The night is getting darker and darker, and bright searchlights have been lit up at the ski resort and ice lake.
Li Yifeng led three small hunting teams, starting in front of the villa, passing by the ski resort and the ice lake, and entering the valley forest area.
Wang Xinmai doesn't like snow, but hunting is obviously not his thing. Hunting requires climbing mountains, keeping up with the team, and not talking very loudly. Compared with this, he would rather stay at the ski resort or the bonfire in the ice lake.
In front of the tent, as long as Cao Cheng takes action, he will not be hungry. But he was the one who proposed the group competition, and now he can only follow Cao Cheng with a grimace, struggling in the knee-deep snow.
Trekking in the fields.
The expression on Cao Cheng's face became much more relaxed. In a place with few people, he could actually be more relaxed.
Ling Dingyi and Li Yifeng walked side by side. They were walking in front of the wind and snow, talking consciously or unconsciously as they walked.
Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu walked at the end of the team. Lin Wanyu could keep up with the speed of the team, but Luo Ye walked very leisurely and completely carelessly, with no sense of urgency to snatch the prey. Lin Wanyu could only slow down.
, followed Luo Ye without saying a word.
When passing the glacial lake, the hunting party stopped for a while.
Dozens of blazing bonfires illuminated the entire glacier lake red. There were several camping tents pitched in front of each fire, each tent large enough to accommodate eight people.
Li Yifeng chose a tent near the edge of the valley, "This way we can roast the prey after leaving the hunting ground. The premise is that each of our groups can catch the prey." He threw a log of pine wood into the campfire, and the flames glowed slightly.
The roaring sound, greedily licking the tongue of fire upwards.
Wang Xinmai sat down on the canvas folding chair and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before entering the mountain, his physical strength was already stretched thin.
Li Yifeng smiled and said: "Maizi, you are wearing too much. The clothes on your body probably weigh ten kilograms. There is almost no way to walk after entering the mountain. You will definitely hold Cao Cheng back."
Cao Cheng looked at Wang Xinmai and said, "If not, just stay here and watch the tent."
Wang Xinmai suddenly became angry, "The tent can't run. Brother Luo and Miss Lin are the ones walking at the back of the team. How come I'm holding them back? At worst, I just take off a few cumbersome clothes."
While several people were joking, Luo Ye walked to the side of the tent alone, lowered his head and kicked the snow with his feet.
Lin Wanyu crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Do you regret using a knife to hunt?"
Luo Ye continued to kick the snow and replied without raising his head: "You are the one who should regret it the most?"
Lin Wanyu sighed, half annoyed and half giving up. "It's okay if you don't eat. After all, we are a whole body. I don't want to... be separated from you."
Luo Ye suddenly stopped moving. He saw several red and blue wires that had been deliberately buried. No wonder the snow was so unnatural. It turned out to be... Luo Ye looked around and found that almost every tent
There are signs of renovating the snow everywhere, especially the large tent in the middle of the ice lake that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. There are such signs all around.
At the same time, Luo Ye noticed that the party truck had not left, and the three workers were looking around with solemn expressions——
Seeing that Luo Ye ignored her, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Hey, are you listening?"
Luo Ye calmly buried the wire again with his feet, and said to Lin Wanyu with a serious face: "Promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lin Wanyu asked rather strangely.
"Always follow me."
"Am I just following you?" Lin Wanyu bit her lip.
Not far away, Wang Xinmai had already changed his clothes, and Li Yifeng called them to set off...
Luo Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist, shook her hard, and lowered his voice and said: "If you get separated, just find a sheltered place and wait for me. Don't go back alone without me."
Bonfire Camp.”
Lin Wanyu had so many questions in her mind that she didn't know which one to ask first. She just looked at Luo Ye in confusion.
Luo Ye did not explain, but said with unquestionable emphasis: "Repeat what I said."
Lin Wanyu moistened her lips subconsciously, "I have been following you. If you get separated, I will never go back to the bonfire camp alone."
In the distance, Li Yifeng and others were urging loudly.
Luo Ye still held Lin Wanyu's arm and corrected him: "You can't go back with them, you have to wait for me."
"You're so weird. What happened?"
"promise me!"
Lin Wanyu had never seen Luo Ye look so serious before. She took a breath of air and nodded slowly, "I promise you."
"Very good." A relaxed smile appeared on Luo Ye's face, "Let's go, the hunting has begun." After saying that, he turned and walked towards Li Yifeng.
Although Lin Wanyu didn't know what the conversation with Luo Ye meant, it was a pleasure to find that she could make Luo Ye smile. As for getting separated, she didn't even think about it.
Li Yifeng had a GPS positioning pin in his pocket. Every time he walked ten meters through the woods, he would swing the glowing red positioning pin the size of a thumbtack onto the tree trunk. Following the positioning pin, it would be difficult to get lost.
Moreover, Lin Wanyu's jacket also has a positioning device, which can be displayed directly on Li Yifeng's handheld device. With such a sophisticated positioning device protecting her, she really doesn't understand what Luo Ye is worried about - maybe he is just worried about not being able to eat dinner.
And making excuses? No, that's not who he is.
The hunting team walked farther and farther, gradually entering the depths of the mountain forest.
