Chapter 374: Picnic by the River
"It's less than an hour's drive! It's not far from the pavilion on Qingshui River."
"Oh!" Sunuo fastened his seat belt and leaned back in his seat.
"Old Wu, when do you plan to take your vacation?" Deputy Company Captain An asked Company Captain Wu.
"I plan to do it after the Spring Festival! What about you?" replied Captain Wu.
"It's about this time!" Deputy Captain An heard Captain Wu say it was after the Spring Festival. "If the three of us take leave at the same time, then we can go back to Xiangcheng together! Lao Lu will also go to Xiangcheng first!"
"Okay!" Captain Wu was also very happy after hearing this. "You will all stay in Xiangcheng for a few more days. I will do my best to be a good host. I will treat you to a meal and then take you to Xiangcheng for a good walk! Lao An, you have graduated for a few years now, so you rarely come back to Xiangcheng, right?"
"Yes! It's been several years since I graduated! You know what, my vacations in recent years have been in a hurry, and I was called back early twice. All the activities that were originally scheduled were cancelled." Deputy Company Commander An still missed the time when he thought of his time studying at the National University of Defense Technology.
"Actually, I should call you senior brother. You are one year older than me."
Lu Hongxuan was driving the car, listening to the conversation between Deputy Captain An and Captain Wu. He would say a few words from time to time. Su Nuo fell asleep after getting in the car. When she woke up, they had arrived at their destination.
After getting off the car, everyone immediately carried their things and walked towards the river.
"The weather is pretty good today! The soil is dry! We are lucky!" Secretary He said happily when he saw that the soil by the river was dry.
"Yes! The last time I came here, I thought it would be a sunny day and the soil would be dry. Who knew it didn't rain in the county but it rained here!" Deputy Company Commander Wen echoed while trimming the lawn.
Put the tape on it and then put the things on it.
"This place is nice, isn't it? The scenery is beautiful! Look, the water is so clear!" Lu Hongxuan said to Su Nuo as he arranged things. "It is quite beautiful!" Sun Nuo looked at this place and felt that it was no worse than those 5A-level scenic spots.
"Old He, are you able to do it? Your fire-making skills have regressed!" Officer Li saw that Officer He had been fiddling with the charcoal for a long time but failed to light it, and immediately laughed at him.
"A man can't say no! The charcoal here seems to be a little damp. I've replaced some new ones! It will be fine! You and Lao Wen should hurry to the woods to dig traps. Maybe you can catch a few rabbits or something!" Secretary He kicked Secretary Li.
"Okay, keep going. Let's go check out the old traps and reinforce them. If we're lucky, it would be perfect if we can catch something!"
Soon they all left, leaving only Lu Hongxuan, Officer He, Deputy Captain An, and Captain Wu.
"Are they going to dig traps to catch rabbits?" Su Nuo asked Lu Hongxuan in surprise.
"We've been trained in wilderness survival training. I've been here a few times before. There are a lot of rabbits and pheasants here! We almost never miss one. The taste is always delicious!"
Su Nuo was looking forward to hearing Lu Hongxuan's answer. However, the boots she wore were not high-heeled, but they were not suitable for going into the mountains.
Secretary He built a fire and boiled some hot water. Lu Hongxuan and his friends washed the meat in the river and then washed it again with warm water.
Deputy Company Commander An is good at cutting vegetables. He is in charge of cutting vegetables while the others are in charge of stringing them.
