Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue stood in the corner timidly, trying not to attract attention.

Finally, everyone packed their luggage and were ready to go!

These people are dressed very modestly and look like ordinary mountain villagers, plain and simple.

Zhou Xinyue lowered her head and saw a pair of embroidered shoes. She looked at the shoes and didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Xinyue knew it was Jingrou, and Jingrou deliberately walked here and gave everyone a sesame bun.

Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to look up and reached out to grab the pancake.

Jingrou stood here and was reluctant to leave until a voice from not far away called out, "Sister-in-law, Brother Shi is calling you!"

Jingrou said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Jingrou wanted to say something, but the person on the other end was waiting anxiously, so Jingrou could only turn around and leave.

Zhou Xinyue understood that she was worried about herself.

The group finally said goodbye to their loved ones and set out on the journey back to Cangdu.

I don’t know if it’s because these people are all former soldiers, but they move very fast.

In less than a day's journey, we had already climbed four mountains.

Zhou Xinyue was already exhausted and out of breath.

She kept wiping the sweat off her face, her face pale with tiredness. After all, girls don't have as much physical strength as boys.

It was finally evening, and He Shi ordered everyone to find a flat place nearby to set up camp.

Everyone decided to rest for the night.

Zhou Xinyue collapsed to the ground exhausted, sweating profusely and her whole body limp.

A man yelled, "Hey, boy, what's your name?"

Zhou Xinyue looked up and saw that someone was calling her.

Zhou Xinyue agreed: "My name is... Xiao Ming."

The man said impatiently: "Oh, Xiao Ming, come here and help."

Zhou Xinyue stood up very reluctantly and walked over to help.

Unexpectedly, I didn't help at all, but instead caused a lot of complaints from people.

They said impatiently: "This guy doesn't look like a man at all, he looks just like a woman, he has so little strength, get out!"

Zhou Xinyue was pushed away by them and scolded for a long time.

Zhou Xinyue wisely walked away, sighed, and sat in a corner.

Zhou Xinyue took out the cake that Jingrou gave her from her bag.

Looking at the cake, Zhou Xinyue felt her nose sour and she missed Jingrou very much.

Suddenly, a hand handed me a cup of porridge in a bamboo cup.

Zhou Xinyue looked up curiously, and what came into her sight was a face that couldn't be more familiar.

Zhou Xinyue stood up in shock and shouted, "Fanxing, why are you here?"

Zhou Xinyue saw Fanxing stuttering in surprise. Looking at the woman in front of her dressed as a man with a dark face full of fancy words, her eyes couldn't be more familiar.

Moreover, the clothes and pants she wore were too long, even a little funny.

Zhou Xinyue looked at Fanxing with a helpless look, and said in a worried and blaming tone, "You silly girl, why are you doing this? Why did you sneak out with me? Isn't it good to stay in the village? You have such a peaceful and comfortable life, why do you come out to suffer with me? You are so stupid."

Fanxing gestured hurriedly with her hands. Zhou Xinyue probably knew that she meant that she was worried about her and was afraid that she would go to Cangdu alone without anyone to take care of her, so she wanted to follow her back to the capital.

Zhou Xinyue was deeply moved, but she still felt sorry for Fanxing having to endure such unnecessary hardships with her.

Looking at the plain porridge handed over by Fanxing, I was still deeply moved.

After scolding her a few more times, he still pulled her to sit next to him, and the two of them drank some porridge and ate some cakes together.

After they finished eating, Zhou Xinyue still said with heartache that Fanxing was ignorant. She blamed her a few words, but she really felt sorry for her in her heart.

The two of them slept in each other's arms in the corner at night.

Early the next morning, someone shouted, "It's roll call, it's roll call, Brother He is going to call the roll to see if there are too many or too few people. If the number is not right, Brother He will deal with it seriously. Quick, quick, quick, get up, get up!"

Zhou Xinyue and Fanxing were awakened by the noise. Zhou Xinyue began to get nervous. If she was discovered, she would definitely be sent back.

No, I must not be sent back to the village. Zhou Xinyue lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, then immediately leaned close to Fanxing's ear and said, "If we are discovered, they will definitely send us back to the village. I can't go back to the village, I must go back to Cangdu. Xing'er, let's take advantage of the fact that they are going to the front now, let's leave quietly and go to Cangdu by ourselves!"

Fanxing was surprised for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xinyue looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so she hurriedly pulled Fanxing aside and quietly slipped out of the camp.

The two of them hurried into the forest.

Walk forward in the forest along the official road.

The two walked for a long time and were exhausted.

Just like this, walking for a while, resting for a while, and walking for a long time.

Finally, it was evening and it was getting dark, and Zhou Xinyue quickly found a small cave.

I was planning to spend the night here with Fanxing. Just as I had started the fire, Fanxing suddenly started shouting "Baaba".

Zhou Xinyue felt very strange. Why did Fanxing suddenly become so nervous and scream?

Zhou Xinyue looked at Fanxing curiously. Fanxing stared behind Zhou Xinyue with a very nervous expression on her face.

Zhou Xinyue's heart tightened and she thought to herself, could there be something strange behind him?

Who knew that when I looked behind me, I saw a snake as thick as my wrist.

Zhou Xinyue was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed.

He fell backwards unconsciously and sat on the ground.

The snake seemed to be frightened and rushed forward, biting Zhou Xinyue on the leg.

Fanxing rushed over and smashed the snake with a big rock until it stopped reacting.

Fanxing's nervous heart finally relaxed, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant.

His hands were shaking with nervousness.

Zhou Xinyue was also stunned by Fanxing's brave appearance just now.

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly comforted Fanxing and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the snake is dead. You are so brave, Xing'er, you are great, you are really amazing."

Fanxing seemed to have lost his soul and nodded nervously.

Zhou Xinyue was actually very nervous as she had been afraid of these things since she was a child.

After the snake was smashed to death, Zhou Xinyue took a closer look and found that it was not poisonous.

My heart suddenly dropped.

Suddenly, Zhou Xinyue felt a burst of pain in her ankle and remembered that she had just been bitten by a snake.

Zhou Xinyue unzipped her pants and saw that the area was red and swollen.

Zhou Xinyue knew that although this kind of snake was non-venomous, the bite would cause pain for a long time.

Zhou Xinyue signaled Fanxing to help her up. Zhou Xinyue knew that there was a detoxifying herb that could detoxify this poison.

That kind of grass can be seen everywhere in the mountains and fields.

Zhou Xinyue limped outside with the help of Fanxing and found this grass.

Zhou Xinyue put the grass directly into her mouth and kept biting it.

The sour taste of the grass made Zhou Xinyue feel nauseous.
