Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Upon entering the mountains, Xia An did not immediately change his appearance.

He continued deeper into the mountains and forests without stopping.

After a long time,

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned into the depths of the jungle, changed back into his original appearance, and left.

Next,

Today's activities are herb gathering and hunting; hopefully, we'll have a fruitful day.

……

at this time,

In Anpingtun,

Xie Weiguo has returned, and Kong Boyue hasn't gone to the fields either.

People from the commune have arrived.

It was someone I knew.

Assistant Wei and two young men in military uniforms drove a donkey cart slowly into Anping Village.

"Assistant Wei, what brings you here? Is there any new instruction?"

Xie Weiguo quickly stepped forward, offered cigarettes to the three of them, and asked with a smile.

Assistant Wei shook his head. "Don't be nervous. I'm here to guide these two."

Xie Weiguo was slightly surprised and looked at the two young men in military uniforms beside him.

The two saluted, and then said:

"Hello comrade, we are the garrison troops of Songyuan County, here on orders from our superiors."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo and his companion looked slightly tense. Why were there military personnel?

The young man in military uniform laughed:

"take it easy!"

"Our Songyuan Military Region commander intends to assist in the development of rural medical facilities and has selected your Anping Village. We've come here to deliver supplies."

"I will come here once a year from now on, but the duration is not yet determined."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo and Kong Boyue's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly said:

"Thank you very much, leaders of the military region. We've troubled you two to make this trip!"

"No trouble at all!" The two shook their heads. "We're all serving the people and fulfilling our military duties."

Xie Weiguo smiled and said, "Please come in and have a seat, gentlemen. Let us entertain you properly."

The two young men in military uniforms shook their heads. "No need. We'll deliver the goods and head back now. We can't afford to be late."

"This..." Xie Weiguo hesitated, "The three comrades have come from afar. If we don't entertain them, wouldn't that be impolite?"

The two shook their heads. "Comrades, please don't make things difficult for us. We have our own rules too."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo remembered the rules of the army and said nothing more.

After unloading their belongings in the Xie family's courtyard, Assistant Wei and his two companions prepared to leave.

At this time,

One of the young men in military uniform seemed to have thought of something, and turned around to give a word of advice:

"That sealed medical kit is for your village's barefoot doctor; let him open it himself."

Xie Weiguo and his companion's expressions tightened, and they understood what was happening. They quickly nodded.

"Don't worry, comrade, we understand."

The young man in military uniform nodded, said nothing more, turned around, and drove away.

Watching them leave,

Aunt Xiangyun asked in surprise, "Husband, this must be for Xia, the educated youth, right?"

"A teenager came by this morning, accompanied by two men in military uniforms."

"He's driving. Yun Shu said he was the person Xia Zhiqing rescued last time, so he seems to be someone important."

Xie Weiguo nodded. "In that case, it should be pretty close to the truth."

Luo Yunshu looked worried, and hesitantly added,

"That person said if Xia An wanted to leave, he could go to him, and he would find a way."

"Uncle Weiguo, Xia An won't leave, will he?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo and Kong Boyue exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of worry in their eyes.

But thinking about their previous guesses and their judgments over the past few days, the two felt a little more relaxed.

Kong Boyue smiled and said, "In the short term, Xia Zhiqing will not be leaving."

Kong Qingci nodded. "When they were doing acupuncture in the side room, I vaguely heard something..."

……

Xia An was unaware of their conversation and continued wandering in the mountains.

In the vast mountains, finding someone is very difficult.

Therefore, he did not look for Li Yuxue, but simply went about his own business.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west; nothing much happened in the first half of the morning.

Aside from some herbs, Xia An didn't have much to show for it, only managing to collect a dozen or so forest frogs.

He took out his watch and glanced at it; it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After a moment's thought, Xia An arrived at the edge of the woods north of Anping Village, near the educated youth settlement.

After walking around the area to make sure no one was around, I found an inconspicuous spot.

Here,

It's a little over three miles from the educated youth settlement, closer than other places, and there's a field ridge leading to it, making it a good transit point.

Moreover, the people of Anping Village can't see this place, making it suitable for him to temporarily store firewood.

We can find a few people to come and move it later, or he can come and move it himself.

It might even be easier if he comes to move it.

The main purpose is to make this place a transit point, so that it is less likely to arouse suspicion.

The location has been determined.

He found some vines and bundled up the thin branches and firewood in the space.

Immediately, they threw out over two hundred pounds of firewood and several bundles of firewood.

then,

He climbed the tree and used its branches and leaves to conceal himself.

After that, approximately every half hour,

After observing that no one was around, he went down and took out some firewood and firewood.

Soon after, he was leisurely leaning against a tree, taking a break and occasionally observing the situation around him.

Xia An was lucky; the afternoon passed quickly, but no one came over.

It was almost 6 p.m.

He sprinkled some water on himself, stimulated some acupoints, and pretended to sweat.

Immediately,

He carried a basket of firewood on his back, two bundles of firewood on his shoulder, and a medicine basket full of herbs at his waist.

They quickly walked out of the forest.

Near the construction site, someone quickly noticed him and couldn't help but laugh:

"Xia, the educated youth, is quite strong and a good worker."

"Not only does he have medical skills, but he also has such great strength. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to marry this outstanding young man?"

Everyone joked and laughed.

"Let's get to work."

Luo Shutong laughed and said, "There's not much work left, let's try to finish it today."

"Alright!"

Everyone nodded and went about their own business.

Soon, Xia An arrived at the makeshift stove in the corner of the courtyard, put down firewood and firewood,

"You're back so early today?"

Uncle Luo walked over and smiled,

Xia An dusted off his hands, took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from the bottom of the medicine basket, and offered them to Xia An.

"We were lucky; we found three decent wind-fallen trees, and spent most of the day before yesterday and yesterday chopping them down."

"Today's main task is to carry them back."

"To save time, I carried the rest of the firewood and tinder over there."

"It's just outside the mountains and forests over there. We can carry it back later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shutong was slightly surprised, then shook his head and chuckled.

"No wonder you weren't so disheveled when you came back the other day; you must be exhausted today."

Xia An smiled and said, "I am a little tired, but it's alright."

As he spoke, he glanced at the house next door and exclaimed in surprise:

"Is the roof now fully constructed?"

But whether it was their house or the clinic,

The roof has already been completed.

At this point, everyone was doing post-construction work on the house.

To be precise, the post-construction work on Xia An and her family's house has been completed.

At this moment, everyone was cleaning up the waste, mortar, and other garbage inside.

The building housing the health clinic is currently undergoing post-construction repairs.

"right!"

Luo Shutong smiled and nodded, "It'll be finished today, you can start heating the kang now."

As he spoke, he glanced at the courtyard wall.

"We've turned this area into a courtyard, and you'll need to build the inner walls between you and the other people yourself."

Xia An glanced around; the courtyard wasn't small, and the walls weren't low either.

But there was indeed no inner wall separating his house from the other four people's.

Uncle Luo laughed and said, "You can just build a fence to separate them yourself."

Then, he changed the subject.

"Of course, I heard you're cooking together, but it's okay if you don't."

"After all, there are many people here, so there won't be any problems even without an inner wall separating the two areas."

Xia An nodded, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Third Uncle."

After chatting with Uncle Luo for a few minutes, he got up to say goodbye and went into the village.
