At eight o'clock, Mo Shangjun arrived at the place agreed with Mu Qixuan on time.

She ran half the way, a little too fast, and then left, as if taking a rest, so that when she arrived, her strength was almost restored.

Within two minutes, a military jeep drove up the bumpy road and stopped in front of her.

Soon, the passenger door was opened, and a figure got down from it.

The first thing that catches the eye are black military boots, with camouflage fabric trousers on top. The legs are very long, and the hem is tied into the belt. The sleeves at the wrists are rolled up to the elbows, revealing strong muscles and small arms.

The lines are firm and smooth. After being exposed to the sun for many years at the beach, the skin is wheat-colored, but it looks more wild and textured.

Then, I saw that face.

Wearing a training hat, the brim of the hat covered his forehead, but everything below his eyebrows was exposed.

I haven't seen him in two years.

His eyes were less soft and warm, and more sharp and sharp. His facial features became more mature and tough. The soft light of the sun fell down and fell on his face. The deep outline of his face was dyed with golden light, and it was surprisingly soft.

, his eyebrows were dyed with a gentle smile, and the sharpness and softness were surprisingly harmonious.

He was carrying a military backpack, a tent and a sleeping bag, and the backpack was bulging.

Soon, I walked up to her.

"Little Slippery, do you want a hug?"

Opening his hand towards her, Mu Qixuan smiled and raised his eyebrows at Mo Shangyun, with a sense of familiarity between his eyebrows.

Mo Shangyun chuckled lightly, but did not really "hug" him.

The driver hadn't left yet, and those who didn't know it thought he was having a tryst with his lover here, which would be a bad news.

"Let's go."

Mo Shangjun waved his hand and took the lead.

The smile on Mu Qixuan's face did not diminish and he looked her over a few times.

He was dressed like a backpacker, with a jacket, military trousers, hiking shoes, and a backpack. He wore a wide-brimmed hat on his head. The clothes were loose and simple. The narrow and beautiful eyes under the brim were as bright and dark as ever, making it difficult to remove them.

Open your eyes.

Then, his eyes fell on the big rooster hanging on her backpack.

Damn it, hanging upside down without even the slightest struggle.

Mu Qixuan smiled and followed her.

"I didn't see wheel marks on the road. Did you walk here by yourself?" Mu Qixuan asked her.

This road seems to be unoccupied. It has been raining continuously in the past few days, and there is no cement paving here, so the road is muddy. Once the car drives by, there are no other traces except the wheel marks left by the jeep.

There is a series of footprints.

That's why Mu Qixuan guessed that Mo Shangyun came here on his own.

"Yeah." Mo Shangjun agreed.

Then, he told Mu Qixuan about the situation of going to Gu Rong's house, and even revealed to Mu Qixuan what he thought when he called his tutor.

After Mu Qixuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect that Mo Shangyun would be so responsible, because the injured soldier received unfair treatment, but he still wanted to prevent the soldier from suffering losses and get what he deserved.

"That will take a lot of effort." Mu Qixuan's tone was a little heavy.

"I guess."

Mo Shangyun shrugged.

However, there is no commitment made at the moment, so she does not need to feel any psychological burden.

To the extent that you can do it, try your best. Whether the result will be satisfactory or not is uncertain.

For an hour or two, the two of them had been talking about their respective armies or their experiences in leading troops. But two hours later, Mu Qixuan casually asked how far away Mo Shangyun was, and received an answer.

After that, Mu Qixuan became so wise that he stopped saying anything.

In two hours, they walked five to six kilometers per hour, but they only walked less than a third of the way.

The road behind could hardly be called a "road". No one walked on it all year round. Mo Shangjun and Mu Qixuan used their sabers to open the way, and then they could barely open a road for them to walk.

Therefore, the efficiency of advancement is greatly reduced.

Mo Shangjun estimated that it would take five or six hours, but in the end, due to various difficult terrain obstacles, it was delayed to seven hours.

