I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 391 Shoe Prints in the Forest

It's not the height of the mountain, the depth of the water, the size of the heart.

The Wohu Mountain is not really high, and the Mudanjiang River is not really deep. Fan Tuaner's...

Chang Wei has small hands, so he doesn't pursue this.

He had a dream at night. In the dream, he traveled through time again and started a life of ups and downs again. The heroine kept changing. Sometimes she was the graceful He Yushui, sometimes she was the elegant and refreshing Lan Xiaojie, and sometimes she was the gentle Fan Tuaner.

I spent my middle age in a muddle.

They had originally agreed to grow old together, but she dyed her hair and became bald.

The nightmare-like scene woke him up instantly. Only after he touched the messy chicken coop above his head did he finally wake up completely.

The bonfire was still emitting heat, but Chang Wei did not see Fan Tuaner on the stone slab. When he hurriedly got up and went out to look for her, he just saw her running back in a panic.

"Where have you been?" When Chang Wei saw her come back, he lay down again, crossed his legs and refused to get up.

Fan Tuaner didn't expect Chang Wei to wake up at this time. She blushed and stammered without answering.

Chang Wei stopped asking.

Who doesn’t go to the bathroom after getting up in the morning?

The young man’s morning is like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality, and it takes him a while to straighten himself up.

It was already bright outside. Chang Wei wiped his face with snow, went out for a walk, and came back with a big grass carp.

"Just eat it."

"Is this acceptable?" Fan Tuaner was very satisfied and did not ask him where the fish came from.

"It's still a bit disappointing to eat grilled fish in the morning." Chang Wei scraped the fish scales, cut the fish into two pieces along the back, and started grilling it on the campfire. "The grilled fish is still the best in the mountain city. I have to try it after the New Year."

“They have strong taste.”

"You've had too much of a good life in the past few years." Chang Wei skewered the fish and stuffed it into Fan Tuan'er's hands. "People in cold and barren places have always had heavy tastes. They are poor, have no food to go with their meals, and have to do heavy physical work, so they can only eat a lot of oil and salt. Look at the coastal areas in the south. The rich areas have been eating light food since the Tang and Song dynasties."

“Isn’t it because of the climate?”

"The climate is only a small part of it. The main reason is because of the wealth. During the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou's tax revenue accounted for one-tenth of the country's total. Just look at it. In a few decades, it will be extremely wealthy again."

Fan Tuaner listened to his nonsense with a smile and did not refute it.

"Don't disbelieve me, huh." Chang Wei tried the fish meat. Fortunately, the fish raised in the space did not have a strong earthy smell. After applying seasoning, he squatted on the ground and continued to roast it. "By then, there will be rich people over there. We will be considered shabby if we eat green vegetables, but they will be considered healthy if they eat green vegetables."

Fan Tuaner couldn't imagine a world where one had to rely on eating green vegetables to stay healthy.

The whole country is now short of food, and long queues often form in front of the state-owned restaurants in the city.

Those were members from the countryside who were not able to get enough food, so they brought their families to the city for a snack.

There are rumors now that after the New Year, you will not be able to eat in state-owned restaurants without food coupons, even at high-priced meals.

After eating the fish, my stomach was full and I didn’t feel so cold anymore.

"Let's go. They must be getting anxious." Chang Wei took down the cotton coat hanging on the door, rolled it up in his hand, and whistled to let the little yellow dog go out to explore the way.

Fan Tuaner carefully folded the cotton coat and trousers that served as bedding and held them in his arms. When he was about to leave the cave, he turned his head and looked back, feeling a little reluctant and nostalgic.

They were washed down by the river. If they wanted to return to their previous position, the best way was of course to go upstream along the river.

The river was flowing, and there was ice on the shore, but the river became narrower and the ice became smaller as they went forward. To be on the safe side, both of them were willing to take a detour and climb the mountain.

People who often go on adventures know that there are always various terrain features on both sides of the river that hinder passage, especially in the vast mountains of the Northeast, where it is almost impossible to walk along the river.

So they didn't actually move along the river, and most of the time they couldn't even see the ice on the river, and occasionally they couldn't even hear the sound of the river flowing.

The straight-line distance is five kilometers. If they take a detour in the mountains, they will have to walk about ten kilometers, and they will have to climb up and down to consume more physical energy.

Fortunately, the roads they walked on were all confirmed to be safe by the little yellow dog in front of them, and apart from two rabbits and a ferret that stopped curiously, they did not encounter any other danger along the way.

While on the journey, Chang Wei wanted to throw away both cotton coats, but Fan Tuaner refused. So he had to take them all and cut down a dead tree for her to use as a walking stick.

According to him, this can test the solidity of the snow layer, save energy, and make the triangular support more stable.

There were few clouds in the sky and the sun was abundant, occasionally shining golden light into the jungle.

Chang Wei didn't dare to look at it any longer. Instead, he tried to find a place where the sunlight couldn't reach and move forward.

If you look at the sunlight reflected from the snow for too long, your eyes will go blind.

Fan Tuaner, who was carrying only a small bag and a rifle, saw Chang Wei carrying the bag in both hands and a big bag hanging behind his butt, jumping up and down in the jungle without caring about his physical strength. When passing by a snow ferret, he even thought about stopping and thinking about whether he should grab this little thing and give it a good jerk.

She was thinking that if she wasn't a burden, he could probably live comfortably here for a long time.

No, with his abilities, he should be able to live a good life no matter where he is or what he does.

"Chang Wei? Why did you become a police officer?"

"Why?" Chang Wei tilted his head and thought about it. Although the job was a top position, it seemed to be his own choice, so he said casually: "What's wrong with being a civil servant? I have money and power, not to mention that I can become a deputy minister in the future."

"Don't talk nonsense when you get out." Fan Tuan'er didn't reprimand him, but gently reminded him, "There's no such thing as power or no power. This is all for the people."

"Without power, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you work for the welfare of the people?" Chang Wei continued walking without looking back, looking around, "Bai Suzhen was trapped under Leifeng Pagoda, and her son went to ask Fahai to release her but couldn't. But after he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he immediately rescued her. Why do you think that was?"

Fan Tuaner didn't expect that he would give such an example. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chang Wei suddenly lower his body, squat down and carefully observe his surroundings.

She immediately shut up, squatted down, and crawled over in the snow.

Not far in front of them, there were two sets of footprints heading towards the dense forest.

She became serious: "Someone has been here."

Chang Wei stood up and looked around, but did not find any green or red names. He squatted down and scratched the footprints with his fingers twice.

"If they were a team looking for us, there would be no way they would be traveling with only two of us. If they were hunters, they would not have run so far, and they are not far from here."

"How did you know?"

"There isn't much floating snow on the footprints." Chang Wei looked up at the sky and the small snowflakes falling through the treetops. "They won't be gone for more than a quarter of an hour."

......

I am now free and guilt-free, and I can spend my life as I please.
