Chapter 369: Bringing Children to Miao Territory

"How did it get exposed? What's the situation now?" The military district leader frowned.

"Thanks to the timely rescue, we have retreated safely. Two comrades were injured, but their lives are not in danger. They don't know how they were exposed. The accident happened as soon as they arrived at the village." The visitor reported.

"Could it be that there is a traitor on our side?"

One of the leaders was skeptical and had a serious expression.

"Impossible. This is a secret operation, and only a few of us know about it."

Everyone fell silent. They definitely couldn't be traitors, so...how did they get exposed?

"Is it possible that they are strangers, all strong and young men, and they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go?"

Luo Xinxin expressed her guess that the lurking Japanese soldiers had lived in Miaojiang for many years and even married and had children with the locals. The people in the village would definitely trust them more.

Moreover, these villages in the mountains are inherently xenophobic and undisciplined. Even in the 1950s, bandits were rampant in such places.

"What Comrade Luo said is very likely. The village doesn't treat people sent by the government well and is particularly xenophobic," said a leader.

"If we can't establish good relations with the people in the village, how can we find the enemy spies and poison gas? There are also two comrades trapped in the mountains, waiting for our rescue."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. According to the comrades who had returned, the amount of poisonous gas was huge. If it was not found, it would definitely pollute the local ecology, the people would be greatly harmed, and even future generations would be harmed.

They cannot leave such a huge hidden danger for their descendants to deal with; it must be eliminated in their own generation.

Li Rong nudged her lightly and signaled her with his eyes to go out and discuss something.

The two and several leaders took their leave. After leaving, Luo Xinxin spoke first: "Do you want to take Da Mao and Er Mao with you?"

She actually thought so too. With two children, they would be more like going home to visit relatives, and their goals would not be so big.

She also considered the safety of her child. The mall had a King Kong card, which would definitely protect the child.

But she was scared at the thought of taking two children over mountains and across rivers. It would be much more tiring than climbing Mount Tai with children on her back.

"I think there might be some kind of divine intervention. Da Mao and Er Mao managed to get on the plane on their own, but were only discovered when they reached Hunan Province. Perhaps they were there for us to take them on this mission. Since their safety is guaranteed, it's a good idea to take the children on an adventure."

Li Rong expressed his thoughts. He was worried about letting others send the child back to the northwest, so he decided to take the child with him.

"Okay."

Luo Xinxin agreed, but she was also worried about letting others send her back to the northwest.

They returned to the room and told the plan, but several leaders firmly opposed it: "No, the child is so young, it's too dangerous!"

Children are the hope of the country. No matter how difficult the situation is, there is no reason to let an eight-month-old child charge into battle.

"Because we brought the child, the danger was greatly reduced. The enemy must have thought the same thing, thinking we were a normal couple returning home to visit relatives. Besides, my second uncle is indeed in Miaojiang. If we bring the child to pay respects to our ancestors, they won't be able to find any suspicion."

Li Rong gave the reasons, and several leaders hesitated. It sounded reasonable, but the child was really too young.

"The child is too young. If...it still doesn't work, we'll find another way."

"Leader, we are the child's biological parents. We will definitely protect the child."

Li Rong's repeated assurances finally made the leaders relent and agree to let them bring their children into Miao territory.

Several leaders were deeply moved by the couple's righteousness and decided that even if the mission failed, they would still commend them and not let such good comrades feel disappointed.

The next morning, Luo Xinxin and her family set off with their two children. Mr. Yang was against it at first, thinking that crossing mountains and rivers was too tiring, and that there were many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains, which would be too dangerous for the children.

Luo Weian also strongly opposed it, worried that something might happen to his precious great-grandson.

But Luo Xinxin and her friends had made up their minds and finally set off with their children.

After driving for several hours and experiencing a bumpy ride, they finally arrived in Xiangxi in the afternoon. The two children were sleeping soundly in their arms, without suffering at all.

That night they stayed in a guesthouse in the county town. There was only one guesthouse in the county town and the conditions were very ordinary.

The county town is not big, but the streets are quite lively with many people wearing colorful ethnic costumes. Luo Xinxin roughly counted and found that there were five or six different costumes.

Xiangxi is the region with the most complex ethnic groups. There are probably dozens of ethnic minorities, the largest of which are Miao, Tujia, Yao, etc. The most mysterious is also the Miao.

The Miao people's Gu has appeared in many martial arts novels, and Miao women are also the most popular characters in martial arts novels, because Miao women are beautiful, passionate, passionate, strong-willed, and very loyal to love.

After putting their luggage in the guesthouse, Luo Xinxin and Li Rong went out shopping and bought some local specialties. Mr. Yang and the others also went out shopping. Thanks to Luo Weian's careful care, he is now in good spirits.

Li Rong was responsible for carrying the children, with Da Mao in front and Er Mao behind, looking like a typical dad.

The county town is not big. While walking around, they happened to meet Mr. Yang and his group. Mr. Yang was sitting in a wheelchair, eating a scallion oil cake in his hand.

"The scallion oil cakes at that restaurant are delicious. You can go and try them. It's a pity that the chef is gone, otherwise they would taste even better." Mr. Yang pointed to a restaurant on the street.

"Okay, we'll go buy some food later. Has Mr. Yang been here before?"

Luo Xinxin asked casually.

"I've never been here, but I had a friend who lived here, and she loved the scallion oil baba from this shop."

Although Mr. Yang's tone was light, one could sense his melancholy and a subtle hint of guilt.

"Are you going to visit your friend?" Luo Xinxin asked.

"She's…gone."

Mr. Yang sighed, lost interest in the half-eaten scallion pancake in his hand, and asked his attendant to push him back to the guesthouse.

Luo Weian also went back with him. His main task was to provide personal care for Mr. Yang 24 hours a day.

After they walked away, Luo Xinxin whispered, "The friend who's not here must be a woman. She's most likely his lover."

Li Rong thought about it and was sure that Mr. Yang had not mentioned his friend's gender just now. How did his wife guess it?

"You can guess it if you read a few more romance novels. Mr. Yang was infected with his own destiny Gu. This kind of Gu costs one's life..."

"How do you know it's the natal Gu?"

Li Rong interrupted her, saying that he didn't know about this.

"I didn't tell you?"

"No, your memory has been a little bad lately."

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so lazy, would I have been able to have children? And two at once, do you know how much it takes out my energy? I used to have a photographic memory, but now it's gone!"

When Luo Xinxin heard this, she became furious and started to curse.

Li Rong shut up obediently, regretting it so much that he wanted to pull out his tongue.

After Luo Xinxin had finished scolding her, she explained the principle of the natal Gu and her analysis. Li Rong agreed with her, "So, his donations to the country over the years are very likely to atone for his sins."

"No matter how much she tries to atone for her sins, that woman won't survive. He's the only one who knows what happened back then."

Luo Xinxin's tone contained a hint of sarcasm. Although Mr. Yang had made great contributions to the country, it could not cover up the fact that he had let down Miao Nu. She had already reported this to her superiors, but they still wanted to save Mr. Yang.

She understood the organization's approach. After all, individual interests are always less important than collective interests.

But the grievances of the Miao girl were forgotten.
