The night is getting darker, and bright searchlights are already on the ski slopes and ice lakes.
Li Yifeng led three small hunting teams, starting from the villa, passing by the ski resort and ice lake, into the valley forest area.
Wang Xinmai doesn't like snow, but obviously hunting is not what he likes. Hunting has to climb mountains, keep up with the team, and can't speak very loudly. Compared with that, he prefers to stay in the ski resort or in front of the campfire tent on the ice lake. Anyway, as long as Cao Cheng takes action, he will not be hungry. But he was the one who offered to bet on the group competition. Now he can only follow Cao Cheng with a miserable expression, and trudge through knee-deep snow with difficulty.
The expression on Cao Cheng's face is a lot more relaxed. In places where there are few people, he can be more relaxed.
Ling Dingyi and Li Yifeng walked side by side. They walked at the front of the wind and snow, talking about something deliberately or unintentionally as they walked.
Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu were at the end of the team. Lin Wanyu can keep up with the team's speed, but Luo Ye walks very leisurely, completely indifferent, without any sense of urgency to snatch prey, Lin Wanyu can only slow down and follow Luo Ye without saying a word. Around.
When passing the ice lake, the hunting team stopped for a while.
Dozens of blazing bonfires have illuminated the entire ice lake in red. There are several camping tents tied up in front of each fire, and each tent is large enough to accommodate eight people.
Li Yifeng chose a tent near the edge of the valley, "So that we can roast our prey out of the hunting ground, provided that each group of us can catch the prey." He threw a piece of raw pine into the bonfire, and the flames emitted lightly. The sound of the sound, greedily licking up the tongue of fire.
Wang Xinmai sat down on the canvas folding chair and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Before entering the mountain, his physical strength was already stretched.
Li Yifeng smiled and said: "Maizi, you wear too much. The clothes on your body may weigh ten kilograms. There is almost no way to walk after entering the mountain. You must drag Cao Cheng's hind legs."
Cao Cheng looked at Wang Xinmai, "If you can't, just stay here and watch the tent."
Wang Xinmai suddenly became angry, "The tent can't run. Brother Luo and Miss Lin are the last people walking in the line. How come I'm holding back? The big deal is that I just take off a few cumbersome clothes."
While several people were talking and laughing, Luo Ye walked to the side of the tent alone, lowered his head and kicked the snow with his feet.
Lin Wanyu folded her arms in front of her chest, "Do you regret using a knife to hunt?"
Luo Ye continued kicking Xuexue, and replied without raising his head: "It's you who should regret the most, right?"
Lin Wanyu was half angry, half giving up and sighed. "It's nothing if you don't eat a meal. After all, we are a whole. I don't want to... be separated from you."
Luo Ye suddenly stopped the movement of his feet, and he saw several red and blue wires that were deliberately buried. No wonder this piece of snow is so unnatural. It turned out to be... Luo Ye looked around and found that almost every tent had a trace of snow being refurbished, especially the large tent in the middle of the ice lake that could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. There are all traces of this all around.
At the same time, Luo Ye noticed that the party truck had not left, and the three workers were looking around with solemn faces—
Lin Wanyu couldn't help being a little angry when she saw Luo Ye ignored her. "Hey, are you listening?"
Luo Ye calmly buried the wires with his feet, and said to Lin Wanyu with a serious face: "Promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lin Wanyu asked strangely.
"Always follow me."
"Am I just following you all the time?" Lin Wanyu bit her lip.
Not far away, Wang Xinmai had changed his clothes, and Li Yifeng greeted them to leave.
Luo Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist, shook her vigorously, and said in a low voice: "If you lose yourself, find a place to shelter from the wind and wait for me. Don't go back alone without me. Bonfire camp."
Lin Wanyu had so many questions in her heart that she didn't know which one to ask first. She just looked at Luo Ye in confusion.
Luo Ye did not explain, but said with an indisputable emphasis: "Repeat my words again."
Lin Wanyu subconsciously moisturized her lower lip, "I have been following you all the time, if I get separated, I will never go back to the campfire camp alone."
In the distance, Li Yifeng and others urged loudly.
Luo Ye still took Lin Wanyu's arm and corrected him and said, "You can't come back with them, you have to wait for me."
"You are so strange, what happened?"
"promise me!"
Lin Wanyu had never seen Luo Ye's serious expression. She took a breath and nodded slowly, "I promise you."
"Very good." Luo Ye showed a relaxed smile on his face, "Let's go, the hunt has begun." As he said, he turned and walked towards Li Yifeng.
Although Lin Wanyu didn't know what the content of the conversation with Luo Ye meant, she found that it was a pleasure to make Luo Ye smile. As for dispersal, she didn't even think about it.
Li Yifeng has a GPS positioning pin in his pocket. Every time he walks ten meters in the woods, he throws a pin the size of a pin with a red light onto the trunk and walks along the pin. It's hard to get lost.
Moreover, Lin Wanyu's jacket also has a positioning device, which can be directly displayed in Li Yifeng's handheld device. With such a sophisticated positioning device to escort her, she really didn't understand what Luo Ye was worried about—perhaps he was just making excuses for not being able to eat dinner? No, he is not that kind of person.
The hunting team went farther and farther, gradually reaching the depths of the mountains and forests.
