At 4:30 the next morning, everyone got up one after another and prepared to gather.
Ruan Yi slept in the same tent with the only few girls in the team. They just washed up and then went to gather.
As soon as Ruan Yi arrived at the meeting point, he was called over by Jiang Wan.
The two of them had originally agreed to act together, so Ruan Yi walked up gracefully and chatted with Jiang Wan about today's arrangements.
We had already agreed yesterday that today's route would be all at Jiang Wan's discretion.
Ruan Yi didn't have any objections. As an inexperienced novice, following Jiang Wan was the best choice.
On the morning of October, the temperature in the mountains was a bit low. Ruan Yi put on a coat, carried a backpack, and walked in with Jiang Wan with a net in his hand.
Qingyan Mountain has not been over-exploited. The advantage is that it is sufficiently original and ecological, but the disadvantage is that the roads are not easy to walk.
The mountain road is winding and rugged, with almost no formed roads and steps, which is a great test for physical strength.
Although Ruan Yi wore hiking shoes, it was still a bit difficult to walk. Compared with the young and strong Jiang Wang, her speed was like a snail.
Jiang Wan quickly threw Ruan Yi away. After realizing that the person next to him was missing, Jiang Wan looked back at Ruan Yi and taunted her unceremoniously: "Your physical strength is too poor, right?"
Ruan Yi: "..."
It was hard for her to refute this, as she had never been the kind of person who liked sports.
Although Jiang Wan was laughing at her, he still showed mercy and stopped to wait for her.
This process was repeated several times. Ruan Yi felt that it was not suitable, so he suggested: "Why don't you go first and let's work separately. I will follow you and catch as many as possible. The rest is up to you." .”
Jiang Wan touched his chin, "Then you have to treat me to a few more meals, right?"
Ruan Yi: "No problem, come on."
Jiang Wan looked her up and down: "Then be careful. Some of the slopes here are very steep. If you fall, something will happen."
Ruan Yi: "Well, I will be careful."
Jiang Wang saw that Ruan Yi didn't seem like a careless and careless person, so he separated from him.
After Jiang Wang left, Ruan Yi stopped where he was and rested for a while before continuing.
I had never climbed a mountain before, so I thought it was too simple.
The sun gradually rose, and the temperature in the mountains increased. By noon, it was already a scorching sun.
Ruan Yi was sweating all over, and his coat was soaked through.
She stopped panting, took off her schoolbag, took off her coat, squatted on the ground and rested for a few minutes.
Maybe it was because he had been squatting for too long, and when he stood up too suddenly, Ruan Yi only felt that his vision went dark, and then the world was spinning——
Before her consciousness disappeared, she only remembered the intense feeling of weightlessness.
——
When I woke up again, the first thing that penetrated my nose was the familiar smell of disinfectant.
The scene in front of him was a bit blurry. Ruan Yi subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to rub his eyes, but he felt severe pain in his arm.
"You're finally awake!" She heard footsteps, followed by a hoarse exclamation of surprise.
Ruan Yi followed the sound and looked over, her vision gradually became clearer, and she saw Jiang Wan beside the bed.
Ruan Yi racked his brains to recall, but couldn't remember what happened next: "Why did I come to the hospital?"
"You have the nerve to ask me." Jiang Wan glared at her fiercely, "If I hadn't been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find it, so I went back and took a look. In a few days, a police officer would have gone to collect the body."
Ruan Yi originally thought his statement was a bit exaggerated, but after looking down at the injuries on his body, he felt that he was right.
Ruan Yi: "Where am I injured?"
Jiang Wan counted on his fingers: "The ankle is sprained, the calf muscle is strained, the left knee is scratched about half a meter, the arm is bloody and bloody... Oh, and maybe a little concussion."
After he finished speaking, he laughed angrily, "You didn't break any bones, so you are lucky."
Ruan Yi: "..."
Jiang Wan: "So how did you fall?"
Ruan Yi: "Maybe it's hypoglycemia."
She recounted to Jiang Wan what she had done before she fainted.
Jiang Wan thought she was outrageous: "You didn't bring the cookies I gave you before?"
Ruan Yi: "...I forgot."
Jiang Wan thought that she was indeed a rookie with no outdoor experience. Forget it, she was still weak.
"By the way, how long have I been sleeping? What time is it now?" Ruan Yi asked several questions in succession, the last one being the key point: "Then what...is the butterfly I caught still there?"
Although she was a noob, she still caught a few butterflies on the way. If I remember correctly, there should be four or five.
Jiang Wan was speechless: "You are almost disabled and still care about butterflies."
Ruan Yi: "This is very important to me."
Jiang Wan: "Don't worry, twenty-seven are just too many. I'll leave them with Old Liu first. I'll give them to you after you're discharged from the hospital."
Hearing Jiang Wan say this, Ruan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then sincerely thanked him: "Thank you."
Jiang Wan: "If your friend knew that you almost died trying to prepare a gift for him, he would probably be so grateful that he would pledge himself to you."
Ruan Yi forced out a smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to his words.
Jiang Wan glanced at Ruan Yi's ankles and calves, and sighed, "I originally expected you to be my tour guide and treat me to dinner, but now it's all gone. Instead, I'm taking care of you."
Ruan Yi: "I've caused you trouble. How about next time? I'll treat you when you come back next time."
Jiang Wan: "That's all we can do. Anyway, I have your WeChat account, so you can't run away."
He laughed and teased her, "You won't delete me, will you?"
Ruan Yi: "No."
Jiang Wan: "Okay, I don't think you are that kind of person either."
Jiang Wan joked with Ruan Yi for a while, and then called a doctor to examine Ruan Yi.
Ruan Yi's injuries were all traumatic, and a concussion has not been found yet. The doctor said she has low blood sugar and needs to pay attention to her diet.
It was nothing serious, and Ruan Yi didn't want to spend too much time in the hospital, so he planned to leave the hospital.
Ruan Yi followed Jiang Wan to Lao Liu to get the butterfly, but Jiang Wan left first because he had to catch the high-speed train back.
Ruan Yi took a taxi and returned to Qingjiang Garden with Butterfly.
The tools needed to make butterfly specimens had been prepared in advance. Ruan Yi didn't even care about his injuries. He simply collected his luggage when he got home and took the butterfly to the study upstairs.

Xu Siyan has not had the habit of celebrating birthdays since he became an adult.
Recently, he finished his work and flew to Berlin to see Jiang Mingzhu. When chatting with her, he remembered that his birthday was coming soon.
The day Xu Siyan returned to Beicheng from Berlin was October 20th.
After the flight landed and his phone was turned on, he received several unread messages from Ruan Yi.
Ruan Yi: [Are you busy? There is something I want to discuss with you. 】
Ruan Yi: [My parents said your birthday is coming soon. I promised them to celebrate your birthday. I wonder if you have time to go back to Qingjiang Garden for a meal on the 24th? 】
Maybe it was because he didn't reply. After more than half an hour, she sent another one.
[If you are very busy, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come back. 】
