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

West of Anpingtun,

At the edge of the mountains and forests,

The patrol was on high alert when a gunshot rang out from the mountains.

Everyone tensed up, their eyes warily turning towards the direction of the forest.

"What's going on? Has someone gone into the mountains?"

"I don't know."

"The hunters from our village are all on patrol. Could they be from other villages?"

"..."

The patrol members were discussing it amongst themselves.

Luo Jun walked over and said loudly, "Everyone, stay alert and don't let your guard down."

A moment later,

A series of rustling footsteps approached, and everyone tensed up, looking over warily.

Of course,

As the two figures approached, everyone was taken aback.

"Yang Yanjun?"

Beside the strange man carrying the wild boar, Yang Yanjun, who was limping and pale-faced, was seen.

"As long as it's from your Anping Village, take it back, and then tell him not to go into the mountains again."

The stranger said coldly:

"To dare to go into the mountains with just a machete, I wonder who gave him the guts."

"If it weren't for the good fortune of running into me, they would probably all be gone by now."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jun and the others all gave Yang Yanjun strange looks.

Luo Jun stepped forward and said, "Comrade, do you not know how to address me?"

The stranger glanced at him, his voice softening slightly.

"My name is Xia Ming, and I'm a forest ranger dispatched from Songyuan County. I've seen you before."

Luo Jun was taken aback. "Have we met before?"

Xia Ming (An) nodded, "I've seen you, but I only know if I've seen you. I don't know if you've seen me."

"But Xia, the new educated youth who came to your village, should know me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jun was slightly taken aback and exclaimed in surprise:

"Comrade Xia, do you know Xia, the educated youth?"

Xia An nodded slightly. "We've dealt with each other before; he even betrayed me once."

"Sold before?"

Luo Jun's expression tightened, and he looked warily at the unfamiliar forest ranger in front of him.

Xia An waved her hand and smiled, "Don't be nervous. I'm talking about how he exposed my whereabouts, but it's not a bad thing for me."

"Come on, take me to see your village's Party Secretary. I want to have a chat with him."

"good,"

Luo Jun nodded. "Come with me."

Xia An carried the wild boar and followed him. Yang Yanjun, who was in disguise, was still filled with fear and quickly followed.

Seeing this, the other patrol members did not follow and continued their patrol.

Their task remains patrolling.

They can only leave their posts and go back to rest once the replacement arrives.

quickly,

The arrival of the three at the team headquarters attracted the attention of many people.

Xie Weiguo led his men over. "Luo Jun, what's going on?"

Xia An threw the wild boar on the ground and glanced at Xie Weiguo and the others.

Finally, the image focused on the illusory form, a slight smile playing on the corner of the lips.

"Xia, the educated youth, we meet again."

The illusory form stepped forward and smiled, "So it's Comrade Xia. What brings you here?"

Xia An took a bag from his waist and tossed it around to indicate:

"I was asked to deliver some things, but I ran into this wild boar and killed it while I was at it."

beside,

Luo Jun also whispered a few words of explanation to Xie Weiguo, but he didn't know much either.

Xie Weiguo looked over and asked, "Xia, do you know this comrade?"

The illusory body nodded. "He is Xia Ming, a forest ranger dispatched from Songyuan County. I asked Comrade Wei Ningbing, and she confirmed it."

Xie Weiguo nodded slightly, his gaze turning to Xia Ming (An).

"Comrade Xia, I am Xie Weiguo, the Party Secretary of Anping Village. Luo Jun just said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it?"

Xia An smiled slightly, "So it's Secretary Xie. I've come to discuss a deal with you."

"I can't finish this wild boar by myself, so I'd like to ask you all to take it."

"Leave me two pounds of pork tenderloin, and the rest of the lean meat will be 50 cents a pound, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo turned and glanced at Kong Boyue.

Kong Boyue nodded slightly. "Alright, shall we handle it or will you?"

"You guys come," Xia An shook her head.

"It's too much trouble to deal with, I'm too lazy to do it myself, I'll just give it to you in the water."

Kong Boyue nodded and waved his hand. Several young men came up and carried the wild boar away.

Seeing this, Xia An didn't look at it any longer, and pointed at Yang Yanjun.

"Also, since I'm here, I'll take this opportunity to mention this person."

"Even though it was just the outskirts of the mountains, I dared to go in alone with only a machete."

"They're quite brave, but their safety awareness is lacking."

"Of course, I'm not lecturing you, I just hope you can give us a little reminder so that our team members don't lose their lives in the mountains."

Xie Weiguo glanced at Yang Yanjun, whose face was pale and who was surrounded by Sun Wei and her mother-in-law.

"We understand."

"Comrade Xia, is there anything else? Shall we go inside and talk?"

Xia An shook her head. "There's no need to come inside. I only have these two things to discuss with you. I need to go back and get busy after I've finished dealing with them."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the many Anpingtun team members present.

"By the way, which one of you is Yang Yanqiu?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Yang Yanqiu.

Why is she the one they're looking for again?

Yang Yanqiu had just taken a step forward when Yang Zhiming stepped forward to protect her.

"Comrade Xia, my name is Yang Zhiming. Yanqiu is my daughter. May I ask what business you have with her?"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to deliver something."

"Delivering something?"

Yang Zhiming and the others frowned, looking puzzled.

Xia An shook his head and chuckled softly.

"My grandfather was from Xiajiatun, and Xia Jiang is my cousin."

"This is the ten catties of grain he asked me to buy, saying he wanted to deliver it to Yang Yanqiu."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and handed the bag of polished rice to Yang Yanqiu.

"That Xia Jiang kid has good taste; he's brought a beautiful wife to the Xia family."

"Consider my two pounds of pork tenderloin a gift from your cousin."

"If you encounter any problems later, you can ask someone to contact me for help."

"Of course, this only applies to your situation, since your family's circumstances seem a bit complicated."

Yang Yanqiu's eyes showed some doubt, and his gaze unconsciously glanced at his true form.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, she hesitantly took the bag, intending to ask him about it later.

She shook her head and said softly, "Thank you... cousin, but I'll pass on the meat."

"You're welcome."

Xia An waved his hand, then glanced in the direction of the mountains and forests.

Then, he turned to look at Xie Weiguo.

"Secretary Xie, given the nature of my work, I'm afraid I can't stay long."

"After you've finished weighing the goods, give the money to Yang Yanqiu, and I'll ask Xia Jiang for it later."

"Yes," Xie Weiguo nodded, though he seemed slightly surprised.

"But then again, do you really trust us that much?"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "I've always trusted my own judgment. Secretary Xie, you won't let me down, will you?"

Xie Weiguo gave him a deep look, then nodded slightly.

"You have a good eye. Anping Village has always been honest and trustworthy. Whatever it is, that's what it is."

Xia An nodded slightly, turned around with his gun on his back, and headed west.

Seeing this, the real body and the illusory body's eyes flashed, and they quickly caught up.

"Comrade Xia, would you like to come in and have a chat?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. "Sure, what would you like to talk about?"

The illusory form chuckled, "Let's find a quiet place and chat for a bit."

"good!"

After the two left, the crowd looked at each other, wondering what Xia An was planning to do.
