If she could, she would love to stay in this peace forever.
Song Zhenzhu walked over at this moment: "Professor Su, shall we go there together and take a look?"
She pointed to a spot.
Su Miaoyan snapped out of her daze and said, "Okay."
The two carried their tools and equipment and walked towards the foot of Mount Lamagan not far away. Their canvas shoes made a rustling sound as they stepped on the thin snow. Su Miaoyan took out her notebook to take notes.
This was a snowy area, and not far away was the Gobi Desert. Su Miaoyan could even see some small animals curiously poking their heads out, observing their movements.
Su Miaoyan ignored it and continued talking to Song Zhenzhu.
"Professor Song, did you do these same things when you came to Takuwa town in previous years?"
Song Zhenzhu had already gone to the other side to record the data. She stopped, smiled, and looked up: "Yes, the data needs to be updated every year, and the task of updating this data is left to us."
Su Miaoyan understood: "So how long does it usually take to process all this data?"
Song Zhenzhu looked thoughtful for a while before replying: "The situation varies from year to year. If the situation is simple, it can be completed in a few days. If the situation is complicated, it will take about five days. However, we only have about a week to conduct on-site investigations here. Usually, the first two days are for data collection and statistics. After the statistics are completed, we are usually given two days to rest."
Su Miaoyan said "Oh," and then asked, "Pearl, do people climb mountains here?"
As if she had heard something funny, Song Zhenzhu looked at her in shock: "You mean climbing mountains?"
Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "Hmm, what's wrong? Is climbing mountains difficult?"
Song Zhenzhu's expression turned serious: "The Lamagan Mountains stretch endlessly, and countless adventurers want to climb them, but it's best not to try it lightly, because the mountain climate is unpredictable, and you could easily freeze to death up there if you're not careful."
Upon hearing that someone might die, Su Miaoyan didn't ask any further questions.
She walked to the other side and began taking notes on the various things on the mountain, occasionally glancing into the distance.
What she was really curious about was where the black market was.
Even if no one is watching here, the commotion is too big, and it will definitely be reported by envious people in other places.
The black market will definitely be located in an extremely secluded place.
But where could it be?
Never mind, let's finish what we're doing first.
Su Miaoyan focused all her attention on the notebook in her hands.
He took notes in his notebook as he walked.
Before they knew it, it was getting late. Professor Yan glanced at the time and said to the group who were still conducting their investigation, "It's getting late. I bet you haven't eaten yet. It's dangerous here tonight, so let's go back to the courtyard first. Tonight, we won't cook ourselves; we'll use the funds to eat at a local resident's house!"
Song Zhenzhu's eyes sparkled; "Great, great, Professor Yan, let's go quickly."
Yan Huaili glanced at her helplessly: "You're still the same as before, you're always the most anxious when we arrive in Takuwa."
Song Zhenzhu chuckled: "There's nothing I can do, Professor Yan, the food here is just too delicious. I've never forgotten it since I ate it once."
Hearing Song Zhenzhu say this, Su Miaoyan couldn't help but become a little curious.
She walked over to Song Zhenzhu and asked softly, "Is the food here really that delicious?"
Song Zhenzhu nodded frantically.
This made Su Miaoyan even more curious.
She tugged at Song Zhenzhu's sleeve and continued to ask, "What kind of good food is available here? Is it the same as usual, with rice, sweet potatoes, and regular dishes?"
Song Zhenzhu shook her head and winked at her: "You'll understand when you see it. I don't know how to put it into words."
Seeing the two talking together, Xiao Xu came over and asked, "Sister Song, Sister Su, what are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."
Su Miaoyan saw that it was Xu Weilan and was about to answer when Yan Huaili's voice rang out.
"Everyone, hurry up and catch up, or we'll miss the mealtime and it will be harder to communicate."
Song Zhenzhu quickly tugged at their sleeves and whispered, "Come on, let's hurry up, or we'll miss the time. I don't want to cook for myself."
The two quickly caught up with the others. Once they were out of the Lamakan Mountains, the temperature rose again, and everyone took off their coats and packed away all their tools.
After they had packed their things away, everyone followed Yan Huaili into the village.
Not far away, Lu Ting was leading everyone in training, but it seemed that they had already finished training and were cleaning up the obstacles.
Su Miaoyan spotted Lu Ting from afar. As if sensing someone's gaze on him, Lu Ting frowned slightly and subconsciously looked towards the distance.
As soon as she raised her head, a figure appeared in front of her, perfectly blocking Su Miaoyan's view of him.
Lu Ting was surprised. The girl in front of him was dressed in local traditional clothing. She had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and long hair that was tied into a bunch of braids. Her lips were slightly upturned, and her pupils were as black as obsidian. She looked exceptionally beautiful.
However, her beauty is a very distinctive kind of beauty, different from Su Miaoyan's beauty. It's the kind of beauty that makes people know she's good-looking at first glance, but the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.
Speaking in broken Mandarin, Aydana stood in front of Lu Ting, holding a steaming cup of milk tea in her hand: "It's been a year, Chief Lu, how are you? I'm Aydana, the girl you rescued from the wolves a year ago. Now I've grown up."
Lu Ting's furrowed brows relaxed slightly as he clearly heard the girl's words: "You are... Aida?"
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing that the other person also recognized her, Aida's bright little face beamed with an even brighter smile.
She didn't waste any words, but continued with a smile, "We knew you were coming, so to repay your life-saving grace, my father prepared a meal in the yard, waiting for you to come and eat together. Chief Lu, last year there was an emergency and our family didn't have this opportunity, but this time, we must entertain you!"
Lu Ting glanced at his brothers behind him, who were sweating profusely but standing ramrod straight. He pondered for a few seconds and then refused, saying, "I need to ask my superiors for approval before I can agree."
Aida's expression remained unchanged: "Chief Lu, we've heard about this too, but don't worry, your superiors have also been invited by us."
Lu Ting frowned slightly. What a coincidence?
He wanted to see which of his superiors was inside, or whether Aida was lying.
He nodded and agreed, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Aydana said happily, "Okay, then come with me. It's been a year, you probably don't remember the way to my house. I'll take you there."
At this moment, Dai Yong'an also approached Lu Ting's side. When Aida saw Dai Yong'an, she greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Battalion Commander Dai. Did you come with Commander Lu this time as well?"
