"Comrade, it's your turn, Comrade Xiaobai?" The instructor of the field training stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Bai Yan, "Are you ready?"
Bai Yan came to her senses and found that Ruan Xiaohui had switched seats with someone and was now standing behind Bai Yan.
This is good, they can be alone together for a while.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Everything is being calculated.
She took a deep breath and encouraged herself secretly - don't worry, she will be fine.
After a few times, Bai Yan said to the chief instructor: "Comrade, I can set off now."
The instructor used a stopwatch to record the time of her departure.
Three minutes later, Ruan Xiaohui followed her and set off as well.
Bai Yan deliberately slowed down her pace to wait for Ruan Xiaohui.
...
...
Sure enough, in just ten minutes, Ruan Xiaohui had quickly caught up with her.
"Sister Bai Yan..." She called out timidly, just as she had when they first met, "Do you have any experience surviving in the wild?"
"No." Bai Yan answered calmly while observing the terrain.
Ruan Xiaohui said "Oh" as if unintentionally, "My hometown is in Henan. We also have mountains there. When I was a child, I often went to the mountains alone to pick mushrooms."
She paused and said, "I have learned how to start a fire with firewood in the kitchen these days. If you don't mind, can we go together?"
She was afraid that Bai Yan didn't like her now, so she started to play the kindness card, "Sister Bai Yan, I know a lot of mushrooms, and I can even light a fire and cook for you along the way."
"Oh? You can also recognize mushrooms?" Climbing a mountain is physically demanding, and the backpack on her back was considered a heavy load, so Bai Yan's little face was covered with sweat.
She wiped her forehead and looked back and forth.
Beiyan Mountain is quite large, but even so, because one person sets out every three minutes, there are still three or four team members around them at this time.
"I remember mushrooms usually grow in the shade, right? They can't grow next to a mountain trail that has been cleared by people?"
Ruan Xiaohui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, and it's best to pick mushrooms in the morning. When the sun shines at noon, the mushrooms will hide."
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the wild road in the distance, "Sister Bai Yan, why don't we go over there and pick some mushrooms first before walking back to the main road?"
Bai Yan looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the path was dark and deserted.
It really seems like a good place to kill and rob.
Is it that Ruan Xiaohui can no longer bear it, or is it that the person behind her can no longer bear it?
She straightened her back and smiled, "Okay."
…
Ruan Xiaohui didn't expect it would be so easy to trick Bai Yan into the wild path.
She tried her best to make her tone seem no different from usual, but the occasional tremor in her throat betrayed her.
But Bai Yan and she had their own thoughts, so she didn't expose the truth at this time.
The ecstasy of revenge filled Ruan Xiaohui's heart, making her ignore the flash of light in Bai Yan's eyes and the little movements of her hands.
What's more, she overlooked the fact that how could someone as shrewd as Bai Yan, who hated her, follow her into the depths of the deserted forest without any doubt?
"Sister Bai Yan, this is red mushroom, it's edible." Ruan Xiaohui panted, climbed a few steps higher, picked a mushroom and handed it to her, "It can be eaten raw."
Bai Yan looked at the small red mushroom she brought over, but did not reach out to take it.
The wild mushroom is red all over, but its red umbrella surface is covered with white spots.
"Sister Bai Yan, I often picked mushrooms in the mountains when I was a child. Believe me, this mushroom can really be eaten raw and tastes great."
There are trees in the mountains and forests, densely packed.
There was no sunshine today, and the sunlight was blocked by the trees, with the shadows of the trees casting on Ruan Xiaohui's face as she faced Bai Yan.
She opened and closed her mouth as she spoke, "Sister Bai Yan, why don't you reach out your hand?"
"Although I don't know as many types of mushrooms as you do, I still have some basic common sense. If this kind of mushroom with a red umbrella and white spots is edible, I can even write my name Bai Yan backwards."
Bai Yan moved her body, took off the backpack that she was carrying on her back, and placed it horizontally in front of herself and Ruan Xiaohui.
It's like building a line of defense, and also like reducing the burden on oneself.
"Sister Bai Yan, weren't we just chatting happily? How come you don't believe me anymore now?"
Ruan Xiaohui's expression began to become distorted. She tightly grasped the red toadstool in her hand, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "But you misunderstood me. I really want to do good for you."
She took a step forward, and with a whoosh, Bai Yan pulled out the shovel hanging on the camouflage bag and pointed the shovel tip at Ruan Xiaohui.
"Stop." Even though Bai Yan was mentally prepared, even though she was willing to take the risk and follow Ruan Xiaohui into the wild path to "fish".
Looking at Ruan Xiaohui's gradually approaching ferocious face, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't afraid.
Bai Yan gripped the shovel tightly to make her fingertips look less trembling.
She couldn't retreat now; the rats hiding in the gutter hadn't shown up yet.
She has to endure it!
"For my own good? For my own good, you would team up with others to kidnap me in the brigade? For my own good, you would betray my itinerary to Tan Hean? For my own good, you would want to set fire to me on New Year's Eve?"
Ruan Xiaohui paused.
Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that all her guesses were correct.
"How do you know?" Ruan Xiaohui was just as stupid as she had expected. Bai Yan only said this one sentence, and it was enough to get the truth out of her.
"Who told you this? Who else knows?" She was a little nervous. She held the mushrooms in both hands and looked around, but the only sound was the rustling of the wind blowing through the dead branches.
There is no second person.
Ruan Xiaohui calmed down. She laughed fiercely, "It seems that Teacher Bai is really smart. No matter who told you, you know it anyway."
Bai Yan stared at her quietly.
Based on my understanding of Ruan Xiaohui, as long as I give her some advice, she will naturally tell me the truth that she wants to know.
"Ruan Xiaohui, although I don't like you, I have never bullied you since we met, let alone have any deep hatred against you. Why do you keep targeting me?"
Ruan Xiaohui snorted but couldn't answer her question.
"What's the point of you knowing all this? Bai Yan, you're going to die!" She calmed herself down and put on a terrifying smile again. "But since you're going to die, in order to let you die with a clear mind, I can mercifully tell you why."
"Bai Yan, I hate you. I hate the way you always look condescending when you wear clothes that are too high. I hate that you are so lucky to get the attention of Brother Hechuan. I hate that you can speak English. I hate that you are prettier and taller than me."
Ruan Xiaohui said many "hate" in one breath as if she was venting her feelings.