Night is not the best time for hunting. Coupled with the endless wind and snow, most animals have been hidden, making hunting virtually more difficult.
Li Yifeng didn't worry much. He was very familiar with the topography of Nanshan Forest and walked in the forefront with confidence.
Ling Dingyi was right next to him, and he didn't act very hard either. He was sent to the most remote grassroots level to exercise, walking a mountain road that was steeper than Nanshan. After walking for half an hour, he didn't even breathe in the atmosphere.
But Wang Xinmai and Lin Wanyu, who were caught in the team, were a little overwhelmed. The physical strength of climbing the mountain road for half an hour was barely able to cope with it, but as the wind moved forward in this dark, heavy snowy sky, every joint of his body began to sore.
Wang Xinmai clenched his teeth and persisted, striving not to be looked down upon by others.
Lin Wanyu didn't eat much at noon. A piece of barbecue was eaten into Luo Ye's stomach after only a few mouthfuls. Now the stomach is groaning and he regrets why he didn't eat more.
Luo Ye walked at the end of the team, stepping on the footprints of the previous few people, and said nothing. Lin Wanyu walked slowly, he walked slowly, Lin Wanyu walked quickly, and he followed. He always kept a distance from Lin Wanyu, even if the two of them had fallen ten meters away from the entire team.
Li Yifeng saw that Lin Wanyu was a little weak, and deliberately slowed down, and began to talk to Ling Dingyi. "Brother Dingyi, you left without saying hello half a year ago, and came back without saying hello half a year later, and you showed up at my party as soon as you came back. I was really flattered."
Ling Dingyi understood that Li Yifeng wanted to test him, so he smiled softly, "Brother Yifeng’s Nanshan Manor is so well constructed and the party has such a big influence. Of course I want to participate. Why, brother Yifeng won’t Blame me for uninviting me?" A polite remark, which cleverly avoided Li Yifeng's temptation.
"How come?" Li Yifeng said with a smile: "I wish that Brother Dingyi would live in Nanshan Manor every day, so that my real estate company would have the green light all the way." This sentence played a beautiful side ball, both with jokes and The color of ridicule also points out the relationship between himself and Ling Dingyi.
Ling Dingyi held the trunk of the tree, breathing for a while, "I really want to live in Nanshan Manor and spend a few days like this free and easy life of Brother Yifeng—"
"Why? The grassroots life is not free and easy?" Li Yifeng knew the consultant. It stands to reason that officials who are sent to the grassroots for training will be treated well, because local officials know that “exercised” officials will be promoted at any time, so they will try their best to flatter themselves in order to have an extra path in the officialdom in the future. The local officials are the native emperors, and the subordinate officials are the living bodhisattvas to be supported by the native emperors. Even if the basic living conditions are not as good as the prosperous cities, the supreme privileges alone are enough to make people linger. Be careful, the larger the power seems to be, the smaller is actually available. As the saying goes, the magistrate is not as good as the current one.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ling Dingyi's mouth, "It's a pity, after half a year, I have to return to Jinghua City in the end."
Li Yifeng was startled, and the positioning pin in his hand stopped in mid-air, "You have been transferred back?" This is no less than an explosive news. It will be transferred back in the next half a year. This fast pace is enviable. "Where did it go back?"
Ling Dingyi continued to move forward, and said lightly, "That's it."
"Here?!" Li Yifeng asked half-jokingly: "Nanshan Manor?" Although it was a joke, even he could hear the surprise in his heart. He knew what Ling Dingyi's "here" meant. It's just that the news came too suddenly, making him a little difficult to adapt.
"Jinghua City." Ling Dingyi's calm voice was almost drowned in the wind and snow. "Next week, I will be transferred back to Jinghua City to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee."
"Congratulations!" Li Yifeng tried to conceal the shock and anxiety in his heart. From the secretary of the municipal party committee in the remote mountainous area to the standing committee member of the capital municipality directly under the Central Government, this kind of promotion is probably only possible for a big family like the Ling family. What made Li Yifeng faintly disturbed was that Ling Dingyi had come to his Nanshan Manor before he was officially transferred. It was by no means as simple as having fun.
"I'm leaving the mountainous area where I live for half a year, and I feel a little bit reluctant." Ling Dingyi said as he walked; "Before the transfer, I want to help the children in the mountainous area prepare some donations."
Li Yifeng's shoulders couldn't help but relax. "It turned out to be so. It's easy to handle. I will ask the assistant to send a check tomorrow." Knowing the purpose, Li Yifeng was relieved.
Ling Dingyi stopped suddenly and turned to look at Li Yifeng, "I'm not here to ask you for money."
Li Yifeng was quite confused, "Didn't you say to collect donations?"
"What I want is the list of people participating in this party," Ling Dingyi said with a smile: "The blood of the people feeds them, but they don't know how to feed them back. I will find them one by one according to the VIP list for donations."
Li Yifeng took a breath without concealment. Ling Dingyi’s doing this is tantamount to opposing the entire government and business class in Jinghua City. With his calm personality and family background, there is actually no need to do this—
When he was about to speak something, Luo Ye and Lin Wanyu already followed.
Luo Ye had a sharp smile on his face, "Little wind, the wind and snow are too big, you have to lead a good way."