Fortunately, neither of them were new recruits. They had passed the test in all aspects of their physical fitness. They were able to endure the seven-hour trek through the mountains and jungles without stopping, and there were no accidents. They successfully arrived at what Mo Shangyun wanted.

destination.

During the last part of the journey, the two walked along a waterway, and their shoes and trousers were wet by the cold stream water. After a while, they became as cold as ice.

Fortunately, it's here.

"That's it."

Mo Shangyun's four simple and clear words marked the end of their trip.

Mu Qixuan looked up, a little surprised.

In the upper reaches of the creek, there is a pool, nearly 20 meters deep and about 30 meters in diameter. It is naturally formed. Looking at it, it is a green color. At a glance, there are even fish swimming at the bottom of the pool. There is a stream.

It fell from the upper right side of the pool and was twelve or thirteen meters high, forming a small waterfall.

Directly above the water pool, there is a century-old tree growing. The trunk is curved and growing diagonally. Nearly half of it is suspended above the water pool. The branches spread in all directions and the leaves are dense. It is spring, and the tender green leaves are emerging.

It stands out from the deep green and forms an embellishment.

Next to the century-old tree, there was a flat open space with a few sparse trees and green weeds growing there. It was twenty meters long and ten meters wide, which was just right for them to camp.

Further up the open space is a hillside with bamboos growing upright, enough to form a small bamboo forest. There are probably many bamboo shoots that have just sprouted near the bamboos.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through mountains and rivers and seeing countless dense jungles, he would see such beautiful scenery. Mu Qixuan was somewhat surprised.

"Been here?" Mu Qixuan asked Mo Shangjun curiously.

Obviously, Mo Shangyun had a clear purpose. He knew the specific location, the exact direction, and even the distance.

"Um."

Mo Shangyun nodded.

Then, he left the lower reaches of the creek, bypassed the pool, and walked toward the open space above.

Mu Qixuan followed closely behind.

"When did you come?"

Mo Shangyun thought for a moment and replied: "Before the college entrance examination."

Mu Qixuan was stunned and said with a smile: "It's been four or five years, thank you for still remembering the way."

Mo Shangjun shrugged.

It had been exactly five years, but she couldn't remember the road, only the general direction, and she got here completely by feeling her way.

She didn't tell Mu Qi

That's why it was not discovered.

The two came to the flat ground and assigned work to each other.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them only had breakfast. They had basically been on the road for nine hours, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. It was time to prepare lunch.

As for the tent, there is no need to worry yet.

Mo Shangjun prepared two dishes, one was beggar's chicken and the other was bamboo tube rice.

She specifically asked the cooking team leader for the steps for these two dishes. She told Mu Qixuan the steps for bamboo tube rice, then handed over the task of bamboo tube rice to Mu Qixuan, and received the beggar's chicken herself.

Task.

When Mu Qi

While the water was boiling, she went to the river to wash the lotus leaves, ginger, onion, garlic and other seasonings. She also killed the rooster with a saber and drained all the blood from the chicken.

After coming back, I scalded the chicken feathers with hot water and pulled them clean.

She dug a hole and buried the chicken feathers, chicken head, chicken feet, chicken internal organs, etc. in the ground. After taking care of these trivial matters, she put the seasonings and other ingredients into the chicken's belly.

Wrap a layer of lotus leaves, wrap a layer of tin foil, wrap another layer of lotus leaves, tie and fix it with string, make sure it won't loosen, then wrap the outermost layer with loess, and it's basically formed.

At that time, Mu Qixuan had also prepared bamboo tube rice. All he had to do was put the bamboo tube on the bonfire and bake it.

"Well done and worthy of encouragement."

Mu Qixuan came back carrying five bamboo tubes. When he saw that Mo Shangyun had made a model of the beggar's chicken, he couldn't help but praise it.

"Each other."

Mo Shangjun replied without raising his head.

Mu Qi
