23: Plan Step One
Gu Xiaoxi learned her lesson this time and stopped running around aimlessly.
She made her way to a hillside, and as night fell, she could see a training camp two kilometers away.
So, she contemplated sneaking in, then slipping into one of their supply vehicles to escape from the military camp.
…
This time, she was determined to escape from Quan Shaoqing’s clutches.
After running for a day, her rations were gone, and she had finished her water.
On the mountain, she caught a wild rabbit with ease, holding it in her hand.
After descending the mountain, she skinned the rabbit by a small stream, then started a fire and began roasting it.
The rabbit meat turned golden brown and glistened over the fire, emitting an enticing aroma.
Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the silver moon hanging in the sky, a glint of sharpness passing through her eyes.
Her keen hearing and sixth sense told her that there were people lying in ambush around her, and not just eight of them.
What were they up to?
If they didn’t come out, she wouldn’t bother them, just casually roasting her meat.
Those hiding in the bushes were the Fourth Military’s Seventh Battalion Reconnaissance Troops for the Red Army, currently engaged in an exercise with the Sixth Regiment Blue Army.
The Red Army had been lying in ambush here for half the day, aiming to annihilate the Blue Army.
Then, out of nowhere, came a green recruit who started cooking rabbit in the wild.
The starving veterans all aimed their rifles at Gu Xiaoxi, who seemed oblivious as she finished roasting the rabbit and began to eat, oil smearing her mouth.
The fragrance of the rabbit meat filled the air, and those hiding in the shadows collectively swallowed their saliva.
Suddenly, ten men in camouflage surrounded her, their guns pointed at Gu Xiaoxi, and the leader hissed in anger, “Which battalion, which company are you from?
Why are you roasting a rabbit here?”
Zhao Qin was the captain of the Blue Army, and as soon as he saw the firelight, he immediately led his men over.
They had expected to find the Red Army, but instead stumbled upon an unfamiliar little girl.
“I’m new here.
I got lost, and when I got hungry, I roasted a rabbit,” Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly said with an apologetic smile.
Zhao Qin, lit by the firelight, sized her up and warned, “You’d better not lie, or else, I’ll make sure you’re punished.”
“I’m really new here, got lost in this area.
Since I roasted the rabbit and everyone must be hungry, how about we share?” Gu Xiaoxi offered, generously holding out most of the rabbit to Zhao Qin.
Zhao Qin glanced at her and thought the new recruit was pretty astute.
He took the rabbit, tore it into ten pieces, and distributed them to his men.
Their drill included wilderness survival, and for fear of alerting the enemy by making a fire, they had been eating raw meat.
Now, with cooked meat right in front of them, and since they were starving, they all put away their guns and began to wolf it down.
Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly, holding the remaining leg of the rabbit as she quietly backed up to the base of a tree.
Just as she had moved aside, a series of gunshots rang out.
Suddenly, Zhao Qin and his group were hit like a hornet’s nest, with their helmets smoking from all sides.
Still immersed in the temptation of rabbit meat, the ten men were instantly bewildered as they unexpectedly met their collective demise…
Damn it, the Red Army was actually ambushed here?
“Zhao Qin, does rabbit meat taste good?
Hahaha, if I remember correctly, your Blue Army has been completely wiped out now,” laughed the group that had been lying in ambush in the bushes as they all stood up, screaming.
“Oh!
Victory!”
On this side, Zhao Qin, who had been utterly defeated by Gu Xiaoxi’s rabbit meat, furiously dropped the fragrant rabbit leg he was holding, his eyes blazing with fire…
At this point, no one could eat anymore, and all the Blue Army members were fuming with anger.
Angry, Zhao Qin glared at the approaching Red Army captain, Yi Chentian.
“You used a little girl to scheme against me?”
“For that, you’ll have to ask the little girl herself.
We don’t know her,” said Yi Chentian, taking off his helmet and sitting by the fire, looking at Gu Xiaoxi who was hiding behind a big tree and gnawing on a rabbit leg, “Aren’t you going to come out and explain to everyone where you came from?”
After finishing the last bit of meat on the bone, Gu Xiaoxi threw the bone to the ground, walked out of the bushes, and waved nonchalantly to everyone, “Hello, everyone.
Actually, I’m a new recruit who accidentally got lost in the forest.
I was just roasting some rabbit meat here.
Sorry for interrupting your business; that’s my bad.
I apologize to everyone!”
Her attitude was sincere, her expression serious, not at all like she was joking.
Yi Chentian liked what he saw, especially the girl’s lively big eyes that always seemed to hide her little schemes.
Zhao Qin had no idea what she had done.
But he was very clear that from the moment she started the fire, he had been keeping an eye on her.
Although on the surface, she seemed like an innocent young girl, in reality, she probably knew they were lying in ambush here all along.
Her fire attracted the Blue Army, and by using the rabbit meat, she indirectly let down the Blue Army’s guard and caught them off guard in an attack on Zhao Qin and his men.
Whether she meant to help them or inadvertently did a good deed was a mystery!
In any case, she had helped them tremendously and they had won!
Zhao Qin, watching Gu Xiaoxi emerge from behind the big tree, ground his teeth.
“Lost?
If you couldn’t find the camp, why did you come to these deep mountains?”
“I’ve been walking since this morning, and it was with great difficulty that I finally spotted the camp, still two kilometers away.
Is it wrong to roast some rabbit meat because I’m hungry?” Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Zhao Qin lazily, walked over to Yi Chentian, and sat down, asking for a favor with a smile, “Brother, considering I indirectly helped you, how about letting me stay with you all for one night?”
Yi Chentian, in a great mood, laughed heartily at Zhao Qin, “Since it’s like this, I’ve got your back, sister.
Come, tonight the Seventh Battalion will take you in.
Logistics has dormitories for girls; you can rest assured.”
“That’s great!” Gu Xiaoxi immediately ran up to Yi Chentian and started massaging his shoulders, eagerly trying to please him.
The Blue Army lost, defeated by their own gluttony.
If it hadn’t been for that last bit of rabbit meat, would they have let their guard down? fгeewebnovёl.com
Zhao Qin glared hard at Gu Xiaoxi and, leading his men, left in a fury.
On this side, Gu Xiaoxi became the honored guest of the Red Army, a great hero, as she returned with them to the Seventh Battalion.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s clever and sweet-talking nature, everyone liked her.
A bunch of grown men took extra care of her.
Gu Xiaoxi was secretly thrilled.
As long as she reached the Seventh Battalion, she could find a transport vehicle to hide in by morning.
She wouldn’t have to wander around the forest anymore, and she could leave with ease.