Night is not the best time for hunting. Coupled with the endless wind and snow, most animals have hidden themselves, which makes hunting more difficult.
Li Yifeng was not too worried. He was very familiar with the terrain of Nanshan Forest and walked at the front with confidence.
Ling Dingyi was right next to him, and he didn't show any signs of difficulty. He was sent to the most remote grassroots level for training, and he walked on a mountain road that was more steep than Nanshan. After walking for half an hour, he didn't even feel energetic.
Breathing.
Wang Xinmai and Lin Wanyu, who were in the team, were a little overwhelmed. They usually had enough physical strength to climb the mountain road for half an hour, but when walking against the wind in this dark snowy sky, every joint in the body began to get sore.
.
Wang Xinmai gritted his teeth and persisted, trying not to be looked down upon by others.
Lin Wanyu didn't eat much at noon. She only took a few bites of a piece of barbecue and it went into Luo Ye's stomach. Now her stomach was growling and she began to regret why she didn't eat more.
Luo Ye walked at the end of the team, stepping on the footsteps of the previous people without saying a word. When Lin Wanyu walked slowly, he walked slowly, and when Lin Wanyu walked quickly, he followed suit. He always kept a distance from Lin Wanyu.
Even though the two of them have fallen more than ten meters behind the entire team.
Li Yifeng saw that Lin Wanyu was a little exhausted, so he deliberately slowed down and started chatting with Ling Dingyi. "Brother Dingyi, you left without saying hello half a year ago, and you came back without saying hello half a year later, and as soon as you came back, you
I was really flattered to show up at my party."
Ling Dingyi understood that Li Yifeng wanted to test him, so he smiled softly, "Brother Yifeng's Nanshan Manor has been built so well, and the party is so influential, of course I want to participate. Why, brother Yifeng won't
Do you blame me for coming uninvited?" A polite remark cleverly avoided Li Yifeng's temptation...
"How could it be?" Li Yifeng said with a smile: "I wish that brother Ding Yi would live in Nanshan Manor every day, so that my real estate company would have the green light all the way." This sentence was a beautiful edge ball, with both joking and humor.
The teasing tone also highlighted the relationship between himself and Ling Dingyi.
Ling Dingyi held on to the tree trunk and took a breath, "I really want to live in Nanshan Manor and live a free and easy life like Brother Yifeng for a few days-"
"What? The life at the grassroots level is not free and easy?" Li Yifeng knew the consultant clearly. It stands to reason that the officials who are sent to the grassroots for training will be treated very well, because local officials know that the "trained" officials will be promoted at any time, so they will try their best to curry favor.
In the future, there will be one more path in the officialdom. The local officials are the local emperors, and the officials sent down are the living bodhisattvas that the local emperors must support. Even if the living conditions at the grassroots level are not as good as those in the bustling cities, the supreme privileges alone are enough to make people linger - officialdom
That's it. Often the higher you go, the more you have to be careful. The greater your power seems to be, the smaller you can actually use it. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Ling Dingyi's mouth, "What a pity. After half a year of walking, I have to return to Jinghua City in the end."
Li Yifeng was startled, and the positioning needle in his hand stopped in mid-air, "You have been transferred back?" This is nothing less than explosive news. He was transferred back after half a year. This kind of fast pace is enviable. "Transferred back.
Where is it?"
Ling Dingyi continued to walk forward and said lightly: "It's right here."
"Here?!" Li Yifeng asked half-jokingly: "Nanshan Manor?" Even though it was in a joking tone, even he could hear the surprise in his heart. He knew what Ling Dingyi's "here" meant.
It's just that the news came too suddenly, making it difficult for him to adapt.
"Jinghua City." Ling Dingyi's calm voice was almost drowned in the wind and snow. "Next week, I will be transferred back to Jinghua City to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee."
"Congratulations!" Li Yifeng tried hard to conceal the shock and uneasiness in his heart. He was directly promoted from the secretary of the municipal party committee in a remote mountainous area to the standing committee member of the capital municipality. This kind of promotion may only be achieved by a big family like the Ling family. Li Yifeng was in a state of silence.
What is unsettling is that Ling Dingyi came to his Nanshan Manor before he was officially transferred. It was definitely not as simple as having fun.
"I am reluctant to leave the mountainous area where I have lived for half a year." Ling Dingyi said as he walked; "Before I am transferred, I want to prepare some donations to help the children in the mountainous area."
Li Yifeng couldn't help but relax his shoulders. "So that's it. This is easy to handle. I'll ask my assistant to send a check tomorrow." Knowing the purpose, Li Yifeng felt relieved.
Ling Dingyi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Yifeng, "I'm not here to ask you for money."
Li Yifeng was quite confused, "Didn't you say you came here to collect donations?"
"What I want is the list of people attending this party," Ling Dingyi said with a smile: "The blood of the common people has fed them, but they don't know how to feed back. I will go to them one by one according to the VIP list to ask for donations."
Li Yifeng took a breath without concealing it. Ling Dingyi's doing this is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire official and business class in Jinghua City. With his calm personality and family background, there is actually no need to do this——
When he was about to say something, Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu had already followed him.
Luo Ye had a sharp-edged smile on his face, "Xiao Feng, the wind and snow are too strong, you have to lead the way."
