Descending The Mountain

"That's great!" Jiang Yao was overjoyed and asked, "Do you get a holiday after this exercise?"

"There will be no holiday, but I will return to the military base for two days of rest."

Old Yang grinned. "This exercise took less time than we anticipated. I was not expecting the Red Team to be so inexperienced and to lose in such a short period."

Jiang Yao was pleased to learn that she would have two days off. She turned around and returned to her tent, hastily packing up the quilt and other belongings.

Old Yang and the others dismantled everything in the tent. Lu Xingzhi brought a few other people with him.

"Are you done? Let's descend the mountain now." He proceeded toward Jiang Yao's side, carrying her items on his back. Then, he reached out and clasped her hand in his palm.
