The Wild Wolf Regiment's base.
Because the regiment commander took the initiative to be transferred to a lower position for a mission, he is now the deputy regiment commander Jiangbei acting as the agent. He is so busy every day that he wishes he could be split into pieces.
"Deputy Captain! Something's happening!"
A soldier rushed in without knocking, scaring Jiang Bei, who was busy customizing a training plan, so much that his hands trembled and the pen in his hand immediately left a big ink mark on the paper.
"What are you yelling about? Did you learn military discipline for nothing? Don't you know to report in first?"
He angrily rolled up the unfinished training schedule in his hand into a ball and threw it directly at the soldier. He glared at him in a stern tone, but he was not really angry.
"Report to the deputy commander! An arrow just shot into our camp! There was a piece of paper on it!"
When the soldier heard this, he immediately stood at attention. His voice was so powerful and loud that it made Jiang Bei's head buzz.
Rubbing his forehead helplessly, Jiang Bei sighed silently. It was another day when he missed his leader!
"Show it to me."
He reached out and took the arrow and paper from the soldier's hand. At first he didn't care, but after reading the contents of the note, he jumped up from his chair.
Is this true or false!?
"Go and tie up the regiment commander who's still carrying manure at the foot of the mountain! Tell him! Something terrible has happened! The sky is about to fall!"
Not caring at all about how shocking the bomb he threw was, Gu Zuozuo delivered the message, patted his butt and slipped away quickly.
"What took you so long?"
Meng Tian stood at the entrance of the educated youth site with a worried look on her face, constantly looking towards the back mountain. When she saw Gu Zuozuo coming back carrying large and small bundles of firewood, she silently breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the heart that had been in her throat.
"It's a bit far."
"Next time, keep an eye on the time, or we'll be worried."
"good."
When the sky began to snow lightly, the educated youth site fell into a quiet atmosphere. It was so cold outside that it felt like the breath could freeze into pieces.
Meng Tian and Gu Zuozuo were chatting and laughing in the house while washing jars, preparing to use them to pickle pickles and sauerkraut. Gu Zuozuo sat cross-legged on the kang, grinding the medicinal herbs he had prepared, preparing to make a few boxes of whitening cream and moisturizing cream for the two little ancestors who were returning home.
"I collected over a hundred duck eggs from my fellow villagers. Shall we pickle them and eat them?"
Qi Meng, a duck egg lover, dragged out a large basket from under the table, lifted the grass on top, revealing a basket full of large green-skinned duck eggs underneath.
"When did you take it? You kept it a secret, didn't you?"
Qi Meng raised her little head proudly. How could she possibly go and collect them herself? What if those black-hearted people at the educated youth site saw it and reported it to her? Wouldn't that be disgusting?
"I asked Ma Liang and Grandma Ma for help."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While they were chatting and busy with their work, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from deep in the back mountain.
Everyone at the educated youth point closest to the back mountain had a drastic change of expression and ran out without even having time to put on their cotton-padded jackets.
In the yard, everyone looked towards the back mountain with serious expressions, not knowing what had happened there and hesitating whether they should go and check.
"Bang, bang! Hey, hey! Can you hear me? I'm telling you, someone's using explosives to mine rocks in the back mountains. Don't panic, it's nothing! Stay home and eat and drink. Don't run around. No one's responsible if you get hurt!"
The captain finished speaking in one breath what the military comrades had told him to do. After he finished speaking, he wiped the cold sweat off his face, his heart pounding.
Who would have thought that there was such a group of time bombs hidden in their mountain? Fortunately, everyone in their village was afraid of death and did not dare to go deep into the mountains, otherwise no one would have escaped.
"Thank you for your cooperation, comrade! Please keep an eye on us and don't let any members go up the mountain out of curiosity. The situation in the mountains is not peaceful right now. Someone will come and tell you when it's over."
Duan Jianhua nodded. He knew the seriousness of the matter. He would ask the patrol team organized by the village to keep a close eye on the patrol to prevent those members who always wanted to take advantage of small opportunities from going up the mountain to take advantage of the situation.
"Zuo Zuo, is blasting and quarrying normal now?"
It's November and the temperature is almost down to 60 degrees. I feel like my head will freeze off just by going out. Um, they're quarrying these days? Are you kidding me?
Gu Zuozuo withdrew his gaze from the mountain behind and slowly returned to his room.
"If they say it's normal, then it's normal. It has nothing to do with us. Go pickle your pickles and don't interfere."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tian and Qi Meng looked at each other, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes. It seemed that Zuo Zuo knew what happened in the back mountain. Since it had nothing to do with them, they didn't care too much and went back to the house to continue their unfinished pickling project.
"You're on the train the day after tomorrow. I've prepared some local specialties for Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng, and my uncle. Would you like to send them over in advance?"
Meng Tian was returning to her home in Hai City, and Qi Meng was returning to her uncle's home in Jing City. She was also a student of Gu Zuozuo's parents, so she also called him uncle.
"No, there's not much stuff. We can just carry it along."
Gu Zuozuo raised her eyebrows. Didn’t she tell her how much she had prepared?
Two days later, before dawn, Qi Meng and Meng Tian were both dumbfounded. They stared blankly at the sack that was almost as tall as them, and they almost had a heart attack.
"Zuo Zuo, I think my parents might not like the local specialties here...right?"
"Exactly. I think my uncle and his family can't find any good things in Beijing, so maybe they're just short of something... I mean maybe!"
The two people's words slowly turned into silence in Gu Zuozuo's half-smile. After a long time, they let out a wail and both fell back onto the big kang, completely exhausted.
"Why didn't you tell me you had so much prepared?"
"You didn't ask."
Is this even a question? They aren't some pervert like Gu Zuozuo, with immense strength. They're just ordinary newbies in this world, the kind that would be blown away by the wind. Did her sisters have any misunderstandings about them?
"Stop pretending to be dead, get up, Uncle Ma is waiting for you at the door!"
She had already made arrangements and sent a telegram to Meng's father, mother and uncle in advance. There would be someone to pick up and drop off the two young ladies when they got on and off the bus, so they wouldn't be tired.
"Zuo Zuo, since you can't cook, go live with Ma Liang and Grandma Ma. Don't make do with one meal a day and go hungry! You'll get stomach problems. The weather is too cold. If you really can't, you can move to his house. Remember to lock the doors and windows when you sleep alone at night. Don't be so fearless just because you have some mediocre skills! Remember to add firewood to the kang. Don't go crazy while practicing. You're practicing internal skills, not an iron wall that's invulnerable to wind and fire..."
There was a comfortable and gentle smile in the corners of Gu Zuozuo's eyes and mouth. He listened to Meng Tian and Qi Meng's muttering before they left. He didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he listened patiently, nodded from time to time, and promised that he would eat well and pay attention to safety.
After seeing off the two good sisters who were worried about her, Gu Zuozuo returned to the deserted youth cadre center. Looking at the empty dormitory after the two of them left, the smile on her lips slowly faded and returned to the deserted lifestyle. For her, quiet and solitude was the lifestyle she was most accustomed to.
She's always been alone, hasn't she?
