Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

But this time, no matter what Ruan Yu said, she wouldn't agree to let her stay in the village alone and wait, and she also wanted to go with them.

"Since you're going into the mountains to look for firewood, but you don't want to go too deep, I'll go with you!"

Ruan Yu grabbed the corner of Xie Beichen's clothes and refused to give in. She insisted on following him and being a burden no matter what: "This way I can still help you carry some of the load, and we can bring back more firewood!"

"Okay." Xie Beichen was still no match for Ruan Yu, so he had to compromise and surrender.

Of course, this is also because Xie Beichen estimated the degree of danger of entering the mountains.

His main purpose of going into the mountains this time was to prepare firewood, so he would not go too deep into the forest, so it was relatively safer.

There's nothing wrong with taking Ruan Yu with us.

"Then why don't we just go and borrow another sled from the old branch secretary, so that we can make two more trips into the mountains and back, and we can make up for the remaining deficit in about one day."

Seeing that Xie Beichen agreed, Ruan Yu finally laughed out loud with satisfaction, and began to count on her fingers to estimate how much firewood they would need to prepare in order to survive the winter safely.

At the same time, he also gave a very good suggestion: "In the fall, when we go into the mountains to prepare firewood for the winter, we always pull a cart in to transport it.

This is much faster than having someone carry it in there alone!"

Xie Beichen also thought that this suggestion was good, so the two of them told the old branch secretary and others about this plan during dinner.

The old branch secretary had no objection to this.

After all, it's rare that it hasn't snowed these few days, so it's important to hurry up and transport the firewood back and prepare it.

Even though their Kaoshan Village is surrounded by mountains, collecting firewood is not as easy as just taking an axe into the mountains and chopping wood randomly and then transporting it back.

The villagers climbed up the big trees in the forest and cut off the branches that grew too densely, and the withered and dead trunks were also removed.

This will not only collect enough fuel for the winter, but will also not damage the forest vegetation, but will help the growth of trees next year.

It can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

However, because the trees nearby had already been dealt with in the autumn, if Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen wanted to collect enough firewood, they had to move deeper into the area.

Fortunately, the place they chose to stop was relatively safe. After Xie Beichen observed the surrounding environment and found nothing unusual, he took off his outer coat, got off the sled with a hatchet and hand saw, and prepared to climb the tree to start working.

It was at this time that Ruan Yu discovered with regret that they seemed to have forgotten to ask the old branch secretary for tools to climb the tree.

She had seen how the villagers climbed trees in the previous autumn.

No matter how skilled the tree climbers are, they have to take protective measures for safety, otherwise the old branch secretary will never agree to let them climb the trees.

However, this time, she actually forgot such an important thing!

Without the protection of the tool, how could she and Xie Beichen climb the tree? Even if Xie Beichen could climb up, it would not be safe!

"No need for that."

Xie Beichen gave Ruan Yu a reassuring look, then put the handle of the hatchet on his waist and walked to the nearest big tree.

Before Ruan Yu could stop him, she saw Xie Beichen leap up and in the blink of an eye he was already on a tree branch five or six meters above the ground.

"..."

How did he get up there?

Ruan Yu stood under the tree, and was completely stunned when she saw Xie Beichen walking on the tree as if it were flat ground. She didn't even hear Xie Beichen's several calls from the tree to remind her to retreat to a safe area.

"Okay, that's great."

By the time Ruan Yu realized what was happening, Xie Beichen had already been waiting on the tree for a long time. She stepped back a little embarrassedly, but she did not hide her amazement and praise.

"Everyone in the army usually has similar training." Xie Beichen was naturally very pleased with the little girl's eyes full of admiration and praise.

Although he appeared to be still calm as before while handling the branches of the tree, in fact, he was like a peacock facing the opposite sex of his favorite person, eager to show his gorgeous tail feathers and display his most perfect side to his lover.

For example, after Xie Beichen finished cleaning up the branches of this tree, Ruan Yu originally thought that he was going to slide down the tree and then climb another one like the other villagers in the village.

However, Xie Beichen did not choose to get down from the tree as usual. Instead, he exerted force on his feet, and his whole body was as light and handsome as a big bird with its wings spread. He spread his wings and landed steadily on another big tree.

In less than a moment, a thick layer of tree trunks had accumulated on the ground.

Ruan Yu no longer had time to appreciate Xie Beichen's dazzling performance on the tree, which was like a martial art, and began to busily collect the firewood on the ground.

Cut the branches and stack them neatly on the sled.

According to the previous discussion between Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu, they planned to move a few more times today before it snowed, so that even if a snowstorm came, their firewood would be enough to last for a while.

Ruan Yu originally planned to stay where she was and continue to collect the firewood, and let Xie Beichen drive the sled back to the village and come back. However, as soon as she said this idea, Xie Beichen directly rejected it.

Even if this place was not in the more dangerous deep mountains, how could he feel at ease leaving Ruan Yu here alone?

So in the end, Xie Beichen took the most conservative approach, going back with Ruan Yu, and then coming here together.

Although this slows down the progress, it is safer.

And more importantly, you can stay in the village to have lunch, rest for a while and then set off in the afternoon.

The two of them were busy transporting the goods back and forth three times. Seeing that there was still early, Xie Beichen decided to make another trip with Ruan Yu.

The firewood collected in this way will be enough to last at least until after the New Year.

"Almost done. I've asked the logistics department to buy me some coal. I have to go to the army in the next two days to tell my comrades and old leaders about the time of our wedding, and invite them to come and watch the ceremony. At the same time, I'll go and transport the coal back."

On the way back to the forest, Xie Beichen was still talking to Ruan Yu about the next arrangements in a relaxed manner, but he didn't expect that a danger and opportunity that neither of them had expected was rapidly approaching them.

Because Xie Beichen had already cut enough branches before, so for this last trip, the two of them just continued to pick up the branches on the ground and put them on the sled after they were sorted.

Ruan Yu packed her things carefully, and with Xie Beichen by her side, who gave her an infinite sense of security, she didn't pay any attention to the changes around her.

It was not until she was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by Xie Bei that she realized that something had happened!
