The third boy wasn't very tall, but he had bright, clever eyes and a slight smile on his lips. He seemed quick-witted.

"Hello, Teacher Chen. My name is Liu Zixuan. I have a solid foundation in practical skills and I enjoy studying. If I have any questions in the future, I will need your guidance."

He spoke tactfully and knew how to conduct himself appropriately, clearly demonstrating a greater understanding of human relationships than the other two.

Of the two girls, the first one to step out was a quiet and pretty girl with a low ponytail, gentle eyes and a soft voice, and a touch of shyness.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, my name is Li Mengmeng. I'm a little timid, and I might be a bit clumsy at first. Please bear with me, I'll learn slowly."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, a typical sign of a well-behaved and introverted personality.

The last girl had delicate features, was dressed neatly and smartly, had bright eyes, and exuded youthful energy and liveliness. She was neither timid nor flamboyant.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, my name is Xia Yutong. I have good practical skills and adaptability. I'm fully prepared for my rural internship and I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue!"

Her tone was crisp, confident, and exuded a powerful aura.

The five individuals each have distinct personalities: one is steady, one is simple-minded, one is clever, one is gentle, and one is dashing; each has their own unique characteristics.

Chen Ping looked at the five energetic young people, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be nervous, everyone. From now on, you'll be both mentors and apprentices and colleagues. Just learn diligently and work conscientiously. I will try my best to teach you as much practical experience as possible."

"Also, when you get to the health center, there will be your senior colleagues there, who are not much older than you, so you don't need to be too reserved."

Chen Ping first introduced the health center to the group of students to ease their anxiety.

Taking the opportunity, Director Zhou solemnly instructed, "You five, remember, although you are going to the countryside for an internship, you are still students of the nursing school, and your words and actions represent the image of the school."

"Once you arrive at the health center, you must abide by the rules and regulations of the unit. You cannot think that just because you are no longer under the supervision of the school, you can be free and play around as you please."

"Dr. Chen is highly professional and responsible. It's a blessing for you to learn from him. No slacking off, no talking back to your teacher, understand?"

"We heard you!" the five students responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.

After giving brief instructions, Director Zhou took Chen Ping to the office to complete all the internship handover procedures. The files, reports, and internship agreement were all checked and found to be correct. The process was clean and efficient.

After completing the formalities, Chen Ping led five students out of the nursing school's office building and hailed a seven-seater ride-hailing car online.

The group boarded the car one after another, the car started, and drove away from the city towards Siping Township.

Chen Ping kept turning back, but he didn't see Su Meng during this morning's handover of students.

Logically speaking, Principal Su Meng should not be absent from public view.

Chen Ping was a little confused, but he was too embarrassed to ask Director Zhou.

After the car had driven far away and the school was completely out of sight, Chen Ping turned his head and stared out the window, lost in thought.

Soon, the car drove out of Tianhai City, and mountains slowly came into view.

Having just escaped the constraints of school, the five students completely let loose, losing all their previous restraint. They were incredibly excited, like wild horses unleashed.

With the car windows wide open, a refreshing mountain breeze rushed in, and the green trees and fields along the roadside rushed past.

Wang Hao peered out the car window, his face full of wonder: "Finally, I don't have to be stuck in the classroom every day memorizing and doing practice problems. My back aches from sitting so much all day. This is a real liberation!"

Liu Zixuan laughed and replied, "That's right. I've heard that there are more hands-on opportunities in township health centers, which is much better than doing odd jobs in urban community hospitals. I'm glad I came here."

Quiet Li Mengmeng leaned against the window, muttering softly, "I wonder what the conditions are like in the countryside. Is it very remote? And what about the toilets? Are they smelly outhouses?"

Xia Yutong immediately chimed in, her tone carefree: "What's wrong with being a little off-center? It's quiet, and you can even train yourself. It's better than just wasting your time at school."

Zhang Lei sat quietly, not joining in the chatter, but silently watching the scenery outside the window with a calm expression.

Chen Ping sat in the passenger seat, listening to the lively chatter of the young people behind him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The youthful vigor is pure and vibrant, warming people's hearts just by looking at it.

"The overall conditions at our Siping Township Health Center are quite good. The health center has been newly renovated, and the dormitories all have bathrooms, not dry toilets, so don't worry."

Chen Ping said with a smile.

"That's great, I'm just afraid of the smell." Li Mengmeng clapped her hands happily.

Chen Ping continued, "Our health center is building a new treatment center building, which will be put into use next year. There is a canteen for meals, which are all stir-fried dishes, so you don't need to worry about food and accommodation."

"But there's one thing I need to tell you beforehand: the rural environment is different from the city. There are many mountains and dense forests, few streetlights at night, and sparse population."

"After get off work in the evening, stay in the dormitory and rest properly. Don't be curious and wander around the back mountain or forest."

"There really are wolves in the mountains around here, I'm not trying to scare you."

The back row fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

The group of people, who had been chattering away, suddenly perked up their ears, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Wolves? Really? Teacher? Are there still wolves around?"

Wang Hao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Zixuan also dropped his joking expression and leaned forward slightly: "I've only ever seen wolves in zoos. There can't be wild ones in the mountains, can there?"

Li Mengmeng instinctively clenched the hem of her clothes, her face turning slightly pale, clearly showing some fear.

Xia Yutong also dropped her previous nonchalance, her eyes filled with curiosity and nervousness.

Zhang Lei didn't say anything, but he looked over, clearly showing some curiosity.

Chen Ping smiled faintly, "Of course it's true. I even confronted and fought a fully grown wild wolf a while ago."

"That wolf was huge and had tremendous explosive power. It was only a few meters away from me at the time, with a fierce look in its eyes and its fangs showing."

"Fortunately, I'm used to working and I'm quite agile. I also grabbed a large rock and we struggled for a while before I managed to force it back and drive it away."

"The wild animals in the mountains are extremely ferocious. If you really encounter one, an ordinary person simply cannot withstand it."

"Therefore, I want to emphasize again that entering the mountains at night and going out alone at night are strictly prohibited. These are the strict rules of the health center, and no one can break them."

The five students listened intently, holding their breath, their excitement and restlessness completely gone, replaced by deep respect and seriousness.

They were all children who grew up in the city and had never been in contact with wild animals in the deep mountains. This was the first time in their lives that they had been so close to wild beasts. Just listening to Chen Ping's description made their scalps tingle.

"Teacher, you're amazing! You can even stand up to a wild wolf!" Wang Hao exclaimed with admiration.

"After hearing that, I dare not run around anymore. I will stay in the yard obediently." Xia Yutong nodded quickly.

Li Mengmeng whispered in agreement: "I... I definitely won't go out, it's too scary."

Seeing the few people who were somewhat frightened, Chen Ping smiled slightly.

Children are children; even though they are adults, they haven't seen much of the world.
