest part of the valley was flooded, leaving the upper body exposed.
Zhao Xian: “Let’s walk.”
He greeted the two soldiers on duty and said, “I am accompanying Teacher Qiao to investigate the environment and will be back before departure.
"yes!"
Qiao Xuejun took Zhao Xian and walked quickly towards that direction, intending to walk as much as possible in the remaining two hours.
The mountain road was rugged and Qiao Xuejun was walking quite fast, but Zhao Xian had long legs and he was in front of Qiao Xuejun in just a few steps and even looked back at her.
