Hearing Xia Ming's (An's) sarcasm, Wei Ningbing remained calm.

"Where are the things?"

Xia An shrugged slightly. "It's in my pocket. Are you going to take it out yourself, or should I take it out?"

Wei Ningbing frowned slightly. "Take it out. I advise you not to try anything funny."

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're such a fickle woman. You told me to deliver it before, but now you want me to hand it over."

"If I had known it was a farmer and a snake situation, why would I have bothered to save you?"

Wei Ningbing frowned slightly and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the things first."

Judging from the current situation, she should be safe in this place for the time being.

Although she didn't know how this person saved her, she felt she was able to move again.

Such important intelligence naturally needs to be delivered back personally.

Moreover, something about this person is off.

Xia An extended two fingers and pulled the film roll out of his pocket.

Wei Ningbing's face lit up slightly. "Throw it over here. Don't try anything funny!"

Xia An shook her head slightly. "What tricks can I pull when a gun is pointed at me?"

As he spoke, he threw the roll of film over.

Wei Ningbing reached out to catch it, but Xia An suddenly shook her hand away again.

A pebble flew out and hit her wrist, causing the pistol to fall from her hand.

Wei Ningbing's expression changed drastically, and she was about to make a move...

But Xia An moved with lightning speed, quickly taking the hunting rifle off his back and pointing it at her, coldly saying:

"Don't move!"

Wei Ningbing's face stiffened, she glanced coldly at Xia An, and leaned against the wooden wall.

Xia An stepped forward, picked up the pistol, and smiled knowingly with a slight smirk:

"You're already injured, what are you doing playing with guns?"

Wei Ningbing's expression was cold, and she remained silent.

Xia An didn't seem to care, snatched the film roll, and sat down directly opposite her.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Wei Ningbing raised her eyes, her voice cold and detached, like that of an emotionless machine.

"I should be asking you that. This place is near the Russian border in the mountains."

"As far as I know, the rangers in this area should be in groups of two or three."

"Besides, they're all wearing work uniforms, not as casually dressed as you."

Xia An vaguely understood that what she said might be true, after all, he had just seen it.

He wasn't too surprised to hear that this place was near the Sino-Russian border.

Previously, he had thought of venturing deeper into the mountains to see if he could find anything different.

For example, red deer and Siberian tigers.

Therefore, after looking at the topographical map of the mountains and forests of Heilongjiang Province, he specifically came from the northeast direction.

The reason it was northeast was because he noticed a very faint marker on the topographic map.

It's nearby.

His curiosity, coupled with the confidence he gained from walking on snow without leaving a trace, led him to decide to come and see for himself.

For the past five hours, he has been making his way through the snow without leaving a trace.

Based on his speed and the distance he covered, he must have walked at least two hundred miles.

Perhaps it was fate that brought him here specifically to witness the farmer and the snake.

Or perhaps, it's guidance from the system?

After all, the mark that flashed between this person's eyebrows earlier also proved that this person was also an exceptional beauty.

Xia An shook her head slightly, not thinking much of it.

"I am indeed a forest ranger, but not from this area. Believe it or not."

His voice was indifferent as he continued.

"As for you, if you can't prove your identity, then don't blame me."

"I can save you, or I can kill you, or I can hand you over to the rangers here."

Wei Ningbing frowned and gritted her teeth, saying:

"My identity is special, so it's impossible for me to carry normal identification documents."

"You might as well just hand me over to the forest rangers, and someone will come looking for me then."

Xia An frowned slightly as he looked at her confident expression.

"Since you say you're from Great Xia, will this film roll be suitable for the border forest rangers?"

Wei Ningbing frowned slightly and shook her head, saying:

"Border forest rangers operate along the border for extended periods, so they are not entirely trustworthy."

As she spoke, she gave Xia An a deep look, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Give me your identification. If you prove your identity, I will tell you my true identity."

Xia An hesitated for a moment, then handed her Xia Ming's work ID as a forest ranger.

Wei Ningbing took the work badge, looked at the information on it, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Xia Ming, a forest ranger dispatched from Songyuan County?

This identity seemed normal, but her intuition told her that something was amiss.

"My surname is Wei, and I work for the Great Xia military."

"Surname Wei? From the Great Xia military?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman in front of him again.

There seemed to be a familiar figure among them. Could it be some relative of that kid Wei Shanghua?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly remembered that the woman seemed to have a tattoo on her shoulder.

I think Wei Shanghua has that kind of tattoo on his shoulder too.

Xia An narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on her face, and uttered two words softly.

"Ice Girl?"

Wei Ningbing's pupils contracted slightly, and although she concealed it well, Xia An still noticed.

Xia An waved his hand, "I see you have a righteous spirit, so I'll trust you this time."

"I'll give the film to Secretary Han of Songlin Commune. You can go ask him for it yourself."

Having said that, he left the dugout.

He pondered for a moment, then threw down the pistol and turned to disappear into the depths of the woods.

Wei Ningbing stepped out of the dugout, picked up the pistol, and looked in the direction he had left, her expression one of surprise and doubt.

"This person seems to know me?"

"That doesn't make sense. If they knew me, they wouldn't have done that before..."

She murmured, her expression one of surprise and uncertainty.

"He must have treated my injuries; he's knowledgeable in medicine and highly skilled."

"He might even have some special medicine for healing."

"What is this person's background?"

She murmured to herself, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go and see Songlin Commune.

At this juncture, she has no other choice but to trust this person.

You could seek help from a nearby military base, but the nearest one is over ten kilometers away.

By the time someone is found, this person will probably have already disappeared.

If it were to alarm the forest rangers, that would be fine, but she didn't really trust the grassroots forest rangers.

She was more inclined to trust the man she had just spoken to than the forest ranger.

Her intuition told her that this person was trustworthy—a strange intuition.

Wei Ningbing shook her head and turned to leave.

the other side,

Xia An walked quietly through the mountains and forests, like a ghost in the mountains, without disturbing anyone.

The reason he called out "Ice Girl" was because Wei Shanghua had mentioned it to him:

It is said that he has an older sister, whom close family members call Bingniu (Ice Girl).

If Xia An is not mistaken, Wei Ningbing is most likely Wei Shanghua's older sister.

That's why he chose to believe her and let her go.

Of course, it was also because that woman had feelings for him, and she was absolutely stunning.

It would be a pity to kill him!

More than half an hour later,

Xia An found the point marked on the topographic map, the location of a cliff.

He scanned the area around the cliff through his binoculars but found nothing unusual.

However, there were faint marks on a tree near the cliff.

"It looks like someone is using ropes to go up and down. What's below the cliff?"

Xia An looked surprised and doubtful. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to investigate further.

But he didn't act rashly; instead, he waited for almost half an hour before taking action.
