"Xiao Qiao, are you going out?"
"Yes, Sister Yan, I'm going to the mountain."
"Be careful." Zheng Shengnan frowned, thought for a moment, and stood up.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "You guys continue weaving the straw ropes. Don't worry about me. I'll just go for a walk outside the mountain. Don't worry."
"I just happened to be going to the mountains too," Zheng Shengnan said, "I'll go with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Shengnan had already put on the backpack.
"Xiao Qiao, let's go."
"Yeah, okay."
The two of them came to the mountain together. Because Zheng Shengnan was there, Jiang Xiaoqiao obediently became a little girl picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables.
However, she still felt some changes.
In the past, if Jiang Xiaoqiao walked in the mountains with a basket of wild vegetables on her back, she would have felt a little tired.
But now she was relaxed, the bamboo basket on her back was almost full, and she didn't feel any effort at all.
Suddenly, there were the sounds of hurried animal footsteps in the woods.
Jiang Xiaoqiao decisively gave up the cluster of mushrooms in front of her and turned around and ran.
“Huff huff!”
"Xiao Qiao, be careful!"
Jiang Xiaoqiao saw Zheng Shengnan in front of her with a look of panic and worry on her face, and heard a rough voice behind her.
Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look back, and saw a fat and strong adult wild boar.
My God, sometimes people’s curiosity really can’t be too strong.
Her legs are a little weak, what should she do?
"Xiao Qiao, be careful!"
Zheng Shengnan's voice sounded behind her, and Jiang Xiaoqiao could even hear her hurried footsteps coming towards her.
Seeing the wild boar approaching, Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't run away in time. She raised the shovel for digging wild vegetables and made preparations nervously.
As soon as the wild boar came closer, Jiang Xiaoqiao swore that she would attack it with all her strength.
“Puff!”
"Bang!"
When the wild boar was three steps away from Jiang Xiaoqiao, a stone hit its hind leg.
Then, a swift figure sprinted out from the forest.
It was Gu Xiangbei. He appeared before Jiang Xiaoqiao and Zheng Shengnan could react, and quickly jumped onto the wild boar's back.
The axe chopped down heavily, one, two, three times.
The wild boar fell down, and something warm liquid splashed on Jiang Xiaoqiao's face and clothes.
This series of actions seemed to happen in just a moment.
Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei's eyes met. There was blood on his face, but it added a touch of wild beauty to him.
Knock knock!
Jiang Xiaoqiao put her hand over her heart. Oh no, why did she feel like her heart was really starting to beat?
At this time, 5200, which had just seemed to have crashed, jumped out.
[Ding ding ding ding ding, heart rate +10+10+15+20+20+10+5+1+1+1…]
Jiang Xiaoqiao's heart was beating violently. She pursed her lips, and Gu Xiangbei's Adam's apple rolled.
"Comrade Jiang, are you okay?"
"Xiao Qiao! Xiao Qiao! Are you okay?! I was scared to death!" Zheng Shengnan grabbed Jiang Xiaoqiao and carefully checked her up and down to see if she was injured anywhere.
Behind him, Gu Xiangbei's hands, which had been clenched into fists with nervousness, finally relaxed at this moment.
[Ding ding ding, heart rate +1+1+1+1+1+1…]
No one knows how nervous and scared Gu Xiangbei was when he heard someone calling Jiang Xiaoqiao's name after he dealt with the two wild boars in the forest and went to chase the newly grown wild boar that ran away.
At that moment, he was panicked.
But...if any of the people were in danger, he would be so panicked.
Gu Xiangbei looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao. Fortunately, fortunately she was fine.
Jiang Xiaoqiao held Zheng Shengnan's hand and said, "Sister Shengnan, I'm fine. Comrade Gu Xiangbei arrived just in time."
After these words were spoken, Zheng Shengnan turned her gaze to Gu Xiangbei.
However, Zheng Shengnan only took a quick glance and then looked away.
It is true that Gu Xiangbei appeared in time and saved Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Zheng Shengnan was very grateful, but because of her family environment since childhood, she was very resistant to strong men.
The three blows that Gu Xiangbei had just used to kill the wild boar had been deeply imprinted in Zheng Shengnan's mind.
"Thank you very much, Comrade Gu, for this time," Zheng Shengnan said. "We'll just pretend we didn't see the wild boar. Comrade Gu, don't worry."
Zheng Shengnan said this very naturally. It was not easy to have some food these days, let alone meat.
Normally, the educated youth would be extremely happy if they caught a rabbit or a pheasant in the mountains, let alone this wild boar meat.
If this were to be made public, it would be counted as work points in the brigade. When everyone in the brigade came to distribute the meat, no one would know whether they could get two kilograms of meat.
Therefore, Zheng Shengnan's idea was to keep this secret, as a way of thanking Gu Xiangbei for helping her.
Gu Xiangbei looked at the dead wild boar on the ground, but did not refute Zheng Shengnan's words.
It’s secluded in the mountains and there’s not much food, so some wild boar meat would be good.
However, Gu Xiangbei took out an axe and chopped off half of the fat wild boar meat.
He wanted to give it to Jiang Xiaoqiao, but felt it was a bit inappropriate for fear of scaring her, so he handed the wild boar meat in his hand to Zheng Shengnan.
"Whoever sees it gets a share." Gu Xiangbei said.
Zheng Shengnan took it subconsciously. This is meat! Such a big portion!
Boom boom boom!
[Ding ding ding, heart rate +1+1+1.]
[Ah, 5200, didn't Gu Xiangbei look at me? Why is there still a heartbeat value?]
[Host, this is your heartbeat value. ]
【Um? ! ! 】
[Yes, host, your heart rate can also be taken into account. The double-digit values I just reported are Gu Xiangbei's, and the +1 is yours.]
[Host, the comparison is too tragic. They immediately contributed over 200 heartbeats to you, while you have less than 15.]
Jiang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, Gu Xiangbei looked at her embarrassedly, and Zheng Shengnan, holding the meat in her hand, looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with hesitation and confusion.
"Comrade Jiang, did I scare you? Sorry, are you hurt?"
"No, no." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "How about you? This wild boar is so fierce. Are you hurt?"
"No."
Zheng Shengnan looked at Gu Xiangbei, then at Jiang Xiaoqiao, and then thought about what Jiang Xiaoqiao said at the educated youth center after returning from the blind date.
Zheng Shengnan quickly put the wild boar meat in her hand into her backpack basket of wild vegetables and covered it tightly with wild vegetables.
Zheng Shengnan's movements were particularly quick. She loaded the basket on her back and said, "Xiao Qiao, well, I suddenly remembered something. I'll be going down the mountain first."
"Comrade Gu, please help take good care of our Xiao Qiao and send her back to the educated youth camp safely later."
"I'm leaving."
Zheng Shengnan hurriedly said these three words, turned around and walked down the mountain in a hurry.
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at her anxious back and couldn't help but shout.
"Sister Shengnan, please go down the mountain slowly."
"Hey, don't worry, you should come back early too, don't be too late."
"good."
