Chapter 119 She is Shining (1)
Early in the morning.
Yang Rui changed her clothes and came out of the house, then walked around in front of Jiang Ning.
She asked happily with a smile on her face and a somewhat excited look.
"A Ning, is it okay for me to do this?"
The same is going out to walk on the mountain road.
This time, Yang Rui's outfit was completely different from the previous time when she went hiking and picking mushrooms.
The beautiful long hair was tied into a neat and tidy braid.
I also changed my clothes into old clothes that I usually wore, so I wouldn't have to worry if they got dirty or scratched by tree branches.
The shoes on my feet are the most comfortable cloth-soled shoes.
Even if you walk on the mountain road for a long time, you will not feel tired.
Yang Rui also followed Jiang Ning's instructions and borrowed a straw hat from her sister-in-law next door and hung it around her neck.
Everything is packed up and ready to go.
However, she was only missing one thing.
"Xiao Rui, there's also a kettle. We're going to be walking for a long time, so you can bring some boiled water with you so you can eat it on the way. There's also steamed buns and wowotou, did you bring them?"
"I brought it! I put it in my backpack
inside. I just forgot my kettle. I'll go back and get it. ”
Yang Rui turned around hurriedly and went back to the house to get the kettle.
Jiang Ning warned her from behind.
"Take your time. We can't catch up."
As soon as you enter the door.
Yang Rui discovered that the kettle that was originally hanging on the kitchen wall was placed in a very conspicuous position.
The old kettle that had been used for many years has been transformed into a shiny new kettle.
The only people living in this house are Yang Rui and Zhao Shuisheng.
Since it wasn't Yang Rui who did it, then it could only be Zhao Shuisheng.
The lid of the old kettle was a bit damaged. Every time I closed the lid, I didn’t tighten it tightly enough and water would always flow out.
Zhao Shuisheng left his new kettle to her.
Yang Rui couldn't help but tighten her hands as she picked up the kettle.
Because Jiang Ning was still waiting outside the door, she didn't have time to think so much and immediately put the kettle on her back.
After checking everything, Jiang Ning said with relief, "Okay, let's go and meet up with Sister Xu."
…
The place Xu Muhua was going to this time was a village called "Shangquan Village" near the military camp.
In addition to Xu Muhua, the entire team also includes a new officer from the army's propaganda department, staff members from the cultural and educational section who are responsible for literacy work in two county towns.
There were four of them in total.
Together with Jiang Ning and Yang Rui, they formed a six-member team.
Xu Muhua introduced it to everyone.
"This is Jiang Ning, Comrade Jiang. Yang Rui, Comrade Yang. They are all military wives in the compound and they also want to contribute, so they are going to Shangquan Village with us today. When we set off later, remember to help each other."
The Propaganda Department’s secretary was called Li Yanxue, and he looked to be about 23 or 24 years old.
He has a gentle and handsome appearance and a polite temperament. He wears a white shirt and dark green military pants, and has an expensive camera hanging around his neck.
He doesn't look like a tough soldier, but rather exudes the bookish air of a scholar.
Li Yanxue saw that Jiang Ning and Yang Rui were both fair-skinned, good-looking, and looked like young girls.
He said politely and enthusiastically.
"So you're a military wife... Then you must be Captain Qin's lover. Hello, Comrade Jiang! Hello, Comrade Yang Rui!"
Jiang Ning was apparently somewhat famous in the military camp; even the propaganda officer knew her.
"Hello, Comrade Li."
"If you get tired or thirsty on the road, feel free to come to me. I will definitely take good care of the two female comrades."
Li Yanxue smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.
He originally meant well by saying this.
However, the deliberate emphasis on the word "lesbian" gives people a rather weird feeling.
Yang Rui frowned slightly.
Jiang Ning chuckled and replied in a calm tone.
"Comrade Li, don't worry. We both brought food and drinks. We can take care of ourselves along the way and will definitely not hold the team back."
After this reply, the atmosphere returned to normal.
After they greeted each other, they set off without stopping.
Li Yanxue took the lead and walked in front to lead the way, while the comrades from the Culture and Education Department walked behind to cover the rear.
Jiang Ning and Yang Rui walked in the middle.
Xu Muhua walked to Jiang Ning's side and whispered.
"This road is all mountainous, and we have to cross mountains and ridges. The road conditions are not very good. I know you look weak, but you have a strong character. But today is not the time to be strong. If you can't walk anymore, or if you have any problems, you must speak up and don't bear it by yourself."
"Sister Xu, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who would show off my strength. I won't let myself suffer."
"That's fine. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to General Qin. His granddaughter-in-law can't get into trouble around me."
Xu Muhua smiled heartily as he spoke.
Jiang Ning nodded and kept it all in mind.
This journey, just as Xu Muhua said, was not easy.
At first, they walked along the forest mountain road.
The road is winding but relatively flat, and the upward slope is not very high.
An hour later.
The group of six of them climbed over two hills.
Then, what appeared in front of them was a steep cliff.
The original mountain path suddenly turned into a series of stairs.
To call them steps is an exaggeration. Many of the places to step on are just small pieces of stone protruding from the cliff.
The space is so small that you can only step on half of your foot.
The whole body's strength is concentrated in such a small area.
Fortunately, there were ropes hanging from the top of the mountain on both sides, and I could grab them and pull them hard.
This scene was really shocking.
Jiang Ning had only seen such a dangerous environment in some poverty alleviation craft short films in his previous life.
But now, it appeared before her eyes alive.
Jiang Ning looked up at the mountain, still lamenting the harshness of nature, when Li Yanxue's voice came from the other side.
"Sister Xu, where is the road? Are you sure you want to go from here? Are we going the wrong way?"
"You're right. This is the only way to Shangquan Village. If you don't go this way, you have to go around from the other side, which will take at least 20 kilometers more."
Twenty kilometers, and it’s a mountain road. If you walk there, it will take at least two or three hours.
By the time they go back and forth, it might be night by the time they reach Shangquan Village.
Li Yanxue stood at the front, looking at the steep mountain road in front of him. His gentle and handsome face began to turn pale.
Xu Muhua also noticed his nervousness and comforted him.
"Secretary Li, this is your first time here, so it's normal to be afraid. But don't worry. I've walked this route seven or eight times, if not ten times. The rope is very safe, as long as you hold on tight, there will be no problem."
Li Yanxue's eyes trembled and he hesitated for a few minutes in panic.
at last……
He actually shook his head frantically.
"No, no! No! I...I...I'm afraid of heights! I can't walk in the front."
Li Yanxue began to retreat.
Xu Muhua still wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, he couldn't listen to anything.
Just when the situation was a little confusing.
Jiang Ning stood up.
She spoke in a clear and bold voice.
"I'm not afraid of heights, let me go first."
At that moment, it seemed as if a ray of light fell directly on Jiang Ning.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Jiang Ning.
I can't believe that such a young girl, who looks so fragile, can have such courage.
