Qiao Xuejun suddenly seemed to have heard something incredible, and finally looked up at Zhao Xian.
She looked at the tightly tied rope on Zhao Xian's waist belt and asked, "Why can't I untie it?"
Zhao Xian immediately shirked the blame: "You tied it too tightly before."
"You clearly..." Qiao Xuejun stood up and walked in front of Zhao Xian, grabbing the safety ring again, "Did I tie it tightly? It was obviously loose, otherwise you could have easily untied it before?"
You untied it, you tied it yourself, and now you say she tied it?
"I was just kidding." Zhao Xian saw that the person seemed to have brought up the angry topic again, so he hurriedly took the safety ring and untied it himself.
He looked at Qiao Xuejun's face, then reminded her: "Mask."
Qiao Xuejun pulled up the mask to cover her mouth and nose.
Zhao Xian had been observing Qiao Xuejun's expression, and he neatly put away the climbing rope in the way it was tied: "Teacher Qiao, I'm not angry anymore."
Qiao Xuejun didn't say anything.
In fact, after she realized it, she didn't know why she was so angry all of a sudden. Was it because it was too dangerous? It was indeed very dangerous, and Zhao Xian was going there to get materials for her. If something happened to her, she couldn't accept it.
But it seems that it is not just because of this.
Or was she too worried? As the leader of the First Base, Zhao Xian had always been an excellent manager. At the same time, Zhao Xian also took good care of them. So when she saw Zhao Xian was in danger, she was of course worried.
But now Zhao Xian is obviously safe.
Why do I still feel so unhappy?
...It must be because Zhao Xian's self-examination was not sincere at all! This man! Next time when there is danger, he will definitely rush in first, still reluctantly, and will show off his strength.
But...I can actually understand it.
He is the lord, and he is responsible for the survival of the entire base. His style of worrying about everything cannot be changed. Qiao Xuejun felt that he did not seem to have the right to be angry about this.
Zhao Xian put away all the climbing rope equipment, half squatted down, and put them into Qiao Xuejun's backpack.
He zipped up his backpack and lifted it up to hang it over his shoulder: "Come with us to the cave first, and then we can go somewhere else."
Zhao Xian trusted her ability to act, but this was on a barren mountain, and even the soldiers acted in teams. It would be fine if she just wandered around. But Zhao Xian would never agree to act alone at a distance.
Qiao Xuejun was silent for a moment: "I understand."
Zhao Xian walked forward, and Qiao Xuejun followed him, watching him carrying his big backpack. She wanted to ask for her backpack back, but after thinking about it, she shut up.
Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to help? He could carry it if he wanted to, since he had plenty of energy to spare.
When the two of them started arguing before, Ren Wangwang quickly retreated, pretending to be deaf and dumb and standing guard nearby. He only came forward after the argument was over.
He looked at the captain who was carrying Qiao Xuejun's backpack, and then looked at Qiao Xuejun who was following closely behind the captain, thinking that this should be the problem solved and the matter was over.
But the two of them just kept their heads down and walked without saying anything, so Ren Wangwang started to liven up the atmosphere: "Captain is still as impressive as ever! He got the plant up so quickly!"
After praising the captain, he wanted to ask about the plant, but before he could change the subject, he heard Qiao Xuejun speaking.
Qiao Xuejun said calmly: "As his comrades-in-arms and right-hand men, you did not persuade him when he was in danger, but encouraged him to continue taking risks. Do you think this is right?"
She did not miss the excitement and yearning in Ren Wangwang's voice, which was also one of praise and admiration.
Ren Wangwang: “…”
But they are used to it. And they have always been used to it. The captain is omnipotent and has his own ideas. They only need to obey the captain's orders. Obedience is the only thing they have to do. There is no need to question any of the captain's instructions.
Ren Wangwang looked at Zhao Xian, who gave him a look. After tacitly understanding what Zhao Xian meant, Ren Wangwang nodded and responded: "Teacher Qiao is right. We will not encourage the captain next time."
Qiao Xuejun pursed her lips, feeling that she had not yet completely controlled her emotions, and had even dragged in Ren Wangwang who was watching.
She continued the topic that Ren Wangwang had brought up, "The material that the lord brought should be a type of rye. The output is similar to that of wheat, and the yield of rye is also very high. If it is suitable for the current natural environment, we can try to plant it on a large scale."
There are many rye plants in northern high-latitude countries. The most important thing is that it is cold-resistant. Some varieties can even withstand temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius. The yield is also quite good.
Ren Wangwang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "When can we plant on a large scale?"
Qiao Xuejun: "It depends on how many we can find on the remaining cliffs. If there are a lot, we can plant them directly. If there are not many... I have to take them back to my shelter to breed them."
This material was not easy to obtain. Zhao Xian took the risk to get it.
Ren Wangwang: "Let's pack up the things in the cave and go to the other cliffs to have a look. We'll try to bring back as much as possible. This rye can also be used to make noodles, right?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes."
Ren Wangwang has great confidence in Qiao Xuejun's conclusion. If Qiao Xuejun says yes, then yes, they just need to wait for the noodles!
·
Qiao Xuejun didn't participate much in their work in the cave, just observed from the side.
With the support of Zhao Xian's equipment, they soon found a mutant creature's nest under the cave. The mutant creatures seemed to be hibernating and were very inactive, as if they were frozen.
They were totally different from the previous period when they were flexible and active. Now they were like lambs to be slaughtered, with no ability to resist and were very harmless.
But Qiao Xuejun still saw bones similar to those of human calves in this nest. The flesh on them had been eaten clean, leaving behind densely packed jagged fish tooth marks.
After Zhao Xian gave the order, the soldiers took action, killing all the large mutant creatures in the nest, dismembering them on the spot, and wrapping the important fish parts in body bags and transporting them away.
The useless parts were thrown away.
The battle ended much faster than Qiao Xuejun had imagined.
The soldiers returned with a full load, including Qiao Xuejun.
After coming out of the cave, Zhao Xian took her to several other cliffs, and found growing plants on the edge of almost every cliff.
It was Zhao Xian who went down to help her pick the fruits.
A total of 2 rye plants and one wild pea seedling were collected.
Qiao Xuejun thought that maybe what Lao Zhang saw at that time was this pea seedling, not rye. This wild pea happened to grow on the shortest cliff.
Taking the three newly added plants, Zhao Xian sent Qiao Xuejun back home.
Before leaving, he reminded Qiao Xuejun: "Next time you want to go out, remember to tell me."
