In the past, when they picked wild vegetables, they would stroll around the foot of the mountain. Unlike today, because they had company, the five of them came here while chatting, and when they saw such a large area of wild vegetables, they forgot their fear and continued to stay here to pick wild vegetables.
Now that all the wild vegetables had been picked, Liu Fenfang finally felt scared.
"I also think it's a bit scary here. Let's go back. We've picked a lot of wild vegetables anyway, enough for a meal." Xiaolan also looked around in fear.
Zhang Meng, Xiaoqing and Tao Hong naturally had no objections.
The five people carried the full baskets in their hands and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
As the five of them were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Xiaoqing, who was at the back, suddenly screamed. Zhang Meng and the other three immediately ran back.
I saw Xiaoqing sitting on the ground, holding her head with a pale face.
"Sister Xiaoqing, what happened to you? Were you bitten by a snake?" Liu Fenfang ran over and asked.
Xiaoqing looked up at the four of them, shook her head, and pointed a trembling finger in the direction of the grass.
After a while, three more screams were heard.
"Why is there a dead person here? What's going on?" Xiaolan asked stutteringly while holding Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng narrowed her eyes. The more she looked at the person lying on the ground, the more familiar he looked.
"You stand here, I'll go over and take a look." Zhang Meng said to the four of them.
When Liu Fenfang heard that she was still going over, she was so scared that she quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not really going over there, are you? There is a dead person there. Don't go over there. Let's go back to the military area and call the men to come up and take a look."
Zhang Meng patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm just going to take a look. Nothing will happen. If you are afraid, just stand away."
Letting go of her hand, Zhang Meng continued walking towards the person lying in the bushes.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Liu Fenfang had to repeatedly remind her, "Then you have to be careful!"
Zhang Meng nodded, but did not stop. She soon stood in front of the person lying in the grass.
She bent down and turned the person over, which immediately allowed her to see the person clearly lying on the ground.
"Grandpa Miao." Zhang Meng shouted in surprise.
Liu Fenfang heard her voice, and the four of them looked at each other and decided to go over and take a look together.
When the four of them came over, they saw Zhang Meng reaching up to the nose of the old man lying on the ground.
"What's the matter? Is he dead?" Xiaolan asked nervously.
Zhang Meng glanced at the four of them and shook her head, "Not dead, still alive."
As soon as she said this, Liu Fenfang and the other three immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoqing even started crying. "I was so scared! I thought I saw a dead person. Luckily, he didn't die, otherwise I would not be able to sleep tonight."
Zhang Meng patted her shoulder and immediately looked at Liu Fenfang, pleading, "Sister Liu, please go back first and ask Gu Mingtai to come up the mountain for me. I can't move Grandpa Miao by myself."
Liu Fenfang nodded immediately, "Okay, I understand. I'll go down right away. Be careful."
Zhang Meng nodded.
"I'll stay here with Xiaomeng. Sister Liu, you take Xiaoqing and the others back first." Tao Hong suddenly said.
Zhang Meng gave her a grateful look and said, "Tao Hong, you don't have to stay with me. If you're afraid, you can go back with Sister Liu and the others."
Tao Hong shook her head. "How can that be possible? If you stay here alone and run into some bad guys, one more person can help you block them."
In the end, Tao Hong stayed.
"Xiao Meng, do you really know this old man?" Tao Hong asked curiously when she saw Zhang Meng helping the old man up and wiping the dirt off his face with his clean sleeves.
Zhang Meng nodded. "I know him. He's an old friend of my grandma's. I just don't know why he's here."
And judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been seriously injured.
The two of them stayed on the mountain for half an hour.
When Gu Mingtai, who was far away in the military district, heard what Liu Fenfang said, he dropped his work and the people he was doing without saying a word and immediately took a few of his men up the mountain.
Zhang Meng, who was staying in the bushes, soon heard faint shouts coming over.
He immediately stood up and headed up the mountain, "Gu Mingtai? I'm here, over here."
"Battalion Commander, I seem to hear my sister-in-law's voice." On Gu Mingtai's side, a soldier excitedly pointed in a direction.
Gu Mingtai nodded, ignored the people around him, and ran towards the bushes first.
"Gu Mingtai, you're here! Help me carry Grandpa Miao back home. He seems to be seriously injured."
Seeing the person coming, Zhang Meng immediately gave orders.
Gu Mingtai glanced at the old man Zhang Meng was supporting, then immediately withdrew his unconcerned gaze. He looked at Zhang Meng nervously and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhang Meng shook her head. "I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is Grandpa Miao. Please help me carry him back to the military district's medical department. I'm worried he hit his head."
Seeing that she didn't look like she was in trouble, Gu Mingtai nodded and said, "I understand. You stand aside first and I'll carry him."
At this time, the soldiers who came with Gu Mingtai also came over.
"Battalion Commander, sister-in-law, sister-in-law Tao Hong."
When several soldiers came over, they all looked a little disheveled. It seemed that the three of them must have lost their way when they came here.
"Come here and carry this old man back to the military district's medical department." Gu Mingtai immediately gave the order as soon as he saw the three of them.
The three young soldiers responded respectfully, and together they carried the unconscious old man Miao down the mountain.
Twenty minutes later, Old Man Miao was lying in the military district medical department for a physical examination.
The door curtain opened and a doctor in a white coat came out.
"Doctor, where is the injury on the old man inside?" Zhang Meng walked over and asked immediately.
"It's nothing serious, just some minor skin injuries. He's just hungry. This old man must have not eaten for several days. He fainted from hunger. I've given him an IV drip to replenish his energy. I believe he'll wake up soon. One of you go home and prepare some food. If the patient wakes up, make sure to feed him immediately."
After giving the instructions, the doctor left.
The young couple stood outside and looked inside for a while.
"You stay here and look after Uncle Miao. I'll go home and ask grandma to get some food." Gu Mingtai said.
Zhang Meng thought for a moment and nodded. "Then be careful. Oh, and don't tell Grandma about Grandpa Miao being here yet. I'm afraid she'll worry. It's not too late to tell her once things are clear. Also, I always feel like there's something strange about Grandpa Miao's appearance."
Gu Mingtai replied, "Don't think too much about it for now. We'll ask him about it when he wakes up. And if grandma asks about it, I'll think of a way to deal with it."
