Chapter 51: Tie Lan Yan Meets Song Bai Yuan

“Who’s there?!”

Tie Lan Yan was still immersed in the joy of killing the wild boar.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes watching her from behind.

She turned her head and met a pair of intense, burning eyes.

“Comrade, hello, my name is Song Bai Yuan.”

Song Bai Yuan pushed aside the bushes in front of him, carrying a wild chicken in his hand, and walked slowly towards her.

As he got closer, Tie Lan Yan could finally see his face.

The man was tall and straight like a pine tree, with handsome features and a strong aura in his brows.

Especially his eyes, deep and sharp, his whole body exuded a sense of determination.

This person… seemed to be the muscular man who was chopping wood at the foot of the mountain.

She didn’t expect his face to be so handsome.

His aura really did resemble a soldier…

The next second, Song Bai Yuan introduced himself:

“Comrade, I’m from the Beijing Land Warfare Troops, I saw your skills, are you interested in joining the army?”

Tie Lan Yan:……

Sure enough, he was a soldier, he spoke so directly.

“No, I’m a down-to-earth intellectual youth, I can also create a world for myself in the countryside.”

These were all grand words, in reality, she didn’t want to go to the army.

The army’s discipline was too strict, it wasn’t free, it wasn’t suitable for her kind of carefree person.

Most importantly, she was very selfish.

Unlike soldiers who wholeheartedly served the people, she only cared about herself, she shouldn’t go and ruin the army.

Hearing Tie Lan Yan’s refusal, Song Bai Yuan wasn’t disappointed, instead, he found a topic:

“Comrade, your skills just now were really amazing, we can spar sometime.”

Tie Lan Yan almost spat out a mouthful of salt soda.

No, what kind of serious conversation was this?

Spar with a girl he just met??

Sure enough, he was a soldier, a straight man of steel, no doubt.

Tie Lan Yan smiled: “Okay.”

It just so happened that she hadn’t met an opponent since she came to this era, the others were all rookies.

Song Bai Yuan looked like he could fight, she was looking forward to it!

Just as they were chatting, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and with a rumble, a clap of thunder sounded.

The wild chicken in Song Bai Yuan’s hand was startled, it struggled and flapped its wings.

At that moment, something unexpected happened.

–The wild boar on the ground, which had been lying still after being stabbed, suddenly jumped up!

With lightning speed, it charged forward and bit the wild chicken.

It turned around and quickly darted into the bushes, disappearing in a flash.

Tie Lan Yan: ???

Was this wild boar a spirit? It was playing dead?!

So the wild boar she had fought tooth and nail to kill, just disappeared right in front of her eyes?

Song Bai Yuan:……

His wild chicken……..

He was planning to take it back to his mother to nourish her body… it was gone…

“Rumble rumble!”

There were several more claps of thunder in the sky.

In an instant, the rain poured down in a torrent.

Song Bai Yuan: “Let’s find a place to take shelter from the rain!”

The rain would obstruct their vision in the forest, it wouldn’t be realistic to look for the wild boar again.

They were in the middle of the forest, it would take at least two hours to get out of the forest, it was better to find a place to take shelter first.

Tie Lan Yan also understood this, she nodded: “Okay!”

The two of them searched around and finally found a cave.

There was some dry grass and firewood in the cave, probably left by people who had entered the mountain before.

Song Bai Yuan was in the habit of carrying matches with him, and he quickly lit a fire.

They were both a little wet, so they dried their clothes by the fire.

Being in a small space with a stranger, anyone would feel uncomfortable.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a while, Song Bai Yuan took off his jacket and handed it to her:

“Comrade, your face is covered in dirt, wipe it off.”

Tie Lan Yan was quite disheveled.

She already had two patches of black paste on her face.

She had also gotten blood on her face from fighting the wild boar, she looked like a demon, her original appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Tie Lan Yan: “Thanks, I’ll use my own jacket.”

It was early autumn, everyone who went into the forest wore thin jackets.

Tie Lan Yan took off her blue and white checkered shirt and wiped the blood off her face.

The paste couldn’t be wiped off, it was thick on her face, she needed to use warm water to soften it, she would deal with it when she got back.

Because of Song Bai Yuan’s actions, the atmosphere was no longer so tense.

Tie Lan Yan also took the opportunity to introduce herself: “My name is Tie Lan Yan, I’m a down-to-earth intellectual youth from Guizhou Village.”

“Hello, Comrade Tie, you’re so skilled, did you learn martial arts from a young age?”

Song Bai Yuan was genuinely curious.

Tie Lan Yan nodded: “You could say that, when I was young, I accidentally saved an old man with a white beard, and he taught me a few moves.

From then on, I secretly practiced on my own, my skills got better and better, but not many people know about it.”

Hehe, the legendary old man with a white beard took the blame.

This was an excuse Tie Lan Yan had thought of long ago, anyway, no one could find this old man.

A flash of admiration crossed Song Bai Yuan’s eyes: “So you’re a self-taught genius, you’re really amazing.”

Tie Lan Yan smiled proudly: “Of course!”

Looking at her smiling eyes, Song Bai Yuan felt even more strange in his heart.

He didn’t feel it before, but now that he was close, he realized that she looked like someone he knew.

–The girl who helped him at the state-owned restaurant in Beijing.

Especially those bright eyes, they were really too similar.

Unfortunately, she had something on her face, he couldn’t see her appearance, otherwise…

As soon as this thought arose, it was rejected by Song Bai Yuan.

Impossible.

That girl was in Beijing, and this was a small county in the mountainous area of southern China.

They were worlds apart, how could they be the same person.

But… it wasn’t impossible.

If that girl went to the countryside… and happened to come to their village…

This infinitesimal probability, maybe he had just encountered it!

Song Bai Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, his Adam’s apple bobbed.

His voice was low and magnetic:

“Comrade Tie, your accent isn’t local, where are you from…”

“Help! Is anyone there to save us?!”

At that moment, a cry for help came from outside the cave…
