The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 201 - 198

The big cat seemed like a child caught doing something wrong, jumped, then quickly grabbed the meat jerky on the ground with its mouth and disappeared behind the rocks with a few leaps.

Ling Chengyan squatted on the branch for a minute, making sure the big cat really left and didn’t look back before she lightly jumped down from the tree.

As soon as she touched the ground, four heads popped out from under the rock.

"Commander?" Zheng Hongwei’s voice.

Ling Chengyan paused for two seconds, responded in a low voice, and silently walked over, instructing the people to pack up the cans and put them in the bag.

She had already decided to add one more precaution for everyone: clean up and take away all food packaging, including but not limited to meat can boxes, and seal them in bags to avoid exposure before leaving the mountain.

Especially things like meat can boxes, the remaining aroma could really attract some ’guests’.

Discovering unexpected visitors obviously made night traveling inappropriate.

Ling Chengyan called a few people to find some dry branches nearby and reignited the campfire.

The snow had stopped sometime, the temperature was lower, and a thin layer of snow covered the leaves and even the rocks.

Ling Chengyan held a flashlight to check around. Seeing a little snow, her worries eased slightly. The snow was thin and would quickly melt after dawn, not significantly affecting the search for flags.

"Commander, I’ll stand watch, you can sleep by the fire for a while." Zheng Hongwei said.

Ling Chengyan took the flashlight and walked a few steps up the rock. The big cat had left some faint traces on the thin snow. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Ling Chengyan jumped onto a rock and saw some claw marks on the trunk of a catalpa tree and a small patch of water by the roots with no snow.

Ling Chengyan sniffed, frowned - territorial markings of the big cat. It was unclear whether it was the ’kid’ tearing at the can or a parent following behind.

Shaking her head, Ling Chengyan was about to turn around when the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of dark red.

She shone the flashlight and, upon seeing that red object, couldn’t help but smile - the big cat and its cub didn’t come in vain; they even brought a little gift.

It was the first flag they found after a day of traveling!

After that night, their luck seemed to turn, and in the following day, they found two more flags.

On the third day, they found two more. In the afternoon, they encountered a ten-person team from Yu Province. The other team lamented that nearly three days had passed, and they had found only one flag. The task of finding ten flags was too difficult.

Ling Chengyan also showed a bitter expression: "It’s indeed too difficult; on the first day, we encountered a snake; on the second day, a leopard. Just now, we almost slipped into a mountain ravine... At least you have mountains there, with frequent training providing more experience in mountain traveling. For us on the vast plains, once we’re in the mountains, we’re blind... It’s too hard."

Ling Chengyan’s plight was much more severe than theirs, and the opposing platoon leader even felt a bit guilty.

Both teams didn’t delay too much, exchanged a few words, and then each led their team away.

Zheng Hongwei quietly caught up and whispered, "I asked a soldier just now; they found three flags."

Ling Chengyan raised an eyebrow, turned to her companions, and said, "Seems like we’ll need to step up a bit."

The four behind all grinned and nodded: "Don’t worry, Commander, we’ll complete the task."

"Just completing the task isn’t enough," Ling Chengyan said.

"Don’t worry, Commander, we’ll exceed the task," they responded in unison.

Ling Chengyan finally grinned and said, "Let’s go, move out."

Three thousand miles away in Huicheng, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xing, and Hongbing were about to start their winter vacation. Of course, before winter break, students had an important task, which was the final exams.

Wang Liansheng woke up half an hour earlier than usual this day to buy a thermos of soy milk and a basket of fried dough sticks. He scooped the boiled eggs from the pot and carried them inside.

Xiao Xing and the others were already up and washing up. Little Shi Tou was still curled up in the bed, sleeping like a little piglet.

Wang Liansheng placed the breakfast on the table and called to the older ones, "Hurry up and wash up, or breakfast will get cold."

Saying that he went inside to dig his son out from the covers.

Little Shi Tou was carried out by his father, eyes still closed. Wang Liansheng dressed the little guy in a cotton jacket and pants, carried him outside, splashed some water on his face, and only then was the little one willing to open his eyes: "It’s too cold! My nose will freeze off!"

Wang Liansheng splashed some more water on his big forehead, laughingly scolded: "Without cold water, you’d never wake up."

Laughing, he quickly washed the little one’s face, put on shoes and socks, and set him down on the ground. Little Shi Tou then scampered into the room, headed to the bedside table, took his baby cream, dabbed it on his forehead and nose tip, and rubbed it in with his chubby little hands.

"Shi Tou, hurry, it’s time to eat." Wang Liansheng called from the outer room.

"Coming!" Little Shi Tou dashed to the outer room.

Xiao Yu had already eaten, holding a backpack in one hand and half a fried dough stick in the other as she hurried out the door: "I’m leaving first."

Wang Liansheng said, "Your sister’s bike is at home, you can ride it."

Xiao Yu had one foot out the door, saying from a distance, "No, riding a bike makes my hands and feet cold; I might as well run. It’s not far; I’ll be there soon."

With that, she was out the door, not even closing it.

Xiao Xing blinked: "Dad, how about I ride the bike?"

Hongbing chimed in, "I’ll ride; I can carry people."

Wang Liansheng raised a hand to knock them on their foreheads: "Stop daydreaming. You’re just a few steps from leaving the courtyard; what bike do you need? Hurry and eat, or you’ll be late for the exam."

"Dad..." Xiao Xing still didn’t give up.

Wang Liansheng raised his index finger: "If you don’t train early one day, do you want me to tell your mom?"

"No, no." Xiao Xing quickly gave in, bowed her head to eat, and stopped talking.

After sending off the three children, Wang Liansheng’s work time approached.

Hongling proactively said, "Fourth uncle, you go to work. I’ll take Shi Tou to daycare later."

Wang Liansheng nodded, got up to put on shoes, grabbed his bag, and prepared to leave, reminding her, "Just take Shi Tou to school, don’t worry about anything else. I’ll come back to cook lunch."

With that, he waved goodbye to Shi Tou and Hongling and hurried away.

"Big sister, it’s so cold today, can’t I not go to school?" Little Shi Tou began negotiating with the big sister.

Hongling smiled at him: "I can’t decide that. How about I find a way to call your fourth aunt?"

Little Shi Tou looked at big sister, sighed deeply, shook his head, and drank the soy milk: Big sister has too good a temper, always checks with mom for everything. Sigh!

The family was bustling and busy, unaware that a letter had arrived at the Nanli Team headquarters that day.
