Especially in such barren mountains and wild ridges.
Yu Ruanruan wore thick snow boots and hunched over her classmates, trying to make as little noise as possible.
As soon as she left the tent, in the darkness, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.
She was so frightened that she screamed.
"Shh, don't be afraid, it's me."
The young man's clear voice sounded, and through the moonlight, Yu Ruanruan saw clearly that the person behind him was Fu Chuan.
"Why are you out so late?" Fu Chuan asked worriedly.
Yu Ruoruan lowered her voice and said, "Gu Yan and the others sneaked out to catch hares, I'm worried."
Fu Chuan frowned, "In such a barren mountain, any wild animal may be in danger. Have you brought any self-defense tools?"
Yu Ruanruan took out a multi-functional self-defense flashlight from her pocket.
The eldest brother put this into her backpack last night. Before going out in the morning, the eldest brother showed her how to use this thing many times.
There are two buttons. Press one to turn on the flashlight, and press the other to pop up an electric shock stick. Press it again and the stick will automatically shrink and return to its original shape.
It's easy for thieves to get started.
Yu Ruoruan demonstrated it to Fu Chuan.
Fu Chuan said, "Then I will go with you."
After all, the night was dark and the wind was high, and Gu Yan and the others were far away again. It would be good to have someone to accompany them to encourage them.
Yu Ruanruan did not refuse.
I went to that area during training during the day. Although I couldn't see the road clearly at night, I still had some impressions.
Yu Ruanruan and Fu Chuan hadn't gone far when they heard Gu Yan and his group shouting.
"Oops! Something hit my leg, it was a rabbit!"
"Quick, catch it! Don't let it escape!"
"Gu Yan, don't pull my clothes! I caught you! Ouch! It hurts! Damn it, what the hell is this?"
When Yu Ruoruan and Fu Chuan arrived, they saw Zhao Zijia howling like a ghost. There was a burr ball stuck in his glove. He shook it desperately several times before throwing the thing to the ground.
Yu Ruoruan shined a flashlight, and under the white light, a small creature covered with barbs curled up into a ball and was shivering.
It's a little hedgehog.
Zhao Zijia took off his gloves and found that his finger was pricked and bleeding.
He cried sadly and complained to Gu Yan, "It's all your fault! Why are you yelling about nothing! Where is this rabbit? Your rabbit has thorns on its body?"
Gu Yan felt a little guilty. When she saw Yu Ruanruan coming, she immediately hid behind Yu Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, why are you here?"
"I don't worry about you." Yu Ruuan held her forehead softly, "Be quiet and don't attract the instructor. Zhao Zijia's hand must be dealt with quickly."
Fortunately, she brought a first aid kit with her when she came out. She simply disinfected Zhao Zijia and put a band-aid on it.
She said with a serious face, "I've been crazy and wild, and I've lost my glory. Now do I feel comfortable? Can I go back?"
Gu Yan was reluctant, "But we almost caught a rabbit just now. Ruanruan, we have all come out, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't catch one and take it back?"
She winked at Zhao Zijia desperately.
Zhao Zijia didn't pay attention to her. His eyes fell on the glacial lake embankment not far away. He suddenly pointed at the shadowy tree branch and said, "Look, there seems to be someone there!"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of his finger.
I saw a shadow sitting next to the frozen river bank, fishing at night.
Because he sat there without moving, and everyone was busy looking for hares in the hay, they didn't even notice him.
Yu Ruoruan was slightly startled. The moonlight was bright and her vision was not clear.
But she felt that figure was very familiar.
At this time, the figure over there moved slightly and slowly stood up from the pony.
The slim and straight figure was elongated in silhouette by the moonlight.
At this time, someone's flashlight shone in, and the light reflected off the lake surface, illuminating the surrounding area even brighter.
The man lowered his eyes and put away his fishing rod. The cold lines on his facial features and face were clearly discernible.
After seeing clearly who was coming, everyone screamed in fright and dispersed, "Fuck! It's Instructor Huo! Run!"
Zhao Zijia picked up Gu Yan and ran away, while the others fled in all directions.
Only Yu Ruanruan was stunned on the spot, and Fu Chuan was still with her.
He put his hand on the girl's shoulders and urged, "Ruanruan, let's go back quickly. Instructor Huo has discovered us."
Only then did Yu Ruoruan come to her senses and turned to leave.
"stop!"
A cold and magnetic voice came from behind.
Huo Xu held fishing gear in his hand and looked gloomy.
The night is dim and the lack of vision magnifies other senses.
Yu Ruanruan heard the north wind blowing, and the haystacks behind her were being stepped on, making a "squeaking" and "squeaking" sound, and the powerful magnetic field belonging to men was approaching her.
She forced herself to stop calmly, and instead of escaping, she said hello to Huo Xu, "Instructor Huo, we came out to find our classmates, and we are going back now."
She didn't do anything wrong in the first place, she only followed Yan and the others out of concern for their safety, so there was no need to feel guilty.
Huo Xu did not look at her, his eyes fell on Fu Chuan's hand holding Yu Ruanruan's arm, his eyes were a little gloomy.
His jaw muscles tightened and he pursed his lips, wondering what he was thinking.
For a moment, in the deserted forest, there were only the breathing of three people and the rustling of wind and grass.
Just when Yu Ruanruan felt that Huo Xu might use his power to punish and teach her a lesson, the man finally snorted softly, "Well, let's go back together."
Yu Ruanruan was stunned.
He didn't preach?
During the day, the commander-in-chief of the camp gave repeated orders, asking everyone to abide by discipline and not leave the camp without permission. He also made the forest look like it was about to eat people, and the consequences would be very serious.
She thought that if Huo Xu found out that she had sneaked out, he would at least severely criticize her.
As a result, he had no reaction.
The three of them walked silently towards the camp.
Fu Chuan and Yu Ruanruan walked side by side in front, while Huo Xu followed Yu Ruanruan neither far nor close.
Although the night was dark and the flashlight's light was weak, his presence still strongly invaded every inch of skin cells on Yu Ruanruan's back.
Who knows that feeling like a ray of light on your back?
Yu Ruanruan just wanted to return to the camp as soon as possible and stay away from this guy as soon as possible.
The road is overgrown with thorns, and the walkable path is very narrow.
At this time, there was a movement not far away, and someone came over.
Yu Ruoruan thought it was Gu Yan and the others, or an instructor from the winter camp, but she soon discovered that was not the case. What came her way was a slovenly, unkempt middle-aged man.
The man was holding a little girl of seven or eight years old in his hand. It was freezing cold, and the thorns and bushes on the road were growing so fast that the little girl was almost buried.
The man walked in a hurry and took long strides.
The little one was pulled by him, stumbling and staggering all the way, and tripped several times. The man took her little arm and pulled her up directly, regardless of whether she was uncomfortable or not.
It seemed that he was wary of Yu Ruanruan and the three of them. As they passed each other, the man suddenly picked up the little guy, quickened his pace, and quickly turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Yu Ruoruan's footsteps suddenly stopped, her expression serious.
She grabbed Fu Chuan beside her and lowered her voice, "Let's not go back yet. Follow the man just now."
Fu Chuan was stunned and said in surprise, "What's wrong? What happened?"
