Neither of them were lazy in bed. They got up early in the morning and went out to exercise together before it was fully light. This was Jiang Qiao's strict requirement; no matter what, good health was more important than anything else.
Besides, they are both skilled. They shouldn't let their skills go to waste just because they're living a comfortable life. Who knows when they might need them in the future? Consider it a way to keep their bodies healthy.
This was Ning Hao's first time sparring with Jiang Qiao. He had only heard people say that his wife was amazing and had captured a lot of enemy agents, but he genuinely had no idea just how good Jiang Qiao's skills were.
However, after exchanging blows today, they realized that Jiang Qiao's skills were different from theirs. Every move she made was a killing blow. Fortunately, Jiang Qiao held back, afraid of hurting Ning Hao, and only touched him lightly.
After finishing the practice, Ning Hao couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, compared to you, I feel like I'm far behind!"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "You practice military boxing, while mine is just a self-taught style. I learned some from books, watched people fight and figured it out myself. I combined these techniques with some internal energy cultivation, and that's how it turned out."
Don't be discouraged, practice slowly. You've only been practicing your internal energy for a short time, while I've been practicing for much longer. You still have a lot of room for improvement. Let's go home for dinner.
Before heading into the mountains, Jiang Qiao didn't know how the village had arranged things, but she still prepared a lot of food. Who knew when they could hunt wolves? It was always good to prepare more; she couldn't expect the villagers to provide for her, could she?
This was Ning Hao's first time doing something like this, and he didn't know what the rules were before, or if it was the same as when they went down to guide the work. Anyway, it was better to be prepared.
However, when Ning Hao saw Jiang Qiao come out in a different outfit, he was dumbfounded. This was too much!
He wore baggy cotton trousers with the cuffs tied, a dusty cotton-padded jacket with patches, and a large cotton hat on his head. If he hadn't come out of his own house, someone who didn't know his background would have thought he was a beggar.
The change is too drastic, isn't it? He was puzzled. "What are you doing? Why are you dressed like this instead of wearing your perfectly good clothes? It's not like we can't afford to dress you up. Mom and the others prepared a lot of clothes for you. Why aren't you wearing them? No one will criticize your attire as a new bride."
Jiang Qiao chuckled and explained, "It's more convenient for me to get down here this way. Everyone's doing it this way, so I shouldn't be special. Besides, what nice clothes can I wear when we're going into the mountains? Let's go, let's go—"
Jiang Qiao carried her own basket, and Ning Hao felt a little sorry for his wife. They had everything they needed at home, but the situation outside prevented his wife from going out. He sighed, picked up the other basket that Jiang Qiao had prepared, and followed her out.
When the couple arrived at Ning Hao's workplace, they attracted a crowd of onlookers because Jiang Qiao's previous attire was completely different from her current one. If you have nice clothes, who would want to dress poorly?
Those who attended Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao's wedding, in particular, can all attest to that. The woman is not short of money. What happened today? Why does she look like a penniless person?
However, no one could say this directly; they could only joke, "Hey, isn't this the new bride? The honeymoon period isn't over yet, and she's already changed clothes?"
Jiang Qiao didn't care about their teasing at all. "What? I finally got a new set of clothes. You think I'd wear them into the mountains? Who would be willing to do that? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Jiang Qiao remained remarkably calm as everyone scrutinized her attire. In fact, what everyone was more curious about was why they had brought Jiang Qiao along this time.
Yes, Jiang Qiao is well-known, but isn't it inappropriate to send a newlywed woman there?
You tell me, what if something happens? How are these grown men going to explain this to Ning Hao? This is a wolf hunt, not enemy agents. Those wolves aren't pushovers; those beasts don't mince words.
"Ning Hao, your wife can just watch the fun, don't let her go into the mountains. Find a family to stay with and wait for us to come out."
Ning Hao naturally had no objections; he didn't know what the leader meant either.
“I think it’s a good idea. Jiang Qiao gets bored staying at home alone, so I thought I’d take her to see wolf hunting. I didn’t expect her to go into the mountains. You know, even grown men can’t stand this cold weather, let alone women. And who knows when we’ll be able to get down the mountain.”
As everyone was chatting, Liu Qingshan came over and told them to bring their gear and get in the car.
After glancing at Jiang Qiao's outfit, Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "This is a good outfit, not conspicuous. Get in the car, we'll talk later."
As for what else to say, the other party didn't say, and Jiang Qiao didn't ask. She wasn't in a hurry; once they arrived at their destination, Liu Qingshan would definitely have to tell them.
If this person dares to harbor evil intentions, with so many people around, he won't escape.
Ning Hao was driving the truck. Liu Qingshan, being the leader, naturally sat in the driver's seat. Jiang Qiao was the only female comrade, so they couldn't let her stand in the back in the wind.
Liu Qingshan also chose this moment to tell Jiang Qiao the whole story of why he wanted her to come.
"See a doctor? What illness do you have that requires me to come see a doctor? Can't you find a doctor in the county town?"
Liu Qingshan sighed, "The situation is a bit special. I can't take him to see a doctor, so I can only ask you for help, Jiang Qiao. This person is my former boss. He got into some trouble and was demoted to Nanshan Village."
Liu Qingshan didn't say anything more. The couple were both sensible people, and he didn't need to say anything more. Jiang Qiao should understand what he meant.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "The key question is, can I get close to them? I can treat patients, but if someone is watching over me, even if I get there, it will be for nothing."
Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. We're taking the militia with us this time, so this is an opportunity. I'll tell you the location later. Once they've all come with us, Jiang Qiao, find a way to get in and treat that lame old man there."
Liu Qingshan didn't say who the other person was, and Jiang Qiao didn't ask either. She guessed that the old man was probably someone special.
"Alright, since you don't mind my self-taught medical skills, I'll try to see that old man. I can't guarantee whether I can cure him, but I'll do my best."
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded, pushing a package next to him toward Jiang Qiao. "Girl, take this to the old man and let him stay there in peace. I'll find someone to take care of him."
As Ning Hao drove, he pondered, "I wondered why Liu Qingshan suddenly suggested bringing Jiang Qiao along. It seems he's got his sights set on this."
However, the fact that Lao Liu could still think of finding someone to take care of his former boss at this time shows that he is a good person and worth befriending.
