A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle began to fall again.

The military dependents looked at each other in bewilderment.

Those children were not from the families of the military personnel present; they had all run there with other children, otherwise no one would have noticed.

But they are children after all, we can't just leave them on the mountain like that, can we?

Wild boars can eat people.

A kind-hearted family member suggested, "How about... how about we split into several teams and go up the mountain to look for the child?"

Of course, there are also many people who are unwilling.

There are wild boars on the mountain, and it's very likely a whole herd of them.

These military dependents are either elderly or women. They finally managed to get safely down the mountain, and now they have to risk going up the mountain again for the sake of those children whose parents are not here.

Are you kidding me?

Some people have already started cursing Tang Qiuqiao in their hearts.

They all knew that Anning had made two pairs of walkie-talkies for the children. If Sun Weiguo hadn't been taught to be so selfish by his mother and hadn't taken both walkie-talkies from their pair, they could have used the walkie-talkies to get the three children down the mountain by themselves.

But now, to find them they have to go up the mountain, and they can't voice any objections, otherwise they'll be looked at differently.

Fortunately, at this moment, a group of soldiers arrived from a distance, about thirty men, all fully armed and carrying guns.

The platoon leader, seeing An Ning standing at the front of the group, looking like she was in charge, went straight to her.

The platoon leader gave a brief salute and asked, "Comrade, what's the situation? How many wild boars are there on the mountain? Are any people injured? Are there any other people on the mountain?"

An Ning returned his greeting: "Hello, comrade. I was the first to spot the wild boar on this mountain. It was a sow kicking her piglets. My companion and I didn't dare linger far enough after seeing it, so we retreated. We don't know exactly how many wild boars are on the mountain."

But as far as I know, wild boars usually move in groups during the breeding season, so since one wild boar has appeared, there should be many more in the mountains.

Two military wives and three children are still not down the mountain.

As far as I know, the two military spouses deviated from our main force's route; they must have gone to another hilltop, but it's unclear whether there are wild boars there.

As for the three children, no one has seen them since they were separated from the other children, and their exact whereabouts are unknown.

However, the children initially played on this mountain, so they are unlikely to stray too far.

"I understand, thank you for the information! It's dangerous here; wild boars could come down the mountain at any time. You'd better go back as soon as possible." The platoon leader saluted again and shouted to the men behind him, "Squad leader, you take your squad to that hilltop to look for the two missing family members. The rest of you come with me up the mountain to kill wild boars and find the children!"

"Roger that!"

The soldiers left quickly, and the families of the soldiers, seeing that they no longer needed to go up the mountain to look for their children, also went back together.

Zhao Xuemei finally regained her composure and came to Anning's side with the child: "I really owe you a lot this time. I don't know what I would have done if I were all alone!"

An Ning smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you flatter me. Anyone would be scared in this situation. My legs were shaking at the time, but I pretended to be calm because the child was with me."

“You’re too modest. It was one thing when we were on the mountain, but once we got down there, if it weren’t for you, who would have thought that you could count the people who hadn’t come down so quickly? And those children, they didn’t come out with the adults. If you hadn’t asked Pengfei and Xiaoni’er to ask the children, I’m afraid no one would have known that they had gone up the mountain.”

As Zhao Xuemei spoke, she looked at An Ning with admiration.

"You looked so impressive commanding everyone just now! I heard a lot of people talking about you! If the child and the two military wives can be rescued safely, you will definitely have made a great contribution this time. If your husband were here, that would be even better. With this achievement, the application process for you to join your husband in the military would be much simpler, and maybe the house you live in now would be allocated to you directly!"

An Ning blinked: "Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you that my military dependent's paperwork has been completed?"

"Huh?" Zhao Xuemei looked shocked. "When did this happen? Your man hasn't come back yet, has he?"

“Yan Fei came to see me yesterday, right? It was about accompanying my husband to the military. I don’t really know the details myself. He said that my husband asked the regimental commander to help me with the military relocation. I went to sign the papers yesterday, and the apartment I’m living in now will be the one I’m assigned to.”

"That's wonderful!" Zhao Xuemei happily put her arm around An Ning's shoulder. "I was worried that if the army really arranged for Wang Xiuying to be my neighbor after you went back next month, it wouldn't be easy for us to get along. Now it's great, we can be neighbors forever!"

Back at the unit, news of the disappearance of the two military wives and three children quickly spread.

When the child's parents found out, they ignored all advice and tried to go up the mountain to look for him, even alarming the military leaders.

The military leaders hurriedly stepped in to appease An Ning, and two of them were people who had spoken to An Ning at the New Year's Eve party, including Regiment Commander Li.

"Comrades, don't worry. We've already sent men up the mountain to clear out the wild boars. I'll send another team up immediately to look for the children. It's raining and the mountain roads are slippery. You haven't had any special training, so what if you fall or encounter wild boars on the mountain? Why don't you wait here for our news? I guarantee that our soldiers will find your children."

Tang Qiuqiao was also among the family members who wanted to find the person. In the past, she would have made a scene long ago, but now, because of the previous incident of framing An Ning, she did not dare to speak up, but she was still calmed down.

After another team was sent out, the military leaders finally had time to understand the specific situation.

It was heartbreaking to hear that Anning had made two pairs of walkie-talkie toys for the children, but one of the children had taken one pair up the mountain, making it impossible to contact them.

If they could have left one on another child, they wouldn't be in this situation where there are no clues at all, forcing the soldiers to conduct a thorough search, which greatly slows down their search.

When Li Bowen saw An Ning, he took the initiative to chat with her: "Comrade An Ning, I just heard that after you discovered the wild boar's tracks, you not only promptly notified everyone to leave and immediately informed the troops, but you also found the missing family members and children as quickly as possible. Regardless of the outcome, you have made a great contribution. It's just a pity about those two walkie-talkies. If you could have used them to contact those children, their chances of survival would have been much greater."

An Ning thought for a moment and said, "If their walkie-talkies are kept on, I might be able to contact them."

"What do you mean?" Li Bowen asked anxiously.

Those are three children, all pillars of the nation's future.

It would be such a pity if he were gored to death by a wild boar!

“That walkie-talkie was modified by my friend and me. To make it easier for the kids to use, we fixed the frequency. I can try tuning the rest of the walkie-talkies to the same frequency as the pair up the mountain, but if their walkie-talkies aren't on, even if the frequencies match, I won't be able to contact them. However…”

"But what?"

"But so much time has passed, the soldiers who went up the mountain might have found them by now. Or maybe they didn't encounter the wild boar, and when they saw it was raining, they came down the mountain on their own?"

“If they find the people, they will definitely send a message back.” Li Bowen looked at the sky. “The rain is getting heavier and heavier. If the children hadn’t encountered the wild boar, they would have come down long ago. Since they haven’t come down, they must be in danger.”

Li Bowen said solemnly, "Comrade Anning, although this matter may not be successful, just in case, we hope you can lend us a hand!"

Seeing Li Bowen say this, An Ning immediately agreed: "Please wait here for me, I'll go back and get my tools."

"it is good."

Watching An Ning's departing figure, Li Bowen couldn't help but think of his subordinate who was never busy in the morning but always in a panic at night, and shook his head.

Who wouldn't want to marry such an outstanding woman?

In other words, he has been married for many years. If he could go back to his younger days before he got married, he would try to steal someone else's wife!

Thinking about the suffering this comrade had endured back in his hometown, Li Bowen was even reluctant to stand on his subordinate's side.
