Early in the morning.
Yang Rui changed her clothes from the house and walked around in front of Jiang Ning.
She asked happily with a smile on her face and a somewhat excited expression.
"Aning, is this okay with me?"
The same thing is going out for a walk in the mountains.
Yang Rui's dress this time was completely different from when she climbed the mountain to pick mushrooms.
The beautiful long hair is neatly tied into a neat braid.
The clothes on my body were also changed into old clothes that I usually wear, so I don't have to worry even if they get stained or scratched by branches.
The shoes on my feet are the most comfortable cloth-soled shoes.
No matter how long you walk on the mountain road, you will not feel tired.
Yang Rui also followed Jiang Ning's instructions and borrowed a straw hat from the sister-in-law next door and hung it around her neck.
Everything is packed 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. You can drink some cold water and bring it with you so that you can eat it on the way. There are also steamed buns and steamed buns. Have you brought them?"
"I brought it! It's all in my backpack. I just forgot the water bottle. I'll go back and get it right now."
Yang Rui hurriedly turned around and went back to the house to get the kettle.
Jiang Ning warned her from behind.
"Take your time, we can't make it."
Once inside.
Yang Rui found that the kettle originally hung on the kitchen wall was placed in a very conspicuous position.
The old kettle that had been used for many years was transformed into a shiny new kettle.
The only people living in this house were Yang Rui and Zhao Shuisheng.
Since it wasn't Yang Rui who did it, it could only be Zhao Shuisheng.
The lid of the old kettle was somewhat damaged. Every time I closed the lid, I couldn't tighten it tightly, and water would always flow out.
Zhao Shuisheng left his new kettle to her.
Yang Rui picked up the kettle and tightened her hand.
Because Jiang Ning was still waiting outside the door, she didn't have time to think too much and immediately put the kettle on her back.
After some inspection, Jiang Ning said with peace of mind: "Okay, let's set off to meet Sister Xu."
…
The bottom Xu Muhua is going to this time is 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 in charge of literacy work in two counties, and staff from the cultural and educational departments.
There were four of them.
Together with Jiang Ning and Yang Rui, a six-person team was formed.
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 want to do their part, so they are going to Shangquan Village with us today. We will be on the road later. Please remember each other. Help me a little."
The director of the Propaganda Department is called Li Yanxue, who is about 23 or 24 years old.
He has a handsome appearance and a polite temperament. He wears a white shirt with dark green military trousers, and an expensive camera hanging around his neck.
The whole person does not look like a tough soldier, but is filled with the bookish atmosphere of a scholar.
Li Yanxue saw that Jiang Ning and Yang Rui were both fair and good-looking, and looked like young girls at their age.
He said politely and enthusiastically.
"It turns out she's the military wife... Then you must be Commander Qin's lover. Hello, Comrade Jiang! Hello, Comrade Yang Rui!"
Jiang Ning is obviously well-known in the military camp, and even the propaganda officer knows about her.
"Hello, Comrade Li."
"If you feel tired and thirsty on the road, just come to me. I will take good care of the two lesbians."
Li Yanxue smiled, showing his white teeth.
What he said was originally well intentioned.
But 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 drink. We can also take care of ourselves along the way and we will definitely not hold back the team."
After saying this, the atmosphere returned to normal.
The few people greeted each other and set off without stopping.
Li Yanxue took the lead and led the way, while the comrades from the Department of Liberal Arts and Education walked behind.
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 it goes over mountains and ridges, and the road conditions are not very good. I know you look weak, but you have to have a strong personality. But today is not the time to be strong. If you can't walk or have any problems, You must speak up and don’t hold back on yourself.”
"Sister Xu, don't worry, I'm not a pushy person, and I won't let myself suffer."
"That's fine. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Old Army Commander Qin, and his granddaughter-in-law can't have anything happen to me."
Xu Muhua smiled heartily as he spoke.
Jiang Ning nodded, remembering everything in his heart.
This journey, just like Xu Muhua said, was not easy.
At first, they took a forested mountain road.
The road is winding, but fairly smooth, and the upward slope is not very high.
after an hour.
A group of six of them climbed two mountains.
Then, what appeared in front of them was a cliff.
The original mountain path suddenly turned into steps.
The steps are nice to say, but many of the places to step down are just small rocks protruding from the cliff.
In such a small position, you can only step on half of your foot.
All the strength of the whole body is concentrated in such a small place.
Fortunately, there are ropes hanging from the top of the mountain on both sides, and I can still hold them in my hands and pull hard.
This scene shocked people.
Jiang Ning had only seen such a difficult and dangerous environment in some poverty alleviation craft short films in his previous life.
Now, it appeared before her eyes alive.
Jiang Ning looked up at the mountain peak, still lamenting the severity of nature, when Li Yanxue's voice came from the other side.
"Sister Xu, where is the road here? Are you sure you are going from here? Did we go the wrong way?"
"You're right. This is the only way to Shangquan Village. If you don't go here, you have to go around from the other side. It will take at least twenty kilometers more."
It's twenty kilometers and it's a mountainous road. According to walking, it will take at least two or three hours.
Come and go, by the time they arrive at Shangquan Village, it might be night.
Li Yanxue stood at the front, looking at the steep mountain road in front of him. His elegant and handsome face began to turn pale slightly.
Xu Muhua also noticed his nervousness and comforted him.
"Director Li, it's your first time here, so it's normal to be scared. But don't worry. I've walked this road not ten times, but seven or eight times. The rope is very safe, as long as you hold on tight, you'll be fine. "
Li Yanxue's eyes trembled and he hesitated for several minutes.
at last……
He actually shook his head crazily.
"No, no! No! I...I...I'm afraid of heights! I can't go to 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 things got a little confusing.
Jiang Ning stood up.
She said in a clear and sassy 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's body.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Jiang Ning.
I can't believe that such a young girl, who looks so delicate and weak, has such courage.
