Song Huaiwen took the heavy bamboo basket, but his eyes swept over the dead leaves on the ends of Shen Nanqing's hair and the mud stains on the hem of her skirt like a hawk, and said helplessly: "Go into the mountains?"
“No.” Shen Nanqing felt guilty. Halfway up the mountain shouldn’t be considered a deep mountain!
Song Huai heard this and walked forward in silence.
With her long legs and quick steps, she closed the distance between herself and Shen Nanqing in just a few steps. Shen Nanqing frowned slightly. Is this anger?
In the past, when I walked, I would deliberately move myself forward and never leave myself behind.
Before going out, Song Huaiwen repeatedly warned him not to go into the mountains. Shen Nanqing ran after him guiltily and reached out to tentatively hold the hand hanging by his side.
Normally, Song Huaiwen would have shaken her hand back, but this time she felt only a chill on her palm. He let her walk a few meters away without looking back, and his clenched finger didn't move at all.
Shen Nanqing just felt that Song Huaiwen was making a fuss, and she wanted to pull her hand back in anger, but it was held tightly, and his rough fingertips stroked the back of her hand, and a hoarse voice sounded.
"You have never been to the mountains since you were a child, so you don't know the dangers in the mountains. There are snakes, insects, rats and ants, as well as wild boars and blind bears." Song Huaiwen paused, "We have come to this mountain to clear out wild beasts before. A soldier was hit by a wild boar and had several broken ribs. He almost died."
Song Huaiwen's grip on her hand suddenly tightened a little, "From now on, when you go into the mountains, I must accompany you."
Shen Nanqing didn't know there was such a story. In her cognition, there were no large animals on the mountain. She had forgotten that this was seventy years ago. Only then did she realize how reckless she had been. Her fingertips unconsciously curled into her palm and she said "hmm" softly.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Shen Nanqing told Song Huaiwen about meeting Li Ayue in the mountains.
Two people in a hurry always travel faster than one. They walked and talked all the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of their home.
Ana Shen only then reacted, “You haven’t told me yet, how did you come from the direction of the mountain?”
Song Huaiwen stretched out his hand and pinched her face. She had the nerve to ask. Because he was worried about Shen Nanqing, he went to the other side of the mountain to find her after he had dealt with the affairs of the group. He looked around the foot of the mountain but couldn't find her. He was scared to death. Then he went deeper to look for her, but still couldn't find her. So he decided to come back first. Unexpectedly, he saw Shen Nanqing's figure from a distance.
"Guess." Song Huaiwen stepped over the threshold and walked in.
The sun was setting, Shen Nanqing and Song Huaiwen were busy in the yard, and Huang Xuelin hurriedly knocked on the gate.
Huang Xuelin received a call from the dock and ran over directly from the regiment headquarters, panting and saying, "Captain, the dock notified you to pick up the goods. They said that all the items mailed from Yandu have arrived. There are a lot of items, so you should go pick them up immediately."
"I know." Song Huaiwen stood up and walked to the well to wash his hands. "Go to the regiment headquarters and call a few people to wait for me at the dock. I'll be there later."
"Okay." Huang Xuelin responded, but his eyes were secretly glancing at Shen Nanqing.
When Huang Xuelin was doing drills today, Zhao Jianye paid special attention to him. Then he realized that the rumor on the island that his sister-in-law was not good-looking was actually due to his unintentional words.
For this, 놛 felt a little guilty and wanted to apologize to Shen Nanqing, but he didn't know where to start.
Song Huaiwen noticed that Huang Xuelin's eyes were always on Shen Nanqing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Xuelin!"
Huang Xuelin was startled and said quickly: "Captain, I'll go and call him now."
After saying that, without any hesitation, he turned around and ran away. Let's just say that he was sorry! Anyway, Captain Zhao has already taught me a lesson. If the regiment commander knows that I am the instigator, what awaits me...
Song Huaiwen asked: "The things sent from home have arrived. Do you want to go to the dock to take a look?"
"I'm not going. Didn't you ask me to help move it? I'll prepare some tea and snacks at home..." Shen Nanqing changed the subject, "I'll go."
She also remembered what Zhao Jianye said yesterday, that the best way to break the rumors was for her to speak out in person.
Shen Nanqing hurried to the well, washed his hands, then washed his face with water, and then walked towards the house.
Song Huaiwen was puzzled, "Aren't we going to the dock?"
Shen Nanqing blinked at him and said mysteriously, "You'll know later."
After a while, Shen Nanqing came out of the room. Song Huaiwen's eyes lit up instantly and he stared at her.
Shen Nanqing did not miss the surprise in Wang's eyes, and it was worth her hard work. She reached out and took Song Huaiwen's arm, standing beside Wang like a little bird, and said softly: "Let's go!"
Song Huaiwen didn't understand. If she wasn't going to the dock to move things, why did she change into a new skirt? It seemed that she had put something on her lips, which made them moist and made him want to take a bite.
Although he was puzzled, Song Huaiwen obviously enjoyed this kind of intimacy, and the curve of his mouth never dropped.
The pier was crowded with people coming and going, and the appearance of Shen Nanqing and Song Huaiwen was undoubtedly a beautiful landscape.
Song Huaiwen's clothes were stained with mud because she was digging in the yard, but her tall figure and superior looks were enough to make up for the shortcomings of her clothes. Not to mention Shen Nanqing, she came prepared. The light blue floral dress made her skin look like cream, and her sweet smile was dazzling.
When Huang Xuelin and a few other recruits saw this scene, their lips slightly parted, and they took a long time to recover from the shock.
Song Huaiwen walked closer and counted the number of wooden boxes. Seeing that everything was complete, he coughed lightly and said, "Let's move."
"Okay." Huang Xuelin was the first to react. He looked at his companion who had not yet recovered and nudged him with his elbow.
Shen Nanqing took this scene in his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face: "I'll prepare some tea and snacks at home. You guys are really tired on this trip."
Everyone was overjoyed and said in unison: "Sister-in-law, it's not hard."
Facts have proved that Shen Nanqing's move is very effective. The wind direction on the island changed overnight.
The things sent from Yandu this time included not only daily necessities such as clothes and bedding, but also many specialties of Yandu.
Qiongzhou Island was too hot, and it was difficult to keep the food, so Shen Nanqing divided the specialty into three portions, sending one portion to Li Yuquan's home, one portion to Zhou Cuixiu's home, and the rest to Song Huaiwen to take to the regiment headquarters to share with his family so that they could try something new.
Shen Nanqing stood in front of the gate of Zhou Cuixiu's house. Her yard was full of vitality, with various vegetables planted on both sides and a gravel path in the middle.
"Is anyone home?" She reached out and knocked on the open gate.
Zhou Cuixiu came out upon hearing the sound, and seeing Shen Nanqing in front of the courtyard gate, she quickly smiled and said, "It's Nanqing! Come in quickly."
Shen Nanqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't go in today, I have something to do at home, I came here mainly to give you some Yandu specialties, it's hot and it's hard to keep things, you can try something new."
"You are too polite." Zhou Cuixiu looked at the specialty that Shen Nanqing stuffed into her hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Then she turned around and shouted into the house, "Mom, help me get the crabs and shrimps in the bucket."
