Chapter 60: The first one to show up is not necessarily the big boss

Qi Xu thought Chang Shunan could sleep for a while, but he woke up unexpectedly. "Hey, I found it at the market. They said no one cares for this crazy little guy."

"Little crazy?"

Jiang Hongyi had a bad feeling in his heart and lifted the curtain and walked inside.

"You, don't want to keep him at home?"

"Her name is Chang Shunan, she's a little girl. Besides, her madness can be cured. With a little helper at home, grandpa won't be so lonely anymore. What's wrong with that?"

Qi Xu noticed that he was somewhat hostile towards Chang Shunan who was lying on the bed, so he sat beside the bed, touched Chang Shunan's little head and began to persuade him.

"Little girl?"

It was obvious to the naked eye that Jiang Hongyi's eyes were not as sharp as before.

"Is her illness difficult to treat?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, you still don't believe me?"

As Qi Xu spoke, he began to put his hands on his hips and acted righteously.

Jiang Hongyi laughed without warning, "Okay, you decide."

Qi Xu took the opportunity to introduce, "An An, I'm Sister Qi, and he's Uncle Jiang. The one you saw when you first walked in was Grandpa Qi."

Chang Shunan was probably a little uneasy because he was not in the familiar environment after waking up for the first time, and subconsciously grabbed her sleeve and hid behind her.

"Be good, An An. No one will bully you from now on. Just treat this place as your home."

Qi Xu knew very well that unfamiliar environments would be particularly frightening for children, so he held her in his arms to comfort her.

Then she carried Chang Shunan around the house and introduced him to everyone, including Xue Niang and the wolf cub.

After feeling that Chang Shunan was not as nervous as before, he put her on the ground.

The most important thing about this kind of disease that can easily lead to hysteria is the emotions during communication. As long as the emotions are stable, Chang Shunan will not get sick.

Then Chang Shunan became a little follower, following Qi Xu wherever he went. The empty seat next to Qi Xu instantly changed from Jiang Hongyi to Chang Shunan.

Jiang Hongyi kept staring, but felt bitter in his heart.

I don’t know whether adopting Chang Shunan is good or bad for him.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Jiang Hongyi's attention was diverted by the knock on the door.

"Captain Jiang, the situation is this: our team's gala is rehearsing this afternoon, and the leader of our art troupe would like to invite you to come and see if there are any adjustments that need to be made to the quality of the program."

Qi Xu recognized Chen Lin in the kitchen and didn't know what she was up to, so he stuck his head out to take a look.

"It's up to the program's art troupe to decide."

Jiang Hongyi didn't even think for two seconds and refused directly.

"Captain Jiang, it's like this. The regiment commander hopes you can attend the rehearsal."

Chen Lin, however, was not so easily discouraged. He took the initiative to step forward and continued to emphasize, "Brother Jiang, if you don't go, I really won't be able to report to the commander."

"Jiang Hongyi, go and do the team's work. Try to go and come back early."

Qi Xu saw that Chen Lin would not give up until he achieved his goal, so he took the initiative to make suggestions.

When she called Jiang Hongyi's full name, she did not miss the subtle eye roll Chen Lin gave her.

"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as I'm done."

Jiang Hongyi turned around and looked at her, then agreed, changed into his military uniform and went out.

In fact, Qi Xu had some selfish motives in asking him to go. He wanted him to go to the team again, perhaps the forensic examination data had come out and he could check it directly.

After Jiang Hongyi went out, he and Chen Lin took the initiative to keep a distance of two feet.

If Chen Lin took two steps slower, he would take four steps back. After that, Chen Lin compromised and had to take the initiative to lead the way.

"Captain Jiang, come over here. You still need to review the team's performance."

The head of the art troupe turned around and saw Jiang Hongyi coming over and hurriedly shook hands with him.

The performance on stage proceeded in an orderly manner, but Jiang Hongyi had no desire to watch it.

When the director of the art troupe spoke to him, he just nodded repeatedly.

"Battalion Commander, Captain Jiang."

The forensic doctor somehow found out that he was on this side of the stage and appeared behind him with a serious face.

"Captain, I have some official business to attend to. You can decide the rest of the program."

After saying hello, Jiang Hongyi followed the forensic doctor back to the examination room.

"Captain, the test results are not good."

"A large amount of blood was detected in the soil, and the remains have been confirmed to be those of Captain Chang."

"Two more skeletons have been unearthed under the locust tree, but their identities have yet to be determined."

"There are also two jars sealed with yellow talisman paper."

The forensic doctor took two steps forward and guided Jiang Hongyi's gaze to the jar on the cabinet.

!!!

This jar looks familiar!

It was exactly the same as what he had seen at Xiaohao's house before.

This matter became more and more strange, and his brows furrowed even more.

"I understand. Don't move the jar, and don't make any noise. Wait for me to investigate."

Jiang Hongyi's temples were twitching. After giving instructions to the forensic doctor, he went to look around under the old locust tree.

Although the black and red mist surrounding the old locust tree has decreased, it has not been completely cleared, which means that there are still some filthy things that have not been found.

Thinking of this, he wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

"Hey! Captain Jiang, you're not watching our art troupe's rehearsal, so you found an excuse to come here and enjoy the scenery?"

"It's just that the scenery isn't very pretty, with some potholes. How about I ask the men in our art troupe to fill them in?"

I don't know what brought the head of the art troupe here, but he started speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"No, Captain, this is our armed forces' business, so don't worry about it."

The reason why Jiang Hongyi spoke so emphatically was because he saw the black mist all over the body of the art troupe leader, as well as the disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

"Captain, please go ahead and get busy. It's getting late. If I don't go back, my wife will tell me off."

He simply found a legitimate excuse to slip away.

Jiang Hongyi, who left quickly, did not see the blazing anger in the eyes of the art troupe leader.

On the way, I had already thought of a hundred and eighty possibilities in my mind, and I couldn't wait to discuss them with Qi Xu.

As a result, as soon as I walked into the living room, I was attracted by Chang Shunan's eating habits.

Chang Shunan seemed to have not eaten such delicious food for a long time. His mouth was full of rice and vegetables and he kept chewing, while his eyes were still choosing what to eat next.

Qi Xu brought a glass of water and helped her straighten her back, while letting Chang Shunan drink the water to avoid choking.

When I saw him come back, I signaled him with my eyes to sit down and eat.

There was a new member in the family, so after dinner, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi went to clean up another small bedroom together.

"Qi Xu, there is indeed something wrong with the team, but I'm not sure if he is the one who found the remains of the old locust tree."

"Don't worry, we are in the open and they are in the dark. They may be testing us."

When Qi Xu replied, his voice was much weaker, almost touching his ear.

"Oh, okay, okay."

The sudden heat beside Jiang Hongyi's ear made him take a big step back.
