Chapter 1262 The Young Lady’s Choice (7)
Even if he didn't look back, Yao Anlan knew that Duan Xingran would definitely come back to find him.
really
"An Lan, how are you? What happened!" Duan Xingran had just taken a few steps when he heard the other party's voice and rushed back without thinking.
Yao Anlan grabbed the other person's hand and pointed at the bushes tremblingly: "Xingran, there's a snake in there!"
Looking in the direction of her finger, Duan Xingran indeed saw something wriggling inside.
Although he is a grown man, he grew up in the city and is afraid of snakes from the bottom of his heart.
After swallowing, Duan Xingran took a stick from the side and carefully pushed aside the grass.
Sure enough, I saw a small snake inside.
While the two were hesitating, other villagers nearby had apparently seen what was happening. "What are you hiding from? It's just an ordinary grass snake, not poisonous! What a fuss!"
Duan Xingran and Yao Anlan looked at each other awkwardly, then turned away.
"Don't waste time there. Have you finished checking here?" It was the same villager from before. He looked at the two people whose faces turned pale with fear because of a small snake with some disgust. "Since you are so scared, move faster.
In addition to snakes, there are also wolves and other ferocious beasts on our mountain. There are too many people now, so we dare not go out. It will be dangerous if we are left alone."
"Xingran, Chu Zhiqing has other people over there anyway, and she doesn't have to work because of her leg injury." Yao Anlan grabbed the hesitant Duan Xingran and said, "How about we finish the work at hand first, and then you can go find her! I really don't want to be alone."
The pitiful tone finally softened Duan Xingran's heart.
"Okay! Let's get started!" After saying this, Duan Xingran began to check the surrounding situation with Yao Anlan again.
After that, the two continued with the work at hand. Looking at Duan Xingran who was less than a few feet away from him, a hint of pride flashed in Yao Anlan's lowered eyes.
No matter what, I won this round, so what if we have known each other since childhood.
Yao Anlan knew very well that Duan Xingran was a soft-hearted person who liked to be a hero, while Chu Mingyue was a person who liked to be self-reliant in everything.
Therefore, it is not difficult to get involved between the two of them. Sometimes, if you use retreat as a means of advance well, the effect can be quite good.
As the sky grew darker, the mountain wind gradually grew stronger.
When the wind blew, the originally strong smell of burning was dissipated a lot, and many places where sparks were hidden that were originally difficult to find were also turned over.
The team that was checking the mountain was busy, but no one would leave their companions too far away.
In this way, everyone worked for another hour and finally dealt with all the problems that might cause a fire.
Village Chief Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally announced what everyone wanted to hear most: "It's almost time, everyone, let's go down the mountain! The patrol team will leave a few more people to guard the mountain for one more night, and the rest of us will return to the village together."
Everyone cheered a few times, then gathered the team and followed them down the mountain one after another.
However, Feng Yuan soon discovered that Yu Hanshang, who had stayed on the mountain on duty, also followed everyone down the mountain.
He was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked over to Yu Hanshang and whispered, "Xiao Yu, aren't you staying on the mountain this time? I'm afraid those few people alone won't be able to handle any emergencies."
Yu Hanshang said nothing. He glanced at Chu Mingyue, who was limping in the middle of the group, and then explained, "I'm going to go back and get some things before going up the mountain. With the fire burning, it might be even more unsafe at night.
I'm going back to get those machetes and tinderboxes. The mountain wind has just started, and it should be cold tonight, so I plan to spend the night with the militia in the mountain cabin we were in earlier. As for duty, we can just take turns, after all, we're all tired all day."
"You make sense!" Feng Yuan nodded, and he also thought Yu Hanshang's idea was good. "After all, you are familiar with the affairs of this mountain forest. I can't think of these things."
Facing the praise from the village chief, Yu Hanshang waved his hand nonchalantly. Just when he was about to say something humble, he saw the person walking in the middle of the team was "bumped" by someone walking quickly. In addition, the bamboo stick in his hand hit the mud, so his body tilted and he seemed to be about to fall.
Yu Hanshang sprinted over again and supported Chu Mingyue.
Even Cao Chunhua, who was standing next to Chu Mingyue, couldn't match his speed.
"Are you okay?" Yu Hanshang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. "Your foot can only walk temporarily, but if you get hurt like this again, it's very likely to become a habitual sprain, which will cause you a lot of trouble in the future."
Hearing this, Yao Anlan muttered, "How can there be such a disease? She's made of clay! She can't even be touched."
"I don't need to explain why Chu Zhiqing's foot was injured before! After all, you were there!" Yu Hanshang turned to Yao Anlan, his tone stern, "If someone else bumped into her, it might have been accidental, but you did it on purpose!"
